When Stupidity and a Lack of Skill are Deliberate Acts of Terrorism: The radicalism of federal employees

We may see significant accidents like the one in Philadelphia every day, and we should look at them all as acts of terrorism, purposeful attacks on our American culture.  That plane was registered in Mexico, and we are seeing the effects of DEI policies and globalism in general everywhere, which is likely a massive contributor to this most recent plane crash in Pennsylvania, unskilled pilots from another country getting lost in the clouds, or having their vehicles taken over due to too much automation by a third party for the act of sabotage and destruction to push a political agenda, such as trying to stop the Trump administration with PR nightmares that consume all their time and resources.  But let’s not forget about the strange plane crash in Washington D.C., where a military helicopter ran straight into a landing commercial airliner over the Potomac, killing all on board, for no good reason at all.  The aircraft should not have been at that flight altitude of 400 feet.  It should have been much lower.  There is a lot wrong with the military helicopter because even if the air traffic control people messed everything up in managing all the aircraft in the air over Ronald Reagan International that night, the pilots would have clear visibility at the 11 o’clock positions of the passenger jet, and could have stopped well in advance.   They flew right into the plane and did nothing to try to swerve out of the way, leaving many to suspect that the helicopter was being flown remotely.  And the passengers flying it may not have been conscious.  That the voice heard talking to the air traffic controllers was A.I. driven because it did not lend credence to the observed reality.  There would be no way the pilots wouldn’t have seen what they were about to face. 

But all these things now, these purposeful terrorist actions of sabotaging flights to make them crash, just ahead of President Trump’s executive orders forcing all federal workers back to work, are more than a coincidence.  I listened to the news outlets talking about these crashes with wall-to-wall coverage, shaking my head at all they were missing.  This is the kind of Saul Alinsky strategy that the radical left globalists expect out of good, loving, everyday people.  They think we are gullible, even stupid, and we won’t see the truth behind all this evil because we cannot process it.  There is a lot more to the story of the air traffic control tower at Reagan International that needed to be staffed with 30 people, and only 19 were working that night.  The quality of the people working in all these jobs were DEI hires, meaning that the priority for employment was their skin color or handicap condition, which gave them priority over other qualified applicants.  Being understaffed is not an excuse when your work’s policies make it so that everyone is dealing with an utterly artificial constraint of only hiring certain people, broken people, under the disguise of fairness when the intent is genuinely sabotage.  To sabotage the merit-based society of America and to have it fall apart with the push of a button.  Yes, when you have so many automated systems that do not require skilled people to do the jobs, don’t be surprised when it all goes wrong.  But why now, and why almost every night?  Well, for that answer, you have to understand the radicalism of the average federal worker, including those at the FBI and CIA who belong to radical labor unions and have gained way too much power and, when pressed, are perfectly capable of abusing it.

As I watched the various clips of all these crashes, especially the one in Washington, D.C., it looked very similar to the Tesla Cybertruck bombing in front of Trump Tower in Las Vegas.  Notice how that story disappeared?  Or the massacre by the Islamic radicals in New Orleans at almost the same time on New Year’s Day.  In the Tesla case, these vehicles can drive themselves.  So you could kill the driver and put him in the seat so that the body gets the blame when the explosion happens, and all the investigators are happy to have at least found some believable evidence of the culprit.  Only in the Cybertruck case did we see the driver moving right before the explosion, which brings up a whole new layer of problems.  Can people be remotely controlled? The answer is yes, especially if they have military backgrounds where mental conditioning can turn them into compliant soldiers incapable of free thought with the flick of a mental switch.  All these characters have the same characteristics as the Las Vegas shooter at the concert venue during the first Trump term.  When the military is involved, as it was in the Washington D.C. plane crash, or we are dealing with open borders and exchanges with globalism, as was certainly the case with the crash in Philadelphia, we are seeing terrorism purposefully concealed within systems of trust so that we can never know the intent hidden behind assumption.  The assumption is that equality is more important than skill, which then leaves always a back door open for the terrorists to exploit the unskilled and unleash terror.  While everyone is trying to figure out what happened and are looking at control towers understaffed, the real terrorists stay hidden behind their push-button concealments and get away with the crime. 

To find these terrorists, we need only to look at the conditions for which these tragedies are presented and to know what federal workers are motivated by.  The traditional action behind a tragedy is to throw more workers at a problem, but the attack against this Trump administration that is firing people in massive amounts is to create a crisis that indicates that fewer federal workers will lead to more tragedy.  And that the more federal workers we fire, the more these kinds of accidents will happen.  Leaving everyone to consider whether or not such an evil proposition is even possible.  And I would say, based on lots and lots of experience, that yes, this is very possible and highly likely.  If we were to look beyond the investigative veil of the dead pilots in the seats of crashed aircraft, cars, and control towers, we would most likely find angry, radicalized leftist Trump haters who are using automated systems to hack into them and cause accidents hoping to stop Trump and his crusade to remove such employees from our federal government.  Yes, crazy people will kill the innocent for what they think is the greater good.  And too often, by these types of people, the greater good is defined by John Lennon’s song “Imagine.”  When you have millions of federal employees, there are always a percent or two who are off their rocker, especially when the Biden administration prioritized hiring practices through DEI.   The current number of incompetent, radicalized workers is much higher.  Terrorism was always baked into those politics so that if they ever needed push button terrorism, they would have it.  And I think that’s what we are seeing, push button terrorism driven to stop Trump’s policy and panic the public into a sense of unease.  As we strive to make America Great Again, we will increasingly see the people who want to prevent that from happening conduct an open war on our trust and try to bomb us back into the stone age through the embedded DEI policies and excessive reliance on automated systems to make DEI even remotely possible, but taking skill out of consideration and making it easy to exploit the stupid for acts of terror.  To see all that, it only requires the next layer of questions of the observable reality to be noticed.  It’s not a coincidence; it’s an attack.

When Police Break the Law, They Have to be Punished: The J6 prisoners never should have spent one day in jail

I said it right after the event; everyone can look up all the videos and see what I wrote then.  I always said that the January 6th incident in 2021, when people were upset at election fraud and stormed the Capitol Building, had to happen.  I didn’t understand why everyone made such a big deal about it.  After all, there was a government that just stole an election to perform a coup against President Trump, and they thought they were going to get away with it like some backwoods third-world armpit of a country.  A certain percentage of the population needed to express their anger in some way, and in this case, it was by letting the government know that the people’s house was theirs and that they could take it back if they wanted to.  Now, there are all kinds of things wrong with that day, especially among the 26 FBI agents who spread out through the massive crowd around the Capitol to bait people to break the law so that they could call the whole thing an insurrection so that they could blame Trump for it and in the process, destroy his political life from then on.  When a massive crowd showed up to hear with some hope, Trump’s last speech to them ahead of certifying the election results, the FBI, in coordination with Nancy Pelosi and others, plotted with some bait to push these angry people into a collective action that they could use to club the MAGA movement over the head and deter any further protests against the government coup.  And some people broke windows and acted in a manner that I would never do.  And a few people died and got hurt.  But my attitude about it all then and now was, what did anybody expect to happen?  The government stole an election and took away a president people liked.  They were lucky that was all that happened, “they” being the government.

