‘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!

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.

The Jewish People Should Learn from History: Stop trying to appease evil

Never forget, it was the Hamas terrorists who parachuted into Israel, like a cut scene from a Call of Duty video game, and purposely assassinated innocent Jewish people just because they exist. Since then, the people who support Palestine, the original occupants of the land of Canaan that God decided needed to be eradicated for their sinful ways and given to the people of Israel, have been claiming to be the victims and have been calling for a ceasefire from retaliation.  They attack, kill, and destroy, then immediately ask for peace.  The Jewish people are one of the oldest people living on earth to this day, with a culture that has survived many tough times.  They are God’s chosen people, yet all their history, persecution of their very existence has followed them wherever they’ve been scattered to, to the ends of the earth.  So, to some extent, they have survived by appeasing all the bad guys in the world, and for Bible readers who study the ancient texts without a preconceived notion, Yahweh has become very angry toward the Jewish people for their weakness and apathy toward conviction.  It was a source of much frustration for God that the Jewish people sought to appease their persecutors so much when he would have rather had them slay their enemies without remorse.  And we see that now, even as Israel is under attack by terrorist groups sympathetic to the PLO many Jewish people in America are registered Democrats and support liberal policies that are detrimental to their very existence and feed the power of their oppressors.  Which is a very dumb idea.  It’s one of the reasons that such villains exist in the world: nobody stops them from unleashing hell upon it.  God would prefer the Jewish people to defend themselves as a group of people.  Not seeking to survive by appeasing evil with timid social values.

You might have seen that Steven Spielberg and other Hollywood types support Joe Biden with a big fundraiser hoping to get the old man’s campaign moving in a positive direction.  Spielberg used to be a great filmmaker, but not so much anymore.  Like many Jewish people, his politics have not lined up with reality, and it shows in him as a person.  Many Jewish people in Hollywood support Democrats and have made themselves part of the problem by essentially making peace with their oppressors in a kind of Stockholm Syndrome.  It’s great to have an ancient connection to your past, but what good is it if your only means of survival is to embrace the bad guys?  It reminds me of the old stagecoach robberies where villains would get on a train with many passengers with a lot of money and stick them up.  I always wondered why people were so compliant and did so without fighting back.  Perhaps it’s because they believe material possessions aren’t worth dying over.  They think that they can always make more money or get more stuff.  So that their view of protecting their family is to do whatever they need to do to live another day.  My thoughts, however, are that when someone tells you to hold your hands up if you want to live, then that is the time that you pull out your own gun and defend yourself.  Appeasing evil strengthens their resolve and makes it easy for them to be evil.  This ties into a lot of God’s original problems with the Jewish people, as stated quite clearly in the Bible.  Why don’t people attack their enemies and trust that God will protect them from harm?  When God says to attack a nation and destroy it, do it, even if you are grossly outnumbered.  Trust God: he will take care of you. 

God was always frustrated with his chosen people because they did not attack, and they were always trying to appease the desecrators of their culture, such as the Baal worshipers who continued to corrupt them during their entire existence.  King Solomon didn’t just build temples to Yahweh; he built temples to other gods because he had thousands of wives and concubines who worshipped Baal and other regional gods and always tried to make them all happy.  It was about that time that God just gave up on the people and let Nebuchadnezzar have them through a vicious attack that oppressed the Jewish people for the next several thousand years.  If it wasn’t the Babylonians, it was the Romans.  Then, Islamic radicalism took over all the Holy sites from the Bible to essentially attempt to desecrate them beyond memory, and in doing so, tried to kill off the Jewish people entirely because the dispute was whether or not they should have ever existed in the first place.  What right did God have to give them the promised land, where the indigenous people were worshiping all these pagan gods and were considered the original owners?  Who was this God to come along and give their land away?  That is where morality comes into play and the right and obligation to pass judgment on the wicked and decide that a proper morality has more value than just surviving.  Defending the world from evil has more merit in Heaven than just giving up and appeasing evil so you can survive another day. 

