Death Bloom Coffee: Something I am very thankful for

It’s always something I do around Thanksgiving time: think of the things I’m thankful for. And for me, it’s easy; I have great kids; one of them this week has been traveling through the Scottish countryside looking for Loch Ness monsters and hunting down Brave Heart references to the real William Wallice. The other launched a new line of coffee that is very unique and dynamic. I sometimes talk about my kids regarding homeschooling because both homeschool them. The public schools just aren’t good enough. Recently, I have made some references to some of the trips we have all taken together this year, especially to Disney World, which we consider part of the homeschooling experience for the little kids, who are learning how to navigate a big world and make it smaller with lots of vast knowledge. You never know what you are going to get when you are a parent raising children, and my style of parenting has always been hands-off on things that traditionally involved micromanaged parental roles, while I managed very aggressively the things most parents don’t, such as the development of intellect. And as I look at my kids these days, all grown up and in their thirties, I am very proud of them. And that is certainly the case with my youngest daughter, Holly Denham who has found that the best way to generate income as a very committed homeschool mom is through her hobby as an artist, which has grown significantly over the last several years. It has been impressive to watch and it certainly wasn’t a plan. When you want kids to grow up, it doesn’t fit nicely into the boxes that a guidance counselor at a public school tries to put everyone in. Yet what she has become is worth a Thanksgiving all its own.

Holly is fascinating; even when she was a little girl, she was interested in the paranormal. Instead of playing with Barbies, she was more interested in the Crypt Keeper from the Tales of the Crypt television series. As a family, we have been on several ghost hunts, and she continues to go to paranormal events whenever possible. We have experienced our own stories of ghostly encounters. One of which was at the Moonville Tunnel in eastern Ohio, one of the most haunted places on the earth. We went there for her sweet sixteen birthday party. Out of all the things she could have done in the world, she wanted to do that. Watching all this, I wondered where it would all go, and these days, she is a highly sought-after artist who attends trade shows many of the months of the year all over the country. She is an illustrator but I would put her art experience in the category of conversation starter, which is what many of her fans want out of their purchases. She has had some rock bands who are very well-known commission her for promotional material which I thought was very impressive when I learned about it. I am very proud of what Holly has done to fulfill her commitments as a full-time homeschool mom to her children’s education while maintaining personal authenticity. I enjoy watching her evolve and diversify in ways I would never have thought possible. Yet she is the proof of the benefits of market capitalism, that if talent and dedication are applied, a market will form to enjoy the fruits of that labor.

We have not been much of a coffee family; my wife drinks a lot of it, but I don’t. And it wasn’t until this past year that my two girls started drinking coffee as we traveled a lot as a family. In the case of Holly, she, like me, doesn’t sleep much. I have a strict Mello Yello diet, but my kids felt they needed to avoid sugary drinks, so they started drinking coffee. And as a natural evolution, Holly started getting involved in her brand of coffee. Coffee branding is kind of a new thing, where the coffee market and the branding have been decentralized, much like other industries have been, from music to movies and all other forms of entertainment, especially microbrewers for beer. It’s an astonishing change in the coffee marketplace, so I was a bit interested as she started sending me artwork for her various brands of coffee with her label, Death Bloom Coffee. As we were coming into the Holiday Season of Thanksgiving and, of course, Christmas, this was a clever way for her to keep the fun of Halloween fresh in the minds of people who weren’t ready for all that to end. Consistent with her other works of art, it was the ultimate conversation starter. If you are going to be drinking coffee, then why not do it with some thought-provoking message? So, within a short period, Holly has come up with this whole line of coffee products and supporting merchandise that many people enjoy. And it’s a story that I find very interesting. Not just because she’s my daughter but because it’s the work of capitalism in a larger view that shows how variability is the most viable expression for market saturation without the micromanagement of governments. To see my daughter fully utilizing all these creative tools is something I am personally very thankful for.

In the context of her art, both of my daughters have heard me talk for hours and hours about various mythologies worldwide and their applications through religions and politics. But you never know at that time how that will translate to an approach to living. One attribute that sets Holly’s art apart from the rest of the pack is her raw intelligence, which gets expressed in ways that can’t hide her natural curiosities. That is why at art conventions she always has a line at her booth because there is something unique about her that comes directly from her life experiences, which started with an interest in mythology and then migrated with a love for Halloween, which she should be happy to see occur every day of the year, year after year. When talking about the lost continent of Atlantis or the most recent discovery of ancient writing that is over 10,000 years old in the Amazon Valley, Holly is the first to point it out to me. And she sees UFOs all the time and sends me exciting videos. The recent one that appeared in Monroe, Ohio that was so obvious, almost as if it was showing off, appeared almost over her house. To say that her mind is tuned for these kinds of things is an understatement. And those interests have shown up in her art and coffee for casual people to enjoy in whatever form they feel comfortable with. But to watch her take her interest in this direction makes me very happy and thankful. Your kids can grow up and become many disappointing things. But my kids were undoubtedly worth all the extra work. I am grateful to see them grow up into such exciting characters and adventurers. But most of all, a mind that thinks about things and can put those thoughts into an art that others can enjoy, even at a distance, is very satisfying. And now, through their coffee experience.

The 400 Fools in San Francisco: Capitalism is Destroying Communism, and Xi Jinping knows it

It’s not at all surprising that there were 400 fools who attended the Xi Jinping summit at San Francisco with Joe Biden. Most corporations, as I have been telling everyone for years, have communist leanings, and for the many lazy executives in them, the trend of globalism was in their favor. A stable business climate controlled by the centralized state allowed them to look like smart people, without actually having to be very smart. To win in that game, you had to cozy up to the regime, do what they tell you like trained seals, and you’d be successful, or at least appear that way. That whole competition thing is not for those timid people. Capitalism is scary because so long as the communists were in charge, they could always say, “They told me to do it,” when the shareholders started to complain about lost revenue. So I don’t view the people in San Francisco pandering to Xi to be particularly important. Sure, some of the richest people in the world were there. Elon Musk was there to grovel in front of the communist dictator, but I didn’t see what a lot of people did in the meeting. Rather, I saw the end of a dying regime, in China, playing out the plans of many decades coming to a fizzle that wasn’t very spectacular. All the concepts of globalism were falling apart across the world, and China was trying to appear to their home country as if they had conquered the United States, and the fulfillment of their objectives had come to fruition. That is how the entire visit would play on state-run television in China. A groveling Joe Biden pandering to the power of the communist party. The red flags of communism lined the streets of one of the great American cities. Communism had conquered the West and the people there were subjugating themselves to its incredible power.

The electronic voting machines have lots of problems.

