Lifting the Curse: What we must do in 2024

One of the key ways that the enemies of America have been able to erode our ethical values as a society is by attacking our morality once it has been exposed. And we are made vulnerable to this trait once attackers gain control of our basic needs for survival by controlling our means of income. That is the entire strategy of the Desecrators of Davos, the global tyrants of the World Economic Forum, and their propped-up bad guy, China, to rule the world through a communist plan. The more they have been able to attack the basic value system of Western Civilization, the more control they have been able to exert over individual people in a cultural, mass way. That is why I have said often lately there are things in life that I clearly won’t do for money because if you are functioning from an ethical behavior, then automatically, the bad guys lose a tremendous amount of leverage over you by nature. This is, after all, what the whole Epstein Island extortion racket was all about. And I can say, and I’d like to share that freedom with other people, that the best things in life do not come just from the most income. Not that wealth is bad. But wealth that is tied to strings attached that people in the World Economic Forum control is bad, and often results in a loss of freedom. Sure, you might have large sums of money in the bank account, but if the bank can take it away from you on a whim, then what you have isn’t yours. So we have to fight these bad guys with all that in mind. Over the last few months, I was offered a few seven-figure opportunities that I turned down. The reasoning was similar to an old story I love from a great book, Myths and Folklore of Ireland, by Jeremiah Curtin, specifically “The King of Erin and the Queen of the Lonesome Island.” What makes Western civilization so great is that our culture, cascading off of biblical tradition, produces great art that represents real values, which are at the heart of this specified story. I think of this story when people ask me why I turn down offers like that. And I offer it to other people when we discuss what should or should not be done to acquire wealth, and the traps that often come with it by the tyrants of the world that want nothing more than to control you and everything you care about.

I highly revere Irish literature, especially the kind attributed to the King of Erin and his love interest, the Queen of Lonesome Island. It’s a good story about some ill-fated characters who find each other romantically inclined, but he’s married to an evil queen and has a couple of illegitimate kids with her that he thinks are his own. So when he has a kid with the Queen of Lonesome Island and grows up to reconcile with his father and compete with these other siblings for the father’s attention, the mother’s love, and the rights to a kingdom, the setting is set for a grand adventure. One of my favorite books in the history of the world is Finnegans Wake by James Joyce, which I consider to be written in the language of the Elohim. I don’t think it was meant for human eyes and ears. But to the Divine Council and their rebels against goodness that thrive beyond our ability to see them. Yet they are there with massive armies of malice; to deal with them, we must have some intellectual capacity to accommodate them into our thoughts. And many of these Irish stories do just that. With that tradition in mind, the young prince, trying to reconcile with his father, is told to save his kingdom by going to the flaming well of Tubber Tintye and retrieving three cups of water from that golden castle, currently under a dark spell that has corrupted the world, kind of like our current times with the Biden administration.

After a series of adventures, the prince arrives at the castle where all the giants and monsters plagued by the curse are asleep for seven years, a recurring numerical theme we see in the ancient world.  It is certainly present in the Bible, but it traces back tens of thousands of years to pagan religions obsessed with star alignments and heavenly bodies’ mathematical comings and goings.  So the prince plans to get into the flaming room of gold to get water during this 7-year period when all the monsters are asleep.  So he comes to the hall in the castle that has thirteen rooms along it, more numerical significance.  The thirteenth room is the destination, and along the way are rooms with beautiful women in each one, twelve rooms in total; these are the twelve disciples, the twelve months of the year, the relationship to eternity, and the universe in general.  As the young prince walks toward that thirteenth room, he looks into the first room door and sees the most beautiful woman he has ever seen lying there invitingly.  He is tempted to go in but resists.  He’s there to accomplish a mission and tries to stay focused.  This would be equivalent in our current time to China offering to pay off a politician or to send a honeypot to your hotel while out on a business trip, hoping to get dirt on you. 

The prince goes to the next room, and in that room, he sees a woman who makes the previous woman look ugly by comparison.  And so it goes all the way down the twelve rooms, each with a much more beautiful woman in them.  Until he gets to the thirteenth room, where he sees the most beautiful woman ever created by the universe. This is the Queen of Tubber Tintye, and she is sleeping on a golden couch, spinning around the room around that well of fire where he is supposed to get his water to save his kingdom.  The prince rests for the next six days (these are the days of the week leading up to the Sabbath), gathers his water, and then leaves to save his kingdom.  But first, he leaves behind a polite letter explaining to the Queen who he is and what he has done.  After another six years, the Queen wakes up and sees a baby about six years old playing there on the floor, waiting for parental guidance, so she is angry to know who gave her a baby.  After some searching, she finds the letter and learns about the prince.  The story climaxes with the death of the evil queen and her two manipulative sons.  All the bad people die, which is just a great story.  The King of Erin is reunited with his real love, the Queen of Lonesome Island as the Queen of Tubber Tintye lifts the curse over all the land.  The young prince marries the Queen and is now the king over Tubber Tintye, and everyone lives happily ever after.  But why? The prince resisted temptation and stayed true to his purpose in life.  And while he could have stopped by that first or second room and had relations with what he thought at the time was the most beautiful woman in the world, he would have given up entire kingdoms in the process.  But he saved the world because he held out, resisted temptation, and stayed focused on retrieving the golden flaming fire.  And in so many ways, that is how we will defeat evil now.  Only the burning well is our upcoming election of 2024.  And we must stay on point to deliver our society from evil and slay the parasites that stand in our way for the betterment of all humanity.

China’s War with America and the West: An economy of deception meant to completely destroy us

I must point to several articles I did on Unrestricted Warfare, as indicated by China several years ago, for the present context to be understood. But for all those peace lovers out there who think there is some concession that can be utilized in the world to have good relations with China, you are all smoking crack. China has been at war with America for years, and our politicians have been too stupid and compromised to do anything about it. But this is a different kind of war, one that attacks explicitly our weaknesses, with the same intent of social destruction, but to exploit our love for attention, security, and peace. And the most dangerous characters in a war like that are not the Chinese nationals who might work at your local Chinese food restaurant making you sweet and sour pork. It’s your neighbor who slept with a Chinese honeypot disguised as a political intern who turns out to be a Chinese spy. Or the businessman looking for a World Economic Forum invite to the next event in Davos because they planned their business expansion around the communist Chinese economy. Or even the local newspaper, which is owned by a big conglomerate that has been looking at the market opportunities in a country that has over 1 billion people in it, who all are like slaves to overly imposing parents. The best war and the most effective tactics are to fight your enemy in ways that are so deceptive that your targets don’t even know they are at war. To say we have all been gullible is a vast understatement. The war that China has waged on us has taken advantage of the greed of weak people and turned them against our nation for the purposeful destruction of it. And we’ve let it happen primarily unchecked.

