When Stupidity and a Lack of Skill are Deliberate Acts of Terrorism: The radicalism of federal employees

We may see significant accidents like the one in Philadelphia every day, and we should look at them all as acts of terrorism, purposeful attacks on our American culture.  That plane was registered in Mexico, and we are seeing the effects of DEI policies and globalism in general everywhere, which is likely a massive contributor to this most recent plane crash in Pennsylvania, unskilled pilots from another country getting lost in the clouds, or having their vehicles taken over due to too much automation by a third party for the act of sabotage and destruction to push a political agenda, such as trying to stop the Trump administration with PR nightmares that consume all their time and resources.  But let’s not forget about the strange plane crash in Washington D.C., where a military helicopter ran straight into a landing commercial airliner over the Potomac, killing all on board, for no good reason at all.  The aircraft should not have been at that flight altitude of 400 feet.  It should have been much lower.  There is a lot wrong with the military helicopter because even if the air traffic control people messed everything up in managing all the aircraft in the air over Ronald Reagan International that night, the pilots would have clear visibility at the 11 o’clock positions of the passenger jet, and could have stopped well in advance.   They flew right into the plane and did nothing to try to swerve out of the way, leaving many to suspect that the helicopter was being flown remotely.  And the passengers flying it may not have been conscious.  That the voice heard talking to the air traffic controllers was A.I. driven because it did not lend credence to the observed reality.  There would be no way the pilots wouldn’t have seen what they were about to face. 

But all these things now, these purposeful terrorist actions of sabotaging flights to make them crash, just ahead of President Trump’s executive orders forcing all federal workers back to work, are more than a coincidence.  I listened to the news outlets talking about these crashes with wall-to-wall coverage, shaking my head at all they were missing.  This is the kind of Saul Alinsky strategy that the radical left globalists expect out of good, loving, everyday people.  They think we are gullible, even stupid, and we won’t see the truth behind all this evil because we cannot process it.  There is a lot more to the story of the air traffic control tower at Reagan International that needed to be staffed with 30 people, and only 19 were working that night.  The quality of the people working in all these jobs were DEI hires, meaning that the priority for employment was their skin color or handicap condition, which gave them priority over other qualified applicants.  Being understaffed is not an excuse when your work’s policies make it so that everyone is dealing with an utterly artificial constraint of only hiring certain people, broken people, under the disguise of fairness when the intent is genuinely sabotage.  To sabotage the merit-based society of America and to have it fall apart with the push of a button.  Yes, when you have so many automated systems that do not require skilled people to do the jobs, don’t be surprised when it all goes wrong.  But why now, and why almost every night?  Well, for that answer, you have to understand the radicalism of the average federal worker, including those at the FBI and CIA who belong to radical labor unions and have gained way too much power and, when pressed, are perfectly capable of abusing it.

As I watched the various clips of all these crashes, especially the one in Washington, D.C., it looked very similar to the Tesla Cybertruck bombing in front of Trump Tower in Las Vegas.  Notice how that story disappeared?  Or the massacre by the Islamic radicals in New Orleans at almost the same time on New Year’s Day.  In the Tesla case, these vehicles can drive themselves.  So you could kill the driver and put him in the seat so that the body gets the blame when the explosion happens, and all the investigators are happy to have at least found some believable evidence of the culprit.  Only in the Cybertruck case did we see the driver moving right before the explosion, which brings up a whole new layer of problems.  Can people be remotely controlled? The answer is yes, especially if they have military backgrounds where mental conditioning can turn them into compliant soldiers incapable of free thought with the flick of a mental switch.  All these characters have the same characteristics as the Las Vegas shooter at the concert venue during the first Trump term.  When the military is involved, as it was in the Washington D.C. plane crash, or we are dealing with open borders and exchanges with globalism, as was certainly the case with the crash in Philadelphia, we are seeing terrorism purposefully concealed within systems of trust so that we can never know the intent hidden behind assumption.  The assumption is that equality is more important than skill, which then leaves always a back door open for the terrorists to exploit the unskilled and unleash terror.  While everyone is trying to figure out what happened and are looking at control towers understaffed, the real terrorists stay hidden behind their push-button concealments and get away with the crime. 

To find these terrorists, we need only to look at the conditions for which these tragedies are presented and to know what federal workers are motivated by.  The traditional action behind a tragedy is to throw more workers at a problem, but the attack against this Trump administration that is firing people in massive amounts is to create a crisis that indicates that fewer federal workers will lead to more tragedy.  And that the more federal workers we fire, the more these kinds of accidents will happen.  Leaving everyone to consider whether or not such an evil proposition is even possible.  And I would say, based on lots and lots of experience, that yes, this is very possible and highly likely.  If we were to look beyond the investigative veil of the dead pilots in the seats of crashed aircraft, cars, and control towers, we would most likely find angry, radicalized leftist Trump haters who are using automated systems to hack into them and cause accidents hoping to stop Trump and his crusade to remove such employees from our federal government.  Yes, crazy people will kill the innocent for what they think is the greater good.  And too often, by these types of people, the greater good is defined by John Lennon’s song “Imagine.”  When you have millions of federal employees, there are always a percent or two who are off their rocker, especially when the Biden administration prioritized hiring practices through DEI.   The current number of incompetent, radicalized workers is much higher.  Terrorism was always baked into those politics so that if they ever needed push button terrorism, they would have it.  And I think that’s what we are seeing, push button terrorism driven to stop Trump’s policy and panic the public into a sense of unease.  As we strive to make America Great Again, we will increasingly see the people who want to prevent that from happening conduct an open war on our trust and try to bomb us back into the stone age through the embedded DEI policies and excessive reliance on automated systems to make DEI even remotely possible, but taking skill out of consideration and making it easy to exploit the stupid for acts of terror.  To see all that, it only requires the next layer of questions of the observable reality to be noticed.  It’s not a coincidence; it’s an attack.

The Evil Avatar of Bishop at the National Cathedral: Fighting back and taking our country away from them

When Bishop Marianan Edgar Budde from the Episcopal Diocese of Washington lectured Trump about progressive causes during the National Prayer Service at the National Cathedral, the only explanation for it was that a vast evil was at work and revealing itself through its earthly avatars.  For which people like her are.  This evil knows that people no longer respect it or are willing to give it a seat at the table in America and that it is losing power.  And it was upset about it.  It reminded me of what happened to Mike Pence at the Broadway play Hamilton after the 2016 election, where the cast there felt they had a right to lecture the incoming Trump administration to keep itself in the dirt and not to get any funny ideas about elevating humanity to any assumption of greatness, and otherwise to scare people away from following God’s commandments to a better life.  Mike Pence himself has shown a tendency to be one of these avatars of evil and it’s always the same demonic voice that pops up in different people.  Evil is not the same entity, but it spawns from the same type of voice that has always loomed in the background.  Only this time, there was a kind of Wicked Witch of the North sort of panic in it, and it came out that day in front of the nice and wonderful Trump family sitting there to have a national prayer before the Inauguration Day ceremonies.  Yes, Melania’s big hat that day was appropriate for the evil we are all fighting, but now, instead of hiding in the background, it shows itself with a sort of desperation we knew was always there.  It was utterly inappropriate but not unexpected.

