The Lockdown Lady: Amy Acton should have stayed under her rock

This is going to be fun, the governor’s race in Ohio.  Not that I think it will be close, but it will serve as a cherry on top for a vast evil that transpired, which was never settled.  Because she resigned from her job before the full wrath of anger came down on her for what she did during COVID in Ohio.  We’re talking about Amy Acton, the stringy-haired hippy chick who ran the Health Department in Ohio for Mike DeWine.  She hilariously tried to claim this past week that she was statistically tied with Vivek Ramaswamy in the race for governor, which I find laughable.  However, she’s trying to create excitement among a Democrat base that is flatlining.  Democrats across the country are trying to generate enthusiasm for their campaigns, and in her case, they hope people have forgotten.  After all, she was a media darling for most of 2020 as she reported daily from Columbus on the latest lockdown procedures, which she perfected to an extreme.  And the media loved having a mom telling them to go to bed and telling them what to do about everything.  Amy Acton’s tenure as Director of Health in Ohio was a disaster, but she did reveal what Democrats have in mind for government.  All the metaphorical masks came off during COVID, literally, and in many cases, by putting actual masks on we learned a lot.  However, we learned a great deal about ourselves during that period, despite it being so scary.  We came to know the differences between Republicans and Democrats beyond polite discourse over salary fairness and race relations.  Amy Acton led the nation in lockdown procedures that were statistically insane, essentially stopping the Ohio economy until a virus, created in China and released by very sinister forces, would stop spreading through a crazy strategy of separating people from each other until the case infections stopped. 

I didn’t discuss it at the time, but a couple of the most prominent con artists I have ever known started a company that conducted COVID-19 tests because they thought that was going to be the future.  They were radical lefty types and were dumb as rocks.  However, they had significant, essential jobs that paid them far too much money.  And they left those jobs thinking Covid tests in Ohio were going to be big business.  I explained to them that Amy Acton was not going to last, that Ohio was breaking the law by violating the Constitution, and that COVID was one of the biggest scams in the history of the world.  And I said all this because they tried to recruit me to their cause, wanting me to sell their new COVID-19 testing lab to the political world, and wanted to pay me a lot of money to use my voice to validate their existence.  (a lot of money)  Which anybody who knew me back then should have known better.  I was dressed every day like Mad Max, ready for a fight at any moment with anybody.  I was prepared for a showdown with the tyrannical forces of Amy Acton’s health direction at the drop of a dime. The Government was way out of control and getting worse by the day, and Governor Mike DeWine lost control of his government over fear of the stupid Covid virus, which was killing people who got it left and right.  And that same government was basing all their statistics on these COVID-19 tests, which people ran, like I mentioned, who were essentially designed to give false positives, and that Amy Acton would use those results to grab for more government overreach, as if to justify their actions. 

Of course, I proved to be right.  Those guys ended up out of a job, Amy Acton resigned.  The court challenges to the lockdown procedures all went against the DeWine administration, and he quickly had to start backtracking once he realized his abortion loving Health Director had screwed up Ohio detrimentally over a government power grab to use a health crisis to control every part of people’s lives.  And every conspiracy that I had talked about regarding the entire process turned out to be exactly as I said it was during that horrible period.  But the lessons learned were extremely valuable, even if a lot of innocent people died in the process, and the mandatory vaccines of the Biden administration damaged many.  It was a bad time, and Amy Acton was the queen of it all.  So I think it is pretty hilarious that she is going to climb out from under a rock and run for governor.  And, that she believes she can run against Vivek Ramaswamy, one of the most intelligent people on planet earth, who can talk the ears off a donkey.  I don’t think so.  If Amy Acton is the best that Democrats have, then they have next to nothing.  However, there is good in all this. I believe that a lot of what was unsettled needs to be settled as a result of that terrible period.  What can, or should, the government do for people?  And that will be a great debate where Vivek Ramaswamy will have many opportunities to discuss during this gubernatorial race in Ohio. I think it will get further worse for Amy Acton with the upcoming race, as Sherrod Brown wants to return to the Senate by challenging the incumbent, Jon Husted, who was Lieutenant Governor at the time Amy Acton was Health Director.  He was on TV with her every day, and there was a lot to discuss regarding the day-to-day operations of COVID management in Ohio, which serves as a warning for all about the power of big government.  And it’s going to get a lot of attention during these campaigns. 

