When Will the Price of Eggs Come Down: Understanding the basics of economics

It is truly stunning how poor people’s educations are these days, and they don’t understand the basics of economics.   I grew up thinking a lot about Kunta Kinte, the main character from Roots, who was very popular on television during my childhood.  Not that I’m a supporter of the 1619 Project or anything below the line like that, but if I had been growing up during the abolitionist period that led to the Civil War, I would have been a hardcore anti-slavery guy, and I would dare say that if not for the United States, there would still be slavery in the world because that is how the world did business in that period.  I’m pro-freedom for everyone on earth, and I hate authority over anybody as a general policy.  So I found it repulsive while watching Roots that slave owners would cut off the feet of Kunta Kinte so that he couldn’t run away.  Or that enslaved people were not allowed to learn to read, which to me is just as crippling.  Keeping people dumb and disabled is a means of controlling them, and I flat-out don’t like it for anybody.  I spend a significant portion of my life trying to teach people to be brighter so they can taste the benefits of free life as much as possible because that is the heart of the human experience.  And for me, that includes drug use or any kind of dependency.  If it robs people of self-initiative, I am against it.  That is precisely why I have hated our public education system in America since the Department of Education was created, because it was terrible and inspired to make people dependent on other people rather than teach them to be free.  That’s why I have fought against public education most of my life.

However, what we see coming out of this new Trump administration is astonishing regarding how economies work.  The basic laws of supply and demand are not known to people in general, and they want to see why the price of eggs is not lower than it is with the flip of some switch that President Trump controls.  I don’t think the New World Order ever thought someone like President Trump would ever be in the American White House again because they were not prepared for the level of competency that he, as an American business executive, brings to the office.  I don’t see anything that Trump is doing as unusual.  Controlling and cutting costs are the very basics in any business endeavor, and what the Trump administration is doing is essential business.  It’s what we should be doing everywhere.  But it exposes how dumb many people have become because they are modern versions of poor Kunta Kinte.  They may have their feet and be able to read.  However, the wisdom of humans in using those tools has been destroyed by a public education system and a philosophy of globalism in general that has made them no better off in life.  Their years in school have crippled them in just the same way that enslaved people were crippled by their masters for all the same reasons.  And because of that, people don’t understand why prices are so messed up on everything these days, and when Trump says that he is going to fix it, they don’t know that it’s much more complicated than just flipping on a switch and everything returns to normal.  No, we are dealing with government forces who, through policy, have actually destroyed entire market sectors in a wealth redistribution scheme of socialism at large, and the amount of evil involved exceeds what most people can process.

The price of eggs, gasoline, or any consumer goods starts with the burden of an over-regulatory policy that crushes small egg manufacturers out of business and leaves only the corporate conglomerates with massive lobby power in Washington to survive.  They can afford the high prices of eggs because government policies destroy their competition, so they can maintain their margins through a monopoly status.  Especially since COVID-19, when administrative fools made a power grab for global authority and burdened all economic policies so that many companies couldn’t survive.  Many companies went out of business during the Covid period, and many never bounced back after they bought hook, line, and sinker the scam of Covid protocols, all the work-from-home nonsense, elimination of multi-shift fulfillment, and a transportation industry desperately looking for over the road truckers to keep everything in the American economy moving at the speed of business.  Eight years of Obama and 4 years of Biden, with just 4 years of sanity in between with Trump the first time, has left the American economy a disaster with too much government tampering through regulation, and that is why the cost of eggs is high, and many other things.  There aren’t enough suppliers to compete with each other because all that has survived were the big corporate conglomerates who are only in business now because they could afford to buy through lobbying power, politicians that would keep them safe from too much regulation.  But under these masked communist administrations, which Obama certainly was, and Biden was trying to mimic, regulation was their weapon, and Covid was the ultimate regulatory weapon that could mass shape the economy of the world toward centralized state control of all assets and prices could be whatever they decided they were. 

