The Company of Tomorrow: Political trends are shifting away from the World Economic Forum values, and that’s a great thing

Everyone is always looking for the next great business tip for a competitive advantage, so here it is.  You can tell because of trends like what is going on with the Washington Redskins NFL team and the Cleveland Indians.  The fans of those teams are getting petitions signed to restore their names to what they were pre-woke.  The momentum of wokeness has shifted, and we see the political pendulum swinging the other way.  The Marxists had their chance, which didn’t have a positive impact that society could see for themselves.  The Beatles song “Imagine” didn’t come out very well when the World Economic Forum was starting mass viruses for their Great Reset and turning the responsibility of enforcement over to your local human resource office to do through businesses what nobody would ever be able to do through government regulation.  The Marxists of the world figured out that by design, our political systems in America were established to go slow to keep the government from interrupting the machine of capitalism.  So, they turned their attention to businesses to attack them there, and what we have seen happening in business climates over the last several decades has been Marxism, and people didn’t notice until recently.  Because most people have an adversarial relationship with their employers, it wasn’t something people saw coming in the front door.  But now that it’s here, they want it gone.  And that is the future state of business.  I’ve seen this communist, Marxist approach in the industry for a long time, growing year by year, and finally, after Trump was removed from office after a government-organized coup, no different from the many communist revolutions around the world, people finally have had enough of it, and that trend began to go the other way after the last Covid vaccine mandates. 

Just as professional sports teams were tricked into changing their names into woke acceptance, this is not what society wants.  They want cool names for their sports teams, not the Guardians, but the Indians in Cleveland.  I was just in Cleveland, and that name change a few years into it is still a joke, and it’s not getting better.  I have had some interactions with members of the family of that team, and their woke acceptance has not gone over well.  People are turning on them for allowing woke politics into their sacred sports franchise.  And that is certainly the case with the Washington Football team in D.C.  People want their Redskins back.  This anti-capitalist approach to life is not what people want in the world.  They have been patient with corporations that became politically active toward Marxism, some of America’s largest corporations.  When we talk about globalism, we are essentially talking about Marxism because that is how it is everywhere else.  Americans have taken the advantages of capitalism for granted because they didn’t know any better.  And they assumed that the companies they worked for had at least primary American values.  But that’s not how most corporations are these days; they have drifted into this Marxist compliance because if they had manufacturing plants in China, Vietnam, or Europe, they were dealing with some level of Marxism, whether it was outright communism or socialism.  It was not free market capitalism that was the driver of their economies.  It was the slow-moving and lazy administrative state, and it was slowing things down to levels that have been unacceptable in America.  I’m old enough to know what it was like before, and I have watched over several decades of being on the front line how Marxism has migrated into the human resource departments to influence how people live their everyday lives.  But the final straw happened during Covid and the slow realization that most people have from President Trump being in the White House, then Joe Biden.  Bidenomics has not been good for anybody but the global Marxists. 

I have often pointed out, over a long period, how the Lean Manufacturing trend was filled with cultural Marxism.  Many of the central foundations of business ethics these days attack the notion of the golf-playing CEO with a nice car, a trophy wife, and is oozing with success.  In Lean Manufacturing, they want the members of management to come from their offices out to where the work is done, not just to become more effective in understanding a problem.  That is how it sold to them.  But it’s really to minimize management in the eyes of the employees, to establish a level of sameness among everyone that displays nobody is in charge but the centralized employees.  Not even the marketplace.  Compliance with regulators as they get their talking points from the World Economic Forum has been their weapon of choice and has been a slow burn.  The CEOs and CFOs who have survived the most were those bootlicker types who appeased the bureaucratic regulators and were not focused on giving the public what they wanted—but imposing on the public Marxist restrictions not just in the employer but in the marketplace itself.  Rather than march people into Washington D.C. at gunpoint as Castro did in Cuba and kill political rivals off point blank, the Marxists took a much more passive-aggressive route.  They regulated capitalists out of existence.  But the marketplace is catching on and is pushing back.  Because of Trump’s successful administration, people tasted the good life again and want it back.  So, the political sentiment is swinging the other way. 

The World Economic Forum is failing; many of their 2030 plans, as scary as they are for their intent, are falling apart, much the way the name changes in sports are getting so much public pushback.  I do get to talk to people worldwide for perspective, and the sentiment is pretty much everywhere the same.  They are upset with Marxism and don’t want it in their products or the companies that make them.  And they certainly don’t want it in their sports teams.  People were willing to put up with it as long as they had the illusion of capitalism functioning in the background.  But now that they know differently, they want their capitalism back, so the future of business will go to those companies who most embrace capitalism for the majority of market share in the future.  Further woke trends from the human resource departments, such as paperless paychecks into bank accounts that centralized bankers can completely control, are not tomorrow’s trend.  But quite the opposite.  Ownership was diminished by the Marxists, including how pay was distributed or whether or not your employer could force you to get a vaccine of poison to keep your job.  The Marxists got caught talking out of both sides of their mouth; while they were saying work from home, fair pay for fair work, and make sure you get an excellent ESG score, the radical leftist Larry Fink and the Wall Street insurgents were saying, if you value your job, you’ll get the government medicine from the world’s largest drug dealer, the federal government.  People were willing to listen before and in the years leading up to these ridiculous sentiments of globalism on American corporations.  But now they aren’t, and success will be measured differently.  The less compliant with Marxist measures globally, the better companies will be.  And that is tomorrow’s trend for those who want to get a jump start.  Capitalism works not just because it makes money for those who utilize it.  But also, it’s a measure of morality that the public can influence, which was always at the heart of all economic activity and always will be.

Why I Have Not Been Cancel Cultured and Never Will Be: The Great flaw that the World Economic Forum never figured out

To answer a question that has been coming up a lot, especially these days, why I have yet to be cancel cultured out of existence is a good one.  Because it points to a fatal flaw in the World Economic Forum’s strategy for global domination, the foundations of that flaw were evident during and after Covid, and it is grotesquely apparent in the aftermath from all those who were suckered into believing what the Great Reset was aiming for their ridiculous “New Normal.”  Communism wasn’t going to be it, and they went all in on centralized control of everyone through the bureaucracy of the administrative state, and that fatal flaw was that they didn’t truly understand productivity.  They assume that everyone in the world is just as worthless as they are, as mindless bureaucrats who will do anything for a job because they don’t believe in the value of that job.  They feel they are given something, and their constant fear is that someone will figure out eventually that they don’t deserve that job, and that constant fear of that discovery drives them to do great evils in the world.  You’d be surprised how many CEOs of massive companies who make a lot of money feel that the rug could be pulled out from under them at any moment and that they might be homeless in the street with one swipe from their superiors in the World Economic Forum.  Those losers have gained so much power by exploiting this real fear in people who should know better.  This brings up the very relevant question, why don’t I worry about that kind of thing, and how have I managed not to be cancel cultured out of existence after all these years?  And the answer to that question is a good one that I’d like to see everyone understand because it is how you get true freedom in the world. 

