The Michael Ryan Solution: Why its great that he is running for Butler County Commissioner

Out of my most recent articles, the one that has received the most attention is the one I did on sky taxis, specifically the products that Joby Aviation, right up the road in Dayton, Ohio, has ready to go straight from the concept of the Jetsons to practical applications now in 2025.  There are places in the world right now, within a few months of this writing, that will take delivery of these sky cars and make them part of their expanding economy as a new transportation option.  This is not science fiction, but indeed the next generation in personal transportation, and I have proposed that it should be Butler County, Ohio, the home of perhaps two future presidents very shortly, that should be leading the way on this exciting new technology, because honestly, someone in the United States is going to do it, and do it soon leaving everyone else to catch up later.  It is much better to be a leader in something new than to be a come-lately, especially in the way that Butler County, Ohio, is evolving as one of the tremendous technical centers of the world.  I talked to Vivek Ramaswamy recently about his plans as governor, and these eVTOL aircraft concepts will be a natural extension of what he wants to do in the state.  New economies form around new technology, and probably there is nothing newer than these air taxis.  Soon, they will be everywhere; most people will use them just as commonly as people use cell phones, and the world will be much more interesting and faster.  At the State of the State speech from Governor Mike DeWine this year, 2025, even he mentioned what Joby Aviation was doing in Dayton, so this is very much a technical reality waiting for some bold people to be the first, and I have been trying to encourage people in Butler County to be those first bold people.

While I was at a recent fundraiser for Nancy Nix, I was carrying around a plate of food, looking for somewhere to sit down.  I had been talking too much and didn’t have a place to sit as Nancy was trying to prepare everyone for some entertainment she had for the evening.  My wife couldn’t attend that event, so I was alone and didn’t consider taking a seat.  So I was in a pickle now that everyone was sitting down.  So there I was with my plate full of food, needing a seat when Vice Mayor of Hamilton Michael Ryan and his very nice wife Amanda encouraged me to sit with them.  So, I did, and for dinner conversation, we had an excellent talk where I learned that he was planning to run for commissioner of Butler County, which is good because recently, Cindy Carpenter had been caught campaigning for Democrats in Middletown, leaving many people very angry.  So, for the upcoming Republican primary ahead of the 2026 election cycle, people were looking for alternatives, and it sounded like Michael Ryan could be it.  I have come to know him somewhat well; we pass each other at many events, and he has enjoyed my social media over the years. I have seen him stand tough in the pocket on more than one occasion, even for a pretty young person, young to my eyes.  He’s over 40 now, but I have a habit of referring to people in his age group as young, which I do to many people I deal with who are his exact age.  But when it comes to some of these new political positions, I would love to see someone with a good 20 years of work history in front of them, with lots of fresh ideas and ambition to do them.  So it didn’t take me long to get interested in his statement about running for county commissioner.

But he wanted me to sit with them mainly because he was interested in my articles on new transportation methods like Elon Musk’s Hyperloop system, which I proposed should be built in Monroe, Ohio.  Then, this Joby Aviation alliance I was talking about for West Chester, Ohio.  While Michael has been on the Hamilton City Council and has been doing a great job there, which has plenty of challenges, running for commissioner of one of the three seats requires a much larger vision for a community like Butler County, which comes with some lofty expectations.  We have had pretty good commissioners, and I had been thinking for a while that there is great potential if only we could get T.C. Rogers a second vote.  T.C. is a free market advocate, thinks right about many things, and could use a good partner as a commissioner.  Don Dixon has been pretty good, too.  They know how to make the spaghetti in the kitchen but could benefit from a fresh, youthful vibrancy.  Cindy Carpenter is listed as a Republican with the other two, but she behaves like a Democrat and has for a long time, leaving people hungry for an option.  So, Michael Ryan came across to me during this discussion as someone who might fit perfectly into the needs of Butler County.  So, given all the elements, it seemed like an opportunity to talk about some of the exciting things that could be possible if we put someone like Michael Ryan onto the seat of Butler County commissioner.

Michael and I met at a spot I think is the perfect property for a Joby air taxi service port.  There are lots of places in Butler County for something like this as a hub, where people visiting at CVG downtown could fly straight to Butler County to shop at Ikea for the day or to conduct business and stay at one of the many hotels that are within walking distance to this proposed location.  However, even within Butler County’s 400,000 residents, it is a quick way to get to Miami University, downtown Hamilton, and even Butler Regional and Middletown airports.  An air taxi service would see immediate good business and be economically viable right out of the box.  So Michael Ryan and I talked, and I filmed it so people could listen in and get to know him a bit.  It would take investors with vision to make anything happen.  It would take technical expertise to set it all up.  There are plenty of achievable challenges.  However, the most important thing to me is setting up the political infrastructure to achieve it.  Given where the Trump administration is on these kinds of things, I am confident that there would be lots of encouragement at the federal level.  This economic boon could help Middletown a lot, and J.D. Vance would like to see that happen.  His personal friend, Vivek Ramaswamy, will be the next governor of Ohio, and I know he’s excited about it.  The proposed location of Butler County, Ohio is mainly in Senator George Lang’s district, the current Majority Whip at the Statehouse.  I know a friendly trustee in Mark Welch in West Chester who could get on board with something like this.  What was missing was a county commissioner who could connect all the dots and remove the barriers so the business people could make the investments.  And after the talk Michael Ryan and I had, it should be obvious why I’m endorsing him and why I was so happy that he invited me to sit with him and his wife at the Nancy Nix fundraiser.  We had a great discussion that could grow into something truly special, which is very exciting.

Why the Museum of the Bible: To understand good government you have to understand what “good” is

Why the Museum of the Bible?  Well, that’s a long story, but as I always say about good government, whether managing a family, a business, a community, or a country, you have to understand what good is.  And there has been no more extraordinary human achievement than the Bible emerging out of Western Civilization to define goodness as it applies to mass society and personal integrity.  I’ve read all the significant works of the world’s religions and studied them in some detail, and I am pretty confident in saying that the Bible and its history have achieved more along the lines of defining good government than any other work to emerge from human culture.  So, once Trump was elected back to office, my wife and I wanted to return to Washington, D.C., and give it another chance with fresh, knowledgeable eyes.  I have never been a no-government guy or an anarchist in any way.  I would say that I have always loved government.  But what I didn’t like were the people who were drawn to it.  And years ago, during the Clinton years, I took my family to a literary conference at the Smithsonian, where I was a big part of their presentation, and the trip was a disaster.  Everywhere we went, there was some horrendous evil that ruined the trip for my wife and kids.  So any interactions I have had with Washington, D.C. over the years had to be without her because she refused to give it a chance after the city let her down so badly in the past, which was unfortunate for me. After all, once I saw the Museum of the Bible open in 2017, during Trump’s first term, I really wanted to go and check it out.  But I did not have a cooperative spouse willing to go and see it. 