So it had to happen that Trump pardoned all the poor people who were thrown in jail for the last four years just over a government trying hard to stay in power through intimidation and force.  When the government breaks the law and controls how the law is interpreted, you cannot have a civil society if law enforcement doesn’t enforce the law but provokes themselves into breaking the law and uses the law to cover up their crimes, which was what happened on January 6th, 2021.  We have a Constitution that limits the power that government has, especially specified in the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments, and the January 6th prisoners had all those rights violated unjustly.  Their due process was deliberately violated, and what was done to them was completely unforgivable.  Law enforcement should expect people to fight back if they violate the protections people have from an out-of-control government.  Democrats have been saying that Trump should have never released with a pardon most of the J6 prisoners because they assaulted police officers.  But when police officers break the law or the enemy captures your legal society, what are you supposed to do?  The plan by the government was to capture our legal system and then break laws by controlling the enforcement.  And they thought nothing of using the January 6th incident to put people in jail to send a message to the rest of the country that if they were thought to be involved, even remotely, in a plot against the corrupt government, they would have their rights taken away from them and would be jailed as a message to the rest of the world.  It was nasty stuff.

I would never do anything like the J6 protestors did.  I would fight it out in court.  As much as it is fun to fight back and even justified, I do much better with my mouth than any other method, and I would use it instead of violence.  I’ve been in enough of those things to know that my mouth is the best weapon against corrupt people who aren’t nearly as smart.  I had a lot of talks with people who wanted a lot more violence that day.  I even took serious steps to join the Proud Boys after the stolen election in 2020, so I know those guys pretty well.  It didn’t work out; I’m too cerebral to march around in a pack of volunteer ground troops. I wanted to join to help to lead them to good things.  Not to be just another face in the crowd.  So it didn’t come together, me joining the Proud Boys.  But that’s how it was after the election, and I had to explain to many people that the best way to club these people over the head is with lawfare of their own.  Trump understood that even if he knew what the government was doing was wrong, he had to follow the rules to later enforce the rules.  A lot of the reason things are working so well now is because Trump played by the rules, and the people elected him back to office.   We all had to thread the needle pretty well to get to this period because there were a lot of people who wanted open violence and another Civil War against the government, and I can say I did all I could to maintain peace during this challenging time.  But many people were ready to fight, so the government was lucky that all that happened was all that happened. 

Anybody in law enforcement has to understand that if they take orders from the bad guys, we don’t have a blank check society that is going to take it.  We give law enforcement the authority to be treated with respect.  But it’s on them if they lose that respect through improper behavior.  I can say this: I served this past year as a Forman of a Grand Jury, and we did a couple of cases where the police abused their authority in collecting evidence for an arrest.  I could see from the testimony that the police officers were frustrated with their investigation into a drug house.  They knew the criminals were dirty, so they pulled a couple of them over for an improperly functioning turn signal.  And in the process, they found all the drugs and evidence they needed to make the arrest.  Well, most of the members of the grand jury did not agree with me, and they moved not to indict because they didn’t like to see an abuse of authority by the cops to use a traffic stop to make a significant drug bust.  I was disappointed, but I understood their reasoning.  Respect for the law is the only way to keep our society functioning.  But when the bad guys capture your law and order society and attempt to hide crimes behind their control of the system, don’t expect people to put up with it.  And that was undoubtedly the plan behind J6.  I would say that the government was lucky they got away with not having more violence applied to them.  If law enforcement seeks to abuse the law, they should expect the public to get angry and respond.  We don’t expect to respect the law and authority no matter what.  However, we give away that privilege to law enforcement on a conditional basis, and that contract is to keep their powers limited by the Constitution.  Suppose they violate that contract, as they did over the stolen election in 2020? In that case, people will take action to restore those limited powers to the theater of expectation.  And the government should be happy that more people didn’t lash out than they did.  I would do it differently, but I understood their reasoning, like those grand jury members I mentioned.  And that is certainly the case with the J6 prisoners.  They should have never spent one day in jail.  Who is going to give them back their lives?  President Trump was very correct in getting them out of jail.  Because if he didn’t, our legal system would be much less effective if we let such an injustice loose to maintain a polite society.  No, we must do what’s right, even if things get a little pushy.  The J6 prisoners had every right in the world and an expectation to do what they did.  The government broke the law and used it to hide major, massive crimes.  And they are lucky that they are still around to have a legal discussion.  It could have been much worse.

Rich People In Trump’s Administration is a Great Thing: Government serves us, not the other way around

I don’t see any problem with all the wealthy people now involved with Trump’s White House.  The anxiety people feel is misplaced because you must remember that the government has limited powers for a reason.  People in government do not rule us.  They are there to serve us.  So, from my perspective, if a bunch of rich people want to serve us through government in some way, then that can only be a good thing.  When I hear people worry about all these rich people who are suddenly eating out of Trump’s hand when they have been very hostile to him, it’s important to remember what the government is supposed to be doing.  I will never trust Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerbucks, Larry Ellison, or any of those guys.  Bill Gates should be in jail for his role in COVID-19 and the cover-up of where it all came from.  But I’m not surprised that Trump has sat down with him and listened to him.  And I’m certainly not surprised they suddenly want to be Trump’s friend.  Everyone must remember that this is why you want a government that represents you, and you want people like Trump, who have achieved a unique place in life, to represent us freely.  The government is purposefully limited so that wealth and power can’t be captured and used against people like a king might do.  So all this oligarchy talk is a lot to do about nothing.  The more, the better, from my perspective.  Wealth gives people freedom, which is part of the American system and the ultimate resume.  This is proof of a successful life, and when we put people in positions to do great things for us in government, there is no way to fake the credentials of a very public and wealthy person.  The proof is in their life. 

If Trump hadn’t been wealthy, he would not have been able to become president.  It took massive wealth to fight back against a system that was designed to abandon our Constitution and impose tyranny, just as has been the case since the beginning of time.  I know people’s suspicions about wealthy people only increase from a biblical perspective.  Only recently in the West has the idea of self-government been created and imposed through revolution.  Much of that revolution was caused by wealthy people who had acquired a perspective of freedom that comes best from wealth.  So, rich people had to be well connected to the powers of tyranny to have anything during the biblical era.  They couldn’t be trusted.  Yet it’s a much different reference point under the American system where wealth is gained through innovation and hard work.  Wealth in itself isn’t merit.  But it reflects a life of good decisions and social victory as a measure in a free market economy.  However, that measure is very new on the world stage, and many hostile agents worldwide want things to be as they were for centuries, where wealth gained meant to rule over the many.  And Democrats have been playing on those fears for a long time to gain power in that very traditional sense.  However, as is Elon Musk, Trump is different, and many people have attached themselves to Trump’s efforts.  I know from Vivek Ramaswamy because he’s from my area, and I’ve been able to talk to him about it, that as a young and wealthy person, he is attracted to helping people with the money he has gained.  So, he finds himself attached to the Trump administration in many ways.  And I think that’s what we are seeing a lot of now that Trump is the President.