You can look at the massive amount of drug use that is going on, which is purposely embraced by our political culture these days because they are all compromised in some way by the hidden war of globalism that has put China at the head of the table for all kinds of tactical reasons. These are not the days of Nancy Reagan’s “Just Say No” campaign, where drug use was understood to be dangerous to society. In the war of today, that is the point. Poison people in a trade-off for quick and easy feel goods, and watch your enemy destroy themselves with attrition. You don’t even have to fire a shot. And with the open borders that we have, there is little to no restriction of that poison coming into America, primarily from the weaponized drug cartels that are flooding our streets with deadly poison meant to kill us. In almost every cultural category, you will see the aggressive influence of China penetrating that field, buying up our assets so that they can manage the decline. I’ve pointed out that you can see this influence most in Hollywood, especially Legendary Studios, where China became the owner of that traditional Warner Bros. branch to make communist propaganda movies, and people have noticed. They’ve stopped supporting the Hollywood product, but one way or the other, China was going to either destroy Hollywood or the consumers of the product, hopefully both. They have conducted a purposeful campaign of destruction to kill outright everything resembling Western culture, and they are purposefully deceitful in their actions. But when China tells Biden that they are going to attack Taiwan right to his face, you can bet that they will. They had planned to all along. And Biden has no choice but to let him because if not for China, Biden would not be in office, and his family would likely be in jail prosecuted for their many crimes against our nation.

To comprehend their viciousness, all anybody has to do is look at the medical trade journals, such as what we saw with the Lancet during COVID-19. There has been a lot of talk about Bill Gates and Dr. Fauci using trade journals to manipulate the public away from COVID treatments and toward their vaccine development, which was meant to gain control of society in general with centralized regulation. The vaccine push as we know it now in 2024 was to convince people that they would need the government vaccine to stay alive if they wanted to live. China, in partnership with deceitful traitors in the American government who leaned left and wanted communist China-style politics, built Covid as a bioweapon. They maliciously manipulated COVID through gain of function to become transmissible to humans, which was the whole debate between Dr. Fauci and Senator Rand Paul, so that their deadly virus could spread to humans and bring the entire world under the foot of a communist government led by China. All this and much more is chronicled in the excellent book by Robert F. Kennedy, The Wuhan Cover-up. We’re not talking about a conspiracy theory book here; we’re talking about a severe presentation of a legal prosecution against American traitors, by the thousands, who have been working to bring us all under the submission of the Chinese military intentions. And they have been using their wealth, given to them by money managers like BlackRock, to conduct a war of destruction against every living American through their manipulation of our colleges, finance institutions, and particularly trade journals like the Lancet, which allowed Gates and Fauci to use advertising dollars to trade reputation for military effectiveness so that Covid would do maximum destruction as a bioweapon, and prevent society from learning they could have taken hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin to stop it.

When it was observed that every news organization and trade journal followed the “established norms” of the Lancet during the Covid crisis, you can see China’s massive influence in owning so much of corporate America.  Employees at those organizations needing a paycheck quickly fell under complete compliance and would determine that the truth could be shaped to be anything that China wanted it to be.  And when anybody said “trust the science,” what we were seeing was China exploiting our messaging with their propaganda to destroy our society essentially, and they didn’t care if people died along the way.  This is not a war that most people are prepared to deal with.  But it’s the kind of war that China, which is still a backwater economy only propped up by globalist investors with leftist ideology fantasies of a centralized authority utopia, wants to fight.  It’s the only war they are prepared to fight, and they have now been conducting it for a long time by targeting weak people of power in America and buying them off with easy money and sexual compromise, and they have been doing it by the millions.  The worst troops in this war are not the troops marching in the square in Beijing.  They are your neighbors with a full bank account and a retirement pension built off confiscated wealth from Chinese money.  And the intent is ruthless and deadly.  And we saw just a hint of their intentions with Covid and their network that is well at work in America for our ultimate destruction.  Compromised assets like Joe Biden will do anything they say because, as the Biden laptop has shown, the Biden family is a compromised asset.  That’s how China does it: they buy up senators and members of Congress with a tradeoff, such as sexual favors or money that comes easily to those willing to steal to get it, and in trade for those fun and nice things, lowlifes like Biden will become their loyal servants.  And we’ve seen the result, which is purposeful and intentionally destructive at every level.  Their intent for our destruction is even worse than you can imagine, and then some by using an economy of deception conducted by research whores to destroy us from within, without firing a shot.

‘Magnum Force’ is the Best Movie to Understand in 2024: No, you aren’t crazy, it was the world that went in that direction

It wasn’t always how it is now; there used to be good movies, and they were far from woke.  And it surprised me when Steve Bannon brought up one of my favorite movies on his podcast, the Warroom, at the end of the year in 2023 because I don’t hear many people who even know what it is.  But it reminded me of several things, one of which is the answer to all the woke options out there.  Going into 2024, the best movie ever made that deals specifically with the 2024 election is Magnum Force, with Clint Eastwood from the five-movie Dirty Harry series.  It is a unique plot that deals with police corruption, crime and punishment, and doing the right thing while society is trying to drag you into doing all the bad stuff.  It also reminded me of how I raised my children; every year on New Year’s Eve to bring in the new year, we would watch the Dirty Harry marathon, where we watched three of the movies on New Year’s Eve, then two more on New Year’s Day.  But among them all, my favorite of the five, was Magnum Force, and still is.  So it certainly got my attention when Steve Bannon recommended the movie on the Warroom.  Magnum Force is about that fine line between right and wrong and features a group of cops who go rogue to eradicate the bad guys, which has evolved into real life dramatically in the current FBI, CIA, and other intelligence agencies as discussed through the Trump administration’s exposure of their various antics.  It’s much worse in real life than in 1974 San Francisco when the movie occurred.  But the problems are the same and people can watch those movies and see how things have gone wrong today because those movies were warnings all those years ago of what was coming. 

When people ask me, which happens every week, why I’m not in the movie business, the answer is that I wanted to make movies like Magnum Force, and Hollywood isn’t built to accommodate those movies anymore.  I think it’s great that there was a period when movies like Dirty Harry movies were made, and they certainly provide a quick check that we are not all crazy compared to how things are now.  I used to show the film to my kids and their boyfriends, then spouses, every year, not just for entertainment but to show them how values have evolved and that America was once a place that made movies like Magnum Force to express ideas through entertainment that were valuable to the audience.  When we look at what San Francisco has become, the warning signs were always right there, and they were apparent to me when the world was still good and made sense.  I was showing my kids these movies to close out a year and usher in the new one to teach them values, which looks to have worked.  They are emotionally solid people even now, even the tag-alongs who emerged from those relationships.  They might have thought of me as old fashioned at the time, a dad showing them old Clint Eastwood movies that were much slower than the quick-cut movies of today filled with woke messaging.  But they watched them to appease me and to spend time with me.  And even now that they are in their 30s, it’s become a running joke in our family that they still remember and value. 

