The Market Decides Success, Not Governments: Modern Monetary Theory’s attempt to inject Marxism into the world economy

The good news is that there is an obvious path to victory regarding all the scary intentions of the Deep State and their Administrative State terrorists.  It all comes down to the classic failures of Marxism and the incredible intelligence of capitalism, as expressed by Adam Smith and his fantastic book that every leader of every country should read, The Wealth of Nations.  Hidden behind this current corporate partnership with the government, which has become apparent during Covid, the long-established plans were set bare, and now we know what they were up to and for what reasons.  Governments want to avoid violating countries’ Constitutions by backdooring everything with corporate loopholes.  And those who lobby governments and put money in the pockets of politicians, who secretly want to control the world, use governments’ power to extort corporations into playing along for their own good. The fear of regulations by governments forces corporations to play in partnership with the government to give the government power that the Bill of Rights doesn’t allow.  And once these forces control the finance industry, you see the genuinely frightening tyranny we are presently in.  But, the entire concept, which is wrapped up in failed Marxism from the start, is the very foundation of the whole scheme, and yet the attackers do not understand the trajectory of failure, and that includes people like George Soros, Rupert Murdoch, and his family at Fox News, and all the major studio heads.  The plan was to fake the Marxist takeover of the world’s major corporations with this arraignment using phony made-up money using Modern Monetary Theory to buy off the depleted stock values, tricking CEOs into believing that the next excellent value system would be ESG, which is well underway now.  But in the end, the market is in charge, not the government or corporations, and once the smoke clears, all these characters will learn some hard lessons.  

It was embarrassing to see all the top people in the industry miss the market trends in the latest movies hitting during the summer.  For instance, the box office disappointment of the latest Mission Impossible is a good representation.  The belief was that because Top Gun: Maverick by Tom Cruise made over a billion dollars, his next film would do just as well because it’s another action picture.   When Mission Impossible started off slow, the industry panicked because the assumptions were all wrong.  Mission Impossible is a different kind of film than Top Gun, so the trend was concerning. At the same time, The Sound of Freedom was a surprise smash hit and has been very profitable for Angel Studios.  Now this is where it gets tricky because BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard as money managers are now the top stockholders for all these capitalist endeavors, from movies to fast food restaurants, and they have bought that stock and control with largely phony money, with Larry Fink’s relationship to the fed, Janet Yellen and the gang.  Yes, the same Janet Yellen who loves communists and was seen bowing to the ruler of China, President Xi Jinping.  By printing fake money at the Federal Reserve and dumping it into Wall Street, to Fink and the gang, this partnership has caused even these movie companies to stop making movies for actual stock value, driven by box office results, and instead to appease that new market of partnership with the government because the government can then print unlimited amounts of money.  But people still vote with real value for what they consume in the marketplace.  See where this is headed?

And Rupert Murdoch, in all his foreign arrogance, thought that Fox News had a lot more power than it did.  This is the same kind of stupidity that you will hear at dinner parties among the very wealthy, where they can’t smell their own bad breath, and nobody will tell them so because they like rubbing shoulders with the rich and powerful.  They believe people are too stupid to think for themselves, so they will buy anything corporations put out because that’s what people do.  And I knew many people who believed that Ron DeSantis would be the guy because Fox News picked him to suppress Trump for the next presidential election.  I listened to people try and tell me last year that Trump had no chance because either Fox would sink him or the government would destroy him, so I needed to get over my support of Trump.  It was never going to happen again.  Then I would tell them, “Guys, the government is not in control.  Corporations are not in control.  The marketplace is in charge and will ultimately decide.”  People think Rupert Murdoch must know something special just because he is rich.  Sometimes people get lucky, and many rich people are in that condition.  Or, they are more ruthless than others and don’t have that valve of morality that tells them not to crush everyone around them needlessly.  Whatever it is, they aren’t that smart usually, and they have a false belief generally in the power their money can buy, fake or real.  Ultimately, as Adam Smith figured out in 1776, the invisible hand of markets is driven by desire.  Fulfillment of that desire is profitable.  Controlling that desire with market controls like disguised Marxism through Modern Monetary Theory still leaves people with resentment and anger, which is why things are these days as they are.

The attack of private investors into government, and government into corporations, to bring about economic philosophy that will change the world is just as stupid as the concept that Ron DeSantis would destroy Trump and ultimately put control of the populist movement into their hands.  The Deep State, which controls all these forces through various means, wants to think they can continue to put their people into the American government.  So far, they have been successful because they have stayed in secret. But now that pressure has forced them out in the open, it’s a different story.  They are learning that market value is real, whether it’s movies at the theater or presidential picks for the Executive Branch.  These people were never really in charge.  They only gained a political advantage through deceit.  But once that cover was blown, which it is, all their assumptions about how markets work, and any need, fell apart in front of their faces.  And that’s how all this will end as well.  The control of all the major corporations through stock buys built off Modern Monetary Theory by complete losers like Janet Yellen, Ben Bernanke, and Jerome Powell was always going to fail because it assumed that value could be controlled by printed money, not market need.  And now that they are all caught, and there are many tens of thousands of perpetrators, they should all be going to jail or punished in as severe a way as possible for messing with the money supply with an attempted Marxist takeover that essentially has wrecked the lives of millions of people.  And they have been caught, just as Rupert Murdoch has been seen, believing they had more power than they did and that people would serve the markets rather than the markets serving the people, as it would always be.

The Goal of the Deep State: Pedophilia on a mass scale

I didn’t arrive at this conclusion lightly.   It is the sum of a lot of work, study, and life experience.  And any suspicions I had on the matter that wanted to think otherwise evaporated with the latest school scandal at Lakota, in my neighborhood, where yet another administrative staff member had been found to have excessively sexual lifestyles, and kids were part of the role-playing fantasy.  Watching how all the various authority figures moved to cover up the actions was stunning, especially since I knew many of the personalities personally.  That experience was incredibly educational, but it wasn’t the first time.  Over the last few years, including some people that I knew very well and would never guess that they would have temptations toward pedophilia, and were actually hard-core pastor types of the local church, were caught trying to give nude backrubs to 11-year-old girls.  It was everywhere, and many members of the administrative state went out of their way to cover it up, but why.  And just how bad was it?  So when you ask what the root cause of the Deep State is, why a small group of people who consider themselves the wealthy elite, I call them the Desecrators of Davos, want so intensely to acquire so much wealth and power, it can only then start to make a bit of sense.  When you ask that question seriously and stacked with behavioral evidence, you find that it is sex addiction and the power it gives some over others that is the real problem, and eventually, almost all roads of that lifestyle lead to pedophilia.  And that the entire purpose of a Deep State rooted in globalism, hidden behind social causes as a mask to conceal the evil, is to have access to children to fulfill that vile objective. 