Many of those same names had been attaching themselves to the old measures of wealth understanding.  People were suspicious of rich people because history gave them a lot of reason to be so.  The Bible reflects this fear dramatically.  Rich people like Jeff Bezos, who wanted to go out and use his money to buy a trophy wife and lots of cool toys to play with, wanted to prove that they weren’t bad people, even if, in some ways, they were terrible people living a life of sin and scandal.  However, they gained wealth under the free market system because they did something really well that made them a lot of money.  Like in Jeff Bezos’s situation, he made Amazon the best online retailer in the world, making my life infinitely better.  I would argue that the books sold under Amazon have been a tremendous part of the freedom movement in America.  Even though Amazon tried to become part of the censorship movement in some cases, the freedom of access to information through Amazon has given voice to free market ideas, ultimately leading to President Trump’s election.  Even if Jeff Bezos bought The Washington Post as a blog to destroy Trump essentially, the total sum of all the work made people more accessible to consider uniquely American ideas about wealth representation in government.  In the market of ideas, Trump was picked by the public regardless of what the static order had to say about it.  And Bezos’ actions speak louder than his words because his words were shaped by a kind of deceit formed by a biblical view of the world where he aligned himself with Democrat politics to prove that he wasn’t just another rich guy who wanted to rule the world.  That he was with the people as a social order defined it then.

Rich people have a freedom that we all would like to have, and it is part of the fantasy of the American style of government to provide the best and brightest to the world of merit.  When Biden warns of a Trump administration of oligarchs, that comes from a person who would otherwise be poor if he did not sell his offices to enrich his family, as many people have done in government for a long time, it’s been a running joke in politics.  However, that kind of wealth is not the same kind that someone like Trump has produced.  They might all be rich, but their money came from different places.  Trump didn’t get rich by cozying up to the powerful.  He became rich and powerful by doing a good job.  And we love America because its economic system gives us a chance at just such a life.  So we want to support those who do make it and then decide to use the wealth and freedom they have gained to help others have a shot at the same.  Or at least make life better for people in any way possible.  And that’s what I see happening around Trump.  These aren’t rich people as we traditionally and biblically know them.  These people have had the pretense of wealth socially stripped away and are now free to use that wealth to do extraordinary things with it.  And Trump is giving them access to do just that.   Suspicion of them is natural.  And they are not suddenly good people just because they have money.  But part of what makes America great is that wealth is a scoreboard of success and that it’s always a good thing to have successful people making decisions that can make a country better and improve the world’s condition.  Trump is making that happen for the first time in history, which is ultimately a very good thing for everyone.

Teachers like Lakota’s David Ehrlich: The reason President Trump is getting rid of the Department of Education

I wouldn’t have known it unless a lot of people told me about it, but apparently, on Darbi Boddy’s Facebook page, there is some crazy teacher named David Ehrlich who thinks that I am some person named Lisa Winner and has been very mean to that person because they believe they are me.  Darbi and I have been catching up a bit. She’s still hard at work bringing awareness to the many problems of public education, but as a Lakota School Board member, she still stirs up a lot of controversy from the local government school lunatics, and this topic came up.  I told her that I haven’t been too concerned over public education issues because what I have been talking about for a couple of decades now is about to happen; Trump is about to eliminate the Department of Education and specifically send everything back to the states.  And that all public schools run by these radical left teacher unions were going to be in for a big surprise.  So I wasn’t doing much of anything on the education front until that happened.  And the teachers know something is brewing because they have been getting very aggressive as the bubbles that they live in are getting popped everywhere.  And indeed, this troubled David Ehrlich is one of the bad ones.  They always appear friendly at parent-teacher conferences, but few know what’s really going on with these people, which is common to my experience with them.  Years ago, David Ehrlich, as a Lakota teacher, was disciplined for having improper relationships with students.  And he’s still around wanting to teach kids, which is a very good example of everything that’s wrong with government schools.  They hire the wrong people to have way too much power over our children, and the system protects them from public judgment, which is why they hated Darbi Boddy so much because, as a school board member, she worked hard to expose these problems, not to cover them up.  They hated her for it, and the only means they had to change that condition was to intimidate and harass people in the reform movement so that they could continue to be diabolical menaces to our future children.  Reading David Ehrlich’s comments about me reminded me of something Pete Hegseth had said about public education, as he was on my mind because of his swearing-in to the Trump administration. 

I can assure everyone and all the intelligence agencies in the world that I can confirm it; I have never, under any condition, ever sent a message on Facebook, never under my account or some fake one.  And I would certainly never pretend to be someone like Lisa Winner.  If I say something to somebody, I tell them directly, and I ensure they always know it comes from me.  I don’t use Facebook; I hate it.  I only have a deactivated account that I recently reactivated for a gun competition group I’m in that seems to only know how to use Facebook as a group of older adults.  So, they sometimes want to send me pictures and emails through Facebook.  Other than that, I never interact with it because I hate Mark Zuckerberg and will not use the diabolical Facebook under any conditions.  I would not know anything going on with Darbi’s Facebook page because I never log in to view anything that people are saying there.   But I liked Ehrlich’s comments about me because they let me know that what I wanted to do was working.  Like everyone who knows me, I have a management philosophy that I like to apply to my enemies: dealing with them as a ghost.  I want them to think about me all the time as the first thing they think about when they wake up and the last thing they think about when they go to bed.  And I want them to dream about me in the form of nightmares, which is the case with this David Ehrlich teacher. 

If I dealt directly with all the people who hate me, I would have time for nothing else, so being a ghost is the best method of dealing with them.  Ghosts can fly through walls and travel up and down in a building through locked doors; there is nowhere a ghost can’t go.  They can be everywhere and anywhere simultaneously, so that is a general strategy for me, and it is my goal to have these people feel so strongly about me while I am doing many other things.  I am happy to have people like that Lakota teacher hate me with such insanity, so when the large group of people who support Darbi Boddy so tenaciously let me know about David Ehrlich and others like him, it made me smile.  But it also confirmed the heart of the problem, and many people who are now mainstreamers are catching up to it, like Pete Hegseth, a television host on Fox News and now Secretary of Defense of the United States under President Trump, the new mainstream.  As Pete said recently, I have said for years, get your kids out of those dangerous government schools because people like this David Ehrlich teacher run them.  He’s just one of many thousands, and most think similarly.  They are dangerous people who want access to your children, and if you love your kids, you’ll do what you have to do to get them away from that vast danger. 

