My Review of ‘Putin’s Playbook’: Rebekah Koffler nails the most elusive threat in the world

Every now and then, you read a book that is just jaw-dropping good, and that is what Rebekah Koffler’s book Putin’s Playbook is. Usually, these days when I read a book, I’ve read thousands at this point, so I usually only learn three or four things per book, which isn’t much considering each one takes 10 to 20 hours to read. But this one had around 30 new things that I learned or hadn’t thought about before. I picked it up because of Steve Bannon on the Warroom podcast. Bannon usually has excellent references for books, and because of all the Russian stuff these days, I thought it might be a good idea to read Rebekah’s book. She was, after all, one of the top DIA intelligence officers who often briefed the top VIPs of our nation and often members of the White House directly. Hearing from her what kind of person Vladimir Putin was would help understand the Ukraine situation. After all, Rebekah was a native-born Russian and moved to America for all the right reasons. She was in a great position to understand the Russian view of the world, so I approached her book as one of those learn a few things books but had no expectation for it to be as good as it was. It’s so good I would recommend everyone buy it and take a week off work to read it once it comes. It will be some of the best time you will ever spend on anything. We are in an information war presently, so the more information you can consume and explain to others, the better your side is prepared to win that war. 

I was not surprised to read about a person I have talked about for a long time in Putin’s Playbook, Yuri Bezmenov, the well-known ex-KGB spy who came to America to warn us about what the Soviet Union was doing to convert America from a capitalist country to a communist one with a four-step plan. I have covered Yuri a lot, there are many YouTube videos about him, and he was even featured on one of the latest Call of Duty games. He is not science fiction or conspiracy theory. What he warned the world of was a real threat and still is. But people didn’t listen to him, and I didn’t understand why until reading Rebekah’s book. It’s a mystery I have been wondering about for four decades. And that mystery extended into the way Ayn Rand was treated. And Cleon Skousen. It’s not that people weren’t warned about communism from the Soviet Union trying to infiltrate our culture. Heck, the entire Democrat Party is a production of the Russian spy network that has been at work in the United States since 1919. Yet, our top officials never seemed to really care. Ronald Reagan cared, and many on the left hated him for it. They wanted communism in America, and they brought it into our culture in all the ways these writers warned. So why didn’t our government work harder to listen to them? Well, that is the compelling part of Rebekah’s story. The part that I didn’t know confirmed many suspicions I have had for a long time.   

It turns out that the real villain in the world is not Vladimir Putin. Sure, he wants to destroy America and everyone in it. Since he was a boy, he has wanted to do that because that’s what Russians do. They don’t have any words in their language for “fun,” so they look at the West as a decadent society of happy people that they want to destroy. It’s in their nature to do so; it’s purely cultural. One of the hardest things that the Russian spy network has always tried to figure out is how to emulate Americans while infiltrating our society. For the Russian-born working for the KGB, how do you convincingly simulate the American life of a carefree attitude about everything? In Russian culture, privation is an honor. To show how much you can endure is a measure of success. In America, they lived to have fun. They worked to have fun and buy things that were fun. Their aim in life was to be happy. How was a Russian supposed to simulate that trait when they had no point of reference for it? It’s a real problem for them and continues to be today. So, they’d love to get rid of us from the face of the earth. They have no desire to live in peace with America under any circumstances. But no, that’s not the most significant threat mentioned in Putin’s Playbook. No, the greatest threat to America by Russian attack is our American bureaucracy. 

Of course, that is a theme for me, but it was great to hear someone else say it, someone, who has worked with the top people in our government and understood the most dangerous people in the world intimately. It’s not the bad guys out there we have to worry about. Still, it’s their creations, the political left, and more specifically, the administrative state they have built from the ground up through years of communist influence starting with our education systems, then our businesses, and ultimately how our government functions. I have talked about the socialist movements in America going back to the Bellamy book Looking Backward, in 1888. But I didn’t know that Russians were trying to infiltrate the United States just two years into their Revolution in Russia under Lenin. That explains a lot. As I said, I already knew about Yuri, Cleon, and Ayn Rand. I didn’t realize just how effective their communist intentions already were within our own culture at the level of bureaucracy. Rebekah didn’t mean to expose all this; she just wanted to help her adopted homeland win the war in the world against the aggressors that were in it, like Vladimir Putin.    But it’s not Putin who we have to worry about; it’s the administrative state created by the political left in America. Now, it has made such a mess that the world terrorists who want to dominate the world no longer worry about America. Because they have built the bureaucracy in America from the ground up and know that it has paralyzed ambition to the point of ineffectiveness, this is why with Biden in the White House, Putin has made his move on Ukraine and is not worried at all about retaliation. Because he has given the West the poison they plan to fight him with; they are only entirely paralyzed to beat the Russians at a game they created over 100 years ago. Ultimately Rebekah was fired from her job, not for being incompetent. But because she was the opposite. She was too good, and the world of mediocrity, which spy agents have infiltrated America with, could not stand for exceptionalism to force their performance higher. So, they plotted at the DIA to get rid of Rebekah, and eventually, they did on some manipulated technicalities. The bureaucracy wanted to preserve its mediocrity from people like Rebekah Koffler, and ultimately that has become the policy of American politics.   They did the same thing to Trump. They intend to do it to us all. The fight isn’t over there in Ukraine; it’s down the road at the license bureau and the courthouse. It’s in our capitals, federal and state. It’s in our education institutions. And it’s on our nightly news. Everywhere, bureaucracy establishes a culture and is far more dangerous than Putin or any other modern character. And that is also why they want us to look at Ukraine while the real threat percolates right under our noses in an attempt to take over the entire world again and rule us all through mediocrity and a centralized state.

These Loser Politicians Don’t Represent Me: Only preventing election fraud can fix the economy, Ukraine, border security, and the other problems in the world

This is precisely why we must have very secure elections. Obviously, all those losers who have supported open elections, elections by illegal residents, early voting, and elections with no voter ID intended to cheat to get people elected who otherwise wouldn’t have a chance. After what we have seen since 2020, we must be a lot more careful about our election process. We cannot assume that people will do good things domestically and follow the rules.   Because without tight security on our elections, we have seen that malicious people will have a field day. It wasn’t just the 2020 election, but likely every election for the last two decades. I might not have believed that until I spent much of 2021 traveling all over the country. The election results reflected in our House and Senate are media creations, not actually representatives of real people. There is only one way that could have happened, through massive election fraud over a long period. A systematic acceptance of cultural election fraud by the political class knowing that there is profit in the game for them to keep the system of chaos that they currently have.