The ultimate target was the fossil fuel industry. The government believed that if prices were too high, people would choose to use public transportation and move to electric cars and alternative solar energy as an occult dedication to Mesopotamian religious beliefs of nature worship on a mass scale.  These governments had so little respect for people in general that they thought they’d get away with everything, that if they didn’t teach us to read and cut off our feet so we could never run away, we’d be their political slaves forever.  The way to bring down prices is to make it more conducive for more egg manufacturers to compete with other egg manufacturers so that prices will come down to the best supplier.  That’s how basic economics works; the more government tampering, the higher the prices.  The less, the cheaper.  The balance is in how much regulation is needed not to discourage upstarts and still produce products that are generally safe outside the normal market controls.  And for that to happen, Trump will inspire prices to come down within a few months.  And within a few years, economic pricing will dramatically change.  But it won’t happen in just a few weeks.  People who would even think so, shows how badly they understand things, such as fundamental economic theory.  I majored in economics in college, and many people thought I’d make a living at it because I was good at understanding the concepts in a way that was difficult for other people to get their minds around.  But these things are so basic that I would have been bored to death.  These are the basics of human existence and aren’t complicated.  It’s great that Trump is back in the White House, and it won’t take long to make the American economy the best in the world.  We will start to see the signs of that during 2025.  But it will be slow and gradual, not dramatic and fast.  It takes time for small businesses to form to take on the corporate conglomerates and to bring prices down with competition.  And until there is more competition for everything, prices will be high.

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

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

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

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

If you want to see Vivek in person, just register at the link below:

https://www.vivekannouncement.com/

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

One of the happiest days of my life

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Let the Bengals Leave: They cost too much, lose all the time, and they aren’t worth the money in Cincinnati

I enjoy the NFL product more than most do from the perspective of the premium seats.  Several times a year, I get a chance to watch a football game from the Club section or a private box, and I do like it.  I like the Club Seats at Bengals games, from Paycor Stadium, as they call it today.  I like having the Cincinnati Bengals in town and think it’s great for Ohio to have two NFL teams.  But let’s not forget who does what and for whom here.  Both Ohio NFL teams are complaining about their stadium accommodations.  The Cleveland Browns want to move from their current waterfront Dog Pound and out into the suburbs which seems like a really dumb idea.  Their stadium is right on the Lake Erie waterfront and is really nice.  Most NFL teams have received new stadiums that are exotic domes, such as the new ones in Las Angeles and Las Vegas.  Or they are complaining about getting one.  My favorite team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has a very nice stadium I’ve visited several times. I think they do a really nice job in their community, tying everything together, engaging in community activity, and providing entertainment through sports.  I was never happy with how Raymond James Stadium was publicly funded, as they all are.  But with the Glazer family in Tampa, they built a nice stadium with a big Disney-like pirate ship in it, and it gave fans something fun to enjoy.  And there are events at Raymond James Stadium that go on all year.  They don’t just play NFL football there.  Compared to the Bengals, the Bucs go to the playoffs a lot, and they have won a few Super Bowls.  But the Bengals just don’t win much.  Their season is usually over by December, and they have lost when they have had a chance at the big game.  So, the Brown family in Cincinnati have not been nearly as good of owners as the Glazers in Tampa.  All things have not been equal regarding the NFL experience and the owners who run them.

It was very contentious for taxpayers when the Bengals pushed to get the current stadium they play in, what was called Paul Brown Stadium for a while.  It was not that long ago that it was built; Paycor Stadium is very nice and is one of the big features of the Cincinnati skyline.  And as I said, I attend several games yearly as part of the Club experience.  I’m not a stand-in-line kind of person.  If I can’t get out of my car and go straight into the stadium security and to my seat with a private food service option, I will probably not go to a professional sports venue.  And I’ve been to Paycor stadium in the nice summer months and in the snowy cold days of winter.  And I think it’s great.  But it’s not worth infinite amounts of money.   The Bengals are coming up on the last year of their lease agreement with the county of Hamilton, and they want a better deal.  They threaten to move to a different city if the Hamilton County commissioners don’t lay down and cave to their every demand.  Currently, the Bengals want the taxpayers of Hamilton County to pay $150 million in 2024 and another $150 million in 2025 on stadium repairs, with the team contributing $50 million in exchange for a five-year extension through 2030. However, the county has only committed to $39 million in renovations for 2024 going into 2025 with a sort of blank check mentality. 