What’s so special about Magnum Force, directed by Ted Post and written by excellent writers, is that it deals with corruption and how it happens, either by the side of the criminals or the cops who are supposed to enforce the law to keep society together.  Clint Eastwood’s Dirty Harry character finds himself locked in a vice between those two forces, representing the very fine line that often presents itself in these cases that is more than realistic.  When I was growing up, I wanted nothing more than to make my movies using Magnum Force as an example.  But I was so frustrated with the business because it had changed so much that I moved to other things.  My brother lived in California for a while and has some producer credits, so we know what we are talking about when we say it; they don’t make movies like Magnum Force anymore for many reasons.  One big one is that movie writers are too busy getting lattes on the Santa Monica Pier rather than living life and letting that experience show in their art.  Most of these young people don’t even know how to shoot a gun because they have grown up in such a woke period.  They don’t have the experience to write a gritty crime drama like Magnum Force because they don’t understand the complexities of life, so how can they write about it?  But compared to what’s being made today, Hollywood is way off the mark.  But it wasn’t always that way.  If you want to see great movies, they used to make them.  You don’t have to put up with the crap they make now.  You can always watch the old films about real problems unfolding way ahead of their time. 

I did run into someone who knew about these old movies, even though it’s a mild influence.  But someone noticed that one of my carry guns is a Smith & Wesson .500 Magnum, the most powerful production handgun in the world.  It used to be the .44 Magnum by S&W back in the days of the Dirty Harry films, and I always found his reasoning for using such a large weapon for police work compelling.  I carry an S&W .500 Magnum with the extra long barrel, over 8 inches, because so many of the bad guys these days are wearing Call of Duty body armor they can get off Amazon, and they can get armor for their cars, so it makes sense.  You don’t want bullets bouncing off windows and off of people, even in populated areas where people could be hurt subsequently.  You have to hit what you aim at, which is a theme of the Dirty Harry movies in general, which are about so much more than movies made now are.  But for a sanity check, most of America used to think in the way that the Dirty Harry movies are represented, and I would argue that they still do.  Watching them now, they are much better than the garbage produced in Hollywood.  And I would say that you have options if you are looking for entertainment and a way to understand the themes and actions coming at us in 2024.  Watching Magnum Force will be far more valuable than the nightly news.  And you may learn something.  It had warnings that people scratched their heads at in the past, including John Wayne, who thought Clint Eastwood’s character was too cynical and not “pro-American” enough.  But as we have learned over the next 50 years, what the Dirty Harry movies were all about is what we see now.  And it can be scary unless you know how to walk that fine line, which is the point of the movies entirely.

The Three Wise Men, The Elohim, and UFOs: What the heck was Tucker Carlson talking about

Tucker Carlson always did reports on UFOs, as he was interested in the subject when he was on the mainstream news. But now that he’s on X as a news platform, he has the freedom to cover subjects I knew would make him a much more powerful voice. And UFO subjects come with a kind of stigma where just mentioning them throws the conversation into a conspiracy territory that abandons rationality from the outset. It’s then that you know that many people have been up to no good because UFOs are probably the most significant story worth discussing. They undoubtedly exist; we can see them and often do. Yet for Elon Musk to say that humans will become an interplanetary species for the first time in 4.5 billion years invites scrutiny. How could a person like him not know, who has spent so much time looking into space, studying the surface of Mars and the Moon, and listening to every story from every astronaut who has talked openly about UFO encounters, especially Buzz Aldrin’s descriptions of what they found on the moon? Undoubtedly, much of the anxiety of our times is that these long-held secrets are getting out. Mass media and decentralized discussions have made it so, probably not part of the plan. And now, the world forces are scrambling to keep themselves concealed. Because in concealment comes power, people are always terrified of what they can’t see. Once they realize what something is, they are much more prone not to be afraid of it. So, the UFO stories have a natural inclination toward authoritarian rule by those who can broker such information. And that power has a lot of desire to be maintained. So what did Tucker Carlson, newly freed from Fox News, mean when he said that UFO stories had a spiritual element to them that he found terrifying?

Time and definitions are often shaped by tyranny

I read an excellent book over the 2023 Holiday season called The Magi, which was about the Three Wise Men, or instead, the people who brought three gifts to baby Jesus, and what the nature of the star that led them there was all about, and even how translations over time and various cultures, and languages can undoubtedly create a haze of folklore that means different things to different people.  Tucker Carlson is a good and serious reporter who has been doing investigative journalism for a long time now, so when he admits that his view of UFOs is that they aren’t necessarily coming from Mars and are very ancient, what could he mean?  This is a good reason why we should talk more about the Jewish word for God called Elohim rather than the other words we have misused.  The word “god” does not give us all the information we need to know about Divine Council politics, their motivations, and how they interact with humanity.  It even further gets interesting when you take the reports of ayahuasca users and apply their experiences to UFO abductees.  They have remarkably similar stories to tell, and I find it quite stunning that Peruvian shamans from remote villages high in the mountains paint descriptions of UFOs visiting them under the influence of psychedelics because they have no point of reference to draw from.  All this opens up a discussion I think we all need to have about what we know about these things and how long we have known it, particularly in how power has ruled over humanity, and the cost of that power toward human intellect.

I think there is enough compelling evidence to discuss the Bible as a chronicle of UFO stories during a time when nobody had a stigma about what they were, including the Three Wise Men story of Christmas.  We have defined what they are to keep humanity under control.  But if we are looking for the little Martian from Bugs Bunny cartoons, we will likely be very disappointed, and Elon Musk may be right about humanity with some wordplay added in.  What you see isn’t necessarily what something is if you have been convinced it is something else.  For me, the more proper way to talk about UFOs is to discuss the role that the Elohim have played in Jewish culture and to consider that supernatural events aren’t so unusual but have been expected.  It has been our experience that was limited and our vision suppressed so that what we did see and when we saw it and reported it through literature, art, or entertainment, skepticism followed so that those who wanted to maintain power, either through the spirit world, or the material world, could remain in power and pull their strings to make humanity dance at their whims, maliciously as has often been the case.  The first step in unraveling this story is to treat UFOs not as unusual but as standard and not recent but ancient.  And they may not be “something else” from “somewhere else,” but they are us as we have always been and continue to be everywhere.  It has been our wrong definitions, not our observations.  And they were unfit to control us and for no other reason.