Part of the reason that my answer might sound cliché is that the perpetrators of the fear want everyone to feel like such resistance is impossible, so they’ve stigmatized the obvious in the effort of mass social control.  But it’s all an illusion, mainly if you utilize the answer.  I don’t worry about cancel culture because the skills I have, precisely my best skill, is something that nobody gave me, so they can’t take it away.  Yet it’s something that the world wants desperately, and it always will.  Nobody at the World Economic Forum could ever stop people from enjoying what I can give them.  And that skill is that I make people around me better; I can continually improve their lives dramatically because I can read and utilize the fine art of subtly.  Most of the time, a problem, whatever it is, a psychological problem, a mechanical one, political, a narrative, a scientific one, have their answers concealed behind the subtlety of existence.  And if you can unlock that at will, you will find that you have a skill that people are always willing to pay for.  And they’ll pay for it in whatever currency they can give you.  This is one of the reasons that global forces want to control the money supply, so they can maintain how people get paid.  But there are many currencies out there, and you might say I am independently wealthy.  Not necessarily by physical money, but other currencies that matter much more, the kind of stuff that the IRS was never designed to measure.  And in that answer is the keys to freedom, which I have created in my life that nobody could ever take away, no matter how powerful they think they may be. 

That’s why I produce so much written content on this blog site for people for free.  I share my skill of reading subtlety because I can afford to.  Ultimately, I desire to make people better than they otherwise would be because I explain the real answers hidden behind subtlety for them.  I don’t personally get a lot out of the exchange, but I do like to see people live better lives, despite the forces that are trying to enslave them to the efforts of a liberal Administrative State and their communist intentions residing behind the entire endeavor.  For all the reasons that A.I. will never replace my particular writing style, because artificial intelligence will never be able to replace my ability to read subtlety in the world, there is no shortage of people behind the scenes who want what I have to offer, which is why I practically give it away for free.  I like to see people free, so I tell them how to be so.  But on all other matters, success in life, good relationships, an understanding of God and the afterlife, the mysteries of finance, history, psychology, legal practice, arts and entertainment, political philosophy, whatever the topic, there is always a hidden ingredient in subtlety that is just waiting to be discovered, which I see quickly, and can explain to people.  And for that reason, no matter the social conditions, there is always a long line at my door looking for my particular skill, which improves countless lives and always will.  I could have explained to the World Economic Forum the error of their ways three decades ago if they had listened, but they instead built their entire strategy on a false premise of production from day one, and they hoped to hide those flaws from themselves in subtlety, which they perpetually fear will be discovered, and exploited.  But of course, it’s too late for that. 

And that’s why I have never been cancel cultured and won’t be.  My life is not dependent on some loser to bring value to it or to decide that they’ll give me a job for which I should be eternally grateful.  I do many good things for many people that would otherwise be ruined by the mysteries of subtlety, where some of the worst people hide, hoping not to be exploited for the frauds they are.  But they fear most being discovered for the menace they present to the world, which makes it easy to conquer them, which I explain to countless people each week.  And to such an extent that I can afford to give away some of that good stuff for free to whoever wants to utilize it for their improvement.  I learned this skill of subtlety actually from an old samurai warrior in Japan many decades ago; it’s one of the nine ways of the samurai.  To understand the nature of all things as subtlety connects them.  And for access to that skill, my phone never stops ringing, and my email box is loaded with several hundred thousand messages on any given day.  And that will never go away.  There is no legal mechanism or a financial one that can stop it.  And I rather enjoy that leverage over the perpetrators of evil in the world and will continue to shower in the tears of my enemies because they fear subtlety and are haunted by it day and night.  And I’m not one to brag but to answer the question.  Why haven’t I been cancel cultured?  Well, I make people around me better.  The more people I’m around, the more improved they all will be.  And that is a skill that is most valued in the world by the needs of the human race.  Despite those who want to control those people for all kinds of malicious reasons but do not understand the subtle needs that people have, for which they will never have control.

Say No to Globalism: Pedophilia is the true objective behind the charities, Marxism, and climate change

When I think of globalism, and I will provide lots of examples in the weeks to come to support this statement, I think of the Rothchilds controlling around 100 trillion dollars of global wealth, worshiping ancient bloodlines they believe are the roots of all the royalty on planet earth from the beginning, telling King Charlie and the royal family what to do, who also controls around 100 trillion dollars of wealth, all who have been exposed by the terrible exploits of the BBC celebrity Jimmy Savile and the pedophilia ring on the island of Jersey, just north of France. I am convinced that most of what is stated at the World Economic Forum, which is a partnership with King Charlie and Klaus Schwab and the old Nazi roots of both men to continue with the occult practices of yesteryear, which is ultimately the consumption of children sexually, and in their life essence which is disguised behind Liberal World Order ideas propped up by charities, Marxism, and climate change, to essentially hide the terrible things they do because they have acquired so much wealth and power that they use it to stay above the law. Those are stories for another day but serve here to explain that there is nothing at all good about Globalism. We are at a point where we’ve seen what they are up to, which is essentially using Modern Monetary Theory to hijack the world’s corporations and to gain Marxist power over the entire world by collapsing their economies and replacing that value with phony money they printed for an all-out assault on our nations. What all globalists are proposing is essentially a military attack against our country, and that is the heart of what the next election is all about. And now, we need to essentially do what President Eisenhower didn’t when he identified this globalism problem in his last speech as president. He saw what was happening and warned President Kennedy about it. Yet within just a few years, Kennedy was assassinated by the CIA in what we now know is no longer a conspiracy theory.

Globalism is a complex concept that refers to the interconnectedness of countries and their economies, as proposed by the United Nations and the ghost group for Marxism, the World Economic Forum. It is the idea that what happens in one part of the world can have an impact on other parts of the world. While they talk about the benefits to globalism, challenges and risks are associated with it. One of the biggest challenges is how to ensure that the benefits of globalism are shared fairly and that the risks are managed effectively. This requires cooperation and coordination among countries and a commitment to transparency and accountability, which clearly isn’t happening.

Here is President Eisenhower’s farewell speech as he gave it.  “My fellow Americans, as I stand before you today, I am filled with a sense of gratitude for the privilege of serving this great nation. For eight years, I have had the honor of holding the highest office in the land, and I have done so with humility and a deep sense of responsibility.

As I prepare to leave office, I want to take this opportunity to share some reflections with you. I want to talk to you about the challenges we have faced together, the progress we have made, and the work that remains to be done.

When I took office in 1953, the world was a very different place. We were in the midst of a Cold War, and the threat of nuclear annihilation hung over us like a dark cloud. Our economy was struggling, and our society was still grappling with issues of inequality and discrimination.

But despite these challenges, we never lost sight of our core values as a nation. We remained committed to freedom, democracy, and human dignity, and we worked tirelessly to advance these ideals both at home and abroad.

Over the past eight years, we have made significant progress on many fronts. We have strengthened our economy, expanded access to education and healthcare, and made great strides in the fight against discrimination and injustice.

But we cannot rest on our laurels. There is still much work to be done, and we must remain vigilant and committed to our goals. We must continue to work for peace and understanding both at home and abroad, and we must never forget the lessons of our past.

As I prepare to leave office, I want to thank each and every one of you for your support and your commitment to our great nation. I have been blessed to serve as your President, and I will always cherish the memories of this remarkable journey.

May God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.”

And here is Klaus Schwab in 2020, speaking in full-throated support of globalism “As we move forward in these unprecedented times, it is clear that a great reset is necessary. Our systems and structures have been exposed as fragile and unsustainable, and it is time to rebuild them in a way that prioritizes the well-being of all people and our planet. We must seize this moment to create a fairer and more equitable world, where access to healthcare, education, and basic necessities are not determined by one’s wealth or status. Let us come together and work towards a brighter future for all.” Klaus Schwab, for those who do not know, is the founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum and has been closely monitoring the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. He believes this crisis can potentially reshape the world and create a new global cooperation and solidarity era. Schwab has called for a “Great Reset” of the global economy and society, which would involve rethinking our priorities and values in order to build a more sustainable and equitable future. He also stresses the importance of investing in digital technology and innovation to help us navigate the challenges of the post-COVID world.