I have to say that because we are all being pushed into having an opinion about the Russian invasion of Ukraine as if we only have one of the two teams at play to pick from. Do we support the United Nations’ creation of Ukraine, or do we support the gay-hating Russians who are putting nationalism before global peace at all costs? International peace means surrendering everything to the Desecrators of Davos, you know, “you’ll own nothing and like it,” people. That’s not a good option. And Vladimir Putin has made it his reason for living to destroy the United States. That’s not a good pick either. I don’t like either option. I feel very sorry for the people of Ukraine caught in the crossfire of bad politics. But join the club. We are all victims of that to a large extent. I don’t support any of the dumb politicians making so many mistakes in America, that’s for sure. These losers who have run up the debt kept an out-of-control Fed that blew up our economy with unjustified trillions of unrepresented money on the fed’s balance sheet don’t deserve sympathy. The stupidity of the Biden administration is beyond rationalization; I didn’t vote for that loser. And I didn’t vote for many of those Desecrators in the House and Senate who tell us that anti-American sentiment is the wave of the future. Many of those elected representatives were only elected through fraud, blue state governors, and lax election laws that otherwise would have kept them from office. I’ve seen the American people up close, and they aren’t voting for losers like this. Only through falsified paper ballots and coordinated election fraud like Facebook was caught conducting could these people actually win an election.

We aren’t obligated to get behind these people just because we are all Americans. This isn’t a “team America” kind of thing where we have some patriotic obligation to rally behind the United Nations debacles in Ukraine. The stupidity of the politicians that we have seen in America, especially lately, can only be prevented with secure elections. And we have not had secure elections. We have been taken advantage of by the political class. They have betrayed our trust, and now they are purposely wrecking the economy, letting in a wave of invasive illegal immigrants into America through the southern border. What is going on between Mexico and America is far worse than the Russians invading Ukraine. We are supposed to care about the Ukraine border when there is no concern given at all about the border of the United States. Only stupid people would suggest anything else. Or people deliberately trying to undermine the United States.

Whatever the case, only secure elections can protect us from this kind of management malpractice. The way our politicians have handled things does not represent me.   I reject the way they have expressed America to the world as losers. Biden and Harris don’t represent me. But it’s not just Democrats and socialist-oriented progressives like Bernie Sanders and the bartender AOC. Mitch McConnell doesn’t represent me. Rob Portman doesn’t represent me. The corrupt Ohio governor and United Nations spokesman Mike DeWine doesn’t represent me. I don’t have an obligation to stand behind any of those losers, especially when they show themselves as an embarrassment to the world. 

I can deal with being cordial to people I didn’t vote for if others honestly voted for them. After all, we have a republic, not just some damn flea-bitten “democracy,” as we are told all the time. If people vote for some of these liberals, so be it in a representative government. But we are not following leaders in America. We are not obligated to support losers. We elect representatives, and if the elections are not secure, how can a republic function at all. Just because a candidate is illegally put in power, it doesn’t mean that automatically people will follow that person like some invisible rules of chess where elite capture means you win the game. We elect people to do a job as our representatives on a matter. And what we are seeing nationwide, especially over these last few years with massive mistakes over Covid and now this disaster in foreign policy with Ukraine, Afghanistan, Iran, and China, is not reflective of America. America didn’t vote for these people. Election fraud does not count as a win. The people can possess the seats, but its quite apparent that they don’t represent real people at the ballot box, and if we can’t prove that or secure that, then we have nothing as a country.   Of course, the enemies of America will laugh and say, “that’s right, you have nothing.” Klaus Schwab, George Soros, Larry Fink, Bill Gates, and many others from the Desecrators of Davos want the downfall of America. They have targeted us for attack, and they are doing it now. While we look at Ukraine every day and all the sadness that a video camera can show us, where were those cameras during Covid when suicide rates spiked up to ridiculous levels? Where we destroyed trillions of dollars of global economic value? When the government attempted to supersede our American constitution with vaccine mandates that only helped the pharmaceutical companies who put money in their campaigns? Where is the justice when a scumbag lier like Jussie Smollett gets out of jail after just a few days while January 6th protestors remain in prison after more than a year and all their “due process” is ignored completely? If illegally obtained representatives are put in place, this is the kind of world it produces. Only a corrupt society could produce this much nonsense, and I would point to the lack of security of our elections that has enabled it to occur. In the future, we need poll watchers at every voting place. We must have a photo ID. We must have one day with limited hours. We cannot trust mail-in ballots. We cannot just blindly trust voting machines because we have seen there is intent from foreign actors to tamper with our elections, and we can’t put anything past anybody. We can’t have doubts on election day, ever again. We must treat our elections with the utmost seriousness in security and assume that everyone has hostile intent because often they do. And it is then and only then that we can say we are one nation. The goofball politicians we have in office presently, screwing up the economy, Ukraine, everything, are on their own. They don’t represent me at all.

The Four Enemies of America: Happiness is always the key to destroying “elite capture”

Even with all the scary stuff going on in the world, I see it mainly as a good thing. It’s good to see where all the bad guys are and understand their motivations. One thing that can be said about modern society as opposed to previous cultures is that this is the first time in all of human history where we can get around the world in under a day and speak to each other in real-time. So naturally, with that comes significant problems since most of the world does not have a lifestyle like Americans do, which has the goal of the day to pursue happiness. For instance, there is no word in the Russian language for “fun.” While Americans wake up and work hard every day to pursue fun, most of the rest of the world, from London to Singapore, are worried about just getting food. Happiness is not the daily goal of most of the world, and that becomes obvious as you travel to even the most far-flung reaches airplanes can reach. And that world now suddenly thrown together through technology to deal with each other every day, without oceans to separate them are looking jealously at America and either wanting to be more like it, or for those who crave power, to destroy it so to preserve their ability to stay in power and to play the chess game by the rules of yesterday. In the past, military strength defined this ability; today, it’s the administrative state, the Dr. Fauci types who want to rule the world not with tanks and weapons, but rules and regulations.

There are essentially four primary factions worldwide targeting America for demise to protect their aims for power traditionally defined. The concept of self-rule by a happy society that ignores the world’s rules does not make the administrative state types happy. They continue to believe, and we are seeing it presently, that elite capture will destroy America because they don’t understand Americans. To the world, they learned these games through activities like chess, where specific rules defined military warfare. Once you captured the king in the game, it was a checkmate, game over. Whoever does so wins the game. They don’t understand about this game with America because they have no reverence for a king, that the pawns, the knights, and bishops run around independently and keep playing long after the king has been captured. Americans don’t have any genuine regard for authority, so society will move on as a culture if the king is captured. We’ll find someone else to deal with the administrative state so we can continue to enjoy March Madness, Super Bowls, Baseball, and apple pie. So the strategy of capturing through bribes, extortion, or philosophic motivation senators like Mitch McConnell or presidents like Joe Biden has no impact on everyday Americans. They are not looking for leadership. They just expect politicians to keep unhappiness out of their daily lives. And when happiness is disrupted, that’s when Americans get mad and start grabbing for guns or talking about it anyway. 

Those four factions in the world presently who are attempting this elite capture strategy are, of course, the Chinese who think about destroying America every hour of every day of the week. They plan to restore the power and respect of the past to Chinese society, and they can’t do that until America is gone. So they will never amicably work with America unless the aims of the interaction serve their purposes for war. Russia is much in the same mind as China. Vladimir Putin thinks every day and every hour of those days of ways to destroy America. In Russia, they have no other hobbies. They assert national respect as their highest aim, and they are happy to be miserable to do it. Privation to them is an honor. They are not looking for a happy life as we define it in America. They just want to win at all costs.