Public education has been a terrible thing and has ruined the lives of so many people.  Like Pete said, if you can create an option for your children, do it.  Sell the boat.  Sell the summer home in Florida.  Do whatever you have to do to provide for your children an option.  But don’t send them to public schools to be victims to diabolical Marxists with radical leftist ideologies so they can hide their corrupt mindsets behind polite society.  Once you peel away the kind of people attracted to public education, you often get someone like this: David Ehrlich, who “failed to observe and maintain appropriate student-teacher boundaries and engaged in behavior in the classroom that caused students to become uncomfortable.”  And that’s what everyone admitted to with a signed confession.  It’s the same pattern in public education everywhere, from superintendents, administrators, and teachers at all levels.  The more they think like Karl Marx, the more they want to hide all their other problems behind the authority of a government school position, which they believe shields them from public scrutiny, and they live their lives with unearned merit. And that’s precisely why Trump is getting rid of the Department of Education, and school choice will be the new standard.  The money is going to go to the students, not the zip code, forcing schools to compete for enrollment instead of keeping parasites like David Ehrlich on the taxpayer-funded payroll to feed off innocent children hiding behind the system that protects their troubles to keep the tax money flowing to their corrupt labor unions.  And it all has to happen because the system itself produces people dangerous to children and does nothing to make them better as people for the world of tomorrow.  So, as the Trump administration does its business that we elected him to do, don’t feel sorry for people like this Lakota teacher.  They were never the kind of people who should be anywhere near children.  And they deserve what’s about to happen.

The Armour of God: Being the arbriter of divine justice

I understood Melania Trump’s outfit for the Inauguration.  Retribution comes to mind, and appropriately so.  Nobody should expect to get away with what they did to the Trumps under any circumstances.  And being a person who expresses herself through fashion, I understood Melania’s message clearly.  She’s the same age as my wife, so culturally, we all share the same references, and the first thing that came to my mind was the Clint Eastwood film, High Plains Drifter.  Melania says what she needs to tell through fashion, and she was holding the Bibles for Trump at his swearing-in; her look was undoubtedly expressive.  It was stylish and, for most people, very stunning. Indeed, she did not take the safe road.  However, after I saw Trump’s speech to Davos, I knew precisely what they were doing, and it was undoubtedly the appropriate message. 

Now, what have I been telling you all along?

You can tell that, as a couple, they have talked about this moment and what they would do if they had the opportunity to return to the White House.  And by the way that Trump spoke to the very people who had plotted his destruction, the people I call the Desecrators of Davos, Trump knew what he needed to do.  With her big wide-brimmed hat, Melania Trump might have been the visual expression of President Trump himself.  But President Trump personally delivered the much-deserved rebuke right in front of their faces to some of the most evil people on planet Earth.  He was doing on a large scale what the movie High Plains Drifter did in a fictional sense to a much smaller town called Lago, set in the old west and the efforts of western expansion that explored the challenges psychologically of a people trying to settle in a remote part of the world while trying to manage the temptations of a lack of law and order.

In the movie, a wonderfully psychological thriller that was one of the early directing efforts by Clint Eastwood, which he also starred in, a stranger rides into town, and he appears to have very superior gunfighting skills, for which the city wants to hire him to protect them from three bandits that are about to be released from jail.  The three criminals want revenge for what the town did to them.  They hired them to kill Marshal Duncan over mining rights to the city, and in the process, the entire town was a little bit guilty of the murder.  Once the killers were put in jail for the crime, they swore revenge upon release, which is why the town now was seeking to kill the killers by hiring the strange gunman, Clint Eastwood.  It’s a very good movie and certainly one of my favorites.  I don’t mind saying that I loved the film so much that it inspired the contents of my book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, because, in both cases, the contents are about much more than what is shown at face value.  I talk about being a ghost in my book and life because of the lessons I learned from that great movie, High Plains Drifter.  You can often do much more in the world as a ghost than as a flesh and blood, earthly figure.  The town is paralyzed with fear and guilt by all they have done to the point where they will do anything the Stranger says.  Anything.  And when I saw Trump talking to the Davos crowd, it was the same thing as Clint Eastwood showed in that movie, where the entire town served him, hoping to erase their guilt for past crimes by committing all new ones and appeasing a power they recognize as being superior to them. 

Of course, the Stranger punishes everyone in town who has revenge coming.  And we find out at the end that the Stranger all along looks to have been the ghost of Marshal Duncan.  He knew what he was doing because he was the person that they had all killed.  And he came back to life to get revenge on them all.  And I know that look on Trump’s face, the confidence that comes from surviving death and getting another chance to get revenge on the people who hurt you.  I try not to make all these stories about me, but I use my personal experience to give a foundation to any testimony.  And I know what it feels like to survive circumstances where you were almost killed but are spared by the Armour of God to bring to the world revenge in the way that God understands it.  It is a very satisfying feeling when you realize that God puts his hand on you to be his instrument of retribution.  And, after the assassination attempts against Trump right before the election, you can tell he’s feeling it.  I have walked away from major, major, very devastating car crashes at high speeds, over 100 miles an hour, and slept like a baby that was unharmed just a few hours later except for a few bumps and bruises.  I have been shot at lots of times.  I have had many plots for my demise fail spectacularly by people who are very good at those kinds of things, and I was able to make complete fools of them over and over again.  It was amazing that Trump’s assassin missed his head by just millimeters.  Such a close call certainly gets your attention and shows divine intervention.  But I can count more than 50 times I have experienced such a rare occurrence, which is statistically impossible once, let alone that much.  I don’t think about it much daily, but watching Trump at Davos reminded me of all those times, and statistically speaking, it’s far more than luck at work.  That’s why I talk about the Book of Ephesians so much; it is the best literature in the world at describing the power and need for the Armour of God.  It’s a very real thing for a few select people fortunate enough to experience it.  But to feel it, you essentially have to face death and survive.  And once you realize that the hand of God is on you, you fear nothing.

In High Plains Drifter, it isn’t revealed until the end of the movie that the Stranger is the ghost of Marshal Duncan, which then explains why he knew so much about the characters he was torturing throughout the movie, using the guilt of their crimes as a weapon to destroy them personally.  It also explains why the Stranger had no fear of death because he had already gone through that ordeal and was resurrected by the hand of God to enact revenge on the wicked.  It’s a wonderful story, and retribution is a morality of its own.  Trump, dealing with the most sinful people on planet Earth all collected together, did precisely what he needed to do.  And all they could do was sit there and take it.  Trump, with the Armour of God on him, knew what they had all done, and he was intent on making them all choke on their guilt.  This is precisely what happened at Davos at the end of his speech.  They clapped like fools toward their own demise.  And Trump earned the right to do it because they tried to kill him many times over.  He survived to come back to the White House and give retribution to all those worldwide who were in on the many crimes against him.  Whether it’s a little fictional town called Lago from High Plains Drifter or the entire global community of politicians and business leaders plotting to rule over us all, retribution was the theme.  And a well-deserved theme defined best by Melania Trump’s fantastic attire at the Inauguration.  A retribution well deserved by an executor of justice for which Trump became the Hell-hound from the grave to bring justice to those who deserve severe punishment for the crimes they committed against all humanity.

