The Global Mafia Rule of The Octagon Group: “He who owns the gold, rules”

I think you’ll find that most people associated with group activity are drawn to the safety blanket of such community affiliation out of their insecurities.  For instance, one of the most influential people in the world and a financial powerhouse in America was J.P. Morgan Sr., a womanizer, a believer in astrology, and a passionate collector of art.  He was also very insecure about how big his nose was.  Many early bankers, such as Morgan, were socialists who were much more attracted to limited competition because it made their lives much easier than the chaos of the free market.  Much discussion about his professional and public life has been discussed because of who he is, but what he believes gets much less attention than how we have learned to report details of people’s lives.  Because we don’t want to be exposed ourselves, as reporters, we don’t often ask all the detailed questions.  But it was common among such people, the most powerful and influential in the world, to have deep personal insecurities that they hid behind various group affiliations.  So when you hear that these kinds of people, whether it’s the Morgans, the Rothschilds, or the Vanderbilts, pick your big family of strong influence, you’ll see some common traits that sound more like mafia bosses than normal church-going patrons on a Sunday afternoon. They find themselves in secret societies not because what they do is all that secret but because they wish to conceal a power they get from group affiliation from a general public they wish to rule over, to mask their insecurities.  They want to be elite compared to the ordinary person to provide that illusion to themselves through classic group consensus.  This is why I have said that the organized crime mobs moved from the power that the sudden invention of mass communication and transportation gave them and migrated into government.  Because that’s where the power was.  For instance, in Morgan’s case, or any of them thinking of starting a Federal Reserve in 1910, their primary interest was using the government to cover loans they made to various countries.  How else could they recover funds owed to them but take over the government and use that power to collect when people, or other countries, stiffed them? 

In many ways, we have all assumed that everyone in the world played by and respected our Constitutional rules in America.  However, from the point of view of the globalist power broker who is deeply involved in international business, the rules were for thee, but not for me, as a general social position.  To swallow that pill, they would belong to various groups, such as Masons, and seek protection from the spirit world in secret societies, which is how membership into the largest and most secretive came to be for some and why it’s still a problem today, which hides a lot of organized crime.  And that is essentially how and why there is a group called the Octagon Group, which makes up an ultra-secret globalist network based out of Switzerland and comprises influential Catholic and Jewish families whose lineage traces back to the Egyptian Pharaohs.  It is the wealthiest, most deadly, and most technologically advanced mafia in the world, which umbrellas hundreds of other organizations and has the shape of an 8-sided logo as a symbol.  For instance, one of the most public expressions of their power is the Dome of the Rock at Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem.  The conflict there between Islam, the Christians, and the Jews is an artificial construct meant to control public sentiment and keep political tensions from allowing the public at large to get too close to their actual clandestine actions.  It’s a turf war essentially between the global mafia and ordinary people who will enable themselves to be divided into various religious factions controlled by these personalities.

It’s not like membership in this club has a charter and a chain of command that the public would understand.  Most of the membership happens by default rather than a conscious decision.  But when we talk about the Knights of Malta, the Khazarian Mafia, the Nazis, the World Economic Forum, the Jesuits, the Masons, the Black Nobility, the Vatican, the Rothschilds, the Morgans, the British Empire, the Black Pope, even the Roman Empire as it was created and implemented, then studied over the years, it all traces back to this membership of the Octagon Group. Around the world, the eight sides of their logo represent the eight main cities of their control, such as Rome, Jerusalem, Washington D.C., Munich, London, Zurich, Geneva, and Bern.  Notice the names of cities not on this list, such as Beijing, Delhi, Tokyo, or even Moscow.  When you pull away all the curtains as to how mob mentality has ruled the world, most of it traces back to this international mob of the Octagon Group operating out of these eight primary cities and using the mask of traditional governments as their personal collection agencies to be the heavies of their international funding operations.  To play the game, you have to be a member.   Otherwise, they use the power of governments they control to destroy all challengers.  The members join out of self-interest to rule the world from the shadows.  But they aren’t any better than anybody else.  They are prone to acquire power and money and protect their gains through globalist affiliations under the umbrella of the Octagon Group.  And before you say such a thing is crazy, remember, there is a giant obelisk from ancient Egypt in the middle of America’s capital, hiding in plain sight.  It’s hardly a conspiracy theory; it’s right out in the open. 

People not so obsessed with power and control, which under any other conditions would be considered a mental illness, generally want to live their lives, do what they need to to make a living, and can live and let live when it comes to other people.  But the members of these massive globalist mobs who have grown over time to control the entire finance industry and used the power of government to collect on debts owed to them generally have a few screws loose that don’t get analyzed commonly because the scrutiny would come from the same people seeking jobs and employment.  So, people typically look the other way, hoping that they might profit from the discretion.  That’s how such groups have gained power over society in general, which they don’t deserve to have.  It’s also why they believe they don’t have to obey any laws in America and that they function above and beyond governments. Technically, they view the government as their direct employees, not public representatives.  The public serves them as elite members of society, as do the governments they pick for their representation.  Until recently, these members of the Octagon Group hid their behavior behind the typical ring knockers of the military, who believe in rigid social constructs in society that are not merit-based but built to support social mechanisms rooted in aristocratic rule.  They don’t respect American independence from this structure.  They used American independence to topple kingdoms in Europe for their own needs of control.  But never forget, “he who owns the gold rules.”  And if you don’t control the gold, you don’t rule.  Whoever controls the monetary policy of a society is the ruler of that society, and this collection of various social mobs under the Octagon Group are the characters behind globalism.  They expected the governments to dance at their feet, as was the case, starting with Grover Cleveland in America and migrating through the Roosevelt, Taft, and then Wilson administrations.  After that, they were all too deeply embedded to stop traditionally.  The governments of the world became the captured assets we see today and are being smoked out by populism.  But their expectations to maintain their authority are pretty audacious.  They picked their guy in Biden because he was an excellent stooge for their movement.  But it’s coming unraveled as we speak, and panic is deep in their ranks on a global scale.  And it couldn’t happen to a better group of people and their mafia of discontent.  They have been controlling the money of the world.  But they are losing control now, and justifiably so.  If you want to end their rule, get control of your money management.  Otherwise, these destructive secret societies will continue to rule without any challenges to their authority.