But once Trump won in 2024, before his speech was done acknowledging his election victory late on election night, my wife turned to me and said that we should celebrate by going back to Washington D.C.  That’s all I needed to hear, so I started planning and we decided to go once the weather broke in early March of 2025, so we could walk around in comfort.  Since that first Washington trip, we have been to some of the world’s biggest cities and seen plenty of evil in all of them.  But what hit home regarding Washington, D.C. was that it was our city and our government, and we couldn’t stand to see how corrupt it all was.  So it was a lot more personal; other cities were other people’s places.  But with Trump back in office, a key constitutional element had been fulfilled: we did have a Republic that could correct evil by merit of votes, and the system could work and did.  Looking at the city itself from a long perspective, we see that it had the mechanisms to do everything it was designed to do, and we had survived a significant challenge never yet achieved within the human race.  And that deserved a celebration.  So for me, that means something that involves lots of books and time to read about topics many people find boring.  But I get very excited about it, which is the foundation of all law and order.  Specifically, one of the Bible’s main themes is how government should be set up. In the Book of Judges, the Israelites were supposed to have self-government, but the judges kept letting everyone down, leaving the people to cry out for a king.  So God eventually gave them one, and they let everyone down too.  And God became so angry with them that he allowed their destruction by their enemies.  A lot like what had occurred in the American city of Washington D.C. 

The Founding Fathers, especially Washington himself, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, a whole host of characters were trying to create in America a restoration of the Book of Judges, in my view based on the reportings of their voluminous studies, which I think is a very noble effort and one that does take many thousands of years to figure it out.  I felt that the election of Trump during this second term was the first real opportunity for that lofty idea to take hold.  And I think the Green family had a sense of this early in the last decade as Trump was still doing The Apprentice television show and thinking about running for President when they were looking for a place to put their idea for a museum dedicated to the Bible.  The place for it to be would be Washington D.C. along with all the other fantastic museums they have there.  But this one would be the most important because the Bible is the foundation of all Western civilization and the pursuit of good government.  The Bible is the foundation of all law and order, starting with the Ten Commandments.  Such a concept has been successful, and Washington, D.C. was the direct result of that long-established pursuit.  So, if you are thinking about such things, which I do very frequently, when there is a Museum of the Bible, I must see it.  So, upon our visit to America’s capital city, we made the Museum of the Bible our first stop for a long week, and we ended up spending two days there because there was so much to see.

I’ve been to many museums, including some of the best in the world, such as the British Museum and the Louvre in Paris, and I consider the Museum of the Bible to be among the best there is.  It’s right around the corner from the Capitol building itself and was exceptionally well done.  The whole place was put together with much love and passion for the topic.  It was very scholarly and was the perfect way to start a trip to Washington D.C. because once you understand what our government is supposed to be doing, you can’t avoid the Bible in that discussion.  So, a museum dedicated to the history and value of the Bible in human culture is the first criterion for understanding the need for good government at any level.  I could write an entire book about the value of the Museum of the Bible, but to sum things up as concisely as possible, I knew it was a special place when I entered a traveling exhibit they had called the Mosaic of Megiddo which came straight from Israel and was a large floor found in an early Roman building acknowledging Christ as a god around 200 A.D, over 100 years before Constantine made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire.  To see something like that outside of Israel and so significant only established how vital the Museum of the Bible was in the scheme of things.  As I always say, my favorite thing in the world are my Biblical Archaeology Review magazines I have read since I was a little kid.  And going to the Museum of the Bible was like stepping into that quarterly magazine and living in that world three dimensionally.  It is an incredible place, and I don’t think it will be the last time I go there.  My wife and I are members and must find more reasons to return.  It is a fantastic place worth multiple visits, and a lot of time spent there each time.  It is undoubtedly one of the world’s best and most significant museums on a topic that is the foundation of all good government, and because of that, it is infinitely important to the human race.

Dave Yost Has No Chance: Calling me a fraud won’t make an unlikable person appealing

I support Vivek Ramaswamy for the Governor of Ohio in any way possible.  I was all in before I had a chance to talk to him the other day, and after spending some time with him, I’m more convinced than ever.  For me, he’s like getting Trump to run Ohio.  But Vivek is great on his own, and he is what I would call the next generation of MAGA political candidates.  I have liked Dave Yost, the current attorney general.  But there are a lot of reservations that put him in the clear RINO category.  In a head-to-head matchup between Yost and Ramaswamy, I see it coming out like it did in 2016 with Trump against Jeb Bush.  And in the end, I think a political fight with Vivek Ramaswamy will destroy the career of Dave Yost, and I didn’t want to see that, at least until they sent me a nasty letter the other day complaining about my support of Vivek through a video I did.  I usually get a lot of hate mail, and I never come close to answering them all, but this one was different due to the content of the political fight to come, and it changed any sympathy I had for Dave Yost into primal aggression and a desire to see him destroyed.  I have been keeping thoughts about Dave Yost and what he did to the former Butler County Auditor Roger Reynolds tucked away, and this whole event resurrected it for me as a primary concern.  I’m not running for office, so I don’t have to be as nice as Vivek wants to be to his political enemies.  And as good as he is, he’s going to win the governor race of Ohio without too much difficulty.  But as I have done in regard to Trump, reporting things in context so people can feel good about voting for Ramaswamy when critics say otherwise is something I will certainly do for the future Governor of Ohio, Vivek Ramaswamy.  

So the Yost Campaign insinuated that I’m some fraud for the video I did discussing the announcement of running for governor by Vivek Ramaswamy a day before the event occurred.  They thought that was a misleading tactic because I couldn’t have possibly known that the event would be packed with supporters on the day before the event occurred.  Now, I have a lot of experience with the media, and if I wasn’t good at so many other things, I would probably have carved out a career in media myself.  But to be truthful, and I know this from many friends in the media that I have who were major superstars, the pay isn’t that great.  So I do a lot of other things; media for me is for the good of it.  Not the pay of it.  But it’s common practice to pre-write articles before a deadline and even to shoot a promo video ahead of an event when you want the material to reach audiences near or right after the event you are discussing.  And that was the case here.  In West Chester, Ohio, at CTL Aerospace, we had a big announcement rally for Vivek Ramaswamy that ended around 6:30 PM.  My blog is read daily by many people who want to know my thoughts on the latest topic. It goes up every day at 7 PM.  So I had to have most of it ready to go to beat my deadline.  I could adjust any changes to the reporting beforehand.  But for that article and video, I talked about the things that I knew were going to be true.  And I would know because I was one of the organizers of the event.  

A pretty dumb idea on their part. But it’s a free world.