I think it’s crazy for Amy Acton to stick her head out of the ground from which she has been hiding to run for Governor, which is going to expose her in ways she can’t imagine.  However, it’s not her failures as a person that will be so detrimental, but rather the lessons of letting a government, run by people like her, take over the day-to-day management of our lives from the utopian fantasy of communist/Democrat politics.  Amy Acton was among the worst, leading all states with her lockdown approach to managing the virus.  And because she did, she empowered a lot of con artists like those Covid testing people I mentioned, to profit off the demise of Ohio, and the nation, in ways that no fiction writer prior would have dared to put forth a plot because nobody would believe it.  And I think she is going to be destroyed politically by Vivek Ramaswamy, and to a greater extent, the Trump administration that has never been right with Mike DeWine since those many Covid mistakes.  People are going to get a chance to get revenge on Amy Acton for what she did to them, and the wrath will be harsh.  People generally left her alone because she stepped away from politics.  But now she’s climbing right back in, and I don’t think she, nor any of her advisors, know what they are getting into.  This won’t be a friendly election about ideas.  This will be a way for people to take their anger out on Amy Acton, as a result of what she did to their lives.  Amy Acton will, for the rest of her life, be known as the Lockdown Lady.  And people will never let her live it down, especially once they learn that she was the one responsible, which will be the centerpiece of this upcoming election.

The Greatness of Truth Social: Controlling market viability

Strategically speaking, as history views it, Trump’s commitment to the social media platform Truth Social will be the defining characteristic that was most important in the political movement that has reshaped the world.   And not enough people are talking about its importance.  But as I have said for a long time, and it’s more obvious now than ever, Trump’s creation of Truth Social, after he was kicked off Twitter following the 2020 election, will always be known as the most important thing he did.  And when it mattered most, just as the many court cases against Trump through lawfare were about to collapse upon him and he was facing hundreds of years in jail and things were looking very bleak, it was his ownership of Truth Social that completely reversed his financial fortunes back into the billions of dollars and took the gas out of the efforts against him, legally.  It’s quite an extraordinary story and is a lesson for all who study these kinds of things.  I love Truth Social; I was one of the very first people to join it as a social media platform, and I see it only getting better with time.  Even though the news that Elon Musk bought Twitter and renamed it X has captured everyone’s attention, Truth Social has quietly gained some market dominance worth discussing.  X has been a significantly improved social media platform under Elon Musk’s ownership, but it has seen a decline in influence.  It has maintained its value to some extent, despite Musk’s claim that X is the number one app in Japan.  There is significant growth on these social media platforms.  However, Truth Social under Trump has emerged as the next great thing, and at a considerable time.

Like many people on Truth Social, I received an offer to participate in their Patriot Package, which provides access to what they call Truth+.  It’s like Disney+ but without all the liberal programming.  So I accepted their offer and have been very impressed with it.   As I started using it, I have been thinking that this is the next best thing in entertainment to come out.  It works a lot like Roku and has its lineup of programming, complete with a TV guide that you can access on your television or computer.  But the programming is better, and this is early in the process.  Already, it has Bill O’Reilly’s No Spin News, as well as many other shows, such as The WarRoom, which is on Real America’s Voice, a news station that emerged to challenge Fox News during the same period of post-2020 censorship.  However, there is also sports coverage on it, as well as other programming that is growing, making it a viable entertainment option.  So Truth Social isn’t just a social media app where you can express opinions and get some basic news.  It’s becoming a complete entertainment package that is a real game changer for the media in general and decentralizes information in dramatic ways.  Even though Elon Musk restored President Trump’s X account once he gained ownership, and it could be said that a lot of what made Trump a great candidate in 2016 was his Twitter account where people could see him unfiltered from the media, Trump has kept his exclusive content confined to Truth Social out of loyalty and the necessity of development.  And it has paid off. 