‘Horizon: An American Saga,’ a movie that is magnificent for all who want to Make America Great Again

It’s a great movie that deserves to be seen in a movie theater, but most of what you have heard about the new film Horizon: An American Saga is wrong regarding the negative stuff.  It’s a big, bold movie that tries to put its arms around American westward expansion and can almost touch its fingers on the other side.  But it does do what many Westerns since the early days of cinema have done, and that captures the vast expanses of the West and American opportunity along the way that is simply magnificent.  This was a western on the scope of How the West Was Won, made by a guy in Kevin Costner, who loves westerns and has built the best parts of his career by making them.  It reminded me of an Alan Ekert novel from the Frontiersman series.  Now, this will not win the Academy Awards.  They will hate Costner for making this movie, so don’t expect any respect from the Hollywood machine for this Western series, which is the first of a projected four.  They are filming the third installment as of the summer of 2024.  The second part comes out in the middle of August.  And I hope they complete part four.  This is not a traditional way of making movies; you watch the first part in a movie theater for over three hours.  Then, once all the primary characters are introduced, you have to return a few months later to see what happens next.  At the end of Horizon: An American Saga Part One, we are just getting started on an epic story about the creation of America as a country, which is vastly ambitious.  I would say, from Kevin Costner’s point of view, this is a love letter to all the blood it took to make America and to make a point about why it was worth it. 

As a business decision, this is not built on the model Hollywood is built on today.  Not all standard measures can be applied.  This movie is made, I think, to try to save movie theaters from becoming the modern version of drive-ins.  There are economic forces out there that are very consciously trying to destroy various American industries through woke politics, and Hollywood has fallen for the trap in many ways, willingly.  The communist left has an agenda, and they have been attacking American Westerns for decades now.  This movie, Horizon: An American Saga, is a purposeful rebellion against that trend.  It is exceptionally well made by the same guy who directed Dances with Wolves.  It has all that size and scope and then some.  The problem with a movie like this is that the union labor costs are so outrageous now that it’s nearly impossible to make any large production without exceeding a 100 million dollar budget.   As I watched the credits until the end, this is a big Hollywood movie with all the big labor that comes with such a production, so the financing doesn’t add up in a traditional way, as measured by The Hollywood Reporter.  When John Ford made westerns like this, the budgets with unionized labor weren’t nearly so out of control.  So they could afford to tell stories like this without all the fast-paced action of a summer blockbuster.  This movie was designed to be presented significantly and for people to go to the theater to see it as opposed to streaming it at home.  It’s so long that it keeps people in the movie theater for a long time buying snacks.  And it could and should be seen several times.  And that people will keep coming back for future installments to see the next parts.  It’s an almost unheard-of financial model where Costner uses his personal money to help get the films out. 

It doesn’t surprise me that the film only made 10 million dollars in its opening weekend.  I mean, who is going to see it? It’s long, and they talk a lot.  There aren’t many action scenes.  It is filmed with traditional pacing; it reminded me of Little House on the Prairie or Gunsmoke in most of the movie.  The camera angles are broad but set, and the actors do a lot of work talking.  That’s not to say that everything isn’t interesting, but this isn’t a Marvel movie designed to be a billion-dollar box office generator.  They aren’t trying to thrill you with a spectacular action scene every ten minutes.  This is a plodding and deliberate movie made in the classic way to return to theaters after COVID-19, a Hollywood product that puts people back in their seats, not just for one event, but several times.  It was an extraordinarily bold throwback to when Hollywood told these kinds of stories often, and for people looking for their country back after years of political turmoil, this movie is a stake in the ground to inspire people to deal with the enormity of creating the greatest country on the face of the earth, and not to apologize for it.  Given the political situation we are all experiencing now, this is a movie for Trump supporters who want to Make America Great Again.  While Hollywood does love Kevin Costner, they certainly won’t be happy with him making this movie; The industry has attacked him for it in every negative reporting avenue they could.  But this is a project that Kevin Costner loves, and it shows.  And it is worth sharing, for sure.

A lot has been made about how Indians are portrayed in this movie.  Although they were brutal, I didn’t think they were shown in too harsh of a light.  People thought of them as savages.  It is the communist left who has told us that we were supposed to be in love with them and to think of them as indigenous people who were here first and that we took their land from them.  I have a very different view of Indian life, and I do not see them as a superior culture who had a right to be in North America and that we took something from them.  This movie, Horizon: An American Saga, gives the Indians more credit than I think they deserve.  In history, they were migrants just like everyone else, looking for a life for themselves.  But this living with nature crap is very much a globalist communist sentiment meant to control human behavior, not to do what humans were born to do, and that is to create.  Horizon is a movie about the need for American expansion and the collision of those forces on one of the last free places on Earth.  And as violent and challenging as it was, why did people do it?  It’s a movie that explains to us through all the lenses a movie can provide.  The effect is simply magnificent and different from any other movie experience that I’ve ever seen in my lifetime.  I hope it works.  It’s a massive gamble by Kevin Costner to put his life’s work into a movie like this and a series meant exclusively to be seen in a movie theater.  Movie theaters need movies like this to stay open, and Costner is trying to start a trend.  But the timing of it couldn’t have come at a better time.  This is a movie for all of us, no matter what your political background.  And America deserves this story to be told for its benefit.  Because ultimately, it’s the main character and the point of the entire enterprise.

What Happens on the Day After: If we find out we don’t have a country

So……………that debate was so bad between Trump and Joe Biden that it left people wondering, what happens if we get through the election and Trump does not end up in the White House?  At this point, it’s obvious everyone is going to vote for Trump.  The Democrats should have never tried to put Joe Biden on stage for more than a few minutes.   He was a mess, a diabolical disaster, Joe Biden.  Going into the debate, Trump was ahead in the polling.  Coming out of the debate of June 27th, 2024, there will be no question.  Biden is the candidate of globalism, which means he’s a guy that the globalists think they can control, which is why they stuck with him for a puppet presidency.  And it has blown up in their faces, leaving the question, why did they put him up there?  They had this debate early, two months before their Democrat National Convention, so they could adjust and get another candidate while there was still time.  But honestly, there isn’t time.  Democrats are stuck with Joe, and now there is a lot of head-scratching from the come lately crowd.  It was never clearer how things should go in this upcoming election.  So people want to know what happens on the day after the election; what do they do if Trump isn’t elected back into the White House, even after the choice was as clear as this and people picked him overwhelmingly more than Joe Biden?  I would argue that this was indeed the case the first time around in 2020.  Biden did not get 81 million votes.  He was put in office, not elected by the people.  When it comes to globalism, it is not an unusual concept.  Joe Biden is good for globalism because they do not want a strong American leader.  And they think they are in charge of the world, especially the results of elections. 

Well, it’s not time yet to grab the guns and charge down the globalists who are behind this mess.  Don’t panic.  These are horrendously bad people who are power-hungry to extremely detrimental levels. For example, Jill Biden displayed after the debate to a wondering, aloof Joe Biden looking around aimlessly with a weird smile, a panic that startled a lot of people.  I would say this is what losing power looks like, and Democrats are losing it.  They wouldn’t have put him out there a long time ago if they had a better option.  But they didn’t because this is how they thought they could get away with all the globalist agenda criteria.  Most of the world has rigged elections.  The United States is unique in that we have stable law and order that isn’t easily toppled, but the Democrats have been caught trying to, and now ordinary, regular, everyday people see what’s going on, and they are going to vote for their own best interest.  But for the first time, the globalist, Deep State types won’t be able to trick people into providing them a cover of legitimacy behind policy disputes, as they have been doing for decades.  The communist left has a big problem, and yes, they will turn to violence to take power and hold power.  They have been rigging elections all over the world, and in the United States, they have been caught, and we are going to have to do something about it.  I would recommend working this out in Congress through legal means.  But if we find out that we don’t have a functioning government, which is what we are talking about, what will we do? 