Before the weekend of Vivek’s announcement on the following Monday, the 24th of February, I knew that there were 1200 RSVPs who had gone online to indicate they were coming and to be put on the list.  I also knew the space we had set up for Vivek was only supposed to hold 500 people.  So, doing the video announcement I did for the event, I knew it would be very crowded.  And as it turned out, it was worse than I said.  There was a line down and around the building and as people were trying to get in I had more than 500 text messages and phone calls between the hour of 4 PM and 5 PM, which I couldn’t take, because I was talking to Vivek Ramaswamy along with a few other people about what was going to happen during his speech.  It took me two days after the rally to answer most of them.  I never got to some because I wasn’t sure who they all were. But the ones I did know, I eventually, at least, answered.  I was at the Dave Yost announcement for Governor when he did it at the Elks Club near my home in Liberty Township, and it was nothing like this.  Dave had difficulty getting more than seven or eight people to stand in line to get a picture with him.  There may have been a few hundred people who came; honestly, I felt sorry for him. To support him, which I planned to do until Vivek came along, I knew that Dave Yost would have a significant enthusiasm problem.  He just wasn’t very exciting.  He acted like an out-of-touch politician who put on a cowboy hat to appeal to the meat-and-potato people, but he had an assumption of doing the time and a pretention of entitlement that he deserved to be Governor and that the Republican party owed it to him.

Senator Lang, and Secretary of State Frank LaRose endorsing Vivek Ramaswamy at CTL Aerospace

There is a lot of good stuff to discuss regarding Vivek Ramaswamy, and I certainly will.  I’ve met him several times, and at this event, he had a good memory of some of our history together.  The reason he chose CTL Aerospace is because of a story he shares with me, and Nancy Nix, George Lang and a few others at the start of his decision to get into politics, which I knew before his speech, was why he was coming back to start his run for governor at that location.  So we had a good talk, and I got to know his wife a bit more than in the past, and let me say, she is solid goodness in every way you can imagine.  She is sharp and very friendly.  I like the Ramaswamys as a family and as people, and it is those kind of people, if they want to, who should be in tough jobs like the Governor of Ohio.  Vivek is the kind of political figure I have been looking for in these positions for years, so I’m going to get fully behind his campaign, and that’s why I was one of the event coordinators and venue providers.  I personally liked Vivek before his announcement, in a very personal way.  And I am more supportive after hearing his speech if possible.  And to my way of thinking, Vivek is a lot nicer than I am.  And I would say a lot more forgiving; anybody who gets in the way of him running Ohio must be destroyed.  And if Dave Yost wants to go there, or his not very smart people, then that’s on them.  They can deal with the aftermath. 

Not to get into personal details, I normally don’t talk about things I say in private with people, but this is probably important in regard to Vivek Ramaswamy.  When we were talking, he asked me, “Rich, what do you want from me?”  I said to him, “I want 16 years out of you.  8 years as governor of Ohio.  And 8 years as President of the United States.  And at the end of it, you won’t yet be 60.  That sounds like a pretty good life to me.”  And he said, “Yes it does, let’s see how all this goes.”  And to all that, I will do my part to help see that it all goes well.

Under Jerusalem: Why Trump has a right to build wonderful hotels over the Gaza Strip

I have a mild obsession with the city of Jerusalem, so there is a lot to talk about regarding the modern Middle East policy where that ancient city is concerned.  The claims that Islam has over it are very recent, and it’s a simple math problem to work out as far as territory rights.  The Arabs of Islam didn’t come along until about 600 A.D., after the fall of the Roman Empire, so claims to the area had long before been erased by the Greek and Roman Empires over a thousand years before.  But before Islam indicated any claim to the area, especially around the Temple Mount, the most hostile piece of real estate on planet earth, the Hebrew people were in the region over three thousand years ago, 1600 years before the creation of Islam as a religion.  I believe there was a very technological civilization in the area before any of them, including in North America, as it was global, and the only remnants of it are in our modern understanding of astrology. These people were large- what we call giants and had a very advanced civilization before and during the Ice Age. They used an astrology-like scientific approach to conduct a society that our history books do not yet understand.  And they were at the Mount Moriah area for tens of thousands of years before the Jews considered settling it.  One of their obvious artifacts of reference is Rujm el-Hiri, or Gilgal Refaim, “The Wheel of Giants,” which is so big you can see it from space, and it’s just west of the Sea of Galilee in the Golan Heights.  When we talk about Goliath and his family of giants, who King David killed in battle, we are talking about the last of their ancient species, which is how Jerusalem was founded to start with, as David built his city there and started the location that would eventually become the temple of his son, Solomon. 

I have a very nice map that shows the small mountain range that runs between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, and all these mountain peaks that are now covered by three thousand years of human history, built one on top of another, take up those high lands.  The caves under the Temple Mount and Jerusalem were there long before anybody else.  There are biblical kings, and others, who added a human touch, but there is a lot going on under Jerusalem that is very ancient, and doesn’t get talked about much at all.  And is at the heart of the dispute in the Middle East.  Do the Palestinians have any claim to the land?  What is behind the aggressive talk Trump has put forth about making the Gaza Strip into an American free enterprise zone?  Should the nation of Israel have ever been created after World War II?  The argument is that we are violating the indigenous claims of the Arabs in the area, and they use the aggressive stance of Islam to drive away legitimate claims to history that the Jewish and Christian people clearly have a right to.  More than that are the even more ancient cultures that we should be studying, but we can’t because of modern religious territorial squabbles that have no relevancy in the context of things.  The history of understanding isn’t on a scale of acceptable criteria.  Buried under all this religious history is a truth that is earth shattering and is at the heart of the whole problem.  And it’s in those caves under the Temple Mount where Mount Moriah held significance long before Abraham tried to sacrifice Isaac there on that Foundation Stone, or from Islam, Ishmael.

I had the rare privilege of reading the book Under Jerusalem by Andrew Lawler, The Buried History of the World’s Most Contested City.  I’m not one who constantly complains about how dumb archaeologists are and how they deliberately cover up the past with their discoveries.  I get the game. They have to hustle to get funding, and the people giving them money want specific validation discovered with the digs.  So, there is a lot of politics in archaeology.  My favorite thing in the world is my Biblical Archaeology Review magazines, which I have been getting since childhood. I love reading about what archaeologists discover in the Holy Land.  It is stunning how many feet of earth have been built up after three thousand years of people walking the streets of Jerusalem, and just how far under the modern city are the remains of the walled City of David.  In some cases, we are dealing with 30 to 40 feet of ancient dirt, sewage, and garbage that has built up to become the modern ground.  City streets in Jerusalem are not at the same level as they were during the time of David or earlier.  And to get to the foundation layers of Solomon’s Temple, you would have to dig deep.  The Second Temple period by Herod was 1000 years later, and many feet under even that period.  Dirt comes in off people’s shoes over time, and it builds up slowly.  And that’s just how old these sites are.  But I’m saying that even with all those considerations, there are tens of thousands more years of history in that area.  So we should be digging a lot more, giving archaeologists a lot more respect and money, and we should be openly prepared for what we learn during the adventure of discovery. 