Then there are the Desecrators of Davos people from the World Economic Forum. They are the old Socialist International people. They plan to rule the world without a country using the United Nations as their bureaucratic arm. They aim to make America, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Europe, China, everyone dance to their tune through finance. Then, of course, the fourth group, the Aristocracy of Money, the monied class funded with an unholy government relationship directly with Wall Street. This was the very danger that Thomas Jefferson warned Alexander Hamilton about, and for which President Jackson had to fight off the federal central bank run by Nicholas Biddle. It’s far worse now than it was in Jackson’s day, and they very much think they run everything in the world through manipulative finance printed with quantitative easing. 

All those factions think they are playing chess against each other with the fate of America as the prize at the end of the game. They all believe they will beat each other to that treasure. But what they don’t understand is that Americans will never go along with it. Sure, some like the mask-wearing liberals out there who were so easily suckered by Dr. Doom’s Covid nonsense from the perspective of a global administrative state will do whatever the winners of the game want. But there are way too many people who just will never follow the rules of any of those global powers. Mankind spent thousands of years getting away from those chess-playing fanatics. Technology doesn’t take away the original intent of escape from oppression. People aren’t suddenly going to fall under the direction of whatever culture of those four wins the game for dominion of the world.

Rather, even thinking in such ways is very infantile and lacks the perspective of what human beings really think. America is an evolution of the human state of consciousness, not a conquerable option. And that’s what all the bad guys in the world are missing. America is great despite its “elite” representatives. If the bad guys happen to capture our administrative officials like in chess, there isn’t a checkmate; game over. The game continues because the pawns aren’t playing by those rules. There is no defined victory for the players because the people affected aren’t thinking along those lines. They don’t do what a leader tells them to. In America, we put leaders in place to pursue other happy thoughts. And if that life is taken from us, well, then that’s where things get bad. That’s when Americans start storming capitols and driving trucks around Washington D.C., making things uncomfortable for corrupt politicians who have sold them out. So long as there are happy things in the world, the administrative state can exist so long as ordinary people don’t waste their time on those activities. But in America, the goal is happiness, and that expectation evolved over thousands of years. And there is no putting it back in the bottle now. Just as Russians have no word for “fun,” Americans can’t understand the purpose of life without the pursuit of happiness being at the center of everything. They don’t live to serve a master. They live to pursue happiness. And there is no force in the world anywhere that will change that, much to the frustration of the enemies of America.

Ron Howard and Klaus Schwab Attack Boeing: A new Netflix documentary exploits people to attempt to kill American capitalism

With all the talk against Boeing, the great American airline manufacturer that the liberal Ron Howard directed hit piece tried to utilize from the high moral ground, the effort has one central message. The world needs to convert its values from shareholder capitalism to stakeholder capitalism the way the Desecrators of Davos view it. The new Netflix documentary that is now streaming that tells a story of Boeing’s 737 MAX safety concerns is all about painting Boeing as a company that fell from grace due to its greed in trying to stay competitive with the Airbus A320 and that its focus on short term profits was what killed hundreds of people in two crashes that occurred in the new plane, one in Indonesia, and another in Ethiopia. The Hollywood hit piece comes at the problem from a political point of view. It attempts to exploit the deaths of innocent people in a way that sells the Klaus Schwab view of the world from the Desecrators of Davos and not the get it done mentality of American manufacturing. It’s really a disgusting movie made by people attempting to apply Covid safety rules to the stock value of Boeing and shove them into the woke world of progressive logic as only radical leftists understand them. A lot is going on in what went on with the Boeing 737 MAX and the world of safety surrounding it. But remember what I say all the time, the rules of the world are made by the losers, meaning, those who can’t compete with the good in the world make rules for themselves to penalize the best and make them more equal to the lazy, the timid, and the socially awkward. 

Boeing and Airbus have a problem when it comes to making plans for a newly created for a smaler world where air travel to even far-flung places in the world is suddenly possible, in a relatively short period. This has pushed all these plane manufacturers to massively automate these fancy new planes in ways that wouldn’t even be conceivable a few years ago. Traditionally, a company like Boeing almost exclusively had pilots flying their planes from military backgrounds. Their pilots had been flying planes for decades in the military dime, so when there were continuous improvement opportunities, pilot feedback with the engineering staff allowed for adjustments as a plane matured in a program. But these days, with all these new planes entering the market, the pilots from places like Indonesia and Ethiopia are coming from backgrounds where flying planes weren’t a reality. So the training of new pilots has to be significantly simplified, and every possible contingency needs to be worked out that takes away the possibility of pilot error. That is how the anti-stall system was put on these new MAX jets from Boeing so that new pilots without the benefit of years of training could fly these planes much easier. In the case of Boeing, their anti-stall system malfunctioned, which contributed to the crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia. When sensors on the plane detected a stall condition during flight, the system took over the pitch from the pilots and pushed the nose down. The pilots, unsure how to deal with that condition, fought the flight controls, but the planes nose-dived from the air into a crash because of all the robust automation they didn’t know how to override. It’s kind of ridiculous that their expert for this film to establish moral character as if he spoke for all pilots is a guy who crashed his plane in New York.

The real problem was automating the flight systems due to pilot training limits. In the great race between Airbus and Boeing between these new fuel-efficient planes, Airbus has had better luck at adopting their aircraft to the needs of automation. Boeing, used to a significant relationship between pilots and engineers built on American military experience, had engineered some single-point failures that have proven to be costly. It certainly wasn’t on purpose. But the point of the Ron Howard documentary wasn’t to see the situation as an accident in a rapidly changing marketplace, but an intentional killing of innocent people because Boeing was too interested in profits. And that if only we had a society that didn’t worry about shareholder value as much as they do, those people would still be alive. The movie written in the way that all communists think assumes that if there were more employees in the labor union at Boeing, that if there were more quality inspectors, and if Boeing had been willing to ground the MAX jet instead of competing with Airbus for market share, that all those lives would still be with us. The assumption was that Boeing killed those people in their airplanes because they were greedy and only cared about their company’s stock value. The other assumption which wasn’t said but was heavily implied was that in a world of stakeholder capitalism, which is essentially state-controlled communism where a strong central authority runs everything, lives would be saved, and everyone would live happily ever after. 