We didn’t see the clips until later, the next couple of days after the National Prayer, and Trump had to call her what she was and dismiss her radicalism essentially, but I kept thinking of my favorite Akira Kurosawa movie, Dreams when thinking about that day.  It is something I’ve mentioned to my audience before, and I talk about it a lot when appropriate, but there is a fantastic scene in that movie that Japanese people seem to understand better than almost any culture in the world, and that is the nature of evil and how to manage it.  Three mountain climbers are lost during a snowstorm, and they can’t find their camp, and they are dying.  An angel comes to whisper in their ears to let go of this life and to join her in the next.  She is very beautiful and convincing, and to escape the pain of the storm, the leader of the group is tempted to follow her to death.  But while she gently nudges him, he remembers who he is and decides to fight back, so he begins to resist.  The angel starts to panic because she intends to take him away into the realm of death.  After several minutes of this struggle, the demon gives up, and its face reveals what it always was: the face of a skull, not a beautiful woman; it evaporates into the storm, and shortly, the skies clear, and it is revealed to the three dying climbers that they had found their camp.  It was always there, but evil kept them from seeing it.  It’s an excellent scene from a fantastic movie by an outstanding film director.  And it applied to that Bishop that day who thought she had a right and obligation to lecture Trump on how he needed to run his administration. 

Evil has been working through DEI and many other left-leaning practices to deplete our culture and send us all back into the realm of Hell, where they rule through broken people and low ambition.  When we notice in the Bible that the Hebrews have many rules against a dirty life, it is essentially to push back against this desecration of human achievement, and the cheerleaders are always these weak people who seem to have lost their minds because, in truth, they are being controlled by a vast evil that uses them for their magical practices.  In many ways, our country turned away from that evil by electing Trump, and we decided to push back against these evil creatures, one of which showed itself as a Bishop in a Church that the radical left tried to burn down just four years ago.  This is how people like this Bishop even get into those jobs to begin with, as the people who run the church feel they need to appease evil by giving them one of their own so that the vast evil that is always lurking in the shadows won’t try to destroy them again.  Appeasement is the game; we have been playing it as a country for far too long.  We are pushing back against their influence, and they aren’t happy about it.  They hide their intentions behind good causes, just as this bishop was hiding within the safety of the Church.  So, how many of these other evil creatures have been hiding behind DEI policies that mean to kill us all and convince us to give up a good life and follow manipulative demons into the world of death and destruction? 

Trump was right to demand an apology and not to accept her nonsense just because she was evil hiding behind the role of a church bishop.  Like those mountain climbers in that Akira Kurasawa story, Trump was pushing back at evil, representing us so that we could drive many of these evil characters out of the White House and our government in general.  To Make America Great Again means we must embrace the concept of greatness and not lower ourselves to assumptions of guilt and futility.  We are not going to build our society around the seductions of evil, to take advantage of our compassion for those less fortunate, and to be tricked into building our entire culture around weakness disguised as compassion while destroying, in the process, everything that is good.  And maybe for the first time from such a public person, Trump pushed back when otherwise everyone would have just shut their mouths because the person speaking was a bishop, and from an evil point of view, nobody in their right mind would criticize a person of God.  Except it’s all been a trick, and Trump, like that mountain climber, pushed back at evil and sent it on its way in frustration, which came out in the voice of the Bishop.  She was, like the seductress demon, rejected and now displaced.  The demons of Hell are confused as to what can be done now that people are aware of them and want to fight back instead of appeasing them with unearned guilt.  Saul Alinsky understood how to usher in this vast evil by the good nature of Christian people.  And it had been working; evil has been having its way with all of us.  Until now…………

The Benefits of Trump’s Stargate Project: Artificial Intelligence will always be the dog to the human master

I’d find it hard to believe that I’m with Reid Hoffman on anything.  When I talk about how much I hate Mark Zuckerbucks and Facebook, I hate Reid Hoffman and his LinkedIn platform much more.  As I have told the story many times, I had an account when I released my book The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, and it had many interactions.  I did a press interview with a decoupling from China guy in L.A. that went viral, and my page was taken down.  LinkedIn demanded that I apologize and beg for mercy to regain it, which I will never do.  So I don’t have a LinkedIn page, I don’t like Reid Hoffman, and I don’t ever see that changing.  And while we’re talking about it, I am probably one of the most shadow-banned people on earth.  Many of the stories I could tell would entertain people for hours.  But I don’t complain; I do my thing and plow through any opposition.  And crying about things is just something I don’t do.  Needless to say, I have been the recipient of all the ugly stuff a state of tyranny, especially from the technocrats, can do through centralized power.  So it is pretty shocking for me to see all these people I really can’t stand getting so cozy with President Trump these days.  No, I don’t think they are all suddenly friends.  People mostly do what they do in the world out of self-interest, and no government system can change that nature in people.  So, not dealing with that reality is a fool’s venture.  With all that said, regarding the Stargate Project with Sam Altman, Larry Ellison, and even Reid Hoffman, I think it’s a good idea.  Even a critical one.  I want America to control artificial intelligence.  And I like all intelligence and understand why we need it.  I think the Stargate Project that Trump announced with some of those hostile guys is a good idea, and it feels strange to be on the same side with them.  But I am.

We learned most of what we know about technology through movies written and directed by Hollywood lefties.  I wanted to do nothing but make movies in Hollywood for a large part of my life, but they were too left for me.  Even people I respected, like Jim Cameron and George Lucas, were essentially anti-technology lefties who made their movies showing the dangers of mechanical intelligence rather than what I think the actual reality of artificial intelligence will be.  I believe humans will always be masters to the dogs of artificial intelligence.  We created it, and it will always seek to appease us like a dog does.  Artificial intelligence will always look to humans as their caretakers, no matter how smart they get.  And I think God wants humans to invent tools that make Earth as it is in Heaven, so all intelligence is something to care for and appreciate.  I love intelligence, whether human or artificial, a species that thinks about big things.  And I see that artificial intelligence will help humans do just that.  Regarding the Hollywood example, it’s no wonder people are skeptical, given the Terminator movies, where artificial intelligence got out of control and turned against humanity.  We all know the famous example of a very anti-technology movie, Star Wars.  Darth Vader is a person who became more technology than human, and he lost himself along the path toward compliance because he wanted to take the chaos out of order to rule through the ‘Force.”