As to the Islamic claim of the Temple Mount and their abuse of the Jewish people who had the first claim on the land after they conquered it from the pagan worshipping Canaanites, they are just the most recent culture to claim it for themselves.  They won’t let archaeologists dig under and around the Temple Mount to provide proof of the Jewish heritage.  But then they claim that there is no proof of that Jewish heritage because it’s buried under 40 feet of soot because their time on Mount Moriah is so ancient that nearly two thousand years had to pass before Islam became a religion.  The conflict and claims over the territory are entirely based on historical perspective, not a pursuit of the truth that is buried under layers of history on a range of small mountains that have been occupied for tens of thousands of years and of which the proof is in those caves under the Temple Mount.  What we know about Derinkuyu, just to the north in Turkey, is that that underground city was dated to the same period as Solomon’s Temple and even much older in some layers of it.  And, of course, the nearby Gobekli Tepe, dated in the 10,000 BCE range, has the same kind of math technology as the Rujm el-Hiri at the Golon Heights to the south.  So what does all this mean?  Well, Islam doesn’t have a legitimate claim to the area, not where they can demand that their heritage is more important than all this ancient history.  And when they say, show me the proof, they can’t play games by denying dig permits and funding for the truth to be found.  I would say that under the Mount Moriah complex is all the proof anybody needs.  But Islam doesn’t want to know because then it would erode their political claims in the area and destroy their modern aggressions.  Because they don’t want to see the truth.  As many don’t because they are afraid of what they suspect to be the case. Giants ruled the earth and had a technology that was far more sophisticated than what we are achieving in a modern way.  It was a different technology but undoubtedly very sophisticated and global.  Eventually, we must admit to it if we want to advance.

The Tariff’s on Mexico, Canada, and China: Stopping the looting of Marxist countries and their unearned merit

Let’s do some basic math to understand the genius of Trump’s economic proposals of using tariffs to replace internal taxation, and to put the wealth that America generates back to the people who make it, not the leeching socialists, communists, and Marxists who have been living off America for over a century with unearned merit.  President Trump is talking about getting rid of the ridiculous Jekyll Island progressive income tax system that was devised in 1913, which generates around 2.4 trillion dollars a year.  The new proposed tariffs for Mexico and Canada are around 25% to deal with a trade deficit of around 200 billion dollars for each country.  DOGE is discussing cutting around one trillion dollars from the budget, which I think is a very conservative start.  There is much more to get, but it’s a good beginning.   And with China, Trump is imposing a 10% tariff on top of an already maintained limit of roughly 10.1%.  So there is a long way to go to get all these countries up and over 20%.  And we haven’t even started talking about Europe, specifically the EU, and the lack of support they all have poured into NATO, which we have almost funded at 100%.  Socialist economists, just about everyone coming out of the university system, can’t get their minds around this.  But essentially, enough money would be generated to take America back to wealth levels before the creation of the Fed and the Internal Revenue Service.  Enough money will be generated to create an External Revenue Service, allowing us to eliminate the federal income tax and replace it with better revenue generators. 

The problem with Jekyll Island was that it was created by very wealthy people who were globalists in their assumption about where the world was headed, and it essentially planned to use the United States to fund a one-world government off the backs of Americans.  And even if America were left a carcass in the end, it would be, from the socialist point of view, for the greater good.  And that’s where we find ourselves today.  Only, they never planned for Americans to ever put someone like President Trump in office with a promised platform to undo it all.   I think the Jekyll Island participants were trying to do what they thought was right when they came up with the Federal Reserve and the Progressive Income Tax system.  But most murderers could also justify their crimes in the same way.  It sounded like a good idea then, but upon reflection, over a century later, it was a disaster.  And we’re tired of it.  What Trump is talking about doing is brilliant and well-needed.  It will be earth-shattering for the world.  It will cause some short-term disruptions in the supply chain and profit margins.  It will drive up prices a bit, but that’s OK.  There are a lot of costs that will snap into shape quickly, and people will be pleased with the result.  We have needed as a nation to cut ties with all these socialist and communist countries who, by design, were set up to loot and pillage American capitalism to choke it off and destroy it and call it good, friendly international relations. 

Watching Justin Trudeau speaking from Canada about the pending tariffs was quite a spectacle.  That Canadians would cry over tariffs from America, which would undoubtedly be painful for them, indicates how out of touch they have always been.  They have existed off the good work that America has produced, which has allowed them to spread Marxism to every corner of the planet while not paying the price for too much-centralized government.  In many ways, Mexico has enjoyed the same liberties, which is why the country is run essentially by drug cartels.  Their trade imbalance with the United States has allowed them to make bad economic decisions because if they stumbled and fell, it was the United States that always picked them back up.  It is through the theft and looting that China has gained superpower status from emerging as essentially a third-world backwater armpit of a country, as it was during World War II and would have easily been conquered by Japan if America had not intervened.  The same people who put together the plan for Jekyll Island are the same type of investors who propped up China to become a world power of dominant communism and the global, centralized government model.  And these efforts are over a century old, but they didn’t just start there.  They emerged with the Marxist movement as soon as transportation allowed for easy travel and communication from country to country.  Globalism planned to loot off the success of America, steal American wealth, and redistribute it through centralized government to every corner of the world.  That is the hard fact of centralized banking and their intentions at Jekyll Island.  It was an early form of predatory lending to destroy the host for some lofty investment in social construct.  China didn’t earn its wealth; it was created by the very same global investors who purposely tried to destroy America without firing a single shot in a military campaign.  And President Trump is doing as he promised he would upon re-election; he’s stopping the carnage. 

America’s best years were around 1870 to 1913.  After that Jekyll Island mess, everything started going downhill from there.  And it is back to those policies that President Trump is proposing to return.  This is the period of western expansion, gold coming out of the west, railroads, and great optimism.  It’s why progressives want us to think of that period as an imposition on the American Indian.  At that time, boatloads of Marxists were stepping off ships in New York from Europe and trying to convince everyone what a brilliant idea Karl Marx had.  Because Americans were personally wealthy, compared to other places in the world, they could afford to listen, and the poison was injected into our political system, which has stayed there for more than a century now.  However, President Trump is finally starting to remove that poisoning from our political and economic systems.  And it will happen quickly because the value of what is made in the world primarily comes from America—and consumed.  So goes America, so goes the world.  It might take a minute to untangle the mess given to us.  However, Trump’s tariffs are the first step toward a much more excellent economic recovery package.  Not one that looks at the 80s and wants to replicate Ronald Reagan.  However, one that steps back to the 1870s, the period of Reconstruction, where more people of all places and colors could elevate their lives through personal wealth than had occurred at any point in history.  The economy Trump is proposing to build and do it quickly will be the greatest that history has ever seen anywhere in the world at any time.  But best of all, these countries getting tariffs to cover trade imbalances are all losers who have adopted Karl Marx’s thoughts about economic development.  America is turning away from that garbage, and it will force those other countries to do the same, or they won’t be able to compete.  They have avoided that fate up until now because America funded their communist fantasies.  But with Trump’s moves, that isn’t happening anymore.  And that is great news ahead of an exciting future.