I would say that this is precisely why we have the Second Amendment.  The only thing that has prevented an all-out war with firearms against communist insurgents is that they have been functioning from the perspective that they could always trick just enough people into following their radical agenda.   And who they couldn’t convince, they acquired through election fraud against an unsuspecting, well-meaning public.  But that’s gone now; there is no way to recover from that previous position.  The world, especially in America, will never return to what the Democrats had previously enjoyed.  They have lost the trust of the people.  Trump is a much more attractive candidate after that debate than before, and the process of trying to destroy Trump with all the weapons of an Administrative State has only revealed the game to the public that has always been going on.  So when the election is held, and if people don’t get Trump, when the pick will be so clear, then what?  Do we say, “Ah shucks, we gave it a nice try, now let’s return to our everyday lives?”  No, that won’t be the thing to do.  We’re going to have to take back our government from the control of these globalist insurgents by force.  It’s a promise we all make to pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.  And we can’t give control of our government over to these globalist managers.  What they have done is nothing short of an attack on our country and all our lives, as hostile as any military attack in history.  And they have to pay for what they did.  They all have it coming, in as much of a menacing way as possible.  They did it to themselves. 

But what does that mean?  I would put it this way: this is precisely why we had to do what we had to do.  Keep your powder dry and expose all this in the way we have.  It’s much more exciting to go into these kinds of things with guns blazing and a clear winner of good guys and bad guys that can be written about in the context of history.  But we have to play by the rules if we want to win by the rules, and honestly, what we see is never supposed to happen.  By now, the globalists were hoping that there would be a civil war of violence in America so they could tip-toe into the background and hide in the mountains of Davos behind the mask of chaos.  Instead, they have to hide behind this fool Biden and be exposed for their tampering the way they were in this debate.  And if Trump had played anything differently, we wouldn’t know much of what we do know now.  The communist left is in trouble everywhere that globalism has stuck itself into.  They have also been exposed in America through the Biden presidency.  If there was doubt during Obama’s administration, or even the Bush administration, those doubts are now gone.  And the election is clear about how it should go.  And if we find out that we don’t control our elections, and they make a pick for us that we don’t want, we will have to get nasty about it, which we can afford to do because we have played by the rules entirely up to this point.  But the fact does not mean we surrender our country to globalist insurgents.  We have a right and obligation to control our country, and we will do so.  And if it turns to violence, it will be the fault of the communist left.  And I am personally ready for that.  But not before we exert every notion of the rule of law through the election process.  If they take that away from us, as they did in 2020, we must take it back with more than a patty cake sentiment.  But that will be on the day after and not before.

Joe Biden Was A Disaster: If you want to destroy your enemies, make them compete with you

Whatever anybody thought about putting Joe Biden on stage for a June debate, there would never be a good outcome.  With the White House disputing even facts everyone could see and calling them Deep Fakes or “Cheap Fakes,” having that beat-up old compromised man on stage for 90 minutes against one of the best communicators in modern history wasn’t very smart.  It was even arrogant because the belief was that the people who did put him on stage thought they had such control over all things in the Administrative State that they might get away with it.  No, it was a bloodbath, even more so than anybody had hoped.  Even Democrats had to agree, even if their enthusiasm for that disaster was the hope that Gavin Newsom or Gretchen Whitmer might take over at the last minute.  The truth of the matter is that Joe Biden is the best that the Democrats had to put up, and he fits the needs that globalists have for domination over both American political parties, which they have sought to control.  Biden was a puppet president who was inserted.  And whatever they thought about doing the debate, and doing it in June as opposed to the fall season closer to the election so they could make adjustments before the August convention, nothing can salvage that performance.  It was probably the worst debate performance in the history of debates, not because I wanted it to be, but because it was what it was.  Joe Biden looked horrendous.  There were no Deep Fakes or Cheap Fakes in the editing.  He looked terrible, and everyone at the end of the debate knew it.  At least, Biden did one good thing: he brought the country together to agree that he lost that debate and was horrible for the Democrat Party.  And that the Democrats were now stuck with him. 

What was more critical was Jill Biden’s little speech at the end, where she looked even worse.  The screen captures of her crazy face, forever reminding everyone what has been happening.  Jill Biden is a product of the system, a person of social titles, and exactly what America wanted to get away from regarding European aristocracy.  How will she keep her family out of jail if she loses power?  She clasped onto Joe Biden, looking like he was a kid in the Willy Wonka factory, much as she did the trial of Hunter Biden on the gun charge, flying in from France to show her support in the courtroom.  But the minute she wasn’t somebody in public office, she was a nobody with no talent, and that was scary to her.  It showed up in her speech when she realized that Biden had all but lost the election after that debate performance.  Her dreams of keeping her family out of jail for their years of crimes depended on staying in public office.  That was the only way out for them.  While her husband, Joe, might not live very long, the Hunter Biden stories and the Ashley Biden diary revelations will continue to destroy her family for years to come, and she will end up a disgraced wreck.  Her husband might have avoided that embarrassment through death, which looked to be at their door with his performance, but she had more life to live. Without the presidency or a prominent place in the Democrat Party, she would drift into obscurity quickly.  And she realized it with the cameras rolling. 

This is kind of a thing for me; all I can say is that these are the benefits of competition.  Everyone who kept their powder dry could pat themselves on the back.  If you don’t play by the law, you can’t use the law.  And many of these crazy lunatics from the communist left would have hoped by now that the whole country would have been a January 6th.  The Masons had experience with this when they provoked the French Revolution, which got out of hand.  The only way out for many of these Democrats, after what they had done in the decades leading up to this debate, was to create massive unrest.  They wanted more violence than what they ended up with on January 6th.  And I still can’t blame people for getting angry on that day.  It could have been worse.  We witnessed a government stealing our election to stay in power.  And those in power are lucky that all they received was the little protest of January 6th.  It could have been far, far worse.  But I think the best way to beat your opponents is to make them compete and not let them hide behind some administrative veil.  Make them stand on stage and perform.  And because Trump and the rest of us did not riot or give up on the Constitution, the Democrats had to have that debate and show what a fool Biden was to the world.  The pressure of the expectation to perform legally forced them to do what they were not prepared to do.  As I say all the time if elections are protected from cheating, Democrats cannot win an honest election.  And if forced to perform in a competitive endeavor, they can’t, not at any level, win. 