Joe Biden’s behavior wasn’t surprising either. After all, he would not be president if not for Xi Jinping. China currently put Biden in office and the direct payments were part of the discussion. The Biden crime family had become wealthy over the years, selling access to their elected offices, and China knew what they were doing when they put the hapless old man in the White House to get rid of Trump. They didn’t like Trump’s trade deals, so they showed the power of China by inserting a complete buffoon in Trump’s place, displaying control over American elections and the people’s pick. China was almost daring anybody to do anything about what they did in 2020, first by releasing COVID-19 to lock down the world, then at the end of the year, the part they played to rig the election. For those who have not been paying attention, the electronic voting machine case is finally starting to get some traction. As I said in 2020, these cases often take years to put together, and part of the crime was to outpace the slow American legal system. That was part of the election theft, to move faster than the courts could process and China was clearly in on it. They have a lot to explain, about direct tampering with voting machine results and how Covid escaped from a Wuhan lab in the first place. But the voting machines were not the only form of election fraud. Just a big part of it. How does anybody think that people like Xi Jinping stay in power? Not by honest elections, that’s for sure. People don’t want to believe that rigged elections have been part of the American system, but the evidence is obvious that it has. And that China has played a significant role, even to the point of showing off, which Xi was doing in San Francisco.

I think it’s highly possible Trump will win every state.

But it’s not what it appears to be. China’s primary concern was that the world was turning away from them and that a serious decoupling effort was underway to separate the two economies, not to strengthen the relationship. And by inviting those 400 fools, tech leaders we always hear about in the news, CEOs from BlackRock, State Street, Vanguard, and Apple might do something to stop the trend. But they were part of the problem, and they had their issues in a free market society. Most of the damage they had conducted in the social awareness vacuum. And those days are over. People know what Larry Fink has done with his buddies at the World Economic Forum, and the pitchforks are out in America. There is going to be hell to pay in more ways than one in the coming years, and the protection of big-state communism won’t be able to hide them. Supply chains in America are realizing the liability of partnerships with China, with all the games on exports that go on, the trouble in dealing with communist labor unions on the West Coast that strike every five seconds and slow down the loading and unloading of cargo to and from China. Let’s just say that the labor advantages of dealing with China are no longer as enticing. They may have a lot of hard-working people that don’t blow up your budget, but the politics of dealing with China is ridiculously cumbersome, and slow. And people are moving on, finding other ways of dealing with supply chain necessities.

Game over for global communism

Which is what I saw in the body language of Xi.  I saw a worried dictator who knew the game was up.  Trump obviously saw it, too, in comments that followed.  Trump knows he’s going to have to deal with Xi as president soon, so he is already setting up the negotiating table for leverage.  But Xi knows this is the last year of Chinese rule.  The election fraud had given them a lovely puppet, but the American people didn’t follow him, leaving everyone exposed in the process and leaving those 400 fools in attendance with eggs on their faces.  A furious world is headed their way.  Election fraud won’t be so easy this time around.  Of course, they will try because they have no other way of winning.  They had been planning this communist push for years, and this was all they were getting out of it.  Global communism had failed and people were turning away everywhere, especially in the United States, and state visits like this in San Francisco were not going to fix everything, because it was all smoke and mirrors, to begin with.  Sure, they showed the world they could put Joe Biden in office and control the American political system with honey pots and payoffs.  But what did they get for it?  The American people were not bending their knees to the communists, and they had no intention of ever doing it.  And the big American corporations showed they had little power over people’s fundamental beliefs.  It was a disaster, a nightmare for them.  And it was their last gasp before the tables turned, and the world got a lot harder for all of them.  Because communism is dead, free markets would force validity, making all the corporations that had bought into the communist plot vulnerable to destruction.  And so it went; the show in San Francisco fell flat and sputtered to a close with the grim reality of what is to become of all of them.  And they deserve everything they have coming.

The Cheating Spouse: Sara Carruthers Called Us”Extremists”

I wasn’t going to talk about what I’ve been saying to all the mostly guys in the Republican party of Butler County, Ohio in the wake of Lynda O’Connor’s loss from the Lakota school board until I read the comments from Sara Carruthers in the Journal News. Obviously, she was referring to me and some of the core team around me who are considered radicals where she said she hated the “extremism in the party.” And that she said, “I think it’s sad to have other Republicans fighting against you.” Well, she’s up for re-election and my message to her is, she’s next. And all those like her. We can’t fight Democrats when we don’t have Republicans in the party. So, we must go through this process to make things honest before we can ever consider winning in politics. Otherwise, it’s all an illusion. Everyone has probably seen the video that Candice Keller took of Butler County Commissioner Cindy Carpenter campaigning for a Democrat on election day. There are a lot of RINO Republicans operating in the Butler County GOP, and they have made their voices known more ostentatiously since Trump has been out of the White House. And many of us, just aren’t going to put up with it. I’ve never given any illusion that I would. I work with people. I listen to their point of view and give people an honest shake. But politically, I’m to the hard right of the Tea Party, and that isn’t going to change. Obviously, I’m interested in politics for different reasons than other people. So my comment to people who have been asking me why I can’t support these RINOs when we learn about them is that I always say, “I love all Republicans until they show me they aren’t. Then I hate them.” There is no middle ground.

One of those cheating spouses

Further, I have been saying to lots of people an obvious metaphor that is directly relatable. Political relationships are a lot like marriage, with marriage being something everyone can relate to in some way or another. And most of the people I have been talking to have been men. I have said this to women, but the context is from a male perspective. When you catch a woman climbing out of the window to sleep with someone else on the other side of town, don’t go out and buy her a diamond ring. It would be best if you were looking for ways to get away from her, not deepening the commitment. And in regard to Lynda O’Connor, I feel she cheated on me, and my way of dealing with that isn’t to profess my love for her, or even to hold my nose and pretend like we have a happy marriage. Once it’s over, for me, it’s over. Forever. My policy is to let the cheaters have their loves, their forbidden fruit. I won’t play happy family with tea on Sundays like there isn’t a problem. A lot of people with low self-esteem are afraid that they won’t ever find another spouse, or maybe there are kids and property that are all wrapped up in the marriage, so it’s just cheaper to put up with all the cheating and play happy family. I think a lot of people find themselves in this situation, and it rolls over into their political lives. Well, that’s not where I am. I want to believe in the people who represent us politically, and those are my standards and the standards of a lot of people I know and associate with. What I hear from all these crybabies after this 2023 election are complaints that we have standards and that we should give those up and put up with the cheating wife who crawls out the window to multiple lovers across town, to keep the kids together, essentially.

To people like Sara Carruthers, it is considered “extreme” to have values.  The Trump MAGA movement is considered “extreme” because it does not want to put up with the politics of the past, where values are thrown out the window, and concessions with evil are endorsed.  In those kinds of statements, I hear a lazy person who doesn’t want to do the hard work of representation and upholding the values of the community she represents.  That certainly was the anger at Lynda O’Connor.  She did not express the community’s sentiment; she worked against it, even working to silence the community from having an opinion.  And that is what many of the insiders in the wake of the 2023 election have been expressing: frustration that they couldn’t control the narrative and impose some low bar that the rest of the community would put up with so they could compete with low-level Democrats for office seats.  If that is what we have to do to compete with Democrats, to play their dumb game, then the answer is, no. I know many people who will be a hard pass on that approach.  What’s the difference then between a Democrat and a Republican if the brand is destroyed by becoming one of them?  When Cindy Carpenter (Sheriff Jones’ budget girl) is campaigning for Democrats on election day.  I’ll pass if that is the kind of teamwork Sara Carruthers is talking about.  Like I’ve also been saying a lot lately to the soft-shelled tacos of the Republican Party, “With Republicans like you, who needs Democrats.” 