When Police Break the Law, They Have to be Punished: The J6 prisoners never should have spent one day in jail

I said it right after the event; everyone can look up all the videos and see what I wrote then.  I always said that the January 6th incident in 2021, when people were upset at election fraud and stormed the Capitol Building, had to happen.  I didn’t understand why everyone made such a big deal about it.  After all, there was a government that just stole an election to perform a coup against President Trump, and they thought they were going to get away with it like some backwoods third-world armpit of a country.  A certain percentage of the population needed to express their anger in some way, and in this case, it was by letting the government know that the people’s house was theirs and that they could take it back if they wanted to.  Now, there are all kinds of things wrong with that day, especially among the 26 FBI agents who spread out through the massive crowd around the Capitol to bait people to break the law so that they could call the whole thing an insurrection so that they could blame Trump for it and in the process, destroy his political life from then on.  When a massive crowd showed up to hear with some hope, Trump’s last speech to them ahead of certifying the election results, the FBI, in coordination with Nancy Pelosi and others, plotted with some bait to push these angry people into a collective action that they could use to club the MAGA movement over the head and deter any further protests against the government coup.  And some people broke windows and acted in a manner that I would never do.  And a few people died and got hurt.  But my attitude about it all then and now was, what did anybody expect to happen?  The government stole an election and took away a president people liked.  They were lucky that was all that happened, “they” being the government.

So it had to happen that Trump pardoned all the poor people who were thrown in jail for the last four years just over a government trying hard to stay in power through intimidation and force.  When the government breaks the law and controls how the law is interpreted, you cannot have a civil society if law enforcement doesn’t enforce the law but provokes themselves into breaking the law and uses the law to cover up their crimes, which was what happened on January 6th, 2021.  We have a Constitution that limits the power that government has, especially specified in the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments, and the January 6th prisoners had all those rights violated unjustly.  Their due process was deliberately violated, and what was done to them was completely unforgivable.  Law enforcement should expect people to fight back if they violate the protections people have from an out-of-control government.  Democrats have been saying that Trump should have never released with a pardon most of the J6 prisoners because they assaulted police officers.  But when police officers break the law or the enemy captures your legal society, what are you supposed to do?  The plan by the government was to capture our legal system and then break laws by controlling the enforcement.  And they thought nothing of using the January 6th incident to put people in jail to send a message to the rest of the country that if they were thought to be involved, even remotely, in a plot against the corrupt government, they would have their rights taken away from them and would be jailed as a message to the rest of the world.  It was nasty stuff.

I would never do anything like the J6 protestors did.  I would fight it out in court.  As much as it is fun to fight back and even justified, I do much better with my mouth than any other method, and I would use it instead of violence.  I’ve been in enough of those things to know that my mouth is the best weapon against corrupt people who aren’t nearly as smart.  I had a lot of talks with people who wanted a lot more violence that day.  I even took serious steps to join the Proud Boys after the stolen election in 2020, so I know those guys pretty well.  It didn’t work out; I’m too cerebral to march around in a pack of volunteer ground troops. I wanted to join to help to lead them to good things.  Not to be just another face in the crowd.  So it didn’t come together, me joining the Proud Boys.  But that’s how it was after the election, and I had to explain to many people that the best way to club these people over the head is with lawfare of their own.  Trump understood that even if he knew what the government was doing was wrong, he had to follow the rules to later enforce the rules.  A lot of the reason things are working so well now is because Trump played by the rules, and the people elected him back to office.   We all had to thread the needle pretty well to get to this period because there were a lot of people who wanted open violence and another Civil War against the government, and I can say I did all I could to maintain peace during this challenging time.  But many people were ready to fight, so the government was lucky that all that happened was all that happened. 

Anybody in law enforcement has to understand that if they take orders from the bad guys, we don’t have a blank check society that is going to take it.  We give law enforcement the authority to be treated with respect.  But it’s on them if they lose that respect through improper behavior.  I can say this: I served this past year as a Forman of a Grand Jury, and we did a couple of cases where the police abused their authority in collecting evidence for an arrest.  I could see from the testimony that the police officers were frustrated with their investigation into a drug house.  They knew the criminals were dirty, so they pulled a couple of them over for an improperly functioning turn signal.  And in the process, they found all the drugs and evidence they needed to make the arrest.  Well, most of the members of the grand jury did not agree with me, and they moved not to indict because they didn’t like to see an abuse of authority by the cops to use a traffic stop to make a significant drug bust.  I was disappointed, but I understood their reasoning.  Respect for the law is the only way to keep our society functioning.  But when the bad guys capture your law and order society and attempt to hide crimes behind their control of the system, don’t expect people to put up with it.  And that was undoubtedly the plan behind J6.  I would say that the government was lucky they got away with not having more violence applied to them.  If law enforcement seeks to abuse the law, they should expect the public to get angry and respond.  We don’t expect to respect the law and authority no matter what.  However, we give away that privilege to law enforcement on a conditional basis, and that contract is to keep their powers limited by the Constitution.  Suppose they violate that contract, as they did over the stolen election in 2020? In that case, people will take action to restore those limited powers to the theater of expectation.  And the government should be happy that more people didn’t lash out than they did.  I would do it differently, but I understood their reasoning, like those grand jury members I mentioned.  And that is certainly the case with the J6 prisoners.  They should have never spent one day in jail.  Who is going to give them back their lives?  President Trump was very correct in getting them out of jail.  Because if he didn’t, our legal system would be much less effective if we let such an injustice loose to maintain a polite society.  No, we must do what’s right, even if things get a little pushy.  The J6 prisoners had every right in the world and an expectation to do what they did.  The government broke the law and used it to hide major, massive crimes.  And they are lucky that they are still around to have a legal discussion.  It could have been much worse.

A Shadowman, a Knife and a Dead Rabbit: The politics of the spirit world

The thing I spend the most time thinking about is the politics of the spirit world.  The political motivations of demons, kami, and jinn depend on what culture we’re dealing with worldwide, whether in the Orient, the Near East, or the West.  Every culture has a reference to such creatures, and I’d say that science is finally starting to root them out of mythology and to understand them and their residence in quantum physics.  Like all living creatures, they have a political system that is alluded to in the Bible, the Quaran, and almost every religious document ever known.  In Jewish tradition, these are the Elohim, the Divine Council of God, who have always been there.  They work and plot against God, and our lives are often the battlefield of their designs and manipulations.  I think about the role that they play in our lives and what their politics are as much as I do think about Republicans and Democrats in America and sovereign nations around the world fighting it out against communists.  So when Aaron Rogers gives interviews about a shadow man who looms in the distance wherever he goes, holding a knife and a dead rabbit, I don’t think he’s crazy.  This has been a problem for him since he started going to ayahuasca sessions in Peru and started what many people believe has ruined him as a professional football player and put him in an over-the-rainbow status of the loony asylum.  But I don’t think he’s crazy at all.  I’ve seen plenty of shadow people like Aaron Rogers has seen, and I don’t do drugs in the least.  But when Aaron Rogers started taking ayahuasca from the shamans in Peru, seeking meaning in his life like so many do these days, he trained his mind to see things that were always there.  Only now is he seeing it in a way that many did in the Bible and starting a relationship with the political order of scandalous demons who are always lurking just beyond our perceived reality.