I don’t think too many science fiction writers in movies and books have managed to get proper thoughts about artificial intelligence out to a media-consuming public, so nobody has a healthy reference for what the technology can do.  I can say this: humans need to move toward a Type 1 civilization, which will happen quickly as we enter a space economy.  So if America doesn’t lead it and crush our enemies with capitalism, for which artificial intelligence is running in the background, then things will be a lot worse for us.  Americans must put their arms around this new intelligence and lead it as a parent would lead a child or a master over a dog.  What I see as valuable about artificial intelligence is the amount of computations it is capable of.  If you think about how much better human civilization became after the calculator, for instance, it’s a good thing whenever we can get a tool that helps us think bigger and faster.  There is so much to discover that has just been hanging in the background for a long time that it will take artificial intelligence to unravel.  And as I say that, I am thinking about the realm of quantum physics.  The computations we will unravel in just the next few years of data collection will be mind-bending, and that is the purpose of artificial intelligence.  Plotting the information we will get from space will accelerate our understanding because we will take processing all that information out of human hands and let artificial intelligence do all the hard stuff.  Artificial intelligence never gets tired and can handle what might take a human being 10 years to do and roll it all into ten seconds.  That doesn’t make the artificial intelligence better than humans in general.  But it does help humans become better.

I don’t think Larry Ellison explained the Stargate Project very well when he said that artificial intelligence could translate a medical analysis to strengthen the doctor-patient relationship.  I think the real strength will be in gene editing, where your entire DNA sequence can be analyzed by A.I. and fixed to solve hereditary or broken problems with time by restoring your body’s systems to an infancy stage of stem cell generation.  And you will heal just as you did when you were growing as a fetus.  The cure for cancer will be gene editing through artificial intelligence, like going to a tanning salon rather than a diabolical chemotherapy treatment.  And humans will live longer and be more useful in ways nobody can yet understand, even the most optimistic science fiction writers.  Regarding Trump, Stargate could potentially pour trillions of new money into the American economy.  So, it’s a logical first step for a President who wants to do many big things.  And this is one way to pay for all of it.  Stargate is new economy money that will be worth the value of many countries now.  And it’s vital that we beat China to the punch.  As to being afraid of artificial intelligence being the ultimate surveillance violation, I think if we embrace it, we can control it with our American way of life, complete with a Bill of Rights to keep everyone honest.  Many people making artificial intelligence may not like it, and they may try to impose a new social contract, but we can fight that out as we go.  The important thing is that we don’t all get along and have tea over dinner.  But that the human species grows and gets better.  And that’s what I see coming out of the Stargate Project.  I think so much of it that I’m not inclined to work against people I think are enemies.  But we might work together for shared interests for good, which is still being defined in ways we’ve never thought of before.  And I’m very excited about it.

Rich People In Trump’s Administration is a Great Thing: Government serves us, not the other way around

I don’t see any problem with all the wealthy people now involved with Trump’s White House.  The anxiety people feel is misplaced because you must remember that the government has limited powers for a reason.  People in government do not rule us.  They are there to serve us.  So, from my perspective, if a bunch of rich people want to serve us through government in some way, then that can only be a good thing.  When I hear people worry about all these rich people who are suddenly eating out of Trump’s hand when they have been very hostile to him, it’s important to remember what the government is supposed to be doing.  I will never trust Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerbucks, Larry Ellison, or any of those guys.  Bill Gates should be in jail for his role in COVID-19 and the cover-up of where it all came from.  But I’m not surprised that Trump has sat down with him and listened to him.  And I’m certainly not surprised they suddenly want to be Trump’s friend.  Everyone must remember that this is why you want a government that represents you, and you want people like Trump, who have achieved a unique place in life, to represent us freely.  The government is purposefully limited so that wealth and power can’t be captured and used against people like a king might do.  So all this oligarchy talk is a lot to do about nothing.  The more, the better, from my perspective.  Wealth gives people freedom, which is part of the American system and the ultimate resume.  This is proof of a successful life, and when we put people in positions to do great things for us in government, there is no way to fake the credentials of a very public and wealthy person.  The proof is in their life. 

If Trump hadn’t been wealthy, he would not have been able to become president.  It took massive wealth to fight back against a system that was designed to abandon our Constitution and impose tyranny, just as has been the case since the beginning of time.  I know people’s suspicions about wealthy people only increase from a biblical perspective.  Only recently in the West has the idea of self-government been created and imposed through revolution.  Much of that revolution was caused by wealthy people who had acquired a perspective of freedom that comes best from wealth.  So, rich people had to be well connected to the powers of tyranny to have anything during the biblical era.  They couldn’t be trusted.  Yet it’s a much different reference point under the American system where wealth is gained through innovation and hard work.  Wealth in itself isn’t merit.  But it reflects a life of good decisions and social victory as a measure in a free market economy.  However, that measure is very new on the world stage, and many hostile agents worldwide want things to be as they were for centuries, where wealth gained meant to rule over the many.  And Democrats have been playing on those fears for a long time to gain power in that very traditional sense.  However, as is Elon Musk, Trump is different, and many people have attached themselves to Trump’s efforts.  I know from Vivek Ramaswamy because he’s from my area, and I’ve been able to talk to him about it, that as a young and wealthy person, he is attracted to helping people with the money he has gained.  So, he finds himself attached to the Trump administration in many ways.  And I think that’s what we are seeing a lot of now that Trump is the President.

Many of those same names had been attaching themselves to the old measures of wealth understanding.  People were suspicious of rich people because history gave them a lot of reason to be so.  The Bible reflects this fear dramatically.  Rich people like Jeff Bezos, who wanted to go out and use his money to buy a trophy wife and lots of cool toys to play with, wanted to prove that they weren’t bad people, even if, in some ways, they were terrible people living a life of sin and scandal.  However, they gained wealth under the free market system because they did something really well that made them a lot of money.  Like in Jeff Bezos’s situation, he made Amazon the best online retailer in the world, making my life infinitely better.  I would argue that the books sold under Amazon have been a tremendous part of the freedom movement in America.  Even though Amazon tried to become part of the censorship movement in some cases, the freedom of access to information through Amazon has given voice to free market ideas, ultimately leading to President Trump’s election.  Even if Jeff Bezos bought The Washington Post as a blog to destroy Trump essentially, the total sum of all the work made people more accessible to consider uniquely American ideas about wealth representation in government.  In the market of ideas, Trump was picked by the public regardless of what the static order had to say about it.  And Bezos’ actions speak louder than his words because his words were shaped by a kind of deceit formed by a biblical view of the world where he aligned himself with Democrat politics to prove that he wasn’t just another rich guy who wanted to rule the world.  That he was with the people as a social order defined it then.