So here’s where I’m at with the whole thing: let the Bengals go.  See if another city wants to deal with their crybaby NFL antics.  I’d say the same thing to the Cleveland Browns, too.  While I like the NFL experience, it is a nice thing to have, but Cincinnati, Cleveland, and the state of Ohio generally do more for the NFL than the professional football teams do for those cities.  Good luck, Bengals. Have fun moving to Chattanooga or some other secondary city.  It wouldn’t take long for them to regret the move.  We all remember what happened in Cleveland when Art Modell moved the Cleveland Browns to Baltimore only to call them the Ravens.  Then Bernie Kosar, who used to be a quarterback, lobbied with others to bring an expansion team to Cleveland to become the new Browns, named after the Bengals’ owners.  In the end, the NFL, which is more the way I think of the product than I used to, is an entertainment option closer to big-time wrestling.  It’s something for people to talk about on Monday morning around the water cooler.  But not good for much else.  I think the referees tip the scales to favor betting odds, and they do it through play calls at critical times to get one team to win over another in a close game.  (Buffalo clearly converted that 4th down over the Chiefs in that recent big game)  There is too much money involved for the NFL not to be rigged in some fashion, so the whole product’s value is purely entertainment.  And there is a limit to how much money anybody should spend on entertainment.  I think these NFL teams should pay their own way, especially in the Bengals’ case; they should pay Cincinnati for the privilege to play.  It should not fall on the county to pay the expenses of a private enterprise.  The NFL everywhere has a broken financial model that double dips the taxpayers.  But when teams don’t win now and then, a team like the Bengals abuses their relationship with the public.

Considering the size of the payrolls, some of these repairs that the Bengals want to be made at the stadium, whether it’s 30 million for some new paint or 300 million for structural improvements and general maintenance, the money should come out of the Bengals, and they should be happy to pay it to be treated as well as they are in the city of Cincinnati.  Instead, and this is expected in all NFL cities, the expectation is that the public pays once in taxes to build stadiums for these entertainment options, and then they have to pay again to go to the stadium.  And it costs a lot of money.  Nothing is cheap at an NFL game.   So, the NFL product is a pretty bad financial model, and they treat the cities they play in as if they are doing everyone a favor by watching them play football.  As I said, I think the Glazer family in Tampa does a good job building a relationship with the community that pays taxes for a stadium that is much more friendly to the community than what the Bengals do.  Or the Browns.  And the Bengals, for all the trouble and cost they impose on the community, can’t win enough even to justify themselves.  Everyone knew at the start of the 2024 season that the Bengals were in trouble.  Sure, they had a great quarterback and some great receivers.  But the coaching staff was lazy, disengaged, and lackluster.  And the defense was horrendous.  And that was game one of the season.  Going to games during that entire season was like buying an expensive hot dog so the grandkids could listen to loud music and watch losers lose.  The Bengals have not been good owners; they take, take, take from the community, and they don’t know how to win or give the community something to be proud of.  And my advice to the county of Hamilton would be just to let them go.  Call their bluff and let them leave.  One or two playoff games could have generated more than enough money to pay for the stadium repairs.  When you have several players with multi-million dollar contracts in the hundreds of millions, this money they want from the county is chump change.  The Bengals should pay for everything.  And they should pay for the right to play in Cincinnati.  If they’re going to leave, let them.  See how they like the next place they go.  Cincinnati would do just fine without them and their losing ways.

Conspiracy Theorists are Prophets of Truth: The human abuse of power by controlling false narratives

What we are seeing come apart, in a good way, is a human narrative that has long held in it the power over others through concealment.  It was pretty astonishing, knowing some of the things I do about the conspiracies talked about, to watch the confirmation hearings of Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard, and Robert F. Kennedy by senators who clearly insisted that these people accept a complete lie in order to get a confirmation vote.  It would have been shocking if it wasn’t so stark and apparent.  But that kind of thing happens every day and has gone on for thousands of years.  Conformity to a popular opinion is more important to authority structures than the truth.  For instance, asking Kash Patel if Joe Biden won the 2020 election was more of a hazing oath than a quest for the truth.  Of course, Biden didn’t win that election.  I reported it from the very hour it happened and have seen precinct maps showing where the election fraud occurred.  I have talked about it for the last several years almost every day because it was one of the most significant crimes in the history of the world.  And the evidence, four years later, is starting to come out into the light of day.  So, by asking Kash the question, which he knows there was election fraud too, the entire premise is to see if Kash would lie to be accepted into the club of Washington D.C. employees.  For those types of people, in which evil rides like a horse, the greater good is defined as superior to the truth.  If the masses would be better off not knowing the truth, as determined by the authority figures of the day, then the truth must be concealed.  And once you start doing all that, you can never put the genie back in the bottle.