Here’s the deal: everyone can do what they want, I’ll only tell you once, Trump will be back in office.  There is going to be a very violent and tumultuous four years coming up while we clean up years and years of neglect.  And anybody who wants to ride that political train, get on and fasten your seat belt.  I know many people willing to fight for what’s right, and they will either do it arm-in-arm with a political party or work against you.  So, you better catch up if you want to do anything political.  It’s not extreme to have “high expectations,” and we are talking about that.  The anger at Lynda, Sara, Cindy, Sheriff Jones, and many of the business owners of Butler County who are only in politics to protect their investments is that they do not match the high expectations of those interested in politics that represent their values.  The message is that everyone should lower their values to accommodate the cheating spouse just to maintain the façade of marriage.  Which a lot of people do.  But these “extremists” that Sara is referring to are not those types of people.  Sincerity and honesty are not bad traits, and it is those traits that these aftermath losers are indicating are holding back the Republican Party.  I know many bright young people who would run for some of these future political offices.  But they will not kiss a ring or play nice with their morality.  This is why we end up with losers who lack ethical standards in some positions, which is why the Republicans are losing.  Not because the expectations are too high but because the kind of people they want are too lazy and too compromised to live up to those standards.  The future of politics will force that issue to be addressed, ready or not.  And in Butler County, Ohio, many are not.

Bernie Moreno and J.D. Vance in West Chester, Ohio: Making Hard Work Great Again

I always enjoy the optimism of an early campaign effort, and Bernie Moreno’s is undoubtedly one of those good ones, early on. He’s running for the Ohio Senate seat against Sharrod Brown, but first, he has to win a primary, so he and J.D. Vance were at Lori’s Roadhouse in West Chester, Ohio to make a pitch, and it was full of optimism and an approach to politics that is full of more than empty promises. I like seeing people like Bernie getting into politics, people who have been personally successful and know what it looks like, and who want to do good things for all the right reasons. So, I was enthusiastic about seeing the two of them together, a current senator, and the one who would be his partner representing Ohio in the Swamp we want to drain. We are looking for MAGA Republicans who can work with a Trump administration, unlike the last time. If there has been anything good about losing Trump to exile for a while, it has been that it gave us a chance to knock out the firewall that the Congress and Senate had in preserving the Swamp. If you want to drain it, there must be cooperation from the other branches of government. Otherwise, it just won’t happen. And things are shaping up in a very positive way. I am pretty excited about the future, for a lot of reasons, and one of them was a book I had been reading that very day when I was going to see J.D. Vance again. It was Johan Norberg’s Capitalist Manifesto and it was strange to read a quote in it about J.D. Vance, from a Swedish perspective. Norberg’s book is not an American outlook on capitalism. Instead, it’s a European globalist view and a fascinating process to watch. But he was using J.D. Vance and an example about Middletown, Ohio to make a point that I thought was well made. So, it was weird to have all those elements come together in one Friday morning spectacle.

The point made was haunting me a bit because I am a bit older than J.D. Vance, and I watched Middletown, Ohio, go through its transition from a wonderful blue-collar town that ran off of an Armco economy, a steel mill that told a similar story to those in Pittsburg up the road.  They were the centerpieces of the town, and it’s where everyone worked.  But through lots of influences, particularly communist globalism, the steel mill lost its power, and the economy of Middletown tanked, and never recovered.  It went from a thriving town to something that looked like a third-world hell hole within a few decades.  By the time J.D. Vance came along and was a young person, his experience was captured nicely in the book The Hillbilly Elegy and the movie of the same name by Ron Howard.  That popularity and the association that J.D. Vance now has in the Trump MAGA movement, which Bernie Moreno was now a part of, got Johan’s attention to make a point about globalism in general.  J.D. Vance had said, which Norberg quoted, that neither he nor his friends wanted to have a blue-collar job.  They were all told to grow up and move away to some white-collar job, and that America was going to move to a kind of service-oriented economy.  I remember hearing my dad’s speech, “Do you want to grow up and dig ditches?”  Blue-collar work was frowned upon, even discouraged.  So, no wonder so many of those good jobs picked up and moved to places like China.  It wasn’t so much bad policy that moved them, but the education system, the entertainment culture, and political priorities that had it all wrong, or right if you consider that they were all in on a scheme to destroy America, that caused so many young people to grow up and not want to work.

If you want to destroy America, convince their young people to grow up and be lazy.  This wasn’t the point of Johan Norberg, and indeed not where J.D. Vance was politically.  But it was the underlying reason all the steel mills picked up and moved to other places through globalism.  It was getting harder and harder to find good employees to do these jobs; the labor unions certainly didn’t make it any easier, so those corporations moved to places with better workers and more of them.  And the natural poison pill to cultures like Middletown, Ohio, was that nobody wanted to grow up and work as hard as they had to watch their parents’ work.  Those kinds of blue-collar jobs were looked down upon as if they were part of a lower class.  It wasn’t enough to own a home, a few cars, and a bass boat.  Kids watched their parents be put down by culture in general for working in a steel mill, so they grew up wanting nothing to do with any of it.  And now that America doesn’t make much anymore, people are seeing firsthand how valuable manufacturing is to a culture and rethinking how they value those jobs.  That is the primary driver of the MAGA political movement.  People were told many things over the years; now that they see where it has all been going, they don’t like it.  And they want to improve the situation dramatically. 

I would offer that for those who profess that they want to make America Great Again, the best place to start would be to make Hard Work a Priority Again.  It is not so much a throwback to how things used to be, but to look at the grandparents and their parents who made up towns like Middletown, Ohio, promising to begin with and value what they did and to emulate that hard work in the future.  Americans were suckered by globalism into being lazy; they were told that they could grow up and make lots of money in a useless white-collar job where they ordered pizza at 9 am for lunch three hours later, doing very little in between.  And that everything would be great.  And it hasn’t been.  Americans need to get back to working hard and working often.  We need to stop listening to the rest of the world that wants more socialism, which consists of more breaks, more government handouts, and much less freedom.  The globalism we have experienced was a disaster and has been terrible for places like Middletown, Ohio.  Not because globalism was evil in itself, where capitalism would have an opportunity to lift everyone to a higher living level.  However, what globalism turned out to be was an attack on the American way of life toward conversion to global communism; that attack came in the form of convincing an entire nation that hard work was beneath them and that whole generations would grow up to be lazy, entitled, and dependent on globalism for their necessities.  The kind of MAGA movement politics that J.D. Vance and Bernie Moreno were pitching and the type of globalism Johan Norberg was trying to sell to the world involved an appreciation for hard work at its core.  Something that would undoubtedly make Middletown, Ohio, Great Again.  We want the future J.D. Vance kids and their friends not to grow up and sleep on the couch but to go to work and do great things with a lot of ambition through their actions.  And through that embrace of values, America and the world can be great again because it all starts with hard work and people willing to do it for the betterment of humanity.

