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.

The Evendale Nazis: Occult attempts to get leverage over political rivals hidden behind historical perspective

I know a lot of people, so I think I would know somebody who would be connected to the Nazi group that tried to cause some trouble in Evendale, Ohio, displaying swastikas and other Nazi imagery in an attempt to ignite a race war.  With their masked faces and an apparent effort to look like Hitler’s followers with nicely pressed clothes that looked fresh off the rack from Party City, my very first thought was that these were a bunch of government workers, probably public school teachers trying to inspire hatred by stirring up people of color to rise and fight against the daily barrage of change from the Trump administration.  It was a pathetic attempt by people who don’t know their history or understand why America is turning away from all this name-calling control and back toward tradition, to cause the kind of social unrest that the national news would cover and convince people to go in a different political direction.  It’s not working; the Marxist left is trying to portray the Trump administration and his conservative supporters as racist Nazi lovers.  The Nazis were always convenient bad guys as established in our culture, and they were, by European standards, socialists and certainly weren’t freedom-loving patriots of small government as the Tea Party movement emerged, and from that, MAGA, which put Trump in office.  These were people who didn’t know their history and who were trying to take the shame of Nazi imagery and control the public narrative of that ignorance.  There is a lot more going on with the Nazis and the administrative state population control behind the memory of that occult-based military takeover of the world that runs much deeper than modern politics.  The swastika, for instance, is one of the oldest occult symbols in the world and has been seen in just about every culture at a time when people weren’t supposed even to be able to build boats large enough to cross an ocean.  The oldest known swastika in the world so far that we have found has come out of Ukraine, 10,000 to 15,000 years ago, in the village of Mizyn.  So there was a lot more going on with these Evandale Nazis than just some government workers trying to cause a media dispute to stop the Trump administration.  It was older, occult-driven, and much more sinister but every bit as stupid.

I know more about the Marge Schott story than I would otherwise care to.  When in 1996, the owner of the baseball team The Cincinnati Reds at that time, Schott, said during an ESPN interview that “Hitler was good at the beginning, but he just went too far,” a crusade to remove her from society began, and all rational thought went out the window.  A decade before she made these comments, I knew Marge Schott through a guy who claimed to be her grandson so that he could try to date my wife, which was a whole story of its own.  Well, Marge didn’t have any kids, and in those days, I knew many people in Marge Schott’s circle of influence, so I could root the guy out for the fraud he turned out to be.  Not that he was any competition to me, but he certainly wanted my wife, and the best way to show what a deceitful liar he was, was for me to show that he was lying about who he was and connect him to a more extensive network of con artists who were pretending to be connected to powerful, wealthy, Cincinnati families to take advantage of innocent, beautiful young girls in the modeling profession.  Through all this crazy activity, I got to know Marge Schott a bit, and I always felt bad for her after the comments she made were used to essentially destroy her publicly and force the sale of the Cincinnati Reds baseball team to a different owner.  It was a clear early sign of woke behavior in using controversy to make public opinion adhere to a political message meant to control the mass population.  Marge said some things that were her genuine opinion, which were being used to control social politics and status in society in general. 

The truth is that many people supported Adolph Hitler, including the royal family of England.  After World War I, after the Treaty of Versailles, the powers that wanted to form an alliance against sovereign nations tried to use the League of Nations to rally everyone to the cause of globalism, and they went too far with the German people.  And that gave rise to Hitler, and many people followed him as a pushback against the first attempt at globalism, just as many of those same forces have tried to do with modern-day Putin and even Trump.  Not that any of these people are alike, other than they run the countries they come from, but the sticking point is that they all received public support for supporting national sovereignty over globalist trends.  When Hitler went “too far,” as Marge Schott meant, he had moved toward mass extermination of the Jewish people, for a whole list of new bad ideas that came from the power that had gone to his head. 