When RFK was asked about COVID and vaccines, the attempt was to get him to refute his truthful statements and to accept a government-formed diatribe that was meant to conceal the truth from the public to preserve the institutions that abused their power and killed millions and millions of people.  For the greater good, RFK was expected to lie to get the job Trump appointed him for.  Of course, this is ridiculous, but we put up with it every day and behind many of the problems we have regarding our government and how it does the work for the people who put it in power, or they lose their way and start to think they are in charge, we have to admit that conspiracy theories have been very good for our society and are a natural way that people who seek the truth find a way to bridge what they are told by people they can’t trust, and the actuality of evidence.  In the case of our own government, or even in the science fields, institutional migration into popular culture is more important than the facts of the matter, so we have a large number of conspiracy theories from people who seek the truth, but can’t get it from their sources of authority.  And we have indeed witnessed, such as with the CIA, that part of their strategy of concealment is an actual abuse of their authority, leaving people guessing constantly what’s going to happen next.  The best example of this method is sleep deprivation torture, where a patient is never allowed to rest until they either confess to a crime they never committed, just so they can sleep, or to get them to psychologically accept a truth they otherwise would have rejected.  In this case, let’s get people talking about aliens in Roswell, New Mexico, instead of what globalism was doing to the small military town in destroying it so they could ship the jobs to China and make it the kingmaker of New World Order politics. 

This condition is most evident in the current trend of history analysis.  We have been lied to about the origins of the human race and the linear track of history, with humans migrating from hunters and gatherers and building cities predictably inventing things until we have arrived in the modern age.  But the truth is that humans have risen and fallen for thousands of years, reaching heights of greatness before falling back into a culture of barely rubbing two sticks together to make a fire.  That is a source of conspiracy that authority figures are terrified of because to admit to it, masses of people might not follow them if they prove to be wrong, and society might yet again retreat into the abyss of human achievement.  Even though we have vast evidence showing much contrary information that archaeologists and anthropologists reported, that evidence is ignored so that an established belief can remain the informative narrative.  Anybody who brings forth any new truth that would challenge the official narrative established by universities and polite scientific society would be called a conspiracy theorist.  We know that civilization is tens of thousands of years old and that hunters and gatherers who settled at sites such as Stonehenge were curious about the stones and built a culture around them.  However, the mathematical elements and construction themselves came from a much more advanced society that was global. 

As protestors outside of the closed-down USAID screamed about the DOGE efforts to get rid of entire government departments, they were all guilty of accepting an official narrative of social benefit when the real menace was wealth redistribution from a capitalist country to prop up communist countries, and in the process, to destroy capitalism so a centralized power could rule the world.  The official narrative was that USAID was helping people.  When the truth was that it had been seeking to destroy the brand of America that the world wanted to kill so it didn’t have to compete with North American capitalism.  The goal of many who seek power in the world is to gain the ability to control a narrative and to use it to rule over the masses.  And the trick to their power is to get those masses to admit to a falsehood to survive.  The only way we have arrived at the point we are now where the Trump administration has gained the moral authority to do all that it’s doing is because the conspiracy theorists turned out to be right about most things.  Not just some things, but most, and those in authority at the time, have been caught falsifying the official narratives, and they don’t know how to handle a society of truth.  No human culture ever has.  It’s never been done before, anywhere.  But we are doing it now in America, and essentially, it’s because the conspiracy theories were able to get an honest analysis through free speech, which is why it’s so necessary in any culture.  But seeing such a mechanism of authority play out when the facts are so well known only shows how bad it has always been.  We should all thank God for the conspiracy theories in our lives.  They have forced the world to be more honest, and in that process, they have alleviated a lot of evil destruction.  And because of all that, we are entering a unique time of truth, as we’ve never seen it before.

Regulations are a Form of Domestic Terrorism: The way government workers slow everything down to rule over society

The reason I say that all these accidents and fires that we see tragically destroying people’s lives and even killing them are acts of terror is that some admissions must be made before the situation can be corrected.  Trump is disrupting a lot of government workers with terminations, and D.O.G.E. is going to cut into a lot of sacred cows, and there is a percentage of those employees who will imply terrorism to the system they control to force the world to see things their way.  For instance, whenever there are air traffic control accidents, the sentiment is to slow everything down and pander the workload to the worker’s feelings, not to make the worker step up to the job’s demands.  To protect this subconscious contract, regulators come up with more rules of conduct that keep the focus off personal performance and instead slow the world down to the weaknesses of the workforce.  In the case of all these airplane accidents, as has been the case in the past, a premise of safety first will force everything to slow down and encourage a population to throw money and more employees at the problem to deal with the compliance aspects of bad regulation rather than challenge the premise of them.  And if people complain, all federal employees will go slower, just like at your local BMV.  This attitude has flowed essentially down into every regulatory environment, from restaurants to tire making, and it’s a big problem.  The reason we have so much waste in government and way too many employees that can easily be removed is that we have allowed radicalism to rule over our labor without the expectation of good performance being a factor in any way.  Instead, our focus has been to make all jobs equal for all people. We have allowed these people to use regulations to hide dysfunction, and that is where we find ourselves today.

