What Was The Point of the P Diddy Trial: Hiding a pornographic society in plain sight

The purpose of the P Diddy trial was not to pursue justice; it was to frustrate future prosecutors into case law that would make it so more sex trafficking cases cannot be brought to trial.  The graphic testimony shown all over the world in such bizarre ways was meant to normalize the conduct, not to put Sean Diddy Combs in jail as one of the most popular music moguls in Hollywood.  His lifestyle, as overly sexualized as it was, was complete with excessively pornographic freak-off parties of multiple sex partner actions that were as bad as it could get.  As this trial came to an end with P Diddy being found guilty on the utilization of prostitution charges, and not the more serious charges of sex trafficking under RICO statutes, a lot of people are upset that the Trump administration has not released and thrown in jail the participants of Epstein Island and the client list that we were all told there was, only for Kash Patel to come out and say that there was nothing there.  People are getting tired of not getting justice for these bizarre sex practices that have behind them elements of mass collectivism that leads to political activity centering on socialism and communism, the desecration of individuals and the sacrifice of the human temple to the malevolent joy of a spirit world that wants to deface the human race for its strategic ambitions.  The problem is, these sex freak-offs are not unusual to P Diddy, but most people want to participate in them in some way.  It’s just that Diddy had the means to do it, financially.  And ultimately, the way that Jim Comey’s daughter prosecuted the case kept many of the other people who attended Diddy’s parties a secret.  As the trial unfolded, we were warmed to the idea that Diddy is just one of many, and his lifestyle is just the tip of the iceberg. 

There is no way that the prosecution didn’t know that Cassie Ventura wasn’t a willing participant in the P Diddy freak-offs as his long-time girlfriend.  As a pregnant woman, she might have regretted some of what she did while in her relationship with Diddy, but as the testimony came forward, we are dealing with people with severe sex addictions and pornographic obsessions that are the type of people you see on the red carpet at celebrity events.  There was a voyeurism to the trial that Emily Johnson, Maurene Comey and Christy Slavik, the U.S. Attorneys from the Southern District of New York wanted the public to see not for the reasons of prosecution, but to signal that it is pointless to prosecute cases like this because all the participants were willing, and in this highly pornographic world, the standard of ethical behavior has entirely fallen over the edge.  And we are left with a world that cannot make any moral judgements on the behavior, because they either want to be doing the same thing in their private lives, or they are doing it. I know quite a few prosecutors so I have a pretty good understanding of how they form a case, and from that point of view, these federal prosecutors were not trying to throw Diddy in jail for his destructive pornographic lifestyle, but were trying to show what a waste of money it all was and how pointless.  It’s not that the utilization of sex workers to satisfy pornographic fantasies isn’t against the law, but what does it cost to throw those people in jail, and does any prosecutor out there want a loss on their record?  Because prosecutors prefer not to take cases to court where they might lose.  They want to build their careers with wins, not losses.  And many might say that people like P Diddy should be in jail for what he did and be punished with the death penalty.  In truth, most of the people judging the circumstances want to do the same things in their lives, so prosecutors aren’t going to sign up for a loss that nobody cares about. 

All through the trial, I kept thinking of the Lakota school superintendent a few years ago who got caught trafficking his wife on Craigslist while they were out of town attending music concerts.  I got to know her and her new husband, and she expressed a lot of regret for allowing herself to be in that kind of life.  In the context of a healthy relationship, only then do they see it in the rearview mirror, as with Cassy, who, as a young woman in Hollywood, tried to please her man by doing anything to get the work and attention she craved.  But then you end up with a husband, or serious boyfriend who has a serious porn addiction and wants to live out those events in real life and things fly off the rails quickly, because he had an important job in a large school district that is supposed to be teaching kids how to live good lives.  People were appalled to discover the kind of private life he led as a public figure.  The problem with that case was that too many people were doing the same thing, or they were thinking about doing the same thing, so they lost their moral judgment, and that has always been the intention to make pornography so readily available on the government-provided internet.  There is a whole mass of ritualistic components to it that could fill volumes of books.  However, for this topic, we must study its impact on the human race and how it emerges in mass society, as seen in the Sean Diddy Combs trial.

In the wake of the Diddy trial, for which he was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, but acquitted on three more serious charges of racketeering and conspiracy, trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion.  There is a greater evil at work here, including the DEI hires as prosecutors, knowing that the Racketeer Influenced and corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) would fall apart once it was realized that many of the participants did so on their own, they volunteered, and that the case would fall apart as it was presented.  If the prosecutors didn’t know that would happen, then the Federal government purposely put female prosecutors in place to fail, allowing for the continued social standards. The entire trial seemed to be hiding something much worse. People have been saying, ‘What about Jay-Z and Tom Hanks’ as there are lots of rumors that surround people doing far worse than what P. Diddy was doing?  And that the federal prosecutors raided him to make an example out of his life, to draw cover fire from much worse cases.  Sometimes, the way to hide something is to put it on full display, so people overload on the information and, in the end, shrug their shoulders and talk about what a waste of money it all was.  Because most of the people watching the trial are thinking about doing the same things that Diddy did, to live out their porn fantasies allowing for the spread and continuation of those lifestyles, instead of the eradication of them.  And ultimately, that appears to be the purpose of the entire case: to deter future prosecutors from making such judgments, so that the spread of evil can continue to erode the human race in ways more destructive than many other crimes.  And to confront that, people have to face themselves in ways they aren’t quite ready.

What Zohran Mamdani Means in New York: Democrats were always open socialists, communists, and Marxists

The victimization role that Zohran Mamdani is trying to utilize against President Trump isn’t going to work.  I know many people are worried about Mamdani and that he is a sign of things to come, and he is.  But not in the way that people fear.  Zohran Kwame Mamdani is an American politician born on October 18, 1991, in Kampala, Uganda. He is a member of the New York State Assembly, representing the 36th district in Queens since 2021. He is a Democratic Socialist and a member of the Democratic Party. Mamdani won the Democratic nomination for mayor of New York City in the 2025 primary, defeating former Governor Andrew Cuomo. If elected, he would be the city’s first Muslim and Indian American mayor.  Trump is right to discuss arresting and deporting communists.  America has gone to war to fight communism, and when political people try to infuse communism into our political structure, they deserve the ridicule that they get.  Trump has no obligation to play nice with socialism and communism.  Mamdani is a Democrat who does not shy away from the socialist label, as most do, because he is making a move that Bernie Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez have paved the way for.  I’ve been talking about it for a long time. The communists, Marxists, and socialists in America reside behind the disguise of the Democrat Party, and it is built into their policy-making.  So knowing that, we have no obligation to play nice with them.  Democrats are not equal at the table in a capitalist country if socialism is what they are really about, which it is and always has been.  We cannot discuss with Democrats if that is what they are.  Those ideologies are just too far apart, and Trump is right to indicate playing rough with them.