But what is most concerning about the Nazis and Hitler was how they connected the political party to occult practices.  This is why I have been talking a lot over the years about how much of the occult is wrapped into our modern politics, even to the point where the Elohim who work against God are political assets for modern-day Marxist incursions into an otherwise peaceful, and successful society.  The occult use of ancient symbols, such as swastikas, is an attempt to cover up just how much of a relationship many people in the world try to use from the spirit world to invoke their menace on the face of the earth.  Imagine the Genie from the popular Disney movie Aladdin being able to serve whoever rubs the magic lamp and grant wishes to the master.  To occult practitioners, that is a secret weapon they seek diligently. You find it all over modern political movements, a desire to use occult efforts to get leverage over political opponents, and the Nazis showed success in this alliance. Still, because it all went bad, the nature of that relationship was being pushed underground, so general people wouldn’t make the connection.  That’s when things start falling apart socially; in the past, these types of people have been able to invoke Nazi imagery to steer people toward some emotional catastrophe and manipulate society toward those sentiments rather than reveal their true intentions of occult concealment for mass social control.  I saw this happen up close with Marge Schott more than twenty years ago, and now well-ironed cosplay Nazis were running around Evendale trying to start a race war ahead of Trump closing down The Department of Education.  This trick had worked in the past, but people were growing tired of it because the historical references of swastika use were very shallow in the scheme of things.  The Nazis were only the most recent to use them for a relationship with something much more significant and terrifying, the religions of the world that predated human civilization as we know it today, to a time before the earth began, and the ramifications of that are horrendous to those with shallow intellects.  As I say all the time, look where there is war, such as in Ukraine, with many hidden secrets of the past that are there, and you will find people trying to hide that past through violence and emotional diatribes.  And in the case of the Evendale Nazis, we are seeing terrified radical Marxists trying to use events of the past to conceal the real problem that has been exposed by the light of day.

Flooding the Zone: They tried to destroy America, but now the shoe is on the other foot

It’s not because anybody told him to, as critics of President Trump’s furious pace of work are trying to say.  They keep referring to a 2019 statement made by Steve Bannon about flooding the zone with muzzle fire velocity as motivation for Trump to work at such a furious rate.  But what Bannon and other political strategists had been saying was evident as we were uncovering a massive amount of corruption that was looting itself off a government that was supposed to be run by the people of America.  But instead, it was taken over by thousands of cuts, all rooted in predatory lending meant to exploit us all for all they could and to sucker us to our doom.  What needed to be done was evident, and even back in the last decade, many of us, I was undoubtedly one of them, were saying what had to happen, and that was to flood the zone with action that needed to happen quickly, not at a pace of government that was controlled by the people causing all the problems.  The looting of our government was caused by the slow pace of action that our leadership structure could recognize, so was part of the scam.  And as we watched the worst of it, the Covid lockdowns and the election fraud, which was essentially a coup by the fourth branch of unelected government that had no right to exist, we knew what needed to be done if only we’d get another crack at it.  When Trump left the White House in January of 2021, things looked pretty bad, even unrecoverable.  And the newly installed Biden administration was rubbing our noses in it with crazy picks for his administration, sex in public buildings, and the disgrace of the Biden laptop.  Clearly, those hostile to America as a nation, Democrats especially, were cheerleading our destruction, and they were hiding their villainy behind the pace of change that would prevent anybody from stopping them.

Trump and all of us have had four years to think about what should have been done differently in that first term.  We learned who the suckers were in the Republican Party and began to primary them out of existence. But many thought it was too late.  I never did, but I always hoped that things would improve.  Some people think my optimism is a weakness, that I don’t live in reality.  Because, for them, reality is determined by the skill level of the participants.  If you have a bunch of losers trying to change a tire on a car, they will probably do a lousy job of it and even injure themselves.  But if it’s a NASCAR pit crew, changing a tire is not a big deal at all.  They will do it quickly, not hurt themselves with the tire iron, and probably still have time to eat a sandwich.  One thing was clear to me during all this, the world was being run by incompetent fools who would be easy to beat, if only we could Save America long enough to put Trump back in the White House for a second term.  So many thousands of us worked every day to make that happen if only Trump could survive the actual tyranny of a government completely out of control and drunk on power.  If Trump could survive the lawfare, the attempted assassinations, and a hostile global media that did everything it could to keep him in exile, then we just might have a chance.  “Might” is the operative word.  We were going through a period that the history of the world had never seen, so nobody knew what to expect. 