And we see this same mentality in supporters of liberal politics, those who support Democrats in America, for instance, the Steven Spielberg types.  For them, the fantasy characters they created in Hollywood that did fight back represented the desire all people have to fight back against evil.  But then there is the ethical problem of saying, “It’s only money.  Give it to them so they don’t shoot us.”  And once that kind of appeasement has been entertained, Hollywood types like the Spielbergs of the world lose their audience because that’s not what MAGA Americans want their country to be like, appeasers to evil who don’t fight back.  That is the essential element of those against Trump.  To make America Great Again means fighting back against evil oppressors when so many Democrats and RINOs have decided that the best way to survive is to give evil what it wants, not to cast judgment against all the Jezebels of existence, and to make peace, not war.  Isn’t that what all the dope-smoking, communist hippies always said?  Going back to the movie Poltergeist, I always had a problem with Steven Spielberg putting that pot scene in the bedroom where the main characters were smoking a joint together.   No wonder the ghosts ran them off from their home because they were weak-minded losers.  But that was Steven Spielberg on a plate.  And that is why Hollywood isn’t what it used to be.  Like the Biden administration, which talks out of both sides of its mouth, not because it has any conviction but because its goal is to survive at all cost, the goal is not to fight evil, but to yield to it.  Even if it means appeasing the evil in the world when God wants people to fight against it, appeasing evil was never God’s choice.  Jesus came along and gave everyone an excuse to embrace peace, which has all kinds of Hindu elements to the approach that has only fed many villains in the world, appeasement, which has only encouraged them to rob more trains and take more people’s money without working hard to earn it for themselves.  And in that way, appeasement is the root cause of how evil spreads worldwide.  And when we look around at why there is so much evil thriving everywhere, it’s because we have too many appeasers who look to avoid conflict when they should be embracing it, as Yahweh always tried to convince them to do with his full support.

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

The Danger of Masons and RINOs: What we learned from the Judge Edelstein case and how it’s being applied to Darbi Boddy

I didn’t want to bring up the whole Mason connection to the Butler County judiciary, but there is a pattern that has emerged that reminds me a lot of the case with Kim Edelstein, the former judge of Butler County who ran sideways with Judge Stevens. All this drama against Darbi Boddy, the Lakota school board member who has now had the legal brotherhood turning its wrath toward her through Judge Lyons, has brought all this to the surface. Because most people have an assumption of constitutional law protected by our judges. But we have judges who belong to all these brotherhoods, such as the Masons, who behave as if their international order superseded constitutional law. I learned much more than most people have the stomach for regarding some of these cases, such as why Judge Stevens let his assistant waste over 500 hours playing the video game Candy Crush when she should have been working, according to witnesses. After the human resource conflict between Judge Stevens and Judge Edelstein erupted into her moving to another county to get work, Butler County prosecutor Mike Gmoser called Wood County to pursue the case further. Now I like Mike, he has said to me that he’s a MAGA guy. But then again, so did Isaac Adi. A lot of mystery only makes sense when considering malicious intent. And the more you look, the more you discover that many of these people are seduced by the temptation to abuse authority. They care about power too much, and it’s evident that they are more interested in employing losers and malcontents instead of qualified people who might show them up. And to hide such incompetence they seek out these brotherhoods to protect them from public scrutiny. I want to believe in these judges, I know many of them, and I want to like them. But this antagonism against Darbi Boddy forces a lot of unsaid things to the surface which we must explore if we want honest government.

Most Masons lean toward political Marxism

It’s not a matter of conspiracy theory to talk about the Masonic lodges’ membership and the judicial activists’ desire to seek an alliance in brotherhoods. If you peel back the apparent layer of politics that most people agree on, when it comes to trying to understand the mentality of RINOs then you have to consider the desire of these people who call themselves Republicans to belong to collective-based brotherhoods, such as labor unions, and Mason Lodges, or even membership to the Eastern Star. These have been networking tools for gaining access to better jobs for a long time. And by the looks of things, Mason membership is a criterion for the legal profession, especially at the level of judges and prosecutors. This is a problem because these international organizations think of themselves as succeeding the American Constitution. That’s a long story in itself, considering that it was Masons that largely formed the American Constitution, or at least debated it. So many people don’t see a problem with it. But then again, when it comes to Butler County, Ohio, and Ohio, we know of several 33-degree Masons who hold public office, such as Judge Powers, and State Rep Scott Lipps of Franklin who were announced in the Journal News. Memberships are only necessary when they say something about the people who seek membership, which takes them away from their public duties should they decide to serve the public. At that point, what they believe can become very dangerous. And by all indications, it looks like it is by these means that we end up with what we call RINOs in Republican politics.

These memberships are important to many public officials.

To understand why Masons and RINOs are almost synonymous, all we must do is look at the words of one of the most famous Masons, Albert Pike. If you’ve ever seen the Masonic Lodge in Washington, D.C., where George Washington and Alexander Hamilton were prominent members, it’s a magnificent structure. In that case, you can see how those people might think of themselves as a government independent of the rest of America, that their brotherhoods were more important to them than their Constitutional duties. I’ve been in several Mason lodges, particularly the one in Cincinnati by the old Taft house, and I understand all too well the purposes and the stars painted on the ceiling. Let’s call it a “research project” not an invitation to membership. Albert Pike was famous for saying, “What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us…what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.” Otherwise, Karl Marx would have said these kinds of statements, which makes sense because he was a Mason, just as the Masons organized Vladimir Lenin to come out of exile and raid Petrograd for the communist revolution that destroyed Russia. And when you listen to the political positions of RINOs and the legal gymnastics that have emerged in the Darbi Boddy case in Butler County in 2023, then it is pretty clear that these Mason memberships are a problem because the members are more loyal to their brotherhood than to their constitutional oaths. And from there the contents of the SWAMP and their hatred for Trump and MAGA Republicans starts to make a lot more sense. These are people who are insecure and want to touch the face of immortality, as was articulated by Albert Pike.