I’m not surprised that Mamdani won a primary election.  I’m not sure he wins in the general election.  There are a lot of people in New York City who have considered themselves capitalists, but have adopted Democrat ideas to prove to their leftist friends that they are not mean people.  That argument is so “pre-Trump,” and it’s not going to work now for Mamdani.  The politics of meanness is over; it took our country to a place we didn’t want to go, and that fever broke during the summer of 2024 with that assassination attempt against Trump, and he stood up and pumped his fist in the air, declaring we should all fight.  Before that, there were many people, perhaps most people, who loved capitalism, but they adopted elements of socialism to prove to left-leaning political types that they were not what they were being called.  Name-calling was a political tactic employed by the Democrat Party as it evolved into power.  And as long as it worked, they were going to keep doing it.  Mamdoni thinks that he is going to run a victimization campaign and that people will respond to him because they feel sorry for him.  And that’s not how all this is going to emerge.  Socialism is not going to make an open takeover of our political system.  Now that people are forced to see the Democrat Party for what it is, they will reject those political candidates.  And they won’t be able to win just because they are people of color, or that they are Muslim, or that they are nice-looking kids who can make TikTok videos.  Victimization politics have given us many miserable politicians, and we have learned a hard lesson that the Trump administration is giving us relief from.  And now that people know what they are picking, Democrats are going to get much different results than they have had in the past.

It’s not that people accepted Marxists, socialists, and communists.  But people did not like President Obama and his socialist behavior, sold to us by his skin color.  The kind of world that we have did not make people feel good.  That wasn’t a platform for success for Bernie Sanders, Cortez, and Mamdani to utilize in the future.  Instead, the same kind of Marxists are always there, but the Democrats lost their cover story.  So it’s much harder for them now.  Regionally, in places like New York, where high-density populations typically vote for Democrat ideas, these socialist candidates can perform well.  However, in general populations across the rest of the country, they won’t do well at all because people are no longer voting out of guilt.  Trump has shown people that they can vote for their self-interest and get much better results than voting for someone because they are Muslim.  Or a person of color.  Those are trends that are going out with the tide, not coming in.  And everything that Mamdani is saying assumes that the victimization politics is the wave of the future.  And that’s just not the case.  It is not advisable to base your political platform on the ability to win a vote simply because people feel sorry for you.  You want people to vote for you because you make them feel good about themselves.  And that is what Trump has unlocked in politics: the ability to vote for candidates because they want to achieve a better standard of living and solve real problems.  Not because they feel guilty about slavery or economic inequality.  And in the end, in New York, it’s a capitalist town that has had an identity crisis, finding more confidence in itself with Trump in the White House. 

Keep in mind that we have been teaching kids socialism in public schools for more than three decades now, so people have wide-ranging feelings on the topic.  What a teacher’s union-controlled socialist sentiment has taught them does not represent their instincts toward self-interest.  I am often stunned by how uninformed people can be, not because they are unintelligent. Still, when you talk to them, you get to hear such contrasts in their behavior that the totality of their utterances evolves into substandard assumptions. They don’t know what they think about anything, nor do they have the confidence to articulate their thoughts publicly, because they have been taught in school to suppress their opinions.  Not to express them, but to advance socialist enterprises in America.  But for anybody who wants a house, or a car, or a family, socialism is the enemy to those things, and people have a natural revulsion to anything that might prevent happiness along those lines.  So, even if they are taught socialism, their instincts often run counter to it. In America, where people have a perpetual choice, they will not choose the limits of Marxism and its umbrella political ideas, such as socialism and communism.  They have picked Trump once the peer pressure was cast away, and they were alone in the voting booth.  And that is how it will be in New York as well as the rest of the country.  The trend is not moving toward socialism, but rather away from it, as we consider that the schools have failed us.  And we aren’t happy about it.  And Zohran Mamdani might be good at TikTok videos that all but the most naive suckers enjoy. Still, when it comes to economic policy, people have learned many hard lessons from the mistakes of the Obama administration. They don’t want them in the future of politics, so while some might be shocked that a socialist beat a mainstreamer in a primary election, they shouldn’t be, because socialism is where the Democrat Party is.  But it’s not where the rest of the country is.  Republicans are poised to win by even larger margins because people are finally feeling free to express themselves more openly, and that doesn’t do well for politicians like Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani.

Lakota Wants A Half A Billion Dollar Tax Increase: All the schools they want to destroy, and rebuild with wasted money–VOTE HELL NO!

This is what you get when you have liberals on a school board. Lakota Schools has decided to put two levies on the ballot in November, totaling half a billion dollars, which will cost most taxpayers at least $465.5 in property taxes.  They are stating that the combined $4.99 million bond issue will have a $0.95 million permanent improvement tax added to it, which will cost around $93.10 per $100,000 of home evaluation, providing $ 506.40 million to be repaid over 37 years.  And all that sounds wonderful until you realize that we’ve heard this all before, such as when the Liberty Junior building was proposed and built back in 1980, and is scheduled as one of the ten schools they want to demolish with this tax increase.  New school buildings can’t hide the fact that the people teaching in them and running them have no idea what they are doing, and that radical teacher union values are what are being taught to these generations of kids.  And, as with these school levies, which have been a while since we’ve had one at Lakota, I will be voting not just ‘no,’ but a resounding ‘hell no’ on this ridiculous proposal.  What it essentially comes down to is a bunch of liberal women on a school board who believe that new shoes worn to a social occasion can make lipstick on a swine look better.  Hey, nobody is looking at your shoes, if you’ve let yourself go, and all these school board members are just that type, new clothes can’t hide what disasters they are to social considerations.  And I say four ladies because Doug Horton acts like one of them, and given the way these big progressive organizations hire people like him, I would not be surprised to learn that he puts she/her as his listed pronouns.  This Lakota school board is a very progressive group, and they all believe that cosmetics can hide the fundamental flaws of the education system in general.

These are the schools Lakota is planning to tear down

They believe that this is the time to do this; they have wanted to for a long time, and we have held it off in our community by having at least a reasonable stopgap on the school board.  For the last couple of years, we (conservatives) had a three-to-two majority.  But the way that everyone behaved, the radical leftists in the background, there was no way to keep conservative members on the board.  When Darbi Boddy was no longer there, any hope of reform on spending vanished.  The idea that the Republican Party could at least appease the radicals with some playing nice was a fantasy.  Before they ran Darbi off, they ran off other conservatives with just as much viciousness.  I determined several years ago that the Lakota school board was beyond hope, and the best course of action was to let them reveal themselves to the community as they are, which is precisely what they are doing.  Talk about bad judgment, the people suggesting that new school buildings will solve their education problems of teaching students are the same people who are well known to strip on table tops at education conventions and end up passed out without their clothes in the bathroom.  So, when I say that for these very pretentious people, who look like people who have let themselves go, and believe that a new outfit worn to a social occasion will keep people from seeing what they are, that is the logic behind this ridiculous half a billion dollar monstrosity.  If it weren’t so outrageously absurd, we might laugh at it, but they are serious. 