And that is the lesson: if you want to defeat globalism, don’t fall for all their shiny toys.  Don’t let them mesmerize you with illusion.  Make them perform, and watch them fall apart.  You won’t have to fire a shot.  They will destroy themselves, just as Joe Biden did on that debate stage where everything was in his favor, including that CNN was the host.  Trump walked into enemy territory where everything was against him, and he dominated, which was the point.  Everyone was so worried that Trump was going to fall into a trap.  He’s a good executive; if you are good at anything, you should be able to walk into hostile territory and do well.  Trump needed to show the world what losers all these people were.  And just by showing up, it forced Democrats to put their best person on stage, and yes, Joe Biden is their best person.  That’s how bad they are.  Without all the illusion of The Wizard of Oz, with the smoke and fire, there is a weak little man behind the curtain who is powerless.  And they put him there to pull the levers because he was harmless and would let lesser people rule the world.  That is until people realize what an illusion it always was.  And anybody who wanted to believe in that illusion had that ripped away from them with this debate, which will likely be the last one.  Joe Biden could never afford such an exhibition of incompetence ever again.  And nobody is ever going to give him a chance.  If you want to win at life, make your enemies perform before you go crazy, grab guns, and turn to lawlessness.  The way we handled some of the most significant crimes in human history has been good.  It might not have been fun.  But it has been effective, and the proof was in this devastating debate performance.  We are just getting started on the dismantling of the administrative state.  This was just one little brick. 

Defeat communism in your community, in your country, and throughout the world

The Ten Commandments in Every Louisiana Public School is a Great Idea: I would say they should be in every government building

I would say almost everyone gets the Bible wrong.  Religion is often a weapon of the controller over the controlled, no matter where it has been contemplated.  To wash away the positive effects of the Bible but to keep the controlling aspects brought to us by the Roman Empire, the Bible spawned two of the world’s largest religions, Judaism and Christianity, and caused a response with Islam, another religion created to unify vast amounts of people toward a set of ideas that outside forces could easily control.  But the Bible by itself is much more than that, and I have always thought that removing the Ten Commandments from any government building, or society in general, was a terrible, progressive idea.  And all advocates for doing so should be punished for their intentional destruction of society.  The Bible is a fantastic book, and it is scary to think that if not for the Greeks, a very organized society that advanced itself with an empire of its own, without their power and purpose of civilization, the Bible under the Septuagint would have never survived the centuries.  The Bible is one of the rare, lost books to have survived that period, before the burning of the Library at Alexandria, and, astonishingly, we have access to it.  Wherever the values of the Bible have been followed, society has thrived in ways that good thinking tends to produce.  And at the core of that thinking is the Ten Commandments, or what I would call the keys to all foundation laws that can build a prosperous society.  What the Jews started with Moses was the essential ingredient to a positive, self-governed society, which is the root of all the success of America.  And that the enemies of America understand this, which is why they want to destroy the Bible and promote a society of godless heathens who worship at the feet of aristocrats and kings power hungry and corrupt beyond reason, and incredibly short-sighted on global affairs. 

This sets the stage for what we are seeing coming out of Louisiana by Governor Jeff Landry, who has signed a law requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in all classrooms in public schools.  I think that’s a fantastic idea, and I would go much further by requiring the Ten Commandments in every government building.  The Ten Commandments, as passed down to us through the Bible, have proven to give rise to a society that can build on itself and survive from one generation to another.  Before the Bible was widely printed and understood by individuals, society could not have shared values that did not come from a regional king or overlord.  So, the publication and dispersal of the Ten Commandments to mass audiences have been some of the most incredible things ever to happen to the human race, as far as individual empowered common cause is concerned.  It makes sense not to kill people.  It makes sense not to sleep with your neighbor’s wife or any wife but your own.  (and yes, you should have a wife or husband and build families as a personal possession)  You shouldn’t steal.  It would be best if you weren’t jealous of what other people have.  Even though common sense should guide your thoughts away from destructive behavior, the Ten Commandments were written down to share with a mass audience who have taken that common thinking and built several successful societies that last to this day.  And those who want to destroy those societies want to take away their strength, so they work against the Bible in any way they can.  That’s why any culture that works against the Bible and the values in it should be considered terrorist in their intentions and subversive and prosecutable.  This isn’t a debate.  History flushes out the correct thoughts quite righteously. 

I will never forget the reverence for Biblical value when I visited the Westgate Tower in Canterbury, England, and saw the jail cell where Robert Cushman, one of the first investors in the Mayflower voyage, was kept.  The Church of England was an oppressive group, and they were constantly at war with the Pope as Catholicism interpreted religious merit.  Cushman was a Puritan from the new Protestant movement, which the king of England was struggling with to maintain control, so as a street vendor and grocer, Cushman was thrown into the Westgate Tower to punish him for his religious beliefs.  The same kind of persecution we see today for the same reasons, such as Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro, and President Trump.  So, the Pilgrims fled England and Europe to pursue religious freedom and start their own colony, which would become the United States.  Whenever we talk about the separation of Church and State, this is the context everyone should understand.  Religious law is the foundation of our country.  Those who want to remove Biblical references, such as the Ten Commandments, wish to destroy the creation of the most prosperous nation in the world.  So, they are using the reason that America was created as a means of destroying America because people don’t understand the context of American law.  Without the Ten Commandments, there is no foundation for a law and order society governed by individual input.  Visiting that cell of Cushman in the Westgate Tower was one of the most inspirational things I have ever done and was much more significant than just a religious reference.  America started in that cell in the Westgate Tower, and thank goodness some people questioned the tyranny of their time from the churches of Europe like Robert Cushman. 

It doesn’t matter what religion people are in the world; they should thank existence that the Bible survived out of that period to be in our hands today.  And America has every right and obligation to put Biblical law at the center of our society.  The world can cry and whine because they don’t want what’s best for a free society.  Not even religious understandings work authentically on this matter as Cushman and his pilgrims fled the Church as a form of state control and used that same Bible as the foundation of their power and control.  But whenever forces are trying to remove the Bible from public consideration, you are looking at enemies seeking menace at the expense of personal freedoms, and that can’t be tolerated.  So, I’m a massive fan of what they are doing in Louisiana.  I’d like to see the Ten Commandments everywhere and much more often because the separation of church and state issue is a complete fiction by hostile agents of evil around the world.  America was created to separate the right to worship the Ten Commandments away from state control of religion in general, which is what they had in Europe at the time and caused many of the miseries that the world suffers from presently.  Such postures are purposeful in their intentions to destroy the human race if they do not fall under the compliance of the latest tyrant on the world stage.  Affirming the Ten Commandments is smart and is the first step toward a civil society that is productive and beneficial to all the individuals involved.  And the Bible itself is one of the most fabulous creations ever to survive.  And it should be revered much more than we do.  Because if we did, the world’s bad guys would become much clearer as a reference.  This is why they hate the Bible so much and seek its destruction as a public consideration.  They want to remain hidden and the Bible flushes them out, for all to see.