I wasn’t sure what to think about Truth Social over these last few years.  I thought it was great that Trump could continue to post his opinions directly to the public, and people could pick up his message and carry it everywhere else.  And it has worked; it has dramatically decentralized the way a president of the White House communicates with the public.  For as long as there has been a media culture, they have had control over how and what communication is disseminated to the public.  This is something I learned several years ago: it is far better to provide your content to the public, even if fewer people initially see it, than to be accepted by a mainstream media outlet that has its own political goals.  Which we certainly saw with Fox News against Trump when they sought to make him a non-person.  That has been a widespread tactic and for well over a hundred years, has been a real problem regarding free speech.  Sure, you can say and think what you want, but what if nobody can hear it?  For a long time, newspapers and broadcasting dominated the narrative.  Twitter wasn’t the first social media platform to emerge, but it was among the first to provide alternatives, even if, under different leadership, it had a controlled intelligence narrative to steer society toward mass socialism, until Elon Musk changed that.  However, it remains that Truth Social is the official mouthpiece of President Trump, making it historically significant, and now emerging as something that I think will push the rest of the cord-cutters over the edge.  And Trump will replace people like Ted Turner as the king of entertainment options.  A sitting American president has never had the advantage of a personal media platform, which has been a source of incredible frustration for many American presidents, especially Theodore Roosevelt.  What Trump has been doing with Truth Social has been epic, but its significance is just getting started.

And when you control the message, or can’t, it decides what people want through the freedom of information.  In this way, people can express their political opinions without the filter of tampering to determine market viability.  Since the invention of mass media, essentially the printing press, human beings have never had this option authentically.  And now, through Truth Social, and subsequently Truth+, which you access through your regular social media account, there is a competitive option to Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and Hulu.  Once you pull up Truth+ on your television, it navigates through the channels just like Roku and Spectrum.  So this is a significant improvement for a social media platform that emerged essentially to give President Trump, sent into exile in the world, a voice to continue stating his opinions, and not to let him fall into the dust of history, as Rupert Murdoch indicated they would make him, which was a non-person.  Trump, out of necessity, has become the next entertainment mogul, and that is what it has taken to preserve the concept of free speech, even as we saw from the world just how dangerous it was to have all entertainment controlled by a radical leftist few.  Truth Social, through market capitalism, has emerged as a surprising frontrunner, and the world is changing dramatically as a result.  The goal isn’t to tell people what to think, but to let market viability determine which ideas emerge, as the speech is truly free for the first time. People tend to gravitate to where they can most express themselves through entertainment consumption, making Truth Social more than just a social media platform that communicates President Trump’s opinions.  But an entertainment platform that can replace what we have known in the past with something much better.  And if you are thinking of joining the Patriot Package for yourself, you can’t go wrong.

Aliens Attacking Earth in November: Why the Epstein story is suddenly hot

It’s been all over the news, but what are we supposed to think about it?  Harvard astrophysicists Avi Loeb and Adam Hibberd, along with Adam Crawl from the Initiative for Interstellar Studies in London, hypothesized that an interstellar object, 31/ATLAS, recently discovered on July 1, 2025, was an alien spacecraft due to its unusual trajectory and speed.  And that they were coming to attack Earth in November.  Coming from any kind of source, that was a surprising story, and it has certainly soaked up the news cycle.  But I wouldn’t worry about it very much.  To all those who are concerned, I would bet that the likelihood of the visit isn’t conquest or aggression, but rather a ballot drop of mail-in ballots for Democrats ahead of the next election.  Since Trump has pushed illegal immigration back and is deporting so many of them, Democrats need new voters.  So whether it’s illegal aliens or aliens from outer space, Democrats can’t win elections if they don’t cheat.  And in the case of this story, I’d say it was created by Democrats looking to preserve Democrat ideas about the way the world should work.  And its timing does not surprise me. Instead, it’s expected.  There are a lot of people in the world who consistently turn to alien stories when they want to scare the public into some sort of government expansion argument, and there are desperate people at every level of society who want to stop the Trump agenda.  And I would not doubt it if aliens are one of them.  If these guys think this is an alien ship, it’s not the first time they have visited Earth.  And it certainly won’t be the last.  But to assume that this is an alien attack like the ID4 movie, or some catastrophe film like War of the Worlds, is a yearning for the politics of old to avoid being washed away by the new. 

