Why Trump Won: Brand building is the key to establishing and maintaining relationships

So many important lessons can be learned from the Trump election of 2024.  But, the reason Trump won has yet to be talked about much.  The assumption is that Elon Musk came in at the last minute, after the assassination attempt in July, and put many millions of dollars into Trump’s campaign as the world’s richest man.  But to assume that, you would have to believe that money wins elections and that those who raise the most money and spend it will win the election.  Of course, the media, which sells ads and makes its money off politics during elections, wants everyone to think that.  But it wasn’t true.  Kamala Harris spent on her 2024 campaign 1.5 billion dollars and ended up, at the end of it, millions of dollars in debt.  She spent more than she had, which was a lot.  Who in their right mind gave her money who had that kind of money?  I could have told them they were wasting their time.  Wait, come to think of it, I did tell them.  But they didn’t listen.  Reports say that Trump spent much less than that, hovering around the 1 billion dollar mark, which is what many think it takes to run for president these days, but I’m not even sure that is the case.  But the bottom line is that Kamala spent a lot of money and didn’t move the needle in any kind of positive direction.  So why?  That’s the most critical question.  If Trump and Kamala spent even more money, why did the money spent work more for one, not the other?  So you can’t say that Elon Musk bought Trump the election, that would not be accurate. Instead, something much more important happened, and Trump did a masterful job at it, as we would all expect. 

A person’s brand is one of the most essential attributes of their personality; it’s how people come to know you and what they think of you when you aren’t around them anymore.  In everything you do in life, you must build your brand and use it to gain cooperation from your peers.  I have a very strong brand presence on many fronts.  For instance, I was having a fancy dinner with many people with strong opinions about my brand.  We were all ordering dessert, and the people with us at this dinner were from all over the world.  So I ordered a cake with many special effects to demonstrate how extraordinary the desserts were at this dinner and encourage our guests to be a little daring.  After all, I figured my brand was so good that I could handle a little wildness.  So I ordered a special cake, which came out with dry ice spewing everywhere. A tree made of cotton candy came out on top of it.  Those combinations of things made my dinner guests laugh because of the contrasts.  They were not very “manly” things to do and seemed like something they would never expect coming from me.  But that’s also why the Trump Dance works for Trump at rallies; it contrasts his tough guy image.  That image is his brand, and it’s how people learn the nature of the values of the advocate.  Without a brand image to maintain, my ordering the cake and the reaction to it would have just been about food.  But I made it into something else to advance why we were having the dinner together in the first place, as a team-building event that people would not soon forget. 

Trump has been one of the best in the world at building and applying brands.  His family name, Trump, is recognized worldwide and establishes quality and luxury for those who see it.  Trump built the brand over a long period and, about ten years ago, decided to use it to put America on its back and to Make America Great Again.  When people saw the Trump Brand anywhere in the 80s and 90s, they think of wealth and luxury, which is a way for Trump to take The Power of Positive Thinking and apply it to wealth generation.  So when Trump decided to run for office in 2015, he just brought his brand with him and beat Hillary Clinton based on the strength of his brand, as he spent a fraction of the money most campaigns would to win such a high office.  When he disrupted the system and everyone in the world came after him, Trump used his brand to rise above the critics in a way only his extensive, positive brand would have allowed.  Like my story about the cake, if you have a strong brand, you can provoke much action that either supports or contrasts it.  For my dinner guests, expecting an uncompromising gunslinger to shoot anybody who does injustice is a sharp contrast to sitting there eating a chocolate cake with pink cotton candy all over the top.  Showing such a moment of comparison within my brand earns trust because it contrasts my customary behavior.  But without the brand, there wouldn’t be any opinions or jokes to evolve a dialogue of trust that was needed for such a moment.  On a much larger scale, Trump used his brand to carry the lofty goal of Making America Great Again into a value system people felt they could invest in.  And they did.

One of my favorite campaign items from the 2024 election is a Trump 2024 switchblade.  I obtained it under unusual conditions, and it was undoubtedly one of the best souvenirs of Trump I had ever seen during the election.  Trump’s name was on everything, from knives to hats to shirts, flags, glasses, anything and everything.  And that was because Trump had built a brand that gave value to obtaining those items.  That Trump knife would be just another knife if it didn’t have Trump 2024 written on it.  On the other hand, Kamala spent a lot more money trying to create an impression, but her brand didn’t have roots in which people could invest.  So, as she tried to make an impression on voters, she did not have a brand that people could understand and invest in.  Nobody was rushing out to buy a Harris hat or shirt.  But people were flocking to buy a Trump hat.  They couldn’t make enough of them.  And in the end, that is what ended up mattering most.  Even though Elon Musk spent hundreds of millions of dollars on the MAGA movement and Trump himself, it was Trump who built a brand worth investing in.  Without the brand, the money was tossed to the wind like drunk gamblers in a casino late at night. The brand allows people to invest in the person who built it, for better or worse.  But once you have the brand, you can use it to sell ideas to people who have enough rooting to grab on and take action.  And the Democrats, they didn’t do any of that.  They tried to create impressions but had no substance behind their brand to sell an idea.  That caused them to toss much money at the effort only to have it wasted because there was no brand worth investing in.  So the ideas that Democrats had couldn’t be sold to a public so empty that they’d buy any impression.  When it came to Trump, people bought into a brand he had built for over 4 decades, and he put it all at risk to become president.  And as a result, the brand outlasted the attempts to destroy it.  Now, with that brand value, America can do as Trump’s brand indicates: to Make America Great Again.  When people see that term, they think of quality, wealth, and tenacity.  And the nation can rally to the cause because a brand can sell the idea and sustain the results.  Rather than just creating more false impressions that people have become long weary of.  And this will be the case for politics over the coming century.  It’s not enough to spend money. Instead, the money has to have a brand that people want to invest in and make it their own.

We Need More Kids: Birthrates need to increase dramatically

I haven’t let myself get too encouraged by Elon Musk’s “Occupy Mars” campaign.  He’s been excited about it for more than three decades now, and he has made himself a multi-billionaire, with the projection to become the first trillionaire not for the love of money and fame that comes with such enterprises but simply because he wants to bring science fiction, that he loved as a kid, to reality through engineering excellence.  I didn’t think he had much chance until this last election, and I’m glad he did what he had to do to see his vision through.  It wasn’t enough to be one of the world’s greatest inventors.  I remember the stories of Edison, who was incredibly late in life trying to solve the riddle of manufacturing rubber for the upcoming car industry, which was a real problem.  What Edison never solved was the politics of the matter.  And, of course, Edison’s employee, Tesla, had all kinds of great ideas about energy and how it could be distributed.  Edison’s method won out because it required infrastructure, the government could manage it, and unionized employees could stick themselves right in the middle of the whole thing and give us the uninventive mess we have today.  Seldom do good ideas break through to the kinds of frontiers that Elom Musk is about to enjoy because he moved his politics toward the winning Trump administration, which is about to unload on the world all the best that science fiction could give us.  A significant boom to the aerospace markets for which SpaceX will be able to do all it ever thought about and more.  Suddenly, going to Mars and colonizing it is very viable, with real economic value coming directly from it, and it will all be very exciting.  I’m officially a major supporter of the Occupy Mars movement.  It is the most exciting thing we can do as human beings.