How Everyone on Earth Could Get Rich: A Space Economy with 16 Psyche’s 700 quadrillion dollars of Value–what a Trump/Ramaswamy Administration Could Start

The other day, I was talking to some very smart, rich, and well-credentialed people, that I thought was the kind of conversation that a lot of other people would benefit from.  The subject was Vivek Ramaswamy, why he should be the V.P. for Trump, and how he has a definite economic plan that will carry over well into 2028.  In the short run, it’s all about BlackRock’s destruction and strengthening the dollar from this global banking cartel of destroying it in favor of globalism, and for America to be great again, we needed to produce around 57 trillion dollars of value to pay off our national debt, and the lingering costs, and then some.  And where on earth were we going to get that kind of wealth?  That’s where things went sideways because I started talking about space.  Now, some of these people are very rich; some were PhDs and had several Master’s Degrees in various fields, from law to engineering, and they didn’t see a way out.  Their wealth had been built off the traditional model of real estate, where three generations watched the value of a property increase proportionally until everything flamed out and people couldn’t afford the new pricing structure.  Then, the economy collapses, and a new country takes over as the key destination.  Globalism has tried to set that scenario up to be China, and corporate communism has bet everything on that eventuality.  But I told them that space was where it was at.  I said we needed a divorce from globalism.  They said we need each other with interdependence; otherwise, everything would fall apart.  I told them that Vivek had an excellent economic plan to undo the work that BlackRock has done to the world and that while that was going on, SpaceX was going to refine its Starship craft so that in a few years, there would be two or three built every week, and they would be launching into space just as fast.  That left them all looking at me and asking why.

A space economy is a new frontier, and people do not yet see the benefits of it.  And I know that SpaceX isn’t just thinking of a space economy that will make America wealthy again.  Under a Trump/Ramaswamy administration, returning to an oil-based economy will solve most of our problems, quickly.  But what about after that?  They didn’t see why we would even go to space because there was nothing there.  Why would Elon Musk want to colonize Mars, the moon, or any place else?  Again, these are all brilliant, rich, and influential people.  And what I was talking about was science fiction to them.  At least until I told them about the asteroid between Mars and Jupiter called 16 Psyche, which has on its 150-mile surface over 700 quadrillion dollars in gold and precious metals.  And that’s just on one asteroid.  The next great gold rush will be in mining companies who can go to these asteroids, which Starship will make the whole experience very easy, and our entire national debt will be gone with a new value economy that the world is not prepared for.  America would be prosperous; and would forever take humanity deep into space with the wealth gained.  Legend has it that the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter used to be the planet Tiamat.  It was abundant in gold, and once it was destroyed, its occupants left and formed colonies on other planets, like Earth.  That is why all Earth cultures worship gold the way they do as a precious metal: because it is the subconscious reaction to the grief we all feel from our lost homeworld.  And that stories of Atlantis, Eden, and the foundations of all Earth cultures spawned from this lost knowledge.  This is about when everyone stopped eating and wondering if what I was saying was the next great thing or the utterances of insanity from someone who has read too many science fiction books. 

But what wasn’t in question was that 16 Psyche was a massive opportunity from a mining perspective.  We need precious metals on Earth for many reasons, not just direct monetary value, and going into space didn’t hurt anybody.  There were no indigenous people to exploit, as is the excuse of the first few gold rushes on Earth, such as the one where Spain raided Central and South America.  Then, in the western expansion, Americans found gold in California and ran through the Indians to get to it.  On 16 Psyche, there are no Indians or Aztecs.  It’s just a destroyed collection of rocks floating around in space.  You must land on them and pick up enough gold and platinum to fuel Earth’s economies for centuries with a few full payloads.  It’s relatively easy, and given the trajectory of SpaceX and their massive Boca Chica plant in Texas, they will have done their part within ten years.  Starship will be like a trucking line, always in space doing something.  To pay for those things, we know right now that there is plenty of gold and other metals of value to cover the costs.  But first, on earth, we have to put down all these Marxist plots meant to rule the world from the perspective of centralized banking and governments of communism to suppress any competition from limited resources.  The plan I was talking about would completely obliterate all those previous assumptions.  So I spoke about a very different future than they had feared, and they were at least listening. 

The key is to have a friendly administration in the White House and that all these fights between political ideologies have it out and destroy those who are holding back the human race.  There are way too many opportunities for the future to get hung up on anything.  And people like Vivek Ramaswamy get it.  He’s the future face of America, and under this next Trump administration, he’ll be able to shape economic policy with the kinds of opportunities in mind that I was talking about, with a space economy.  And many of the miseries we are experiencing today will be long gone tomorrow if we are smart and play our cards right.  The best thing we could all do is use Trump’s celebrity status to put people like Vivek Ramaswamy in a position to free the lost talent deeply suppressed in the global marketplace and expand the human intellect of the planet and into new horizons for good.  And what I was saying was not science fiction, but are the opportunities for tomorrow, today.  The future is not way out there anymore.  We are living it now, and all it will take to uncover it are some bold personality types to unleash the best that human beings can bring to thought.  We see that unleashed at the SpaceX facility in Texas in many ways.  What they are doing and an excellent economic platform for the next Trump administration are opportunities for infinite enthusiasm.  And we will quickly outpace the communist detriments of globalism driven by aristocrats and not dollars and sense.  Their power is wholly based on limited resources to stay in control.  I mentioned to this group that there was so much wealth that every human being on planet Earth could be very wealthy.  And our future would be out there, not right here.  And while that might rattle previous assumptions, it’s right in front of our faces to grab onto.  If only we dare to do so.

All Mobs and Riots Should Be Prosecuted: They are not expressions of ‘free speech,’ but ‘disturbing the peace’

If there is a lesson we should have learned by now, color revolutions don’t just happen.  They are not First Amendment protests protected by the Constitution; they are occurrences of “disturbing the peace” and should be prosecuted—all of them.  The people who advocate for them should be prosecuted to the furthest extent of the law, and their behavior should not be tolerated in the least, especially if they impact the traffic and enjoyment of the life of other people.  Riots in the streets and all mob activity are provoked into action by the kind of communist radicals who want to use discomfort and terrorism to drive a political narrative that people usually wouldn’t choose for themselves, and if left alone, people don’t think such things.  They don’t think to gather and protest some issues under anger and a show of mass force.  People falsely assume that such things are part of the American life, the life of expressing themselves as a democracy, a people who freely rule themselves.  But all those occurrences are violations of the Republic for which we indeed are, and not some flee-bitten socialist country as they have in Europe where the masses are blown upon by hidden powers from the shadows to express their discontent publically, in the form of flash mobs, burnt buildings, overturned cars, and even worse.  We have a representative republic where we vote for our people to run the government.  If we don’t like their job, we can vote them out.  Color revolutions and violent mobs intend to inflict fear, cause work stoppages, and enforce social change through dissatisfied people who want things to happen faster and more radically than our election process allows.  Ultimately, the participants wish for more from the government’s power than just the routine maintenance of their lives from a distance.  They wanted to force the power of government to do some menace, and there was never any good from the communist activity inspired by Karl Marx’s pages. 