Republicans played nice with these radical people as long as they could, and that has largely kept a tax increase off the ballot since 2012.  Declining enrollment has kept the budget afloat, and the wages reflect it, with a majority of the administrators and many of the Lakota teachers earning well into the six figures these days.  Their operating budget is approximately a quarter of a billion dollars, so these failing schools are a real drain on our community.  They are centers of government progressive imposition that are trending out of our society.  These four school board members have been advocates for same sex bathrooms and Critical Race Theory.  They ran off Darbi, who was doing a good job of pointing out those big problems, and a lot of people didn’t like that she wouldn’t play nice to keep Lakota’s board from going completely liberal, as it is now.  However, in the process, they were dragging our community into the gutter, and we needed to take a stand at some point. This levy is it.  I think it’s a 58% to 42% issue, with the majority aligning with the conservative nature of Butler County.  They believe that enough liberal-minded people have moved in from other areas to shift the vote total to something more even, with 50% for them and 49.9% against tax increases.  I don’t think so; I think they live in a social bubble and believe that Lakota residents are all at Cooper’s Hawk at Liberty Center, sipping wine with their pinkies out.  I think the real voters are actually watching the latest Trump speech and are waiting for Vivek Ramaswamy to be governor and to bring School Choice to Ohio on a mass level.  And to create a merit-based teaching system.  Never forget that School Choice was in the Big Beautiful Bill, as I had told everyone it would be.  Lakota is way behind the times, and it shows with this ridiculous levy initiative. 

I remember when Liberty Junior was proposed as the latest technology-driven school back in 1980, when it was built.  It was one of the first schools in the area to have air conditioning.  While that was 45 years ago, it’s still a nice school and could easily be used in a competitive school environment where Lakota will have to compete with other districts for students to attend, as the dollars will not be allocated to the school, but to the child.  By the time these people build the new schools after tearing down the old ones, education in America is likely to change dramatically under Trump’s administration, and with Vivek Ramaswamy as governor of Ohio.  And regarding Liberty Junior, many people attended that school, but nobody exceptional emerged from all that social investment.  It produced average people who grew up to be average, and I think Butler County wants more than that for the next generation.  That’s why they supported Trump.  And that’s why a lot more people these days are saying what I have been saying about education for decades, that government schools don’t do a very good job.  And we don’t like them leeching off our property taxes to instill social values in our kids that we don’t like.  And the people making these decisions aren’t very good.  They live their personal lives as disasters who try to hide that from the public, like an ugly person wearing new shoes to a party.  You can have a whole closet full of new shoes, and those people will never look as good in them as a runway model.  New schools won’t make the ugliness of a failed union model go away, and the bad people who support that structure, as their social conduct well testifies, can’t hide it from the world with more money wasted.  And yes, the cost to the average homeowner in Liberty Township will be $ 465.50 because most homes are valued at $ 500,000.  A little detail that Michael Clark at the Journal News, Julie Shaffer’s lapdog for many years, ignores when he says that the value of a house is still at the 100K range.  You can’t have a doghouse in Liberty Township or West Chester these days for $100,000.  This is an expensive levy for a failing school system, created by failed people who are trying to hide their horrible lives behind innocent children with new and shiny schools, hoping to tear down the mistakes of the past with bricks and mortar that is a lot easier than replacing the garbage that they are. You can’t put lipstick on a swine and expect it not to be a pig, which is precisely what Lakota schools hopes to do with this massive tax increase, unleashed by their tone-deaf grasp on reality.

And just for an update on what former Lakota School Board member Darbi Boddy is doing these days.  Well, I would say she is doing better work for the future than wasting it on that ridiculous school board that is run by the teachers’ union of Lakota, and all their outrageous costs and social desires.  Darbi has been at Mar-a-Lago spending time, doing important things, that will be revealed in this change state for education.  She is also associating with a very good person, Sam Sarbo in promoting educational freedom and school choice.  I would say that Darbi will play a very important role in the future education of Ohio, in a much more potent role than what she ever could have done on the Lakota school board. And very soon, the Lakota board will wish they hadn’t ran off their cover story and exposed themselves in the way they will experience with this school levy.  We tried to warn them.

Dumb, Lazy, Losers, Hide in Large Organizations: What is being exposed in the world by Trump

There is a scientific explanation for what is happening in the world, and this has been brewing in the background for some time.  It’s easy to see in all large organizations, and ultimately, it’s a massive failure provoked by a progressive strategy that was unleashed upon the world and exposed dramatically during the artificially created COVID-19 crisis of 2020.   But the way that President Trump is dominating on all fronts is not a surprise.  Even in the darkest days of threatening to throw Trump in jail, and the rest of us with him.  I certainly had plenty of maniacal characters plotting my demise and going to great effort to make it so.  But I always said, and people can read all that I’ve said on the subject, and watching my thousands of hours of videos talking about these things, it’s clear that I’ve been predicting exactly what is happening now with great accuracy, even though nobody else in the world even thought to ask the question.  And that the problem is more psychological than political.  The politics of the movement was created to mask the actual psychological problem of collectivism in general, the insecurity that most people feel, but conceal it through organizational effort.  Trump is exposing this global trend that is at the heart of communism in general, and has been the social policy behind the United Nations as a government assumption for how to control mass populations.  You see it in every college and almost every large corporate organization.  The hordes of bureaucrats from the administrative state have not, and will never, be able to replace the valiant efforts of great individuals and their ability to function independently.  This is scary to the majority of people who thought that the philosophies of collectivism would destroy the rules of capitalism, but it was never going to achieve that feat.  And now the world is being forced to wake up and smell the coffee for what it is, causing the world to catch up in ways they were never prepared for.  They should have listened. 

I’m old enough to remember how different it was just a few short years ago.  However, the level of corporate competency has declined significantly over the last decade, to the point where mediocrity is now considered a commendable trait in the typical office environment.  And that is because our education system seduced most people into thinking they could hide their timid natures and fear of social engagement behind a mass corporate structure.  This has always been a problem in large organizations, such as the cubicle culture prevalent in most businesses, where the higher the cubicle walls a person has, the more valuable they are perceived to be to the company.  And if a person has a door to an office that could be closed, they would be considered even more critical to that corporate social structure.  And if you had an office that had a window, you were to be considered very important, and that the rest of the world would assume that you were much more valuable than you actually were, because you could check off those institutional boxes and society would naturally recognize them within the social hierarchy of compliance to peer engagement.  However, I often find that most people in large organizations conceal their inadequacies from the world behind the merit of institutional protection.  That is why there is a perceived arrogance among government workers, because they have functioned under the assumption that the power of the organization would conceal their true lack of worth and skill from the world’s eyes.  If they could check off the boxes that human resource departments valued, they might avoid the criticism of a society that expected them to do something meaningful in their workday. 

Trump is proposing to the world the opposite of that trend, and the world can’t respond because it exposes them at a fundamental level.  Their seduction into institutional environments, where the size of the organization provided cover for their actual lack of skill, and through corporate structure, similar personality types would surround them, meant that ruse could last if only everyone in the world played by the same rules.  And that was the intention. But now that Trump has come along and proposed a merit-based society, and that individual efforts isn’t being penalized these days, but is encouraged and rewarded, financially, and otherwise, the panic that we are beginning to see is something that we should have been dealing with all along, but the promises made to kids leaving high school, and endeavoring through college where socialism was taught to them, did not prepare them for what is happening, a merit based world where the brightest and most brilliant would directly compete with the corporate structure of a communist foundation.  And we see this now falling apart everywhere, the kind of policies that were rushed to the world under Covid, the work from home ideas, the short work weeks, the perpetual out of office email responses that people who think they are essential, project to the world as if they were too important to answer even email.  Because the email recipients were too busy traveling and attending to important matters to do any work, such as attending a wine tasting.  The downside has been that most corporate environments, as well as governments everywhere, are not prepared to compete in a capitalist climate.