Then here is a speech by King Charles from the same Davos event in June of 2020 “My fellow countrymen, it is with great concern that I address you today. We are facing a time of unprecedented change and uncertainty as the world grapples with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its vast economic repercussions. But alongside these immediate challenges, we must also confront the longer-term threats posed by climate change, social inequality, and the rise of authoritarianism. It is in this context that many have proposed a so-called “Great Reset” of our global systems and institutions. And while I am sympathetic to the goals of this movement, we must be careful to proceed with caution and thoughtfulness.

The Great Reset, as I understand it, seeks to fundamentally transform our economic, social, and political structures in order to create a more sustainable and equitable world. This is a noble goal, and one that I believe we must work towards. But we cannot simply tear down the existing systems without considering the potential consequences. We must engage in dialogue and debate, and we must ensure that any changes we make are done in a way that is transparent, inclusive, and equitable.

Furthermore, we must also be mindful of the challenges that lie ahead. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the fragility of our global systems, and we must work together to build resilience and preparedness for future crises. We must also address the urgent need to combat climate change, protect our natural resources, and promote sustainable development. And we must do all of this while upholding the values of democracy, human rights, and the rule of law.

In conclusion, I believe that the Great Reset presents us with both opportunities and challenges. As we move forward, let us do so with a clear sense of purpose and a commitment to working together. Let us engage in open and honest dialogue, and let us ensure that any changes we make are done in a way that is fair, just, and sustainable. Only then can we create a world that is truly fit for all. Thank you.”

Essentially what has been talked about regarding globalism is theft, stolen wealth propped up with phony money to steal real wealth from America to serve their illustrious schemes.  Its essentially a communist trick to attempt to convince countries of great value to share all their hard work and innovation under the threat of new technology that they poise is a big and scary new Big Bad Wolf in the world, and that only together can we defeat it.  But when they say “all countries must participate,” they mean it as a threat.  The purpose of the history lesson here is to show that it started to really get out of control during Eisenhower’s administration, and he knew it at the time.  This globalism thing is not something that just occurred, it has been many years in the making, and it has taken advantage of the niceness of our character.  But always, there has been a hidden menace, and ever so softly we have gradually learned about it over time, and from their own mouths.  They used a crisis they created in Covid to show their cards on globalism, and their intense desire to establish a coup against America’s pick for president, just as Eisenhower began to learn about during his term and Kennedy felt the wrath.  Nixon was done wrong by globalism even though he tried to play along with the creation of China on the world stage.  Henry Kissinger ended up selling him out, as they all do.  Trump is just the latest in a long line of globalists victims who learned all too late that the world has already claimed us as theirs; they don’t respect our rights, liberties, or laws.  And now they are in our faces about it, thinking it’s too late to turn back.  But it’s not.  We can still defeat globalism, and we must.  First, though, we must recognize it for the threat it is and what it’s really about.  Regarding the pedophilia trade by globalists, which by the facts, seem to go together as one and the same, I will provide a much more detailed exposition of that problem in the days to come.  Formally, I heard the stories but didn’t believe it until I saw that network in my own neighborhood up close and personal.  Pedophilia and crimes, in general, are a byproduct of globalism because the chaos of not having established legal parameters to establish moral behavior has unleashed the worst of people’s inner secrets.  And when they think globalism will conceal their vile actions, they indulge more in the worst sins of existence.  We now have a paper trail that establishes this fact beyond speculation or conspiracy.  And it is now upon us to say No to Globalism.  For all kinds of reasons.  But mainly because it’s wrong, parasitic, and an evil unleashed upon the world that must be defeated.  And one that we must recognize as such after many years of playing along to get along.

Picasso and Darbi Boddy in Lakota: The power of Leadership and temptations of blue pill politics

Like all good art, I think it reaches beyond the obvious world and articulates a core problem in the Lakota school district. And it’s pretty good, a work of art that was supposedly done by a student that an angry mom put on Darbi Boddy’s webpage after a school board meeting on Monday, the 17th of July, 2023. Darbi had once again made news, or rather Lakota did. I watched what I could of the meeting in small segments, and one thing that was clear to me was best represented in that Picasso-like painting, a caricature of Darbi Boddy, one of the most controversial school board members in the entire United States, and how kids have come to think of her. Art often says all the things that a complicated subject can’t say in an obvious way, and this artistic rendition of Darbi certainly does, despite its obvious negativity. This time the controversy that made the news was that Darbi mentioned “blood libel,” which is a very real thing. And that caused quite a stir that the media in Cleveland, Ohio, was talking about, and it provoked a reaction out of school board member Kelly Casper that was quite astonishing. The school board had been talking about the recent Supreme Court case where affirmative action was struck down for college entry. And when Darbi mentioned that Lakota should also drop those types of hiring requirements, Kelly Casper said that Lakota never practiced that type of conduct. But immediately, the most recent diversity tzar comes to mind, a person who clearly was assigned the job because of the color of their skin. To me, this is a normal meeting. To the pro-public-school people, this was a devastating conversation because what they want is a blue-pill life where nobody knows anything; they just live their lives oblivious to the outside world. They certainly don’t want to talk about affirmative action as it relates to human resource issues or blood cults that might infiltrate the school’s culture and destroy all the children.

Yet what struck me while watching all this wasn’t just the defensiveness of Kelly Casper, who has a friend in school board president now in Lynda O’Conner, but in the role reversal that Lynda now played against Darbi in public that was quite ostentatious. I’ve known Lynda for a long time and remember when she felt that the other school board members were picking on her continuously just a few years ago. The previous school board president, Brad Lovell, singled Lynda out because she was supposedly the only conservative member on the board, and things were pretty contentious. Now in that exact same role, as Brad used to have, Lynda has essentially become Brad. I know how it made her feel, so I can certainly understand and sympathize with how it made Darbi feel. And this started before Darbi became such a controversial figure. If Lynda had treated Darbi fairly, as she had throughout that last election, Darbi would have been a much different person in office. Instead, when the election was over, Lynda moved to ostracize the newly elected member, who never misrepresented herself as anything but a Tea Party candidate. And once elected, she stayed true to the type of people who had just elected her, which is a significant portion of the very conservative region we all live in within the Lakota school district.

Fantastic Interview that explains the magnitude of the problem

Of course, the students see all this, and they form their opinions and based on the way that Lakota has treated Darbi, led by Lynda O’Conner in this case; it’s no wonder that if a young person reporting what they saw through art would make such a picture of Darbi as was put forth in the summer of 2023.  In the picture, Darbi looks like some patriotic witch with the words “America” cast in a condescending way in the background.  When we wonder why many kids these days become Democrat activists, here is a case where it’s happening right in front of our faces within one of the most prestigious public schools in the country.  If it was happening there, it was happening everywhere.  The leadership at Lakota, which is something that transferred from one person to another in the seat of President, had shown students that conservative opinions were not welcome and that people who expressed them would be punished and made fun of.  Watching that Monday meeting, it’s quite clear that Lynda despises Darbi and doesn’t respect the voters who put her there.  It was Lynda who changed political positions.  Darbi is doing what Darbi was always going to do.  Voters want someone who represents them in public, not people who fall in love with job titles and will do anything to have them.  That is what has caused many of the problems in public education, and it’s not a mystery why students come to believe what they do about politics.  The big question is why did Lynda O’Conner essentially become Brad Lovell when all that changed was the name of the person who was the school board president.  And as to a bigger question, because apparently, Isaac Adi turned hard left after the election too, what makes people who were supposed to be Republican representatives turn into RINOs?  Why is it so important to them to be accepted by their peers?  Why aren’t they more like Darbi Boddy and fighting for the voters who elected them?  Why do they think it’s acceptable to behave one way during elections, but an entirely other way, a much more Democrat way, once they are sitting in the president’s seat on a lowly school board for a public education system that is an obviously dying model socially. 

