It’s Not About Unity in the Community or the Power of a Vocal Minority: But entirely a standard of right and wrong

This will be a nice yard sign for Trump supporters who can’t wait for next year to vote for, or against some anti-American political enemy.

Because I, like many people involved, I must at least provide fair warning. Enjoying people is one thing; agreeing with them is an entirely different matter. This was grotesquely obvious while driving by Lakota West in West Chester, Ohio, on August 8th, 2023, where the special election was a significant focus. As far as the eye could see from the road were Vote No signs, a blatant reminder that the progressive government school there is a factory of liberal politics intent to convert confiscated wealth from property owners and to turn it into Democrat activism. And many Republican-leaning people have been suckered into the game, even to support it against conservative, traditional values. Even on issues like Issue 1, which would have made it more difficult to change the Ohio Constitution, Lakota schools are aggressive in favor of change. That’s the purpose of their existence, to change our traditional American culture into some monstrosity of liberalism. And that election day was just a reminder of that sentiment and the genuine catastrophe of the upcoming fall election in November. Lynda O’Conner is up for re-election, and many people close to the matter have been hoping that she wouldn’t run because the opposition against her is on a crusade that has not been seen at Lakota in all the years of its existence. Before things get too messy here, I would call to mind a few monumental memories of the past, such as when the Tea Party had to take a stand against John Kasich after he turned into a progressive after his loss with the state labor unions. They turned him into a progressive pretzel, and many of us worked hard to destroy him because we had to. In a few short years, you don’t see him around anymore. And many of the people who are now pushing for Lynda O’Conner to be re-elected this fall, after all that’s happened, went after Speaker of the House John Boehner and essentially knocked him out of the Republican Party because he was too much of a RINO.

The plan is for these to be everywhere

It’s an old game; we all get it. Friendships are made with people who are politically dangerous so that they can be controlled and perhaps worked against their original positions. And that certainly has been the case with the Butler County Republican Party. It’s always tempting to be invited to the cool kids’ table just so they can control you, not because they really like you. I just spoke about an excellent event with Nancy Nix where some of us have had some cantankerous hostilities toward each other. But at that event, we put a lot of that aside and had a nice evening together and enjoyed the comedians who were performing. It was a nice story. But all that is about to go sideways with Lynda O’Conner, which is fine. But the belief that friendships and private meetings would turn the resistance against her into captured assets of compliance with party sentiments was ill-advised and has only stirred up the hornet’s nest. The people involved with this next generation’s fight against the progressive objectives of Lakota schools will not be enamored with the shiny keys of friendship and gaining a seat at the table with the cool kids of power. The people I know standing against Lynda O’Conner for this upcoming election have a moral problem with her. It goes far beyond even calling her a RINO. They are not interested in Unity for the Community or coming together as a Republican party; this is all about right and wrong and standing up to the intrusions of a progressive political machine that works against conservative values in every way possible. And the passion is much greater than in those days of Governor Kasich and John Boehner. Many of the people involved in those old battles are now part of the cool kid’s club, and they like it, and they are supporting Lynda for the upcoming election and have been whispering in her ear and thinking that little secret meetings and emails of consensus building might work as it had on them in the past. I heard about some of these attempts while driving by Lakota West on that August election day, and I feel compelled to warn everyone that this is different, and there will be severe brand damage in the aftermath. This is unlike anything yet experienced in politics, which says a lot. And I don’t think many people understand.

There is a really graphic version of this one that will be used later

The advice that I have been giving to people is that this is a throw-away election. If a new school board will not work with a three to two majority to eliminate excessive administrators to save runaway cost losses at the government schools, then what’s the point of any of it? Cutting 20 or 30 equity and inclusion administrative hires could save many millions of dollars, which Lakota needs to do. But there are a lot of soft-shelled tacos out there, some in the GOP who would be running as Democrats if it wasn’t Butler County who want to feel good about themselves by supporting a big government school. The trans issue has been a challenge forcing people’s real politics to emerge along those lines. I would say that because of the way everyone has treated Darbi Boddy as a school board member to let them choke on it. Let the rope go and let Lakota destroy itself; let the liberals have their way. Let them do what Biden has done to the country because then and only then will people wake up. The campaign to fight them will become more apparent when people see what they are about and can’t focus their union efforts of progressivism against someone like Darbi. And for the soft-shelled types who want to support Lakota under Lynda’s leadership, the tax levy they have in mind will change their sentiments quickly. And we’ll be back to fighting tax increases instead of legitimately trying to control the costs.

The people I have been talking to who are thinking of running and don’t think they have much of a chance, I have told them the same thing I’ve said to Lynda in the past. The union threshold is around 7000 voters. That is a baked-in number. If you want to beat them, you must get over 8000 voters, however possible. Lynda hopes to blend that a bit with GOP support, and enough RINO types are willing to cross that line because they don’t want more of a fight than what we have seen so far with Darbi on the board. Yet Lynda’s role against Darbi has woken up something new in the Lakota school district that goes far beyond typical political disagreements. Something that traditional politics has no way of dealing with. This is a battle over ethics and the essence of right and wrong, and the way Lynda handled the superintendent issue and the protection of children at Lakota is a deeply emotional issue that there is no compromise on. This isn’t like the days when the Tea Party wanted John Boehner out, and a more Tea Party type like Warren Davidson was put in, and everyone shook hands and ate a sandwich together. This is more of a civil war, casualties included. Many Lyin’ Lynda types have been waiting for this opportunity, and it’s only fair to warn everyone involved. Because I generally like everyone involved. But right and wrong are not negotiable. That’s certainly always been my position. If people wanted to be friends, okay, I’ve been willing. But I’ve never been willing to compromise right and wrong as determined by conservative, Republican politics. I’ve never been some dope-smoking libertarian. I’ve always been a traditional Republican party supporter. However, some of this new generation are perfectly willing to abandon any pretense of friendship to defend traditional, conservative values. And they are far more interested in doing what is suitable than compromising with what’s wrong to have unity in the community and an intact Republican party. And I provide that warning with sincerity for the good things in the past that have been done and the good memory of them.