33 Degree Masons is as high as you can go.

I’m not against Masons. Andrew Jackson was one of my favorite presidents, and he took on the epic battle that we need to have again with centralized banking. All members are not joined at the hip in political strategy, and membership doesn’t make them all bad. But it does say a lot about their character and the problem of Marxism failing all over the world and populism moving to the far right of Karl Marx, and away from this scam by the Masons that goes back hundreds of years to the Friday the 13th murders of the Knights Templars, forcing their movement underground in secret so that they could rule from the shadows. But for these timid types, there is safety in numbers, which is the origin of their desires for power and their tendency to abuse it. Such was grotesquely obvious when the Judge Edelstein case was occurring, and in many ways, it is still happening. The way this judicial network seeks to personally destroy people they think is a challenge to their authority is a real problem, showing itself in the Darbi Boddy case. For them, it has nothing to do with constitutional law. It’s all about protecting the brotherhood, and that’s not something we talk about when we elect these judges. If their memberships in brotherhoods keep them from behaving like Republicans, small government constitutional supporters, then we need to know all about it. Because we can’t have a representative government if we aren’t talking about why these people seek the memberships they do and to what extent it impacts their social judgment. As Albert Pike indicated, it’s all about the collective where immortality resides, and these older adults are very concerned about life after their deaths. So they turn out to be more loyal to their order, which lives on, than the merit of their individual decisions, which is at the heart of the modern MAGA movement. Voters have shown they want more Darbi Boddy’s, fewer Judge Powers, and their 33-Degree Mason memberships. I usually am pretty proud of Butler County law enforcement, but I have too much information that calls into question all these characters. And when they think they are going to abuse another person, such as Darbi Boddy, without it impacting their sacred safe places, well, they have a lot to learn about the future.

That’s a lot of memberships. What’s that say about the individual person you vote for? Who are they more loyal to?

TikTok is a Deployment Weapon for China Against America: Social media was never supposed to be our friend, but it can be used to serve us

The thing that is obvious about all social media, especially China-owned TikTok, is that it must be viewed as a deployment weapon for war-like strategy. China uses TikTok to do what military weapons can’t, and we’ve let it into our country like a bunch of fools. That was, of course, the entire intent of the various social media platforms. I’ve told the story before, Facebook was never meant to be good for us, to keep us in touch with loved ones. It was meant to collect information on us that could be used against us. I was in California at the time when Facebook was buying up influencers to propel their product away from the social media platform Myspace at that time. I refused and never did open a Facebook account. Twitter, YouTube, and Google would head in the same direction. When you talk about algorithm control I have videos that have been there for 15 years, but since Google bought YouTube, my views have trickled to a complete stop, especially political videos. It could be argued that I am one of the most shadow-banned people on Earth. I had the exact same experience on Twitter until Elon Musk bought it, which improved it a bit. But my account is still heavily shadow-banned. It’s obvious when you compare views between my Rumble account and YouTube. One gets many thousands of views whereas videos I did on those heavily controlled platforms still only have 15 to 20 views almost two decades later. So, social media was always about information collection and propaganda distribution. And Facebook was so obvious that I deliberately never signed up. How did Zuckerbucks come up with over a billion dollars in value for a dating app before he was aged 21? Intel money made him rich, not the market-driven product itself.

I have learned to use social media as a powerful tool anyway.  My messages do get out in spite of the shadow banning and tight controls on message content that many have had.  I was one of the very first people on Truth Social, Trump’s social media platform.  And I nearly exclusively use Gettr as my source of news these days because of their excellent streaming offerings.  Twitter’s conversion to X has been better for free speech.  I still see many problems with it and am not completely convinced that Elon Musk is on the “free speech bandwagon.”  Musk is more of a Restaurant at the End of the Galaxy kind of guy, so I think he sees for himself a better future under the merits of pure capitalism than when social media first came out and China looked like it was going to rule the world, so everyone better start kissing the ring.  Social media was designed to spy on us, manipulate us, and cut us off in the direction of social scores based on our behavior.  If we didn’t do right by the administrative state, we would have our profiles turned off and be cast out of society, which the World Economic Forum clearly stated was their intent.  If they could control and monitor social behavior combined with finance participation, where they could turn your credit card off in a cashless society because of your social media dialogue, they were intent on doing it, which is why China owns TikTok.  It’s not for fun and sharing.  It’s to destroy our culture in America by poisoning our youth with low IQ level behavior that would be devastating to the next generation. 