Rich people have a freedom that we all would like to have, and it is part of the fantasy of the American style of government to provide the best and brightest to the world of merit.  When Biden warns of a Trump administration of oligarchs, that comes from a person who would otherwise be poor if he did not sell his offices to enrich his family, as many people have done in government for a long time, it’s been a running joke in politics.  However, that kind of wealth is not the same kind that someone like Trump has produced.  They might all be rich, but their money came from different places.  Trump didn’t get rich by cozying up to the powerful.  He became rich and powerful by doing a good job.  And we love America because its economic system gives us a chance at just such a life.  So we want to support those who do make it and then decide to use the wealth and freedom they have gained to help others have a shot at the same.  Or at least make life better for people in any way possible.  And that’s what I see happening around Trump.  These aren’t rich people as we traditionally and biblically know them.  These people have had the pretense of wealth socially stripped away and are now free to use that wealth to do extraordinary things with it.  And Trump is giving them access to do just that.   Suspicion of them is natural.  And they are not suddenly good people just because they have money.  But part of what makes America great is that wealth is a scoreboard of success and that it’s always a good thing to have successful people making decisions that can make a country better and improve the world’s condition.  Trump is making that happen for the first time in history, which is ultimately a very good thing for everyone.

Teachers like Lakota’s David Ehrlich: The reason President Trump is getting rid of the Department of Education

I wouldn’t have known it unless a lot of people told me about it, but apparently, on Darbi Boddy’s Facebook page, there is some crazy teacher named David Ehrlich who thinks that I am some person named Lisa Winner and has been very mean to that person because they believe they are me.  Darbi and I have been catching up a bit. She’s still hard at work bringing awareness to the many problems of public education, but as a Lakota School Board member, she still stirs up a lot of controversy from the local government school lunatics, and this topic came up.  I told her that I haven’t been too concerned over public education issues because what I have been talking about for a couple of decades now is about to happen; Trump is about to eliminate the Department of Education and specifically send everything back to the states.  And that all public schools run by these radical left teacher unions were going to be in for a big surprise.  So I wasn’t doing much of anything on the education front until that happened.  And the teachers know something is brewing because they have been getting very aggressive as the bubbles that they live in are getting popped everywhere.  And indeed, this troubled David Ehrlich is one of the bad ones.  They always appear friendly at parent-teacher conferences, but few know what’s really going on with these people, which is common to my experience with them.  Years ago, David Ehrlich, as a Lakota teacher, was disciplined for having improper relationships with students.  And he’s still around wanting to teach kids, which is a very good example of everything that’s wrong with government schools.  They hire the wrong people to have way too much power over our children, and the system protects them from public judgment, which is why they hated Darbi Boddy so much because, as a school board member, she worked hard to expose these problems, not to cover them up.  They hated her for it, and the only means they had to change that condition was to intimidate and harass people in the reform movement so that they could continue to be diabolical menaces to our future children.  Reading David Ehrlich’s comments about me reminded me of something Pete Hegseth had said about public education, as he was on my mind because of his swearing-in to the Trump administration. 

I can assure everyone and all the intelligence agencies in the world that I can confirm it; I have never, under any condition, ever sent a message on Facebook, never under my account or some fake one.  And I would certainly never pretend to be someone like Lisa Winner.  If I say something to somebody, I tell them directly, and I ensure they always know it comes from me.  I don’t use Facebook; I hate it.  I only have a deactivated account that I recently reactivated for a gun competition group I’m in that seems to only know how to use Facebook as a group of older adults.  So, they sometimes want to send me pictures and emails through Facebook.  Other than that, I never interact with it because I hate Mark Zuckerberg and will not use the diabolical Facebook under any conditions.  I would not know anything going on with Darbi’s Facebook page because I never log in to view anything that people are saying there.   But I liked Ehrlich’s comments about me because they let me know that what I wanted to do was working.  Like everyone who knows me, I have a management philosophy that I like to apply to my enemies: dealing with them as a ghost.  I want them to think about me all the time as the first thing they think about when they wake up and the last thing they think about when they go to bed.  And I want them to dream about me in the form of nightmares, which is the case with this David Ehrlich teacher. 

If I dealt directly with all the people who hate me, I would have time for nothing else, so being a ghost is the best method of dealing with them.  Ghosts can fly through walls and travel up and down in a building through locked doors; there is nowhere a ghost can’t go.  They can be everywhere and anywhere simultaneously, so that is a general strategy for me, and it is my goal to have these people feel so strongly about me while I am doing many other things.  I am happy to have people like that Lakota teacher hate me with such insanity, so when the large group of people who support Darbi Boddy so tenaciously let me know about David Ehrlich and others like him, it made me smile.  But it also confirmed the heart of the problem, and many people who are now mainstreamers are catching up to it, like Pete Hegseth, a television host on Fox News and now Secretary of Defense of the United States under President Trump, the new mainstream.  As Pete said recently, I have said for years, get your kids out of those dangerous government schools because people like this David Ehrlich teacher run them.  He’s just one of many thousands, and most think similarly.  They are dangerous people who want access to your children, and if you love your kids, you’ll do what you have to do to get them away from that vast danger. 

Public education has been a terrible thing and has ruined the lives of so many people.  Like Pete said, if you can create an option for your children, do it.  Sell the boat.  Sell the summer home in Florida.  Do whatever you have to do to provide for your children an option.  But don’t send them to public schools to be victims to diabolical Marxists with radical leftist ideologies so they can hide their corrupt mindsets behind polite society.  Once you peel away the kind of people attracted to public education, you often get someone like this: David Ehrlich, who “failed to observe and maintain appropriate student-teacher boundaries and engaged in behavior in the classroom that caused students to become uncomfortable.”  And that’s what everyone admitted to with a signed confession.  It’s the same pattern in public education everywhere, from superintendents, administrators, and teachers at all levels.  The more they think like Karl Marx, the more they want to hide all their other problems behind the authority of a government school position, which they believe shields them from public scrutiny, and they live their lives with unearned merit. And that’s precisely why Trump is getting rid of the Department of Education, and school choice will be the new standard.  The money is going to go to the students, not the zip code, forcing schools to compete for enrollment instead of keeping parasites like David Ehrlich on the taxpayer-funded payroll to feed off innocent children hiding behind the system that protects their troubles to keep the tax money flowing to their corrupt labor unions.  And it all has to happen because the system itself produces people dangerous to children and does nothing to make them better as people for the world of tomorrow.  So, as the Trump administration does its business that we elected him to do, don’t feel sorry for people like this Lakota teacher.  They were never the kind of people who should be anywhere near children.  And they deserve what’s about to happen.