These are the kind of teachers Lynda, Julie and Doug want teaching your kids at Lakota. Here is a recently hired teacher at Endeavor Elementary

The Greatest Crime in the World: Of course, the Fed knew what they were doing, they just never thought they’d get caught

Here is the biggest crime in the world that nobody is talking about.  I’m not typically an audit the Fed kind of person, but Senator Rand Paul has been, along with his dad.  But unfortunately, he hasn’t been enough, and more senators should have always been heavily involved in this topic, and now we see the real danger in 2023 of bad Federal Reserve policy for several decades, especially since the 2008 economic collapse of the housing market.  Rand Paul is also really the only senator who has been asking the right kind of questions about the other biggest crime of the human race, Dr. Fauci’s role in the Covid lockdowns and subsequent deaths.  If not for Paul’s line of questions, we wouldn’t have what we do know, which is not nearly enough considering the level of the crimes committed against humanity.   Believe it or not, this Fed problem is much worse, and we are no longer talking about just auditing the Fed.  We need to have serious discussions about abolishing it, and coming up with a new fiscal management policy, because this government partnership with private industry, in this case the banking industry, has not worked.  It’s too much power in the hands of people who cannot manage that power, and it has gotten away from them in terribly destructive ways.  As the Federal Reserve was created in 1913, there were many good reasons to be suspicious.  We gave it a chance, and what happened proved those suspicions to be correct, and it’s time to admit that.  No matter what side you are on with politics, everyone should agree on fiscal policy and protecting money’s value as a core competency of American domestic management.  Instead, what we ended up with is much radical leftist activism from Jerome Powell, Janet Yellen, and Ben Bernanke since that 2008 economic crash and a disastrous relationship with Larry Fink from BlackRock that put all the wrong people in charge of our money, and now we have significant problems that a lot more people than Rand Paul need to get their arms around quickly.   

We’re not talking about ancient history here; it was only in 2020 that the Fed worked directly with Wall Street firms to buy bonds to offset the effects of the Covid lockdowns.  That is certainly the case with BlackRock, the largest money manager in the world, and their direct relationship to the Fed that has given them the ability to purchase the majority shareholder position in most of America’s corporations to impose woke standards on them with an artificial value created by the Fed.  Doesn’t anybody remember that old Flintstones episode where Fred was printing counterfeit money so that he could buy his wife something nice?  No, well, maybe everyone should take a minute and go back and watch that episode.  It’s a simple cartoon for kids, and they understood it back then.  That so many supposedly intelligent people didn’t know what the Fed was doing with quantitative easing to support a radical leftist concept of Modern Monetary Theory was wrong to explain clearly where many of these problems started.  That wasn’t the first time BlackRock benefited from that relationship with the Fed.  In 2008, Larry Fink was a nobody, and the government was looking for a sucker like him to funnel money to take the edge off the housing crisis.  BlackRock wasn’t managing trillions of dollars at that time as they do now.  But once the Fed started printing phony money to saturate the market with easy money funneled through Wall Street, BlackRock grew into the top investment firm within a decade.  But the whole house of cards was built off made-up counterfeit money, just like the Flintstones episode where Barny Rubble was printing fake money and was showing it to Fred.  If a private person prints phony money, it’s a crime.  But if the Federal Reserve does it, it’s not?  That’s the problem. 

Because of all the phony Fed money, BlackRock acquired trillions of dollars of investment dollars that they then used to buy up majority shares of stock and gain control of most American companies.  And because of that majority share ownership, they have been able to impose ESG standards straight from the World Economic Forum directly on those companies and their employees and customers.  Without the Fed tampering with the market by injecting fake money, BlackRock would never have gained the power it now has over so many companies.  And politically, none of these people, not the Federal Reserve representatives, and certainly not Larry Fink, are conservatives.  They are all radical leftists who are entirely too supportive of the centralized controls of the World Economic Forum.  BlackRock has taken in most of our money for 401K plans and made us part of this radical leftist activism whether we wanted to or not because they had control of so much money from the Fed to invest.  Without the Fed, BlackRock would have had to save their money like everyone else, and they would have been limited to their fiduciary responsibilities like all other companies used to.  Only now, after the cash injection by the Fed, did BlackRock, State Street, Vanguard, Blackstone, and many others gain leverage over the market with trillions of dollars of inflated asset acquisition that has essentially destroyed the market in America and placed control of it into the World Economic Forum and its radical leftist, Marxist policies. 

This is how these radical political activists have gained control over the fossil fuel industry and intend to drive them away from market value as it was traditionally utilized but steered them into political activism.  This is how Disney has been essentially destroyed by BlackRock being one of their majority shareholders.  This is the conversion of shareholder capitalism to “stakeholder” capitalism, as Larry Fink defines it.  The public used to be able to buy stock, and if a company could convince them to invest, they’d have a share and say in how that company was run.  These radical leftists are now calling the shots because the Fed injected so much money that it allowed BlackRock to take that opportunity away from ordinary investors.  Why does anybody think that Bud Light did what they did with the trans movement?  And why do most companies, even Chick-fil-A, find themselves in the same situation, despite what the public thinks about it?  Because all these money management firms were given fake money to invest, and now they are the majority shareholders, made that way by Fed radicalism that was entirely politically motivated to give possession of American industry over to the clutches of Marxism at the World Economic Forum.  When you make yourselves the Lords of Easy Money, many subjects will do whatever you say, and that is the crime that the Fed utilized to gain control over the entire American economy with fake money funneled through firms like BlackRock to perform the greatest robbery in the history of the world, right in front of everyone’s faces.  And it’s not something anybody can turn their backs on.  Now that the Fed has been caught, they are digging in their heels, hoping that a political takeover of the world toward leftist domination will save them from justice.  But that is, of course, up to us now that we know what we do.

Testimony about UFOs to Congress Under Oath: Governments that lie to people are far more dangerous than aliens

This is the problem with collectivist-based systems; I told you guys what was happening with the UFOs.  Nobody is ever in charge when the Administrative State puts forth an explanation.  This is also why studying ancient cultures and what you can learn from their attempts and mistakes is good.  Collectivism has yet to work where society behaves like some organism of cells in a body without a brain.  In such a society of goo, it’s easy to hide genuinely terrible things, and that is the summary of what kind of UFO testimony has been put forth to members of Congress under sworn disclosure.  To settle the matter, I have been spending a lot more time this year talking about UFOs because I didn’t want people to be shocked when the government started talking in a way that would migrate to full disclosure.  That is our government and people from other planets, and not just one species, but many, over ten have been talking for a long time.  And they have been sharing information all that time and hiding it from the general public for all the same reasons churches didn’t want people reading the Bible for themselves but wanted a priest to interpret everything for them or a regional king so that there would be some insulation between our society and these interplanetary interactions.  In this increasingly open world, it’s getting harder to keep quiet.  It was much easier back when three networks performed broadcast television and a few radio stations.  The government could control, to some extent, the newspapers, and everyone reported the same sort of thing, as strong personalities headed most corporations.  But in these days, where the Administrative State essentially runs like a blob of collectivism, and nobody is really in charge of anything, the reports to Congress that UFOs have been coming and going and that it is more than machinery that we have been gathering and analyzing, but people too has been shocking to some.  It’s information that isn’t new but is bursting forth because of all the other things that are suddenly much worse to realize. 