But a math problem has been at the heart of all our politics for centuries now.  The responsibility for adventure or the sacrifice to higher powers is at the heart of earth worship.  So, our next technical objective to overcome is not the engineering feats of getting to Mars, colonizing it, and terraforming the planet to restore it to a vibrant place that was likely full of life.  The problem now is with human beings being able to wrap their minds around the whole effort, and for that, I have found myself obsessed with reexamining King Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem and studying all the vast tunnels under the city and understanding the importance of the most contested piece of real estate on planet earth.  Because I’m one of those people who think the evidence all adds up to Jerusalem being necessary to the seeding of Earth from a distant point in history, more than 10,000 years ago, and the cave under the Holy of Holies which is now concealed by the Dome of the Rock under Islam control was there long before Abraham went to that spot to kill his son Isaac in a sacrifice to God.  I think we are about to make a series of earth-shattering discoveries that date many of these things to much longer than we typically measure them, and the ramifications will indeed be jarring to all involved.  That’s all part of the adventure.  Because what’s important here is at the heart of most of the world’s problems, do you advance life through sacrifice, as they did at that Temple?  Or do you advance life through science and thought?  The new incoming Trump administration will rule through thought.  He, Trump, has been given a divine mandate to fight back against the forces of evil that have held back the human race for many thousands of years.  And it’s going to get untangled over this next Trump term. 

That leaves us to talk about birthrates.  We have needed them to increase for several years.  We have a culture that has openly sought to cheapen life, to kill their babies much the way the ancient Canaanites did to their Mesopotamian Gods, especially Baal, who is the real villain of the Bible.  Baal, the dominating god of nature, is in constant combat with Yahweh, the God of the Hebrew people and author of the Ten Commandments.  One group wanted to kill their kids to prop up the sentiment to their deity of choice, the nature-worshipping cultures of Baal or the self-fulfilling, creative cultures of Yahweh.  We need many more children on Earth to migrate human beings into space, and that is considering the massive amount of AI that will be required.  We are talking about the plot of the movie Blade Runner here, the morality of the nature of life itself, and whether or not robots will have human rights as a form of intelligence.  These are significant issues, but the bottom line is that if we want to put 1 million people on Mars by the very near date of 2050, which we do, just 25 years from now, then we have to change a lot of our life policies from what they have been to what they need to be.  We need many more families having many more kids than they have been, and they need to have fun doing it. 

We need to get back to the birthrates of the past, where families often had five or more kids all the time.  My grandparents lived during such a time.  My grandmother was a twin, and her mom had so many kids that they traded them like baseball cards.  “Hey, I have an extra one of these. Do you want one.”  A family member took her brother because my grandmother’s family had way more kids than they could afford to take care of themselves.  Some of these families had more than ten kids each.  This kind of Western expansion mentality is essential to human growth stages, and we need to exceed even that in the next few years to expand human life into space the way we need to.  Depressing that ambition is simply a held sentiment to the old Baal worship of the Canaanites and other sacrificial cultures around the world.  Our low birthrates of today are caused by social sentiment toward earth worship, to keep humans attached to their mother, and not to grow up healthy and independent as a culture of adventurers.  But to cleave close to mother in an unhealthy way that stifles us permanently, and ultimately destroys our species for the good of the planet, and views humans as a virus upon that mother which needs to be destroyed.  Ultimately, human growth into space is to settle that long-residing dispute in Jerusalem. Do we kill our kids to sever the jealous whims of a broken-minded deity, or do we have lots of kids and treasure them all as representatives of human consciousness and the perpetuation of the creative spirit of humanity into everlasting life born from the earth, but to settle the cosmos on a series of many adventures that was the point all along.  And to that, I say, “Occupy Mars!”

The Lion King Goes to Notre Dame: Deposing the global villians and restoring a king

I was very excited to see President Trump represent America at the re-opening of the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris.  I have a personal relationship with that cathedral, and I wasn’t sure if I’d ever get to see it again.  When it was burnt down by what we now know were radical Islamic terrorists, not an electrical short as we had been told, I was furious because I had just gone on a trip there with my family to visit the historical site, and we witnessed up close and personal just how radicalized Paris had become as we walked the distance from the train station speed train from London through all the neighborhoods to the historic site.  We saw the radicalism up close, so it was no surprise that a year after we visited, Notre Dame, like several other catholic churches, was burnt to the ground over a holy war provoked by some of the world’s worst characters barely concealed behind polite society.  I had been following the restoration of the cathedral closely, and when Trump won the election and it was reported that he would be attending the re-opening, it was more than satisfying considering all that had happened.  But as I watched him arrive and take his seat, with all eyes upon him, spying a gaze upon the world’s most powerful person, I couldn’t help but think of a couple of popular Disney movies for the context of what we were seeing.  Usually, when he is thought about, Trump is considered a lion more than an elephant of the Republican party.  So Simba from The Lion King came to mind as the only proper reference.  Then, of course, there are the various Hunchback of Notre Dame movies that are so much a part of our entertainment culture.  But the way the world looked at Trump at that event was like a king returned very much following the plot of The Lion King, and suddenly Trump was there, as was a restored representation of Western civilization.  And it was very satisfying.

I had been very vocal when the cathedral was burnt down. I made my opinion public with written articles and told anybody who wanted to listen or interview me, what I thought.  My family visited in 2017, and we bonded with the place historically. I felt the attack was a personal affront to me and Western civilization as a whole.  And I got into a lot of trouble professionally over the Notre Dame incident.  Several people went for my jugular because they thought the world was going to become a progressive monstrosity and that they were going to cancel culture me out of existence for insisting that radical Islamic terrorists were responsible for the violence in Paris.  After all, we had seen it firsthand.  As a family, we walked over 15 miles all over Paris, so we weren’t reporting helicopter opinions about the place.  But those were the early stages of woke cancel culture, and it was stunning that I was made a target over saying the obvious, and that didn’t go over well.  My anger was further entrenched.  Of course, I survived it all, and the people who did all they did to me are no longer around, and I can only say they did it to themselves.  I tried to warn them, but they didn’t listen.  When you play hardball, the ball hurts when you get hit with it, and I threw it back with some juice.  However, like the Lion King movie and famous stage play, which I have seen many times, Trump was a character very similar to Simba and would soon be cast out as an exile.