A Shadowman, a Knife and a Dead Rabbit: The politics of the spirit world

The thing I spend the most time thinking about is the politics of the spirit world.  The political motivations of demons, kami, and jinn depend on what culture we’re dealing with worldwide, whether in the Orient, the Near East, or the West.  Every culture has a reference to such creatures, and I’d say that science is finally starting to root them out of mythology and to understand them and their residence in quantum physics.  Like all living creatures, they have a political system that is alluded to in the Bible, the Quaran, and almost every religious document ever known.  In Jewish tradition, these are the Elohim, the Divine Council of God, who have always been there.  They work and plot against God, and our lives are often the battlefield of their designs and manipulations.  I think about the role that they play in our lives and what their politics are as much as I do think about Republicans and Democrats in America and sovereign nations around the world fighting it out against communists.  So when Aaron Rogers gives interviews about a shadow man who looms in the distance wherever he goes, holding a knife and a dead rabbit, I don’t think he’s crazy.  This has been a problem for him since he started going to ayahuasca sessions in Peru and started what many people believe has ruined him as a professional football player and put him in an over-the-rainbow status of the loony asylum.  But I don’t think he’s crazy at all.  I’ve seen plenty of shadow people like Aaron Rogers has seen, and I don’t do drugs in the least.  But when Aaron Rogers started taking ayahuasca from the shamans in Peru, seeking meaning in his life like so many do these days, he trained his mind to see things that were always there.  Only now is he seeing it in a way that many did in the Bible and starting a relationship with the political order of scandalous demons who are always lurking just beyond our perceived reality.

When I hear Aaron Rogers tell the story, it’s obvious to me what happened.  You might take the same route to work every day and not see a Cybertruck that parks somewhere along your standard drive.  But one day, you start thinking about buying one because you saw an advertisement or interacted with one in some way that caused you to start thinking about them, and suddenly, on that same route to work, you start seeing that one parked in that parking lot.  It was always there, but your mind switched to seeing more than your eyes were trained to see under normal conditions.  People who take ayahuasca, I think, aren’t hypercharging their brains with psychedelics and inspiring their imaginations to see illusions.  But they see more of what is always there, which looms in quantum physics.  We see lives that are always there but exist outside our dimensional reality. Interestingly, when the world’s noise was less, people had much more open relationships with the spirit world than they do now.  The Bible is filled with such experiences, as are most religious texts.  I have witnessed on a mass scale how the Japanese honor the kami of the spirit world on almost every street corner in even their most cosmopolitan cities.  Everywhere are shrines to the spirit world, hoping to appease their help and avoid harm from their strange political order, which looms through our lives in various ways.

I think one of the most significant pieces of literature that pulls mback the veil to this kind of activity is the excellent book of the Apocrypha, a book I think clearly should have been part of the general body of work that is the Bible, the story, the Testament of Solomon, as in King Solomon, son of David, part of the line of Abraham and a hand-picked king for God to lead his people in the hostile promised land where there was a battle between Baal, Moloch and the Hebrew God Yahweh.  Many times, I’ve told the story about my obsession with King Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem and why they built it there.  There is a lot to think about regarding that Temple and its place in the narrative of the Bible.  The story goes that King Solomon had his temple built by jinn, the demonic spirits that are so openly talked about in the Quran, the same thing we call demons in Western culture, and essentially the same characters that you find in the streets of Japan in the kami.  Solomon is given a ring that controls the demons and makes them do what he needs them to do.  Otherwise, they are always working a kind of mischief quite pronounced in their political order, which seems to always run at the cross purposes of our lives.  They use us for their political games that have an inspiration beyond our standard line of sight.  So Solomon uses this magic ring to force the demons to his will, and they build the Temple of Solomon, today’s most contentious piece of real estate on planet Earth.  Solomon blew it when he wanted to sleep with one of his many thousands of wives, and she demanded that before he touched her, he sacrifice five grasshoppers to her god Moloch.  And for that, God got mad, split up the kingdom between Solomon’s sons, and the destruction of Israel started for this original sin. 

I’ve been to many of the great cathedrals of Europe, especially the one in Canterbury.  I have had an obsession with the Canterbury Tales most of my life and a deep longing to live in the world of James Joyce’s Finnegan’s Wake.  In all these places, I see the deep fear of what happened to the human race, which was what essentially happened to King Solomon.  There is a deep desire to hope that Jesus can save all humanity from this aggressive political order.  The characters are very terrifying and are in every culture of the world, but like the Tower of Babel story, everyone has had their impressions changed enough that nobody cooperates.  But why?  How did we arrive in those conditions?  When you study how Democrats have played the Saul Alinsky game against Republicans for many years, you begin to understand.  They learned their tricks from the demons of the spirit world and used their strategies in our conscious reality.  And like Trump is now doing what King Solomon failed to do to the world, the aggressors are always there.  And they have political motivations that look mysterious to us because we don’t usually pay them much attention.  But in cases like Aaron Rogers, who punched hyper-reality into his brain with ayahuasca on occasions now from the shaman in Peru with that strange brew common there, you sometimes see these characters from Solomon’s stories and his downfall, chasing you around with a knife and a dead rabbit.  They are not there for our benefit but to use us for a massive overthrow of the world as they know it, and we are learning about, in quantum mechanics and a linear timeline that is all at once, ever-present.  I don’t think Aaron Rogers is crazy.  He is waking up to a reality incompatible with the perspective of a human life.  However, a reality that we all know and fear looms outside our observable reality and is vulnerable to motivations only they understand in their politics of the spirit world.  So if you happen to see a shadowy man holding a knife and a dead rabbit chasing you around, don’t be surprised. 

I understand Melania’s hat. She knows………it’s time to turn the tables

The Reality Beyond the Blue Pill: It costs a lot to live a red pill life

I have had to explain many things this year because the questions keep coming.  I have a sales gear where I can go around a room and talk to people.  But anything beyond the first layer of conversation I usually stay away from because it essentially comes down to a blue pill versus red pill kind of thing, and there is a cost to the latter.  In the movie The Matrix, which I have referred to a few times over the last couple of decades, I think they best explained the difference between a blue pill life and a red pill.  For the blue, it’s all about the feeling of connectedness with other people that blue pillers strive for.  A sense of being plugged into the world around you comes with a nurturing feeling.  Knowing what Jake down the road is doing with his new lawn mower comes with a sense of belonging, and most people in the world want and need that feeling.  In the movie, we call those people blue pillers.  But if you want to see what’s really happening, you take the red pill.  And it’s then that you realize that all humanity is a giant computer program and that the forces that want to control you use this kind of matrix to harvest your mind and thoughts and that the roots of all tyranny come from this exchange.  For most people, they don’t want to know.  They enjoy being plugged in and could care less about actual reality because the illusion makes them happy.  But then you have the red pillers always looking for the truth.  And once they know the truth, they can never go back to the blue pill life.  One interesting thing about President Trump, which is evident after his second inauguration, is that he genuinely likes people.  He is a very social creature, and you would have to be for a job like that.  There’s a lot about Trump that I personally understand.  But for me, anything beyond the surface of talking with people gets very painful, very fast. 