TikTok is so effective that it has a lot to do with abortion and pot smoking becoming legalized in Ohio.  Republicans have been very slow to realize just how powerful social media is.  In my area, my blog site is much more popular with people who know about it than local news sources, and I have an excellent track record for being an influencer despite the massive shadow banning.  But TikTok is a thing all its own, and it is how social messaging from political parties gets straight to them, which was undoubtedly the case with Issues 1 and 2 in Ohio during the elections of 2023.  And you can bet that if left unchecked, they plan to influence 2024’s elections significantly.  The use of sexual images and social silliness that is the foundation of TikTok in the United States is meant to be poison for the youthful generation.  China would never allow such behavior to occur in their own country, and they do turn it off.  Always remember, anything that is free, you are always the product.  Nobody gives anybody anything for free.  You might be able to turn the tables on their intentions.  But understand what the game is and know who the game’s players are.  Nobody, giant corporations, and countries do anything, unless it gives them more power over you.  There may be some rag-tag rebels who can use social media for good.  But don’t ever count on it.  From China’s point of view, like the drugs that cross into America from open borders, it’s poison meant to destroy America from within.  If you rot a mind and a body, there is nothing to resist communist tyranny through the slow cook of increased heat and pressure.  Social media should have always been viewed as a military strategy of a significant threat and nothing else. 

However, just like all military endeavors, a plan seldom goes as intended, which is undoubtedly the case here.  Plenty of good social media uses have turned the tables on our aggressors.  I think of the Libs of TikTok as a great example.  There are the Charlie Kirks and Steve Bannons out there who have broken through the firewall and can get their content to millions of people, and they are doing the opposite of what China wanted to do with their control.  They are freeing people and decentralizing the social message that used to be controlled by the establishment press.  I have learned over the years because I have seen the direct administrative views of my page counts, book sales, and new media from Rumble that I, too, get millions of visitors, even if the reporting mechanics are entirely controlled by intelligence agencies who purposely want people like me to feel socially isolated and disconnected as if my voice was thrown into the bottom of a deep well that nobody could hear.  That is real, but over time, I have learned that there are soft spots in the prison walls, and getting your voice out isn’t as hard as they’d like you to believe.  Their control is an illusion at best, more perceptual than actual.  But the intent is certainly malicious.  They let a few celebrities through to give an illusion of social freedom in messaging.  But for most, if their message is dangerous to the administrative state or the Deep State, especially my kind of messaging, then shadow banning by controlling the algorithms is part of the mechanics.  Yet, despite that, I have found the format to be a powerful delivery system that can be used against the bad guys in ways they never intended.  Social media, such as TikTok, is dangerous and here to stay.  But they can be used against the enemy in productive ways.  However, make no mistake about it; they were designed and introduced to control society and destroy those against their tyrannical messaging.  And as we move into the next election cycle, understand the tools being used against us because that’s their purpose by design.

The Comeback of Adam Smith Capitalism: What the economy will look like beyond 2024

Included here is a picture of Adam Smith from Scotland, where his Wealth of Nations was born, which I consider one of the most outstanding books ever written. It just so happens to be about economics and is the secret sauce to America’s great economy and why it has been at the top of the world. Many countries have many more people in them or even have more mineral resources. But for some reason, America has produced more economic wealth than any other place, anywhere, at any time. Even with all the big government restrictions that come from these socialist intrusions over the last century, significant government types have tried to ride the camel of productivity while at the same time imposing Marxism on them. America still outproduces the rest of the world in fundamental, economic value. So, the Wealth of Nations is an essential book written in 1776. But I also keep talking about Johan Norberg’s recent 2023 book, The Capitalist Manifesto, because it’s a really good book. Not necessarily from a conservative American perspective. But he’s from Sweden and he talks about IKEA a lot, but from a European liberalized mindset, he’s preaching the benefits of capitalism that I thought the left would never dare utter. And he’s doing it in an effort to save the concept of globalism from its massive failure of attaching itself to global communism. He sees, much the way Adam Smith tried to convince everyone, that capitalism is the best means of helping the most people, and in The Capitalist Manifesto, Norberg puts forth in a written and non-boring way, all the benefits capitalism has brought to the world over time and makes his case for everyone to get it for reference to the future of all global economies.