Because of mass collectivism, nobody is ever responsible for anything, and now that the mistakes of steering society in that direction have been obvious and are falling apart everywhere, that same mass organism of mass blob is trying to conceal itself with UFO talk, just as I have been saying for a few years now was going to happen.  I have known about this for a long time and am not surprised by these recent reports.  It’s only to those who have assumed that the government’s secrecy on the matter had a point of social safety where the disillusionment comes into play.  The evidence shows that visitors from all over the current galaxy and universe, who exist on many dimensional levels, are relatively abundant.  But it doesn’t fit well within the understanding that people are too busy taking their kids to soccer practice to wrap their minds around the concept.  But in most ancient cultures, they interacted with elements of the supernatural, most of which sound like modern-day UFO abductions.  Today’s governments have bypassed that information and contained it within a safety narrative to show society they were in control of the situation and needed tax money to keep mysterious things from coming in the night and abducting them to anal probes.  In the past, as governments rose and fell, these stories fell to religions to explain, which embodies most of what we know about mythology. 

My position on UFOs is not that they are a big deal but that we are essentially them.  We come from all over the place.  And if they were so much brighter than we were, we’d know it by now.  The government has maintained the illusion that they are superior for their own needs to obtain power, driven by mass collectivism.   But now there are so many crimes that have been committed by government, the mass tampering with the global economy, the threat of technology to take over the world essentially, the deaths caused by government bioweapons such as Covid, and the fake wars that are losing their effect on the world stage.  Nobody cares about Ukraine, Russia, or the other propped-up bodies on Earth, such as China.  People are sick of being lied to.  They are sick of stolen elections.  They are sick of the government trying to micromanage their lives with vaccines, fake media, and corrupt politics, all run by the blob of collectivism presented to us as abundant, global communism.  I have said for years that as reckless as government has been, with all its lack of leadership, it exists for the animal impulses of sex, food, and material acquisition which is evident if you ever visit the suburbs of current-day Washington D.C., and nothing else.  For all the power of government that it has acquired through secret knowledge, it has essentially wasted it all on nonsense, which is the net result of the congressional testimony of July 2023, and the media reporting on it as if it’s one of the biggest news stories in the history of the world.  It’s not. 

Studying ancient cultures is fun for me and has been infinitely fascinating because people believed what they did and for how long.  And to what extent they invested themselves into a future and how successful their string of thoughts was.  I concluded that most civilizations received a jump start by interacting with celestial travelers.  Those travelers aren’t much more intelligent or wiser than we are today; they have just developed a few more toys to play with because they come from societies that lasted longer and had the means to build them.  But they have the same problem everyone else does; they don’t have stable communities that last infinitely, and the struggle between individual leadership and classic blob collectivism is a genuine problem not just here on Earth but throughout the galaxy.  And it’s only at the end of such a cycle, as we are in now, that reluctant governments are finally willing to admit to what has been known all along.  The evidence is all around us and is grotesquely evident in places like Peru, where deforestation has revealed many ancient cultures that predate the Incans by many thousands of years.  Probably, tens of thousands of years.  Perhaps hundreds and millions, and there is nothing left of those cultures because of the rate of erosion geologically.  It is only now that this criminal government, with all its tampering with the human race and is now stacked up with mistake upon mistake upon error, that they are willing to give up a little power of knowledge to hopefully suppress their truly criminal complicity in destroying the human race yet again, for the thousandth time.  The UFO talk is to cover up their crimes against humanity.  Sure, the UFOs are real.  The interaction with many species from many other planets all over the galaxy is quite common.  Unfortunately, they have been talking to the wrong people, the governments of the world, who have been approaching them with the false philosophy of kingly control over mass populations.  And as it always has, that is precisely how you destroy a society, and advancement stops every time.  UFOs and their occupants are not a big deal.  But governments that lie to their people are one of the most destructive elements in the universe.  And is the real story we should be concerned with.  The government keeps the information a secret for national security reasons. But they ask for more power based on all the things you don’t know that only they interpret are dangerous. Trust them! But experience says they are far more dangerous than what aliens might bring with them.  They ask for more power over things only they know about for reasons only they understand, which was a con game from the beginning.

You might notice you’ve heard these topics somewhere before………………..always remember, everything is done at the front of the train, not in the back. Metaphysics of Quality, Robert Pirsig.

There Will Be No Gun Control in America: Biden’s speech proves that His White House is smoking crack

I’ve been on vacation and catching up on various news stories; I had heard the summary of Biden’s anti-gun speech, the one where he said at the end, “God save the queen, man.” But I hadn’t seen the original speech until recently as I’ve been catching up on the various news stories. And this anti-gun speech is worth some discussion because it brings up an assumption that the Biden administration has about its role in the world that is rather humorous. In that speech, Biden said that the government would ban assault weapons as if that were an achievable goal and that they had a right to do it. Now, of course, Biden is the representative in the White House of globalism, and naturally, for globalism and its communist platform to work, people wouldn’t be able to have guns. That is why the Democrats and some Republicans who have fallen for the temptations of globalism are so eager for gun control. Because they can’t get their centralized authority until they have control of the guns until people must turn to government for their fundamental security in life, so long as Americans are independent and armed, communism can’t work in America. They are desperately trying to apply it, but there is no enforceability if people are privately armed. So, in that regard, Biden is simply saying what the communist goals are under the influence of his Chinese owner’s demand. Before there can be a one-world communist government, guns must be removed from American society, which is no easy task. Because guns are at the core of American culture, and people have an increasing understanding of that, which is setting up for quite a standoff soon as the government tries to implement its communist agenda fully.  

It should be noted that not that long ago, as Mike Pompeo was Trump’s Secretary of State, he reported to all 50 of the governors in America that China had a scorecard for each one of them. China is watching all aspects of American life, trying to figure out how to bring us down from the inside out, and they are grading our state governors as favorable or unfavorable to their communist platform, just as they would do in their own country. And, of course, one of the key issues that China finds favorable or unfavorable is the position on gun control. We are not dealing with threats to our country in the traditional way; the Chinese do not fight war the way we have been trained to expect it. They work behind the scenes to undermine their targets, and they have been doing that to us for a long time, and we have let them do it largely because we expected our paid-off politicians to defend us. Instead, they were enjoying the honey pots and the filled bank accounts that come from creative financing at the World Economic Forum, which is the real villain working behind the scenes, propping China up to be the baddie while they implement their mechanisms of control behind the scenes. There is quite a lot of deception going on, but everyone needs to understand that the ultimate goal is a trick to convince Americans to give up their guns so that the thieves of the world can feast on our gullibility. Americans have been gullible, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing; it’s been a luxury on our part because we are a gun culture. We can afford to be nice to other countries and make hostile efforts to overthrow our country because we ultimately hold the supreme power, personal defense, and the ability to fight back against a tyrannical government.