Even more than that, this movie, Downfall: The Case Against Boeing, is an attack on great American industry and a swipe at the traditionally get it done mentality of enterprise. As liberals who do everything in life behind the safety blanket of armchair quarterbacking, they never plan to take responsibility for anything, as all liberals are prone to do. They are the first to preach about the morality of something, but when their side is guilty of sex trafficking, or drug abuse, they point to institutional failure and not themselves. In the case of Boeing, they want to bring down the concept of the CEO with large salaries and to replace them with state central control, to federalize big companies like Boeing so that safety can be imposed, and the temptations to play with people’s lives will be averted. They don’t tell you that their solution to the problem is not to build the planes. They plan to let the market rot and to use safety to hide the incompetence of all involved. To use rules and regulations to protect the inefficient from any expectation that might come from competition. To bend the world to the limits of the slow, the not very smart, and the timid. Boeing was a company built on risk, on American innovation, and when you didn’t get it right the first time, horse sense allowed you to survive to the next day, and everyone worked together to make things better. But when dealing with a global enterprise, which is what aviation is these days, we deal with people from all kinds of backgrounds. And the challenge is to simplify everything for them by making everything more complicated at the end of the system. And when you don’t figure everything out the first time, bad things can happen. Yet instead of understanding that, Ron Howard and the gang are more interested in introducing the Klaus Schwab view of the world, removing shareholder capitalism from consideration and replacing it with stakeholder capitalism. Because when the state controls Boeing, as liberals plan to impose on them, there won’t be any expectation of profits from a Boeing stock. Instead, the value will be that people are working, subsidized by the state, of course, and that safety will be first, even if that means not building and delivering the planes to the market. To the socialists and communists of the world, the market can wait. After all, safety is the most important thing, even if that means that the rest of the world has to slow down to those limits and that they will learn to like it. Whenever a lefty suggests that Americans do things too fast and too recklessly, that is what they are really after. In the case of American business, it should make us all sick to our core because it’s not just an assault on a great American company, but an assault on us all and the greatest country on earth and their core beliefs.

Jim Renacci is the Trump Candidate for Governor in Ohio: The corrupt DeWine counts on the swamp to protect him in a low turnout primary

I know it’s tough. Nobody likes Mike DeWine, the current Governor of Ohio. Even the establishment Republicans who have kissed his ring and endorsed him through the State Central Committee. Everyone I talk to would like to vote for an option, but they think the reality is defined by corruption and that DeWine’s money machine will win in the primary no matter what happens with Jim Renacci. Since the primary is near, I must remind everyone of how it was in 2016 when Trump was on the ticket. All the same, characters were backing John Kasich. He was the establishment guy, the unbeatable goliath. Trump didn’t stand a chance.

Nobody cared because Trump was just an old television celebrity who wrote a few books when I went to events and met Trump. In the political world, that’s how they saw him. What did he know about politics? I would go to VIP events and see seat reservations for all the well-known area Republicans who went unfilled. The people who ended up sitting in those seats were truck drivers, factory workers, and other pick-up truck driving, flag-waving patriots who were there for the same reason I was, to vote for a guy who most represented us, not the Deep State Swamp. Of course, after Trump beat Kasich in Ohio, the political world was shattered, and those empty seats quickly filled with supporters who were nudging in front of me to get a picture with President Trump. I didn’t care. I was happy to see it. Trump brought unity to the Republican Party in ways I had never seen before, and as for John Kasich, he disappeared from the earth quickly. Where is he today? Well, he and Dr. Fauci are likely in a hot tub together someplace hiding from the world, which would be good advice for them.

If the Trump Republicans show up to vote for Jim Renacci in the May primary, DeWine will be defeated. I know the risk is that whoever comes out against DeWine will be remembered. He’s like that. He is a powerful politician not because he is good but because he runs his place in the Republican Party like a mob boss. Get on his bad side, and you’ll find yourself swimming with the fishes. He won’t physically kill you. He’s a shrimpy little man and would be easy to swat away. But he has made up for that over the years with political command of the world around him.   There is a reason Ohio is the first state in corruption among all 50 states. It’s not just the FirstEnergy scandal driven by greenie weenie assaults on Ohio’s power grid; it’s because of how Mike DeWine runs his political circles. Nobody wants to work with Mike DeWine the day after an election where they got caught speaking out against him. It’s a huge risk to their careers. I get it. But just remember, fortune favors the bold, and the way politics is supposed to work is that these politicians work for us, not the other way around. Mike DeWine is number 1 in corruption because of this sentiment. He uses politics to gain power he doesn’t otherwise have, which we saw firsthand during Covid. Mike DeWine ran Ohio during his first term as Governor well to the political left of most Democrats. He runs as a conservative but the minute he wins an office; he legislates to the extreme left. 

I said months ago this was how it would be; all kinds of good Republicans smell the blood in the water and think they can beat DeWine because he’s so weak politically because of how terribly he destroyed people’s lives during the Covid shutdowns. Mike DeWine was just as bad as even the worse of the Blue State governors. In many ways, DeWine led all governors into the shutdown protocols, which opened the door for the massive devastation that occurred to Ohio businesses during Covid. Even more troubling, Mike DeWine asked the legislature for emergency powers a year before Covid happened in 2020.   DeWine has a history of serving the United Nations much more than he does the United States, and he seems to be involved in every Deep State scandal with his ear to the wind. We’ve seen some scary stuff from Mike DeWine during his first term as Governor of Ohio, and we have a chance to remove him and put someone much better in power. Someone much more Trump-like, or even more specifically, like Ron DeSantis of Florida. With Jim Renacci, we have a chance to have a candidate like that. If the Trump supporters show up on primary election day and vote, Mike DeWine wouldn’t have a chance. To me, it’s a low-risk endeavor. But the traditional machine politicians who have thrown themselves behind Mike DeWine know that primaries don’t have typical voters in them. They are the Central Committee types who care about politics seven days a week, not just one time a year or every four years like what we see in popular elections. So for them, voting for Renacci is a gamble many of them can’t afford to lose because it’s all about voter turnout, which they don’t think will be very robust.

Jim Renacci, who I have gotten to know a bit over the years, is the only candidate for Governor in Ohio who can call President Trump any time he wants. Blystone is a good guy in this Governor’s race. And I like Candace Keller and others who want to get involved. But in a tight race, and this is what the DeWine people know, all those challenges are going to split the rebellion vote, meaning the smart money will be left behind DeWine, and the Governor would then win a second term, even though he doesn’t come close to deserving it. DeWine has played this game before. He knows what the other establishment Republicans know, that primary elections are low voter turnout endeavors, and people likely won’t be thinking about Trump. So they will be shy to rally behind Jim Renacci and vote for him in the primary. The actual die-hards who want to see change and reform will split their votes up among the other challengers because none of them could get their act straight before the election, and chaos prevails, giving us more of Mike DeWine. That is how corruption stays in power. That is why we still have Mitch McConnell as the projected leader in the Senate. That is why more people in Congress do not fight to defend our border from illegal immigration. That is why the Swamp just gets deeper and deeper in Washington. In the end, the Swamp is deep because people keep voting for it. The fault ultimately falls on the voters for supporting it in elections like this one. People complain about how corrupt Mike DeWine is and how it would be great to get rid of him. They know that the 20 billion investments from Intel are coming to Ohio despite Mike DeWine, not because of him. Ohio is a great place. It just has had bad, bad governors, from John Kasich to now the extreme leftist from Yellow Springs hippie town, Mike DeWine. And with a perfect alternative right in front of our faces in Jim Renacci, the only Trump candidate on the ballot, the option we have is evident if only we have the guts to take it. 