As I said in Elon Musk’s statement on space, we will deal with these problems now. Going to space is the right thing to do.  With the freedom of speech that the X platform gives him, reporters like Tucker Carlson will be able to report these UFO stories in new and unusual ways.  Ultimately, we will discover that they are very ancient and that we have a past connected to the rest of the universe in very complex ways that all our mythologies and religions have failed to capture correctly.  When we get into space, we will learn what all these astronauts have been seeing, and we will have to deal with it from an archaeological perspective.  And it’s not something for us to fear because it was us all along, and we have been interacting with these Elohim since humanity could write things down to remember later.  The desire to continue to fear visits from outer space by aliens is a lust that governments have to grow and protect us from.  But the more we learn, the less there is to fear.  And the more we realize that all along, the powers of the world have been lying to us and having us worship ancient pagan gods and maniacal political figures from the Elohim who do not have our best interest in mind.  And they are losing their cover story of deceit, which has always been part of their interactions.  So what will happen then?  We will find out, as Elon Musk said, about Starship’s role in taking humans into space.  We’re going, and we need to.  And what we learn is what we should have known all along.  Our ancient past isn’t well understood, and the ramifications of that purposeful ignorance will undoubtedly play a role in the future of politics on Earth as it is in Heaven.  Heaven isn’t necessarily somewhere else far away on a cloud somewhere, but in our backyard, and it was always there, as Jesus said, that mankind did not see it because they weren’t looking at it correctly.

The Epstein Island Client List: A Deep State game embracing sheer evil to take over the world

I don’t understand pedophilia at all; there is nothing that can make it acceptable in any way, especially in the novel Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov.  This is the name of Jeffery Epstein’s flight to his private island in the Caribbean, which is the subject of so much talk going into the year 2024.  The talk is that around 170 names from the flight record are going to be released and that big names like Prince Edward and RFK Jr. are going to be on that list, naming them as attendees to the island known for its sex with underaged girls set up by Jeffery Epstein and his partner Ghislaine Maxwell who is currently in jail, convicted of sex trafficking.  You might remember that Jeffery Epstein, they say, was killed in prison.  Perhaps, but I believe he and Osama bin Laden are playing video games together somewhere in a CIA safe house after fulfilling their social roles of a scandalous nature.  After what we have seen out of these intelligence agencies with their open coup against Trump, the election fraud in many elections, and the release of the bioweapon COVID from a lab in Wuhan, China, I don’t trust a word that they leak to the media.  And if a list is released, you can bet that it’s a controlled leak, that the more detailed information is far worse, and that what we will find out is meant to take the edge off the truth.  They are throwing a bone at the public due to massive public pressure to attempt to control the expectations of what the government does.  Everyone already knows that Bill Clinton flew to the sex island with Jeffery Epstein, including many other big names like Bill Gates.  For me, with the number of people I talk to in a week, I’m likely dealing with people who feel the same way and enjoy that book, Lolita, and it bothers me a lot to realize that there is such an evil openly loose in the world and that so many people do accept it. 

I never understood why the book had such a following and that it seemed to empower the rich and powerful toward an almost rebellious propensity to scandal and evil.  In the book, a college professor becomes sexually obsessed with a 12-year-old girl who becomes his stepdaughter during the story.  I find it bizarre that such a thing would ever be published as it is more than controversial, but then again, with evil loose in the world the way it is, perhaps not.  And that the publication is purposeful, for the full effect that Jeffery Epstein looks to have been an intelligence agency asset intent to control society on the high end, and books like Lolita gave people the gateway admission to themselves that their feelings about pedophilia were perfectly alright, and that they could take that plunge into the abyss without fear of social castigation.  The situation is so bad that we now see this movement going mainstream and that the shock of this current link from the client’s list on the Lolita Express has another motive altogether: to normalize pedophilia the way that an illegal fourth branch of government views the world.   This is also why there is a war against Christian judgment and the Jewish people to eradicate the kind of judgments that would scold practitioners of pedophilia.  Instead, we are now being told by our government employees that such a thing is okay in our public schools.  That we are the ones who are sick in the head for having judgments.  This trend has gained momentum over the last several decades, culminating in this exact moment, and it’s on a collision course with a brick wall.  It’s OK to judge people for the evils they do, and we need to judge a lot more often and openly.  The scandal is wanting to have sex with underaged people.  Not in judging it as bad and ill advised.

But what was the point of the Lolita Express and the Epstein sex island, where young girls were recruited into underaged sex with hand-picked clients?  Well, I think the best example in entertainment is the movie The Firm with Tom Cruise from several years back, based on the excellent John Grisham novel.  Once the Tom Cruise character joins a respectable firm, his wife and he think they have made it big.  He is invited to a training retreat to some exotic island paradise and is treated like a king with his new company.  As things usually go at these kinds of things, which is the purpose, he ends up sleeping with a young woman who was there to seduce him and get compromising photos of the main character, all for the point of controlling him as a new member.  The plot line is that by the end of the story, Tom Cruise has to come clean with his wife because the secret is destroying him as a person, and the plot then continues into becoming an escape from the Firm rather than a member of it.  That is clearly what is going on at Epstein Island; members of an elite club meant to control the world through globalism were taken to the island to enjoy sexual fantasies in exchange for dirt on each other so they could all be trusted to support institutionalism rather than their individual morality. 

It’s the same kind of behavior that we see in hazing rituals, especially in college, where new members are expected to debase themselves as individuals and be resurrected as members of the group.  That is precisely the psychological effect of joining the military.  Once you get off the bus, get your head shaved, and put on the uniform, you are then the property of the United States government, and they let you know that in boot camp, explicitly.  As a result of all this, very few people make it into their 30s without having their individual character in some way crushed, and they behave as slaves to those systems for the rest of their lives.  This was clearly what Jeffery Epstein’s role was as a broker of sex to important clients who were seduced and utilized as participants in sinful undertakings.  The social stigma keeps everyone in a tight-knit group where secrets are necessary not to spook the public with sheer audacity.  But to open up that Pandora’s Box, the scandal of Lolita was the mechanism used to keep all these secretive members in check, just like in the movie The Firm.  There is no escape from this because we are dealing with the fourth branch of government, not just a law firm that is very prestigious.  We are dealing with a vast evil here that extends well beyond the client list of people who flew on that plane, names we all know who shape the world we see through entertainment and business.  What might have started as an innocent backrub by underage girls given to middle-aged clients looking to resurrect their corrupted lives with another chance at youth ends up as an extortion racket to empower a deep state illegally manifesting power in secrecy toward an apparent attempt to take over the world in foundations of sheer evil.  And if they are releasing the client list now, it’s for a strategic reason, not one of morality.  They have so little respect for us that they believe they can manipulate us at every level, and they are attempting to do so audaciously with this information, or lack thereof.