Ultimately, the bill for these social enterprises goes straight to the door of some liberal billionaire and has for years, including the first sign of college riots in the 1940s and 1950s.  Even going back to the labor movement of the 1800s, mobs of collective protest would gather together to show their force of collective action against something they wanted to change, and the threat was by a show of force.  The problem is that people do not do these kinds of things by themselves.  A shadowy few always inspire them.  Where do people know where to gather and protest? Who prints the signs and puts up the social media posts?  It’s not the organizers, that is for sure.  It’s the people who blow into their ears who start all these protests, and those whispers come from the political shadows of hostile agents of the American way of life.  It’s not a right or privilege to shut down a highway.  Or block traffic with hundreds or thousands of losers carrying a sign trying to stir the public toward some social issue.  The purpose of the force is to insight fear with the masses to change a law and order society from the logic of contemplative thought.  The goal is to wear down the boldness and resolution of a society based on laws and to change those assumptions into fearful appeasement of the mobs in question.  And those mobs never just happen.  They are provoked, created, and sponsored by domestic enemies of the peace, and it’s time we admit this to ourselves and prosecute the behavior.  And stop assuming we have some ridiculous commitment to the practice because we never learned the nature of civics.  It’s not a First Amendment expression of a free society.  It’s disturbing the peace. 

All those riots that we saw during the Trump administration were planned hostilities intended to commit harm to our nation and its people with a promise of violence.  They didn’t occur organically.  The protests over police brutality and other issues of race had nothing to do with the victims perpetrated by communist revolutionaries who have taken over poor neighborhoods of color and nationality, who function from tempers and not logic. They are an exploited people meant to do the dirty work of hostile terrorists to America in general, and their purpose during Trump’s term, and what they are planning to do this next time, is to use fear to provoke legislation to preserve their liberal world order, not the logic of a free people working together to run a republic.  Riots and mobs intend to replace logic with fear and anxiety and to topple legislation to appease chaos.  All organized mobs are incidents of disturbing the peace and are attempts to overthrow our elected government, and they must be prosecuted to the greatest severity that the law allows.  The riots we saw with Trump came from the communist left; they didn’t organically form out of self-expression.   They were organized to inflict misery on logic and to scare society into supporting communist left causes through default, and it is time we recognize the practice for what it is, going back to all mass protests in America and all other places in the world.  Riots and mobs are made; they don’t form.  People don’t just sit down and plan them.  They are provoked and built into our culture through the communism of Karl Marx’s work in Europe, which the rest of the world adopted, thinking they were expressions of free speech.  They never work out that way; they are disturbances of sovereign people purposely perpetrated to take away those freedoms through the illusion of mass compliance.

We have to talk about this because we’re going to see a lot of desperate Democrats in the months to come.  Not just from all these Supreme Court cases that have not gone in their direction, they will form up mobs to inspire fear in the courts to rule away from the Constitution and for the communist organizers of flash mobs and violent thugs.  And, of course, once they expire all their legal warfare against Trump and the MAGA march continues and grows, they will turn toward the barely masked occurrences of mobs to promise violence to those who surrender their logic to the power of mass social discourse backed by a promise of social unrest.  And that is against the law and is prosecutable.  Just like a bunch of teenage kids can be arrested for playing music too loud in their cars, mobs of losers can be prosecuted for violating the personal rights of thousands of people who find their peace disturbed by hostile agents of doom.  And whores to a social order where minority communist insurgents working from a billionaire status of resources fund these expressions of chaos from the comfort of their offices and living rooms while dumb fools who don’t know any better hit the streets in a show of force thinking because they aren’t brilliant, that they are participating in Constitutional expressions of the First Amendment when in reality they are criminals harming others and their peaceful existence.  And many people from the first Trump term have yet to be punished.  And they are planning all that and more during a second term.  Isn’t it interesting that most riots have disappeared during Biden’s term?  Why do you think that is?

Supreme Court’s Ruling on Bump Stocks: Without unregulated gun ownership, you can’t have a civil society

Here’s the deal, everyone: gun control is not a thing.  Restricting people’s access to guns by government controls is never going to be a thing in America.  The Bump Stock Ban that was initiated by President Trump during his term, as a bone to the communist left, is an excellent example as the Supreme Court ruled against the banning of the device that simulates automatic fire from semi-automatic weapons, as used in the Las Vegas shooting where innocent concert dwellers were pummeled with gunfire, and many were killed needlessly.  Immediately in reaction to the shooting, the communist left was looking for gun control legislation and a rules-based attack on the Second Amendment, and President Trump caved, thinking that if he threw them a bone, they’d be happy and go away.  That is how we have ended up with a lot of dumb laws and legal interpretations over the years and how the communist left has sought to undermine our entire society.  News flash, we don’t want to be like those crappy European countries, or like Australia, New Zealand, or any country that has lots of gun laws and bans on weapons.  It doesn’t surprise me that the Supreme Court voted 6-3 to leave the ban because the Second Amendment isn’t there as a right granted to the public; it’s there to limit the government’s powers over the people.  And we know now, more than ever, that the government is far more dangerous than guns in society.  Without guns, the government spirals out of control detrimentally, and corruption is soon to follow because they don’t fear the people.  The government needs to fear the people they work for.  Without guns, there is no respect because the government has all the power.  Guns are essential to keep all the human temptations toward sinful behavior regulated not out of respect but out of self-preservation.  And that Supreme Court finally gets it, as they are ruling on more issues that are just as logical.

All mass shootings need to be investigated as actions of government involvement.  Much like they did with the Kennedy assassination, where they pick a loner with all kinds of crazy thoughts and steer them through various means toward an action they want done, is a common problem.  The FBI has a lot to answer to, as does the CIA.  They have a lot to explain about the Las Vegas shooter, which they have never bothered with.  They can’t be trusted to order a pizza, let alone investigate mass shootings, which they often have their hands all over, hoping to create mass carnage in hopes that people will be scared into voting for more gun control.  We have seen ruthlessness of all governments, especially in the United States in recent years, that demonstrates a willingness to kill innocent people to advance political narratives.  And when it comes to all mass shootings, most of the time, they are not so spontaneous.  A tip-off trail is usually there for all to see, such as the trans shooter in Nashville.  But nobody ever stops the event from happening, and immediately after the shooting, we have the communist left demanding more gun control as if we could trust a centralized government that was behind such atrocities, such as COVID-19, for instance, with our very lives.  No thanks; we don’t need the government to act like our long-lost parents.  Just build highways, have a military, issue our driver’s licenses, and shut the hell up and mind your own business.  We don’t want kings and aristocrats ruling over us and deciding what we can and cannot have.  And we need guns to make sure the government doesn’t feel like it can get too pushy.  Because when they think people don’t have guns, they always, 100% of the time, abuse their power.