A statue of Adam Smith in Scotland

I was an economics major in college, but I was miserable. They were teaching Marxism, and I was far away from that vantage point, so it was painful, and through most of my adult life, I have worked in the opposite direction of all academics. I also found Adam Smith’s work to be my favorite, and I have rejected all forms of Keynesian economics from centralized authorities, which Smith also argued against. And over the years to feed my sentiments, I have enjoyed the work of Ayn Rand because as a Russian who lost everything to communism in her home country and had to flee to America to have a shot at a decent life, she understood Adam Smith too. But I was always the odd person over in the corner standing against the tide of globalism that we were all told was going to move in a noticeably communist direction, with China being the model that globalism created. So I can’t tell you how happy I am to have lived long enough to see that whole Marxist empire die in front of our faces. You could see the last gasp of it when Xi from China visited Biden in San Francisco late in 2023 for a kind of communist summit. Globalism was trying hard to show that they had reached the finish line. But due to populism yearning for Adam Smith capitalism, the water is flowing through their cupped hands fast, to the point where soon there will be nothing left to drink from. Looming in the background of all this political activity is the return from exile of President Trump, he has a vicious plan to end globalism as it has been proposed, and economic advocates like Johan Norberg see the writing on the wall, that if the world of liberals wish to save their hard work at establishing globalism, that they were going to have to throw the towel in and adapt capitalism, quickly.

I do read many books, about three of them the size of Norberg’s book a week.  But after I got through The Capitalist Manifesto about a third of the way, I considered it the most important book about economics since Adam Smith.  And I say that knowing that Norberg and I would likely see eye to eye on very little, politically.  But this book is a glaring admission that I know a lot of my old college professors would probably commit suicide over.  I would get so angry at their sheer stupidity that I would jump into just about every risky business proposal that came my way to shake off the stink of it all.  But I learned a lot in the process that is what we might say, unique to the present marketplace.  So, it all worked out in the end.  And I can see where Norberg is going even as the people on the political side of Norberg found Ayn Rand to be the incarnation of the Devil in all the details.  This was all a mainstream admission that the only way to save global markets was to adopt capitalism, purely and without much micromanagement, which is a massive statement from any economic circle.  It’s one that I have known about for decades, and it cost me much trouble to be on the side of pure markets while the rest of the world was moving toward various degrees of Marxism, from the stock market to the making of plastic baseballs in China. 

So, boys and girls, this is the question of the century, the answer all wrapped up into one, and the reason that Norberg published his book at this particular time.  What happens in 2024 and 2025 and beyond economically?  Norberg is not a populist, and he is not a fan of President Trump.  Yet, Trump is the leader of the political world, all over the world, despite all these attempts by globalists to keep their dead duck alive by trying to destroy Trump.  And revenge is coming once he is president again, and the last threads of globalism are as good as gone.  The entire plot of the World Economic Forum and their paper tiger of China will disappear.  That’s why Xi met with Biden.  They all know it’s over.  National capitalism will have to make a massive comeback, which will impact all the global markets attached to communism, which will be allowed to die on the vine to separate itself from the market flow of America.  That is where America is heading; for a while, we will close our borders and let the rest of the world rot on the last vestiges of globalism as envisioned by Tragedy and Hope (the book).  And if the world wants to survive, it will have to start thinking like Norberg and, fundamentally, getting to know Adam Smith better.  The Karl Marx experiment driven by all the Masonic lodges was a massive failure, and now people like Johan Norberg must fess up to it, which makes his book, The Capitalist Manifesto, the most important book of our time.  I can’t recommend it enough because it is the roadmap for the rest of this century.  And it all starts with what Trump will do in America once he’s reelected.  And the world struggles to catch up, which will be very hard for them.  But do, they must, if they want to survive the world that is coming.

From the Hebrew Bible Where the Term “Hamas” Came From: The Muslim Brotherhood under Barack Obama was an act of terrorism to destroy Western Civilization and all of us as a result

To understand the story correctly, and how the terrorist organization, the Muslim Brotherhood came to be, you really must go back to a Jewish Bible and understand the purpose of Hamas and how horrendously bad people wish to use the perception of biblical prophecy to terrorize people politically. In the Jewish Bible Genesis 6: 11 it states “The earth has become corrupted before Elohim, and the earth is filled with Hamas” (lawless violence). Of course, we know that the terrorist group of Hamas that has sworn to destroy all the Jewish people from a Palestinian perspective is of the same name, which is completely on purpose. And that’s not the first time such a thing has been done due to biblical response politically. I’ve read the Quaran many times, and I generally think of religions, whatever they are, as beneficial to people on a quest for spiritual enlightenment. But obviously, the purpose of the Quran, written 600 years after the death of Christ, was political. And that same politics is at work for global domination now and we see it blatantly on our nightly news with the war against Israel and the flash mobs of violence that have been erected overnight. That’s because terrorism is baked into the religious argument, and it’s been that way since the beginning. So when malicious characters today want to hide what they are doing, they have baked into the belief system of people push-button terrorism. Just blow on their tempers, set in motion by the religious practice itself, and suddenly, you can have global wars to cover the tracks of crime and international villainy. The Quran, for me, was never a book of peace and love; it was a political response to Roman control of the Arab world, and once they moved toward Christianity, suddenly, there was a book that took many of the Bible stories and recategorized them toward terrorist aims for purely political objectives.