There is a difference between supporting Trump and being a Trump candidate. I think most of the DeWine challengers are supportive of Trump. But when I first met Jim Renacci, for the very first time, it was coming off Air Force One with President Trump and Melania; the best First Lady America has ever had. Trump had asked Jim to run against Sherrod Brown in the Senate so that Republicans could gain a seat in the Senate. Jim almost beat the long-time progressive. He came very close. And in this case, DeWine is a very weak candidate. He is very weak with the Republican base, so if we are ever going to take down an establishment RINO, this would be the time. For those who want to vote for Trump and want an Ohio version of Ron DeSantis’s style of government, Jim Renacci is that person.   But first, people have to have the guts to show up and vote in the primary, at a time when most people are thinking about spring and summer and aren’t thinking about politics. It starts with voters. If they stay home and allow corruption to gain another term with Mike DeWine, then who is it to blame? Voters have a chance, but do they have the guts to take it? I certainly think it’s worth doing, and I will be voting for Jim Renacci no matter what, with great enthusiasm.

The Fed Destroyed America’s Money: A monied aristocracy attacks from the fourth branch of unaccountable government

I was elated with the coverage by Tucker Carlson from his show on Friday, 3.11.22. He has had a series of good coverage relative to a corporate news outlet, but this one was different. He was over the target zone of an issue that has been a problem since the start of America. Enemies of America, people I call these days, the Desecrators of Davos have used this natural problem to exploit us all in what many just blankly call the “rich getting richer.” I wouldn’t say I like that term because it demonizes wealth creation.   Like many things that the Desecrators of American culture wish to do, the meaning of wealth has been confiscated by the bad guys so that the leverage is applied against the good guys, the people who actually make the wealth. This was the central problem between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson was vehemently against a central bank in America because he worried that a monied aristocracy would take over the management of American politics. Hamilton, of course, was all for the centralized bank because he saw no other way to stabilize a nation’s currency. Well, all of Jefferson’s concerns were confirmed when Andrew Jackson and the Central Bank President Nicholas Biddle emerged by the 1830s when the second charter of a federal bank had to be renewed. The first was started by Hamilton but expired after a few years. The second expiring during Jackson’s term, for which he fought not to renew it. The worry was always that a class of monied aristocracy would be born from the chaos and take over the lives of the people who actually made the wealth in the first place, the farmer, the tire maker, and the glassblower. Jackson won his fight over Biddle, and for several decades before the Civil War leading up to the Gold Rush, the American economy expanded in great and patriotic ways. But the world was jealous, and they plotted their revenge from the ultimate American independence, which led to the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913 on Jeckle Island.

I’m not against the Fed. I tend to lean toward the Anti-Federalist policies of Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson on most everything. But I understand Hamilton’s argument. Recently since I have read a whole series of books on the Fed, I learned about the real-life Kansas Fed Bank President Thomas Hoenig, who sat on the FOMC board for several years and made the frequent Fed Bank retreat to Jackson Hole to talk all matters of national and international finance. If all twelve members of the Fed were like him, I think the Federal Reserve would be a good thing and could do what America needed. But the Constitution never really dealt with this money issue in controlling a centralized bank. We have ended up with extreme, primarily left-leaning lunatics who believe in the religion of climate change and have been suckered into all these foreign attacks by people like the Desecrators of Davos to undermine our financial system and essentially steal all our wealth as a nation. One example is Larry Fink of BlackRock, who maintained a close relationship with Ben Bernanke during the 2008 financial crisis. He sits now on the Board of Trustees for the World Economic Forum and has been behind the push to use the Fed to print trillions of dollars to pour into Wall Street, which then created assets on the balance sheet that was then sold off to the market. Larry is a radical leftist who has political ambitions, and this has given him lots of power he would never have had. So when people say the rich get richer, this is how it’s done. Those who have control of the Fed can manipulate the system to their advantage, while the people who created the initial wealth have it stolen from them forever. BlackRock has been doing just one specific example of a Wall Street culture that has exploited emergy to give themselves more power. 

And that’s why President Jackson had to fight Nicholas Biddle. The fourth branch of government had been forming under the Central Bank, and it wasn’t accountable to voters in any way, and it had to be stopped. The result was a mess of an economic war that impacted everyone in the country at the time. Things are much worse today, and the corruption of the Federal Reserve is too far down the rabbit hole to pull back without a lot of destruction. There are a lot of Nicholas Biddles connected to today’s Fed, and they’ll have to be defeated. The inflation rate of the present is a direct result of this mismanagement at the Federal Reserve, a gross abuse of power. And as far as the dangers of a fourth branch of government gaining control that was unchecked by voters, we saw it happen in the 2020 election. Once all the smoke clears, this monied aristocracy stole the election from Trump. This group of financial people had to have Joe Biden as president. They had trillions of dollars on the balance sheet with the Fed, there was trillions in transfer payments going to China to build a middle class there, BlackRock leading the charge with stolen money from America’s own Federal Reserve, and there were trillions of dollars of investment already allocated to the religion of green energy to satisfy the World Economic Forum people such as Klaus Schwab. 

I had been thinking about this problem for a while, but all my worries were confirmed when this same group of people pushed the Covid vaccine mandates. After you read all their books, those by Klaus Schwab, the History of the Fed, I and II, The Bank War: Andrew Jackson, Nicholas Biddle, and the Fight for American Finance, and the fantastic book by Christopher Leonard called The Lords of Easy Money, it became obvious what Bill Gates and other climate activists were doing with the vaccines and corporate policy, trying to backdoor the American Constitution under emergency powers and use every company’s HR department as a weapon of compliance for what was to come—a complete transfer of the American economy to China under the guidance of the Desecrators of Davos using printed money from the Fed to perform the heist. That inflated asset bubble gave money managers like BlackRock the ability to buy massive amounts of company stock, such as Disney in entertainment and FirstEnergy in Ohio, power to control their boards and drive them toward progressive causes. Their game plan was revealed through their testbed of Covid. I tend to think that we caught it before it was too late. But the problem remains, we can’t just let the Federal Reserve serve foreign enemies to America as it has been. We can’t allow our money to feed the aims of a political party, the “uniparty,” let’s say, in ways that work against the American people. We can’t put up with stolen elections, bioweapons unleashed to drive social change, and radical maniacs from across the ocean control over all our lives through 401K plans and maniacal plans to take over the world. The money the Fed is supposed to protect belongs to the people who made it. It was not for them to sell off to political radicals like Larry Fink to conduct horrible plans against our nation in all the ways the Founding Fathers warned about. And they were absolutely correct in their concerns. Now we have this battle before us again, and it will be harder to deal with than the one Jackson was tasked to engage. But we must do it.