Before we visited Notre Dame, back in London, there were protests against Trump outside of Parliament by Big Ben, and the world was seeking to overthrow President Trump’s American influence over globalism.  We would, of course, watch over the next few years as the American-lettered agencies working with scandalous characters on the world stage plotted the demise of President Trump and threw him out of office with the same kind of flair that Scar killed the father Mufasa in The Lion King to the now famous soundtrack of Hans Zimmer, to theatrical effect.  With one of the great symbols of Western civilization destroyed and an American president overthrown through massive election fraud, things were not looking good in the world.  And we all know the story of The Lion King, as Scar took over the tribe, represented here by Joe Biden and his band of globalist insurgents and Chinese connections, things went downhill quickly.  The world started drowning in inflation and terrifying woke policies.  And all look hopeless for a long time.  But like The Lion King, the castaway exile, Simba learned to be a king, and eventually, he would return and depose Scar and get revenge for what had happened to his tribe. And the return would be triumphant and celebrated, just as it was when Trump returned to the fully restored Notre Dame cathedral.  The cathedral and the American presidency had been targeted for attack and destruction as the enemies of the world plotting the doom of Western civilization itself with diabolical plots of evil and mayhem.  And like Scar, they thought they had won the throne forever.  But those dreams shattered once the king returned.

There were periods over the last few years when I thought we’d never see anything good again.  After the burning down of Notre Dame and the way many progressive elements, already significantly entrenched in the United States, were behaving towards a progressive plot over the demise of all Western civilization, I figured it was all coming to an end.  I remember thinking at a checkpoint during Covid, where I was fully ready for a shootout with authorities over an unconstitutional search and seizure event, that this was how it all ended.  Luckily, when I told the authorities that they were smoking crack if they thought what they were doing was legal, they didn’t push it because they knew they were in the wrong during the Covid lockdowns.  And nobody had to draw guns and fire at each other.  But it got close.  I was the only one on the roads for about three weeks in March of 2021, and I had decided I wouldn’t put up with Scar running the world I was living in.  Like Rafiki in The Lion King, I cheered on the king’s return as the best solution, and that is precisely what happened.  And Trump made a triumphant return to Notre Dame as the world who plotted the demise of him and all of us looked on with sudden admiration.  Trump was the celebrity the world wanted, even the bad guys, and it took all this for them to realize it.  And suddenly, the King returned from exile, and the great cathedral was restored. Then, the world looked a whole lot better.  Happy endings are real, and that Notre Dame event was proof of it. As scary as it was, we’ve seen it before in our fantasies, like the story of The Lion King.  We have all lived through it, being taken over by our version of Scar, the villain.  And the world suffered terribly while Simba was in exile.  But after a triumphant return, the world watched with happiness and gazed upon the king as he returned to lead Western civilization forward in ways nobody previously thought possible.  And the world was suddenly a much better place.

Why D.O.G.E. Will Be Successful Where Others Have Failed: Vivek Ramaswamy and I share close personal friends, and everyone gets it–this time

Vivek Ramaswamy and I share close personal friends.  I happened to have had dinner with a few of them the other day, and we had an excellent talk about D.O.G.E., this new Department of Government Efficiency, and what it was that would make it successful as opposed to every other attempt in history to reign in government overreach and waste at the expense of taxpayer budgets.  We also talked about their appearance in Time Magazine, a special commemorative to President Trump.  From my own experience, I have been pointing out government waste for a few decades now.  To take on a job like this, you have to have independent wealth to a certain extent.  Suppose you are making money off the system. In that case, it is nearly impossible to reform the system, and most of the political figures that have come and gone through the Washington D.C. culture may have had a lot of money, but they aren’t independently wealthy.  To manage something or to reform it, you can’t be a desperate fool trying to rub two dimes together that you found in a couch to make a penny.  You need to be able to insulate yourself to have objective thought.  That is what makes Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk unique at this point in history; they are independently wealthy.  Trump is independently wealthy.  Most people joining Trump at the White House are independently wealthy, and Democrats have taken notice.  They have an unnatural hatred of wealth which is part of the problem.  At the heart of all government waste are these anti-capitalist, money-hating unions that have a side story of collapsing the entire economic system of the United States, and that is certainly the philosophy behind the labor movement, which is at the heart of the problem.  So I was talking about this issue at a nice, intimate dinner, and I can just tell everybody, this D.O.G.E. thing won’t be like anything else ever done or attempted before.  And, it could only happen because of the independent wealth of the leadership.  Because to do the job correctly, you have to have the objectivity to avoid the face up against the glass perspective that most in government always have.  And solve the problem for good.   I know from personal experience that Vivek Ramaswamy is one of the few who are qualified and able to perform the task.

Of course, I’ve been involved in the background many times to try something like this D.O.G.E., such as SB5 back in 2012, where there was an effort to make public sector unions illegal in Ohio.  This has been a problem for a long time; unions are attached to government labor because you can’t have any meaningful discussions about budget reform with radical left-winged unions running the budgets.  It doesn’t matter if it’s a public school or the FBI.  Too many government agencies are locked in place, and too many labor unions pay people too much to work too little.  So, taking that problem on involves many people who make money off the chaos, including many politicians who built that system.  Many became very rich from insider trading, so once everyone drinks from that cup of corruption, there is no going back, and things get out of control.  The SB5 effort failed for many reasons, but it came down to independent wealth.  Too many people involved in the reform were in their key income-making years and could not be objective about the necessity of government operations.  They feared not making their own money out of that process, so they were too weak to perform the task when the rubber hit the road.

The Tea Party effort tried to work with the system for many years, but the SWAMP was deep, and the alligators and pythons wanted to eat you every time you tried to pull the plug, so they were very vicious.  That means you can’t be a swamp creature and still drain that swamp so that we can make something much better.  I remember when I first met Vivek Ramaswamy through the friends mentioned and others, and we talked about where he was in life.  I understood, and he asked me if I wanted a picture with him while we were talking.  I felt strange about it; I’m not the kind who does that very much.  But looking back on it, it was one of those pinnacle moments.  A year later, I had him sign a copy of his book Woke Inc. because I felt he was on to something unique and special.  He wrote in front of my book, “Speak Freely,” because at that time, he didn’t know what he was going to do.  Maybe he would be a senator or the President, but he would use his independent wealth to try and give something back and fix this government waste problem.  He understood that the way to do that was not to attack the problem where it was most potent, but in other ways, such as through free speech, so he wrote what he did in my book.  Vivek Ramaswamy had earned the ability to criticize the system through his private wealth because he wasn’t dependent on it for his livelihood. 