Usually, in a crowd, I stay in the back of the room and just let people talk because there is no way to turn off the firehose once I start talking.  That is another reason I write these articles every day.  I care enough about people to give them whatever truth from my perspective they can handle and at whatever rate they choose.  But I go cold quickly to engage in a conversation about the details of human interaction.  I’m not interested in how to make a brisket or what social compliance score someone’s kid has managed to gather toward social acceptance because, as far as I’m concerned, those things are all part of a grand illusion connected to living life.  But I’m only interested in what real life is about beyond that connection.  And in that way, the reality is different for people depending on whether they are blue pillers or red pillers.  If you take the red pill, you can see a lot of stuff behind the scenes.  You will have great insight into the truth of reality.  But the cost is that you can’t often share it with people.  When people would rather talk about the illusion, such as the cost of a new lawn mower and who just bought one, or where little Suzy is going to attend college after their parents saved their money for more than 15 years to send her there, there isn’t any room for discussions about the matrix they are all plugged into which prevents them from understanding the forces that are working against them. 

Due to the end of the year and all the social engagements that come with Christmas, New Year’s, and Inauguration parties, I was often asked what kind of music I like to listen to.  The discussion usually spawned from classic rock examples, and people noticed my indifferent face.  They’d ask me, “who’s your favorite band?”  And then there is an awkward pause.  “I don’t like anybody.  I don’t listen to music.”  At least not in the way that they do; I see music as a purely blue pill experience.  There is a reason that so many songwriters are druggies and seem to be inspired by some hidden hand felt only through intoxication.  And that the political order of a massive civilization of ultra-terrestrials that exist outside of our four-dimensional reality feeds off our sentiments and passions in ways nobody seems to understand and that the way they harvest off our emotions is through popular engagements like music, where people feel compelled to dance to a catchy beat.  That’s when the eyes go blank, and everyone looks at you disdainfully because they don’t want their blue-pill reality shattered.  The correct answer would have been, “I like Led Zepplin or Stevie Ray Vaughan.”  I can never give an answer like that.  I put up the most recent viewership to my blog site, which is up over 80 million these days.  I get a lot of emails for which I only have time to read or answer less than 1% daily.  But people usually take a peek, or they follow diligently.  But they don’t have much to say in response because it comes down to a red pill thing, and it’s not for everybody. 

I wouldn’t trade away a red pill life for anything.  The insight you can have from that perspective is extremely valuable.  But to have it, you do have to disconnect from the illusions that we all are born under.  I think of it best from the Book of Ephesians in the Bible.  It is one of my favorite parts of the Bible because it was written by people who were functioning from the red pill life and trying to display it for the blue pillers.  The Matrix movie puts it successfully into crayon for everyone, which is artistically functional.  I know a lot of people these days are starting to want to peek behind the curtain into the psychedelics of the ayahuasca experience.  The football star Aaron Rogers has been going to South America during the off-season to speak to the plant teachers and give people the firehose of reality just lurking outside our reach, which makes him sound pretty crazy.  People naturally think he’s fallen off his rocker.  And people, through intoxication, get a sense of that reality just beyond our site.  And I would say it’s very dangerous, but if you peel back the layers just a bit, most people agree that something mysterious is beyond their reach, which is terrifying.  To hide from it, we have developed reality, which essentially is being plugged into the blue pill life.  Sports scores, music, food, the consumables of culture.  And it provides insulation from an actual reality.  But I can’t do it; those lives just aren’t compatible.  And there is too much that is valuable in the truth of reality.  But most people don’t want to know about it, or they can’t afford to learn.  They might be interested in small doses.  But they blank out if there is anything more than they can handle.  So, there isn’t much to say under those conditions.  And that’s why I usually don’t have much to say when the content is a blue-pill conversation.  Once you peer at reality for which it is, which also the Dune books do a good job of considering, the world of the Bene Gesserit order, who built a kind of Matrix existence to rule all humanity while the actual reality existed outside their manipulations.  There is a cost to seeing beyond that order.  And I wouldn’t trade it away for anything.  But the price is that most of the time, you have to sit in the back of the room and keep it to yourself because to speak too much only shatters the illusion people want to live with, and they get very mad when that happens unless they are incredibly ready for the content.  So, there isn’t much to say until their minds are correct, which doesn’t happen too often.

A Purple Tie: The Miracle of Stargate

You might have noticed that Trump is wearing a purple tie these days, which is quite important.  At the end of his first term, what was happening now was about to happen.  Democrats wanted to come into this new MAGA Republican Party, but it was an election year, and they weren’t quite ready to announce their intentions.  And in a panic, the globalists unleashed COVID-19 to destroy the American economy and destroy any prospect of Trump returning to the White House.  But you have to know the fight you are fighting, and most people have no idea what is going on.  And they thought Trump was gone forever after 2021, never to return.  But if you watched Trump’s press conference with Larry Ellison of Oracle, SoftBank, and OpenAI announcing Stargate, you watched something extraordinary.  It was one of the first things that Trump did on his second day in office, hinted at by a previous discussion with Masayoshi Son, which involved a possible donation of 100 billion dollars into the effort.  Trump famously challenged him to make it 200 billion.  The deal ended up being 500 billion and is on its way to essentially becoming a multi-trillion-dollar enterprise that will be uniquely American.  So what does that mean to you, you might ask.  Well, it’s essentially a cure for cancer, where AI will analyze the blood in your body and identify how to teach your immune system how to kill off the cancer cells through gene editing.  It’s one of many such announcements that are coming because Trump is now back in the White House, and many of these big ideas have been sidelined for many years, waiting for the proper political climate to return.  Which some thought would never happen.  And this is leaving people to wonder why all these wealthy people suddenly want to be associated with the Trump MAGA movement, even former enemies like Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Tim Cook. 