Why Gas Prices Are So High: It has nothing to do with Putin

I will explain it in great detail in the days to come, the whole situation with Ukraine and Russia. But it remains the Desecrators of Davos who are the real villains in the world, and they use these color revolutions around the world to inspire chaos while hiding in the shadows. But they are responsible for the high gas prices in the United States. Not Putin. The Desecrators of Davos are attacking Putin in the same way they have been attacking traditional America. The attack vector is the same. Oh, sure, Wall Street has been defensive this past week, especially in the wake of the attacks on Ukraine, which I have said from the beginning and continue to say, is just a WWE event. It’s just the latest scam to replace Covid on the world stage and hide the bad intent that global attackers intend for us all. Larry Fink has had his feelers out working the press to try to take away some of the anger that is forming over his ESG score invasion through BlackRock. When these World Economic Forum people came up with these plans to crush the world’s economies so they could profit off the uptick and gain power to run it from the United Nations, they didn’t think about all the anger they would generate. They were doing it. People are mad. They are angry at Wall Street. They are furious at the Federal Reserve for a good reason. Inflation is over 7% presently and is spiraling out of control quickly. Why? Because the Fed purposely created an asset bubble worth more than 8.5 trillion dollars on the Fed’s balance sheet, the only way to deal with it would have been to raise interest rates over the last few years. Instead, they have added 3 trillion to it and continue to add 120 billion per month to help it grow. But it was on purpose, and the people who did it have a lot of bad coming their way. And they are feeling the heat.

But this plan isn’t new. Klaus Schwab said it himself, by 2030, nobody will have private property; we will own nothing and like it. Well, how was that going to happen? People will lose their property, and they are going to like it? By whom, and under what conditions? Well, we are seeing the plan play out with Ukraine. We just had two years of Covid, and from one day to the next, we had an attack by Russia into Ukraine. Provoked by what, well, Kamala Harris went to Europe and urged Ukraine to join NATO, which is a big no, no for Vladimir Putin, and poof, it triggered him into an attack. The Biden administration knew it was throwing gas on a fire, but they needed the distraction if Covid was going away. They needed something to take people’s minds away from what they were doing, which was why they were installed into the presidency, to begin with. The American people didn’t vote for Joe Biden. It was the climate crazies at the World Economic Forum who did. They planned for Hillary to fulfill their plan, and when Donald Trump came along, it threatened to ruin everything. So, they got rid of Trump with massive election fraud, for which there is abundant evidence everywhere. There will be a decertification process because Joe Biden was not elected legally. But the Desecrators of Davos don’t care about American law. They hope to outrun the inevitable. By the time the legal system can install justice, they hope to crush America financially, switch the dollar’s value over to China for a stable currency, and seize all our property and force us to rent everything we experience through them. 

The writing was on the wall long ago. My daughter and I used to argue the merits of the new video game age where all new games are downloaded.   Video game makers wanted to get away from physical copies of games so that everything would be online. And even when you did buy a game, you had to maintain subscriptions to access it. And they would constantly charge you for updates. The video game manufacturers were ahead on the Davos plan for over a decade. Apple Music does much the same thing. They got rid of their iPod music player and now charge a monthly fee to access music. No longer can you buy your favorite music and download it on your player device for personal consumption. Now you must rent the music from them. The minute you don’t pay them money, you lose access to that music. Those were all testbeds to work out the system and condition us for the inevitable. It’s not that Electronic Arts is sitting on the board of some Illuminati meeting planning these things. But they are pushed in those directions by people like Larry Fink, who controls their boards of directors with ESG scores intent on fulfilling progressive political strategies through finance. Once you take money from them, they own you. Or, once they buy up a sizable amount of stock of your company with inflated asset bubbles the Fed created for Fink and the gang, then you lose control of your internal company strategies. Consumers will rent; they won’t own. 

And that is why gas prices are high. These Desecrators of Davos, whom Joe Biden works for, their pick for the White House, and they put him there with election fraud; they intend to eliminate all fossil fuels. Russia still uses a lot of fossil fuels as the basis for their economy, so they provoked him into a fight to gain control of Russia and fossil fuels. And while we were looking at that and blaming Putin for the high gas prices, we would be strangled in America. Our entire economy runs off oil, even planting a field for farming. So, as the Desecrators of Davos fully intend, the way to destroy America is to cut us off from fossil fuels entirely. That is the goal. And once all our wealth is redistributed to the Desecrators of Davos, that value will be transmitted to shadow banks in China, created by BlackRock. The groundwork is already established for this. They don’t intend to lose any money, but the math is easy to figure out with only 300 million Americans and over 1.4 billion Chinese. The Desecrators of Davos will create a new middle-class there and bankrupt the United States with all of us in it. And from there, they intend to rebuild us all back up with credit scores, universal wages, and a rent process that we’ll have for the rest of our lives.

We’ll pay them for everything and will never own anything. But don’t take my word for it. Klaus Schwab said it, and his buddy Larry Fink who is executing it in America along with John Kerry, Al Gore, Bill Gates, and Michael Bloomberg. There are, of course, a lot more, but that’s what we are dealing with. Now it’s up to us if we fall for it. Their plans are not solidified. But we should understand what their intentions are and fight back accordingly. And let them feel the heat because what they are doing, and plan to do, is reprehensible and is a theft of everything we stand for. And we should feel okay about fighting them over it.

The Desecrators of Davos: Vivek Ramaswamy has a plan, and we should listen

One thing that Americans underestimate is just how much people worldwide hate them. They hate them for their concept of “individualism,” which contradicts everything they have been taught, from infants to an elderly state. The idea of individualism is specifically an American idea born under the umbrella of freedom. Most people worldwide do not have that luxury, so they resort to what they know and understand, their placement in the pecking order of existence based on the authority figure of their culture. Americans have a constitution that empowers the individual against government controls, and almost every home from sea to shining sea has a firearm or several in it. We really don’t need a standing army because every home is its own military. So, we tend to have a live and let live policy when it comes to the world. Yet, that world plots and schemes endlessly to take us down by whatever means possible, and they spend time thinking about these things 24 hours a day, seven days a week, forever. They never sleep or stop thinking about it. This is undoubtedly true of Vladimir Putin of Russia. It is very much true when it comes to Xi Jinping of China. Pick your authoritarian ruler anywhere in the world; they are thinking about bringing down America. 

Yet, no group of dictators is more of a threat than what I call the Desecrators of Davos, the members of the World Economic Forum who have hidden quietly in Switzerland and other European countries and intend to rule the world from beyond the rules of governments. They are much more dangerous than Putin or Xi. They control the money and policies to which those authority figures react to. And they have their eyes on America and have for a long time. They have plotted and schemed behind the scenes, ignoring our laws destroying our financial system all within the context of a smile on their faces looking like a bunch of progressive radicals who love socialism and communism across the ocean. But in reality, they have embedded themselves into our political system through finance and are now deploying their long-established plans. When I said that Ukraine and Russia were not the threat we should be paying attention to, I mean that the Desecrators of Davos are much more dangerous. Much more dangerous, and the plot they have revealed to the world, in their own words over the last few years, is much more sinister than anything they are showing us on the nightly news.

In many cases, the corporate networks are in on it because the Desecrators of Davos own their flow of finance. So the employees of those networks will do anything they say, whether they believe it or not. And it is there that we must turn our gaze to defend America from its enemies. 