Ironically, that is precisely where Elon Musk is in his life.  What good is being the wealthiest person in the world if the world is declining in value?  It’s not the stuff you can buy, but it’s what the stuff is worth that matters.  And how D.O.G.E. will work was outlined in Vivek’s books.  I saw this early on and have been very excited about that approach.   I knew it would work and that Vivek was on to something that could have only come from his unique perspective.  And that D.O.G.E. will be very effective, not in the way that the government unions are ready for.  They are not prepared to fight on this front but believe me, we have tried to give them all a fair shake, and they spit in our faces.  Don’t try to befriend people who spit in your face.  If they want to destroy themselves, then let them.  And that, ultimately, is what will happen with D.O.G.E. and why it will succeed while all other attempts have failed.  When we’ve had government shutdowns in the past, it was always what labor took away to extort resolution through pain and suffering, the typical radical labor union perspective.  People are tired of that type of management method and are ready for a barrage of free speech on the matter, which only people who are independently wealthy can afford to utter.  In that way, government reform won’t be done through the front door of legislative control, which Congress can hide behind by saying that the rules of government labor tie their hands.  But that the foundation that all the rules were built to protect the very lazy and corrupt from the merits of judgment reside that will be dealt with, for really, the first time in the history of the world.  And I am thrilled to see it and that Vivek Ramaswamy is at the heart of the reform.  I know it will be successful because he and many others are also involved in very healthy ways in front and behind the scenes.  And it’s about time!

Kash Patel is the Only Way to Save the FBI: Power hungry, corrupt, and pretentious, government employees need checks on their authority

The FBI was a wasted effort for me a long time ago.  When it was announced that Kash Patel would be Trump’s nominee to direct it, I thought only he could do anything to save the institution from destruction.  After what they did to Trump and many of us over the last decade, there is no forgiving them for their government activism, and really, a terrible job done.  And it’s a problem that goes far beyond the FBI.  I know people who have been in the FBI, and their mentality is very similar to the kind of nonsense we saw with Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe when he was grilled in front of Congress recently over the terrible coverage of Trump during an assassination attempt.  To avoid criticism, he went on the attack and cited his coverage of 9/11 and tried to play the “Hammer Time” card, “can’t touch this” because I’m a patriot angle.  It was embarrassing, but it revealed the same kind of arrogance we saw from former FBI directors, such as James Comey.  When Trump fired Comey for many good reasons, I was part of a panel that CNN called to talk about it, and I remember the attitude of the time.  Here was Jim Comey, who had just let Hillary Clinton off criminal conviction for her abuse of a public office with her email scandal and destruction of evidence, who was spying on Trump’s campaign and going on a personal crusade to destroy General Flynn, because Trump’s people were new and didn’t know all the rules of conduct.  Comey inspired the FBI to go on a witch hunt against Trump that would go on for eight more years and personally attempt to destroy Trump in every way possible.  Comey led a coup against an American-picked president by a civilian government, and his attitude was just like Ronald Rowe’s.  I’m important.  I work for the government.  Don’t ever question me, or I will yell at you. 

Trump fired Comey for his actions against him and Flynn, and he put in a swamp creature to appease his critics, Christopher Wray, and the FBI only got worse.  Trump tried to play the game fairly, and the FBI, from top to bottom, had no intention of being fair back.  They had government power, and they were hell-bent to use it.  And if you questioned them, you might be next for harassment.  And that’s what the CNN producers told me after we shot a spot for Anderson Cooper in the parking lot after I said what I said on the air about Comey after the first year of Trump’s first term.  It was apparent to me what was going on.  This was an out-of-control FBI, and Trump had just fired Comey, and the question at the time was whether Trump could have, or should have done so, based on the evidence at that time.  I used my usual velvet hammer response to talk about essentially a problematic subject matter when they asked me on the air if Comey had lied about his activism against Trump.  I also said that Comey was more like the fiction writer Ian Flemming, the creator of James Bond.  There was more about Comey that was fiction than was factual.  And for that, the CNN people told me the FBI would target me for talking against them on national television.  Of course, I told them I didn’t care; there wasn’t much they could do to me that they hadn’t tried to do up to that point.  I didn’t arrive at my conclusions about Trump recently, but I had a lot of experience with the FBI leading up to that point, and I thought I was being very nice about it.  All things considered.

But since then, the FBI has led the efforts to destroy Trump and his members of the former White House, especially Rudy Giuliani, Steve Bannon, and Peter Navarro.  All of them were good men, and as I told everyone several years ago, Trump would put them back into his second term in the White House.  Fewer good people pursue justice than Rudy Giuliani, who was personally ruined by the Joe Biden White House.  Rudy had the now-famous laptop from Hell that had all the dirt on the Biden crime family, and the FBI tried to cover up that evidence with personal destruction against the guy who had the evidence.  I have watched the FBI many times over the years destroy evidence to drive a political narrative, and I have next to no trust in any of them at this point.  I always think of the Christmas shooting in San Bernadino by a radical Islamic couple as one of the worst examples in American history of an FBI coverup.  Right after the killings, and the couple who performed the acts of terrorism had just been killed, the FBI let the media into the couple’s apartment under cover of “full disclosure” and protecting the 1st Amendment.  But in reality, it was the purposeful destruction of a crime scene by letting the press ultimately contaminate the scene so nobody would learn anything about the terrorists.  I would say most of what the FBI does wrong is purposeful, such as not asking the following next layer questions when the terrorists of 9/11 wanted to learn how to fly planes from a Florida instructor, not to land them.  When you try to pin them down with criticism, they get all emotional and try to play a patriot card, just like that loser Ronald Rowe did.  They try to intimidate away criticism so nobody dares to question their lofty power in Washington, D.C. 

Kash Patel, who had the highest security clearance in government and was a great guy under Trump’s first administration, wrote the excellent book Government Gangsters and was all over the movie Police State.  I think the FBI, in its current form, is more dangerous than open terrorist organizations.  We would be better off without the CIA and FBI most of the time because they have become so corrupt and power-hungry.  Just reviewing the FISA warrant process that they abused against Trump shows the playbook they’d use against any of us to harass us over political disagreements.  Then, when they raided Mar-a-Lago in an attempt to knock off President Trump before he ever had a chance to return to the White House under a legitimate election, give me a break.  The FBI should be dismantled.   The only way to save it, and I mean the only way, is to put someone like Kash Patel in charge of it.  And the people who caused all this trouble don’t get a vote.  We aren’t going to be pushed around by losers like the Secret Service Director or James Comey, who was far more interested in wine tasting than rule of law ethics.  Comey showed himself to be a protector of Democrat Beltway politics at the expense of justice.  And those who came before and after him were no better.  So there isn’t anything to preserve.  Anybody who wants to try to make the FBI work properly would do well to get behind Kash Patel and support him without radicalism.  And be happy that he’s not as evil as most government employees are, self-centered, and corrupt beyond recognition.  I was always right about them, even when CNN pressed me in front of many people.  And I said it as politely as possible, but it doesn’t change the fact that we have never been able to trust the FBI with the kind of power they have had.  And it’s time for them to pay for the abuse of that power so the country can survive.