When I hear Aaron Rogers tell the story, it’s obvious to me what happened.  You might take the same route to work every day and not see a Cybertruck that parks somewhere along your standard drive.  But one day, you start thinking about buying one because you saw an advertisement or interacted with one in some way that caused you to start thinking about them, and suddenly, on that same route to work, you start seeing that one parked in that parking lot.  It was always there, but your mind switched to seeing more than your eyes were trained to see under normal conditions.  People who take ayahuasca, I think, aren’t hypercharging their brains with psychedelics and inspiring their imaginations to see illusions.  But they see more of what is always there, which looms in quantum physics.  We see lives that are always there but exist outside our dimensional reality. Interestingly, when the world’s noise was less, people had much more open relationships with the spirit world than they do now.  The Bible is filled with such experiences, as are most religious texts.  I have witnessed on a mass scale how the Japanese honor the kami of the spirit world on almost every street corner in even their most cosmopolitan cities.  Everywhere are shrines to the spirit world, hoping to appease their help and avoid harm from their strange political order, which looms through our lives in various ways.

I think one of the most significant pieces of literature that pulls mback the veil to this kind of activity is the excellent book of the Apocrypha, a book I think clearly should have been part of the general body of work that is the Bible, the story, the Testament of Solomon, as in King Solomon, son of David, part of the line of Abraham and a hand-picked king for God to lead his people in the hostile promised land where there was a battle between Baal, Moloch and the Hebrew God Yahweh.  Many times, I’ve told the story about my obsession with King Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem and why they built it there.  There is a lot to think about regarding that Temple and its place in the narrative of the Bible.  The story goes that King Solomon had his temple built by jinn, the demonic spirits that are so openly talked about in the Quran, the same thing we call demons in Western culture, and essentially the same characters that you find in the streets of Japan in the kami.  Solomon is given a ring that controls the demons and makes them do what he needs them to do.  Otherwise, they are always working a kind of mischief quite pronounced in their political order, which seems to always run at the cross purposes of our lives.  They use us for their political games that have an inspiration beyond our standard line of sight.  So Solomon uses this magic ring to force the demons to his will, and they build the Temple of Solomon, today’s most contentious piece of real estate on planet Earth.  Solomon blew it when he wanted to sleep with one of his many thousands of wives, and she demanded that before he touched her, he sacrifice five grasshoppers to her god Moloch.  And for that, God got mad, split up the kingdom between Solomon’s sons, and the destruction of Israel started for this original sin. 

I’ve been to many of the great cathedrals of Europe, especially the one in Canterbury.  I have had an obsession with the Canterbury Tales most of my life and a deep longing to live in the world of James Joyce’s Finnegan’s Wake.  In all these places, I see the deep fear of what happened to the human race, which was what essentially happened to King Solomon.  There is a deep desire to hope that Jesus can save all humanity from this aggressive political order.  The characters are very terrifying and are in every culture of the world, but like the Tower of Babel story, everyone has had their impressions changed enough that nobody cooperates.  But why?  How did we arrive in those conditions?  When you study how Democrats have played the Saul Alinsky game against Republicans for many years, you begin to understand.  They learned their tricks from the demons of the spirit world and used their strategies in our conscious reality.  And like Trump is now doing what King Solomon failed to do to the world, the aggressors are always there.  And they have political motivations that look mysterious to us because we don’t usually pay them much attention.  But in cases like Aaron Rogers, who punched hyper-reality into his brain with ayahuasca on occasions now from the shaman in Peru with that strange brew common there, you sometimes see these characters from Solomon’s stories and his downfall, chasing you around with a knife and a dead rabbit.  They are not there for our benefit but to use us for a massive overthrow of the world as they know it, and we are learning about, in quantum mechanics and a linear timeline that is all at once, ever-present.  I don’t think Aaron Rogers is crazy.  He is waking up to a reality incompatible with the perspective of a human life.  However, a reality that we all know and fear looms outside our observable reality and is vulnerable to motivations only they understand in their politics of the spirit world.  So if you happen to see a shadowy man holding a knife and a dead rabbit chasing you around, don’t be surprised. 

I understand Melania’s hat. She knows………it’s time to turn the tables

The Reality Beyond the Blue Pill: It costs a lot to live a red pill life

I have had to explain many things this year because the questions keep coming.  I have a sales gear where I can go around a room and talk to people.  But anything beyond the first layer of conversation I usually stay away from because it essentially comes down to a blue pill versus red pill kind of thing, and there is a cost to the latter.  In the movie The Matrix, which I have referred to a few times over the last couple of decades, I think they best explained the difference between a blue pill life and a red pill.  For the blue, it’s all about the feeling of connectedness with other people that blue pillers strive for.  A sense of being plugged into the world around you comes with a nurturing feeling.  Knowing what Jake down the road is doing with his new lawn mower comes with a sense of belonging, and most people in the world want and need that feeling.  In the movie, we call those people blue pillers.  But if you want to see what’s really happening, you take the red pill.  And it’s then that you realize that all humanity is a giant computer program and that the forces that want to control you use this kind of matrix to harvest your mind and thoughts and that the roots of all tyranny come from this exchange.  For most people, they don’t want to know.  They enjoy being plugged in and could care less about actual reality because the illusion makes them happy.  But then you have the red pillers always looking for the truth.  And once they know the truth, they can never go back to the blue pill life.  One interesting thing about President Trump, which is evident after his second inauguration, is that he genuinely likes people.  He is a very social creature, and you would have to be for a job like that.  There’s a lot about Trump that I personally understand.  But for me, anything beyond the surface of talking with people gets very painful, very fast. 

Usually, in a crowd, I stay in the back of the room and just let people talk because there is no way to turn off the firehose once I start talking.  That is another reason I write these articles every day.  I care enough about people to give them whatever truth from my perspective they can handle and at whatever rate they choose.  But I go cold quickly to engage in a conversation about the details of human interaction.  I’m not interested in how to make a brisket or what social compliance score someone’s kid has managed to gather toward social acceptance because, as far as I’m concerned, those things are all part of a grand illusion connected to living life.  But I’m only interested in what real life is about beyond that connection.  And in that way, the reality is different for people depending on whether they are blue pillers or red pillers.  If you take the red pill, you can see a lot of stuff behind the scenes.  You will have great insight into the truth of reality.  But the cost is that you can’t often share it with people.  When people would rather talk about the illusion, such as the cost of a new lawn mower and who just bought one, or where little Suzy is going to attend college after their parents saved their money for more than 15 years to send her there, there isn’t any room for discussions about the matrix they are all plugged into which prevents them from understanding the forces that are working against them. 

Due to the end of the year and all the social engagements that come with Christmas, New Year’s, and Inauguration parties, I was often asked what kind of music I like to listen to.  The discussion usually spawned from classic rock examples, and people noticed my indifferent face.  They’d ask me, “who’s your favorite band?”  And then there is an awkward pause.  “I don’t like anybody.  I don’t listen to music.”  At least not in the way that they do; I see music as a purely blue pill experience.  There is a reason that so many songwriters are druggies and seem to be inspired by some hidden hand felt only through intoxication.  And that the political order of a massive civilization of ultra-terrestrials that exist outside of our four-dimensional reality feeds off our sentiments and passions in ways nobody seems to understand and that the way they harvest off our emotions is through popular engagements like music, where people feel compelled to dance to a catchy beat.  That’s when the eyes go blank, and everyone looks at you disdainfully because they don’t want their blue-pill reality shattered.  The correct answer would have been, “I like Led Zepplin or Stevie Ray Vaughan.”  I can never give an answer like that.  I put up the most recent viewership to my blog site, which is up over 80 million these days.  I get a lot of emails for which I only have time to read or answer less than 1% daily.  But people usually take a peek, or they follow diligently.  But they don’t have much to say in response because it comes down to a red pill thing, and it’s not for everybody. 