I started this effort by talking about personal experiences that showed me how bad this situation really is and how people you know well are investing themselves directly or indirectly in pedophilia.  But that is an answer in the micro that connects to massive evidence in the macro.  People understand that over 2 million children a year go missing if you have seen the recent Christian-based movie, The Sound of Freedom.  It was shown to President Trump, and he has declared that if he’s president again, he will go to war with the Deep State and their various criminal cartels, which are purposely allowed to break all rules and moral norms to terrorize the innocent.  We have to then look at the way the members of the Deep State spend their time, specifically the shocking case of Jimmy Savile, the very popular BBC celebrity, and the extensive pedophilia that he engaged in with a large number of people in the entertainment industry, who interacted with the Royal Family regularly and was considered a pimp to Jersey Island, the English territory just north of the French mainland that is a known haven for the rich and famous seeking sexual interaction with children, boys, and girls.  When you consider that Mr. Climate Change himself, King Charles knows about all this, a stunning revelation comes into sharp focus.  The point of the Deep State isn’t just to run the world.  But they want to run the world so that they can have a way to satisfy their immense sexual appetites.  If they run the world, they can live above the law, which is what we have seen with Jeffery Epstein in America and from what we know and are learning about in regard to Jimmy Savile, which involved every kind of sexual perversion that could be imagined.  And people propped him up as a celebrity anyway, knowing full well what he was up to, government members, law enforcement, and everyone at the BBC.  And once the story got out, the key member of the BBC who had been facilitating all the behavior had to leave for another job as the head of The New York Times. 

If you’ve ever been in a fraternity or witnessed a hazing ritual, you will know that public debasement is part of the team-building process.  The same idea applies to corporate heads, political figures, and social influencers.  Members of rock bands understand this all too well as groupies, many of them extremely young, throw their young bodies at stinky, sweaty members of the band to be close to them.  The managers turn the other way because it gets the band members addicted to the sex and keeps them coming back for more.  They wouldn’t get that kind of attention in any other life, but in being a rock star.  And once down that road, there is no way back to normal.  Sex is a never-ending appetite and usually ends in some form of pedophilia.  This is true of the creepy next-door neighbor or the wealthy mover and shaker at the top of the political pyramid.  And the people who want to rule the world want to facilitate that weakness.  Why does anybody think that porn is essentially what the internet provides?  Everything else is a front for pornography, just as almost every type from the progressive leftism in the world, earth preservation, racism, and Modern Monetary Theory are all fronts for the pursuit of sex with the power acquired and the ability to exist above the law because everyone else is so compromised.  Back to my personal story in Lakota schools in Butler County, Ohio, the reluctance to punish the crime was that so many in the decision-making process were compromised themselves.  They had behaved poorly in public, people had a video of the acts, and they couldn’t afford to have a moral position.  And many people in authority found themselves in the same position at all levels.  They couldn’t punish the threat of pedophilia because they were either guilty themselves or were thinking of becoming guilty because they wanted to participate.  They weren’t outraged by the behavior because they wanted to be just as bad if given the chance and acquire the power to do so. 

Preying on the gullibility of the innocent is part of the charge behind the sexual intrusion.  So by taking that sentiment to its logical conclusion, the entire point of the Deep State is to acquire power, using infinite wealth to inflict that power, to have access to sexual manipulation and conquest over others.  And the younger, the better because it is a very powerful temptation to steal innocence from those not yet tarnished in the world and to be the first to leave your mark on them.  The Deep State is an ancient menace that is rooted in perversion for all the animal instincts that have destroyed mankind since the beginning of time.  And the quest for political power to indulge in those activities is enormous and not talked about enough.  It’s a topic people would like to avoid because they don’t want to know.  But it’s at the center of all political discourse.  And if you ever doubt it, just visit K-Street in Washington, D.C.  Everyone knows what’s going on, including the police and the politicians.  But nobody stops the prostitution there, just a few blocks from the White House.  The root cause of most of the political trouble in the world is sexual, and it’s impossible to have a proper society when such a priority is the reason for all activity.  Yet that is the truth of it when you pull back all the talk about socialism, charities, renewable energy, everything, you have a mask that is intent to take advantage of someone sexually, an intern, a prostitute, or a sex trafficked kid to satisfy some unquenchable desire, that brings great evil into the world through the ultimate theft.  And once a person crosses those lines, as most people do in some way, there is no going back or hope to restore a life without such terrible things happening in the world.

The Government Caused Mess of PPP Loans and Student Loan Forgiveness: To stay in power, they are planning the next pandemic released through a deadly bioweapon

Mark it on your calendar; the Democrats aren’t just going to give up their criminal empire with the Global World Order.  They have been taking advantage of Americans behind a thin façade of helpful activism recently.  But they were always out for the worst the human race can imagine.  The Biden White House is preparing for another “pandemic,” as the communists at the World Health Organization are starting to talk about again because they see what’s going on with populism around the world, and it’s getting harder to cheat in elections.  They aren’t going to play fair; they will try and implement another Covid virus, this time one that is deadly because it’s their only option.  The Biden White House is soaked with serious scandals; people already don’t believe that Biden was ever elected president.  And now people are catching on to how bad this pedophilia problem is everywhere.  We’re not just talking about sex tourism in Vietnam or Jersey in the British Isles right off the northern coast of France.  We are talking about a massive problem that goes well beyond Jeffery Epstein.  People are learning, and they are seeking action.  So, you better believe it; they will try to unleash another virus to halt the impact of the 2024 election where nothing else has been able to stop Trump.  And before they let him in office to crack down on the cartels and drain the Swamp in Washington D.C., they are looking toward another virus to unleash before they all end up in jail for the damage they caused during the first pandemic, which was wholly made up by governments as a bioweapon and released in partnership with China to establish a global Great Reset of all capitalist economies and to gain centralized control converting them into communist ones along the lines of China’s model.   Don’t kid yourself; yes, these people are killers, and they are that malicious.  They will kill a significant portion of the population before they get caught and punished for what they’ve done in the past, and they are indeed planning it as we speak. 