Starting Wars to Control People: It was always the global strategy by secret societies like the Skull and Bones

It’s been a dirty little secret for a long time, but it has been going on since the dawn of human civilization, and we are seeing it come to an end here in 2024.  And that is the strategy of starting wars to control mass society.  Most recently, the example of the secret society, the Skull and Bones at Yale University, is to produce political figures who would keep that trend going to maintain an aristocracy of globalism for which people like John Kerry and the Bushes would support as they moved into political positions.  This is why those forces are in a rush to start more war ahead of President Trump’s next term, because after he’s back in office, there won’t be any tolerance for it.  It’s also why the Deep State fought so hard to get rid of Trump the first time, spending eight years doing everything they could do to pound him out of existence and to ensure that civilian control over the American government would never happen again.  Yet it did, and now the panic is viperous.  Few know it because it is a secret society, but in the lobby of the Skull and Bones building is the word “War” written on the wall as their foundational concept, and it’s how they always planned to rule.  These people never had a desire for world peace.  War was what they used to grab power as a Deep State and to use that power to stay in control.  When we say Deep State, as in the case of the Skull and Bones, it’s the desire to run a government that is beyond the civilian elected government.  Any notation of control that the Skull and Bones have about their role in government is unconstitutional. 

Just as the Bohemian Grove people believe on the West Coast, the idea of a secret society to mold the next generation through hazing rituals to rule in the background was only going to be possible if they gained the ability to start a war in one region, then to push for peace in another.  For instance, consider the protests of the Vietnam War that have had so much documentary evidence to review.  On the one hand, the Deep Staters would push for the expansion of communism into South East China by using war first against Japan to soften up the Chinese to communist attack from the north flowing out of Russia.  Then the sad bell boy, Ho Chi Minh from the Treaty of Versailles monstrosity, poised and angry at the French occupation of their homeland in Vietnam, adopted communism as their calling cry to freedom.  Americans were called into the war by the same globalists who started the war to provoke war protests then and usher in the hippie movement that had communist foundations to open the door in the West for such thinking on America’s college campuses.  None would have happened without the pressure of war to drive social change.  The war wasn’t about freedom in Vietnam; it was about bringing down the West in the same way that communism brought down China.  And China was being built to become the first state of globalism, meant to do the same to the rest of the world, which we see happening today.  China, the creation of the globalist one-world order threatening the world financially and structurally, pushed everyone into communism so that centralized governments could control everything in the background.  Trump was the first Republican to call the bluff card on this mess during his first term when he started putting an end to all these phony wars, especially regarding North Korea.

North Korea was built to be a sympathetic target to draw attention away from China.  As pretty much a useless threat to the world, they would launch their empty missiles out and over the Sea of Japan routinely, as the media would report the antics frantically to the world, hoping to provoke public reaction toward animosity toward the ruler, Kim Jong Un.  And who could forgive what the North Koreans did to the young man from Cincinnati, Otto Warmbier, who was tortured ruthlessly?  Fortunately, Trump saw through all these strategies and ignored the warnings of how dangerous Kim Jong Un was, and reached across the border to shake the young man’s hand and develop a friendship.  Left to their own devices, most people will do terrible things to each other, such as what happened to Otto Warmbier.  And that is actually how the Deep State recruits their people out of organizations like the Skull and Bones, with embarrassing sexual confessions meant to bond members for life, to use the deceitful nature of other human beings to mask their true intentions of a global aristocracy.  Those same rules apply to global politics, and nobody was ever supposed to give a member of the Axis of Evil, as George W. Bush always said of North Korea, a chance to be redeeming.  But what Trump exposed was the phony threat North Korea was to the war, provoking the Deep State to come after him even more vigorously and to attempt to inspire assassination attempts on Trump’s life, just as they did with President Kennedy.  All this mess started with these secret society members, such as Yale’s Skull and Bones, entering politics and bringing with them the philosophy of war to instigate trouble around the world so that they could be the firefighters to put out the fire they started themselves, which was certainly the case over oil in the Middle East.  All while ignoring the massive amounts of oil that were always in the United States and could have killed the enemy with competition and capitalism if they wanted to, and saved many lives and the dismemberment of innocent people.

This brings us to the ending of the Ukraine war, which was phony from day one.  When that war started, provoked by the Biden crime family for many reasons that only helped the Deep State maintain political control over the world, anybody who was flying a Ukrainian flag in the United States was seen as a fool.  People were catching on to this silly game and wanted an end to it.  The Deep State plan was to push Vladimir Putin into a war where he would lose and become the next China, just as Japan had forced China into a weakened position.  With Russia, the attack was to destroy it as a sovereign country.  And the same Deep Staters were trying to convince people that Putin had put Trump in office and that all of them needed to be removed to have a good world.  But the Deep State, run by these secret society losers, went too far, and this process of Trump exposing it shattered the illusion of self-government.  In a somewhat honest election, Trump was re-elected to the White House, and all the wars around the world that had been brewing are suddenly going to have cold water thrown on them all.  And that’s how the Deep State gets destroyed because the only real power they had was just as the Skull and Bones people had, through secrecy and mutual dirty laundry on each other to bond them to villainy.  And start wars to drive the political narrative, allowing them to gain control.  It was a game that suddenly ended in 2024 for the first time in human history.  Secret societies were dedicated to these war-like causes long before the Skull and Bones people came along.  However, this trend extends back to all known times, and it only ended when Trump went back to the White House, backed by a government of people who had expressed control over their government for the first time.

Individuals Beat Corporations Every Time: Why success happens

This could apply to anything, but studying why some movies released at the theater are better than others is critical because of how the movie business works.  People get together and tell a story, and the value of that story is released to the public for them to vote on.  People tend to think of Hollywood as very glamorous, but in truth, very few people who work in the industry ever get to be a part of an extraordinary success, a ratio even less than in other fields of endeavor.  So it is always interesting to understand why some people put together a string of hits, such as Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, along with producer Howard Kazanjian.  An even more important example is the role that George Lucas’ first wife, Marcia Lucas, played in some of the most memorable and good movies of all time.  Also, why did a small, family-owned company like Lucasfilm lose its magic once it became a corporate conglomerate under Disney?  All this was in a fabulous book called ‘A Producer’s Life,’ which was about the life and times of Howard Kasanjian, who produced several of the Star Wars movies and the start of the Indiana Jones franchise, among other classic films like Cool Hand Luke, The Wild Bunch, and working with Alfred Hitchcock.  This book caused much stir when it first came out because Marcia Lucas was just as upset about Disney killing off Han Solo as I was for many political reasons.  That was just another example of how corporations that use processes to isolate individual contributions produce products in the world that are not as desired by the market.  In the case of the new Star Wars movies, the belief was that the film itself held all the magic and that a girl could replace a character like Han Solo to accommodate all kinds of woke rules wrapped around the axil of globalism. However, the Disney people never understood Star Wars, and this book had the opinions of someone who was very close to Star Wars, who was the key to their success initially. 