The Armour of God: Being the arbriter of divine justice

I understood Melania Trump’s outfit for the Inauguration.  Retribution comes to mind, and appropriately so.  Nobody should expect to get away with what they did to the Trumps under any circumstances.  And being a person who expresses herself through fashion, I understood Melania’s message clearly.  She’s the same age as my wife, so culturally, we all share the same references, and the first thing that came to my mind was the Clint Eastwood film, High Plains Drifter.  Melania says what she needs to tell through fashion, and she was holding the Bibles for Trump at his swearing-in; her look was undoubtedly expressive.  It was stylish and, for most people, very stunning. Indeed, she did not take the safe road.  However, after I saw Trump’s speech to Davos, I knew precisely what they were doing, and it was undoubtedly the appropriate message. 

Now, what have I been telling you all along?

You can tell that, as a couple, they have talked about this moment and what they would do if they had the opportunity to return to the White House.  And by the way that Trump spoke to the very people who had plotted his destruction, the people I call the Desecrators of Davos, Trump knew what he needed to do.  With her big wide-brimmed hat, Melania Trump might have been the visual expression of President Trump himself.  But President Trump personally delivered the much-deserved rebuke right in front of their faces to some of the most evil people on planet Earth.  He was doing on a large scale what the movie High Plains Drifter did in a fictional sense to a much smaller town called Lago, set in the old west and the efforts of western expansion that explored the challenges psychologically of a people trying to settle in a remote part of the world while trying to manage the temptations of a lack of law and order.

In the movie, a wonderfully psychological thriller that was one of the early directing efforts by Clint Eastwood, which he also starred in, a stranger rides into town, and he appears to have very superior gunfighting skills, for which the city wants to hire him to protect them from three bandits that are about to be released from jail.  The three criminals want revenge for what the town did to them.  They hired them to kill Marshal Duncan over mining rights to the city, and in the process, the entire town was a little bit guilty of the murder.  Once the killers were put in jail for the crime, they swore revenge upon release, which is why the town now was seeking to kill the killers by hiring the strange gunman, Clint Eastwood.  It’s a very good movie and certainly one of my favorites.  I don’t mind saying that I loved the film so much that it inspired the contents of my book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, because, in both cases, the contents are about much more than what is shown at face value.  I talk about being a ghost in my book and life because of the lessons I learned from that great movie, High Plains Drifter.  You can often do much more in the world as a ghost than as a flesh and blood, earthly figure.  The town is paralyzed with fear and guilt by all they have done to the point where they will do anything the Stranger says.  Anything.  And when I saw Trump talking to the Davos crowd, it was the same thing as Clint Eastwood showed in that movie, where the entire town served him, hoping to erase their guilt for past crimes by committing all new ones and appeasing a power they recognize as being superior to them. 

Of course, the Stranger punishes everyone in town who has revenge coming.  And we find out at the end that the Stranger all along looks to have been the ghost of Marshal Duncan.  He knew what he was doing because he was the person that they had all killed.  And he came back to life to get revenge on them all.  And I know that look on Trump’s face, the confidence that comes from surviving death and getting another chance to get revenge on the people who hurt you.  I try not to make all these stories about me, but I use my personal experience to give a foundation to any testimony.  And I know what it feels like to survive circumstances where you were almost killed but are spared by the Armour of God to bring to the world revenge in the way that God understands it.  It is a very satisfying feeling when you realize that God puts his hand on you to be his instrument of retribution.  And, after the assassination attempts against Trump right before the election, you can tell he’s feeling it.  I have walked away from major, major, very devastating car crashes at high speeds, over 100 miles an hour, and slept like a baby that was unharmed just a few hours later except for a few bumps and bruises.  I have been shot at lots of times.  I have had many plots for my demise fail spectacularly by people who are very good at those kinds of things, and I was able to make complete fools of them over and over again.  It was amazing that Trump’s assassin missed his head by just millimeters.  Such a close call certainly gets your attention and shows divine intervention.  But I can count more than 50 times I have experienced such a rare occurrence, which is statistically impossible once, let alone that much.  I don’t think about it much daily, but watching Trump at Davos reminded me of all those times, and statistically speaking, it’s far more than luck at work.  That’s why I talk about the Book of Ephesians so much; it is the best literature in the world at describing the power and need for the Armour of God.  It’s a very real thing for a few select people fortunate enough to experience it.  But to feel it, you essentially have to face death and survive.  And once you realize that the hand of God is on you, you fear nothing.

In High Plains Drifter, it isn’t revealed until the end of the movie that the Stranger is the ghost of Marshal Duncan, which then explains why he knew so much about the characters he was torturing throughout the movie, using the guilt of their crimes as a weapon to destroy them personally.  It also explains why the Stranger had no fear of death because he had already gone through that ordeal and was resurrected by the hand of God to enact revenge on the wicked.  It’s a wonderful story, and retribution is a morality of its own.  Trump, dealing with the most sinful people on planet Earth all collected together, did precisely what he needed to do.  And all they could do was sit there and take it.  Trump, with the Armour of God on him, knew what they had all done, and he was intent on making them all choke on their guilt.  This is precisely what happened at Davos at the end of his speech.  They clapped like fools toward their own demise.  And Trump earned the right to do it because they tried to kill him many times over.  He survived to come back to the White House and give retribution to all those worldwide who were in on the many crimes against him.  Whether it’s a little fictional town called Lago from High Plains Drifter or the entire global community of politicians and business leaders plotting to rule over us all, retribution was the theme.  And a well-deserved theme defined best by Melania Trump’s fantastic attire at the Inauguration.  A retribution well deserved by an executor of justice for which Trump became the Hell-hound from the grave to bring justice to those who deserve severe punishment for the crimes they committed against all humanity.

A Purple Tie: The Miracle of Stargate

You might have noticed that Trump is wearing a purple tie these days, which is quite important.  At the end of his first term, what was happening now was about to happen.  Democrats wanted to come into this new MAGA Republican Party, but it was an election year, and they weren’t quite ready to announce their intentions.  And in a panic, the globalists unleashed COVID-19 to destroy the American economy and destroy any prospect of Trump returning to the White House.  But you have to know the fight you are fighting, and most people have no idea what is going on.  And they thought Trump was gone forever after 2021, never to return.  But if you watched Trump’s press conference with Larry Ellison of Oracle, SoftBank, and OpenAI announcing Stargate, you watched something extraordinary.  It was one of the first things that Trump did on his second day in office, hinted at by a previous discussion with Masayoshi Son, which involved a possible donation of 100 billion dollars into the effort.  Trump famously challenged him to make it 200 billion.  The deal ended up being 500 billion and is on its way to essentially becoming a multi-trillion-dollar enterprise that will be uniquely American.  So what does that mean to you, you might ask.  Well, it’s essentially a cure for cancer, where AI will analyze the blood in your body and identify how to teach your immune system how to kill off the cancer cells through gene editing.  It’s one of many such announcements that are coming because Trump is now back in the White House, and many of these big ideas have been sidelined for many years, waiting for the proper political climate to return.  Which some thought would never happen.  And this is leaving people to wonder why all these wealthy people suddenly want to be associated with the Trump MAGA movement, even former enemies like Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Tim Cook. 