And this is an excellent opportunity to think about what they did do before, which has come up lately regarding student loan debt and the PPP loans provided during Covid to allow businesses to continue paying their payroll as the government shut down the economy leaving everyone in indecision as to how to handle even basic business needs.  What they share in common is a government that stuck itself into the middle of everyone’s lives and made a mess of things.  In America, when we talk about “freedom,” we mean freedom from the stupidity of government.  The government is supposed to serve our essential management needs for a country, but they aren’t supposed to get in the way and rule over us like some spoiled brat aristocracy.  And since the falsely placed Joe Biden has been trying to buy votes among stressed-out young people who are encumbered with too much student debt from a product grossly inflated, which is a college education made that way because the government has tampered with the market by supporting labor costs driven that way from teacher unions and other progressive activism.  The defense of using the government to give relief to those loans by government forgiveness was thrown in the direction of the PPP loans as if they were all the same thing.  And they aren’t.  With Student Loans, that was a choice to hopefully buy into the aristocracy of a tiered system created by the government to manage society with opportunities to “teach” kids Democrat platform options, such as communism, by providing them with a gateway opportunity to get paid more money as an office bureaucrat in the Administrative State.  The government caused PPP loans as a reaction to a condition the government caused, which was the purposeful mismanagement of the economy which businesses must function within. 

PPP loans are loans provided by the Small Business Administration (SBA) to help small businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. These loans were meant to assist enterprises struggling to stay afloat during these difficult times. The loans could cover payroll costs, rent, utilities, and other essential business expenses. The loans are forgivable if specific criteria are met, such as using the funds for eligible expenses and maintaining employee headcount and salary levels. Overall, PPP loans were an essential resource for small businesses looking to weather the economic challenges caused by the pandemic, which the government caused.  Covid 19 didn’t happen in nature; it was made horrible by people who work in communist governments and want to use terrorism to drive people from capitalist markets into communist ones.  And people have been trying to throw them all into one basket as an either-or situation.  PPP loans for many companies were necessary because governments tampered with their way of life.  Student loans are kids trying to buy into an aristocracy of the Administrative State driven by more government activism intent to control society and regulate economic activity as a central communist authority.  I can personally convey the horror stories of the PPP loans because the government was hostile, primarily through the IRS.  They tied up a lot of money, and when it was time to return it, they didn’t want to.  Many companies didn’t make it through Covid because of the government, and it has cost people a lot, which has never yet been redeemed. 

And here we are almost four years later, and nobody has gone to jail over what they did during Covid, for the purposeful murder of people with the bioweapon that was made in a Chinese lab in Wuhan and released, purposely to be just one of the many contributing causes of election fraud in America.  Yes, the people involved are that bad, even worse.  And to cover up their crimes, Biden’s communist-oriented administration has been telling kids to go to college, get liberally indoctrinated, and grow up to become wishy-washy Democrats for the first part of their adult lives, and they’ll pay off their debt.  So, they can pay all those incredibly expensive and equally worthless college professors, mostly all Democrats, a wage they clearly wouldn’t get in the free market where their value is much less.  The college debt was a choice.  The PPP loans were not; that was survival, which, even so, often didn’t work.  And years later, companies are still trying to sort things out from the government mess they injected into the situation.  And it’s all bad and created by government stupidity, which they want to provide more with a communist takeover of the global economy.  No thanks.  They have done quite enough damage.  And now that they are caught, people realize just how bad they have been and who did what to whom; punishment is on everyone’s minds.  That is why they plan to do it all again and expect to use student loan forgiveness to at least put the young people back to sleep so they can stay in power a bit longer through a rigged 2024 election because it’s their only option.  Besides killing off those seeking justice, most people are screaming because it’s their only way out, this time from an angry mob that isn’t as gullible in 2023 as they were in 2019.  Just don’t underestimate how bad government can be or how deadly when fighting for their own survival.

The World Economic Scam of Yuval Harari: A cult of Death and Sacrifice of little children as advertised on 60 Minutes

My target audience here is not the masses; however, they are welcome to participate.  Rather I see this all as battlefield recon to the influencers who actually make things happen.  I put these frequent articles out as often as I do and on the variety of subjects I do for media personalities who run popular shows and podcasts, along with traditional news programs to inspire them with original content.  My management style in life, and the reason my advice holds up under tremendous pressure, is that what I do is very valuable to a lot of people in the world, and I can afford not to make a living off this kind of dialogue, otherwise, these kinds of conversations don’t happen.  And often, things happen so fast and are so interconnected that there isn’t time to write a book on the topic because, by the time you do, the issue has already come and gone.  So, I write these articles to keep these topics as close to the front of the train as possible, using the metaphor on the Metaphysics of Quality from Robert Pirsig as an example.  There isn’t time for accolades or promotion because the goal is to fight the battle faster than the caboose where our news media lives and provides information to those masses.  To win this fight, we must be faster and wiser, and we are.  This is certainly the case regarding Yuval Harari, the little gay guy philosopher and personal advisor for the World Economic Forum, which many people consider to be one of the most intelligent people in the world; people like Barack Obama, Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, and those types of influential people.  I don’t think he’s brilliant at all, and while doing my own research on him, I figured things out pretty fast. 