What’s humorous about Biden’s anti-gun comments is that he assumes and believes in the power of government, the same military that has cross-dressing drag queens running it, he thinks are going to be able to go door to door to arrest and confiscate firearms under force. You can’t have it both ways, old man; you can’t defile America’s military on the world stage with a bunch of transvestites and simultaneously evoke fear of such awesome power that they wield. Showing weakness in the American military with woke policies might have made your Chinese bosses happy, but it certainly hasn’t instilled fear into Americans who might see their military turned against them by the power of government to impose martial law. That’s not going to work out too well. Biden constantly references airstrikes against political opponents who might be resolute on the Second Amendment with the same audacity that he has used his own Department of Justice to go after political rivals; meanwhile, Hunter Biden is recording himself breaking the speed limit and doing crack to show how above the law he is. And the White House has a cocaine problem; a bunch of dumb druggies run it, and we are supposed to be OK with that as a culture? No, that’s not how it works. Americans have had the comfort level to look beyond these issues because they have private ownership of guns. Without that security, it would be many times worse in the city streets than we currently see in Paris. Once Americans realize the kind of control that these communist global governments want for them, that happy talk will go away rather fast. 

There won’t be any gun control in America. The 90s assault weapons ban that Biden talks about will never happen again because we are essentially a different country now. We witnessed what this government did with vaccine mandates, Covid in general, election fraud, and how they treated a popularly elected president in Trump. Any notion that the government is the key to a safe society is gone, and gun control, or convincing people that gun control is an option at all, would require complete trust in government. And the more that government has tried to use force to impose itself on people, the worse they have made that argument for trust. It would take many decades for people to trust the government again after all we’ve seen over these last several years. And Biden’s goals for gun control are simply him reading off the playbook of the globalists who know they need it to further their plans. But Americans know that that number is growing in intensity, that guns are the backdrop to their freedoms, freedoms they have taken for granted. Freedoms they took for granted because they had guns. Florida recently became the 26th state to implement Constitutional Carry, something I thought would be a fantasy just five years ago. But people see what’s happening, and now nearly half the country knows that the key to surviving all these globalist impositions is to widen gun coverage to individual people. The power of government isn’t big enough or organized enough to do what the globalist forces want them to do in America. Because on the ground level, America is still run by Americans. Not by the central banks. Certainly not by the politicians. Not by the media.   But by, gun-wearing Americans who outnumber all the guns of the world and stand in the way of what globalism wants to achieve because of their gun ownership. And because of that ownership, we will remain free in America. Which more and more people are figuring out based on the actions of this corrupt government whenever it opens its mouth.

Why Should We Vote for Trump if He Got Suckered During His First Term: Fighting the organized crime of captured governments worldwide

I have many books that cover conspiracy theories that, before 2019, nobody would have believed. After all, who in their right mind would have believed that the government, “our government,” was involved in the creation of a bioweapon that ended up killing many millions of people worldwide and that it was unleashed in 2020 from China as a way to destroy the American presidency and red-hot economy? And that Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates knew what the plan was, and they purposely suppressed medicine to fight the bioweapon virus, such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, so that more people would die, and that the goals of a Great Reset, as imagined by Klaus Schwab and Yuval Harari from the World Economic Forum, a group of terrorists posing as a kind of charity organization who are seeking world domination without having a country to represent, but rather all countries united under globalism for their maniacal plans of mayhem and destruction of capitalism by communist insurgents. Yet that is precisely what happened, and what was worse was the timing, during the 2020 election season so that the emergency mode that swept over America could be used to suspend Constitutional norms and push states into changing the law for how elections were conducted so that American intelligence agencies could orchestrate a coup against a sitting president, a person hated by all the forces of globalism, both foreign and domestic, yet loved popularly by most of America who wants the sovereignty of their country back, so they trusted their election process as opposed to hitting the streets with violence to preserve their nation. Covid kept everyone hiding in their homes from the government-engineered virus, terrified that they might be the next victim of death. It was a very elaborate scheme involving many thousands of horrible people in governments worldwide. But who would have believed it before that time? 

Well, I did; I screamed it from the mountaintops. I find it amazing, for instance, after seeing the new Indiana Jones movie many times at the theater now that most people are having a problem with learning that the United States hired Nazis for the American space program. Really! That is supposed to be a well-known fact. The American space program that started NASA was full of old Nazis from Germany who worked directly for Hitler. And in addition, they were radical occultists way over the deep end, connected to Alister Crowley and the New Dawn cult that involved sacrificing all kinds of living things to ancient gods for supernatural aid. Everyone should know that because it’s been talked about in conspiracy circles for years but talking to people coming out of the Indiana Jones movie seems to be the most shocking thing to them. They didn’t know. It’s not what you talk about at Starbucks, especially before 2019, before Covid was unleashed on the world. Yet it was true, all of it was, and much more. I would not say I was ever a fan of conspiracy theories; I have always wanted a straight-up society of good people running our government and that our society was something we could all believe in and be proud of. I wanted to be proud of NASA. I wanted to be proud of the CIA. I used to have a nice hat I wore everywhere, showing my support for the CIA. But the more I read about these groups, the more you learn about these conspiracy theories and how true they really are. 

And like the talk about Nazis who founded NASA, many of those same people are now saying that we shouldn’t vote for President Trump because he was suckered so much by those around him. Obviously, Trump did get suckered by Bill Gates and Dr. Fauci. Trump trusted people, and they knowingly took advantage of his lack of knowledge regarding Covid, tricking Trump into destroying his own economy for the benefit of the aggressive Chinese. I called it a Pearl Harbor attack at the time. But I was the only one. Everyone else was grabbing a mask and hiding in their homes because the dumb government told them to, the same people who caused the problem in the first place. Then Trump thinking he was team building put a lot of Rinos on his staff to appease the various factions that were against the Make America Great Again movement. And those people sought to appease Trump’s ego to his face while working behind the scenes to undermine his presidency. So why on earth would we want to return Trump to the White House if he was so easily suckered? What would prevent him from being suckered again? Why should we give him another chance, or even worse yet, shouldn’t we appease the gods of globalism so that they stop unleashing bioweapons on us and trying to destroy our economy by picking some lightweight like Ron DeSantis or Nikki Haley, as endorsed by Fox News and the gang in New York are simply the controlled opposition for global politics with Chinese style communism in mind. There are serious problems that may require appeasement as opposed to transformative leadership in the Executive Branch. 