In many ways, the political left in America is a creation of many years of ruthless dictators shaping policy through a complicated spy network during most of the 20th century. They created a European desire to spread Marxism to every corner of the world. They show themselves in America through the Democrat Party and the RINOs from the Republican side who aren’t very deep thinking and have a higher value in getting along than in standing up for the idea of America, at all costs from enemies both foreign and domestic. I have been thinking about this problem for a long time. Looking behind the curtain at what they don’t want you to look at, and there it is clear what they have been up to. I don’t dislike Wall Street in any way. I don’t think we should end the Fed. But through the actions of the World Economic Forum, penetrations of the political left into all aspects of culture and using the stolen money of the Federal Reserve created through bad policy of quantitative easing, which was then given to people like Larry Fink at BlackRock to buy up American companies with stock buys created by the asset bubble that the Fed created out of thin air, now we can all see the method of attack into America. 

I was headed in this direction before Vivek Ramaswamy wrote his now-famous book on the matter Woke, Inc., and the excellent work he has done at CPAC 2022 puts it all on the table. I have run into Vivek several times over the last year and listened to his pitch in person at the Republican Headquarters in Middletown, Ohio, in May of 2021, and I found his argument compelling. Then he gave a great interview to The Epoch Times at CPAC, and compared to the work I had been doing; it was quite clear that the Desecrators of Davos is the threat we all need to look at to protect America from its latest barrage of enemies. Ramaswamy has a plan, and we need to get behind it and not get distracted by the other events of the world. Specifically, Ukraine. Remember, Kamala Harris went to Europe two days before Russia invaded Ukraine and pushed to make Ukraine a member of NATO, which everyone in intelligence knows is the biggest hot button issue of concern for Vladimir Putin. It’s like knowing that throwing gas on fire will have an explosive effect. The Biden administration, working directly with the members of The World Economic Forum, provoked war between Russia and Ukraine to divert the world’s attention from their genuine desire, controlling all fossil fuels to satisfy their insanely ridiculous plot to make climate change the primary issue in global politics, which they would then control through finance into the world’s biggest companies. 

I understood what Vivek was saying as an insider from Wall Street who had done very well for himself. But he was at a point, much like Donald Trump, where he wanted to give back and do something good. But in practice, we all saw just how manipulative the Desecrators of Davos were when we saw the compliance approach from government mandate to individual companies all over America, with the vaccine mandates. They were eventually found to be unconstitutional, but in September of 2021, nobody really knew how to react, and companies went straight into compliance mode without questioning the politics. It was dangerous, but it did reveal the plot to destroy America coming from the Desecrators of Davos rather than from China or Russia. Who was telling the Biden administration what to do with the vaccines? Was it just pharmaceutical companies looking for a stable government check? Or was it something else? Well, all roads point to the doorstep of the Desecrators of Davos. They are desecrators because they have been funding the destruction of America from the inside out, using our own money and wealth to perform the task. And they think it’s funny. They are cheerful about it, which was evident while watching Davos’s last year’s coverage. As I read Klaus Schwab’s books, listened to him speak, and observed Larry Fink’s behavior of BlackRock, who sits on the board at The World Economic Forum, the threat to America was quite clear. And as I listened carefully, and personally one on one with an insider like Vivek Ramaswamy, it has all become evident. But more than anything was the understanding of what the Fed has been doing to help, as revealed in the excellent book The Lords of Easy Money. A Fed populated with bank presidents who have been suckered into the climate change religion, would they support the strategy of Klaus Schwab and the gang in Davos? You bet they would, and they have.

By the way, Vivek Ramaswamy has a new book coming out this year, (2022) and I think it will be a great one! I’ll be the first one to get it!

The Nixon Conspiracy: It’s much worse now, assassinate the individual to preserve the Beltway

After reading The Nixon Conspiracy, by Geoff Shepard, coming up on the 50th anniversary of Watergate, it is evident that Richard Nixon was a very good man, an excellent president, and that the world owes him an apology. Shepard in 2018 was able to unseal documents that showed the prosecution’s roadmap against President Nixon, which was presented to the Grand Jury at the time, was 100% a political hit. It took him 50 years of research as an original defense team member to gather all the evidence to show it. You might recall that Hillary Clinton was part of the prosecution as a young person then. This case brewed in Shepard all these years as he has spent his life trying to prove that Nixon was innocent and what he found out was that the prosecution really had nothing in their prosecution road map that was the truth. It turned out to be very similar to the modern-day Russian Dossier that Democrats funded; it was wholly made up and withheld from the defense during the time of the trials that put several Watergate conspirators in jail for a bit, G. Gordon Liddy, Howard Hunt, some ex-CIA Cubans, and John Dean. He later flipped his story to the prosecution angle once he realized that the whole thing was a political hit on Nixon that none of them would survive. The cover-up always answered the pressure from the media and a prosecution that conspired with the judges in the case to abandon all due process, particularly the 5th and 6th amendments, and destroy a popularly picked president.  Nixon wasn’t one of them, he was an outsider, and even Republicans wanted him out. So, they used the system to get him out and bring untold destruction to our country, which has never really recovered. 

This is relevant to our present circumstances because we just watched all this happen to President Trump, except on steroids. We did with the Washington D.C. Beltway culture to empower all the malcontents in the same way Vladimir Putin was empowered after invading Crimea to invade Ukraine presently because nobody had responded to him with force when it happened the first time. Putin crossed the red line, and nobody punched him in the face. So, of course, he made more extensive plans for the future, which we see playing out today. I did read Bill Bar’s new book, One Damn Thing After Another, this week and found it wholly unremarkable except for the revelation of what a Beltway type of person thinks, which is how many of the prosecutors and judges got pulled into the conspiracy against Nixon, then Trump in the context of the three branches of government wanting to assassinate the presidency out of sheer resentment by the type of person the people of the country picked to sit there. Barr has a certain arrogance, a belief that the system is more significant than any individual, and a hatred for what the individual represents to the system they have served their whole lives. But more than that, they hate the people who are individuals out there in flyover country who don’t respect their power in Washington. That, in essence, was what Watergate was all about. After the killing of the Kennedys, a new kind of political hit became the latest fashion. And the playbook was tried out on Nixon. It was successful. So it was then applied for the next 50 years culminating in a four-year period of two impeachments, a phony Russia, Russia, Russia investigation against Trump using the exact same methods. And when none of that worked, they pulled the nuclear option with Covid to change laws and rig the election. Bill Barr clearly knows that’s what happened, but like John Dean before him, Barr altered his story to preserve the system at the expense of the individual. Trump needed to be brought down to protect their system at all costs. 