I love the Jewish people; without them, a Bible wouldn’t exist. Yet like all people, bad things do happen when they lose their way. In the past, they have fallen to Baal worship, and these days, the temptations toward evil are all too easy. And they are just as tempted as anybody.

All that adds up to the painting of Darbi Boddy by a student who had a parent put it on Darbi’s website as if to say it all with a simple visual.  The poor leadership that runs these schools all over the country and are not supposed to be about politics at all are actually all about politics, liberal politics.  Democrat social positions.  And there is only one acceptable viewpoint.  Conservatives are not allowed, not real ones, anyway.  Public schools want to waste tax money on nonsense, and what they want to teach is unamerican and destructive to conservative values.  And the only reason this is a clash is because Darbi is refusing to change her beliefs under the pressure of the group consensus on the board.  At a point where I wanted to help her because I don’t like to see people being picked on, Lynda was Darbi, and Brad Lovell went well out of his way to treat her terribly from the seat of the president.  And it looks like Lynda wanted so much to turn the tables that she worked hard to become the president, only to become Brad?  This conflict is clear in that artistic rendition of Darbi.  It shows how Democrats who run these public schools see opposition to their strategies for children, and it’s quite an honor for them to feel that way.  But the more mysterious quandary is in how Lynda became what she used to hate.  Or did she ever hate that treatment at all?  Whatever the case, the students see what’s going on, their opinions about life are being formed, and the slant of their political beliefs are being shaped.  And what they see is a fault of leadership as it exists and the power it provides to people who are obviously ill-equipped to handle it.

The SAG Strike with the Writers in Hollywood is a Dumb Idea: But I predicted it years ago, and here it is, which will destroy them forever

The strike from the Screen Actors Guild is probably the dumbest thing we’ve seen in a long time. Many things are colliding simultaneously that will essentially kill the Hollywood industry. Yet, they seem brain-dead and numb to how the world sees them. As I always remind people, labor unions are all communist organizations, so the idea of stopping work through collective bargaining comes straight from Karl Marx. There is nothing “redeeming” or “American” about what they are doing. It’s essentially one set of radical lefties fighting against a bunch of New World Order studios who dance to the tune of BlackRock and the lefties of finance. One of the main reasons that Hollywood is so radically left is because that is what it takes to be one of the elites working in Hollywood. If you are a lefty, the studios might give you work if you are lucky. There are really very few actors and actresses who can make a living off acting in Hollywood. I know from personal experience and have seen this problem unusually close. And many years ago, I saw this collision coming, and here it is. Labor unions make motion pictures and television too expensive for a studio to produce. The residuals of production are too much of a pain in the neck, and essentially, we have arrived at a place where that cost just isn’t worth it to a studio. What it costs to make a movie and everyone involved just doesn’t justify the revenue stream. After Covid happened, this whole mess was exposed. Hollywood would need some kind of reset for their cost model. Yet the actors and writers who are now both on strike want things to be as they have been, which was never sustainable.

I’ve told some personal stories about Hollywood in other places, but not in this context. For most of my adult life, I wanted to be a film director, actor, writer, and producer. It was really the only thing I wanted to do from age ten to forty. And there were many times when I came really close to getting into that line of work. For years I had to pay fees to the Writers Guild and interact with that side of the business, which I didn’t like. Things were less political back then, so the politics of it was less of a concern. But there was one project with A-listers who were doing a project for RealD 3D that I met while at a film festival, as I was providing stunt work involving bullwhips as I was a member of the World Stunt Organization at the time. So they flew me out to Hollywood for a project involving some of the people from the Twilight movie series and Beverly Hills 90210. They gave me my own trailer, so I was being treated as the featured talent on the project with many veteran producers and actors, so I had a chance to see things behind the scenes. And what I learned, painfully, was that Hollywood was not for me. It was the union attitude that I had no tolerance for, and it was at that project in 2008 I realized that I was never going to work in Hollywood because of my disdain for unions. I couldn’t be in them and didn’t want to work with their rules. And the entire town was built on unionized labor. I had several conflicts on that particular project with unionized staff, and it became obvious to me that the unions had taken all the fun out of making movies. 

Ironically, I was there because of my hatred of unions because I was one of the only people in the world who had a very unique skill set that was willing to let RealD 3D screen capture my work, which would then go on to provide animation for films like Ironman 2 and the Immortals. The precise issue that the SAG members are striking on now is concerns over A.I. taking over acting and a loss of revenue regarding streaming services. Many people told me that if I did this project, I would never work in Hollywood again because once you gave the studios what they wanted, such as screen captures of me using firewhips, I would be done as a whip consultant for all future movies. After all, they wouldn’t need a person to perform that since they had all the footage from me that digital animators could then use for future projects. Well, my love was for telling stories, and if I could help make that easier, I was all for it. Many union members were on the set, but it was a nonunion enterprise because it was established as a pitch session. So I was nonunion showing what a potential pitch might do for a studio. The union people were there hoping to tag on to the project’s development. I was pro studio and certainly pro-RealD 3D. And as much as I liked the experience of being in Hollywood and working with people important in the industry, I grew very frustrated with the union mentality on that film set. So, when it was over, I made a decision that I would refocus my efforts. Barack Obama had just been elected; I joined my local Tea Parties in Cincinnati and put my efforts into those types of things. Largely because I witnessed the terrible burden that labor unions had placed on an industry I loved. But the problem had carried over into just about every element of politics in general.

When I saw the reasons for this latest strike of the SAG members being led by Fran Drescher, I knew it was the collapse of something that had been artificially propped up for many years. Movies cost too much because labor expected too many things, and studios had become too liberal over time because of their interaction with these communist unions and their liberal world order masters in finance. Conservative ideas weren’t even a consideration, and those are the people in the world buying tickets. So there was no way that the movie industry and television would last, and this strike would kill them. It will kill Hollywood, and it was a dumb thing to do. But it’s been brewing for a long time, and I have seen it from the other side and knew it would never last. Ultimately it is part of the collapse that is going on everywhere. People will not miss Hollywood. But Hollywood will miss the business. YouTube, in many ways, is far more influential. Some very serious people contacted me a few years ago about my life and wondered why I wasn’t making movies. And I explained to them that the entire industry needed to go through a reset period; this was before Covid. I told them that producing a movie wasn’t good business, and that I was doing other things that made much more sense. If you want to make a movie, you have to deal with unionized labor to get it into distribution, and that just wasn’t worth it to me. I told them that I’d see how things shaped up in the future. But under the union rules, it wasn’t fun, and I wanted no part of it. And now the industry is exactly where I said it would be. This is a sign of what will happen to the Liberal World Order and the Deep State in general. All these communist groups that have hidden in plain sight are falling apart. And the pain of it is their own doing.

The Best Thing to Happen to Lakota: What success sounds like

I would have never been involved in the last election for school board members if Lynda O’Conner hadn’t asked me to. My kids are grown, my grandkids are being homeschooled, and I think public education is a trash heap anyway. You should join my Thanksgiving Dinners sometime and listen to us talk about politics. My kids likely will homeschool their kids all the way through graduation, we all despise it so much, and we hate the people even more.   Bible verses come to my mind a lot these days, given the amount of evil that is showing itself in the world, and this one from  Isaiah 49:26  states my feelings about the matter pretty well “And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I am the LORD.” Public schools are oppressive places filled with vile, evil people, and spending one cent of my tax money on them angers me greatly. It took Lynda over seven years to earn my trust enough to have something beyond a polite conversation, and in that process, I came to think that she might be able to help the public school system in some small way, which is always worth doing. I watched some of the school board meetings where other board members would gang up on her because she was the only conservative, and I wanted to help her. So I worked with her during the 2021 election, and Isaac Adi and Darbi Boddy were found and elected to the board, and Lynda then had a conservative majority, and I hoped that Lakota would improve into something functional. 