I find that employees working for smaller organizations, without the protections of mass employment and large human resource departments, are the most innovative and hungry for out-of-the-box solutions, as opposed to those who crave the safety and security of the herd.  And that same assumption could be applied to countries, where it was believed that America was just one of many countries in the world and that there was nothing special about it.  That allowed countries like France and the Netherlands to believe they could compete and function in the world by taking two months of vacation per year and that they could get rid of their corporate structure within their organizations, getting rid of the concept of a personal office all together, to show their work force that nobody was more important than anybody else.  To maintain the illusion, they used the size of the organization to conceal their ineffectiveness.  However, in truth, most corporate environments are collapsing under their own weight; they can no longer communicate effectively with each other because they still work from home and have their leadership scattered all over the world, having bought into the concept of the global citizen functioning without earned merit.  And they thought that was how it was going to be forever, which, of course, it won’t be.  And isn’t.  And for those who have been raging against that institutional system for a long time, they are enjoying this new world where a plumber has more value in the world than just another corporate social climber who doesn’t do much of anything, and is exposed in a world of competition where performance is measured.  And the belief that a person working in a large organization is better and brighter than those who choose to work in smaller, more nimble structures is being shattered by the truth it reveals.  In a merit-based society, the large organization had the burden of too many employees hiding their lack of worth from the world, which was rotting them from the inside out.  And now, they find themselves grotesquely exposed.

Thank Goodness We Have a Good Supreme Court: Protecting value from a lack of value

I told everyone well in advance how this one was going to go down.  And I knew it especially after recently visiting the Supreme Court shortly after Trump re-entered the White House for his second term.  Trump has mighty executive powers that low-level regional judges cannot stop.  It was a ridiculous suggestion by the legal community even to entertain such a notion.  However, on June 27, 2025, the Supreme Court voted in a 6-3 decision that federal district court judges could not issue nationwide injunctions against the Executive Branch.  Judicial activism by left-wing judges was not equal to that of the elected President of the United States, as they had attempted to establish.  Good on Amy Coney Barrett for writing a majority opinion that argued against the statutory authority of federal courts.  This means that the ruling allows Trump’s executive orders to take effect immediately, forcing opponents to pursue narrower legal challenges, such as in the case of birthright citizenship.  With this ruling, judicial overreach will be reduced, executive orders will be implemented more efficiently, case-by-case challenges will be utilized, not allowing a single injunction from a judge to halt an executive order, statutory limits will be clarified, and a cap will be placed on the politicization of the process.  When a president is elected correctly to do the work of the people who voted for them, radical judges can’t be allowed to slow walk the executive order process to frustrate the results during a short four-year term, which has been the strategy of leftists trying to exploit the system for years.  For a long time, district judges held the illusion that they had more constitutional authority than they actually had, and the Bar Association reinforced that illusion destructively.  Until Trump’s first and second terms, these ideas weren’t tested because most presidents didn’t drift too far outside of their consultant circles.  However, with this ruling, things have changed significantly for the better.

This will allow Trump to resume the needed deportations of around 1 million illegals per year, and the targeted number of 10-15 million over his current term.  The illegal immigration push by the Open Border people, around the world who are wrapped up in all kinds of Marxist schemes fully intended a flood of illegals to permanently change the nature of what America is by overwhelming the system with a Cloward and Piven strategy.  And by keeping them in that illegal status, they could harvest them for illicit votes, and act as a menace to the communities they live in, bringing with them a desperate lawlessness that degrades wherever they settle.  Of course, the proper way to enter the country and benefit from its values is to become a citizen and undergo the process of doing so.  The flood of immigration that we experienced under the Biden years was nothing short of an invasion meant to topple the election system before the next cycle, where people would find out what exactly happened in the 2020 election.  There weren’t enough people in the country at the time to vote for all those Democrats.  And by 2024, they hoped another 10 million illegals might give them a cover story and keep Republicans from taking power back.  But it didn’t work, and when Trump was elected anyway, these activist judges tried to stop the deportation in hopes that they could keep those illegal numbers up until the next election cycle.   But those hopes were destroyed by this Supreme Court ruling.  Borders have to have value, and people need to respect them because an open-border world allows low-value individuals to mix with high-value individuals to the detriment of everyone.  Mexico’s anger at the Trump administration tells the whole story of how they purposely intended to export their broken people into America to rot it from the inside out.

And that is the purpose of a border, a country is just a set of ideas.  When good ideas are protected from bad ideas, with border security, then the preservation of value can occur.  And that is what was under attack, and unfortunately, many of the Bar Association types working in America sought to advance this desecration for their profit.  Mexico has some fascinating history, but it’s a perilous country.  Try driving to Mexico City from the American border in an American car and not get pulled over for a shake down.  And that is the best of it, the cartels openly harass anybody whenever they want.  The cartels run the Mexican government, and they had in mind to do the same thing in America.  Of course, there are many people who want to escape those conditions, and we feel sorry for them.  But when their mess is allowed to make a mess of America, then everyone suffers from the lowered standards, and we can’t allow that to happen.  So to protect our American values, we have to deport people who come into the country illegally, until they swear an oath to live by and defend the values of America.  That process is essential and is commonly understood around the world.  The preservation of successful cultures is an inspiration that the world needs to strive for a better future.  The leftist position politically is to avoid judgments and to mix all values so they can rule over the mess they made.  And that has been at the heart of all the legal challenges to Trump’s executive orders during this second term. 

I’ll repeat it, I love the Supreme Court.  When people ask me about the tie clip I always wear these days, I got it from the Supreme Court.  I love that in American society, on Capitol Hill, we have one of the most intellectual commitments to law and order in the world, with the Supreme Court, the Library of Congress, and the Capitol Building all situated in the same square mile of influence in Washington, D.C.  The rulings don’t always go the way we want them to, but the process, I think, is one of the most wonderful things in the world.  I was able to spend time in the chamber and see the world through the eyes of the Supreme Court members, and I think it is an excellent example for the world to follow.  If you want to be a better country, learn from the United States how to do it.  And instead of trying to flood America with illegal immigration, learn to make whatever country of origin people are fleeing from more like America.  And people would be much happier in the world.  By enforcing a border of values, it prompts other countries to reflect on why they are so terrible that people are always wanting to leave.  You don’t see that same problem in America, where people are flooding our borders to get out.  Everyone in the world is trying to get in, and that is for a good reason.  So, no more. The Supreme Court did what it was supposed to do: protect value through law and order.  The opponents want to destroy America with chaos and lawlessness.  And because that temptation is always in the human mind, we need a good Supreme Court.  And thank goodness we have one.