Darbi Boddy and the Masonic Order of Doom: The fight of social collectivists against MAGA individualism

Evil is the only word that applies to how Lakota schools, its administration, fellow school board members, various political parties, and the legal system have treated Darbi Boddy.  I told her recently that she should dump all those losers and let the whole thing burn.  But I wouldn’t quit either, even if it is the right thing to do.  That is more my wife talking than me; the empathy comes from concern over Darbi’s family.  On November 17th, 2023, Darbi needed to attend a safety meeting for the Lakota school board, and she had to make arrangements for someone to care for her little girl in case she was put in jail.  I’ve gone to war with people for far less than all this, so I don’t blame her when she says she’s not going to quit.  But the totality of the evil involved here is jaw-dropping and is every bit as bad as I’ve always said it was.  These are terrible, horrendous people engaged in teaching these kids in public schools, and there is a lot worse brewing under the surface.  And Darbi feels compelled to stand up to that evil and I admire her for it.  And so it was when she arrived at the meeting, there was security who told her that she couldn’t be there because of the recent and very dysfunctional Isaac Adi restraining order against Darbi.  But Darbi had spoken to the school lawyers and people who should know, and they told her she could attend, so she did, until the police issued her a citation and a court date for November 29th, 2023 for a violation of a court order.  To show how much these people care about kids, they threatened to throw Darbi Boddy in jail just for attending a school board meeting in which she was elected to participate.  Her husband is serving our country overseas, and she is the primary caregiver to a cute little girl, these people could care less what all this did to her, just as they don’t care about the students at Lakota.  All they really care about is how they can use those poor kids to fill their empty and featureless lives with social conformity.

It didn’t have to be this way; it wasn’t long ago when Judge Lyons was with Darbi and me at a nice political event where I was one of the featured speakers.  The judge was sitting at our table, and I enjoyed his company, as I have on other occasions.  And I have thought of him as a pretty good guy.  But he is also the attorney for this Isaac Adi monstrosity against Darbi, where he and others have been aggressively trying to get rid of the new school board member for the last two years.  And going back to the beginning, they drew first blood.  Lynda O’Connor led the charge, and she has dragged into her antics of personal destruction many characters, such as Judge Lyons, to satisfy a personal vendetta against Darbi Boddy for mysterious reasons.  Reasons that transcend politics.  Many people have been giving me the inside scoop on this story, and it gets uglier the more we learn from the personal experiences of these people.  I understand many temptations for brotherhoods, such as those experienced in Masonic memberships, especially within the legal profession, and Bar Associations, union membership, political parties, and all kinds of groups that give timid individuals a place to hide behind a collectivist mindset.  This bloodthirsty hatred for Darbi Boddy and others in the MAGA movement was tied to this desire to hide personal behavioral characteristics behind various elements of social collectivism and use the disguise of saving the children to mask it all from the public just as the Shriners do a lot of excellent community work when the actual elements of membership may not be so psychologically healthy. 

Looking at this case, if it weren’t for Judge Lyons’s networking, this restraining order against Darbi Boddy from Isaac Adi would go nowhere.  The recent appeals court process of Roger Reynolds, the former Butler County Auditor attacked by rivals in the Republican Party purely over power, has been much slower than the case with Isaac, which has been lightning fast.  So fast that Darbi has barely been able to react to it, which is the point. You can tell how weak a case is when they build it around entirely procedural conduct to disguise merit.  If judges weren’t also the attorneys in this case, this whole thing would stall with everyone waiting for a trial.  But this one is moving lightning fast because other elements at work look to go well beyond political parties.  This is the same kind of legal warfare that Democrats are using to harass President Trump, and it all looks scary until you get to the details.  Notice how Trump is winning in court already, especially regarding the Colorado case, which was just decided yesterday in his favor.  And the gag order in New York.  I have said from the beginning what the legal result would be in those cases, and Darbi’s case is similar.  The restraining order trying to keep her from attending school board meetings, which is all this is really about, will likely be dismissed, and the citation she was issued will be as well.  And regarding the issue in Columbus where Isaac is pushing for a violation of the incorrectly applied court order, at best, it’s a misdemeanor.  So, there is a lot of overreach where judicial activism is on full display, but there isn’t much legal merit.  Just a serious abuse of authority.  But it’s the intent that is so alarming, and that people that you think are, or were, reasonable people can be so treacherously malicious to the point of self-destruction. 

One week before all this, I sat down with Isaac to discuss this drama. We were at a political event together and hadn’t talked much, and he approached me to have a conversation and tell me how much he forgave me for all that had gone on. Which I thought was odd, but I listened, as usual. He told me how much he “loved Darbi” and wanted to do the right thing. He also told me how much differently things look on the inside as opposed to the outside, and that I didn’t understand. Well, I see pretty well, and I’ve heard all that before from people up to terrible things. What’s going on is collectivism, the same behavior that rots people’s minds toward various degrees of Marxism, and it manifests in the kind of memberships people socially engage in. Whether it’s the club of a school board where the political elements are making clear to the public that they don’t care what the voters think, they will remove Darbi because it’s their club and they decide who is in it. The voters are not in control, which is what the same cop who investigated the various sexually related antics of the previous Lakota superintendent and let him off the hook, did when he issued Darbi a citation for attending a meeting on safety as an elected officeholder just doing her job. The message was that people from the outside were not welcome. President Trump isn’t welcomed into the Swamp, and Darbi Boddy isn’t welcomed to the Lakota school board, and they were going to try anything to remove the voter’s pick from their club of malcontents and social parasites. I wouldn’t blame Darbi if she did want to quit. The message is clear to all like her that the Republican Party is not open to outsiders. It’s the club they value and the networks of social collectivism that are all about not doing what’s suitable for the kids or the community—bowing to the wills of a politically radical teacher’s union and all the associations that spawn from it. It’s as ugly as anyone can imagine. And thank goodness someone like Darbi has come along to expose it all. Like Trump, there is so much we wouldn’t know until someone was willing to challenge that system and show the world just how bad these people always were. I want to say I hate to be correct, but I can’t think of when I have ever been wrong. And I certainly have not been wrong about the Lakota school system from the beginning. If anything, I’ve been too polite.

All these brotherhoods, yet they would sacrifice the responsibility of freedom for social acceptance all the time. Many evils are committed under such an arrangement.