Make sure to tune into the 2-hour and 18-minute mark.

So it was a painful experience to watch Lynda immediately turn on Darbi Boddy in the way that she did and turn into everything I don’t like about public schools. It was ironic to watch the Lakota school board work so hard to get rid of Darbi because they simply didn’t like her by trying to force her to resign over an accidental porn link while communicating legitimate information to the public. Then to have Lynda end up with the same problem within a year, and to have those same school board members who were working against Lynda while Brad Lovell was the board president, into defending her as a sister. We were told that when it came to Darbi, porn links on websites were bad. But when it came to Lynda, it was an accident that wasn’t a big deal. And that is the kind of thing that I don’t like about public schools, where adults who have lived bad lives try to live through their children and play a make-believe game that if only the community would spend just a few more dollars on educating children, that everything in the world would be better. And up until this year, I thought that if good people were involved in school boards, maybe things could work in public education. But I have arrived at similar conclusions as one public speaker at the most recent March 6th meeting, Jamie Minniear, did at a school board meeting. Jamie took the emotion of the year and expressed it, I think, in a way worth noting, which I found reflected my thoughts as well. It’s hard to care about people in politics, but it happens, and that pain can’t be easily contained, which is evident in Jamie’s public statements:

“Lynda-I wasn’t sure how to best communicate my thoughts to you at this point. The lack of response to my many questions over the months, combined with your greeting me at Republican meetings in recent weeks as if all is well, is what prompted me to come here tonight. So much that has happened over the last couple of years with you, in particular, has been difficult to swallow. To say you have been dishonest is an understatement-in fact, I can’t think of anything you have been transparent and honest about. This started with you not supporting parent authority during COVID, then the Matt Miller disaster where you withheld public record requests, violated the 1st amendment by disallowing public comments about Mr. Miller, and in a shocking close to the string of dishonesty, in the face of you reading the superintendents admission to 1) having a sexual fantasy conversation about 3 Lakota students, and 2) his admission to publically advertising his wife to other men for sex on Craigslist-with that alarming information in hand, you said calmly at the November 21st board meeting – “… the board of education’s highest priority is the safety of its students, these claims against Mr. Miller were found to be false by multiple agencies,” Mrs. O’Connor, I ask you, how are the claims false when they are confessed to by Mr. Miller? Then, during that same statement, you went on with a celebration of Mr. Miller by saying, “the board would like to express its full support for Mr. Miller – Mr. Miller is an is an excellent leader in our district, and he is a shining light in Ohio.” How do you, with any sense of morality and respect for Lakota and the community, lift Mr. Miller up and celebrate him like a hero with Mr. Miller’s vulgar confession in one hand and the microphone in your other? You never discussed Mr. Miller’s confession. You first tried to hide it, then ignored it. But here’s the problem. When someone withholds and ignores information, it is a suppression of truth – this is lying. You withheld and ignored Matt Miller’s gross confessions. You lied to the community. In regards to the email you sent me yesterday trying to convince me not to come tonight. You are right about scripture saying go to a brother if you have a grievance with him. But there’s a second part to the scripture. Matthew 18:15-17 If a fellow believer hurts you, go and tell him—work it out between the two of you. If he won’t listen, take others along so that the presence of witnesses will keep things honest, and try again. I and many others have come to you individually, as scripture says, but you’ve done and said nothing. Tonight, is the second part of scripture which is bringing it out in front of others to have an account of the issue and keep things honest. Finally, with no attempt on your part to bring clarity or honesty to what happened, I’m asking you to discontinue greeting or engaging with me in public. I’m not interested in pretending all is well.”

I did this a few years ago, and it’s still very relevant, especially on this matter. Cliffhanger is my fast-draw shooting name at competitions.

Matt Miller was probably the best thing to happen to Lakota; I agree with many apologists on the matter. We are a better community because of Matt Miller. But not because of his work at the school but because of the network of sexual swingers, radical liberals, tax increase supporters, and outright villainy that was uncovered; as a result, going from our sheriff’s department to our school board and all the lawyers in between. As a community, we learned a lot, but more than anything, we have been confronted with a kind of evil that has always worked in the background, and we wonder why our kids grow up destroyed and unable to function in the real world. Look at their parents. And in many ways, the Matt Miller controversies brought all this to the surface and showed people to be what they always were, which leads to always tax increases to fill the financial voids of their empty lives. This is something that went far beyond simple political matters and moved into the struggle of life and death itself and the role of goodness or evil on earth in conflict over a simple curriculum. And when we are told that there is no CRT or that highly liberal and political teachers aren’t sexually grooming kids, it’s coming from the same people who told us that Darbi was bad for accidentally linking porn on her website but that Lynda was good because she had porn on her website for two months because the domain expired and nobody noticed. Both were accidents, but one was deemed bad by the established system, by the same people, yet everything was fine when it came to Lynda. Just as they told us, there was nothing to the Matt Miller story, even as we read it with our own eyes in the police report. 

Rather than get emotionally discharged over all these slaps in the face, I have been reminding people that this is an election year, and Lynda is up for consideration. Obviously, it will take more than just putting conservatives on the school board to fix anything and to make what our tax money is spent on just a little better. It’s going to take actually good people, and in my view of the world, Darbi Boddy does that. I would love to have four more on the school board like her. But this election will be different; it won’t just be about names on a Republican slate card or even a party endorsement. This is literally a fight between good and evil. People who would lie to our faces, manipulate our trust, and then carry that sentiment over into the education of children as if they were too innocent to see how the adults are really behaving. If we want to have even a bit of hope for the future of children, then the adults have to start behaving much better. And what we have seen coming from the Lakota school board over this last year has been bad, and kids are smart enough to understand why. It wasn’t Darbi Boddy who lied to the public and misrepresented herself. She is only guilty of not playing the game because she ran on a platform of not playing games. Because games are expensive and they don’t help educate children. But the hurt regarding Lynda is that many people wanted to help her do good things at Lakota, and in the end, she pushed away her supporters and was supported most by those who worked against her. And that level of betrayal is a timely enterprise because it happened when it counted most, during an election year, so people can now at least make a clear choice without a lot of friendly emotions getting in the way. We have seen the truth, and now we have an obligation to act on it. Which we will. 

It is always an honor to be hated by these kinds of people. If they like you, then you should worry.
Watch Isaac Pander to the Mob. Always judge people by what they do, not what they say

Regarding the 2-hour and 18-minute mark of the March 6 Lakota school board meeting video, it is easy to see what we are dealing with.  When my name was brought up, several people asked me how it felt to have people laughing at me during this meeting.  I replied in every instance that I was very honored to have those people feel so strongly.  Those types of personalities, such as the person pictured with the “removedarbiboddy.com” shirt, are what have infested these public schools with so much terrible behavior.  I thought Isaac’s reaction was interesting, especially after all the times he thanked me for all the nice words I sent in his direction.  But watching him in that format and actually leading the crowd says everything anybody needs to know.   There are the things that people say to get elected.  Then there is what they do to stay in favor of the mob.  And make no mistake about it; the mob is in charge at Lakota schools and all public schools.  Wanting to be liked by the mob is how we lose people like Isaac and Lynda to them.  So it is great to see someone, Darbi Boddy, sit in the middle of that mob and show such resilience.   And by doing what she has, we see more people following in that lead and ultimately changing the culture at Lakota into something that those laughing will be forced to take a lot more seriously.