Vivek Ramaswamy’s Ohio Campaign for Governor is all About Family First: Getting rid of red tape in Liberty Township

Vivek Ramaswamy discussing taking the red tape out of a red state!

It was good to see Vivek Ramaswamy again.  Mark and Leslie Williams had a nice, private event for him to talk about the campaign status and the going-forward steps and probably the best thing I have heard in politics so far was what Vivek said about Ohio, that it was a deep red state, but that it would not be the state of red tape.  That his run for governor was committed to restoring Ohio to the nation’s greatest status in wealth generation among all the states.  And given his understanding of things and personality, I think it is very much possible.  The moment I found out that he was running for governor, I was excited about it.  And since he launched his campaign just a few months ago, he has turned his efforts into a nice running machine that will cascade into many exciting opportunities that many have never thought possible.  Vivek Ramaswamy understands, and as I have watched these GOP events develop over the years, there was something very different going on that was exciting —a festivity to it that was not politics as usual.  But before we get into all that, I have to say, Mark and Leslie did a great job with the event, including the fantastic food table set up with finger foods that they had in the middle of the gathering space, established for this meet and greet for Vivek.  I took a picture of what was left of it after a few hours, but it was quite something to see.  All the little things in the event were done with just a little extra flair that makes spending time with people on a Saturday night of political talk more enjoyable.  And once Vivek gave his speech, took pictures with people, and had to get on to the next thing, people stayed around talking and catching up because they didn’t want to leave such a wonderful occasion.

When this started it was quite an exhibition. It was a lot of food!

I was one of them, I was happy to see so many people I like to talk to all in the same place.  I enjoyed seeing most of Nancy Nix’s family there, mom, sister, aunts, grandchildren, her husband Bob, we all like each other naturally, and it was nice to catch up under those conditions.  Everyone knows I love Nancy Nix; she is one of the best for a reason, and a lot of it is that she has a nice and loving family, which is evident to everyone who can see.  I had just spent time with one of my favorite trustees, Todd Minniear, a few nights before.  With his wife Jamie, they are a couple of my absolute favorite people and they were there.  Thomas Hall and his family were there too.  His mom and dad are good, solid people, and if you haven’t noticed, there is a pattern to my accolades.  I often judge the value of people by the kind of families they come from and are creating for themselves, and for me, it was a great evening because I had a break from the broken dysfunction that often comes with associating with a lot of people from diverse backgrounds and social structures.  Here, almost everyone shared the same strong family values that I greatly appreciate, making it a great evening for me.  My wife doesn’t always get to come to all these events.  When we launched the campaign event for Vivek a few months prior, she had to miss it due to other family commitments that we had.  However, this time we were able to coordinate things in a way that allowed her to attend, and she enjoyed herself as well.

As usual, I always enjoy seeing George and Debbie Lang when they are in a place where things go as well as the Williams event allowed.  Where the accommodations are set up thoughtfully, so that people can easily discuss essential political matters.  As a critical Senator in Ohio, everyone wants to talk to George, so my time with him is often spent with me looming in the background to discuss as many important things as possible.  However, in a large group like that, it’s not easy to convey everything in brief statements, as time may not allow.  But when people wonder why I like George and Debbie so much, it’s that core value system again. They are a great family that really loves each other, and I value their sincerity, both with each other and with the world around them.  When people wonder why George Lang is good at his job, a common theme among those who have come out in early support of Vivek Ramaswamy for Governor of Ohio is that they see the state in the same way they see their families, with love and care.  And those are their primary political motivations.  No matter what personal success they have had in life, and I know that is the case with Mark and Leslie Williams too, who hosted the event, they want to put that same effort into making Ohio the top state in the country, and the world, for people to live in and raise good families.  If you are a family-first kind of person, knowing these kinds of people makes sense.  And I enjoyed myself for all those reasons.  One of the primary values that everyone I knew shared at this event was a love of family, and they all did just a little bit more than average to have good families. 

I enjoyed catching up with Darbi Boddy.  People have been wondering about her since her time as a Lakota school board member concluded in legal gymnastics.  People have asked me a lot why I like Darbi so much.  She is a good mom who talks to God frequently.  And since she left the Lakota school board, she has been hanging out with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago.  My wife noticed the pin she was wearing, and it was the same one that she had.  Let me say, Darbi is doing some great things that will manifest into goodness in a few years.  She is more deeply engaged in politics than ever, and I am very happy and proud of her for all that she has accomplished.  A common theme I have been discussing is that many people are unaware of Darby: she loves her family, and her involvement in politics is aimed at helping more families emerge in the world. I have a lot of respect for her hard work in this regard.  I like her kids, and I like her husband.  I want to see people like that succeed in the world.  I also enjoyed catching up with Bob Hutsenpiller.  We have a long history together. Similarly, he and his wife have been together for a long time, and his business has been a family affair throughout his long career.  And he’s just a good person trying to make things just a bit better in the world.  My joke with Bob is that he usually comes to these political events with work shoes because he is always on construction sites and has worked hard all the years I have known him.  And I would say that was the common theme among all the people I mentioned, and many more that there isn’t enough time to discuss.  But Vivek Ramaswamy makes it easy, just as President Trump has; these are all people who value family, and they are treating their state and country with the same love they pour into their families.  And it shows.  I met Vivek’s parents and got to know his wife at the event we had at CTL Aerospace, and I was happy that he recognized me out of all the people he has spoken to over the last several months.  But Vivek loves his kids.  He loves his wife.  He loves his parents.  And anyone who is that caring about the people in their life can show the same love to the state they are running.   And for me, that’s why I care so much about the people who were at that event.  The common theme was family first, even if nobody explicitly stated it.  You won’t catch any of the people I mentioned in some sex scandal where they are cheating on their spouses for power and prestige.  In most cases, everyone at that Vivek event already had power and prestige.  But what they were fighting for was something much more important: the power of family and the values that come from it, and carrying that attention over into political office, where it can genuinely make a significant impact.  And for me, being around such people is the best evening I could hope for.  I’m very much looking forward to Vivek Ramaswamy being the governor of Ohio.  That will be a good day!

Being Optimistic: How things work in the fifth dimension

I don’t think I need to explain it, but it has come up frequently lately.  I have been in several situations recently that are pretty diabolical and soul-crushing, but those around me have considered my attitude toward these situations to be overly optimistic.  Even to the point of being disingenuous, and not in step with reality.  And on a tough meeting full of really hostile people recently, once the room cleared and this person was alone with me, they said to me, “You could talk the pants off a nun.”  I wasn’t sure of the context of that comment, but as I looked at the person, I said, “I doubt many people would want to see a nun without pants.”  And I left it at that.  However, this person did raise an important point, and something I should probably share that is a core part of my personality.  Optimism is a skill, not an illusion, and most people in the world are where they are in life, no matter how bad it is, by their own choices.  The truth about reality is that you get out of it precisely what you are thinking about.  And this is more than just a statement meant to inspire wisdom.  It’s metaphysically true regarding the rules of quantum mechanics, which I have been talking a lot about lately, for good reason. People do, quite literally, choose their reality more than they realize.  And when people want to do bad things to you, the most effective way of doing it is to convince you to choose bad things to happen to you, rather than for people to have things happen to them, as we have all been conditioned to think.  And this is the structure of the fifth dimension. 