The Assassination of William Cooper: Yes, the government kills people to stay in power, and to acquire it

Just like the way to treat alcoholism is to admit that you have a problem, we must admit that we have a vile, criminal government that will kill people to acquire power before we can ever hope to reform it. A good lesson for that viciousness is the assassination of William Cooper just a few months after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, where Arizona police gunned him down at his front door. Bill Cooper is the author and father of Behold a Pale Horse, which is the Bible of the truther movement and the origin of many conspiracy groups and militia efforts. This is an important admission because what we know now about the intentions of the government in developing and deploying the bioweapon COVID-19 was that they were perfectly willing to kill many innocent people to stay in power. Many of these government agencies aligned with health care professionals controlled by the funding mechanisms of people like Bill Gates were so threatened by the Trump administration and the prospect of a second term that they made their move in many malicious ways in 2020 and the only way to get your mind around just how bad it was, Bill Cooper wrote about it in that classic book, which has turned out many years later to be excessively true. They had to kill off Bill Cooper in an effort to conceal what they were up to which has led us all to this current juncture. But to understand all that, you’d have to understand a bit about how the police were provoked to have that shootout with Bill Cooper, with arrest warrants thrown together over relatively minor charges and tax issues. We’ve seen what intelligence agencies are willing to do to prosecute President Trump. But back in the 90s, we were still naive to these things. We didn’t want to believe our government could be this vicious. But it was, and usually is wherever unchecked power is allowed to grow intended.

I read Behold a Pale Horse in college over a collection of breakfasts. In those days, that was my favorite time of day. I was not into the nightlife of campus life, and I loved to get up early, as I still do, and have breakfast and read books. I had a favorite spot in Coryville just off the University of Cincinnati campus that overlooked the parking lot to Kroger. I loved to people-watch and study human behavior, so I would get up early and go to that place for a nice omelet and read books for about 4 hours each morning before everything in life got off to a start. William Cooper’s book had just come out, and I found an early copy and enjoyed reading it the way I would enjoy reading exciting fiction. I like to know what people think is interesting no matter what, so I tucked that information in my back pocket to draw from for many years after that. I had just worked for the Perot campaign against Bush and was not happy to see the Clinton administration come into power. So, Bill Cooper’s book Behold a Pale Horse had an edge to it that I could relate to at the time. And would make a lot more sense over the coming years. As the Clinton administration went to work quickly to undo America for the benefit of globalism, a pattern of behavior was obvious, which was at the core of Cooper’s warnings. First, there was the gunfight at Ruby Ridge. Then there was Waco. Spawning from that was the Oklahoma Bombing. The rise of Rush Limbaugh on the radio. And a Clinton administration that is remarkably connected to the current Biden administration in priorities and behavior.

In the mid-1990s, it was revealed that Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were also fans of William Cooper, who was, by comparison, an early version of Alex Jones.  After the publication of his book, Bill was running a small radio program that was growing in popularity and it was reaching the ears of militia groups, as revealed in the trial of the Oklahoma City bombers.  There is a lot more to that Oklahoma City bombing that involves a third terrorist and the government itself, but that is for another time.  We eventually saw the buildup to all this with 9/11.  But at the time, the Clinton Administration was looking to attack talk radio, specifically Bill Cooper, as a way to get Rush Limbaugh off the radio, much the way the J6 prisoners were attacked as a means to expand the role of centralized government.  It’s a game that has been going on for a long time and has become worse, culminating recently with the COVID-19 bioweapon.  Taken in isolation, it would be hard to understand, but observed over a long period, as I have done, everything makes a lot more sense.  The government exerts power, and a few people respond to it negatively.  Those people are made examples of in order to justify massive government expansion that has direct connections to the globalism movement, the intentional growth of government to protect the efforts of international corporations and banks to rule from beyond sovereign government authority, for all kinds of malicious reasons.  To justify that government growth, they attacked people most poised to stand up to them, which is how William Cooper found himself in a gunfight with authorities.  He killed one before he was gunned down in a bloody heap leaving fans everywhere angry and distraught. 

Conspiracy theorists tried to piece together all the pieces, and for a long time, they looked pretty kooky.  Nobody wanted to be called a 9/11 truther, as the media called them, because they believed that the government was behind the efforts to destroy the World Trade Center, and explicitly Building 7.  But there are lots of people who have done tremendous amounts of research, and these operations just so happened to conveniently destroy massive amounts of evidence in the game of globalism.  People like William Cooper were not inclined to believe the government’s justification and were the first to ask the fundamental questions that mattered.  But because there was a fight to kill the voices of people like Bill Cooper and Alex Jones, along with many others, Covid-19 happened.  The malicious nature of it is well chronicled in the Robert F. Kennedy book The Wuhan Cover-up, which every human being on planet Earth should read.  That’s the level of evil we are dealing with and how bad and global it has always been.  I’ve been reflecting on the big picture lately because we are in this 2024 election season, and we witnessed the massive election fraud to keep Trump out of office and what the governments of the world have been willing to do to stay in power, such as release the Covid virus after they spent years making it for the particular purpose of what 2020 was all about, a Great Reset as designed by the World Economic Forum.  My enjoyment of the book Behold a Pale Horse went from a casual curiosity on a college campus to a stern warning about the future that has been valuable.  Because once the dangers of government were well out of the bag thirty years later, it was more obvious to see than if I hadn’t exposed myself to the warnings of that generation.  And they turned out to be right, and now, in hindsight, their killings make a lot more sense.  That’s all a government can do to stay in power when they are up to no good.  They get rid of those who most criticize them, hoping nobody else will notice for fear that the same thing might happen.  And that is a truth that is hard to wrap a mind around.  Yet, it’s the truth.

‘Godzilla Minus One’: The best movie in the world

Simply stunning

Before you think to yourself, oh, there are so many things going on in the world, why do I care about a movie review for a new Godzilla movie? Well, this is something different, this Godzilla Minus One movie. It makes quite a statement, and it is currently destroying the rest of the films being produced in the world, from Bollywood to Hollywood, all places where the World Economic Forum financing has influenced movie content. I’ve been asked several times this year why I’m not out there producing and making movies, as I have wanted to most of my life. And my explanation was that the whole machine is messed up, it costs too much for unionized labor, so the budgets are wrecked. To get funding for the movies, you must have progressive messages in them. The entertainment media has been filled with more progressive political activists who set limits as to the kind of messages that get out to the public, and the theater owners’ associations are often too sensitive to all these politics to back releases. But then there are times when the market is desperate, theater owners are drowning for good content and Hollywood hasn’t given them the kind of movies that people want to see. Online streaming content is eroding the enthusiasm for in-theater distribution. So a foreign film like Godzilla Minus One gets made under the radar and gets into theaters with great passion and enthusiasm, and people get surprised. This is exactly what Godzilla Minus One is: a magnificent surprise, and what I think is the best movie in the world presently, and certainly one of the best to come along in recent memory. On a budget of only 15 million dollars, it’s everything a movie should be, and audiences are reacting to it in very positive ways, for good reason.