And this Bump Stock thing was a Trump deal, and people were still against it.  Yes, people still support Trump and will happily vote for him again.  But from the beginning, we knew the Supreme Court would rule this way because it’s the only way to rule.  Only an activist court not following the Constitution would think otherwise.  All these other armpit countries out there in the world would do a lot better if they had a set of laws like we do in the United States, with our Constitution.  However, we have a Constitution in America, and the Second Amendment is one of the critical foundations of law that cannot be tampered with.  Bump Stocks and much more must be available to a population to keep the government from getting too far over their skis in grabs for power.  Just because President Trump supported the ban doesn’t mean people unthinkingly follow some leaders.  Trump got it wrong, as he got a lot of things wrong.  He was suckered by the communist left, in much the way that Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates suckered him over the Covid bioweapon.  It wasn’t just January 6th that was an inside job; most public violence is caused by the government, in service to the government, to trick people into giving the government more power.  And when those same people suckered Trump, most of the public understood what was happening.  That’s why we have a Supreme Court, to provide a backstop to much of this unconstitutional insanity by hostile agents of big government loons seeking problems to advance their social menace. 

Philosophically speaking, I don’t think you can have a civil society without a heavily armed public.  The Second Amendment was never meant for hunting.  It was meant to keep humanity’s greed in check as they moved into government positions and had to stave off the temptations to abuse their power.  There has never been an instance in human history where too much power in the hands of government worked out for the people being governed.  The United States was never created to be like other countries; it was meant to be unique, so we have always been reluctant to get involved in other people’s wars.  We are isolationists because the rest of the world is too stupid to push away their governments and demand their freedom from the tyranny of the corrupt.  We’re talking about the same world that killed Socrates for corrupting the youth.  Who conspired to kill Julius Caesar by insurrectionists in the senate.  And conspirators who killed Jesus Christ just for existing.  It’s not an accident that America has the highest GDP in the world; it’s because the government hasn’t been allowed to stop people’s ambitions in life.  And you can bet, without the Second Amendment, that America would be like they tried to make it with Covid, a power-hungry government that would seek to micromanage the whole world and get in the way of everything, and attempt to rule through fear wherever possible.  An unarmed society would be a victim to government under such conditions, and the only reason we have not yet fallen to such a fate is because we have the Second Amendment.  Because there are more guns than people, and the largest army in the world is the private one shared by property ownership by American citizens.  So it’s great that the Supreme Court saw the obvious.  But that’s just the tip of an iceberg of rulings that must be turned the other way because they were created without the Constitution to limit the government’s powers.  And that’s just how it is and will continue to be.

The New Mob is No Different than the Old Mob: The bigger the government, the more mobsters there are to exploit it

Organized crime never went away; it just moved into the globalist movement. The old mobsters like Moe Dalitz from Cleveland and Screw Andrews from Cincinnati are now Larry Fink, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerburg. When people get a lot of money and use it to buy our government, it’s all the same game of corruption.  What we have witnessed with the advent of technology is that the lazy, the corrupt, the malicious, and outright evil people of the world still rally together to use mass to exploit easy living for themselves through crime and jeopardy.  Just as during western expansion, Jesse James and the gang would gather with force to rob a bank or hold up a train and steal the wealth from the inhabitants.  Mobsters always sought ways to profit off sin to exploit an endeavor, and what we see happening now globally is no different.  Technology and travel allowed them to do so on larger scales, along with centralized banking.  In other words, the bigger the government and the more organized it is, the more tempting the target is to exploit to acquire wealth as quickly as possible.  So, of course, governments would be targets for mobster activities.  Why would you hold up victims on a train when you can use the power of the government to do it for you?  All you have to do is control the government, and that is the easy part because there are always whores of some kind looking for an easy buck.  Living in Cincinnati, I have had a front-row seat to some of this mobster behavior.  Some of the biggest mobsters of their time spent a lot of time in Cincinnati and Newport, Kentucky, because it was such a centralized hub within the country.  Like anywhere where there is a lot of money; of course, organized crime elements would grow to exploit it as much as possible, which they did. 

I think it was very fortunate that I grew up the way I did.  I have always had a bold personality, and there was never a part of my life where I faced some ramifications for having it.  Instead, I have lived a vibrant life full of massive experiences.  And when danger and dollars were put before me to see if I dared take them, I was always yearning for the opportunities that came with both.  Not so good for the crime, and of course, that caused rifts that led to violence.  Which I was always perfectly fine with.  I enjoyed it.  If I could be said to have an addiction of some kind, it would be danger and it took me many years to find good ways to satisfy that part of my nature.  It’s a topic that came up in a conversation I had where someone asked me how many times I have had a gun pulled on me because they expected the answer to be zero.  Instead, I had to think about it and realized I couldn’t count them all.  It’s not like it was every day, but it was so often that I couldn’t think of them all, even after several days.  Whenever I came up with a number over twenty, I thought of new times.  And for me, it was never a regrettable experience but an excellent opportunity that made my life better as a result.  So, I don’t look back on those experiences with apprehension, but conquerable moments that made me better.  I learned firsthand that mobsters were not as brutal or scary as portrayed in the movies. Instead, at their core, they relied on group affiliation to fill in insecurities in their public lives that led to easy money because they were essentially lazy.  Their only power was fear and the ability to manipulate other people with even less courage than they had.  People sell themselves to the “take” way too easily, and often.   

Naturally, as our world grew smaller with technology and transportation, those types of people sought to exploit more people easily with a centralized government.  The old mob guys, and I met several of them in Cincinnati, mainly when I worked as a busboy at the Mike Fink restaurant on the Ohio River, was no different from the billionaires and manipulators of the world today, such as Larry Fink, Bill Gates, and Klause Schwab.  People who met Moe Dalitz from the Cleveland Four would think of him as a very charitable person involved in many front groups that everyone would recognize.  He was a trendy guy who would essentially become Mr. Las Vegas.  But he was still a thug, just as Larry Fink of BlackRock is today.  They run front organizations that give them the appearance of legitimacy.  But they made their money off the crimes of their mobster behavior, organized crime.  The activity of washing money through Ukraine by starting wars and profiting off the misery would classify as a classic mobster endeavor.  The only reason they used to be regional is that the technology and transportation at the time kept them from getting too far from a central location.  Back in the period known as the golden age of mob behavior, from the 1920s through the 1960s, planes were more challenging to get around the earth as fast as they can today, and cars were big and slow.  There weren’t highways like we have these days where you can be in another state within five hours of traveling all day, seven days a week.  Now, mobster types can hide in the mountains of Davos with all the other international gangs, such as the Khazarian Mafia, the Knights of Malta, The Jesuits, and the World Economic Forum.  Because of technology, those people have found each other easier and aligned for their crimes against humanity, which is in their nature to do.  I only mentioned my experience because I know better and understand the thinking that attracts those people to do what they do.  And why they point guns at people, hoping to use force to gain compliance. 