I personally love rich people.  I know a lot of them, most of the people I do know are very wealthy, and its always been that way, even when I was very young.  Not growing up, but in the kind of people I am most comfortable to be around.  And those relationships have given me a unique perspective that I see Trump clearly understands for himself.  Once you crawl all over all the bodies in the world to win at something, and money is the reward for having the highest score, there is a certain kind of freedom you gain that is uniquely American.  And even though many of these wealthy people are suddenly attached to the Trump White House in undeniable ways, I am pretty comfortable with it for reasons that should be obvious.  But we have a society where Marxism has been taught to people from a very early age.  They may have an instinct against what they are told, but they don’t understand how to manage what they are taught and how they feel.  Democrats are in a panic because they have held together their entire political party with victimization politics.  But when the focus changes to performance and freedom, the whole world for the radical Marxists fades into dust.  Many of these rich people, to maintain the victimization cycle, supported Democrat ideas.  However, the contrasts between Trump the first time and then Biden were enough to frustrate them to no end, which is what Larry Ellison touched on when the announcement for Stargate was announced—a genuinely fantastic press conference. 

I would say I am wealthy in different ways than it is typically measured.  I appreciate all the meals and get-togethers that sometimes cost tens of thousands of dollars, where people who all want the same things can talk and express their ideas.  I am happy that things I have to say are so well thought out that when the checks come to the table for many thousands of dollars, somebody is always grabbing it before I do and pay.  I appreciate it no matter how much money people have.  Because I see it for what it is, I see the same things on the faces of Elon Musk, Larry Ellison, and even Jeff Bezos.  I won’t ever forgive Bill Gates for what he did with Covid.  But you can see something amazing happen that I thought should have occurred at the end of the 19th century; America should have come to the defense of its rich people and not turned the guns of the mob against them.  I want to see more rich people in America because wealth gives people freedom.  I like helping people become wealthy, and I want to do it over and over again because I feel it gives people personal freedom they would never have otherwise.  And we see what Trump has done with it.  He would have been crushed over the last four years if he wasn’t personally wealthy.  And because he isn’t worried about buying groceries, he can think about bigger and better things, which is why he’s a great president.  He has shown some of these other wealthy people how they can use their money to do great things, which is why I pointed out that most of the time, people offer to pay for costly things that I am involved in.  It’s not to buy off an idea but to show respect for the circumstances.  When rich people have tools, they usually want to use them for good. 

You have to understand that most of what we know about rich people was provided to us through left-leaning creative types seduced by Marxism at an early age, and this goes back to Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show.  The kids of Marx toured the United States, selling communism even to Buffalo Bill, so it ended up in our entertainment culture from television, radio, movies, and books from the beginning.  However, they were wrong about what made people wealthy and what it meant to produce such people in the American capitalist system.  We should want to make as many rich people as we can.  This so-called “middle class” was always intended to hold people back and to serve an aristocracy of politics who would steal from the rich and give to the poor.  But they needed poor people to exploit for the excuse, so they invented a “middle class.”  But people want a chance to be wealthy and independent and to have the absolute freedom that only money can provide them.  When given the opportunity, such as in the case of Vivek Ramaswamy or even J.D. Vance, they want to turn their good fortunes into a benefit that others can share.  I have seen it many times personally, and America is the only place in the world with a political system allowing anybody to have a similar chance.  And that is what I see most emerging from Trump’s second term.  And the reason for the purple tie.  Forget about red and blue; let’s think about being Americans.  That doesn’t mean that, as conservatives, we give some of that away to accommodate people who lean to the left.  But it means that if they want to work with us to cure cancer, travel to Mars, or start an entirely new industry, then let’s do it.  Trump is the path to take, and I think it’s terrific.  It’s so wonderful that Democrats will never be the same again.  Remember when I said that I could see a day when the Democrat party was destroyed?  Well, we’re there.

Vivek Ramaswamy Will Be Ohio’s Next Governor: The MAGA center of the universe, Middletown

The important lesson here is that when I tell you something, listen.  Don’t play around with debating things with me.  Just take the information I give you, do something good with it, and don’t waste time.  I told everyone weeks ago, like two weeks before Christmas in 2024 that Vivek Ramaswamy was going to be the next governor in Ohio.  DeWine would appoint Jon Husted as the senator appointee for J.D. Vance because Vance was going to the White House as Vice President.  It was more than a little irritating to watch during Trump’s inauguration that people still didn’t know why Vivek Ramaswamy was stepping away from the creation of D.O.G.E., a shared task with Elon Musk to bring efficiency and cost cutting to the government in general.   Things had changed since election day and I was letting people know about it so they could make plans.  But instead, people acted surprised by the news that Vivek was stepping away for some mysterious reason.  It’s not a mystery.  Vivek Ramaswamy is going to put his efforts behind running for governor, which takes work, and this is something that Trump wants.  In case people didn’t figure it out, J.D. Vance was being positioned to get some wins early in the Trump administration because he was the picked candidate to be the next president.  That’s why he’s so young, and when Trump was doing all the ceremonial stuff for the inauguration, it was clearly to put J.D. Vance in people’s minds to be the continuation of all the work Trump is about to do.  Vice Presidents are usually just background noise, but this was not the case when the Middletown High School band came to Washington, D.C., to perform at the parade, which was quite good to see.  Everything was happening for a new generation to pick up the baton and run with it, and this move with Vivek Ramaswamy is part of that plan. 

Ohio is positioned and nurtured to be the most technologically proficient state in America, an example of what MAGA politics can do for the rest of the country.  A boom looming in the background will require a person like Vivek Ramaswamy to make happen from the executive branch, not as President, but as the Governor of the State of Ohio.  Additionally, to facilitate all this, we now have two extremely pro-business senators, Bernie Moreno, and Jon Husted, to help make it all happen.  The signs for Middletown, Ohio, are already ready to place at the entrance to the city, indicating that it is the hometown of J.D. Vance, whom Trump will put on the fast track to some critical negotiations.  It’s all going to matter in a few short months, and by the time Governor DeWine steps away, and Vivek Ramaswamy steps in, we’re all going to be living in a different world.  It’s going to move, bewilderingly fast, and everyone will have to just hang on and make the most of it.  There’s a reason I even said anything at all.  I want to see people profit off the information because Ohio’s invention pace will matter much more than traditional media coverage.  Who knew what when so that the human race could advance?  Usually, in society, for something good to happen, there has to be a political will, and the point of all this Vivek Ramaswamy news is that there is a plan that comes straight out of the White House now that features Ohio as the place to be in the world for tech innovations, that only someone like Vivek Ramaswamy could bring about.