And I would tell people, even three years ago, when Trump is back in office, he’s going to flood the zone to undo all these anti-American actions draped over Washington D.C. and protected by a snail’s crawl of action by corrupt losers like Mitch McConnell.  Trump would have to flood the zone with action, where every day, things were happening that most presidential administrations would have considered to be the most significant things in their presidency.  Trump was going to have that kind of approach every day.  And people would laugh at me and giggle behind my back as if I were some crazy old man yearning for the good ol’ days as the world built highways around him.  Trump committed himself to the cause; if the people of America hadn’t re-elected him, he would be in jail by many of these same criminal government types for the rest of his life, and his family would have had all their future wealth stolen from them and given to the parasites of the world looking for a free handout using the government as the robber of wealth redistribution.  We all hoped that we could restore Trump to his proper place in the White House, and he dug in his heels and took on all comers like a great prizefighter, which is what we were looking for in a President.  He didn’t disappoint us.  I am very proud of Trump.  And I am very proud of the people who had the guts to cast a vote for him and to stand up against some of the worst people ever to show themselves to the human race.  I am proud of America for showing the world the light forward and for surviving this last decade or two, even going back to the George Bush days, and Clinton, and especially the parasitic socialist Barack Obama, the kid from Indonesia who openly tried to destroy America the way Islamic terrorists have plotted and schemed for many years.  We survived, and now it’s our turn to run the world. 

The plan was to destroy America, and many were hostile to our existence, so Trump, in his opening days upon returning to the White House, had to act quickly to flood the zone with action to undo all that had been applied.  So, of course, Trump has signed more than 50 executive orders in his opening weeks to stop the purposeful bleeding that had been going on, and he will continue to do so at a breakneck pace because it was the only thing that was going to save our country.  You only get one chance at this thing, so we must make it count.  We saw the teeth of the enemy, so there is no return to polite society to cohabitate with them, only to facilitate our doom.  It’s not that anybody told Trump what to do as a strategist.  We all knew what had to be done.  We just needed someone with the guts to do it and to have his back during the process, which is where we are now.  Obama used to say that if he couldn’t get Congress to work with him, he had a pen and a phone and would use it to bypass the legislative process. And we have seen that they meant an end to all of us.  So now that the shoe is on the other foot, we have to keep the ball and undo all they tried to implement and restore our country to what it was before all these Marxists of the world put a target on it for destruction.  That means flooding the zone with activity at a furious pace as soon as anything can be done and never looking back.  We have this one chance, and we have to make it count!

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

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.

The Bible Says Earth is Roughly 6000 Years Old: Understanding water displacment

I really like people like Mel Gibson and Ken Ham, one the famous actor, the other the creator of The Ark Encounter just south of Cincinnati.  However, both believe in the scriptural understanding of the earth’s history, that it is roughly 6000 years old.  I would argue that they aren’t wrong if you measure years differently than we do on Earth, but that is an entirely different discussion.  Regarding earth sciences, it says that life on Earth is billions of years old and is at apparent odds with scriptural timelines.  Within these kinds of debates, the truth gets concealed from people, which is partly on purpose and other parts unfortunate.  It’s challenging to put science into a belief system, just as it’s hard for people who build a belief system in science to alter a previous assumption because of their emotional investment.  I don’t hold it over Mel Gibson in any way; I can’t wait for his new movie on the Resurrection of Christ.  That will be a life-changing movement for all human history and change the world.  I believe God’s hand has pointed his life in the direction of making this movie the whole time.  So I can’t wait for it in 2026 or 2027 when they finally finish the movie which is a sequel to The Passion.  Because I love the Bible and have had a relationship with it all my life, it comes up a lot more now. How can you love the Bible and love science? The two are incompatible.  I hear all the time that Earth is only 6000 years old and that Charles Darwin was an absolute idiot.  I also hear a lot that we never landed on the moon.  But I think there is compelling evidence in both categories that will erase any doubt very soon, so people believe what they believe, and if it holds them together as people, that is the important thing.  But that doesn’t make everything a fact.  