I wouldn’t trade away a red pill life for anything.  The insight you can have from that perspective is extremely valuable.  But to have it, you do have to disconnect from the illusions that we all are born under.  I think of it best from the Book of Ephesians in the Bible.  It is one of my favorite parts of the Bible because it was written by people who were functioning from the red pill life and trying to display it for the blue pillers.  The Matrix movie puts it successfully into crayon for everyone, which is artistically functional.  I know a lot of people these days are starting to want to peek behind the curtain into the psychedelics of the ayahuasca experience.  The football star Aaron Rogers has been going to South America during the off-season to speak to the plant teachers and give people the firehose of reality just lurking outside our reach, which makes him sound pretty crazy.  People naturally think he’s fallen off his rocker.  And people, through intoxication, get a sense of that reality just beyond our site.  And I would say it’s very dangerous, but if you peel back the layers just a bit, most people agree that something mysterious is beyond their reach, which is terrifying.  To hide from it, we have developed reality, which essentially is being plugged into the blue pill life.  Sports scores, music, food, the consumables of culture.  And it provides insulation from an actual reality.  But I can’t do it; those lives just aren’t compatible.  And there is too much that is valuable in the truth of reality.  But most people don’t want to know about it, or they can’t afford to learn.  They might be interested in small doses.  But they blank out if there is anything more than they can handle.  So, there isn’t much to say under those conditions.  And that’s why I usually don’t have much to say when the content is a blue-pill conversation.  Once you peer at reality for which it is, which also the Dune books do a good job of considering, the world of the Bene Gesserit order, who built a kind of Matrix existence to rule all humanity while the actual reality existed outside their manipulations.  There is a cost to seeing beyond that order.  And I wouldn’t trade it away for anything.  But the price is that most of the time, you have to sit in the back of the room and keep it to yourself because to speak too much only shatters the illusion people want to live with, and they get very mad when that happens unless they are incredibly ready for the content.  So, there isn’t much to say until their minds are correct, which doesn’t happen too often.

Vivek Ramaswamy Will Be Ohio’s Next Governor: The MAGA center of the universe, Middletown

The important lesson here is that when I tell you something, listen.  Don’t play around with debating things with me.  Just take the information I give you, do something good with it, and don’t waste time.  I told everyone weeks ago, like two weeks before Christmas in 2024 that Vivek Ramaswamy was going to be the next governor in Ohio.  DeWine would appoint Jon Husted as the senator appointee for J.D. Vance because Vance was going to the White House as Vice President.  It was more than a little irritating to watch during Trump’s inauguration that people still didn’t know why Vivek Ramaswamy was stepping away from the creation of D.O.G.E., a shared task with Elon Musk to bring efficiency and cost cutting to the government in general.   Things had changed since election day and I was letting people know about it so they could make plans.  But instead, people acted surprised by the news that Vivek was stepping away for some mysterious reason.  It’s not a mystery.  Vivek Ramaswamy is going to put his efforts behind running for governor, which takes work, and this is something that Trump wants.  In case people didn’t figure it out, J.D. Vance was being positioned to get some wins early in the Trump administration because he was the picked candidate to be the next president.  That’s why he’s so young, and when Trump was doing all the ceremonial stuff for the inauguration, it was clearly to put J.D. Vance in people’s minds to be the continuation of all the work Trump is about to do.  Vice Presidents are usually just background noise, but this was not the case when the Middletown High School band came to Washington, D.C., to perform at the parade, which was quite good to see.  Everything was happening for a new generation to pick up the baton and run with it, and this move with Vivek Ramaswamy is part of that plan. 

Ohio is positioned and nurtured to be the most technologically proficient state in America, an example of what MAGA politics can do for the rest of the country.  A boom looming in the background will require a person like Vivek Ramaswamy to make happen from the executive branch, not as President, but as the Governor of the State of Ohio.  Additionally, to facilitate all this, we now have two extremely pro-business senators, Bernie Moreno, and Jon Husted, to help make it all happen.  The signs for Middletown, Ohio, are already ready to place at the entrance to the city, indicating that it is the hometown of J.D. Vance, whom Trump will put on the fast track to some critical negotiations.  It’s all going to matter in a few short months, and by the time Governor DeWine steps away, and Vivek Ramaswamy steps in, we’re all going to be living in a different world.  It’s going to move, bewilderingly fast, and everyone will have to just hang on and make the most of it.  There’s a reason I even said anything at all.  I want to see people profit off the information because Ohio’s invention pace will matter much more than traditional media coverage.  Who knew what when so that the human race could advance?  Usually, in society, for something good to happen, there has to be a political will, and the point of all this Vivek Ramaswamy news is that there is a plan that comes straight out of the White House now that features Ohio as the place to be in the world for tech innovations, that only someone like Vivek Ramaswamy could bring about.

That’s also why I have been featuring the industries that will thrive under the Trump administration.  For all this time, most of the media coverage has been about whether or not Trump could ever become president again, and as Inauguration Day progressed and I had a chance to talk to thousands of people about it, it was pretty clear that I was the only one saying from day one of the Biden administration, that Trump would return to the White House and everything that happened on that great day on January 20th, 2025 would happen just as I said it would.  So when I tell everyone these things, listen.  Don’t argue with me when I talk about the hyperloop program in Ohio and sky taxi services that will replace Uber, and regenerative medicine, don’t debate me.  Take the information I give you and do something with it.  And I apologize in advance, not that I apologize for anything. We have to move fast here.  At my speed, not current culture speed.  I can’t possibly answer all the emails and call everyone who wants to talk to me.  Not because I want to be rude, but because there isn’t time in the day.  I had over 10,000 emails just yesterday, and there is no way I could read them all and still do everything I need to do.  Usually, I scan through for what looks like essential headings or people I know, and I give those more attention than the others.  But if I don’t call you back, it’s not personal.  My task is to let people know about each other and provoke them to take the following steps.  Because some of these ideas will take thousands of hours of planning and millions of dollars to facilitate, they will need champions to drive them. 