We tend to think of only four dimensions —length, width, height, and time —as the reality we all live in.  However, they are now relatively well known regarding string theory at 11 dimensions.  Mathematically, there are infinite opportunities, or otherwise 100, for which we have visibility and approximately 22 conceptually.  However, for this discussion, when we refer to the 5th dimension, we are referring to what we call the spirit world, where we can sometimes have interactions with what we perceive as ghosts and other paranormal phenomena.  I am continually amazed, for instance, by how a cell phone works, or the auto key opener on my car, which allows me to lock my doors even when I don’t have a line of sight to it, thanks to a signal that passes through metal and concrete barriers.  That is because the waves of information are so small that they can pass through the physical structure of what we think of as solid objects.  Many of the other dimensions we are discussing are either extremely small or magnificently large.  So large that we live in a universe, which we think of as infinitely big, that is likely composed of many universes, all coexisting in infinite possibilities.  This is something that the popular cartoon show Rick and Morty has a lot of fun with as an abstract concept, offering numerous opportunities for humor associated with it.  We tend to think of reality as a solid state, when in fact it is just one reality among all possible realities that are happening all at the same time.  And that one of the extraordinary things that occurs in quantum physics is that particles change their behavior depending on who or what observes them.  That indicates that the power of choice and observation has compelling implications on the nature of reality. 

The reality we choose ultimately is the one that we observe, and we eventually make the choice based on our true nature.  We may tell ourselves that we want a healthy relationship with our spouse, for instance, but we often choose in our lives all the wrong elements to make that happen.  We might say the same thing about a job, or any potential for success, even our health.  We are constantly bombarded by various forces that try to influence our choices in life, many of which share a reality with us and may encourage us to buy a new car or take out another credit card.  One of the most challenging jobs I’ve ever had was a sales job where I had to make cold calls at dinnertime and convince people to sign up for a new credit card, when I was the last person they wanted to talk to.  I had to persuade them to do things they wouldn’t have chosen to do on their own.  It’s hard to get people to decide to spend time with you or listen to what you want to do, and to convince them to change their course and do what you think is right.  But that is the basic ingredient in every sales interaction.  And when you get good at it, whether it’s in politics or basket weaving, you get good at getting other people around you to choose through observation the same reality you have in mind.  In this way, mass choice can create a dimensional reality that everyone can share, allowing for a collective experience that people generally agree is reality. 

By being very optimistic about any situation, it’s not an illusion of self-denial about the current condition, but rather establishing in myself the best possible outcome and keeping my mind prepared for that eventuality.  Now when you are dealing with people who choose to have a bad life and are purposely using bad choices to hide conditional realities from even themselves, they might blame external forces for their problems, but the truth of the matter is that they choose the bad things that happen to them, by the laws of the universe and the many others interacting with it, purposely.  We don’t just live as four-dimensional beings, but the thing we call “us” exists in many dimensions, all at the same time.  The physical reality we call our bodies is just a receiver of this ultimate reality for which we mostly are, and of which we call eternal, because it exists beyond the dimension of time.  We are always our present, past, and future, all at the same time, and we make choices in life based on this eternal concept.  So, when people wonder why I am so optimistic all the time, it’s because I choose to be.  Because reality is more than what we can see, it’s what we choose. To choose good things, we must have them right in our minds before an observable action can be taken.  And that is the nature of life in the fifth dimension.  There are infinite choices that can be made that reside there, which directly influence the reality we live in, for which eternity is always present.  And we get the reality we choose.  A story I often tell is the one about how I met my wife.  She was on a date with another guy, and I had to have her.  Why did I have to have her?  Well, I recognized in her an eternal aspect that resided beyond our four-dimensional lives.  So I walked up to her in his car and told her she was going to be my wife.  I chose her as my wife, and I picked the reality where she wanted the same thing, and we ended up being married for over 37 years now.  In the multiverse, undoubtedly, such an engagement would have led to a fight, rejection, and an embarrassing set of circumstances in every conceivable way.  But I chose the reality where it worked out and we have kids and grandchildren and a whole exciting life of wild and perplexing circumstances.  So, when the world is on fire and I remain light-hearted about it and optimistic at every juncture, it’s because I choose to be that way, for the logical reason of choosing success, the way I truly want it in my life, and those who share that life with me.

Re-Elect Todd Minniear for Liberty Township Trustee: The untold story of Ford’s Garage

Many people are unaware of the story, but it’s one of those great examples of how some politicians in the world do good things in the background that nobody knows about, but that greatly enhance people’s lives.  And we’re talking about Todd Minniear, the highly regarded Liberty Township Trustee, who is about to complete his first term and is up for re-election this year, 2025.  When he was first elected, I considered it one of the most fantastic Christmas presents I could have hoped for.  We needed a constitutional conservative in Liberty Township in a position like that because Liberty Township had a significant problem.  It’s always been a great place to live.  I’ve lived in Liberty Township most of my life.  I’ve traveled extensively around the world, and when my wife and I were first married, we tried to live in various places.  But we moved back to Liberty Township many years ago because it simply was the best place to live.  We had been living in Mason, and the school system was so bad back then that we had to homeschool our kids.  Lakota, as a public school, wasn’t much better, but everything else about the community was just so good.  But like all good communities, it’s hard to provide good political leadership because all these special interest groups start making suggestions that are often beyond the wheelhouse of most people’s professions, and they get hoodwinked into making bad decisions.  And that’s what happened with zoning in Liberty Township.  Word got out that it was a great place to live, and everyone wanted to move to the land north of Cincinnati, with its abundant farmland and white picket fences.  So, a lot of property was bought up, and many homes were built, but along the way, very few commercial areas were created to help alleviate the taxation problem. 

So Liberty Township needed a trustee who could say know to the right things, and that is all the Agenda 21 goofy stuff that came from the United Nations sustainability plans that were flowed down through university training and into the minds of the college kids who were being trained to be the next generation land use planners.  And they have been a disaster, because along with all the ridiculous roundabouts, which are an entirely European design that we mindlessly inherited, like a bunch of little brothers appeasing an older brother who picks on us, we adopted all those methods into our community planning, and it has degraded the living experience predictably.  And to stay great, Liberty Township needed to develop a mind of its own, and Todd Minniear has been that kind of trustee.  When you are the best place to live in the world, quite literally, you don’t let yourself get picked on by anybody, especially a bunch of socialist trained community development planners.  The private sector knows a lot more about these things, and competition should sort out the good from the bad, and be allowed to do that.  Recently, under Todd’s leadership, the Trustees in Liberty Township removed the high-density housing requirements from future building projects, which is a significant development.  The news reporting took that move as building fences to the outside world to keep out the poor and disadvantaged.  However, logic suggests that to protect value, you must keep away people who have less of it.  Otherwise, they bring their problems to your doorstep, and that requires value judgments that might hurt the feelings of people who have not made very good decisions in their lives.  To maintain a good community, you need to reward people who make good decisions and keep the bar high, so that those who didn’t aren’t living in the same space.