And so I told everyone that the Muslim Brotherhood, connected directly to these international terrorist intentions, moved into our White House with the election of Barack Obama, and it has gained a foothold in our government ever since.  We now see the result when Obama said he fundamentally wanted to change America. It all started in the living room of the domestic American terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorn, in Chicago, where they launched the career of a kid who was not born in America; nobody knew who his father was. His mom was a sleep-around lunatic who had attachments to all types of communist radicals.  Barack Obama was perfect for the domestic terrorists to use the mask of racism as a way to freeze the gullible Americans into an attack they could do nothing about, and the intention was to bring America down from within.  Obama was hand-picked right then and there to destroy America first as a senator, and they fast-tracked him into the presidency, manipulating the media behind the scenes to remove any barriers that might get in the way.  And it worked because Americans hadn’t seen that kind of deceit before.  Some of us tried to warn everybody, but until the end of Trump’s term, which was a direct response to the terrorist intentions of Barack Obama, who still whispers in the ear of the hapless fool Joe Biden, people had no context for just how evil some of these people were.  And that was part of the plan, nobody would ever suspect the level of evil we were dealing with.  And in that way, the Muslim Brotherhood, just like Black Lives Matters, and Antifa, was born to act as terrorists against the foundations of American, Jewish/Christian values. 

And it was that same type of arrogance, fueled by the ancient belief in prophecy, such as in the quote I cited in Genesis, that evil, however you define it, was unleashed to conduct its villainy.  I tend to think of the principalities with their own political agenda and always working in the background.  But in front of them are the people we actually deal with, the political characters of the world, and all their varied motivations to rule over all of us, for all different reasons.  The Palestinians behind the Hamas terrorist group have sworn the destruction of the Western world.  And we have certainly seen that behavior from the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States, perpetuated and strengthened by the first two Barack Obama presidencies, and through a stolen election, had their strength rekindled during Joe Biden’s term.  This is ultimately one of the many reasons that there was a stolen election, to facilitate this level of global terrorism that sees a desperate opening in 2023 to advance their plans.  The Hamas terrorists didn’t just parachute into Jewish events and slaughter all those innocent people like it was straight out of the Call of Duty video game because they didn’t have a belief that they would get away with it.  And that such an action would provoke Israel into war, and that war would lay ground cover for the real military objectives in the world, fueled by religious terrorism.  And overnight we had terrorist cells hiding behind free speech, daring us to take it away from them, so that we would, in turn, destroy our own Constitutional foundations, declaring in city streets the destruction of all Western civilization.

And behind it, all in America is the terrorist intentions of the Muslim Brotherhood, not an organization of peace and study for relationships with the afterlife, but international terrorists’ intent, just as Hamas is, to destroy Western Civilization in the same way that Islam was created to destroy Rome.  And there is no peaceful co-existence.  These are people who want war with all of us.  We may be advocates of peace, but they want war and our destruction.  We have let them into our culture under the premise of elected office, under the accusations of racism, and they are deeply penetrated through at least three stolen elections into our government.  As I say often, I knew how corrupt the FBI had become during Obama’s administration when there was that Muslim terrorist event during Christmas in San Bernardino, California.  Remember that one where the FBI let the media into the apartment of the killers to taint the evidence, and they refused to call the couple who performed the mass shooting, Islamic terrorists, which they clearly were, as indicated by what they left behind?  These terrorists aren’t all Muslim, but they do share the kind of hate that was indicated in the Hebrew Bible in Genesis 6:11.  Kings James versions have watered down the language a bit, but the Hamas name didn’t just come from nowhere.  It was meant to invoke terrorism into the Western World, and they have no intention of co-existing with anybody.  And they have no desire for self-preservation, they don’t mind sacrificing themselves to the cause.  And now, because of our acceptance of American terrorists, like the group that came from Bill Ayers and his Weather Underground during his entire adult life, we have a very unstable society that may well break out into war in our streets.  And much of our government is currently sympathetic to those terrorist intentions.  They hate the Christian/Jewish foundations of Western civilization, and they are intent on rotting it from within.  And that is giving them a lot of credit.  They are actually much more vicious than that.

Make Sure to Judge and Judge Often: Learning from Ecclesiastes 10:8

One of the dumbest things I have ever heard come out of the mouth of another human being is, “Don’t judge.”  Of course, we should judge, and we should put up high barriers around the things that we love.  I say, “judge and judge often.”  Have strong opinions and cast judgment aggressively everywhere.  And to best illustrate the necessity of this value, I think Ecclesiastes 10:8 best describes the need for review by saying, “he that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.”  One of the reasons we have the mess we have today on so many fronts is that we allowed ourselves to turn off this valuable ability that the human race has to change their environment.  Most animals in the world cannot come up with such conceptual faculties.  They can only function from their biological impulse.  But human beings can alter their environment through their intellect, and in that way, creating something of value and then protecting that value from the impediments of evil is one of the greatest attributes that we have, which is the meaning of that Ecclesiastes phrase.  We live in a world now run by the snakes of evil, as portrayed in the Garden of Eden story.  There are always snakes; the world is full of them and on many layers of life.  They don’t just come in one shape or size, but many.  Snakes are abundant in the world, and they are seeking evil for the way that evil feeds itself.  So, to advance in life, human beings must come up with some way that isolates the mechanisms of the snake, of evil, in our lives.  In our culture, we have created property rights and then defended those rights with barriers, represented in Ecclesiastes as “hedges.”