Long before Obama was in the White House, there were massive conspiracies engineered by lots of hostile forces to destroy America from the inside out, to destroy our laws, put international criminals in charge of our money, and to rob the value of our country and redistribute it around the world. But when Trump was elected in 2016, and the forces of globalism panicked because that was never supposed to happen, they showed their cards to the rest of the world that by the time 2020 rolled around, they were no longer concerned about concealing these vast conspiracy theories. And now that we can see them openly, we can now talk about defeating those forces. And no other presidential candidate is more motivated to fight these aggressors than Trump. He wants revenge for what they did to him personally. And many of us want a peaceful revolution against these hostile forces for the threat we have always known them to be. But because of Trump, more people now know them. Trump knows who the players are because they personally burned him, he understands how the corruption machine works, and if he had just four years to deal with it, he could do great things that have needed to happen for decades. But only now are people ready to see what those things are and comprehend just how hostile those forces against America, both foreign and domestic, were all along. “Yes, Nazis built our moon rockets,” I said to a very nice man after seeing the latest Indiana Jones movie. “Without Hitler’s Nazis, an American space program would never have existed. What they showed in that movie was actually true.” He was stunned. I could have continued, “and Covid was created to destroy America and capitalism in general from the inside out.” Maybe someday someone will make a movie about these things, and I’ll have a similar conversation with people like that 50 years from now. But until then, Trump is the best way to change the course of history back to an American nation that is the light for the world. And only he could have a chance to perform the task because he learned the players from actual, real-world experience that forced these conspiracies to the surface for all to see.

The Miracles of Free Market Capitalism at Put-in-Bay: When the market seeks to satisfy customers, good things happen

My wife and I have a great appreciation for the RV life. With our fast-moving lifestyle, it is the method that works best for us, and it’s uniquely American in that we have as part of our lifestyle an expectation of freedom that is certainly dominant with RV travel. We like taking part of our house with us when traveling, which we do extensively throughout the year. It is great to have your own bathroom, your own refrigerator, tools, and storage. And as far as camping, I prefer it to the static existence of hotel life where you depend on everyone else for everything, from food to rest. My camper has my own pillows and sheets that my wife keeps very clean. It makes travel much less stressful when you have your own stuff while staying in places far away. And that’s how we found ourselves up near Put-in-Bay, Ohio. I was at a competitive fast draw competition near that area, so my wife and I camped in our RV for a few days to participate. Then in our downtime, we went over to South Bass Island, where Put-in-Bay is, to look around. I wanted to go to the Perry Museum because I love the Oliver Hazard Perry story of stopping the English during the War of 1812, so because we were camping, we had the flexibility to do that kind of thing while in the area. Plus, there was a really nice campground over on South Bass Island that we have been thinking about as a family trip, as a way to explore all the area islands in the near future, so we wanted to see how the ferry system worked for taking RVs over to the island. 

Of course, Put-in-Bay is very nice, they call it the Key West of the North, and as everyone knows, I like Key West for the audacious independence that it expects, as related to other island lifestyles elsewhere in the world. What’s astonishing about Put-in-Bay is that it’s so close to the border of another country, yet it’s in Ohio, and it has all the island vibes of Hilton Head Island and Key West all wrapped up into a kind of Charleston presentation. It’s a very unique place, and my wife and I enjoyed our visit after doing well in the competitions. For me, it was a rare down day that I greatly appreciated. But what was most impressive to me was the Miller Ferry system itself. I have had the benefit of traveling worldwide and have seen many ferries, many of them creatively stuffing as many people as possible onto their boats to make as much money as they can. But the Miller Ferry had the added complication of maintaining a high American lifestyle. South Bass Island has cars and, as I said, RVs. There is a really nice campground where you can RV camp, and people take their big rigs over to the island routinely. While going over and coming back, I watched the Miller Ferry crew completely load up one of their craft with many millions of dollars in personal RVs, and I couldn’t help but think of the complexity of insurance risk. Most places in the world, especially communist countries, would discourage such travel, where people expect to haul their own personal property over to a tiny island with such an expectation of freedom. That expectation is a particular trait that you find at RV campsites all over the United States and is very consistent as opposed to the type of people who stay at hotels and are dependent on that type of entertainment structure.

Those elements came together nicely on the Miller’s Ferry, where dozens of RVs, many of them over 53 feet long, loaded onto the ferry quickly and traveled across the lake as casually as people ride an elevator up a skyscraper. It was astonishingly competent to watch the ferry crew, which are all very good, load and unload the many millions of dollars of personal equipment so casually. Most organizations and countries that govern them would be much slower and more regulatory-bound. But within moments of landing, the ramp came down, and giant RVs of great worth were leaving the ferry to resume their journeys wherever they intended to go. I found it an astonishing display of competence driven by high personal expectations of customer service based on a lifestyle of freedom. It was audacious to have the ability to take your house to an island to stay for an extended period. Most places in the world would have a lot of regulatory burdens to overcome, and by the time they did, the option would have just been thrown out the window. Why do all that just so people could take their RVs over to a little bitty island? Why couldn’t people just rent a hotel room or stay in a condo? Why did people have to haul their RVs over to a place for such audacious expectations of freedom that were clearly the core of the lifestyle? The island is so tiny, only a few miles across in any direction, that golf carts are the most dominant form of travel. People do drive their cars around, but golf carts are the way to go. The exhibition displayed the difference between government-run facilities and private ones.

The Miller Ferry organization, a private one that has grown to meet the market demand, had no trouble handling even the most complicated loads they did all day without incident. People loaded onto the ferry without crashing and causing other people any trouble, and they did it day in, day out all day, well into the evening. The crew wasn’t overly regulatory and panicked, as you see in many government facilities when they have to deal with crowd management. With the Miller Ferry and the culture of South Bass Island, the expectation is to take care of the customer experience as well as possible, which certainly is not the case with any government-run endeavor. The market serves the consumer and doesn’t seek to control the consumer. If the consumer wants something, then the market finds a way to satisfy that market need, even if it’s as audacious as taking your own home over to a remote island for a day or two so that the traveler can enjoy the comforts of home in their own private way. The amount of cost and investment needed for that experience to happen is ostentatious. Yet they facilitate that life at South Bass Island with the option of the Miller Ferry. As we were experiencing all this, I had to think of where in the world such a display was shown in this way, the level of competence, the expectation of delivery with such a large payload, and people’s private homes. Europe and Asia do not facilitate lifestyles that even have those options as tangible. Their roads aren’t big enough for our RV lifestyle in America. Let alone have a ferry that can take those big vehicles over to an island for vacation. And if the governments were in charge of the ferry, it would take all day to just run through all their regulatory checklists. But at the Miller Ferry, everyone loads up in minutes. They are off just as fast. Nobody crashes. Nobody fights. Nobody worries. People just do what they do and enjoy doing it, which is a wonderful example of how it should be everywhere in the world if only free market capitalism were as vital as it is at South Bass Island.