‘The Capitalist Manifesto’ by Johan Norberg: Admitting to the only economic system that helps people the most

The change of view of economic fundamentals from the political left

After reading Johan Norberg’s book The Capitalist Manifesto: Why the Global Free Market Will Save the World, I’ll admit to a substantial flood of satisfaction. I mean this wasn’t Ayn Rand, it was a kind of Ikea view of capitalism, but the message was quite clear. I’ve read other books by Johan Norberg and he’s pretty good for what I’d consider a lefty. He’s conservative by European standards, but in America, we have very different ideas of what a liberal is. But to Johan, a liberal means less restriction in market economies in a region that has always been about tyranny, the tyranny of the church, the tyranny of some maniacal king, or secret societies trying to undo everything in the background. The lunatic Karl Marx conceived in Europe the birthplace of socialism and communism. I would never have read the book if I hadn’t seen Elon Musk recommend it. I’m not a fan of Elon Musk. I want him to do well with SpaceX. He makes a good car, but he’s not my idea of a good leader. But he is the richest person in the world, and I have thought it interesting to watch him grow his political perspective to accommodate his needs to move humanity into space and set up a colony on Mars. He has learned quite ostentatiously that a socialist Biden government with Barack Obama still whispering in his ear is never going to get Musk where he wants SpaceX to go. It takes too long to obtain permits, and the Department of Labor constantly harasses him because Musk doesn’t allow unionized labor to manage his manufacturing facilities. So Musk has evolved over time and seems to have fully embraced capitalism now in ways that are pace setting. There are a lot of very interesting observations in The Capitalist Manifesto that are quite delicious and well worth talking about. I think it may be one of the most important books of 2023, and it is undoubtedly impactful to the world’s current circumstances.

A very important book

I’ve been talking about this kind of stuff for many years so the change in tone is not lost on me.  What The Capitalist Manifesto is by Norberg is a confession intended for liberals to read that undoes over a century of lunacy in following Karl Marx.  This is not a book intended for the MAGA crowd in America but the many socialists and communists around the world who still are trying to work The Communist Manifesto into political sustainability.  I remember how vicious that media, in general, was when I worked with the producers of the movie Atlas Shrugged to get the message out about their film version of the Ayn Rand books that were famous around the world but were labeled conspiracy theories of the radical right.  So this Johan Norberg confession is no small matter.  It wasn’t written for me or the fans of Ayn Rand, it was written to the college liberal, the Keynesian economist and the diabolical politician getting rich off the Swamp and all its globalist mechanisms.  Norberg has figured out something that the political left has been very slow to admit to: socialism of any kind doesn’t work.  And it was never going to work, and that capitalism, by free people, the freer, the better, is the key to unlocking the powers of any economy.  This is a CATO Institute view of the world that offers a flood of statistics to show just how much better the world is because of capitalism than it is under any other kind of authoritarian approach.  Norberg presents a dizzying display of real-world examples that everyone needs to come to grips with because we now have enough data to make some sobering judgments.

The Capitalist Manifesto was Norberg trying to explain to global liberals that if they want globalism and if they’re going to fight populism, they had better embrace capitalism and do it quickly.  He’s certainly no fan of President Trump, who he sees as a threat to the global order because he’s a nationalist who wants to close the borders of America to outside influence, to turn in instead of migrating out.  But the impact of financial systems driven by political sentiments couldn’t be more obvious.  This book was a white flag from the radical leftist points of view that capitalism was the only solution to global problems such as poverty.  There is no other economic approach that has improved the lives of so many, and as if to solidify critical opinion about capitalism, Johan Norberg cites many instances where Bernie Sanders and Karl Marx himself admitted that capitalism is the best and only way to approach economic theory.  And to argue against any notion that centralized planning does anything but harm people economically and is a background contributor to many of life’s many miseries.  This was a book attempting to capture the MAGA message of free markets in America and stamp liberalism to it as if it was their idea all along.  Again, Norberg has kind of an Ikea view of the world; I wouldn’t call Sweden a bastion of capitalism.  They only look that way because the rest of Europe has the heavy fog of communism and socialism hanging over it in such a devastating way.  America has an expectation of freedom that Europe does not have.  But to even say the word “capitalism” in Europe is taboo, similar to saying that your father has a mistress or that mom is wearing red panties under her white dress to church.  Nobody has been willing to admit these secrets in public until now. 

As I closed the book, I realized I had just read something that would set the tone for the next several decades.  It was a victory in many ways that the enemies of the world understood that they would never win against capitalism.  And that even liberal-minded people like Musk and Norberg, who are poster children for the World Economic Forum, or at least had been until the realities of populism rising around the world forced them to look in the mirror and give up on Marxism wholesale.  The Capitalist Manifesto is not an American book.  I tried to buy a copy at my local Barnes and Noble, but they didn’t have it.  The book ships out of the United Kingdom, so we’re not discussing an American product trying to explain capitalism’s values to the world.  This is coming from a European perspective, where socialism was born and raised to the detriment of most of the world.  Johan Norberg understands that only capitalism has worked to solve many of the problems that Democrats and their many versions regionally are concerned with.  The only way to help people is to find a way to put more money in their pockets that doesn’t involve the government stealing it from people who have made money and giving it to people who were too lazy to work for it.  I can’t recommend this book enough; it’s an avalanche of admissions that culture must embrace.  And within its pages, we can see the future, where liberals are finally going to get on the side of conservatives because they must.  They may even try to steal capitalism as their own, which would be expected of them.  But whatever the case, the world will change for the better as a result, and things will look a whole lot different economically, in a good way, in the decades to come because of the admissions in this book.

The Problem with Peace: When sperm find themselves in the wrong place

I’m not a big Jesus guy, I love his dad. But I’m not OK with the peace and love that Jesus is always talking about in the New Testament. This idea of the Fall in the Garden being redeemed by Jesus dying on the cross for all our sins sounds to me like a Greek and Roman desire politically to control the mass population for the preservation of their imperial perspective. I prefer the Old Testament and the wrath of Yahweh to the anti-ownership and anti-wealth sentiment in the New Testament. I grew up with such religious assumptions, but over the years and after traveling a time or two to Asia to see things for myself, I think there is a big piece of the story in the Bible that is missing from its regional perspective, which is directly applicable and is being exploited in a very modern way. I think Jesus studied the Hindu religion as it is articulated by the blue skin of the poisoned Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita, which is essentially part of book 6 of the Mahabharata. The Hindu religion actually goes back to the days of Abraham emerging from Mesopotamia, so these influences along the Silk Road are pretty obvious, and so are the many contextual references to Jesus in the many war-torn areas of that part of the world that seem very intent to conceal this information. Apparently, the Vatican knows all about Jesus studying in India, and by the time he came along, Buddhism was already 500 years old. So the New Testament starts to make a lot more sense when you understand how its perspective was influenced along the Silk Road, which is a vast span of territory that is mysteriously not part of modern Archaeology and is war-torn even though there really isn’t much going on there economically these days. So why so much war and terrorism?