The book came out in 2021, right in the middle of the Covid monstrosity, and Biden had just been inserted into the White House, so I wasn’t in the mood to think about movies.  But I promised myself that if Trump returned to the White House, I’d get the book, take a bit of a vacation, and allow myself to think about some fun things.  For me, these are some of the most fun things, and they show how entertainment impacts culture as a whole.  And when it comes to those movies, Indiana Jones and Star Wars, few people have put together the kind of hits as filmmakers such as Steven Spielberg and George Lucas.  The corporate belief is that just anybody can make a good movie or a good anything if only enough money is spent on the project, and in film, typically, the industry attracts all the same kind of sharks looking for an easy dollar as Wall Street does.  But few of them, if anybody, understands what makes hits and misses in the marketplace.  I have always wondered why George Lucas was so good from 1975 to 1982.  After that period, George Lucas wasn’t very good at all.  He may have been interesting, but he had lost his touch, and I always thought it probably had something to do with his wife, Marcia. 

There were two good Star Wars movies, and then everything fell off the rails with Return of the Jedi.  The movies were self-funded and only distributed through 20th Century Fox.  George Lucas hated corporate filmmaking; he wanted to make independent films from a family-driven company.  This allowed someone like the film editor, his wife, Marcia Lucas, to put her personal touches all over those early movies, which were key to their successes.  Something Disney and all its resources today don’t have is that personal touch.  During Return of the Jedi, Marcia and George divorced, and she ran off with the stained glass window guy working on their Skywalker Ranch.  That sounds kind of cheap and stupid, but George Lucas was working hard at the time to maintain his independence from the studio system, so he was putting all the pressure on himself.  This is another reason why those family-made movies were so good.  It wasn’t the board of directors or BlackRock assets making the decisions; it was George Lucas.  But it drove a wedge between him and his wife, and he never recovered.  Neither did she.  They should have stuck it out, but that’s history now, and the results tell quite a story.  Because she worked with her husband, Marcia knew how to get the best out of the coverage shots he provided as a director and could make a story pop on the screen that resonated with audiences.  You have to be an excellent person to produce good work, which gets lost in all corporations: those individual contributions.  For instance, if SpaceX lost Elon Musk, the company would fail quickly.  We always see it in sports: a star player carries a franchise.  As the saying goes, there is no “I” in team, but there is in win.  Teams are not values, they are places where people can hide so they don’t have to deal with the pressure of taking on too much responsibility.

One time, when the character of Indiana Jones was being created, Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg, and George Lucas designed the character before principal photography, and they were all talking about giving Indiana Jones some flaws that the audience could relate to, such as making him smoke and drink too much.  But as she often did with many of those early Lucasfilm movies, Marcia stepped in and gave her opinion that was critical to the effort’s success.  Keep in mind that these three moviemakers were some of the best of the best in the business. But it took George Lucas’ wife to point out the obvious.  She told them this was a kid’s movie and they couldn’t have Indiana Jones drinking and smoking.  He’ll lose all his charm, which they didn’t understand then.  But George listened to his wife, as usual, and the character became one of the most beloved in all movie history.  They are still trying to make money off Indiana Jones, with Disney running the studio.  But they don’t understand the character because they don’t have someone like Marcia Lucas in the editing room polishing everything up.  They have access to tens of thousands of talented filmmaking types, but very few understand the subtlety of success and failure.  Without question, Marcia Lucas, as a high-quality individual, made those early movies better.  She also made Lucas, Spielberg, and Harrison Ford better.  Better than any of them would ever be again once she was no longer a part of their lives.  After the divorce, it went all downhill from there.  They still made good movies, but they had all lost their touch, never to duplicate it again.  And no matter what business we’re talking about, that same kind of ratio applies.  Corporations often don’t get it; they mimic what made them great and hope nobody notices.  But to become great in the first place, there is always some charismatic individual, or a collection of them, who come together and make magic happen.  And without those individuals, no process in the world can promise success, purposefully or by accident.  Family-owned businesses are some of the best ways to achieve that success, and Lucasfilm was a family-owned business in those early days.  Once they became a corporate conglomerate, they could no longer make magic, and the brands they were associated with died in the court of public opinion.

The Velvet Hammer: Life is more like playing poker than we’d like it to be

A lot of people are upset that Trump had a lunch meeting with Mark Zuckerberg at Mar-a-Lago after all that Zuckerbucks had done to cause trouble in the 2020 election and censor people politically on his Facebook platform.  After all, he was one of the most evil people from the past, and here he was, groveling in front of Trump, looking to be a part of the future.  And everyone’s first instinct is that he should be in jail, perhaps worse.  My first reaction was that I would never sit down with an enemy like that.  I tend to hold grudges forever, and I get all the people who do me wrong back for things they’ve done to me or tried to do to me, even if it takes decades.  I never get over anything.  Most people at least think that way, even if, in reality, they tend to be more forgiving.  But then I was reminded that it was just this past week that I was called a Velvet Hammer by a friend of mine.  I tend to tell people to “go to Hell,” where they thank me for the opportunity by the time I’m done with them.  That is something that I have learned to do over time, and I think it comes with any successful experience when it comes to people. You have to really open up the toolbox of communication to deal with a variety of people who all want different things.  My first reaction to being called a Velvet Hammer was that this person was telling me my way of fighting with people was like a woman, which is one of those woke things that we’re not even supposed to consider these days.  But women often don’t fight directly about anything and seldom ever say what they mean.  They might deal with another woman thinking, “You dumb bitch, you’re trying to steal my husband,” when in reality, they say, “We should get a latte at Starbucks sometime.”  Conversely, men would deal with conflict much differently; one moment, they might want to fight in the parking lot, and the next, they are the best of friends sharing eternal bonding.  Men get over things fast, by biological necessity.  But in the business world, with men and women being thrown together like no other time in history, where those elements have to be dealt with in some way, successful people must expand their communication ability to be effective. 

That’s something I have learned over time, which is to develop many ways to communicate with many tools in the toolbox rather than a hammer and chisel to get an idea across to people resistant to it.  In many cases, there are legal parameters that you always have to be aware of, so you can’t say things to people that they could then legally use against you or that culturally violate basic assumptions about work that have been shaped by radical leftist politics and a media culture that leans dramatically to Marxism.  You might feel very strongly about something, but you can’t express it to people who think very differently about it because they don’t have the right kind of mind even to hear what you are saying.  So I have had to learn to express myself to the limits of the people around me, which is why that Velvet Hammer designation came my way because the situation was very delicate, and I did have to tell people to go to Hell while at the same time having them thank me for the experience. 