And this brings up another issue that certainly involves the Deep State and its desperation to hold power and control.  We are going to see a lot of strange things over the coming months and years, so we’ll have to use a lot of rationality to get through it.  There are many crackpots and losers like these Harvard physicists who often make such claims, but why did this one, which was posted on the arXiv preprint server as a non-peer-reviewed paper, gain public attention on July 16th 2025?  That’s when you have to ask yourself why this story, as ridiculous as it is, suddenly had legs and made it into the established news cycle.  Well, it’s for the same reason that the Epstein list is suddenly hot.  The way our intelligence departments work, who are trying to hold onto power, use fear of the unknown all the time to justify their continued secretive work without any budget accountability.  And they are trying to maintain control during a very bullish Trump administration, where many things are changing in ways they don’t like.  I think they always had this poison pill story to unleash on the public regarding Trump, because they saw how he paused a bit when Elon Musk suggested that the Epstein list wasn’t released because Trump was on it.  Truly, if anybody had any dirt on Trump at all, they would have used it far before now.  But if intelligence agencies can split up the MAGA party against Trump in some way, they are certainly going to try.  So fear and ambiguity are their weapons of choice, and undermining people’s confidence in people who are a threat to Deep State control over all of humanity through administrative bureaucracy is their means to do so.

There has suddenly been shown footage of Trump judging beauty pageants of very young girls, and they are trying to tie that to a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and the Lolita Express trips to sexual escapades with young women.  And Trump did indeed know Epstein, and he did live a playboy life for a time.  Young women are often a part of beauty because attractiveness is fleeting, and if we are going to discuss beautiful women, young women are certainly part of the conversation.  However, Trump did own the Miss Universe pageant, which included Miss Teen USA, and he was very active in managing the operation.  For Trump, it was more of an aesthetic appreciation of beauty, the way people judge high school cheerleading competitions, rather than the kind of illicit sexual practices that it looks like Jeffrey Epstein was a part of.  So, with Trump on the list, there are likely many people who were part of high society who were also.  But that doesn’t mean all of them were falling for the temptations of illicit sex for blackmail that Epstein was trafficking, likely for the same intelligence agencies who let out this recent story about the aliens attacking Earth.  The goal isn’t the truth, but instead starting rumors that might instigate discontent and undermine unity among peers.  And the hope has been for a while that if these intelligence agencies could use some of this old footage of Trump to create a lack of trust, they’d do it.  So, of course, they will try.  But if there were any there to the story, they would have used it long before now.  Liking beautiful women, who are typically young, isn’t the same as sexually abusing them and having that information used by intelligence agencies to control influential personalities for fear of those stories getting out.

In all likelihood, alien intelligence has constantly been communicating with human beings from the beginning of time.  And I would argue that modern-day America has all the power in the world, politically, to destroy the society of any attacking aliens.  I do not think, as H.G. Wells did, that a sophisticated society of high technology could beat us all in war, only to die of convenience of disease upon contact with human beings and lacking an immune system to fight off diseases that are earth-born.  And more so, alien communication likely occurs all the time through multidimensional considerations, as many shamans throughout the world have been doing for many thousands of years.  So, a couple of Harvard geeks trying to apply their favorite science fiction movie to their anxiety over government funding for their projects being cut, with Trump in the White House, doesn’t mean they understand the nature of conflict with alien societies.  That they would spin it to fit their worldview, likely shaped by science fiction movies and video games.  However, the intelligence groups that leaked the story to the public are another matter.  It’s the same strategy that has suddenly made the Epstein story hot, while it was very cool all through the Biden years.  Why is it a story six months into Trump’s wildly successful second term?  Because it’s an attempt to manipulate a gullible public, this just shows how little they respect any of us.  Suppose the spacecraft is a group of aliens coming to Earth. In that case, I think the most likely scenario is that they are bringing illegal ballots from illegal aliens, this time from space, to help Democrats in the upcoming election.  Because you know what I say, if Democrats can’t cheat, they can’t win.  And if they can’t count on illegal aliens to keep them in office, then they will have to turn to aliens from outer space.  But as far as attacking the earth, that is fear talk as usual by the people we are supposed to trust.  But obviously can’t.