It’s not just because he’s a gay guy that Yuval Harari has not been someone I pay much attention to.  As a lot of Americans feel about him, Yuval is not my kind of guy, intellectually.  He’s a timid, fearful little fella.  But for the sake of understanding the mentality of the World Economic Forum types, I did read a few of Yuval’s books, especially Sapiens, and I quickly saw the same old scam perpetrated on the human race since the beginning of time.  And much of that scam was revealed in plain site when Anderson Cooper, another gay guy, this time from 60 Minutes, did a particular segment on Yuval Harari to prop him up as some great, wise master of history.  But in so doing, they filmed a significant portion of their interview at Tel Gezer, between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, which was the ancient Canaanite site of the mass sacrifice of children.  I covered a particular segment on Tel Gezer recently, specifically for reasons like this, where people need to connect the dots and understand what kind of religious order we are dealing with here regarding globalists and World Economic Forum types.  This is why the Bible is important, so that context to these ancient struggles can be understood and once they are, then the kind of evil we are dealing with involving these modern-day radicals are the identical precise elements that we have been fighting since the dawn of mankind, out of all the places that Yuval Harari, the progressive futurist, and professor from Israel, took Anderson Cooper to the ancient archaeological site that was dedicated to the deity Moloch, part of the pantheon of Baal worshipers that God was so mad at in the Old Testament.  It’s the spot where a young girl was found sacrificed after being cut in half, and further evidence of the mass sacrifice of children was haphazardly discovered in a pile all thrown together.  It’s a grisly site, and not precisely the kind of place anybody but anti-Christian forces would consider celebrating.

 And this is how the game works; on the 60 Minutes promotion of Yuval Harari and his utterances that a new god was in the world that needed to be worshipped were two gay guys, as if to normalize perverse sexual lifestyles while celebrating with a wink and a nod a place that sacrificed to the god Moloch, which was the devourer of children.  Canaanites used to sacrifice abundantly to Moloch, often their firstborn, because it meant more because of the value.  It was a common practice that we see very much in the efforts of the World Economic Forum, where they do believe the earth is overpopulated, and there are plans to kill off many people to preserve their pagan gods of the earth.  Worshiping the god Moloch isn’t some ancient thing; it’s very much the religion of the day for them and is behind the abortion movement.  And Covid, in many ways, is the desire to control mass civilization through medicine and to preserve the earth as if it were a deity of its own, connected to these ancient gods from historic times.  And that’s what is ultimately behind the transhumanist movement, which Yuval is trying to sell to the world, the idea that technology is the new Moloch in the world and that we must worship it with continued human sacrifice to fulfill the depopulation agenda.  When you wonder where the World Economic Forum gets a lot of its dumb ideas, many of them come from Yuval Harari and his obvious hatred for the human race, likely for lots of reasons.  He is far from a normal person, but he’s being sold to us so that we think he’s smart and should be listened to.  Yet essentially, he’s just like a high priest from Canaan who practices abundant child sacrifice to the ancient gods, which was essentially the plot of the Bible from beginning to end.  What is evil, and what do we do about it?  And who is God? Is it the old Canaanite pantheon or this new guy Yahweh who thought sacrificing children was a horrible idea?

Yuval Harari is a scam, a tool of the World Economic Forum to resurrect ancient gods and use them to take over the world, and yes, it is that crazy.  It’s every bit that crazy, and everything they touch, from arts and entertainment to finance, politics, ethics, and science, is bent toward this human-hating scam and desire to appease the spirit world of the ancient Canaanites, and other regional gods from the old world, specifically Egypt. They think, the Desecrators of Davos types, that the Bible is for idiots, that they know the old religions that predate the Christian view of the world, and that they are superior to that knowledge, which they parade in front of us with a wink and a nod.  But if you understand history well, and deal with a lot of interconnecting subjects, like I endeavor to do on this very fast-moving site, then you can catch them on it.  And then understand what they are up to and why they want to conquer the world.  But technology isn’t as scary as they’d like you to believe.  And it certainly isn’t the new god to worship with the sacrifice of little kids.  Yet that is their justification for what they do and why they do it.  And it’s what we must fight with that understanding to defeat.  Rationalizing with them will never work because they are evil and actually quite insane.  But knowing their motives is needed so that we can stop treating them and begin to see them for the enemy they are and the hostile assailants against all human activity at the core of their not-so-well-disguised religion.

It Would Be Easy to Defend Trump on this Third Indictment: There’s only one horse in this race, all the others are still in the barn

I’d be happy to volunteer for President Trump’s legal team to argue this third indictment.  I could do it in front of an entirely Democrat jury and make a successful case for a not-guilty verdict.  Without even reading the specifics of the Jack Smith prosecution of President Trump and any connection to the January 6th insurrection dialogue that the perpetrators of election fraud to put Joe Biden in the White House instead, is clearly a free speech case that will fall apart quickly in a courtroom.  Just as most of these Democrat prosecutions will if they ever see a courtroom.  I don’t think this one will be from Jack Smith.  My opinion about it is that it’s pure desperation from a bunch of people who know they were not elected into their positions and that their power and authority are completely phony.  Trump was elected legitimately, and these government prosecutors have been involved in a political coup that utilized with undeserved power acquired through theft and manipulation.  And this is getting way too predictable.  We all knew they were going to try to do this because they have no other way of trying to stop Trump from being elected.  And again, Joe Biden was going to get destroyed by this upcoming IRS whistleblower, so to defer attention in the media, they did what Democrats always do; they tried to make the story about someone else.  So, they played this card hoping to shake attention away from Old Man Biden, who is the real guilty party.  Yeah, I would happily defend Trump in court on this one.  Any lawyer should be able to if it even sees a court date.  I do not agree with many of the theories that are out there that are in love with the horse race of politics.  This abuse of power by the Biden Department of Justice is a short-lived threat. 

In the end, there is only one horse in this political horse race; all the other horses are still in the barn.  It doesn’t matter if it’s the Republicans or the Democrats, Trump is the only horse on the track, and there isn’t anything anybody can do to change that.  This is not China, as much as many of the Administrative State people looking for perpetual security with government jobs would like to think.  These personal abuse legal cases motivated purely out of self-preservation of the bad guys aren’t going to last long.  All it does is give people who like to talk about the horse races of politics something to discuss.  When it comes to the actual race, Trump has already won.  Many talking about that horse race think that the Democrats have this all figured out and are using these indictments to make Trump the Republican nominee because it’s making him so popular.  And that Democrats want to run against Trump as opposed to all the other options.  And that Trump will be killed in the general as all the suburban moms and soft-shelled tacos will drift back to Biden, and the long string of corruption associated with the Democrat Party can then continue.  News flash, the Democrats aren’t that smart.  They don’t have that kind of horsepower. 