And naturally, Trump, being at the top of the business world for many years, has had to learn this Velvet Hammer approach.  It is satisfying to tell people what you think of them, just as it is rewarding to punch someone in the face when they’ve done you wrong.  But the playground politics doesn’t translate well into the business world.  Maybe it should; perhaps the world would be better off if people always said what they meant about everything.  But that’s not how humans are wired; there are always subtleties with people, and often, it’s best to keep your enemies close so you can see how they will play their cards.  Life is much more like poker, where the other players are constantly lying to you, than a religious confessional, and to have a relationship with them, which is often necessary, the best way to navigate is through communication methods that are beyond their innate experiences learned from childhood on conflict resolution.  You can still hit them over the head with a hammer, but a little velvet on it helps delay the realization about what you are doing until they’ve given you what you want, and they don’t realize what you are doing to them until it’s too late.  Trump has mastered this technique without question, and that’s what he has been doing with Mark Zuckerberg.  Can he use the dumb kid to good effect, trading jail for reform on his deep past with working with the three-lettered intelligence agencies to bring America down from within?  While people might instinctively want to see Zuckerberg hang, Trump, the intelligent business guy, wonders if there is some way he can profit from the situation Zuckerberg finds himself in, which is the best way to make a good deal for yourself. 

And when you are a winner in your engagements, you can afford to use a Velvet Hammer rather than desperately fighting for your rights to exist.  Having your enemies come to you and grovel at your feet is the best reward.  Zuckerberg is trying to survive in a world he went all in on destroying, and now he has to wake up each day trying to appeal to the people he most hurt.  And what can be learned from his network if he’s allowed to share a bit in that world?  After all, that’s what Mika and Joe Scarborough did from The Morning Joe Show on MSNBC was the same thing Zuckerberg did, and that was to see Trump and grovel in front of him since he had won the election and the right to shape the world from the Executive Branch.  Defeated foes have been boot-licking and groveling like this for thousands of years.  But as the one having their boots licked, the way to get them working in your direction is with a velvet hammer. Not a sledgehammer that crushes them out of existence.  You want to know what people are up to because they seldom reveal it deliberately.  If you want to work with lots of different people who all have other motives, and you want to win them over to your way of thinking, then you have to find a way to get them under control and pointed in the right direction in ways that make it look profitable for them.  In Zuckerberg’s situation, Trump has a full checkmate on him, and everyone knows it.  There is only one path for Zuckerberg and Trump to control it.  So when a business guy gets that kind of leverage over someone, there is a lot more profit for Trump in utilizing it to proper effect than in having the satisfaction of Zuckerberg being hit over the head and having his soul crushed.  Because, at that point, he’s just another useless carcass.  However, making him an asset is why President Trump is rich. He learned how to use the Velvet Hammer, and he does so often.

Brazilian Communists Attack Jair Bolsonaro and 36 Others: The common strategy of leftists throwing their political rivals in jail and using election fraud to gain and keep power

While we have been celebrating the election of Trump, there is still a lot going on in the world that has significant problems, and it indicates that this fight is very much global and far from over.  We may have taken a stand against the tide of international communism, but it’s still very much a problem, as we saw the evidence of in Brazil with the phony indictments of Jair Bolsonaro and 36 others accused by the newly put in place communist government there of inciting a coup de tat against the official government, as indicated by the Federal Police in a 884-page report—(that’s why we can never allow police states to have too much power).  Bolsonaro is known worldwide as the Brazilian version of Trump, and the playbook they are using against him is essentially the same as the lawfare that was applied to Trump in the United States.  Now Trump, because we essentially have a Constitution that limits the power of government, was able to essentially beat the charges in America one essential element, and by a very narrow margin, by limiting election fraud in 2024.  And only that because Trump’s lead was too big to rig.  However, as we saw in many House and Senate races in the weeks after the election, the slow trickle of ballot counting of illegal voters continued to keep the margin of victory in those two houses of Congress to a minimum.  The seat gains could have been and should have been, much greater.  But globalism is still a problem everywhere, especially in states that don’t have control of the voting machines and have loose election laws that allow for cheating with a lack of voter ID.  In places like Brazil, the global communist mob is essentially the ones who are counting the ballots, so they removed Bolsonaro after the last election after they tried to stab him to death in public.  And now, because the polling shows that at the next election in Brazil, Bolsonaro will win easily, they are accusing him of all the same kinds of things they did to Trump, hoping to control the elements of the next election by essentially putting their political rival in jail. 

Don’t forget that to throw Bolsonaro out of office; they brought Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva out of jail to run as the communist representative.  All this action against Bolsonaro occurred right after a visit from Xi Jinping with Lula, where they discussed the future of Brazil and the need for them to suppress the populist movement rocking the world.  Next door in Argentina, they recently elected Javier Gerardo Milei, who has become another kind of wild man Trump, and he is reforming the country quickly with their version of MAGA, and it has global markets in a tailspin.  So there is an urgency for these global communists, who are led by centralized banking and the influence of the World Economic Forum, using the United Nations as their mask, to stop the bleeding.  The world doesn’t want communism, and it’s being rejected everywhere.  And their typical strategy is now evident for all to see.  If Trump didn’t have the American due process system of rights in the Constitution and enough free speech to dramatically force election fraud underground, he would be facing right now hundreds of years in prison for the made-up January 6th insurrection of 2021.  It was made up because it was heavily inspired by internal insurgents to provoke a mob of already angry protestors who were upset to see Trump go from his first term.  Trump wisely played by the rules and didn’t try to hold on to power through force, even though it was apparent what was happening.  Because he played the game the right way, and the people jailed for January 6th were so dramatically abused, people showed up and voted overwhelmingly, making it too big for the communists to rig, and they lost the general election.  But they did steal away several Senate seats and seats in the House, giving Republicans a very slim majority. 

That same game of election fraud goes on worldwide, and it’s how many of these South American countries have gained and held power.  From what we have learned now, we should never have voting machines connected to the internet in any fashion.  If we aren’t counting paper ballots from one day of voting by a person with a photo ID, we aren’t trying to secure our elections from fraudulent activity.  And for America, a very narrow window has opened to allow us to take back our country from this silent menace of global communism, and China is the face of that movement.  But don’t get lost in all the fancy utensils; the World Economic Forum is behind most of these global insurrections as they prop up the effort through finance.  That is the glue that holds global communism together, and it’s the real fight we are all involved in, whether or not we like it.  What is happening to Bolsonaro and the innocent people of Brazil, in general, is part of the communist playbook of unrestricted warfare.  They don’t care how it gets done so long as it does.  They mean to capture the means of self-expression to advance communism in every way possible, from free speech to elections.  And they don’t care if people’s feelings are hurt.  They have been performing a global insurrection to overthrow all forms of privately held capitalism and to replace it with centralized control of the United Nations as socialists like Antonio Guterres oversee it.  All roads to this behavior lead back to the work of Karl Marx.  Everything on the political left is rooted in Marxism.