A UFO Over Middletown, Ohio: Right where I said one should appear

It’s always news when a UFO appears in the sky in your community, especially a well-defined one as occurred on June 21st, 2023, in precisely the location that I had dared one to appear just a few days earlier. One of my locations for recording VLOGs for my website is the LeSourdsville Lake Park near the campus of Butler Tech. I had been covering the increase in the news of UFO sightings, precisely the one in Las Vegas recently where reportedly a UFO crashed in the backyard of some witnesses, and 10-foot-tall aliens were running around trying to conceal the crash by driving around construction equipment. All this was reported to the police, captured on video, and had multiple witnesses. As I report these things, I say that UFO encounters are much more common among many more people who typically don’t get recognition for them, so it was odd that there are many more reporting than usual and that they are occurring with more frequency with multiple witnesses. My purpose for talking about it wasn’t the phenomenon itself but that the government was admitting to it. And my offering was that the government was in trouble with all these other scandals, horrible inflation, globalism gone bad, a Covid story that wouldn’t go away, election fraud, and abuse of the Department of Justice; there is a lot that the American government would like to get out of people’s minds, and usually when you see a rash of UFO stories, that is the card that governments hide under their sleeve for just such emergencies. 

So to take the edge off the story, I pointed to a spot on the ground and dared a UFO to appear, and a few days later, just a few hundred feet away, a really good UFO appeared in the sky to multiple witnesses who were able to record it on their cell phones. The UFO hovered in the sky near the Speedway, which is nearby with very defined lights turning in a counterclockwise direction before jutting off to the northeast at impossible speeds for conventional physics. Early offerings on the matter were that it could have been a drone or a series of drones. But whatever it was, it was certainly something, and many people saw it. Of course, my first reaction was that someone had seen my video and had the idea to create the situation to answer my challenge. Because there were too many coincidences to consider, out of all the latitude and longitude coordinates in the world, this UFO appearance was just too perfect considering my challenge. And out of all the times in the year, this one appeared just a few days after I had asked it to. That left the question of who and why because the UFO that appeared in the sky was undoubtedly a what and a where. I have recorded UFOs in this general area before, but this one was very well-defined and had all the cinematic elements that are typically associated with UFO technology, spinning, colorful lights, impossibly high speeds, and the ability to hover in place. It was a classic UFO sighting that was entirely too perfect to be real, yet there it was. 

I wondered about it being a drone, about it being an experimental craft from nearby Wright Patterson Airforce Base. One of the reasons that there may be many UFO sightings in the Southern Ohio area is the many Indian mounds. This precise area has many markers in the shape of mounds, as I have talked about them being references to points in time that were created to help a navigator understand due to star alignments with them “when” in time a space traveler might want to know. Specifically, in this case, the nearby Fort Hill alignments that are over 5000 years old align to the constellation Aries and involve the Pleiades star system at a time when people shouldn’t have had such ideas about astrology. And just a few miles to the north of that UFO sighting is the Middletown Mound which is related to the massive Miamisburg mound just upriver a few miles. So, these UFOs aren’t as uncommon as people might think, nor are their reasons for appearing in the Southern Ohio skies. No matter how advanced onboard equipment might be, even for a society that is millions of years further along technologically than we are present, there is nothing like a good signpost in the ground to tell you when you are somewhere because space travel can get funky, as time does not move the same way for everyone, everywhere. It helps to know “when” you are, not just “where.” Most of the UFOs I have seen are very high up. One of my daughters is very tuned in to these kinds of things and always finds them. Most recently, there was one she recorded and sent to me right over my house, but very high up. I remind people that there is a lot of advanced technology that people have, governments, crime syndicates, pedophile rings within the World Economic Forum, crazy lunatics obsessed with bizarre sex practices where they drink adrenochrome, which could simulate a UFO occurrence with holographic projections, which is what I think this UFO reported on August 21st actually was. We are dealing with very hostile people who have gained the advantage in recent years of a technology-based world that is easy to manipulate through images. And those who control what you see are prone to abuse that power.

Understanding all that, my statement on UFOs and all other potential hostilities, no matter where they come from, is that the American Constitution is a philosophy that is the law of the land and that we do not suspend it just because aliens from other planets happen to show up. It’s the same kind of debate that we had when the government purposely mismanaged Covid by denying victims of proper medicine such as hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin as treatments, allowing people to purposely be killed by the virus released by the lab in Wuhan through government cooperation globally. In America, they tried to suspend our Constitutional rights over Covid and implied the same regarding UFO encounters. If we come face to face with an alien species, then we are expected to cleave to the government to save us, and under such conditions, our Constitution would be suspended. My argument is that “no,” we never suspend our Constitution and turn our lives over to the government, which is what I had been saying was the root cause of these increases in UFO appearances. The fact that they were happening, and more frequently, was the government’s way to corral people behind their cause, to get them to seek the safety of the government’s skirt like a frightened child. I would further offer that our American Constitution would be valuable to teach aliens from space.

Just because they are technologically further along than us doesn’t mean they are smarter. They could learn a thing or two from the American Constitution. But we don’t suspend it just because of some emergency or visits from an alien species. And ultimately, that’s why I think the UFO sightings are happening. To remind people that government is there to protect them from unknown forces and that those forces are just hovering around anywhere, anytime. What defense do we have if not for the government? Well, my statement is that the government does lie and that they are far more dangerous than the aliens. If the aliens want to come, go ahead and land, and let’s have a chat. But suspending the Constitution, or our investigative First Amendment that looks at all the bad dealings of this corrupt government isn’t going to happen. Based on what we know now, the government isn’t something we should be running to for protection. They are what we should be running from, aliens and all.

10 Foot Aliens Land in Las Vegas: When the government reports on conspiracy stories, it’s clear they are trying to hide the really bad stuff

I’ve talked about aliens quite a lot, and I think there is much merit to the seeding of human civilization by colonists from other planets. I hesitate to call them aliens because, in many ways, they are likely us. So perhaps they aren’t so alien after all. The religions of the world, when studied, point to far more color along these lines than just some lazy assumption from academia that humans went from being cave people to advanced religions in too short of a time, and there is still a lot to uncover regarding our deep and mysterious past. If a UFO landed and many people stepped out of strange spacecraft, I would not be surprised. I would find it shocking that it wasn’t the case, as opposed to such an occurrence being unique. The evidence points to interactions between space colonists and humans being far too frequent, including currently. The esoteric nature of secret society attachment to governments is the first clue. World War II was essentially started along the lines of occult belief, which directly related to UFO study, by the Nazis, and thus, the creation of the United Nations was born from the disturbances of various European occult beliefs colliding with global politics in a world suddenly not so big due to increases in transportation and communication. The aliens have always been with us and likely work in the background with occult contacts as recently as one minute ago, somewhere in the world, and the noise behind most modern politics likely points to these interactions, which are cleverly hidden by various religions of the world. But those are not the real dangers. Aliens are not to be feared. It’s the governments of the world that are the problem as they always have been, and the push for power that often comes in how information is obtained, and from what source, and the desire to monopolize those interactions for silly human vision, not so enlightened by proper philosophy.