Clay and Buck, on the new show that has replaced Rush Limbaugh, is nowhere near as insightful as Rush was.  Rush would understand what’s going on, but those guys and their Fox contracts keep them from seeing reality.  Or maybe they just miss it because they are too conventional.  I heard them utter that theory about Democrats, and it’s clear that they are swinging and missing.  Trump isn’t in trouble.  There could be 100s of indictments by this corrupt government, which won’t change one thing about this upcoming election.  People are mad; they want revenge for the way Trump was ripped off during his first term and had his presidency taken from him in an all too obvious coup, ran by our own government with Covid, that sought to destroy our entire economy just to preserve the losers in the Swamp.  And if Trump isn’t on a ticket where they try to strip him off the ballot in all 50 states with some made-up technicality, then there will be a lot of unleashed anger that the Democrats are all too aware of.  They’ve looked at the numbers, and they know they cheated and by how much.  And they know that the American people do not support the Democrat platform.  And now we are at another election, and more people believe that the 2020 election was stolen than during that first year.  The movement has only grown, and Democrats are terrified of those eventual ramifications.  They hope they can run out the clock by keeping Trump out of the election because they know they won’t be able to beat him in the general.  Because Joe Biden never had 81 million votes.  They rigged the election the old-fashioned way, the way elections have been rigged in China, Venezuela, Russia, and all over Central and South America and Europe.  They cheated on so many fronts that it’s almost ridiculous at this point, and people have seen it for themselves.  The Democrats who played along have some tough days coming, with or without Trump.  And they know it.

I watched a recent Fox News interview with Trump and Bret Baier carefully, as it was important for the reporter to remind President Trump that he did not win the election.  That was coming from Fox News and Rupert Murdoch’s position as a media owner from a foreign country.  That wasn’t a reporter letting the facts take him wherever they went.  That was an activist trying to preserve the Beltway institution from an outside challenger who clearly won, but that victory was canceled by nefarious means, such as judges who refused to review the case for the implications it would have caused to the institution of government itself.  And the reminder that all 50 states had a recount and that Trump still lost because they counted all the same fake ballots that were put in place by Facebook, and a lot of FBI activism to finish off the coup they started while Trump was in office, revenge for firing Jim Comey and not bending the knee to the fourth branch of government, which was never supposed to exist in the first place.  I’ve talked to Frank LaRose, our Secretary of State in Ohio, about this election fraud issue.  Everyone knows what states like Pennsylvania and Michigan did to stuff ballots.  Frank did well in Ohio, so there was a good margin for Trump.  But other states had more open laws made more open by early voting and Covid mail-in ballots.  And the cheating got so out of hand that it took 81 million votes to beat the actual real number that Trump received, which was more than any other president in the history of America.  The suburban moms did not stay home the way Fox News said they did.  Trump had a frightening number of votes even after all that was thrown at him.  And his support has increased; it hasn’t gone down.  That’s why they are doing what they are now with the Department of Justice and the dummy Jack Smith, who is willing to make himself look like a fool to save his friends in government who have built quite a criminal empire out of their positions.  But in the end, the Bill of Rights matters, and these ridiculous charges are going to be exploited easily.

The World Economic Forum Has Declared War on America: Under all rules of engagement, they are guilty

A few years ago, I covered the day I was with my family at the Kings Island Amusement Park, and there was quite a lot of commotion upon learning that they would go completely cashless. Where did that decision come from? Suddenly, there was no other option to use at a popular tourist destination than a credit card. And that credit card company was fully involved in the efforts of globalism as defined by the World Economic Forum, a shady group of anti-American activists hell-bent on global domination through controls of finance and centralized banking. If a country attacked our power grid to raid the lives of Americans in some way, we would openly declare war on the aggressor. The same would happen if China amassed a military force in the Gulf of Mexico intending to invade New Orleans. Maybe they want to take control of the Cajun food market. The declaration of war would be evident and committed. We have gone to war for other reasons, supposedly to protect Iraq from the aggression of Saddam Hussain. We have gone to war in Vietnam to protect that country from the encroachments of communism—the same in Korea.   We went to war in Afghanistan to combat the recruitment and training of terrorists. We went to war in World War II to help our friends deal with a global menace in Europe, primarily because they kept attacking our ships and pushing our buttons to drag us into the war, finally with the bombing of Pearl Harbor. You could go down through history and look at the reasons America has been pushed into war with other countries and see a clear pattern, which all involve threats to our sovereignty which were clear and obvious.

And as ridiculous as it has become, the premise of the whole war in Ukraine is supposed to be over border violations between Russia which used to hold the territory, and Ukraine, which is an obvious United Nations asset strategically implemented to fulfill the goals of a New World Order. Both characters are pretty unsympathetic and up to their own maniacal schemes, yet we are supposed to care one way or the other as Americans about the outcome and to spend countless amounts of money on them in the process of war that has been declared. But when it’s evident that America has been attacked at its financial roots, such as what happened at Kings Island, and most prominent public venues, such as sporting events which suddenly wouldn’t handle cash, we were supposed to be fine with all these centralized bankers suddenly gaining control over our entire economy. A vote by the people of America didn’t decide the push to have a cashless society. It came from a collection of corporations at the World Economic Forum who suddenly revealed that they thought they were in control of the world’s economies and were announcing, without saying the obvious, that they were in control and people would do what they told them to. And a cashless society was their goal, and people would have to deal with it. Our politicians didn’t agree to it. And people certainly didn’t want it. I mentioned it then and predicted it would cause trouble, which it has. But something much more sinister than just inconvenience has emerged. The World Economic Forum has declared war against life in America and is disrespectfully imposing itself on our nation, which has threatened national security. 