I personally love rich people.  I know a lot of them, most of the people I do know are very wealthy, and its always been that way, even when I was very young.  Not growing up, but in the kind of people I am most comfortable to be around.  And those relationships have given me a unique perspective that I see Trump clearly understands for himself.  Once you crawl all over all the bodies in the world to win at something, and money is the reward for having the highest score, there is a certain kind of freedom you gain that is uniquely American.  And even though many of these wealthy people are suddenly attached to the Trump White House in undeniable ways, I am pretty comfortable with it for reasons that should be obvious.  But we have a society where Marxism has been taught to people from a very early age.  They may have an instinct against what they are told, but they don’t understand how to manage what they are taught and how they feel.  Democrats are in a panic because they have held together their entire political party with victimization politics.  But when the focus changes to performance and freedom, the whole world for the radical Marxists fades into dust.  Many of these rich people, to maintain the victimization cycle, supported Democrat ideas.  However, the contrasts between Trump the first time and then Biden were enough to frustrate them to no end, which is what Larry Ellison touched on when the announcement for Stargate was announced—a genuinely fantastic press conference. 

I would say I am wealthy in different ways than it is typically measured.  I appreciate all the meals and get-togethers that sometimes cost tens of thousands of dollars, where people who all want the same things can talk and express their ideas.  I am happy that things I have to say are so well thought out that when the checks come to the table for many thousands of dollars, somebody is always grabbing it before I do and pay.  I appreciate it no matter how much money people have.  Because I see it for what it is, I see the same things on the faces of Elon Musk, Larry Ellison, and even Jeff Bezos.  I won’t ever forgive Bill Gates for what he did with Covid.  But you can see something amazing happen that I thought should have occurred at the end of the 19th century; America should have come to the defense of its rich people and not turned the guns of the mob against them.  I want to see more rich people in America because wealth gives people freedom.  I like helping people become wealthy, and I want to do it over and over again because I feel it gives people personal freedom they would never have otherwise.  And we see what Trump has done with it.  He would have been crushed over the last four years if he wasn’t personally wealthy.  And because he isn’t worried about buying groceries, he can think about bigger and better things, which is why he’s a great president.  He has shown some of these other wealthy people how they can use their money to do great things, which is why I pointed out that most of the time, people offer to pay for costly things that I am involved in.  It’s not to buy off an idea but to show respect for the circumstances.  When rich people have tools, they usually want to use them for good. 

You have to understand that most of what we know about rich people was provided to us through left-leaning creative types seduced by Marxism at an early age, and this goes back to Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show.  The kids of Marx toured the United States, selling communism even to Buffalo Bill, so it ended up in our entertainment culture from television, radio, movies, and books from the beginning.  However, they were wrong about what made people wealthy and what it meant to produce such people in the American capitalist system.  We should want to make as many rich people as we can.  This so-called “middle class” was always intended to hold people back and to serve an aristocracy of politics who would steal from the rich and give to the poor.  But they needed poor people to exploit for the excuse, so they invented a “middle class.”  But people want a chance to be wealthy and independent and to have the absolute freedom that only money can provide them.  When given the opportunity, such as in the case of Vivek Ramaswamy or even J.D. Vance, they want to turn their good fortunes into a benefit that others can share.  I have seen it many times personally, and America is the only place in the world with a political system allowing anybody to have a similar chance.  And that is what I see most emerging from Trump’s second term.  And the reason for the purple tie.  Forget about red and blue; let’s think about being Americans.  That doesn’t mean that, as conservatives, we give some of that away to accommodate people who lean to the left.  But it means that if they want to work with us to cure cancer, travel to Mars, or start an entirely new industry, then let’s do it.  Trump is the path to take, and I think it’s terrific.  It’s so wonderful that Democrats will never be the same again.  Remember when I said that I could see a day when the Democrat party was destroyed?  Well, we’re there.

Trump is Back: When they can’t kill you, everyone wants to be your friend

It’s a statement I always make and live by: if people aren’t trying to kill you, you aren’t doing a good enough job.  The goal in life isn’t to make friends with everyone; they should want rather to kill you instead, and when they fail, as we are seeing with Trump, then they’ll want to be your friend.  And when everyone is wondering where the resistance is to Trump this time, in 2025 as opposed to 2017 at this same time of year, at the Inauguration for another four years as president, my old gunfighter analysis of the bar and the room certainly applies.  And I know that Trump doesn’t want to send the wrong signal and let the bad guys out there know he had to take measures to protect himself.  Even as risky as I am, I would never advise someone like Trump to give a speech from the steps of the Capitol, where for miles around there are thousands of places within a mile or so that could take a shot at him out in the open or for a drone to lock on his position and do its menace.  It’s always a good idea to move locations and schedule times when you have a lot of bad guys out there who want to kill you; it is just as good practice. 

Just because they want to do something doesn’t mean you let them do it.  After the last eight years, they have thrown everything they could at the President, and Trump is still doing what I have wanted to see for many years now: return to the White House.  His enemies were reduced to a whimper, certainly not a roar like last time.  This time was very different, and Trump played it all right.  When you conquer your enemies, keep them close and let them serve you, as was the obvious case with Jeff Bezos, Snoop Dogg, and Mark Zuckerberg, along with many others who made sure they were making friends with this new power, rather than fighting against it, as they had in the past. 

But even with all that said, moving the Inauguration into the Capitol Rotunda was brilliant because of the bitter cold.  As if Trump needed a reason to say it, the cold weather was setting up a no-win situation for the crowd that traveled all over the country to share in the Inauguration experience.  Having a million people in the mall would look great for the cameras, but there are always people who would freeze, even if the percentage was less than 1%.  Once everyone starts using porta potties outside in temperatures below zero, you will have big problems, and it was better to avoid all those for obvious reasons.  The crowd would either be huge, but you would lose some people in the cold, or it would be smaller than usual because of the cold, and Trump would be criticized for a smaller crowd.  When you take all that and consider that there are people from all over the world who do want to kill Trump so he doesn’t change things in a way they can’t deal with, it was best just to move everything inside.  All that matters is that Trump gets sworn in, and we start to fix the mess that a lot of flawed characters put forward to destroy our country.  Trump’s swearing-in makes everything official and corrects a course that should have never been disrupted in the first place. 

But let’s answer the question that everyone who was an enemy is now asking: where is the resistance to Trump?  Well, I said all this initially, the first time around in January of 2021, when Trump won clearly and decisively, and we witnessed a coup in America, but a lot of evil people who stole the election, sent Trump packing, then inserted Joe Biden into the office.  And they never let him make the decisions. Instead, the White House was run by a globalist committee, and a lot of bad stuff was started, like canceling the Keystone Pipeline, undoing all the patriotic events Trump had planned, disgracing our offices with transgender radicals, Marxist kingpins, and an energy policy that robbed money right out of our wallets. 

I understand Melania. And yes, she has great taste in fashion. She gets it.

It was a war against us all by a few very manipulative soothsayers who were committed to globalism and a China-first policy.  And it was raw and malicious.  They never dreamed there would be a day that Trump would return to the White House with the full support of a country that came together for the effort.  But here we are.  I said it all along and am very proud to see it all come together exactly as I said.  Yes, I was invited to several VIP events in Washington, D.C.  I did other events but decided not to go to Washington because I didn’t think I’d get close to Trump this time.  It’s much more complicated than it used to be.  And I’m not the second fiddle type.  So, knowing it was going to be so cold, I stayed regional so I could enjoy all the festivities from relative comfort because I had been waiting for this for a long time.  I never just liked to be a face in the crowd; that is essentially what traveling to Washington, D.C., would have been like. 