I wasn’t exactly planning to see the movie in theaters, I was going to catch it on Apple+ or whatever streaming service was carrying it around Christmas time.  But my grandchildren love Godzilla; it’s been a big part of their childhoods. They were talking to me about the new Godzilla/King Kong movie by Legendary Studios coming out in 2024, probably in March, and they were very excited about it.  That’s when I said, “Well, you know, kids, there is a Godzilla movie playing at Liberty Center right now.  Do you guys want to go see it?”  And I was surprised that my oldest grandson knew everything about it, and yes!  He wanted to see it right away.  So off we went to watch a movie that I thought might have some cool monsters in it.  But it would be filled with subtitles, and I didn’t know if they’d like it much.  But, being Godzilla fans, they could at least say they saw it.  Well………………what a surprise we were in for.  This wasn’t just a great movie, it was a masterpiece.  It reminded me of the many past films I have loved, particularly Yojimbo, the great Akira Kurasawa classic.  This wasn’t just a movie about Godzilla destroying Tokyo once again.  This was a very emotional film about the state of the world and the perseverance of human civilization to overcome the mistakes of governments and live their lives honorably, nobly, and without fear.  Godzilla served as the device that brought this out in people and it was Biblical in scope and magnificent in its execution.  When the movie ended, I just sat there, stunned by what I had just witnessed.  My grandchildren were thrilled, of course, but this was undoubtedly a benchmark in history that I fully realized.  Wow!

Now, I get to go to Japan, and I like to share as much of that experience with my family as possible.  I love Western culture for all its variety, but I love going to Japan because the Japanese are honorable people with self-confidence and a spirit of perseverance.  No matter how many different people I interact with from Japan, that is a foundation assumption about them.  When I need to go to the grocery store to get food and snacks while traveling, the people I deal with bow deeply when doing business and treat the meeting like it’s the most important thing they’ll ever do.  Even at the airports, everyone you deal with is highly respectful.  Walking around Tokyo or any big city, there is no crime, and everything is spotless.  The world could learn a lot from their culture, which I talk about occasionally.  Japan is a good country with good people who are persistent and honorable.  And I enjoy dealing with them on their turf.  Godzilla Minus One is a uniquely Japanese film about their culture and the value of honor as an individual.  The entire point of the movie was about living up to honorable expectations and being a good person, which has been missing so much from all modern movies filled with progressive political messages imposed by the influence of the World Economic Forum.  All that was removed entirely from Godzilla Minus One, and the film had a wonderful sense of freedom that was jaw-dropping in its relief.  I didn’t care that the entire movie was in subtitles.  It was delightful to watch. 

The main character is a Kamikaze pilot who lacked the killer instinct to fulfill his mission, so he ducked out of a fight just as the war ended.  He felt tremendous guilt about this, and it haunted him deeply.  In the aftermath of the war, he ends up moving in with a young lady and her adopted little girl, all war orphans.  None of them are related.  But the girl and the guy sleep in the same house but in separate beds.  And there is no sex.  They lived like this for over three years.  That’s not to say there wasn’t love; they grew to love each other deeply.  But no sex.  In a World Economic Forum-financed film, the girl would have left the guy after three months of no sex, which would have been the dumb plot of the entire movie.  Godzilla Minus One is about much more than sex and relationship problems.  It’s about overcoming self-doubt, becoming great, and earning the right to lead a family by conquering personal demons.  This was great stuff; people lost in the world are soaking up this message like a dry sponge.  And you know what’s best about the film?  The filmmakers had the guts to give it a happy ending, a real happy ending in every way that an audience could hope for.  The movie is undoubtedly about Godzilla, but he served almost like a godly figure, much like Job’s story from the Bible.  Without Godzilla, Job would have had no reference point.  But because of that reference, greatness had an opportunity to grow, and it brought people together as individuals to achieve beautiful things.  What a great message in a world filled with failure.  Along comes this little ray of light that is turning out to light the way for the world in ways nobody thought was possible.  Yet, there it is.  I can’t recommend it enough!

Understanding the Game: The Attack by the ‘Protocols of the Elders of Zion’

One of the most controversial books in the world. But not the work of the Jewish people.

The truth is, as the evidence points, is that the famous book, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion was written anonymously by the Khazarian mob, attached to Freemasonry, and was distributed to the world from Russia shortly after the communist takeover in 1917, and was meant to turn the world against the Jewish people so to built what we see today, a one world government ruled by the United Nations. In these attached videos, I explain the story as briefly as possible, but the necessity of it now is the point of emphasis. The Protocols was so successful for the global insurgents, who we tied directly to the Mason movements around the world, that you can see the tactic employed even against that poor kid at the Kansas City Chiefs game dressed in war paint and an Indian headdress to impose politics into even a harmless sporting event. Because of the success of that strategy, the political left and global collectivists have been empowered to continue their campaign of destruction for all kinds of reasons, and you have to understand the method so that you can understand the madness. I’ve known about all these conspiracy theories and truther speculations for many decades, and I usually find them entertaining. At least that’s how I viewed that type of information before Covid was unleashed on the world, and all these government agencies were so quick to lie to our faces about election fraud, their purposeful overthrow of a sitting president in Trump, and, of course, the utilization of Covid as a delivery weapon of mass destruction that was far more deadly, and effective than a ground assault with actual troops and weapons into our communities. Conspiracy theories can be interesting information that I have found helpful until they have been confirmed, which is where we are now in 2023. Our institutions have disappointed us because they never tried to live up to our respect. Instead, they always intended to rule from the shadows, and the conspiracies came from people who could see enough to ask questions, seeking to find out more information in the great game of information keep-away.

You will find that the Khazarian mob is located in present day Ukraine

It’s not just in international games of political dominance that these problems arise, but locally, too.  Because of all the Darbi Boddy stories in my town of Butler County, Ohio, where there is an obvious institutionalized system to destroy her as a school board member for Lakota that is almost the same as the federal and global cases against President Trump, a lot of people want to know what the connection is.  I have been pointing out that the local Masonic lodges were the next social step beyond political brotherhoods that connected the world back to the antics of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which has been used to stir up war around the world for over a hundred years now.  Most of these organizations’ members have no idea what goes on outside of their bubble of influence and consider such thoughts way above their pay grade.  But they volunteer as mindless soldiers in the cause of collectivism and the evils that come with it all too often.  A loss of freedom resulted from each war, and the government expanded to meet the crises.  That is until 2020 when Covid was a bridge too far, and people could finally see the footprints of these maniacal figures tip-toeing through the wet paint they had put on the floor, painting themselves into a corner.  The rulers of our world behind all these various group associations, such as the Masons, was that ruling from the shadows wasn’t working anymore.  It’s easy to punch someone in the face when the lights are out, and you know where they are, but they don’t know where you are.  But once you turn on the lights, you can punch them in the face, too, which is the movement we are experiencing today.  Most of these conspiracy theories are no longer fringe conspiracies; they are facts. 