Every time we talk about classified documents being a threat to national security, or the military declares something as classified, such as a UFO because it could be a threat to national security, but we watch the World Economic Forum openly plot the end of America right in front of our faces by controlling the American economy, and nobody gets upset about it, the same people who want to go to war with every country which threatens us in some way, then you know something is very wrong. What the World Economic Forum has done to America openly has been to plot war against American sovereignty, and every politician that has helped them do it, and every company who has worked with them for that cause, are guilty of treason and sedition. Under all the classic definitions, any action threatening the health and happiness of the American people would constitute war and the destruction of the threat. And the World Economic Forum has done more than threaten us. They have taken aggressive action to control our way of life by controlling the money we use for economic opportunity. It’s not different than attacking our oil supply, invading some port, sinking a ship in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, or killing American tourists in some faraway land.   Attacking America’s money is an attack on our country and its people. The World Economic Forum has declared war on America, and we have yet to meet the challenge for a number of reasons. One of which is that many of our own people have been seduced by the prospect of easy money from those who control the mechanisms of finance. So we have quite a tangled web of deceit and mayhem here to deal with.

A large part of the problem is who do you declare war against? The World Economic Forum doesn’t really exist anywhere, it’s just a collection of people, just like a country is, but it lacks physical assets to attack. This isn’t a war over bridges, railroads, and highways. But it is over banking, the internet, and how money flows from one place to another. It requires us to redefine where threats come from because the World Economic Forum is currently hiding its aggression by not having a physical country to rally against. The big secret of globalism is that they exist without borders and are openly attacking all concepts of nationalism in an obvious effort to topple them. The most obvious example which affects everyone is the cashless impositions. Most people assume that the decision was made by people smarter than them in the nefarious world of finance, and they don’t care much until they realize that their credit cards can be turned off to control social behavior once most people have been pushed into the system through these aggressive actions. And the World Economic Forum has clearly indicated in public these strategies.

And to make matters worse, as has been extremely obvious with everything associated with their Great Reset, Covid was a military tactic by them that harmed many millions of people and has only been hidden because the aggression came from a corporate collection of hostile agents using our governments as their agents of destruction. We’ve never dealt with this type of menace in human history, so the lack of definitions clearly creates chaos and confusion among the voting population. Nobody is voting for these things, yet they are happening against our consent. And nobody is stopping any of it from happening, even though under all definitions of aggression, America should have gone to war with the World Economic Forum a long time ago. They are hostile to American interests and think they are protected from retaliation because they lack a country to call their own, and countries can only declare war against other countries. I’d say no. War can be declared against hostile individuals too. And when it comes to the World Economic Forum, there are a lot of hostile individuals working against the American way of life, which calls to order retaliation over severe examples of duplicity and terror that have been quite purposeful.

The Way to Beat Secret Societies: Hidden power gained through hidden rules to create the illusion of knowledge

Usually, when people talk about secret societies, there is a level of dread that is associated. Secret societies seem ominous because, as human beings, we think of the things we don’t know about as being powerful and godly, which is part of the appeal that drives people into secret society membership. And this is a problem when you are trying to run a transparent society where you understand the characters and their motives. In an honest world, there shouldn’t be any desire for secret societies. There shouldn’t be any secrets. But as we have learned over the last several years, many secret societies work in the background and are attached to many of the messes that are part of our modern problems. The quest for secret knowledge to leverage power over others is a strong aphrodisiac to the kind of personalities who want to rule over others. That has made secret society membership a menace to society because it keeps people from dealing squarely with one another. If so many secret societies ask for supernatural, occult aid, how should a straightforward, election-based culture operate? And that is where we currently find ourselves, especially in Europe and America–those who want to be like Europe. I know of many secret societies, and I know the kind of people who are members, and they aren’t very secret, especially in a society that has as much information access as we do these days. Secret societies aren’t so secret anymore because everyone knows where everyone else is and what they’re doing. Which leaves the question pending, why join one in the first place? What could they possibly do for anybody? 

Well, I have a very different take on secret societies that I have formed over a long period of time. And what helps that perspective is that I have never wanted to be in one. I tend to like to be in charge. I was like that as a little kid, so working my way up in a secret society, like the Masons, or some other group, was never for me. I never liked being told what to do, and I always required full autonomy for my independence. So, it was easy for me to say no to those kinds of membership offers. I once had quite a fight with an entire fraternity because I went there to see a friend of mine with my wife, which apparently there were all kinds of rules against. And on our way up to the fraternity house, she walked across the seal on the sidewalk for their membership. There were house rules on how to serve that seal best, and not knowing anything about those rules as a visitor, she didn’t know she wasn’t supposed to walk over it. The entire house rallied to assault us, but I have an unyielding personality, so a stalemate ensued because they really didn’t want to fight. They were obligated by the fraternity charter to conduct themselves in such a way, but they were all wimps who really didn’t want to fight that they were forced to stew; as I visited my friend, he toured me around the house, and we left uneventfully. My friend was removed from the fraternity after we left, which is a common passive-aggressive action that low-conflict threshold people perform when faced with a challenge to their invisible authority. 

This is what the weakness of all secret societies have, whether it’s just a college fraternity or the Skull and Bones Society that the Bush and Kerry families were members of. The training for this way of thinking often starts early for people so that by the time they are fully functioning adults, they are largely governed by secret social rules that aren’t openly expressed, which then makes managing a stable society a challenge because you have people worshipping lots of rules that are not part of the ethics of a social construct. And I have found all such people to be weak and easy to beat in whatever the engagement is, whether it’s physical, legal, or purely social. People drawn to secret societies want secret rules and power to protect them from their insecurities, which is why they are attracted to such powers in the first place. The power is an illusion because other people can’t know what those powers are. And this little shift in social engagement gives the illusion of power. In some ancient cultures, a high priest might acquire such power by understanding when an eclipse would occur and might point at the sky and declare power over the heavens. And because the information about how eclipses occur was secret to the society, who did not have access to that information because of some tyrannical regime, the high priest appears to have a secret power over the heavens. But the whole gag is about a lack of knowledge, not in full disclosure. And this is what draws people into secret societies, invisible rules to create the illusion of secret power. 