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

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

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

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

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

The Bike Paths of Agenda 21: They cost a lot of money and very few people use them, especially in conservative West Chester

I’m probably the last person not to like bike paths.  I use the newly created bike paths and trails in the West Chester and Liberty Township areas extensively for the videos I make with these articles I write.  I have spent thousands of hours on them filming these videos, so I would say it’s safe to say I am an extensive user and have walked every mile of all of them many times over.  However, I understand why West Chester Trustee Mark Welch is not a fan of the proposed connecting bike path that has been discussed for running through West Chester, from the Mason area, aiming to link the Little Miami River to the Great Miami.  There is a long-planned fantasy to connect those rivers through this part of southern Ohio, and logic is not at the center of any considerations.  This issue recently arose when I was writing an article about vertiports in West Chester, and Mark and I discussed the bike paths and parks that are part of the United Nations’ Agenda 21 and 2030 sustainability plans, which end up in local planning offices across the United States.  The blind commitment to bike paths from foreign planning commissions that cost a lot of money is going to be a centerpiece to the re-election of Mark Welch and whether we embrace a future off the lessons of the past, or we follow the mindless dictates of foreign influence and their radical ideas about climate science that are at the heart of building more green space to inspire humans not to use their cars so much, and to get healthier lifestyles that don’t put too much burden on the top heavy cost health care industry that is corrupted by labor unions and pharmaceutical company monopoly status. 

The current dream is to connect bike path infrastructure along Tylersville Road, West Chester and to meet up with the existing bike path built near the Trinity Pub in Port Union.  Before I outline my next comments, I see numerous positive uses for these bike paths. I have a grandson who is riding them all over the state.  He and his dad are planning a trip to Cleveland from their home along the Loveland Bike Trail, which is used pretty extensively. However, proportionally speaking, we are still talking about under 2% of the population that uses them at any particular time.  They are not being used in the way that Agenda 21 sustainability planners envisioned in their communist fantasies.  Nothing ever works out as planned.  However, I think they are pretty neat in a luxury-oriented culture.  It’s nice to have them, but they are not used by most taxpayers, not even occasionally.  So Mark’s position in West Chester is to put the issue to a vote, and if people vote in favor of spending money on the bike paths, then he’d be all for it.  However, paying good money from the current tax base is not a good idea, as it is using government power in the wrong way.  Bike paths are not a core competency of government, and for the trustees of West Chester, it’s too much to ask them to take on.  But for the bottom feeders who are trying to knock Mark out of this race and to take his seat, completing these bike paths with taxpayer money will be one of the foundations of their campaigns as a feel-good sentiment that does not have broad appeal, but might sound like a good idea without context. 