A Government that Cheated on Us: The Covid lab leak and crimes against humanity

Remember what I said about Covid from the very first day until now. I have always talked about Covid as a bioweapon that came out of China and was intended as a way to wreck the American economy during an election year to get rid of Trump. In the first days of the lockdown announcements, I referred to it as a Pearl Harbor attack from climate activism, and my position is on record for all to see. Nobody else at the time anywhere, not Tucker Carlson, not Rush Limbaugh, nobody was willing to go there, but I did, which is essential as a validation to everything else I say. When I write something down, it’s a pretty good bet that it’s information you can trust, even when it sounds outlandishly crazy as the lab leak theory was when Covid first came to America. When Trump called it initially the “China Virus,” there were attempts to make it a racist statement to hurt the president, but he stuck with it because all the evidence at that time pointed in the direction of China as the destination where Covid came from. And now, three years later, we are talking seriously about the leak scenario, and even the Biden administration is now reluctantly admitting to the minimal scenario that they cannot confirm or deny that the virus was a lab leak from Wuhan, China. But everyone else, including the media, is fully embracing the idea, which is the next possible first step in correcting the behavior. Why, all of a sudden, after all this time? Well, likely because there is much worse information that is coming out, which everyone wants to take the edge off of, and they think that admitting to the leak story that it will consume people’s thoughts and hide the worse story, that Covid was actually a bioweapon made by the government for the purposes of fulfilling the World Economic Forum’s “Great Reset.” 

I thought it was astonishing that Woody Harrelson talked about Covid in such a derogatory manner on Saturday Night Live the way that he did. They would have had to know what he was going to say; there is nothing unpredictable about Saturday Night Live, which has been an overtly political show. They have been attempting to destroy President Trump in their own way with the now disgraced actor, Alec Baldwin. As NBC, Comcast, and a major progressive show based in New York City, they were always pro-Covid, pro-big government solutions, pro mask; they took the international WHO position from the beginning that Covid was something to be yielded to, meant to unite the governments of the world into fighting an out of control virus. And the purpose for them as they brought wine glasses together in their after-parties was for the greater good. Under danger, Americans might be willing to give up their Constitutional rights in favor of a centralized government controlled by the CDC and Dr. Fauci if they were terrified of death. So for NBC and the Saturday Night Live producers to put Woody Harrelson on live and talk about Covid as a crazy script that nobody would have ever believed is a significant position worth noticing. That is the mainstream entertainment industry distancing itself from what Covid was and what it did to our nation and the world. And it was a purposeful admission, not some unscripted accident.

When Saturday Night Live put Woody Harrelson on as the host, they knew what they were getting. It was the fifth time they had him host the show, so there is a relationship there where everyone knows everyone else. Even if it were claimed that Harrelson went off script with one of his drug-induced rants, which was part of the set-up for what Woody would eventually say about Covid so that if it went wrong, everyone could backtrack their statements. The point in putting Woody Harrelson on as the host that night was to give Saturday Night Live credibility on the matter of the Covid lab leak and to play their part in shaping the story as it is now being admitted to. But why now? Is it because the Biden administration is trying to deter China from getting too cozy with Russia in the conflict involving Ukraine and leverage over aggressions in Taiwan? These are bold positions considering that Biden was put into the White House by essentially China and the Deep State voter tampering that has gone on in the last elections, all easily proven and will be the centerpiece of Trump’s re-election campaign for the next two years. To put China at the center of the story and essentially throw them under the bus indicates that there is more hidden that the perpetrators hope will take the edge off the rest of the story. Actors like Harrelson don’t get where they are in life by not following instructions. The purpose for him to give his statement was to walk back the Hollywood position that has nearly destroyed their industry. They played along because the World Economic Forum insisted that it was good for saving the planet. Being dumb Hollywood types, they bought the Covid narrative without question because, as actors, they get paid to say what other people tell them to. And it’s the finance industry that tells them what to say, and they get their finance through the woke ESG-driven World Economic Forum. 

The gamble from the beginning was always the destruction of the populist movement, wherever it evolved in the world. Covid was meant to scare everyone into submission to an out-of-control virus, and this was a plan that was well rehearsed in advance before Covid was introduced to the world. Anybody paying attention to the Netflix releases on pandemics and the role-playing scenarios from the Bill Gates types at the time could see the writing on the wall. But the desired outcome did not come as they had hoped. Now there are all these books and congressional testimonies that are being done to understand what happened. I see it as an admission by our government that they have cheated on us, but their admission is one they think we will accept instead of the cold hard truth that if we do find out, we will be much angrier about. It’s like the husband who has been cheating on his wife, and he says to her that he had only done it that one time to that one woman. While a wife might not be happy about that, if it’s just one time with one specific person, then maybe she might understand with some context. But in truth, the husband has not just been cheating with that one woman but has been sneaking out for years to visit gay nightclubs, all the while that they were raising kids, and the behavior has been systemic; well, that’s a whole new level of betrayal that the wife can’t deal with. And that’s what it looks like Covid is. A deep, carefully planned attack that the Liberal World Order bet everything on, and they came up short, and now they have to reveal what they knew and who knew it. China then makes itself an easy target to throw under the bus. Because the problem is much bigger than just China, if the public looks in their direction, then perhaps the more serious stuff is that Covid was a bioweapon and not just some accident that leaked out of Wuhan, might be avoided. Because the truth is far worse, and now people are dealing with that very real prospect, and for many, that realization will be very painful.

It’s OK to Pray to God To Punish Our Enemies with Righteous Indignation: The lessons from the ‘Book of Esther’

After you read books like Rise of the Fourth Reich that lays out the case for what happened with Covid, who was involved, and what was done that points to criminal activity which resulted in the knowing destruction of over 7 million people, the scope of the evil requires perspective. And to get that perspective, I have been directly referring people to the Bible and specifically to the Book of Esther. I don’t see the Bible as a book of passive turn-the-other-cheek values. Rather it is one of the only books in the world that has properly defined good and evil as a righteous decision toward human progress as opposed to the sacrificial qualities that typically embody liberalism in general. As we look around the world at the various religions and climate change as the World Economic Forum defines it is a religion for them, it’s a reversion to the old Baal worship that was so popular in the land of Canaan as the Israelites conquered that land in the name of God and that conflict is still the center of politics to this very day. The Book of Esther has an unusual perspective that could be very helpful about now when faced with the vast evils that are in front of us. And I would say that the Bible provides the proper context for dealing with that evil. There really isn’t any middle ground. There were a lot of people who knowingly created Covid as a virus to unleash on the world. They lied to President Trump about the options, such as Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine, as treatments to stop the spread and effect of the government-made virus that was released out of China. And a lot of people died. What do you do with the governors of states who knowingly put nursing home people together in rooms with Covid patients, purposely spreading the virus for what could only be understood as intentional murder? The Bible provides the proper context for how we should look at such vastly evil behavior.