There is also a strong desire for weak people to hide in the herd to not be independent. They fear being singled out in society, so they seek membership in groups to hide in the safety of the masses. Group membership tells the world that people value them enough to be associated with a secret handshake and an exchange of some fundamental shared values. One of the most insecure things for people is to grow up and away from their parents; most people never develop that ability. So to fill that void, they seek a brotherhood and create a new family out of secret society membership, such as the Masons. Companionship is one of human beings’ most primal needs, so group consensus associated with limited access is a very persuasive motivator. And that is all innocent enough until those mentalities are brought into elected politics, where you expect representatives to perform on a job based on a platform they were elected to. Not following some rules of the secret handshake in the Skull and Bones Society which dominates Beltway politics within the intelligence agencies and operates to social practices that the rest of society that pays for their government through taxes has no idea about, like my story about the fraternity seal. To the outside world, the seal meant nothing. But to the fraternity brothers, it was everything; it represented their secret fears glazed over by symbols and rules only they knew about, which gave them the illusion of security in a scary world. And that is the key to beating such groups. If they were secure people, they wouldn’t seek group membership. But they do because they aren’t powerful people. They depend on numbers to hide their timidity as individuals. Once that is known and exploited, they fall apart quickly. Just as the scam of the high priest predicting an eclipse. If other members of the society understand how to read star alignments and know the cause of eclipses, the phony power of the high priest will lose all its influence. Because the power is based on ignorance and group association to maintain that illusion, but once that curtain falls, the power of the secret society is gone, which is where we find ourselves in the modern world. Many high priests are making their livings off secret society membership to rules only they know about. But the public isn’t as ignorant as they once were, because of the vast amounts of available shared information. And because of that and the need for independence in people who are not timid, the powers that have ruled the world in secrecy are desperately vulnerable and not nearly as scary as they once were.

It’s More Like the Great Mistake, Rather than the Great Reset: My Review of Glenn Beck’s new book ‘Dark Future’

Of course, Glenn Beck’s new book Dark Future is great. Most of Beck’s books have been over the years as they speak to people about scary things that are going on in politics, and he has been kind of a Paul Revere consistently over a long period of time, and the previous book in this series, The Great Reset, did an excellent job of alarming people to the dangers of ESG. Before that book came out, few people understood what ESG was, Modern Monetary Theory, or even who Klaus Schwab was from the world economic forum. Dark Future continues the dive into the efforts of the World Economic Forum and swims deeper into The Great Narrative, which explores the liberal radicalism behind advisors to the World Economic Forum, such as Yuval Harari. The book came out on Tuesday, July 11th, and I grabbed a copy and read it over the next two nights. It was a fast and easy read; it’s a bigger book than The Great Reset, as there is even more to say a few years into the greatest attack against mankind that has ever been attempted by a malicious group, which was The Great Reset launched behind Covid, which should be viewed as a military attack against our country more than anything else. But there was a central theme that kept coming up to me as I was reading that is paralyzing a lot of other people when it comes to discussing the weakness of the World Economic Forum’s position. And as a result, it felt like Beck’s new book was about six months too old because much more has been revealed that’s happening in the world since before he first started writing.

The Great Mistake is more like it, the problem behind everything they have been doing with The Great Reset.  They believe in technology too much and hope it will do more than possible.  Technology is the new god of Yuval Harari, Klaus Schwab, and the attackers from the World Economic Forum like Bill Gates.  Yes, the scary stuff talked about in Dark Future are all things that they truly want to do.  But their big mistake is that they did not understand the nature of work, just as Karl Marx, their mentor, never had figured it out.  They confused monitoring work, which is what computers largely do, to performing work.   That was the big problem during Covid with all the dumb work-from-home policies.  The members of The Administrative State, who serve the Deep State, assumed that people sitting at computers all day meant that work was happening.  And that they could easily control that work as the central means of controlling production if they could only get everyone onto Microsoft Teams to perform their meetings from their homes.  Pants weren’t required in those meetings, and the effort turned out to be a diabolical disaster, just as most things coming from the World Economic Forum will prove to be over the coming years because as geeks, losers, and social misfits themselves who attempt to hide their social awkwardness from the public through monied assets, their lack of understanding about human nature has been their downfall.  Just as Karl Marx wanted to control the means of production through a centralized authority, that is the fantasy of the World Economic Forum aggressors in using technology they control to take over the means of production.  It is a big Marxist plot that was doomed from the beginning because they didn’t understand the nature of what work was.    

Work is still about making things, where hands onto creation is still the important ingredient.  And this hope by the Desecrators of Davos, as I call them, the people who want to be “elites” in our culture through some long-dead aristocratic order, is that through Modern Monetary Theory, the printing of fake money to represent a fake value which can then buy up everyone’s property, all their efforts, and all their labor was somehow going to fill the void created by the real need of economic value.  Such as the small vendor who labors at a craft that other people want, so they make the goods with their hands and sell them at a market somewhere, and people buy it because they like it.  This kind of social behavior is a mystery to the geeks at the World Economic Forum because they always misplaced the value of work in technology rather than understanding that technology would only ever serve the human imagination for expanded economies to make more things that humans want to consume.  That is the market value and the real key to economic input.  Work is produced to sustain human needs as created by humans for human purposes.  A.I. might help support those needs or expand a 19 trillion-dollar economy made with only 300 million people into a higher value.  But to replace that value with technology and force all people into the background while the new gods of A.I. rule the world is a fantasy missing a few screws. 

I’ve watched all the Davos events over the years and listened carefully to all the interviews they’ve provided over a long time.  And the constant theme from them is one that I have seen professionally at all levels of society.  They have been suckered by the promises of technology that it might cover up the skills in life that they don’t have, the ability to understand human beings and the work that is generated by their existence.  Because they are psychologically awkward in public and lack many of the social traits that might make them appear to the human race as “human,” they have built this false assumption around a philosophy of hatred of the human race and sold it as a fact.  When really, it comes down to that girl who turned them down for a dance in the 8th grade, and now they want to rule the world to punish her and those like her.  Now that they are rich and famous, they can get anybody they want, so their trust in technology is along those lines.  That is certainly the case with people like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg.  These aren’t ordinary people happy and healthy; they are deranged lunatics who have been given a lot of money for the software applications that might make other socially awkward people, like Klaus Schwab, more powerful than they otherwise are if only the world were run by Terminators from the famous film franchise by Jim Cameron.  A lot of this weakness by the World Economic Forum has been exposed over the last several months as more people are waking up to what really happened with Covid and who was behind it.  There is a populist movement of anger and revenge brewing in America over these characters that haven’t yet found their way into Glenn Beck’s books.  I think even a year from now, Dark Future will continue to wake people up to these things.  There is a lot of danger out there, but the characters committing it are much more exposed than I think Glenn Beck thought they would be before publishing this new book.  Things are moving rapidly, and the World Economic Forum’s assumptions about technology have shown just how flimsy their plans have always been.  And the exposure rate is something they will not survive, which is a great thing.  But there is still a long way to go, and books like Dark Future will undoubtedly show people where we are going and why we need to get there.  But this story will not end the way the World Economic Forum thought it would.  It won’t be good for them.