Peace is for suckers. I love the God of the Old Testament

I find value in just about all religions, even Islam.  If it helps people relate to higher concepts, it’s wonderful.  But we must consider the political implications of faith and how they are often weaponized to rule large groups of people, and that is what I see emerging out of Hindu religions and Buddhism.  Not by device, but by default.  I heard a joke the other day about sperm that provoked all this contemplation that is actually very relevant.  It becomes our business because just about every rock band that we’ve had for decades points to India and specifically the Hindu and Buddhist faith, and says we should calm ourselves down and be more like them.  Even in Christianity, we are told to be more like Jesus, including the Jesus movement that came along during the hippie era, Jesus Christ Superstar, and the Helter Skelter cult.  Jim Jones and many crazed religious lunatics have taken this passive value toward life and become maniacal dictators of personal destruction.  I know a lot of Hindu people, and I’ve read all their religious texts, and I’m not a fan.  I don’t like Gandhi.  And I’m not a fan of Jesus offering to sacrifice himself for the benefit of all humanity.  I think everyone has read it all wrong from the very start, and to understand that, we have to understand the vast influence that the Old Silk Road had in our history and what role it still plays today.   My suggestion is that the war in the Near and Middle East is purposeful to conceal the vast history of the most enormous land mass on earth.  Meanwhile, we’re supposed to keep our focus on just European history and the Renaissance, and the efforts of the Greeks and Romans to create civilization.

So the joke goes like this, and I’m sure many people have heard this, but I think it’s very relevant to these religions of peace that are so prevalent and wrong for the human race.  A couple of sperm find themselves injected into a situation, and they are eager to find an egg for the fertilization process, as we understand these things from sex ed.  It takes thousands of sperm, but only one will penetrate the egg, and a life is born—the miracle of life.  So here are a few sperm injected into a sexual union, and they are looking for an egg.  One is ambitious and works hard to beat the other sperm to the prize.  But there is a wise sperm who is saying to the ambitious one, “Why are you working so hard.”  Of course, the ambitious sperm says, “I want to be the first to get to the egg.”  But the wise sperm says, “But dude, we’re inside some dude’s “exit.”  There is no egg, so why try?”  To frame a homosexual experience nicely.    That is the essential message behind the Hindu faith, Zoroastrianism, as it developed in Iran in 600 BC.  Buddhism as it developed in 500 BC.  Jesus started Christianity due to studying in those many lost years in India, in the Kashmir region 500 years later.  Islam would come along 600 years after that as an aggressive religion invented by the Arabs as a reaction to their continued occupation by the Romans, who went underground as an empire and became a church intent to rule over Europe and the world.  We have falsely centered our study on the Mediterranean region when we should have looked at the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea all over the Himalayas.  Many people were displaced by war, and they had developed a means to deal with its many disappointments—the religions of indifference, peace, and non-action. 

So what are we dealing with here, a vast conspiracy of Bilderberg, World Economic Forum, or Rothchild manipulations who have constructed all these religions to control mass society and perpetually keep wars going in the region to prevent anybody from learning the truth?  Because they want the masses to adopt peaceful beliefs and not fight back against their intrusion.  I’d say it goes deeper into that and was best explained by Paul in the Book of Ephesians when these manipulators were identified as “principalities.”  These creatures work to undo the world God made and stand against goodness as defined by the perpetuation of the human race, as chronicled in the Old Testament, which is older than all the mentioned religions.  My argument is that these principalities have plotted against Yahweh for many thousands of years, and many of the conflicts that are dealt with today are directly associated.  When Jesus and the rest of the Hindus sought to get away from the mess in the mountains of the Himalayas and started so many religions that developed along the Silk Road, they all missed the point.  The goal of life is not to avoid reaching the egg and create a new life.  All the sperm should at least try, even if they are in the wrong place.  It’s not their fault; they should still try to do what they were designed to do: create a new life.  The purpose of humans is to fight and develop as a result of battlefield victory, so in that regard, peace is bad for civilization.  I can understand what Jesus and the Hindus were after.  Buddhism is a great way to manage stress in life.  But like the wise sperm who knew where he was and pointed out the pointless task in front of them, all creatures should fully embrace their job in the hopes that one of them will reach an egg and bring forth new life, either in a physical form or perhaps only in an idea.  But in creation, everything should be dedicated.  Which the Hindu perspective of “non-action” stands against.

Whatever Happened to Eating a Grapefruit: The Depopulation Agenda is very much alive and real

I remember well all the concern over heart attacks and people dying of them that was so prominent in the 80s and 90s.  My dad used to eat a grapefruit most days because he had a stressful job. Our healthcare industry said that if people, especially in business, wanted to live a longer life, they had to take care of their hearts by taking the stress out of their lives and eating certain kinds of fruits.  But have you noticed lately, these last several decades, that the government doesn’t seem to care much if you die unless it is to scare you into supporting more funding for something or some power grab that benefits them?  After the government-mandated vaccines of the Biden administration, a lot of people were suckered into taking them, and it’s quite obvious that there are a lot of people dying early and often in the age group of 20-50 bracket of strange illnesses.  It’s common now to hear of a popular actor or sports figure who is suddenly dying of all kinds of illnesses that usually don’t start killing people until much later in life, and there are a lot of people who would rather look away from this obvious problem.  Suddenly, our government doesn’t seem to care if we drop dead of a heart attack or some other stress-related issue.  It almost seems like they want us to die and that the entire focus on health care, which is another thing I warned about when the government under Obama wanted to seize 1/5 of the whole economy with a socialist power grab in 2010, was on capacity.  How full hospitals were and how we might help the medical labor unions have more rest and not be so stressed out.  Do you see the pattern yet?

Hindsight tells us the truth: the government healthcare analysts never really cared about heart attacks, and they certainly don’t care in a modern sense about hospitals and their often unionized staff, personally.  They were simply medical Marxists operating in the background of our society to slow down our capitalist country so that wealth could be redistributed around the world more “equally.”  A word that Marxists love to use.  Wherever you hear the word, “equality” you are listening to a Marxist radical.  The goal of all the heart attack talk in the period I referred to, from my youth, was to scare business people away from living a stressful 80-hour work week to succeed in a dog-eat-dog world of American capitalism.  They told us to eat a grapefruit and to take some yoga classes so we could learn to quiet our minds and submit to the communist authority intent to take over the world.  They weren’t interested in saving our lives, they wanted to destroy our capitalist society.  And that was the strategy behind Covid years later, to slow down our economy by keeping us home and out of the workplace, which has now gone on for a few years.  There are still a lot of companies in the world that are still accepting COVID protocols, which were completely made up on the back of a napkin by socialists, communists, and overall Marxists to slow the American economy down so that China and other tyrant regimes could catch up and be more equal.  It had nothing to do with saving lives, but threatening those lives so that there would be a behavior change from a capitalist society to a Marxist one.  As a reaction to COVID-19, the government toyed with the unconstitutional idea of mandating vaccines on an entire population, which some people took, believing the government had their best interests in mind. 