And if you study these things long enough, you’ll start to see a pattern emerging, and there is one emerging right now. You know that governments are in trouble, not just the American government for its work in election fraud to put a phony president in office, or the world governments hidden behind the corruption of the World Economic Forum and the world of global finance that has been caught killing millions of people with Covid, starting useless wars for the desire to convert the world from nationalism to a borderless aristocracy, and they are worried that people are going to unite and rally to their destruction. So they are trying to appease the masses with reminders about how government is there to protect us from the scary beings from outer space. When you really peal back the orange at the root cause of much intelligence agency trouble, in their narrative that everything has to be so secret for national security and the safety of the public, what it really means is that they want justification to operate without Constitutional parameters over fears that a superior technology might come along and destroy the entire human race.   I think these interactions won’t ever happen because that relationship has existed since the beginning of time. We are them, so why would we destroy ourselves? But governments that want to grab power and stay in power use the fear of the unknown to bypass our laws, which they have then carried over into other aspects of political life. This results in the mysteries we see regarding UFO reports and the various governments’ conspiracy to conceal them or use them to strike fear in the public and remind them how much people need a government and an all-powerful military to protect them. In truth, it’s just another big government scam to spend money, hide things from the public, and grow government for some elusive goal of national defense.

You can always tell when the government, as an organized unit of malcontents, gets itself in trouble by the way they behave. UFO stories start to leak to the public during this time, and that has been the case recently. The only thing that can save the governments from serious prosecution and even rebellion is to attempt to unite the world behind a common fear of planetary destruction by little green men who may invade us at any time. That was certainly the case when prime-time outlets have been covering stories that the military had been experimenting on crashed UFOs by actual leakers who witnessed the occurrences. But even stranger was the UFO crash that occurred in the late spring of 2023 in Las Vegas, where a few kids witnessed a crash that actually left a dent in a parking lot and found a bunch of 10-foot-tall aliens trying to cover their tracks of their cloaked ship failing to conceal itself while they bumbled around like the three stooges trying to use local construction equipment to clean up the crash. The kid reporting the accident sounded credible enough. And as usual with these kinds of things, the elusive Men in Black came along in the days after to do what they do to contain the public image. It was all standard UFO stuff. Many people think the Men in Black are U.S. government people; others think they are trying to appear that way and are actually not human in origin. There is a lot of talk about them in the great book and movie, The Mothman Prophecies. They were reported at the Las Vegas crash site. But what is really strange is that the mainstream news so joyfully reported the incident. That’s when you know something is really wrong.    

I would say that UFO crashes and interactions with lifeforms from other planets are common. The way that the government manages the stories is that they keep everyone isolated and not talking to each other. That is until the government needs a cover story for its own existence. And when that happens, the reports of these UFOs start getting reported in the mainstream news, with the obvious hope that people might be frightened by them and run for the skirt of mother government and its perpetual desire to be the helicopter parents of all existence. It’s not alien invaders we have to worry about; it’s the corrupt governments of the world and their desires for power that are the real danger. And when they start talking about aliens, you know they are worried about people noticing all the bad things they have been up to, which would inspire people not to trust them. Because aliens, for them, is their cheater card that they keep in their back pocket to bail them out when all else fails. And using the rules I always talk about, judging people based on what they do, not what they say, what the government is doing has been criminal, murderous, and driven by deep corruptions. And people are aware of it, more people than usual, which is scary for them. Because there isn’t enough government to hold back the anger of the world, and based on what we know about things, even the alien stories aren’t going to contain the anger that people justifiably feel.

The Desperation of Indicting Trump: When the prophet Zechariah was stoned to death and why

There is no case against President Trump, these indictments and attempt at public embarrassment are the same kind of qualities that authority figures have inflicted over innocent challenges to that authority all through time. The prophet Zechariah comes to mind from 2 Chronicles 24:21-22 where King Joash had him falsely charged with a capital crime, resulting in the stoning to death of the man on the temple court next to the altar. Jesus specifically talked about these kinds of assassinations in Matthew 23:29-35 and Luke 11:47-51 where he charged the present generation with the responsibility of all the righteous martyrs throughout Scripture, “Therefore this generation will be held responsible for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning of the world, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah.” So, I took the spectacle in Miami, Florida, in that regard, as an attempt by the power structure in control to abuse its authority the way power has since the beginning of time in order to remove rivals with deadly force. It won’t be the first time that a powerful person abused the law to kill off a threat to them, and that is the only thing that came to my mind with this latest indictment of President Trump. But these aren’t the days of Zechariah, or even Jesus, where murders and plots of destruction were commonplace among society’s kings and high priests. The hapless old man Joe Biden and his henchmen, the corrupt Jack Smith at the embarrassing Department of Justice, are just the latest to attempt it. But if we step back a bit from the situation, we are witnessing some things in history that have never been done before, and in a lot of ways, this was the best thing to have happened to the movement of freedom around the world. Trump is bigger than his attackers, and this event has been a kind of call to arms to stand up to tyranny in ways that otherwise would not be considered. 

These charges against Trump only confirm what I have said from day one of the 2020 election, which was that it was rigged. And it also confirms much of what I have been saying my entire adult life, that we have an ostentatiously corrupt government that has always been up to no good, and now we have absolute proof of it. We used to shake our heads at the reports of election fraud in places like Russia, China, Venezuela, and other tyrannical places at phony elections that did not allow the opposition to be put in power. The elections were only conducted to give the impression that the public picked their representatives. The people who actually picked those in power were those who had already seized it and used rigged elections to keep power. We assumed that those kinds of rigged elections were happening everywhere in the world but in America, but then they got caught doing it in the middle of the night. Trump was leading in the election of 2020, but then while everyone was sleeping, Biden was the chosen one. You could even trace back the selection of Joe Biden to the primary for Democrats. Biden was running far behind the rest of the pack, with Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg consistently outperforming Biden until South Carolina. That is where Biden was picked, a deal was made with the others to get behind the hapless buffoon, and we have what we see now, a selected president, not an elected one. And much of the criminal indictments leveled against Trump are intent to cover up these crimes that are punishable by death. It would be the only punishment acceptable for such high crimes as election fraud, especially with all the globalist mechanisms that are working behind the scenes through finance. 

Traditionally, the target of such attacks, a political figure like Trump or a prophet like Zechariah, they’d just be killed, much the way President Kennedy was in 1963 in what we now know through the declassification of documents from that period, 60 years later, that the CIA was critical in killing an American president. They didn’t want him around, challenging their power, so they killed him. And he wasn’t the only person they did that to. These guys are playing for keeps, it’s serious business, and the attack on Trump now that he’s running for president again, after the intelligence agency coup that removed him from office the first time, is the choice form of punishment. Rather than a messy killing as they have done before, they are performing a kind of public hanging on a massive world stage to send the message to all others who might follow what could happen to them if they dare interfere in the schemes of those in power, the real power that the globalists think they are entitled to. Just like the rigged elections, the message here is that they control the interpretation of law and order, and if they can come after Trump, they can come after anybody. So, everyone better watch out. But by stripping Trump of his public power with public shaming and death by a thousand cuts, like the stoning of Zechariah, these global forces who are running the Biden administration hope to send a message that stops populism in the world, for good. This is why this indictment in Florida is so radically abrasive to common sense. 