In the Book of Esther, the all-powerful King of Persia, Ahasuerus, ruling a territory from India to Ethiopia, banishes his queen Vashti for failing to appear before him when bidden as she was instructed to show off her beauty at a party to display the power of the king to his associates. After winning a beauty contest, the newly chosen queen is Esther.  She is the adopted daughter of Mordecai, her cousin, both Jews. Mordecai’s bitter enemy at court is the wicked Haman, the King’s right-hand man. Because Mordecai fails to bow before him, Haman plots not only Mordecai’s death but also the extermination of all the Jews in the entire kingdom. Mordecai calls on Queen Esther to save her people. Esther heroically risks the King’s wrath by appearing unbidden before him. She invites King Ahasuerus and Haman to a banquet, where she persuades the King to save her people and hang Haman on the gallows he had constructed for Mordecai. The King’s edict to kill the Jews is reversed, and the Jews instead get revenge on their would-be persecutors and celebrate, initiating the festival of Purim. Purim 2023 begins March 6 and continues through March 7 (extending through Wednesday in Jerusalem, (March 7-8). It commemorates the salvation of the Jewish people in ancient Persia from Haman’s plot to destroy, kill, and annihilate all the Jews, young and old, infants, and women, in a single day. The story ends with the Jews carrying out a bloody massacre of their own, in which more than 75,000 people lose their lives, and by fear of death prompts countless others to feign Jewish faith to preserve their existence. Haman is impaled on the gallows along with all his sons, and the story ends with all the good people living happily ever after. The bad guys are all killed or converted to the Jewish faith. It’s such a beautiful story. 

These kinds of mass exterminations of entire people have obviously happened before. In our recent memory of World War II, there is the Holocaust by Hitler and the Nazis against the Jews. Some people were saved with some intervention. Still, the desire to exterminate people in a mass way over religious differences or political desires in this global world order that was obviously behind the actions of Covid cannot be ignored. There must be swift justice as the most fundamental action resulting from the Covid murders so well outlined in that great book Rise of the Fourth Reich. After all, how was what the World Health Organization did with their mask mandates and lockdown orders, which flowed into the American CDC, any different from Haman demanding that Mordecai bow before him as a sign of obedience? Because the science of the mask mandates was all about obedience to the healthcare tyrants, it had nothing to do with logic. Or in preventing the spread of the virus. The whole purpose of Covid and the mask mandates, the denial of medicine to those who were sick, was to impose a new tyranny of compliance on the world as a new power was trying to establish itself globally. How was any of this different from King Ahasuerus allowing his direct assistant, Haman, to issue a decree to destroy all Jews just because Mordecai refused to bow down to Haman’s authority? And all that saved an entire race of people from complete destruction was the beauty of a woman. And just because of that beauty, Ahasuerus, whom many think was Xerxes from the Greek invasions, turned entirely on his personal assistant just because of beauty and allowed the murder of all who plotted against the Jews, including Haman!

I’m not saying we go out and kill all those who plotted against us, even though history would be very forgiving of it if we did. We have rules that we live by, and one of them is from the Ten Commandments, “thou shalt not kill.” But if you read the Bible, much of it is pleas from the characters to ask God to smite the enemies of the Israelites, especially King David. There is a lot of talk in the Bible about bringing the wrath of God down upon the evil villains of wickedness, and there are a lot of times when God does just that. And there isn’t a prosecutor in the world who can bring murder charges against those who pray for the destruction of their enemies, and I would recommend to everyone harmed by the Covid tyrants in the world that they have all the right to think in such a way. It is righteous to pray to God for justice and ask our enemies to be smitten to their destruction. For what they did, they would deserve it. Even as we of the living turn to our laws for justice, and Congress should use The Rise of the Fourth Reich as a base for testimony and punishment, I would offer that the Bible provides plenty of license for prayer. We don’t have to turn the other cheek on our enemies. We don’t have to pray for their salvation. As the Book of Esther clearly displays, we are right to wish complete eradication of our enemies and their evil from the earth. Because if the Jews had not convinced the King to allow them to defend themselves against their persecutors, they would have been completely wiped out under the hand of Haman, and history would not remember them. And the scale of what happened with Covid was much, much worse than what happened in history with the kingdom of Persia and the heroics of Queen Esther and her righteous indignation.

Why Hollywood is so Liberal: Selling vaccinations knowing how dangerous they are

Covid, for all practical purposes, is long over. And to say it was a plot to change the way authority is distributed worldwide through the white coat administrative class is evident at this point. Yet it’s clear that the plan never considered American sovereignty of any kind and that Constitutional protections from an out-of-control government would not be a factor. It’s obvious the vaccine given as a result of Covid has significant problems and is far from harmless. There is quite a lot of evidence that it’s dangerous for some people, maybe all people. And most people allowed themselves to be convinced through government pressure to take medicine they otherwise would not have considered, and there is a lot of guilt about it now that people don’t want to talk about it because it’s embarrassing for them. But we are seeing young people dying all the time, especially in sports, from heart-related failures, and the statistics are mounting up across the world from pre-covid analysis. Knowing all that, you’d think that the push for further vaccinations would be going away to some extent. Instead, we are seeing all the same menacing characters, like Klaus Schwab, almost in a panic to convince people to go out and get vaccinations to protect them from Covid. Now we know much more about Covid than we did during that first year in 2020, when the media was telling us how deadly it could be, and we all hid in our homes like cowards because the government told us to in order to stop the spread. And we happen to know that Covid was created in China by human hands for obviously menacing purposes, so there is still all that to deal with. But we know now that other medicines treat Covid much better than the vaccine. Yet, nobody still is talking about them in the media circles or from the obvious attackers of American sovereignty. 

I had a friend look me up a few years ago, right before Covid hit, who asked me when I would start making movies as a producer and director, something I have talked about doing my whole life. I had come close to getting into that business several times and have, at times, been able to work with bit-time actors, producers, directors, and finance people, in ways that most people never are exposed to. And I found it disheartening to learn not only how liberal they are, as a culture, way before woke politics showed itself to be so corrosive to the corporate world, but from a business side, it just was not a viable model. The movies I loved growing up were not going to be made for a long time in Hollywood; the industry would have to collapse completely, and the unions would have to implode as they did in the automobile industry, where upstarts could function without unionized labor. And now, with streaming services being what they are, making movies for theater productions isn’t viable as a business model where you get investors and can promise a payback. The movie business, more than ever, is a gambling endeavor. Sure, some people hit it big, but most fail miserably. I explained to my friend that I was going to wait out the storm and see how the market matures. That was, of course, before Covid, and in the aftermath, Hollywood is worse than ever or more unstable than when I explained those market conditions to my friend. I have several projects that would be interesting, but the release to a theater is just too unpredictable, and the streaming revenue doesn’t make sense to me. So at this time, I’m a hard pass. There are many more things to do in the world than make movies. 

But the exposure I had to the inside mentality of Hollywood was very valuable in understanding why actors and other Hollywood types are still pushing the vaccinations. I once shared a trailer with a young lady fresh off the set of Pirates of the Caribbean 3, and I thought she was very nice. It was an awkward arrangement as the producer had not brought in enough trailers for their production, and we were asked to share, which is something you just don’t do in Hollywood culture. But we shared a trailer, and I was able to hear from her just how desperate most actors are for their next project. They stress about it constantly, even the big A-listers. Choosing to be an actor is a very hard thing to do, and integrity is not a value producers have regarding actors. Actors are paid to do what other people tell them, and personal traits are not valued. I saw from Hollywood that finance and the producer class were captured by woke culture years ago and they simply did not hire actors with strong personal opinions about anything that was unimportant to those producers. Everyone is a pretty face in acting, so it’s easy to trade one out for another. Women know that if they want to work as an actress, they will have to take off their clothes at some point to make the producers happy; otherwise, they won’t get a job for anything. And men learn quickly that the best way to get their next job is to take on liberal causes and attract attention for them. That’s how they get a call to be in a new film because of their social activism.   Hollywood went full ESG years ago, even if Wilshire Blvd took a while to catch up among the agents. 