As I met Todd Minniear at Liberty Center to discuss some of these high-density housing issues, my daughter was with me, and we were talking about Japan and how people we know who have traveled there and have tattoos were ridiculed in some places for having them.  In some cases, businesses will refuse to serve people who have tattoos, because they see it as a detrimental element to social interaction, and they ridicule it in their society.  I had just recently returned from Japan, which is what I wanted to discuss with Todd about Liberty Center.  Japan’s cities are very clean, and their work ethic is excellent.  Even in their downtown areas, they have nice, convenient stores that are open 24/7.  There is a nice one near a hotel I often stay at in Kobe, and I thought something like that would be perfect for the current location at Liberty Center, across the street from Cooper’s Hawk and the new Flats that have been built, where many people are currently living.  To maintain a good community, you must have high standards and hold others accountable for living up to them.  And that is the challenge, because Liberty Township is such a great place to live, but the housing costs are very high, the temptation to bring in more affordable housing, as the land use sustainability plans all address in the same European socialist way, more high density living which allows people who have made bad decisions in their lives and do not have the financial means to move into Liberty Township, to move into an apartment or an attached single family unit. 

One of my favorite places to eat in Liberty Township is the new Ford’s Garage at Liberty Center, where Todd Minniear has a signature hamburger named after him, which I order every time I visit.  In the location where the restaurant was built, Todd was the trustee who said no to an apartment complex design intended for that area when the mall could not find commercial businesses to fill that very valuable square.  There was a lot of complaining at the time, but eventually, Ford’s Garage restaurant moved in, and that solved many of the problems. It was great that the apartments did not get built there, as the restaurant is far more valuable as a land use option.  It does a lot more for the mall than just bringing in more people who don’t pay enough in taxes to accommodate their presence, whereas a business does.  And Liberty Township needs more businesses that bring in more people from a 25-mile radius who spend money in Liberty Township, then go home.  So that the taxpayers in Liberty Township aren’t on the hook for all the infrastructure.  And it’s decisions like those that Todd Minniear has made that have greatly improved Liberty Township and preserved its value, rather than letting mindless land use plans destroy it. These decisions don’t represent what’s good and original about the community—sometimes saying no leads to a better yes eventually.  And that is certainly the case with Ford’s Garage.  There was considerable pressure to approve high-density housing projects and accommodate the influx of investment dollars into the area.  However, by saying no, Todd Minniear was able to inspire a much better ‘yes’ in the future, which is precisely why we want Todd to serve for many more years as a trustee.  He’s been great, and there is room to do a whole lot more with the Millikin interchange project.  But to set a high bar, you have to live up to it, and often, that means saying no to disreputable social elements, to socialist land use plans, and political sentiments that come from other places, and people bring that garbage with them wherever they go.  We need good political leadership to sort it all out, and Todd Minniear has been just the right touch, and we could use a lot more of him in the years to come.

What’s the Difference Between Islam and Mormons: The Book of Mormon Evidence

Considering that we just fought a war over the very topic of Islam, we have to discuss that an absurdity is at the core of all social discourse.  What’s the big difference between Islam and the Bible among the major religions of the world?  The Bible was written by many people over a long period and is corroborated by other documents, such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, to validate that the authors were more than fanciful fiction writers.  On the other hand, the Quran was revealed to Muhammad through the angel Gabriel over 23 years.  So to believe the Quran, we have to accept the premise of its creation and trust that Muhammad wasn’t just another snake oil selling scam artist looking for attention in the world by creating another religion.  In 1823, at the age of 14, Joseph Smith was visited by an angel named Moroni, who revealed the location of some golden plates buried near his home in New York State, near the Finger Lakes.  Then, using Urim and Thummim (of which the nature is unknown) and other seer stones, Smith translated the plates into the Book of Mormon in 1830.  Both of those major religions were founded by individuals who claimed to have been visited by an angel, and we are expected to accept their word completely and trust that what they imparted is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.  We are not supposed to think that the recipients of this information might be con artists looking for attention, or that they weren’t crazy people in their own right.  However, they were chosen by God to convey information to the people of Earth.  Strangely, the same people would point to the religion of Islam and say that we can’t question anything about it, while they would say that the Mormon religion was founded under the premise of a con artist trying to rob Native American people from their inheritance of domestic tranquility, by the Christian rantings of immigrant raiders. 

I have thought that the most logical explanation for the Mormons was that Joseph Smith was a homesick immigrant into America wanting to continue the Bible’s influence into the New World, so they created stories to expand the Biblical narrative, which involves a couple of different migrations from the Holy Land to the American continent taking place many thousands of years ago.  One of the most significant migrations occurred when the prophet Lehi, guided by God, fled Jerusalem around 600 BCE, eventually landing in the Americas, specifically in the area now known as Florida, just to the west of modern-day Tallahassee.  And from there, they formed two tribes, the Nephites and the Lamanites.  Primarily, the Nephites settled in the area of modern-day Ohio, and their presence is evident in the Adena Indians and Hopewell people, as well as in their mound-building cultures, which featured advanced mathematical concepts.  When I first read the Book of Mormon many years ago, I thought of the area they were talking about as being in Central America and even in the Gulf of America when the water levels were lower.  But it’s a fascinating book that I thought could have been the product of a fantastic story of adventure and continued discovery by a people hungry for more Bible stories, in a world that didn’t have much else going on in 1830. However, there has been some excellent research, which I find particularly interesting, especially from a society that seeks to validate a religion by uncovering compelling evidence of its existence.  The more you learn about the mound-building cultures, the more valid the origin story of the Mormon religion reveals itself.  The people at Book of Mormon Evidence.org have a wealth of fascinating material that, according to them, provides evidence of the Mormon migration into North America as a tribe of Israel.  And once here, they mixed with people who were ancient descendants of Atlantis and the Pacific island of Mu, as well as other places. 

There are some rather wild claims, but upon examining the evidence, legitimate questions arise.  And if we apply the same logic as we do to Islam, we have to believe the Book of Mormon just as much as we do the Quran because they were created under the same pretense of assumption.  The only reason we couldn’t believe the Book of Mormon is if we accept that human beings could not travel by boat until Christopher Columbus did so in 1492. Instead, it looks like humans were traveling all over the world in ships many thousands of years ago and that the Columbus missions were built off the maps he used to sail over the horizon of the earth with full knowledge that it was round, and that there was a mysterious land on the horizon that would connect it to a trade route with the east.  Once settled, during American expansionism, during the period when the Mormon religion was created, many of the thousands and thousands of mounds that were attributed to Indians were destroyed to farming and the building of towns, and that the people did record the bones of giant people that were in the mounds, as they built over them and destroyed so much of the evidence.  However, in some cases, there are obvious Jewish influences evident in the mounds that would not be part of any simple hunter-gatherer groups. 