But it’s not the friendly Jewish people who are the problem, just as that little kid at the Chiefs game isn’t a monster, as the media attempted to make him out to be. Or that America is racist, when it was Abraham Lincoln who fought to free enslaved people as the leader of the Republican Party. Or that Trump was working with Putin in Russia to take over elections in America and win power when it was everyone but Trump who was committing the crimes. Or that Darbi Boddy in Butler County, Ohio, was harming the district when everyone else profiting off the chaos was guilty and attempting to accuse her of what they were doing. This game has gone on long enough, and people have wanted a means to understand it, so I put up these videos explaining this long story in the briefest way possible. One I did with music and some editing to make it more presentable in its long duration. The other two are the raw video so that the information can be listened to without distractions. There is a lot of information, and I have a feeling it’s going to get a lot of circulation because people are hungry for this kind of understanding, especially when trying to understand why Hamas is trying to kill innocent Jews. If you look in the backpacks of the terrorists who attacked by parachute at the start of October 2023, you will likely find some reference to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Or a quick search history on their computers would show that they had been reading it online, which is one of the most viewed documents in the world. It’s a real problem, but it didn’t come from the Jewish people or a religion of any kind. Instead, it was written by those who wanted to rule from the shadows and manipulate the masses with terror toward the protection of a big, global government. The kind of government they are always talking about at Davos and climate change summits in Dubai.

Information is great for deciding value

Clearly, most of these characters were not strong, so they hid in group behavior, such as Masonic memberships, Bar Associations, and even political parties. The questions have been coming at me in trying to understand why RINOs are so much like Democrats rather than the conservatives we’d like them to be. Well, that’s because most people lack individual courage, and they find the American Constitution uncomfortable in that it empowers personal liberty, and the movements of Freemasonry have been to steer society toward the value of group affiliations. So they are naturally at odds with each other and can’t possibly rule as a unified government, not when group affiliations are valued by one side and individual liberty by the other. Those things don’t go together. And the desperation to hide in groups is something that some of these people will kill over, which is the root cause of much of the Covid trouble, and the belief that it could be used to steal elections on a massive scale. That belief persisted for many decades and at a significant cost because everyone involved in the writing and distribution of Protocols of the Elders of Zion had never been punished, and the government had grown massively in reaction to it. And that will continue until those scams are stopped, and we gain freedom from such manipulators because there will always be such people. Our task is to keep them out of the shadows and into the light of day with the American Bill of Rights. A free press has brought many of these conspiracy theories to the surface and made them observable facts. But until we fully embraced such devices, we were left to the killers to interpret their intentions, which they stated were for our good and the benefit of all. As we have always seen, it was just global domination using mass media as the delivery tool. This is a topic I could write lots of books about, but hopefully, this little introduction will settle things a bit for now. Let’s win our elections, ask lots of questions, and do not trust the administrators of globalism on anything!

Of course mass manipulators would have been seduced by the power of media to attempt tyranny on a global scale

2024 is Time for Harvest: Separating Good from Evil

As romantic of a notion as conspiracies might be, and they are, ultimately, many of the dark rituals to come from the following of astrology were related to the acquisition of food, such as knowing when it was time for harvest and preparing for the upcoming winter. And specifically to food supply, the production of wheat, and its use in the human diet. We forget these days just how stressful it was to wake up every day and figure out where your food would come from because food is an assumption for us in these modern times. It’s easy for us and in all varieties. But for thousands of years, right up until around 100 years ago, food was a very stressful problem, even for the rich and famous. So nurturing a good crop of wheat to the harvest was a significant undertaking, and it’s why such societies were able to make judgments of good and bad more directly because, literally, their food supply depended on value judgments just to survive. This is what the Parable of the Weeds is all about in Matthew 13:24-29 when Jesus said, “The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.” Jesus essentially said to let the weeds grow with the wheat and not try to pull them up together; otherwise, you will destroy your crop in the process. Jesus was talking about tares, which are weeds, and specifically darnel, which looks like wheat during the early stages of growth. In this case, the best way to save your crop would be to separate the weeds from the crop at harvest time, not necessarily during the growth of the good wheat. And under such a metaphor, we can look at our times and say, “It’s time for the harvest.”

Can’t let the weeds sink roots

We have allowed a lot of weeds to grow in our culture, largely out of compassion, because we live in a time when perhaps we thought we could let everything grow together. That we could co-exist with evil and that demands on our survival would not be challenged. But that was incorrect. Instead, we have allowed many weeds to take over our gardens of life and now we cannot separate good and evil so easily. Like the darnel, evil looked a lot like good, and now their roots have intertwined together as parasites threatening to kill the host crop if we were to attempt to remove those weeds as they have been growing. And like the darnel, the weeds looked like the wheat we wanted, so we left it alone to grow, unmolested. This is the problem with having a society that does not cast value judgments on the wicked and estranged intellect. Letting a multitude of terrible menaces grow into a healthy society has destroyed our culture and stunted its growth outrageously. Of course, we took it for granted because we have lost touch with the necessity of using value judgments for survival. We have entertained this fantasy that we could all get along if only we respected each other’s place in the garden. Yet in so doing, we have only harmed what’s good and allowed what’s evil to perpetuate and grow in strength, leaving our only means of dealing with such a problem to a hope that everything might survive until a harvest.

We have a lot of darnel in our society

I would point to the year 2024 and the re-election of Trump as the harvest time of our present generation.  Of course, the weeds who have been surviving as parasites of the good will have great anxiety as the intentions of the harvest are revealed, the separation of the wheat from the weeds.  The darnel of our culture, which is vast and in many forms, knows that their time as parasites is ending, and they are naturally terrified.  After all, they are a lifeform too, and they were created to be parasites living off the good, to disguise themselves to even look like the wheat of our desire so that we might not know what they are until it’s too late.  Until they are in our schools teaching children to be transexual maniacs and sexually obsessed losers.  Until our national deficit is over 34 trillion dollars, with 1 trillion added in the last business quarter of 2023.  That drugs would be sought after to numb our minds from the terrors we see, that hidden tyrannies hidden in our technology would give us no peace in seclusion.  The war against good and evil would turn everything we thought we could trust into a pitched-fork devil of ill intent.  Everywhere we look, we see weeds, and it’s so bad that we can no longer tell what is good for us or bad.  We can’t know the wheat for the weeds because, at this point, everything looks the same.  We have not tended to our gardens; we have let the weeds deceive us into thinking they were wheat, and we allow them to grow and wrap their roots around the roots of our good crop, daring us to pull them and, in so doing, to destroy everything we value.