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

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

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

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

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

The Real Tim Ballard: Is it all just a CIA case of misdirection

It is lazy to just mindlessly trust anything, especially authority figures, and I was wondering while watching the new very good movie, The Sound of Freedom, how the real-life Tim Ballard did it, blending in with the cartels to act like one of them so that trust could be earned to break open the pedophile rings of modern slavery that are so much a modern problem.  You’re hanging around drug dealers and the scum of the earth, and you are trying to win them over.  There would be no way to pull it off being straight as an arrow; otherwise, they would never trust you.  You’d have to show an interest in kids and pretend to be attracted to them, which Tim Ballard had to do at the beginning of the film when he was trying to get into the mind of a significant pedophile consumer.  The movie lightly touched on that kind of life and focused excessively on the Christian side of reality.  It purposely made Tim Ballard into a hero and glorified his efforts almost to the point of a John Wayne movie.  I personally enjoyed the results.  I wanted to see a hero.  I wanted to see someone who was so firm in their convictions that it could make the tough subject matter of the movie go down easier.  But I’ll have to admit; I had doubts that Tim Ballard’s life was so heroic.  He’s likely had to see and do many things that are very embarrassing to gain the trust of the world’s scum bags.  And I’m sure those things didn’t feel very heroic to him.  But would we ever catch any of these people if he didn’t do those things? 

I gave Sound of Freedom a great review; I think it was a top-notch movie, and it’s worth seeing, for the subject matter was very serious.  But I’m also proud of many people who have let me know that there is a serious possibility that this entire movie has been a CIA operation to attempt to restore their tarnished brand with the targeted religious right.  And it would be a common trick by those types of intelligence agencies to hide much more serious crimes behind misdirection efforts.  After all, the criminals in Sound of Freedom are nobody, dime-a-dozen scum bags from Columbia and Mexico.  Nobody will miss them if they are arrested and thrown in jail forever or killed in a gun fight upon arrest.  The sex trafficking of children would continue, and life would continue as we know it.  And that was the entire point of the Tim Ballard true story, to show how deep undercover and into the danger zone he was willing to go to save a couple of kids from that terrible life.  But people have been quick to point out that the money trail does trace back to Clinton supporters and that when the CIA asked Tim Ballard to become part of Homeland Security to take on this human trafficking role because he was a person of faith and they felt that would give him a lifeline out, and back to reality without falling apart, its entirely possible this is the kind of chess game they had in mind all along.  That the story Sound of Freedom would give the religious right some red meat and hope it appeases them and makes them go back to sleep.  Because the actual crimes were in the Beltway among the rich and famous.  The Hollywood culture that likes to consume adrenochrome for its pursuits of immortal life, their own Epic of Gilgamesh in Beverly Hills.

In that regard, The Sound of Freedom played it very safe.  The bad guys were terrible, and everyone could agree on who they were.  And the entire movie was about chasing down a few of those types of people to the ends of the earth.  But it didn’t deal with John Podesta’s Pizzagate controversy and the high-end user debacles of Epstein Island that are undoubtedly major problems in the news, and to what role the CIA plays in feeding this criminal network, just as they have been caught doing with the illegal drug network.  The cartels have risen to fill a market need.  So why is there a market need?  Sound of Freedom points out the problem in a way that essentially says, “hey, look over there, at those bad people deep in the rebel-held territory of Columbia.  But don’t look at the safe house in Washington D.C. that is feeding these kids to consumers in Chevy Chase, Maryland, while dad sneaks away from the home, telling the family he’s working late.  But what he’s really trying to do is have sex with kids hoping to psychologically turn back the clock before he has made a bunch of unforgivable mistakes in life.”  And then how do intelligence agencies and corporations use such compromised people to gain power in the world through extortion?  Some huge questions in Sound of Freedom are deliberately pushed off to the side for narrative convenience.  If the movie did tackle those topics, it would likely be very depressing, and it would be hard to justify the price of a ticket. 

I personally think the CIA uses people like Tim for just these kinds of purposes.  And the role that Angel Studios plays in the distribution of this movie I think is sincere.  I love The Chosen and think the family who set up that studio are good people trying to do good things for all the right reasons.  But are they all being used to contain the message of child trafficking to acceptable limits determined by the CIA?  Well, probably.  This is a story that props up government efforts against sex trafficking and makes you want to cheer on the good guys punishing the bad guys.  But it’s pretty safe in the stereotypes.  The CIA has no problem throwing a few lowlifes under the bus for their own preservation.  And I’m glad people are talking about the Sound of Freedom in such an “awake” way.  It’s good to be skeptical.  And it’s good to question Tim Ballard’s and his wife’s integrity.  I want to believe there are people like him in the world and that we aren’t all being played for suckers.  But experience says that such people don’t exist.  Either way, The Sound of Freedom is a movie worth telling to an audience that needs to hear it.  But trust in government and government workers in Homeland Security and the CIA is a bridge too far.  There is a lot more evil going on in the world besides the terrible circumstances of this movie.  And when the CIA starts standing for good in the hard cases and busting the rich and famous on moral grounds of right and wrong, we can have a different conversation.  But as of now, we must scrutinize everyone because institutionalism tends to corrupt everything it touches, even the good people who work within it with an “ends justify the means” mentality.  Playing nice with the bad guys usually means doing bad things too.  And that’s not something to celebrate.  It’s something to punish.