About 20 miles east of Cincinnati is a mound complex known as the Ohio Hanukkiah Mound, which is now gone, but it was recorded when it was discovered before farming destroyed it for good.  It was built in the shape of a Menorah.  Additionally, other Jewish-style artifacts have been found in numerous mounds, notably the Holy Stones located near the Newark complex, just outside modern-day Columbus.  And based on that, and a lot of the well-researched maps provided by the Book of Mormon Evidence.org group, we see more validation of the Mormon religion spreading around the world as a lost tribe of Israel, than just the fanciful imaginings of Joseph Smith, a young kid who grew up into a snakeoil salesman to create a religion that allowed people to have more than one wife.  And when we accept one religion and its premise over another one, we have to ask why the logic isn’t universal.  And if we do find that the Mormons are the actual inhabitants of North America, along with descendants of Atlantis who have been in the New World for many thousands of years, dating back 250,000 years or more.  Then how can we say that the Indians were the “indigenous people” as a tribe of nomads who happened across a land bridge during the Ice Age, and had no technology and were nature worshippers who deserve to have their land back from the mean migrants who came from Europe and took everything away from them. Instead, we see stories of Mormons who left a hostile region to pursue a better life. In those old Jewish cultures, there were teachings of Hermes, who brought advanced knowledge of astrology and the magical practices of the Kabbalah.  The selection of Islam to be believed fits a political desire, not a scientific one.  Because Joseph Smith has been ridiculed by academia as a hoax, while Islam’s Muhammad was not to be questioned as anything but a prophet and the direct hand of God, Allah. If we are going to accept one however, we have to take the other, and as far as evidence, the large amount of it in North America shows that the Jewish people had a large colony of people with very advanced ideas that were recorded in the Book of Mormon that provide some very intriguing viewpoints from a time not very well understood by modern science.  And we have a lot more to learn.

Greeks and Ancient Atlantis: I was the only one in the world who got it right regarding the war with Iran

This may seem like an odd topic, given the current state of the world, but I believe we are uncovering a vast conspiracy that’s deeply rooted in institutionalism and has been impacting the world as a whole.  And to further validate that entire statement, and not to brag, but I was right.  More correct than anybody in the world regarding the war with Iran.  There might be somebody out there who said it as clearly as I did, but out of all the big players in the media, they got it all wrong regarding what Trump was doing with Iran.  As usual, I was the first to say precisely what would happen, and it took days for the rest of the world to figure it out.  So when I say that Atlantis, as a lost civilization, ended up in North America, and the mound builders specifically, it’s more than a fanciful expression of fantasy and fun.  We are discussing institutional failure and why experts can’t be trusted even to tell us the truth about history, let alone advise us on medical issues, or run our lives through government.  When we say that we need freedom from government, the answer to the whys and hows requires an institutional understanding of failure modes.  So when I say that Greek mythology is the evidence of a previous, global civilization of Atlantis I say it to demonstrate that the root cause of much failure in the world can be traced back to mistakes that go back to that ancient civilization, and that we took many of the failures that destroyed that culture and migrated them into modern life.  And our lifeline into that understanding is the stories preserved through Greek, Norse, and Egyptian mythology within the Hermetic tradition.  

So when you understand how ancient civilizations either succeeded or failed, you can avoid the same mistakes in our present cultures.  And in understanding that, I can see clear trends that many people miss completely, or don’t understand until it is way too late.  With that said, I have been re-reading the Greek myths so that I can better understand Atlantis as a civilization, because one of the Greek gods, Poseidon, was in charge of that society, and obviously, the hints at what Greek mythology would reveal were more than the fantastic wonderings of human culture.  The stories themselves, like all stories, reveal things about us as a species that are infinitely important in the decision-making process of modern governments and how much of it we need or want.  I don’t like any of the Greek gods of Mt. Olympus, or their children, such as Apollo, Hercules, Achilles, or Hector; they are all overly flawed people who bring great destruction to the lives around them.  And as we look around the world and consider that these stories are far older than the period of the famous philosopher Socrates, from 470 BC to 399 BC, likely by thousands of years.  That would place them in the time of the societies all around the Mediterranean Sea, especially in Malta, and the Minoan worship of the Minotaur, a creature of the famous labyrinth.  We must also pay attention to the Greeks, as without them, the Bible would not have been preserved for us to read today.  And how many stories in the Bible are re-told stories from the very ancient past, put into modern context?  With “modern” representing the latest biblical chronology.  As the story goes, Atlantis was destroyed by a catastrophe, but it was already in a state of prolonged decline, having been overrun by witches and magicians who corrupted the society’s structure in detrimental ways, long before it sank into the sea, as reported by Plato. 

Moral corruption is the element of concern here, and it was analyzed as the failure mode of Atlantis. As people fled that society, they migrated all over the world, taking their stories with them and their study of the stars in attempts to restart society many times over.  We are currently working on doing this exact thing with Mars.  Leaving one society for another is a common theme among all human beings; therefore, we must apply the same logic to the people of Atlantis, who migrated to North and South America, as well as to the Far East, and settled with their technology and religions intact.  However, it would need to be changed subtly, not over a few thousand years, but over tens of thousands of years.  We may find out with a lot more digging, that the Tower of Babel is a summary of what happened to the entire world during this crises period where Atlantis was destroyed and its inhabitants that survived became the North American Indians, or the civilizations of Egypt, Malta, or of Scandinavia, and the British Isles.  And we didn’t see the connection because we made the wrong assumptions about how humans migrated across the globe.  We came up with the idea of human evolution emerging out of Africa without verifying the reliability of that theory, and we constructed a time scale for human development incorrectly.  And now, generations of scientists have gotten everything wrong because they refused to correct each other as new information was presented that contradicted their findings. 

Given that history, it’s essential to understand how cascading failure is an accepted norm in our expert class of modern institutionalists.  Rather than challenge the static norm, they are more prone to adopt it.  Such as what happened with assuming that Trump bombing Iran would start World War III.  Rather than looking at the economic conditions for Iran, we thought we understood the nature of war to the point that we did not address the situation correctly, until Trump bombed them and ended their terror regime in a single night on June 21st, 2025.  The same flawed logic has dismissed Atlantis as a fantasy from the past, from the kind of minds that wrote the Odyssey and the Iliad, without considering that the stories themselves provided valuable insights into the human mind, which would long be gone as physical evidence through the process of erosion otherwise.  Very little of anything built 10,000 years ago would remain unless it were preserved in the manner we have witnessed at Göbekli Tepe in Turkey.  And when we study the North American mound builders, or the creators of Stonehenge, Avebury, or the entire South American continent, we are seeing what was left of a civilization from long ago that is only preserved in the stories they passed down through generations, that were perhaps organized by the Greeks, and other Mediterranean cultures in their quest for culture.  So, they wrote down everything they could preserve, including the Bible.   To understand ourselves in a modern context, it is essential to understand the past, not the one taught in school.  Because much of that is all wrong.  However, instead, we get glimpses from sources such as the Greek myths.  And what strikes me most about them is the amount of sex in them.  These were not cultures that hunted and gathered; they were concerned with human emotions and relationships, as well as luxury items, in any society that has advanced beyond the necessities.  That means, if the Greeks had time to think about such things 2,000 years BC, or even 3,000 to 4,000 years ago, the stories came from a culture that had mastered the means to luxury, where they had free time to think about such things.   This says a lot about the history we are studying, as it provides a very accurate window into the past, much better than carbon dating.