Mel Gibson is a very smart person who is very passionate about many things, making him a great actor and creative director.  But he has lived a very rocky life, living hard and going through many women.  For a period in the 80s and 90s, he was the sexiest man alive by many considerations, and it was hard for him to maintain his sanity, I think, being a hand of God and having every woman in the world throwing themselves at his feet already undressed.  So, I don’t blame him at all for holding onto scripture like a disabled person holds on to the handrail while going down the steps.  But he recently said something on the Joe Rogan Podcast that was very interesting and part of the movement of trying to fit science into scripture, which is popular these days.  However, I argue differently because I see science trying to force understanding into the same problem, where new evidence is ignored to maintain a scientific narrative.  I’m just going to say it; everyone is going to be screwed up in a few years once we get out into space to discover that humans came from out there, not through Darwin’s evolution, and that many of the things we believe are going to be shattered with new evidence.  That doesn’t make scripture any less relevant or some scientific method.  It just means that discovery gives new evidence and that we must let that evidence tell the story.  Not to make the story fit our assumptions. 

I think these tunnels under the Temple Mount are older than when Abraham went there to sacrifice Isaac to God. And is why the politics of religions are designed to make real excavation impossible.

Anyway, Mel Gibson was telling Joe Rogan that he doesn’t believe the idea that the ocean levels weren’t lower during the Ice Age, as I have been saying, 400 feet lower.  Mel Gibson said that if you put ice in a glass of water when the ice melts, the water doesn’t displace itself over the rim of the glass.  The level of the water doesn’t change.  And from the point of view of mass and how we measure it, he’s got a point.  But he was missing that during the Ice Age, massive amounts of Earth’s water were tied up in glaciers, and those giant blocks of ice were coming down over both poles and were mostly over land.  The weight of the ice itself is what caused the Great Lakes in North America.  The weight was so great that it flattened the earth’s crust in that location, which is still rising back up to a circumference, pushing the water out and into the St. Lawrence Seaway and, ultimately, the Atlantic Ocean.  Another several thousand years, and the Great Lakes won’t even be there.  So because of this massive effect of glaciers displacing large amounts of water over the land masses, the world’s sea levels were 400 feet lower.  At that time, you could have walked from England to France without getting your feet wet, except for a few ancient rivers.  And the Persian Gulf was above water all the way down to Dubai.  Most of Florida extended well into the Bahamas, Cuba, and the Yucatan Peninsula.  If you have read the Book of Morman, there were old civilizations in North and South America that the Nephites and Lamanites interacted with when they migrated from Jerusalem around 600 B.C.  Even then, it looks like land mass was lost to the sea. 

I would further offer that if you look at the previous shorelines of water levels that were oceanfront during the Ice Age, we will discover a lot of ancient civilizations and that the assumption science has of linear technical development is ridiculous.  Rather, we are dealing with the Vico Cycle here, where human civilization has started and stopped throughout history.  And that history goes back millions of years.  Not just 10 thousand years.  And likely goes out into space.  I think there is compelling evidence that Jerusalem goes back to settlement with a cave system under Mt. Moriah and that the Temple Platform that King Solomon built his temple on, and the current Dome of the Rock was significant, perhaps even millions of years ago.  And many of the world’s religions have purposely been put at each other’s throats to conceal the truth, which we’ll likely figure out once we start colonizing Mars.  Much of what we know now about everything will change with new evidence, and we have to be willing to look at that evidence without losing the importance of our belief systems.  It can be tricky business, but it’s not impossible.  Everyone must understand that the bad guys out there purposely seek to pit people’s beliefs against each other to conceal or use the truth to their advantage.  So, because Mel Gibson doesn’t quite understand water displacement concepts and how they relate to ocean levels, that doesn’t mean that what he says in his movies, especially the upcoming Resurrection, is false.  It’s just perspective.  The art says what it says.  And that is the same whether we are talking about the Bible, the Book of Morman, or the Quran.  I find them all very fascinating, and there are certain truths there.  But there is a lot else that science is unpacking, and our scope will increase with new information.  We must have the guts to look at that information and not hide from it, which is the case with science and what we look at regarding previous ocean levels.  And what we will discover under the water, especially off the coast of Cuba, India, Japan, and the Persian Gulf.  It’s going to be a mind-bending few years of upcoming adventure.  And we will all be better off for it.

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.