We can call something evil by its desire to remove value from consideration.  When the snake tempted Eve, we see clearly that the desire was to focus her mind on good and evil instead of eating from the Tree of Eternal Life, which is to say, a life of value.  For evil, it’s in removing value from society that it does its work, whether we are talking about desecrating our bodies from being temples of God, to the kind of language we use, or even having casual Fridays in a business climate.  Divorce has been one of the most intrusive evils to be enacted in our culture, the desire to destroy the concept of family so that children are left vulnerable in an evil world to the intentions of every vile specimen.  Evil wants easy access to the creations that spawn out of value, so desecrating any of those values is their primary objective.  It is why evil wants people to do drugs to abandon their religions, their families, their jobs, their politics, and their values.  Evil is the snakes always tempting Eve away from the Tree of Eternal Life and into the duality of conflict, which sin always controls by controlling what people value or don’t.  Judging others is essential because it does not allow evil to hide in the background of ambiguity and is at the core of any civilized society.  The Bible contains excellent wisdom accumulated from the efforts of the human race over many thousands of years, so it goes well beyond any religious assumption for the afterlife.  What the Bible does best is reflect values from lives well lived or not so well lived and provide that wisdom for future generations to build a foundation of judgment from. 

And that is why it is dangerous to cut down the hedges because that is where the snakes hide.  And when you cut them away, and there is no hiding place, the snakes will surely bite.  Hedges are barriers that we often place around our property to make sure that other people recognize our boundaries and our values.  We value things, whether it be a home, a spouse, children, a job, or a car.  It should be obvious when studying Marxism that much of the premise of collectivism is in removing barriers to ownership, such as saying, my wife, my country, my family, etc.  This is why open marriages are such a disgusting concept, the idea of sharing a spouse with strangers for the sexual excitement of it.  Not only does it desecrate the value of a lifetime commitment to another person, but it also defiles the idea of a marriage that creates a family at the most foundational level.  So we wear a wedding ring as a hedge to let others know we have boundaries.  Snakes might gather there to hide in wait, hoping to catch someone off guard and stumble into their lair of hiding so they might bite them or even consume them.  That is why we have locked doors in our homes, to keep out people who might do us harm.  That’s why we lock our cars in a parking lot so that anybody can’t get into them and drive them away.  So, too, must we have locks on our most personal thoughts and ideas.  Being open to the world is not a good thing because it allows the snakes of our lives easy entry into our most personal possessions.  And yes, the keys to Western Civilization are creating values and defending them because, in that process, we make social value, which the rest of the world is starving for. 

Of course, there must be standards and established protections around those things you love and care for.  And that the evil of the world will embed itself in those barriers but will keep clear of those things you value because of their natural inclination to hide.  That is the way to manage evil.  Not having standards allows evil to move anywhere and to hide in the open, where chaos can camouflage their intentions, which is the problem of modern times.  When we ask why there is so much evil in the world, we have removed our hedges and allowed sin to hide among us at close range instead of the safe distance of our established boundaries.  We must judge, set up barriers against evil, and cast opinions about it.  Once we listened to the dumb serpents in the Garden of Eden, we opened ourselves to this vile existence of living with and putting up with evil instead of keeping our minds on the things that matter.  And we learn what matters through possessions that we seek to protect their value from the world’s evils.  In that process, we keep our minds on the Tree of Knowledge, on the things that matter.  To best fight evil, we must maintain hedges that keep it from the things we most value.  We don’t open ourselves to evil and live without judgment.  To do that, we become no better than animals and every other lifeform just eating, reproducing, and fulfilling some lifecycle of some cellular decomposition.  To live our best life, turn to Ecclesiastes 10:8 and learn the wisdom of the past to bring value to the future and keep those snakes obscured at a safe distance.  Because at every opportunity, they will bite you because that’s what snakes do.