As a result, we see a lot of people in the news dying very early over illnesses that don’t usually emerge until people are older, just like the COVID-19 virus that was manufactured in a Wuhan lab in China.  Of course, this has led to the many conspiracy theories that there is a massive depopulation agenda and that people like Bill Gates are spending billions of dollars of their own money to kill people so that all of us pesky humans will save the planet, by dying.  Could there be any truth to that?  Well, of course.  There are many climate change crazies, who also happen to be Marxists, who believe that a centralized state should control production and that the state should limit the impact on the planet to get to essentially a zero-emission economy.  And, of course, anybody who is even a little good at math these days understands what that means, that there can’t be many people alive to have such an economy.  Some people are plotting the death of millions of people because they believe that the planet being saved from them is more important.  And they have been spending their money on projects that intend to depopulate the earth with shortened lives and much less fanfare over every little death that occurs.  Instead, there almost seems to be a bit of a party every time some major celebrity dies now, instead of the mournful regrets from the grapefruit days when heart attacks were to be avoided so people could live longer by slowing down the economy in an overly stressful world.  Now, they just want to slow the economy down by killing off the people who make that economy work. 

Plenty of evidence shows that the various vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna were rushed through the approval process with an almost malicious incompetency. There were all kinds of things wrong with the vaccines that appear to accelerate debilitating illnesses into an eventuality of death, and nobody seems to care. We aren’t measuring things by lives saved, as we used to, but almost like a race to rid the planet of as many people as possible, and many of these depopulation types, such as Bill Gates, are attached to government health care programs and are obsessed with giving people vaccines under the guise of saving lives when the opposite looks to be happening. So, there is no question that many people in positions of power have a depopulation agenda. What has been up to debate is whether they are killing people on purpose or if all this is accidental. The evidence points to all the youthful deaths as being purposeful, and the media reaction to them has been to numb the public and to normalize death. Not to scare people from dying. The Marxists have found a new way of slowing down economies and aligning themselves with a depopulation agenda, especially in Western countries. These are not the days of grapefruit and yoga intent to live long lives. Today’s medical care is filled with Marxists who want to erase as many people from the earth as possible to save the world from humans with a kind of deity worship that hasn’t been seen since the sacrificial cults of the Aztec and Mayan civilizations. It’s not science they are after; it’s the appeasement of concealed forces for a sentiment rooted in mass insanity. And it isn’t very productive in our modern world and has not been prosecuted as it should be. We do have people functioning in the world intent on mass murder, and they avoid prosecution by buying up the entire governments that might come after them. And millions of people are dying in the process in ways that mass murder in any previous time could never have imagined.

The truth is getting out. And it’s mainstream now

From the Hebrew Bible Where the Term “Hamas” Came From: The Muslim Brotherhood under Barack Obama was an act of terrorism to destroy Western Civilization and all of us as a result

To understand the story correctly, and how the terrorist organization, the Muslim Brotherhood came to be, you really must go back to a Jewish Bible and understand the purpose of Hamas and how horrendously bad people wish to use the perception of biblical prophecy to terrorize people politically. In the Jewish Bible Genesis 6: 11 it states “The earth has become corrupted before Elohim, and the earth is filled with Hamas” (lawless violence). Of course, we know that the terrorist group of Hamas that has sworn to destroy all the Jewish people from a Palestinian perspective is of the same name, which is completely on purpose. And that’s not the first time such a thing has been done due to biblical response politically. I’ve read the Quaran many times, and I generally think of religions, whatever they are, as beneficial to people on a quest for spiritual enlightenment. But obviously, the purpose of the Quran, written 600 years after the death of Christ, was political. And that same politics is at work for global domination now and we see it blatantly on our nightly news with the war against Israel and the flash mobs of violence that have been erected overnight. That’s because terrorism is baked into the religious argument, and it’s been that way since the beginning. So when malicious characters today want to hide what they are doing, they have baked into the belief system of people push-button terrorism. Just blow on their tempers, set in motion by the religious practice itself, and suddenly, you can have global wars to cover the tracks of crime and international villainy. The Quran, for me, was never a book of peace and love; it was a political response to Roman control of the Arab world, and once they moved toward Christianity, suddenly, there was a book that took many of the Bible stories and recategorized them toward terrorist aims for purely political objectives.

And so I told everyone that the Muslim Brotherhood, connected directly to these international terrorist intentions, moved into our White House with the election of Barack Obama, and it has gained a foothold in our government ever since.  We now see the result when Obama said he fundamentally wanted to change America. It all started in the living room of the domestic American terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorn, in Chicago, where they launched the career of a kid who was not born in America; nobody knew who his father was. His mom was a sleep-around lunatic who had attachments to all types of communist radicals.  Barack Obama was perfect for the domestic terrorists to use the mask of racism as a way to freeze the gullible Americans into an attack they could do nothing about, and the intention was to bring America down from within.  Obama was hand-picked right then and there to destroy America first as a senator, and they fast-tracked him into the presidency, manipulating the media behind the scenes to remove any barriers that might get in the way.  And it worked because Americans hadn’t seen that kind of deceit before.  Some of us tried to warn everybody, but until the end of Trump’s term, which was a direct response to the terrorist intentions of Barack Obama, who still whispers in the ear of the hapless fool Joe Biden, people had no context for just how evil some of these people were.  And that was part of the plan, nobody would ever suspect the level of evil we were dealing with.  And in that way, the Muslim Brotherhood, just like Black Lives Matters, and Antifa, was born to act as terrorists against the foundations of American, Jewish/Christian values. 

And it was that same type of arrogance, fueled by the ancient belief in prophecy, such as in the quote I cited in Genesis, that evil, however you define it, was unleashed to conduct its villainy.  I tend to think of the principalities with their own political agenda and always working in the background.  But in front of them are the people we actually deal with, the political characters of the world, and all their varied motivations to rule over all of us, for all different reasons.  The Palestinians behind the Hamas terrorist group have sworn the destruction of the Western world.  And we have certainly seen that behavior from the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States, perpetuated and strengthened by the first two Barack Obama presidencies, and through a stolen election, had their strength rekindled during Joe Biden’s term.  This is ultimately one of the many reasons that there was a stolen election, to facilitate this level of global terrorism that sees a desperate opening in 2023 to advance their plans.  The Hamas terrorists didn’t just parachute into Jewish events and slaughter all those innocent people like it was straight out of the Call of Duty video game because they didn’t have a belief that they would get away with it.  And that such an action would provoke Israel into war, and that war would lay ground cover for the real military objectives in the world, fueled by religious terrorism.  And overnight we had terrorist cells hiding behind free speech, daring us to take it away from them, so that we would, in turn, destroy our own Constitutional foundations, declaring in city streets the destruction of all Western civilization.