I have vast experience in this kind of thing; I have seen every type of ugly thing that human beings can do to each other.  I watch the Davos meetings every year, and this time, of course, all the talk was about Trump and his concept of deregulation to get the American economy moving again, which had them in a panic.  Many forces have been using regulation to artificially stop the American economy so globalism could sink in and empower other countries, such as China, to overtake it.  So whether people die in plane crashes or have their homes destroyed by fire, rules and regulations have been hiding for a pretty long time the true intentions of radical, socialized labor sponsored by an increasingly large government.  And the more that Trump’s administration proposes to cut federal workers and to get rid of ten regulations for every new one created, the more accidents will happen, and much more damage to private property will occur because terrorism is baked into the system.  So, to answer your question, dear reader, are some of these workers that radical? Would they kill their fellow human beings by short-staffing an air traffic control tower?  Yes.  Would they use technology to take vehicle systems over to cause life-taking accidents?  Yes.  Would they purposely start wildfires and destroy entire neighborhoods with arson?  You bet they would.  They will do anything and everything if they have the power to do it, and they will hide their crimes behind do-gooder rules and regulations that put the burden of proof on the compliance side of all business, leaving the provocateurs free to conduct devastating mischief.   This is how we ended up with the completely useless TSA after all, and if you tried to get rid of that unionized menace now, you would undoubtedly see an uptick in domestic terrorism involving airplanes, planned and perpetrated by them.

How do I know?  I could tell you many stories, dear reader, that would make your skin crawl.  However, one easy one comes to mind: I was involved with a rag-tag group of investors and treasure hunters to open a business that involved changing the use of a current location.  Keep in mind that I was in my mid-twenties and learning a lot.  But these lessons would last a lifetime.  I had to hire an engineer for this project to build a fire escape and a few other items that would require a drawing involving this “change of use,” so there were HVAC systems, handicapped accessibility ramps, plumbing, lighting, all kinds of compliance elements that were taking the cost of the project out of the range of the investors, so I had to push back and challenge all these crazy rules.  Because it was a simple business that didn’t need millions of dollars.  But to be compliant, the system required vast amounts of money to throw at the trolls.  I told the engineer and several lawyers that we wouldn’t spend 30K on a new air conditioning unit. And we were not going to do a 100K staircase for a third-floor building.  And we wouldn’t spend 20K on a new handicapped accessibility elevator.  We would challenge all those rules in court and with the Cincinnati Building Commission at City Hall.  Well, the engineer got mad; he was friends with all the CBC guys, and they were used to jacking up the price on entrepreneurs to milk the system for all the money they could get.  The scope of this project’s total budget was only 20K, so the numbers were way off.  However, the engineer and all the lawyers involved were upset that I wanted to bypass the system they had set up.

Long story short, I was involved with other people in this thing and it was a miserable experience that ruined a lot of lives in the process.  We ended up firing the engineer, and I essentially took over his job and all the legal work. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do to deal with those people.  I found loopholes in their giant regulatory book, which was 3000 pages long, and we got our change of use permit without all those extra costs that the engineer proposed.  It was challenging, and when we overcame all the objections the CBC guys had about our project, they laughed and moved the project along.  They knew and could have told us how to move the project forward.  But we had to figure it out or throw money at the problems through the expert class.  I ended up in court representing myself as legal counsel for the next two years, and it caused me all kinds of horrible trouble.  But we did get the permit at a significant cost.  I would say that for every federal job eliminated, there will be that level of trouble that will stick its head out of the sand, and the Trump administration will have to fight all of them in court.  It’s as bad and worse than you can imagine.  I would see much worse radicalism over the next three decades, and all the rules that come out of the compliance culture are every bit as horrendous and a real drag on any business enterprise.  Rules by themselves can make a project good if they are well thought out, and that’s what Trump means by saying that for every regulation created, you have to get rid of ten.  That doesn’t mean we have a worse society that is dangerous.  But we write rules better and do not impose them just to empower a radicalized workforce to nonproductive efforts and to be terrorists to the free market system.  Which they currently are.  And yes, they will kill and destroy anybody who gets in their way to preserve their power.  When you see an accident, do not assume, when it comes to federal employees and other government workers, that there isn’t an element of terror behind it.  Because there probably is.