Issue 1 in Ohio, the Cult of Death: The evil that was happening in the land of Canaan is behind the modern Democrat intention to change the Constitution to include abortion

Ironically, all the same characters who support the Palestinian attacks against Israel support Issue 1 in Ohio. I, of course, am a hard no on Issue 1, which is an attempt to put a radical abortion agenda into the Ohio Constitution up to the 9th month. It’s an outrageous death cult that we are dealing with here that is precisely the same as when Yahweh granted the land of Canaan to the Hebrew people because the Palestinians in the area, the “indigenous people” were sacrificing their firstborn children to the gods of Baal, Moloch, and Ishtar and God had enough of it. So, the state of Israel was created to silence a vast evil that had been taking place. And no less than that is the scope of the problems with Issue 1. When the previous Issue 1 that failed in August of 2023, we knew this attack by the various death cults outside the state was coming. They had targeted Ohio because it had a low threshold to bypass the various conservative governments in the House, the Senate, and as governor and could change laws with a simple 50+1 majority. So as soon as Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court and kicked back to the states, some conservatives saw the vulnerability. But it was too little too late. A vote was taken to attempt to raise the threshold for constitutional adjustments to something more reasonable, like 60%. But the out-of-state money poured in, and the push for this death cult activated all the losers, the murderers, the slack-jawed drug users, the trans crowd, the gays, the two or three real Joe Biden supporters, the lowlifes, the criminals, and the Israel haters into voting in August in what was supposed to be a surprise election. But Issue 1 was defeated with around 57%, so now this cult of the death abortion issue is on the November ballot as the new Issue 1. And I would like to see it fail.

But on this one, I’m taking the long view.  I can see that the vile Democrats think they have this one in the bag with early polling, along the same lines as what Issue 1 failed on in August.  Around 57% support this cult of death for various reasons, the same reasons that Israel was constantly challenged by the temptations to worship Baal with human sacrifice.  When people wonder how the ancient Canaanites could have killed their firstborn children screaming for their lives just to appease a god, all they have to do is look at the supporters of Issue 1 in Ohio for their answer.  The same could be said of them.  What the abortion activists want to do to the Ohio Constitution and the money from out of state that set the table for it is nothing short of human sacrifice.  This proposal is so radical that even contentious arguments about the 20-week ban, the Heartbeat Law, and even parental notification will be thrown out the window without any legislative input, and the evil menaces out there have drool dripping from their mouths at the prospect of turning such a red state as Ohio is into a victim of blue state politics with a simple majority vote.  In an off-year election where a president isn’t on the ballot, Democrats think they will see a surge in support over Issue 1 and the pot smoking Issue 2, another subject for discussion.  I see teacher unions puffing out their chests already through extremely liberal school board members who they think will get elected because they supported this cult of death.  So unless something drastic happens with turnout on election day in November, it looks like a long fight is ahead of us on this one. 

It is hard for good people to grasp just how evil Issue 1 is, or abortion rights in general, are.  But then again, this isn’t a modern problem; it’s a death cult that has always been with the human race.  It was the reason that Israel was created in the first place, to stand against that death cult.   Over time, it has been hard for people to stand with Israel and the various death cults of the world and stand up for progress and human decency.  Many conservative voters will sit at home on election night; at least, the supporters of Issue 1 expect that to be the case.  They think they will sneak this one under the fence, just as Jezebelle had corrupted her husband and the nation into Baal worship and the eventual destruction of the Jewish people.  We have that same evil menace manifesting behind out-of-state abortion groups seeking revenge over the federal Supreme Court position by targeting states like Ohio for this vicious attack.  And it is an attack; there is no soft way to put it.  There are plenty of losers in Ohio at the various Democrat strongholds to get this Issue 1 passed, especially in the college portions of the state where Democrat politics have seeded themselves into an otherwise very conservative state.  But it would take an outrageously high turnout of conservatives to stop Issue 1, which is hopeful but unrealistic.  As a result, millions of lives will be lost, which makes those functioning from evil in the world very happy. 

But it’s not too late yet.  I would recommend everyone go out and vote.  Don’t take this one lying down.   History shows us that we will have to confront evil like this many times in our lives and throughout time.  And this is undoubtedly one of them.  Encourage your friends and family to get out and vote against Issue 1.  Vote against this Cult of Death that Democrats want to bring to our sacred state of Ohio. But be prepared for the day after the election; the liberal media is already poised to throw gas on the fire and show Ohio as a victory and a ripe target for radical politics.  What is being attacked is the core of Ohio values, and to turn it into a complicit blue state for the vile intentions of actual evil that have their fingerprints all over Issue 1.  So we cannot lose our composure.  There are many ways to fight corruption, and we certainly will have to.  But before we resort to those methods, we can solve the problem with an election, which would be best.  Fighting these death cults is a mandate of existence that will occur with intense voracity regardless of what is written on a page and called law.  Ethics can and will be defended irrespective of any legislative endeavor.  I would recommend that we all be much more vocal about these cults of death and not let them hide in the background of our society and to shame them into oblivion.  But first, show up and make your voice known on Issue 1.  Give it your best effort at defeating it at the ballot box.  Then, depending on the obvious outcome, but nothing is sure until it is, we’ll go from there to defend life from the grips of death that come from all Democrat policies and their desires of doom for the human race.