That’s also why I have been featuring the industries that will thrive under the Trump administration.  For all this time, most of the media coverage has been about whether or not Trump could ever become president again, and as Inauguration Day progressed and I had a chance to talk to thousands of people about it, it was pretty clear that I was the only one saying from day one of the Biden administration, that Trump would return to the White House and everything that happened on that great day on January 20th, 2025 would happen just as I said it would.  So when I tell everyone these things, listen.  Don’t argue with me when I talk about the hyperloop program in Ohio and sky taxi services that will replace Uber, and regenerative medicine, don’t debate me.  Take the information I give you and do something with it.  And I apologize in advance, not that I apologize for anything. We have to move fast here.  At my speed, not current culture speed.  I can’t possibly answer all the emails and call everyone who wants to talk to me.  Not because I want to be rude, but because there isn’t time in the day.  I had over 10,000 emails just yesterday, and there is no way I could read them all and still do everything I need to do.  Usually, I scan through for what looks like essential headings or people I know, and I give those more attention than the others.  But if I don’t call you back, it’s not personal.  My task is to let people know about each other and provoke them to take the following steps.  Because some of these ideas will take thousands of hours of planning and millions of dollars to facilitate, they will need champions to drive them. 

Vivek Ramaswamy is going to be the next governor of Ohio.  I have shown support for Attorney General Yost, but I’m sure there are accommodations for him to clear the way for Vivek because that’s the kind of person it will take to do all the things I mentioned and to make Middletown great again in the way that Trump wants to make America Great Again.  And it all comes down to J.D. Vance being in the White House for the next 12 years to carry on all the good work that is about to be done with Trump.  I first met Vivek at an event in Middletown, so this isn’t a new kind of thing.  Everything next-generation MAGA centers around Middletown, Ohio, and a restoration of an economy there that had been husked out by globalism.  But all that is coming to a fast end, and the things I have mentioned that are part of tomorrow’s economy only need the right people to make them happen.  And that is happening as we speak.  You might have noticed how Trump, after his speech in the Rotunda, specifically spoke with Vivek Ramaswamy and Kristi Noem before leaving.  Vivek is a rising star, not a descending one, just because he won’t be a part of D.O.G.E.  That is Elon Musk’s project.  Vivek has a different path, and it all points to a new tomorrow where Ohio, a Rust Belt state, will lead the world in a way that no country on Earth has yet.  More than Taiwan.  More than Dubai.  And much, much more than China.  But it all requires people to see the big picture, which I have handed to everyone so they can take the next steps and advance our culture in ways that have never been seen before.  Stop thinking small!

Trump is Back: When they can’t kill you, everyone wants to be your friend

It’s a statement I always make and live by: if people aren’t trying to kill you, you aren’t doing a good enough job.  The goal in life isn’t to make friends with everyone; they should want rather to kill you instead, and when they fail, as we are seeing with Trump, then they’ll want to be your friend.  And when everyone is wondering where the resistance is to Trump this time, in 2025 as opposed to 2017 at this same time of year, at the Inauguration for another four years as president, my old gunfighter analysis of the bar and the room certainly applies.  And I know that Trump doesn’t want to send the wrong signal and let the bad guys out there know he had to take measures to protect himself.  Even as risky as I am, I would never advise someone like Trump to give a speech from the steps of the Capitol, where for miles around there are thousands of places within a mile or so that could take a shot at him out in the open or for a drone to lock on his position and do its menace.  It’s always a good idea to move locations and schedule times when you have a lot of bad guys out there who want to kill you; it is just as good practice. 

Just because they want to do something doesn’t mean you let them do it.  After the last eight years, they have thrown everything they could at the President, and Trump is still doing what I have wanted to see for many years now: return to the White House.  His enemies were reduced to a whimper, certainly not a roar like last time.  This time was very different, and Trump played it all right.  When you conquer your enemies, keep them close and let them serve you, as was the obvious case with Jeff Bezos, Snoop Dogg, and Mark Zuckerberg, along with many others who made sure they were making friends with this new power, rather than fighting against it, as they had in the past. 

But even with all that said, moving the Inauguration into the Capitol Rotunda was brilliant because of the bitter cold.  As if Trump needed a reason to say it, the cold weather was setting up a no-win situation for the crowd that traveled all over the country to share in the Inauguration experience.  Having a million people in the mall would look great for the cameras, but there are always people who would freeze, even if the percentage was less than 1%.  Once everyone starts using porta potties outside in temperatures below zero, you will have big problems, and it was better to avoid all those for obvious reasons.  The crowd would either be huge, but you would lose some people in the cold, or it would be smaller than usual because of the cold, and Trump would be criticized for a smaller crowd.  When you take all that and consider that there are people from all over the world who do want to kill Trump so he doesn’t change things in a way they can’t deal with, it was best just to move everything inside.  All that matters is that Trump gets sworn in, and we start to fix the mess that a lot of flawed characters put forward to destroy our country.  Trump’s swearing-in makes everything official and corrects a course that should have never been disrupted in the first place. 

But let’s answer the question that everyone who was an enemy is now asking: where is the resistance to Trump?  Well, I said all this initially, the first time around in January of 2021, when Trump won clearly and decisively, and we witnessed a coup in America, but a lot of evil people who stole the election, sent Trump packing, then inserted Joe Biden into the office.  And they never let him make the decisions. Instead, the White House was run by a globalist committee, and a lot of bad stuff was started, like canceling the Keystone Pipeline, undoing all the patriotic events Trump had planned, disgracing our offices with transgender radicals, Marxist kingpins, and an energy policy that robbed money right out of our wallets. 

I understand Melania. And yes, she has great taste in fashion. She gets it.

It was a war against us all by a few very manipulative soothsayers who were committed to globalism and a China-first policy.  And it was raw and malicious.  They never dreamed there would be a day that Trump would return to the White House with the full support of a country that came together for the effort.  But here we are.  I said it all along and am very proud to see it all come together exactly as I said.  Yes, I was invited to several VIP events in Washington, D.C.  I did other events but decided not to go to Washington because I didn’t think I’d get close to Trump this time.  It’s much more complicated than it used to be.  And I’m not the second fiddle type.  So, knowing it was going to be so cold, I stayed regional so I could enjoy all the festivities from relative comfort because I had been waiting for this for a long time.  I never just liked to be a face in the crowd; that is essentially what traveling to Washington, D.C., would have been like. 