I also learned that the only thing those people understand is force.  They don’t respect sympathy or pleading.  They only understand force.  I’m still around to tell some of these stories because of force.  The secret to understanding this realization is that they join mobs for the same reason people join labor unions: they hope to collectively bargain for an easier life that pays them the most.  They want as much money as possible by doing as little as they can get by earning it.  And joining a mob, whether the racket is hustling girls, gambling, or bootlegging, or whether it’s drug trafficking, stealing tax money through front group organizations that get sizable grants from the government, and the kickbacks flow into the pockets of those granting the money.  Wherever there is a lot of money and access, there will be some organized crime element to exploit it and the people in the way of getting it. And there is no appeal to their “better” natures.  They will do anything to acquire easy money.  And demonizing cash doesn’t stop the behavior.  Only force manages such thugs.  There is no way to use bigger government to protect yourself from their attempts at organized crime, which Big Pharma is only a modern version of the kind of businesses that Moe Dalitz used to run.  The bigger and more powerful government only makes it easier for more mob types to exploit innocent people for their desires to gain power and money as quickly as possible, which is at the core of everything BlackRock does in the world from a money management standpoint.  And they are no different than what the old mobsters of memory did every day.  The only difference is that technology allows them to do it on a bigger scale, and our understanding of those scales is just catching up to reality.

The Collapse of the Communist Left’s Expert World: Never stay in your lane, always challenge the “experts”

Another one of the reasons that the communist left will never recover from their present condition, which they put themselves in, is that trust in an expert class will never return.  The grand failure was in what they tried to do with COVID-19, but the general attitude toward a credentialed class of experts has been falling apart for many decades.  The fantasy that communists had of a world run by experts has blown itself apart in America, and the rest of the world is following our example.  And that is a power that will forever be gone from society building.  During COVID-19, we were told to “trust the experts,” and the experts then ran us all over a cliff toward social destruction.  America was designed as a decentralized country that promoted people within its society through merit, not expert status.  In America, being good at many things is very fashionable, not just one specific thing.  Of course, Dr. Fauci was the ultimate example of an expert society people put too much trust in, who abused that leverage for personal reasons and became a menace to society.  That was the last straw for many people in the wake of that activity.  But the first began a long time ago as the labor movement tried to apply to society, in general, this ridiculous notion they have afflicted culture through labor unions, where only specialists in work performed a task.  An engineer didn’t do labor.  Labor didn’t do engineering.  And management stayed in an office somewhere and practiced for the next golf game.  Everyone had a specialty, and they stayed in their lane.  But the needs of human beings are much more dynamic than that.  And people are not happy with such a cap on limited knowledge.  People are happiest when they know many things and can approach life with curiosity and vigor. 

My personal approach to life is based on the 9 Ways of the Samurai from The Book of Five Rings, which says, “develop intuitive judgment and understanding for everything.”  And “know the Way of all professions.”  A long time ago, I worked as a machine refurbisher at Cincinnati Milacron down in Oakley, Ohio, in its prime years, and I had a big toolbox that had those 9 Ways attached to my toolbox lid, where most of the other guys had cutouts of nude women from Penthouse Magazine.  They thought I was a weird young man, but I loved my samurai books and read them every day on my breaks during those years, and it used to drive them crazy that I wasn’t interested only in my primary job.  They used to tell me to “stay in my lane” all the time and not to disrupt the apple cart.  Make your living, go home, sleep on the couch like everyone else did, and don’t try to change it.  Well, that was never good enough for me; I wanted to know something about everything, so I read many weekly books on various subjects.  Technically, these days, I could claim to be an expert in more fields of endeavor than I have fingers on my hands.  And I think that’s how the human condition wants it to be.  We have curious minds and want to learn as many things as possible.  At least we start that way as kids.  Most people hit puberty and throw that curiosity away forever once they start chasing after sexual pursuits.  But that is more of a biological surrender than the mind’s condition.  But to pull off their grand scheme on the world, global communists needed people to stay in their lane, do only what they were good at, and wait for an expert to tell them all the other things in an interdependent society of specialists trained in liberalism at the local college.  And to stay that way forever. 

By decentralizing information and making it so that people could acquire as much knowledge over a lifetime as they dared to pursue, the concept of an expert class has collapsed.  In frustration, you could see them draw that line in the sand in late 2019 when they unleashed COVID-19.  I was sitting at a bar in Orlando, Florida, watching the news of the unleashing of Covid from Wuhan, China, and I knew right away what it was because my base of knowledge was not expert-driven on a single source of wisdom but was applied over many interconnecting fields from psychology, philosophy, to essential medicine, law, politics, strategy, and military history.  And I knew it was an attack by a frustrated group of experts who were like union stewards in a typical manufacturing facility, upset that someone not qualified to do mechanical work picked up a wrench to fix something themselves instead of waiting on the union worker to stop watching television during his long break, and come and perform the work as needed.  Trump was in office and shaking up this world of experts, and they unleashed COVID-19 out of frustration to get the world to listen to them, the experts in the medical profession.  All it did was make everyone frustrated and angry because, in America, we had access to all the information we could ever hope for, and people could learn more about COVID-19 than the “experts” wanted us to know.  And they lost massive amounts of power during this period.

That was always one of the keys to the success of the United States as opposed to other countries that were much less dynamic.  Waiting for a class of experts would not work in an impatient world where progress was measured in seconds, not days and years.  The complaints about this fast-moving world always come from the sluggish communists who want a world of experts to stay in their lane and provide specificity on only the topics they are credentialed for from a local university.  I hear it probably a thousand times a week; “what makes you think you have a right to provide expert opinions on law, medicine, or political strategy?  What university did you attend that provided you with a degree in those fields?”  And my answer is that I have done more work in those fields than most people with six-year degrees combined perform over their entire lifetimes.  And that real-world experience doing real things that matter is a far better education than a liberal arts major in a specified field that limits you for the rest of your life.  And more people are figuring that out for themselves, and they are much happier.  Doing for yourself is much more rewarding than hiring an expert.  America used to be known for its self-reliance, for the backyard mechanic, and the craftsman who could build a dining room table on the weekend for their family.  The world of experts has not been rewarding, and most people who have stuck to the rules have grown into miserable adults and boring spouses.  Look at the divorce rates of most people, and you will find that most of them are drowning under the burden of an expert life where they learn their little things, stayed in their lane as they were told to all their lives, and end up brain dead by their 40s because they lose interest in life because they are so bored.  So they develop sex addictions and other detriments to fill their vacant lives with something interesting, which never works because all the effort is misapplied.  That is the world the communists wanted to give us, and it has been soundly rejected in America.  And that movement is moving to the world as a whole.  And not a moment too soon.