Yet I’m grateful that there is someone like President Trump out there, who is actually bigger than the situation and expects to win under this type of scrutiny. I could write thousands of books and not show the world such an example of corruption as that applied against Trump, who is being treated like the many killed prophets from the chronicle of Biblical text. We rarely get to live history in this fashion or cross a juncture such as this. Because, unlike those many prophets that were killed so that the powerful could preserve their power, there is an assumption in America that the powerful have no right to rule. Yet they are exerting their power anyway and don’t care how it makes people feel, which has an element of panic to it. If Trump doesn’t go quietly away into the night, what happens then? There has never been such an occurrence in history. Nobody knows; it’s never been done before, especially on such a large stage. I’m just glad we have President Trump to dispute this assumed world of the powerful and their fantasies that they have a right to rule over everyone, even in America. It has forced them to come out of their hiding places to attempt an execution of Trump, as has always been the preferred method of holding power, as history clearly shows. But this time, it’s different. This time it takes someone with a unique personality and independent wealth to challenge that system and force them to show their cards. And the effort is teaching all of civilization the reality of their oppressors. That makes Trump more than a martyr for the cause of freedom but an instrument of war against such tyranny. And it’s too late to put all that back in the bottle again. People are watching and learning, which has all confirmed the ugly truth about the nature of power in America. It violates our laws and the core essence of our country. And now, many more people are prepared to stand up to it, perhaps for the first time in human history, which is a significant development.

Homophobia, Transphobia, and Kings Island: I’m tired of being hit on sexually wherever I go

How bad is it out there? Well, it’s pretty ugly. We have a pornography culture that some of these kids have never otherwise known, and now they have been taught in their public schools that all kinds of alternative sex practices are perfectly healthy and encouraged. They are taught that self-expression sexually is a good thing, so of course, we now see a society reflect those traits. And it was never more evident to me than in a recent trip to Kings Island, the big amusement park near my home in Northern Cincinnati. I was there with my family to see the re-opening of the Adventure Express, a ride that has been around for a while, but they have updated the theming in that part of the park and given everything a fresh paint job. I’ve always loved the ride, and as I often do at the end of a hard week of work in the summer, I like to meet my family there to ride a few roller coasters and have some dinner around the Eiffel Tower. I have been to Paris with my family and honestly prefer the Eiffel Tower at Kings Island to the one in Paris any day. So that is where I like to blow off the stress of a hard week at Kings Island. So I’m there at the park with my two daughters, their kids, my wife, and one of my sons-in-law, and we wanted to check out all the cool new things at the Adventure Express. It was a very nice day, the park had low attendance, so most of the rides were walk-ons. What could go wrong? 

Well, all my grandkids wanted to take turns riding with me. They had already been there all day, and when they think of adventure, they think of me, so they all wanted time to ride together with me, but each wanted a turn to ride with me on this epic ride that reminded them so much of Indiana Jones. That is after all the ride’s history back when Paramount Studios owned the park. That Adventure Express was designed to be an Indiana Jones ride reflective of the mine car chase from the movie Temple of Doom. And in the ride queue, they used to play music from the Indiana Jones movie The Last Crusade. So the kids wanted to ride it multiple times, and we ended up riding it 12 times. But it started off very uncomfortably.

I had been wearing an expensive business suit that day, and when I got to the park, I took off the jacket and my tie. I unbuttoned my shirt because it was hot out; I figured people were walking around half-undressed from the water park anyway, so why not. As we were going through the line at Adventure Express to get to the usher who tells people which car to get into, a very small young man was having a hard time speaking to us. I told the kid that we had six at our party, my three grandchildren, myself, one of my daughters, and my wife. He was openly gushing in a sexual way and staring at my chest with my shirt unbuttoned, and fanning himself flamboyantly. He said, “Oh my gosh, oh my, that is just too much, oh my, your shirt. It’s so breathtaking,. I repeated that we had six people. I was trying to contain the incident because it was strange for the little ones. They just wanted to ride this ride with their grandpa; they weren’t prepared for some kid trying to pick him up in a sexual way. He couldn’t have been much older than 16, so there were all kinds of things wrong with this exchange. 

After several uncomfortable moments, the train was looking for passengers, so he pointed us where to go while still fanning himself, holding that stick they use to measure kids’ height before riding. My daughter noticed all this and laughed about it as we sat because it was entirely too obvious.   But this wasn’t the only time this had happened recently. On a family trip to the Mellow Mushroom in West Chester, which is a fancy pizza place, they have really good Hawaiian Pizza; our waiter was a drag queen and was significantly over the top gay, and made his intentions toward me very obvious.   He kept talking about how he loved my hat and how strong and sexy I looked, and my family was sitting right there. It was bizarre and uncomfortable. I downplayed it, we had our pizza, and we left as soon as possible. The waiter acted like he wanted to be sexually pleasured right there at our table; he had no reservations about openly expressing himself. I felt bad for the management, as I did for the Kings Island crew too. If they tried to correct the behavior, they would be called discriminatory toward alternative sexual deviants. So they were being forced to pick their poison, which was just another reminder of how bad this modern social system was. 

I hate to say I’m used to that kind of thing, but I handled it all so my kids and grandkids would not be damaged for life. I will do something regardless of who is in the way if I want to do something. And if I want to have fun with my family, I will, even if some perverted people try to wreck the experience. But it’s becoming much more common. I remember when you had to be 18 to experience any kind of sexual material, and now, it’s out in the open with an almost gleeful disregard for family values. Desecration is on their minds, and they have been trained to be activists for that cause. The kid at Kings Island, at any other time, would have either been fired for sexually harassing the guests, or he would have contained his attraction to older males, obvious father figure issues that many young people have these days due to the failures in the social network, not enough good dads in the homes and kids lost as to how to behave as pending adults properly. I felt a little sorry for the kid, to be honest. And since we rode the ride another 11 times, I had to see him a lot. And I tried to keep things light and lofty and overlook the obvious sexual tension. But he was visibly shaken by the presence of masculinity for many reasons. And it would have otherwise ruined our visit to the park. Yet we see this kind of thing everywhere these days, and much more often because our culture has encouraged it much to the desecration of civility. It would have been wrong even if the kid was a girl. Nobody in that age group should be hitting on men over 50. They really shouldn’t be thinking about sex of any kind. They should be learning something, doing something, and working hard to earn money to build a good life. But the failure of our times is our public education system, media culture, and politics that have encouraged kids like that to behave that way. And the cost of it all is yet to come.