And behind it, all in America is the terrorist intentions of the Muslim Brotherhood, not an organization of peace and study for relationships with the afterlife, but international terrorists’ intent, just as Hamas is, to destroy Western Civilization in the same way that Islam was created to destroy Rome.  And there is no peaceful co-existence.  These are people who want war with all of us.  We may be advocates of peace, but they want war and our destruction.  We have let them into our culture under the premise of elected office, under the accusations of racism, and they are deeply penetrated through at least three stolen elections into our government.  As I say often, I knew how corrupt the FBI had become during Obama’s administration when there was that Muslim terrorist event during Christmas in San Bernardino, California.  Remember that one where the FBI let the media into the apartment of the killers to taint the evidence, and they refused to call the couple who performed the mass shooting, Islamic terrorists, which they clearly were, as indicated by what they left behind?  These terrorists aren’t all Muslim, but they do share the kind of hate that was indicated in the Hebrew Bible in Genesis 6:11.  Kings James versions have watered down the language a bit, but the Hamas name didn’t just come from nowhere.  It was meant to invoke terrorism into the Western World, and they have no intention of co-existing with anybody.  And they have no desire for self-preservation, they don’t mind sacrificing themselves to the cause.  And now, because of our acceptance of American terrorists, like the group that came from Bill Ayers and his Weather Underground during his entire adult life, we have a very unstable society that may well break out into war in our streets.  And much of our government is currently sympathetic to those terrorist intentions.  They hate the Christian/Jewish foundations of Western civilization, and they are intent on rotting it from within.  And that is giving them a lot of credit.  They are actually much more vicious than that.

The RINOs Who Helped Pass Issue 1 and Issue 2 in Ohio: Freedom of choice to hide the real evil hiding in the background

After more than 24 hours of review on why Issues 1 and 2 passed in Ohio, the right to kill babies and the pot head legalization measures that were passed by essentially the same margins on Election Night, November 7th, 2023, a clear pattern emerges which is wonderfully represented in the picture below. A guy I call Skippy, who has always loomed in the background of our county politics like a lot of people who think similarly, felt entitled to let me know after the election that he was a “freedom” Republican and that my view of the world was authoritarian. And that he voted for “freedom of choice.” And, of course, my response is that with Republicans like him, who needs Democrats? I live in a very conservative area, but I go to plenty of events, some with that guy, and they drink and smoke openly like a bunch of derelicts and quite honestly, it has always bothered me. I don’t encourage drinking and I certainly don’t smoke, anything. I don’t even take aspirin when I get a cold. I despise drugs and those who use them. So I’m not surprised by those kinds of comments, but it certainly isn’t a rationalization for why Issue 2, the legalization of marijuana in Ohio, passed. There are a lot of weak people in the world, and a lot of people who abuse various drugs, alcohol included who I think make the world a much worse place because of their weak politics. The people who put the abortion issue forward, the attackers of our state of Ohio with a lot of outside money reflecting progressive causes, knew the attack vector, and they know people like Skippy here will vote in their direction because they like their drugs. So they attached it to the baby-killing law and snuck it across the finish line. Sure, the Democrats are vile and evil. But so are many who call themselves Republicans because they have their vices, and the bad guys are always able to exploit them for the perpetuation of evil.

Freedom of choice is actually presented as the right to make bad choices that impact other people with the degradation of the aftermath

I warned everyone prior to the election, quite a few weeks ahead, that Issues 1 and 2 would pass with around 56% to 57% of the vote, which is exactly what happened. It was essentially the same margin as we saw in August when we tried to raise the threshold of the constitution to 60% over what it is now at 50+1 to add amendments to the Ohio Constitution. Outside radicals, after they lost Roe v. Wade, turned their progressive intentions toward the states and saw that Ohio had a weak threshold, so they attacked, and now we know the result. By the time Republicans noticed the vulnerability it was already too late. The bad guys put marijuana on the same ballot as abortion purposely in the same way that candy is placed along the checkout line, encouraging temptations for last-minute purchases. If Republicans weren’t so busy smoking and drinking, they might have noticed a long time ago the threat. But they got suckered and played because there are way too many liberals in the Republican party who are soft on all issues, so they water down the defense of truly ethical problems, keep their minds focused on business only, and maintain a socially soft stance on morality which lets vast amounts of evil flourish in the back door of our society. And they are quite proud of it, even haughty. But when it is wondered why abortion passed in Ohio, and how attackers of our state were able to gain so much support, thank your local RINOs for being lured to the dark side and helping evil seed itself into our great state, which is now an embarrassment.

Generally, my favorite places in the state voted my way; they did not support Issue 1 or 2 in the northwest, Midwest (such as Darke County), and all of southwest Ohio flowing over into the east. But Dayton, Columbus, and all of Cleveland and Akron flowing over to the Pennsylvania border and along the coast of Lake Erie voted to smoke dope and kill babies, and that’s not surprising. There are a lot of RINOs in those areas and certainly plenty of scum-bag Democrats who tend to run those liberal cities. And that’s how the margins became what they were, which voter turnout was higher than usual. If Trump had been on the ticket, the ratio might have been better for real conservatives. But as it was, it didn’t surprise me and was a shame to watch. Anyone pushing drugs in a culture of any kind is causing the degradation of intellect and the destruction of your society from within. It has nothing to do with “freedom” of choice. Such things are hidden behind popular sentiments to hide their intentions, which is essentially a military attack to destroy us from within. History is filled with compliant fools who drank their way toward personal destruction, and now can Cheech and Chong laugh at the social degradation that they have now let into our culture to be, as the Pink Floyd song says, “comfortably numb.” Meanwhile, while everyone is numb, they expect you to walk compliantly into a slaughterhouse with a smile on your face because you have your drugs to numb any thoughts you might have about your actual condition. Drugs are poison that are intended to destroy the enemy with evil; that is why they are encouraged in any society that the bad guys want to kill.

I would remind everyone upset about these baby killers and pot smokers that the best way to defeat them is not to follow the rules they create to frame the argument. I say it to people dozens of times a week, and it certainly applies here: never let your enemies define the rules you live by. Laws, often as they are put forth, are constructed for people with bad intentions to perpetuate some ill will behind government power. The abortion issue isn’t about whether or not a baby is a baby at 12 weeks or nine months. A killing is a killing and evil, the same evil that caused God to give Canaan to Abraham, and abortion is murder, and pot and other drugs are inventions to numb the guilt people feel when they live immoral lives and make bad choices. And that’s what RINO Republicans did when they joined vile Democrats to pass both Issue 1 and Issue 2. They have the right to choose, even if those choices are wrong. They want the right to be diabolical scumbags if they so choose, and they use ballot language to hide their narrative of choice behind the real intention of vice for the sake of sin. That’s always why these same types of people didn’t have moral convictions when it came to the Lakota problems, where administrators were displaying a tendency to have sex with children or teach students alternative sexual lifestyles. It’s all the same moral depravity, and there are plenty of Republicans who live lives filled with bad choices. And when you combine them with diabolical Democrats, you get 57% who will vote to kill babies and do drugs without fear of prosecution. Because they want “freedom of choice,” as some vile libertarian argues it. The choice to be a scumbag, the choice to be child molesters or sexual swingers desecrating their marriage covenant in the eyes of God, or dope addicts stoned to Pink Floyd songs. And if such bad decisions produce a baby with some unwanted sexual union, they want the ability to kill that baby to erase the mistakes they made so they are free to smoke, drink, and be wastes of human flesh in a world in solid need of intellect.

Smart people get it