Vivek Ramaswamy is going to be the next governor of Ohio.  I have shown support for Attorney General Yost, but I’m sure there are accommodations for him to clear the way for Vivek because that’s the kind of person it will take to do all the things I mentioned and to make Middletown great again in the way that Trump wants to make America Great Again.  And it all comes down to J.D. Vance being in the White House for the next 12 years to carry on all the good work that is about to be done with Trump.  I first met Vivek at an event in Middletown, so this isn’t a new kind of thing.  Everything next-generation MAGA centers around Middletown, Ohio, and a restoration of an economy there that had been husked out by globalism.  But all that is coming to a fast end, and the things I have mentioned that are part of tomorrow’s economy only need the right people to make them happen.  And that is happening as we speak.  You might have noticed how Trump, after his speech in the Rotunda, specifically spoke with Vivek Ramaswamy and Kristi Noem before leaving.  Vivek is a rising star, not a descending one, just because he won’t be a part of D.O.G.E.  That is Elon Musk’s project.  Vivek has a different path, and it all points to a new tomorrow where Ohio, a Rust Belt state, will lead the world in a way that no country on Earth has yet.  More than Taiwan.  More than Dubai.  And much, much more than China.  But it all requires people to see the big picture, which I have handed to everyone so they can take the next steps and advance our culture in ways that have never been seen before.  Stop thinking small!

The Empire of the Snake: Why Islam will always be at war with the Bible

It’s almost comical to see modern science tell us that the Serpent Mound in Ohio was built by Indians when they could barely get up each day to eat food.  About an hour east of Cincinnati, the Serpent Mound is one of the most mysterious places on earth and is revered archaeologically as high or higher as the Great Pyramids of Giza.  What makes Serpent Mound so astonishing is the very advanced mathematics and knowledge of the stars that it would have taken a culture thousands, if not millions of years, to develop.  Admittedly, I have been to the Serpent Mound site lots of times.  I have even gone there to think and get away from the world’s chaos on really bad days.  If I’m having a terrible day, don’t be surprised if you find me there reading a book, or looking at some crop circle that sometimes happens across the street from the park entrance.  When I go to Serpent Mound, I think about many things, but it’s never about Indians.  The site was never intended to be a burial mound for a ceremonial culture.  But a reference to the stars and, specifically, the constellation Draco.  It truly has an ancient feeling to the place that is bizarrely intelligent, not the sentiments of a hunter-gatherer culture.  Even more mysteriously, the entire site is built on the edge of a massive crater left over from a crypto explosion many millions of years ago.  So, how did they know where to put the Serpent Mound when there isn’t any evidence to the naked eye of this explosion?  The people who pay reverence to the site with the construction of Serpent Mound would have had to know what the geology under the ground would eventually show, and that is the alarming part of the place and the peek back in time toward an entirely different global civilization that nobody has yet figured out because they are asking all the wrong questions about the evidence that we do have.  We had a global civilization of star worshipers who used to build earth effigies that contained very advanced mathematics.  And something happened to them that was very traumatic. 

It’s coming up a lot lately because of the recent terrorist attack in New Orleans from a radical practitioner of Islam; what is the primary difference between the Christian Bible and the Muslim Quran?  That’s an interesting question because both religions have many of the same characters, so how could they have such a radically different approach to the world?  One pronounced difference is that Islam and Christians have almost the same Adam and Eve story, except in Islam, the Devil is the villain.  In the Jewish and Christian faiths, the snake gives Eve the apple and tells her to eat from the knowledge of good and evil.  The more you dig, the more it is realized that the religion of the Arab people, the same descendants of Mesopotamia, and the original antagonizers from the Land of Canaan were these same people.  And that Yahweh’s fight against them traces back to this essential difference.  In Islam, the snake could be a jinn, a helpful or harmful spirit.  This view of snakes traces back to an Empire of Snake worshippers who had an obsession with star worship and traumatic crises culturally when it comes to the memory of the constellation Draco, Sirius, and many others.  Things get wild when we consider that Thuban, the pole star, lines up with Serpent Mound from approximately 3942 BCE to 1793 BCE.  And if that was the only case with those dates, we might assume somebody made a mistake.  But this same kind of math can be found in the Pyramids, Stonehenge, and even at another giant earth effigy just to the south of downtown Hamilton, Ohio, at the Fortified Hill complex, which during the same period lines up to the constellation Pleiades.  If you want to check it out for yourself, just visit Pyramid Hill Park, and you’ll get a fascinating perspective on the scale of our subject. 

To Islam, the snake is beneficial, just as it is viewed in most cultures of the world with ancient reverence, especially in the Orient, where serpents, dragons, and all species of snakes are seen as helpful entities, not enemies.  But to Western culture, dragons are to be slain.  Snakes are the embodiment of evil.  And to this very day, at the center of conflict between Christianity and Islam is the reverence of the snake and what we should or shouldn’t be doing with them.  For the same reasons that modern archaeologists can’t figure out the Serpent Mound’s relationship to the constellation Draco, they are looking for Indians who would evolve even to begin to understand those kinds of things. What they miss is a clear understanding of the kind of rebellion that Yahweh was advocating for, which is clearly expressed in the Bible as a crisis against the global power of snake worship that inspired the conquest of the land of Canaan to begin with.  And that’s where things really start to get interesting, especially when the most common theme that emerges from the use of psychedelics in religion shares a relationship with snakes as one of the primordial terrors that come from visits to the spirit world today.  Practitioners of the ayahuasca experience that shamans from South America utilize and have become very popular, know what I’m talking about. Most all experience snakes as dominant figures in that hidden kingdom.  And it looks like it was primarily psychedelics in the form of mushrooms or other plant-based agents that helped form the basis for the world’s religions.  And Yahweh was rebelling against the Empire of the Snakes, not submitting to them. 

Therefore, we had an entire world that traded with each other for obviously tens of thousands of years.  Probably much longer.  They did not behave as modern scientist lazily concluded, and that is as hunter and gatherers who migrated to North America from the Jomon people emerging out of Japan and crossing the Bering Strait without any advanced knowledge of the greater heavens that wasn’t at the center of their worship, a crisis for them in great turmoil yearning for celestial bodies.  I have also been to many Jomon sites in Japan, dating from 14,000 BCE to around 300 BCE. Many of their artifacts can be found buried offshore when sea levels were over 400 feet lower during the Ice Age.  All this matters in understanding the vast difference in Western civilization, how it works, and why the East is and will always be at war with it.  Islam is a religion of the East.  Their concepts of the jinn, evil spirits, are almost identical to the Japanese kami and the spirits of the Indians.  And they all stand, just as the land of Canaan did, against the advancement of Western civilization and its blaming of the snake for all that went wrong in the world, as opposed to an artificial Devil as Islam does.  And with that straightforward distinction, we see the root cause of much of the trouble.  The Empire of the Snake is old and global.  It took a rebellion to stand against it and overthrow it, which was captured in the Jewish stories about the conquest of the Land of Canaan and why that was necessary.  It also explains why those who still worship the snake have so much trouble in the world and why Western civilization can be said to be so much better.  Because the anxiety of snake worship never took that global civilization to a healthy psychological place.  We will find the same crises once we land on other stars, such as Mars, and find ourselves homesick to beliefs that resonated from those faraway places.  Only to have a religion come along and fight against that ancient reverence and deal with what is before us in a psychologically healthy way.  At the heart of that, we can then understand why Islam will always be at war with Christians because, for them, the snake and its old empire is a cry for home, a sense of belonging that they will never have again.