Bolsonaro is supposed to attend Trump’s inauguration, and the pressure Trump is about to apply to the world may destroy the fingers of the Deep State that operates everywhere in the background again, controlled by international finance that wants communism as a stable means of protecting their investments from the human sentiment of personal fulfillment.  But because of these indictments, he’ll unlikely be able to attend.  I think the action in Brazil will be similar to what it was in the United States; people will show up overwhelmingly in the next election to elect Bolsonaro.  They picked him the last time, but it was only in certain areas where Lula pulled ahead in the aftermath to win the election, just as was done to Trump in 2020.  But because Trump won, the globalists are desperate, and they know the populist movement is coming for them, and people have a right to it.  The rights of individuals worldwide have not yet been established as they have been in the United States.  And because of that assumption, people did fight back peacefully with an election.  And if the election didn’t work, it was poised to get bloody.  And the globalists have lost their ground in America, even if they are still a big problem.  They will continue to be for quite some time.  But at least it has been established that they don’t have a right to our national sovereignty.  Just as they don’t in Brazil.  So, electing Trump is only part of the puzzle.  There is a lot more work to do.   We can’t let Bolsonaro be put in jail so that the communist forces there can stay in power.  They have to be destroyed, just as China must be destroyed as a communist power and asset to the World Economic Forum’s shadow government of manipulators from the mountains of Davos, pulling the strings of international finance.  Brazil will have its day to inspire a MAGA movement globally, but first, we have to see things as they are and support Bolsonaro in Brazil for the crimes that are being committed against him, to keep communism in power, against the wishes of people who had an election stolen from them the first time.

The Archaeology of Space: A lot of minds need to be shattered

With the same kind of vivacious denials, the narrative of human civilization is as edited and denied as the election fraud of 2020, and for all the same reasons.  The truth, which is being uncovered quickly through decentralized media and studies in these matters that exceeds traditional scholarship, is that for many tens of thousands of years, a global race of very tall people worshipped the stars and had very advanced understandings of planetary movement.  They were hinted at in the Bible as that wonderful collection of documents gives us a hint into a past that very little evidence survived due to the  amount of time that we are talking about.  We have all over the earth, which can be seen on Netflix now with Graham Hancock’s Apocalypse series some of the emerging evidence, the obvious hints at a very ancient past.  But, the narrative, largely for continued control over earth’s populations has been to deny all this aggressively.  Which is why the election of 2024 was so important, and why the current established order has to collapse and be destroyed, essentially.  Because the fight has been to hide a lot of things from the past and once we get out into space as human beings, routinely, and we open up archaeological study that extends to other planets, we are going to find out a lot more soul-shattering details about our place in the universe than what that Netflix show, Ancient Apocalypse has shown.  But it’s a reality we have to face and its going to happen very quickly over the next couple of years.

As Graham Hancock talked about his Ancient Apocalypse Netflix series, which has a lot of faces melting, on the Joe Rogan Experience he mentioned that during the filming he was banned from the Cahokia Mounds Park just outside of St. Louis, for the same reasons that he was banned from Serpent Mound during the previous season.  What Graham was proposing was that the Cahokia complex was much more like ancient Mesopotamia, and the Aztecs and Mayans than some hunter and gatherer Indians who were peaceful and built a few mounds to worship the sun.  I actually have some very direct experience with this phenomena that I was involved in a long time before Graham Hancock became famous for his journalism into these matters.  Way back in 1997 after the Titanic was doing great movie business my brother lived in Los Angeles and a bunch of investors wanted to make a movie of their own and get in on the Hollywood fun.  So I wrote a script on an idea I had called The Lost Cannibals of Cahokia, which was an outrageous adventure story that was a crossover between the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Indiana Jones adventures.  And when I turned it in to the agents and the Wilshire Blvd producers and money people, their faces melted by how violent and outrageous it was.  And at some point about a decade of shopping the script around, several really big names in entertainment were wanting to partner up to get the movie made. But the real heart of the problem with the script was that at the core of it I had explored the cause of the demise of the Cahokian culture, and all cultures for that matter, which is a theme I explore in everything I do.  And it didn’t make people very happy, to say the least.  My script went on to win several awards at various film festivals and was seen by a lot of people who really liked it.  But they couldn’t get their minds around the central premise which attacked directly assumptions about humanity that were sacred cows.  I was told that if I wanted to make the movie that we could do all the horror and adventure elements, but that we’d have to rework the central premise.  And I was offered a lot of money for it, in the millions of dollars.  But I shelved it for a later day because my favorite parts of the story were the things they wanted to throw out.  And I decided to put my attention more into political matters because the world wasn’t quite ready for the things I was interested in.

So I understood why so many people were upset over Graham Hancock’s proposals about Cahokia, and many sites along the ancient Mississippi River, where its obvious there was a very established culture during the Archaic period and that they were trading with South America, establishing the settlement at Easter Island, and all through the Polynesian Islands.  And that many of these cultures were considered advanced during the last Ice Age.  There is a vast conspiracy that is obsessed with keeping human beings from learning too much about their past beyond what the Bible discusses.  But the hints are everywhere and being talked about much more now, especially with Trump returning to office and dismantaling a lot of the out-of-date organizations that have been suppressing this information for thousands of years.  It’s not hard to see how and why, considering that Stonehenge is not that old and in a few thousand more years, there won’t be much left of it through the natural erosion process.  That is the same issue with the many pyramids around the world that date back just 3000 to 5000 BC.  The evidence at Gobekli Tepe for instance was buried purposely in Turkey and uncovered only to find that it is over 11,000 years old.  So by being buried, it preserved the site from erosive elements leaving us all to wonder just how much evidence from the past has been eroded away. 

Well, we’re going to find out, and with SpaceX’s Starship producing every 8 hours a new ship to go into space, we will quickly moved to a space economy during Trump’s next term.  And this is not just current politics, but something we have been moving toward since the days of Biblical reporting, even the central heart of the destruction of the Library at Qumran and the standoff with the Romans at Masada.  Governments have been hiding this issue from the public to maintain control over populations until essentially this century.  And now the lid is being blown off that long held secret.  And we’re going to get to the moon and Mars, and to the moons around Jupiter and Saturn and we’re going to find out that our history goes back much further than just colonies on Earth.  And many of our mythologies and assumptions are going to be shattered, and they need to be.  I have watched that process myself just over some of the sites on earth, and among people who were very smart and very rich and their faces melted over any suggestion of something happening beyond the accepted norms.  But we have to get ourselves ready because space archaeology will become an important field, and much of what has been suppressed as evidence on earth will no longer be able to be suppressed.  And we are going to learn a lot about ourselves, at a pace of change that will be astonishing.  I saw many years ago that this had to happen.  I was surprised by it when I saw how violent it made people just based on my script which many were involved with for the money it could have made.  But for me, it was much more personal, and important.  And ultimately, a sign of things to come.