But it’s harvest time, time to pull up everything, wheat and all.  It will be a messy process, but our fields must be cleared in the aftermath.  At that time, the darnel can be removed from the wheat, and we can distinguish value from the parasites.  Because we have yet to separate the weeds from our garden early in the process, the field has become overgrown, and there are more weeds than wheat.  So we have quite a mess to deal with.  But once the job is done, we have a clear field, and we have determined the wheat from the darnel, separating the good from the bad, we’ll have a chance to start over.  We nurture our crops by keeping the weeds out of our garden before they wrap their roots around what we value.  Always after harvest, when we see our clean fields and a healthy food supply, can perspective begin to bring sanity to our concerns.  And when it does, we must protect our wheat from infancy and not let evil wrap around our values to feed off them for its sustenance.  The weeds must be pulled before they can ever take root.  That is why we must tend our gardens and have value judgments on the good and the bad.  We must get rid of the bad before it matures into a parasite that is dangerous to the things we value, such as a food supply.  It is also in understanding such parables that evil wants to eradicate the Bible from a culture so that we can’t tell the difference, allowing evil to grow unmolested.  Such an idea was always a bad one, and during this time of harvest, one that we should never neglect again.  The Bible is full of such wisdom and has contributed to all productive human cultures.  And we’d be wise to listen before it’s too late.

An Amazon.com Pricebreak: A guidebook to capitalism to step out of the darkest period of American history

There is no shame in being good at what you do

I have had many of these over the last five years: super-secret meetings with people in the back of some restaurant or shooting range where people want to talk. Only this one was 30 or so people who were fans of my book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business and they wanted a little private class on the subject matter. I get the secrecy; I think of it as enslaved people learning to read during the Underground Railroad Period. People want to learn how to improve themselves in a world that doesn’t want them to accomplish such a task. These people were Chamber of Commerce types and were concerned about other people knowing they were meeting with me because it was a social taboo. But I was happy to attend the event and give a talk, which everyone enjoyed. But during the Q&A section at the end I learned something from the class, that my book was being offered on Amazon.com for $4.59, which is practically giving it away. Normally, most of the sales that I see come from the publisher’s website, is $16.99. When I get the sales report, it usually has a long list with all kinds of prices shown, and some of the lower numbers I had thought were likely Kindle downloads. So, I didn’t pay much attention to them. But at this little seminar, a fan told me about it, and sure enough, the book was listed by Amazon at that very low price, so low that it’s likely cheaper than what it cost to make the book. Yet I wasn’t surprised upon hearing this; it didn’t make me angry. I think it was meant to make me angry, to be very insulting to me. But my reaction is one that I’ll share here: if you can get the book for a cheaper price, then I’m happy to let you know about it.

A pretty good price

I personally like Amazon; I get a lot of books through them. I also am a frequent visitor to bookstores all over southern Ohio, going as far north as Dayton and Columbus regularly to get books that I don’t want to wait for to arrive in the mail. I read three or four per week on average, so it’s a major priority for me to have access to new books. For books that I must have that afternoon, I go and get them at an actual bookstore, the old-fashioned way. And I prefer hard copies of books because I don’t like the bad guys out there to know what I’m reading or looking at on the internet, because I am watched by just about everyone who wastes time watching people. And the algorithms set against me are outrageously difficult, for getting visibility. I frequently get offers from IT people wanting to “fix” my foundation links because my Google score is so low that people searching for me don’t find me on the top picks because of all the blacklisting I am listed under. I typically say no to all those offers because most of them are likely the same people doing the damage, and they’d love for me to make it easier for them to rob the stagecoach. Amazon does not like me politically, and they’d love to make me feel that I’m at the bottom of a well nobody could hear me from. That is a common strategy for them, so I never expected a fair shake from Amazon. They offer the book because they are a prominent bookseller and want to say they offer such books. Even if they hate that people want to read from someone like me. So I put them out of my mind and never really took the time to see what they were selling my book for, or to check reviews because they set algorithms on their server against me that obviously were not encouraging. So, I put my mind elsewhere. The sales listings tell a different story, so much so that I didn’t even notice the Amazon pricing.

There will be a major shift in the economy over the next decade

The book has been out for a few years now, so I don’t read it every day. When I wrote it, I had been thinking about the contents for a while, but after Biden was put in the White House and Trump wasn’t there anymore, admittingly, I needed to take a break from the world for a few weeks. My wife and I took our RV out into the desert of New Mexico to escape Biden and the COVID protocols that were such a dark period in American history. I knew the economy would take a hit and that corporations had been seduced by this World Economic Forum view of the world and would need a guidebook out of their wokeness. So I wrote The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, applying my favorite sport, fast draw, with a genuine love of history. I enjoyed touring all the John Chism and Billy the Kid sites in Lincoln County during the winter of 2021, which had a lot of snow on the ground, even in that part of the world. It was a very revelatory experience for me, and it shows up in the book, which, looking back on it after a few years, is very good. Like I said, I read a lot. I have just finished a few books by Johan Norberg which I think are great, but they aren’t as good in my mind as my own book. Not just because it’s my book but because the contents are revolutionary compared to the large amounts of Marxism that have taken hold in all corporations around the world. I wrote the Gunfighter’s Guide to give people a weapon to fight against that trend, which turned out great.

A large worldview helps see things more clearly

The book as I thought it would be, has been a slow burn. It’s not one of those books that makes a splash and then fizzles out. When I wrote it, I was thinking of a book I love called The Machine That Changed the World, which is about Lean Manufacturing and is filled with many assumptions about a Marxist world without ever naming the beast. I wanted to write an antithesis to that which businesses could use to improve their situations without destroying their essential character. I have read many hundreds of business books, and most of them make it a point to declare their hatred and unfairness of capitalism, which is quite obvious in the Lean Manufacturing movement, which seeks to centralize power to the people and is antagonistic toward management, which is consistent with the labor union view of the world, which is always socialist in origin. In 2020, with Trump out of the office and the world on lockdowns, corporations thought the best strategy was to play along to get along. But after three years of the Biden economy now, people are looking for answers, and many of those answers only come from a source like mine, who has made it a point to declare the answers in spite of the social poison that wants all such voices to hide for their lives under a rock somewhere. My point was never to hide but to engage the enemy as they present themselves, like a gunfighter. Fight the villains in a dusty street and gun them down metaphorically for their intentional destruction of the world. And to be proud of it in the process. As I gave my presentation to that audience, I couldn’t help but reflect on how good the book was. I’m very proud of it; it has helped people who have read it and applied it. I don’t just reflect on the times of the gunfighters during American expansion but also look to the future with AI and improved technology. It’s more of an attitude than a reverence. But the world for the next few decades is going to move much more toward capitalism and away from socialism, and already many corporate leaders see the writing on the wall. And they were looking for a translation, so we were all meeting secretly, not for my sake, but for theirs. But if I learn of a price break everyone can take advantage of to get the book, I’m happy to share it. It doesn’t hurt my feelings in the least. I like seeing people getting it, finding inspiration, and achieving success. That is, after all, the best compliment I can get and why I wrote the book in the first place, for people to enjoy and be helped by. So the more people who have it, the better it is in my mind. And at that price, it makes it very easy for people. I can’t promise that the price will stay that way, but when I hear of a price break, I certainly will pass it along.

Diversity, equity and inclusion was always going to fail in business because it’s not rooted in real social value