But that system doesn’t serve the people; it serves the Beltway. And when we elect presidents that they don’t like as the popular majority in the nation under the electoral system, the system has created ways to terminate that action because they control the rules and regulations of our land and in the case of the declassified documents from Watergate unsealed in 2018 finally, we see that the prosecution made up the entire narrative and that Judge John Sirica conspired with the prosecution ahead of all court dates to seal the deal before the deal was ever presented. Only so many years later, after some of these people have died away or retired into oblivion, can we see things clearly. And by now, the media has hammered this story into the public consciousness. When people think of Nixon and the Republicans, they think of corruption. The Washington Post reporters who broke this story with the help of Deep Throat, who drove the narrative in public, Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, saw themselves as the fourth branch of government, co-equal. True or not, they would bring down President Nixon and change how the public felt about him. Nixon, a good guy, tried to play fair, but the game wasn’t fair. For him, it was like playing Battleship. The media and the prosecution would send a missile his way, and he blindly had to figure out where it was coming from on the board on the other side. Is it G1 or M24? Eventually, as the impeachment trial kicked into gear in the House, Nixon felt it would be better for America if he resigned. He wasn’t sure if his people had actually screwed up, so he didn’t see any way out of it. He had his share of Bill Barr lawyers telling him to preserve the system at the expense of the individual, so Nixon resigned. He shouldn’t have. He should have fought it out. But that is hindsight talking. He wouldn’t have known just how deeply corrupt the system had been against him. Only 50 years of investigation would reveal that. 

Geoff Shepard has written the most important book on Watergate that has ever been done. All the movies, other books, and countless hours of commentary have been wrong. Just as they turned out to be one-sided against Trump. We are seeing with Watergate assassinations against the people’s right to pick their Executive Office representative. They did it to Nixon. They actually tried to do it with Reagan. Still, after he actually took a bullet from Hinckley in his first term, the Beltway backed off, not wanting to be associated with further public relations issues. Reagan was a skillful actor, and they feared his ability to communicate. But they certainly did it to Bush, who complied like a loser. And Trump was not an option for them; he never was. They were going to teach us all a lesson for voting for him in the first place. And those people are still very much in power. And they won’t give that power up willingly. It will have to be forced from them in very uncomfortable ways. But at least now we know. Geoff Shepard has written the paramount book of the Watergate experience and showed the nation just what a good president Nixon had always been. But the system was too corrupt for him and for the people who picked him. And what we now know is that system is much worse now than it was in Nixon’s day. The corruption now is much, much worse.

The Truth about Truth Social: Worth the wait and the first step in Making America Great Again

I remember it extremely well; it was just over a year ago, relative to the time of this writing, and my wife and I were in Lincoln County, New Mexico. I was exploring the courthouse where Billy the Kid had made his famous escape, and I felt very reflective. I was so angry over the Biden theft of the American presidency. I was even more furious at how the media and liberals had treated Trump over the last four years. In the past, when their people were in the White House, “they” being the Desecrators of America, those who fight to destroy it instead of preserve it, we always treated them with fairness. We always lived by the concept of rule of law and Constitutional limits on behavior. But at that moment, I was thinking very seriously about going Billy the Kid on society in general, so the famous escape from that courthouse was on my mind. Trump had recently been kicked off his Twitter account, and we could see the plot of what many had planned for a long time. We were being hunted as conservatives, and the message was clear. We did not control our own election. We did not control our country. We were going to get Joe Biden, and we were going to like it. And if we resisted, we were going to be banned from all public life and hunted down for the rest of our days. To say I was angry at the world was an understatement. So my wife and I left to live in the deserts of New Mexico for a bit, to get our wits about us once again. I found some sanity in the idea that Trump might start his own social media company and that from there, we would strike back at these dark forces and turn the tables on them for good.

I am incredibly pleased to say that Truth Social is now a reality. I’ve been on it since the first day, and I absolutely love it. It is great to see daily postings from Melania Trump, Dan Scavino, and many other Trump insiders again. I stopped looking at Twitter when they kicked Trump off. Still, now that President Trump has started Truth Social, I can see the path to restoring our country back to greatness because it puts communication and entertainment back under our control.   At that moment in New Mexico that I described, I wondered if things would ever feel good in America again. But now, I’m sure of it. What happened to Trump and many of us who were shadowbanned, or even literally banned from Twitter, Facebook, and from Google in general, are options. We now have the best kind of thing in the world, a choice. A choice in America will defeat every evil intention the world tries to place upon us. When you choose, it forces all the bad stuff to hide in the shadows, which has happened since that year. Revenge has been served through choice.

First, Jason Miller from the Trump campaign started his own social media platform, Gettr, which I think is fantastic. I have been using it almost exclusively.   With all the betrayals of Fox News and even Newsmax, it has been Steve Bannon’s the Warroom that has filled the void for the MAGA movement. And Gettr has been the place to interact with them and other conservative media outlets like Real America’s Voice and OANN. When the Desecrators formed the plan to take down America, they planned for all the media companies to be in the bag with the Davos guys. They had it all set up, making it so that Fox News would be the last to fall, which was evident on election night when they called Arizona right at 8 PM, as there were still voters in line voting. The gig was up, and the other side was spiking the football, thinking the game was over for good. But Trump and the rest of us are not passivists. We turned to our own abilities, which is always the thing to do. If we don’t like what the progressives want to give us, we should just go off and make our own thing. And in doing that, it destroys the plans the other side has. They have no plan B. 

I really like Truth Social, now that it came open at the beginning of March of 2022. I know the line is long, and it’s taking people a long time to get into it. There are millions of people trying to get in, so they are seeping new users in slowly to maintain system stabilization. It took Twitter years to handle its users, and the demand for Truth Social is much more robust. But by the time we have the next election cycle in 2022, there will be millions of people there who are very active in the MAGA movement. There will be plenty of social media alternatives to use, which will keep everyone connected. And that is a relief. A much better situation than what I spoke about from Lincoln County, New Mexico: at that time, something like a Truth Social media platform seemed like a remote fantasy. But I’m happy to report that it is very much a reality. I’ve only been on it for a few days, and I’m already at 2K with followers. I have always been shadowbanned by the big tech companies, and instantly, on Truth Social, you can see that it genuinely is a free-speech platform. It’s a huge difference for me. 

And what’s best, it’s classy. It reminds me of what a Trump property feels like when you visit one. It has a Trump quality that extends beyond the hate and vitriol of the hostile leftist media culture. I think I do a pretty good job dealing with people of all kinds of backgrounds. I can talk to anybody professionally, even the bluest bleeding liberal. But I don’t want to hear from them in my personal time; I don’t want to see them. I want to be away from them as much as possible, and the wimpy little “Tweets” from Twitter were always no fun for me. Places where the entire platform felt like the Santa Monica Pier in L.A. filled with liberalism and a lack of wisdom, were always uncomfortable. It is good to have a quality place like Truth Social that feels slicker, smarter, and bigger. It feels more American than any of the other social media platforms ever have, and that is refreshing and well worth the wait. I’ve been through this process several times, most notably with Glenn Beck’s The Blaze.

I used to be friends with some of the people who started that, and I always had high hopes. But creating a big social media platform seemed on a prohibitive scale. But obviously, it’s not. It only took a year, and now Trump has a place where he can communicate with his supporters, and they can healthily bypass the media. The media and the Desecrators always planned to stick themselves in the middle of that process; now, we have a means of communicating and thinking that steps around those hostile agents. And I can’t say enough good about it. It’s nice to see how far we’ve all come in such a short time. That effort will only grow in the months and years to come. And I’m glad I held it together and kept my temper in check that day in Lincoln County. I think Truth Social is a much more productive way to make things right than what I was thinking.