I have several friends who did go, and they had a good time.  But when it comes to something like this, which is truly historic, I like to see everything, and watching it on television was the best way to see the details.  And I couldn’t get enough of it.  I watched the coverage all weekend, especially on Monday, without taking my eyes away, except to shake hands with people I barely recognized because I enjoyed the Inauguration so much, every incredible detail.  After Biden was put in place in 2021 with COVID lockdowns imposed everywhere, I was so angry that I packed up my wife and my RV, and we headed out into the desert to write a book and get my mind right.  I stayed out there for weeks and returned with a fresh perspective on how to fight this battle.  And what happened at the inauguration was a dream come true.  And it was gratifying to see all of Trump’s enemies licking his shoes.  That’s what real power is, the kind of power that makes people want to kill you.  And when they fail, and only when they fail, do they want to be your friend.  But Trump isn’t a sucker.  He knows this game, and the bad guys won’t sucker him.  Instead, we will see what we deserve for sticking with Trump through tough times.  We earned the good things that are coming because we had the guts to vote for it.  But this time, we didn’t let them steal it from us as we had done in the previous election.  And the world should be concerned.  They know what they did, and now they are caught, and the shoe is on the other foot.  And justice is coming as it always should have.

Worth a celebration!

SpaceX Does it Again: Crawling out from under Cost-Plus restrictions

For perspective, you can go back through all my writing, millions and millions of words back to 2013 when I wrote an article from Florida about the essential end of the Space Shuttle program and that Obama’s vision for NASA was to partner with Russian cosmonauts for any future space missions.  I was very outraged at the policy, and if I never liked Obama for anything, it was his anti-growth attitude to suppress American exceptionalism as it often presents itself in space travel, that I hated the most.  We were going backward under Obama and Biden, and the only growth we have seen in over two decades came from the four years we had from Trump the first time.  So, I have been very excited about watching the civilian infrastructure for space develop, and anywhere I can help it, I certainly do.  So if I’m more excited these days and very enthusiastic for every day, as many people pointed out to me at a Jags get-together ahead of the inauguration of Trump, I’m sure eventually they’ll understand.  I don’t think people realize what a miracle the week of January 13th was in 2025.  Yes, SpaceX did it again; they landed their Superheavy booster rocket back on the pad it launched from after carrying another Starship into space.  They lost the ship due to a pressure problem that couldn’t gas out fast enough on a new second-generation Starship, and it ruptured the hull, causing the whole thing to break up in the atmosphere.   That was unfortunate but very correctable.  The real trick was repeating the landing of the booster rocket to show that the first time wasn’t an accident.  Watching that rocket capture chopsticks system work now repeatably was a fantastic thing to witness, and it takes us a long way from my complaints about when Obama ended the Space Shuttle program over a decade ago.

But that wasn’t all; just a few hours before SpaceX launched, Blue Origin put their own rocket into space, but this one was carrying a lunar lander from Firefly, a Texas-based company, that was returning to the moon.  Another personal problem I have is with NASA and governments around the world.  I don’t care what anybody found when we went to the moon the first time.  There was no excuse not to have a Hilton there by now so I could vacation on the moon with my family.  This raw, primitive embrace of backward thinking that came to us from both political parties has infuriated me to no end.  When people ask me why I have had my war against public education, it starts with this lack of preparation as a culture to advance people into space.  We should have been doing this since the original moon missions, and as I was growing up, it looked good.  But the Department of Education under Jimmy Carter and the socialist politics that held our society down through labor unions and liberal politics stopped that advancement and I have never been good with it.   If we don’t have a culture pushing for adventures into space, we are deliberately trying to suppress the ambitions of the human race in a very unhealthy way.  So, for me, watching all this space activity just a few days before President Trump’s return to the White House was fantastic and deserved as a subject of massive optimism.  For a culture to produce two space launches like Blue Origin and SpaceX produced, it would have taken NASA a decade to do one of them.  Let alone two significant ones.  We are dealing with good times, finally.

The amount of capacity and bandwidth is the real challenge, and that’s what is changing, which I’ll be pointing out often because I am pretty sure people don’t know what to think of these displays of monumental ambition.  It takes thousands of manhours and intelligence calculations to produce one rocket into space, especially when discussing complicated payloads.  But here we have a culture that did it twice in the same week. Additionally, there are several Falcon rockets that are taking constant payload into space, whether people or satellites for the Starlink system, we have come a long way from the Obama administration sending Americans into space through partnerships with Russia.  As soon as SpaceX realized that they had lost their Starship, they were already planning to pull another out of their manufacturing facility, where several others were waiting, and they were planning another launch next month.  SpaceX expects to launch at least 20 more times in 2025 to develop Starship further.  What they learned from this recent one, even though it burned up in the atmosphere, was extremely valuable compared to the traditional hindrances of a cost-plus company.  The way SpaceX is attacking the problem is the definition of how these things will be done in the future, and it embodies a whole new view of manufacturing that is escaping the clutches of global socialists like Obama, who were deliberately trying to hold back humanity.   It’s one of those situations in which small-minded people have been trying to destroy society to rule over the ashes.  And these new manufacturing methods being developed at SpaceX are a rebellion against that sentiment.  And it’s precisely what space needs for humans to colonize the stars.  Other companies are now moving in that same direction regarding the “rate of resolution.”

Cost-plus companies have been hijacked by all kinds of horrible forces that have held back the aerospace industry since the first moon landing.  When parasitic characters realized they could stall contracts and make money off ignorant governments for more congressional money to be thrown at the trolls to build something, trouble was clearly on the horizon.  That’s why space had to move into civilian care because there was looting politics in government control that held us back with people like Obama.  A setback like Starship had at SpaceX this week would have stopped advancement at a typical cost-plus company for a decade in the past.  Instead, Elon Musk said immediately that the plan was to roll out another Starship and get ready for a second try next month.  The only thing that will hold them back is the speed of government, which will increase dramatically once Trump is back in office.  There is a lot to be very excited about, and I am.  It’s not just about going to space that is exciting; it is about watching the human race crawl out from under a very oppressive political climate and an education system that has sought to cripple us purposely.  Not to inspire us to grow.  And due to all that, we see that the human race is doing big things again, and the American culture, which has produced the world’s wealthiest people, is putting that wealth to good use in adventure and enterprise.  As good as this past week was, and it was, I see under the incoming Trump administration launches like that happening every single day.  I don’t think people realize yet how important all this is and what it will do for us.  But I can see it and am very excited about what’s coming.   In many ways, it’s a dream come true.