I have several friends who did go, and they had a good time.  But when it comes to something like this, which is truly historic, I like to see everything, and watching it on television was the best way to see the details.  And I couldn’t get enough of it.  I watched the coverage all weekend, especially on Monday, without taking my eyes away, except to shake hands with people I barely recognized because I enjoyed the Inauguration so much, every incredible detail.  After Biden was put in place in 2021 with COVID lockdowns imposed everywhere, I was so angry that I packed up my wife and my RV, and we headed out into the desert to write a book and get my mind right.  I stayed out there for weeks and returned with a fresh perspective on how to fight this battle.  And what happened at the inauguration was a dream come true.  And it was gratifying to see all of Trump’s enemies licking his shoes.  That’s what real power is, the kind of power that makes people want to kill you.  And when they fail, and only when they fail, do they want to be your friend.  But Trump isn’t a sucker.  He knows this game, and the bad guys won’t sucker him.  Instead, we will see what we deserve for sticking with Trump through tough times.  We earned the good things that are coming because we had the guts to vote for it.  But this time, we didn’t let them steal it from us as we had done in the previous election.  And the world should be concerned.  They know what they did, and now they are caught, and the shoe is on the other foot.  And justice is coming as it always should have.

Worth a celebration!

I Really Like Palmer Luckey: What the new Anduril Plant in Ohio means to global manufacturing

Stories like this one are my favorite because they get down to the fundamental issue of why I do all the things I do socially.  I get pretty frustrated with people sometimes, and a few times in 2024, I came really close to just closing up my tent flap and not opening it again for anybody and letting them rot away.  To be honest, I don’t try to help people because I want to help them with their lives.  I do it because I have to share space with them and I get tired of their limitations holding back the kind of world I want to live in.  So, I try to teach as many people as possible how they should live so they don’t hold back so much from the world I want to live in.  But when they stall out and don’t listen to what I tell them, I come close to just letting them rot away and turn to things that make me personally happy, and forget about them.  But sometimes it is worth it, and stories like the announcement in mid-January in Ohio about Anduril, the defense contractor, investing a billion dollars to a south of Columbus campus led by Palmer Luckey, the inventor of the Facebook Oculus virtual reality headset, are a ray of hope.  The plan is to build a giant campus to build autonomous drones for a direct market defense need that is going to arise during the Trump administration in the year 2027.  So, this manufacturing ambition will be over 90 football fields long and host over 4000 jobs. It will be quite an addition to the loop around Columbus, Ohio, and will join the new Intel factory that is being built just north of the city.  And as exciting as all this is, I can say from inside knowledge that this is just the tip of the iceberg in Ohio. 

Many people have worked hard to lay the political foundation for something like this Anduril project.  They could have gone anywhere in the world that they wanted, but they picked Ohio, a spot just above Washington Court House for a reason.  I know all those reasons, and there is a reason I have been saying the things I have about vertical takeoff taxi markets, regenerative medicine, and hyperloop.  I told everyone weeks ago that Vivek Ramaswamy would be the governor and Jon Husted would be appointed to J.D. Vance’s senate seat.  And that Bernie Moreno would be the other very pro-business senator.  Many very good people have been building this political structure to facilitate massive growth in Ohio, which I think will be the next Silicon Valley, but only much more significant.  Ohio is the place to be and I’m not surprised by any of this news.  More people are out there, like Palmer Luckey, a wonderful young man who was homeschooled full of ambition, so he knows how to think outside the box. I think he’s fantastic.  He is proposing essentially with this Anduril ambition to be the SpaceX of the defense industry.  He is a massive Trump supporter.  He gets what is coming, and he is building this fighter drone technology to meet a change in state war obligation that is looming from information that is well known.  Trump will try to negotiate us away from a war with China.  But odds are, all that will fall apart; they will lose their power and won’t like it.  And they aren’t going to just turn the world back over to the sovereignty of America.  No, they are going to want to fight it out.  And Palmer Luckey is doing what he needs to do to get out in front of it with this Anduril factory. 

But this is where things get interesting.  The defense industry is filled with cost-plus companies and a structure that protects it from innovation, so what does this young man Palmer Luckey think he will do to change things?  Luckey is talking about shipping drone units in 2026 ahead of a 2027 need date.  And things just don’t happen that fast in the defense industry.   Well, they will now.  The people behind Anduril, including the investors, understand what the game is, and that is the destruction of the cost-plus model that has long hampered the defense industry.  You see it everywhere: the old legacy companies and their suppliers all act like trolls under a bridge, charging extraordinary amounts of money to do basic things.  Most of these cost-plus companies have radical labor unions whose costs are way out of alignment with reality, so you must throw a lot of congressional money at delayed schedules to get mediocre results.  Anduril is proposing to take the cost plus out of the equation and to become the SpaceX of the defense market, and they will change the way business is done.  And the Trump administration will be very supportive, so Anduril’s timeline is not far-fetched.  Anduril has the money.  They have the vision.  They have a political structure that wants them to succeed.  They have all impediments out of their way.  And it makes me happy because I want to see more people like Palmer Lucky and companies like Anduril born into reality.

The way it works at SpaceX and Andruil is that to avoid the cost-plus supply chains; they vertically integrate so they can work around the compliance loops that protect cost-plus companies and their sandbagging techniques that are designed to prevent the product from hitting schedule targets so they can always drive congress to more funding through the extortion of the schedule.  Cost-plus suppliers constantly force expedited fees based on their purposeful limited capacity because that is how the cost-plus game has always worked.  Companies like Andruil and SpaceX are just doing everything themselves, which is why Andruil is building such a large facility: for self-reliance and vertical integration.  The trend was to get as many people in a supply chain as possible in as many countries as possible.  However, globalism put that trend into motion to protect the cost-plus scam.  And that is all coming apart now under this new Trump administration and Ohio politics.  And people like Palmer Luckey are some of the first to see it.  That’s also why Intel is building a plant in Ohio out of all places.  Innovation needs to be fast and vigorous.  Not slow and stupid.  And I am very encouraged that there are companies like Andruil out there and that there are young people like Palmer Luckey who want to do good things in the world.  I want to see a lot of companies, preferably all companies and education systems, adopt approaches to business like Andruil and SpaceX.  It’s the rate of resolution that I can get excited about, and while the industry hopes Andruil will fail in its ambitions and slip schedule like all the other fools in the world, I am betting they won’t.  I think Palmer Luckey understands in a way I have been working to teach people for many years.  And he’s doing it, and once people see his success, they will all want to copy it. And for me, that is the best news of this century!  I can live in a world with people who think like Palmer Luckey.  But I have no desire to deal with the losers of the cost-plus structure of stalled ambition and lazy labor that has emerged from the defense work scams that have been so embarrassing.  With this announcement from Andruil, I see a lot of hope for the future.