So it’s not surprising to see actors still trying to sell the Covid vaccination to the public, which comes across as odd at this late date when the rest of the world wants to move on from Covid. To have them talking about Covid still indicates the deeper plot that is so much attached to this origin and how it connects to Hollywood liberals from the finance class who are plugged straight into the Desecrators of Davos strategies for a Great Reset from Covid panic. It was a strategy they had all invested in heavily, and they just can’t bring themselves to the conclusion that it was a failure and that the vaccination has significant liability concerns. But to answer why Hollywood celebrities are still trying to pressure the public into getting the vaccination, it’s because they have to; otherwise, they won’t work in Hollywood at all. It’s the same reason many people believed the media and got the vaccination under Biden’s illegal executive order. They wanted to work. The Hollywood I came to know was not the place of my youth where imaginative people made movies and got rich doing so. It was a radical place captured by extreme leftists, and the actors in those projects only survived by doing precisely what they were told and checking their personal beliefs at the door. Who controls what those beliefs are then becomes the hidden menace, which then is more evident under pressure, which we are seeing now. The malicious intent from the beginning is easy to see now that rational minds have survived the Covid push. Yet the brain-dead utterances coming from actors to get the vaccination of an obviously dangerous medicine shows that the perpetrators went all in on Covid. And they will likely never admit to themselves their complicity in the ordeal, which is why everything they say cannot be trusted. Actors say what they are told to say, just as it is when they do an acting project. Real-life emulates fiction much more than most people realize.

Nancy Nix is the New Butler County Auditor: Roger Reynolds files a Brady Motion that should prove his innocence from political theatrics and State activism of procedural misconduct

There is good news out there worth discussing, specifically that Nancy Nix is going to be sworn in on February 13th for the recently opened auditor job; she is undoubtedly the most qualified to provide a professional continuity to the great work that Roger Reynolds has done in that role for years. Nancy Nix is outstanding in her own way, which is why she was so easily picked to fill that vacancy after a recent trial against Roger Reynolds found him guilty on one of the charges, meaning he needed to step out of the job that voters had just popularly picked him for, knowing that there was a court case trying to establish that he had shown an unlawful interest in a public contract. Thinking back on the trial, which took place right before Christmas in 2022, there were seven charges in total, the seventh one came on during the summer of 2022, and that was the one that he was found guilty of, and it involved Lakota schools. Yes, the same Lakota schools that has had all the Matt Miller controversy, so there is plenty to talk about regarding that one. Once the trial started, Roger’s defense was able to get a charge waived, so this Lakota schools charge ended up being Count Six, and it specifically alleged that Roger Reynolds suggested a partnership between Lakota Schools and the Four Bridges Golf Club to expand an indoor golf training facility for the Lakota golf teams. Jenni Logan, the Lakota treasurer at the time, gave a testimony that the defense did not have adequate time to prepare for; they were caught by surprise by a number of things, which occurred because it was a late charge tossed on by the Sheriff’s office and the unique activism of the Attorney General, David Yost inspired procedural misconduct that left a one sided testimony that the jury sided with in the wake of further corresponding evidence to the contrary. 

Now I know all the characters in this story, and from my perspective, it was 100% politically inspired. You can tell by how the court case was either pushed out to accompany election results or rushed to prevent the defense from obtaining all the information they needed to argue everything in court. Of the original five counts, which were the bases of the case investigated by Sheriff Jones and his department, as reported by Channel 19 news, Roger Reynolds was found innocent on all those counts. This Count Six was added later, right before this case was set to go to court in the summer of 2022, as Jones and David Yost were trying to pressure Roger Reynolds to step down from his auditor role. Based on how things looked, and again, knowing some of the situation personally, it looks like they wanted to put overwhelming public pressure on Roger to avoid court since the system was stacked against him and open up that auditor seat for a pick more favorable to their political desires. That last part is my statement based on knowledge of the case. But it’s not hard to connect the dots; the trial was pushed back to a date after the 2022 election to see if Roger would win re-election, which he did. So the trial was used as a backstop to force him to be removed from office with one of those seven charges. And of those, only one stuck, the one that the defense had the least amount of time to prepare for, not surprisingly. 

However, after the trial, the defense obtained one of the Four Bridges emails that they indicated in a recently filed Brady Motion asking for a new trial just for Count Six that directly contradicts the testimony provided by Jenni Logan. The motion indicates that the prosecution knew of these emails, which weren’t revealed until after the trial because the State suppressed them. Not a surprise, given the political nature of this entire endeavor. I’ve read the Brady Motion filed by Roger’s defense team, which is consistent with what I thought about the case from the start. If the thousands of pages of documents and emails obtained by the State were applied, which they were fully aware of during the trial, but kept from the defense so they wouldn’t have time to prepare a proper defense, then that Count Six would have had a different resolution. One particular email referred to in the Brady Motion as the “Powell Email” directly contradicts the testimony of Jenni Logan, who was the sole witness by the State in support of Count Six. That specific email would have provoked the defense into calling testimony that would have inspired an innocence declaration based on the content, which is different from the Lakota treasurer’s memory of the case, which was quite old to begin with. As it turns out, Logan was interested in the proposal and was undoubtedly not pushed into any considerations.

The Brady Motion indicates that the State withheld material it knew to be exculpatory evidence, violating all kinds of laws. Now for context, the investigators in this trial are the same people who found Jenni Logan’s partner at Lakota schools, Superintendent Matt Miller, innocent of criminal wrongdoing when he admitted in a police report during this same period of time that the same people were prosecuting the Roger Reynolds case, that Miller’s police admission that he fantasized about “drugging, molesting, and video recording three kids from Lakota schools” was not criminal conduct. But Roger Reynolds, a respected Auditor of Butler County, abused his position by just thinking of a partnership between Lakota schools and the Four Bridges Country Club to help kids have a golf academy. To say the least, there is some procedural inconsistency, and that is being extremely polite. And both Jenni Logan and Matt Miller were offered jobs by mysterious forces to get away from the limelight at Lakota schools while things played out as a direct reaction to that Matt Miller police report. If this were not a political case, there likely would have never been a Count Six, let alone all the direct influence of the Attorney General’s office anyway. This case, from the beginning, was political and desired to abuse the control of the law to eliminate political rivals, which worked primarily regarding the suppression of evidence that looks to be intentional by the procedural renderings observed along the timeline. I think Roger has a good argument for a Brady Motion, and it would be well worth the effort and cost to ensure that a person found guilty of a felony has an opportunity at fairness. Not just for his sake but to repair the bad reputation that the court is now carrying because of this case. We want to show that the law cannot be used as a weapon, but as an arbiter of justice for everyone, no matter the political pressures.

Yet the biggest concern was that out of all this, Butler County taxpayers would lose the great work that had come out of the Auditor’s office. And now that Nancy Nix is stepping into that role, at least good government is returning to them, as Nancy has worked closely with Roger for a long time. Political turmoil is a constant hazard, especially when you do a good job and some people don’t want such a good job done. Roger Reynolds has undoubtedly been a target for political inspiration against him due to his high level of competence. And Nancy Nix as her own great person is great for that role. She will face many of the same forces, of course, but she is certainly skilled enough to navigate those dangers in her own way. But ultimately, we must make sure our courts work. In Roger’s case, if there is evidence that would find him innocent because right now he has a felony on his record that will last his entire life, and if he doesn’t deserve it, which based on the evidence suppressed by the State, appears to be the case, well then he should have a proper day in court to defend that charge, and not to be a victim of misconduct that uses the courts as a political weapon, rather than a defender of justice and honor.