The bike path that starts at Port Union, near the Trinity Pub, cost approximately $13.8 million to construct.  It was relatively easy because it runs along the property that used to be part of the Erie Canal, which ran from Hamilton down into downtown Cincinnati through the Mill Creek Valley.  Before there was even a railroad, or I-75, there was the Erie Canal.  That’s why Port Union is named that way, because that was a port of entry for getting on the canal.  So, what was left of it was open, unused land that was perfect for building a bike path to preserve parts of it for historical perspective.  The land was relatively easy to acquire, and to the north of it was raw farmland with minimal residential properties to contend with.  And that is the constant theme of most of the bike paths that have sprung up all over Ohio, including the one my nine-year-old grandson plans to use to ride to Cleveland and back.  I think it’s a pretty bold and cool idea for him and his dad to do, as I show them here using the bike paths for training for that adventure together.  But most of those bike paths are built along rivers and railroads, and don’t involve much eminent domain.  However, to cut through West Chester, it will be costly to create the bike path because there is a lot of private property to acquire, and numerous eminent domain cases will be a significant issue.  So it’s nowhere near as easy as building the bike path at Port Union.  Bike paths, under the best conditions, cost approximately $ 250,000 to $ 500,000 per mile.  The cost increases significantly when private property is involved, as it would be in West Chester, Ohio.  A concept that the Agenda 21 planners never anticipated, given that their monetary policy was based on Modern Monetary Theory, where they planned for governments to print fake money. In Europe, the concept of private property often takes a back seat to state needs and desires.  The people who want bike paths in West Chester are those kinds of Democrat thinkers. 

So, I spend a lot of time at the one by Trinity Pub, and I hardly ever see anybody there.  When the Trinity Pub was built, it was intended to be a hub for the bike path, and it would be a great idea if people used the trail.  But that little restaurant has barely hung on and is under its latest set of owners, who are trying to get things going there, but without much success.  I’d like to see them make it, but the bike path hasn’t helped them at all because nobody uses it.  So with all this expense involved, why do them?  Although I like and use them, the cost does not make sense.  Especially when private property acquisition is involved, these bike paths form an extensive network, and I was surprised to see how nice they are, even in remote areas between Middletown, Ohio, and Franklin, along the Great Miami River.  They are nice to have, but they are part of a luxury culture that can afford them.  They will never be used in the way the Agenda 21 planners envisioned, as a means to replace cars, save the planet from human beings, and keep people from traveling on vacation because they had plenty of parks in their neighborhoods to visit.  All the central planners involved in America got suckered by this European fantasy, and Mark Welch has declared himself not to be one of those suckers.  If voters want to raise their taxes to pay for something that they will never use, then fine.  But in the back of all logic, it says that people don’t care.  Especially if they have to pay for it out of their own pockets, and when it comes to the West Chester Bike Path to connect the Little Miami River to the Great Miami River, they just won’t.

Don’t Ever Turn the Other Cheek: Seeing and knowing everything

I would say I’m an easy person to get along with.  As long as you don’t smoke pot, drink too much, cover yourself in tattoos and body piercings, don’t cheat on your spouse, don’t live off the government as a welfare recipient, aren’t a Democrat, didn’t compromise yourself in college hazing rituals, aren’t a sexual deviant, aren’t a godless heathen, aren’t a lazy loser, if there are any people left in the world at that point, I’m very easy to deal with.  But love is not promised, it’s earned, and if people abuse their relationship with me, I hold it against them.  And I have to say that because over the Memorial Day weekend, I heard at least three times that I’m a controlling lunatic who is too difficult to deal with.  I wouldn’t say that. Instead, the people complaining, from friends and family who expected something out of me over the holiday weekend, were unhappy at my lack of appeasement of their wishes.  And that comes down to my very rigorous schedule and people who clearly don’t respect it.  I don’t make time for people who have let me down.  And when I get to that point with people, I don’t even care enough to explain it to them.  I drop them, never to look back, and many people find that unsettling.  But to answer the statement that was brought up to me, that I am so hated that when I die, nobody will come to my funeral, I say, that is fine.  I don’t lower my standards for anybody, and if nobody comes to my funeral, which I have no plan to attend anytime soon, I’m okay with that.  I don’t think it’s important to be liked in the world because to do so, you have to compromise to the weaknesses of others.  I’d rather be alone in the world and have nobody come to my funeral than to lower my standards in any way. 

And to that point, I have instructed my wife that should such a day ever occur, to burn my body and disperse it somewhere so people can’t spit on my grave and have access to me in any compromised way.  I don’t talk about it much.  People wonder what it’s like to be as opinionated as I am, and how it works out.  I would say it isn’t easy at best.  But it all comes down to expectations, how people manage their lives, and whether I choose to make time for them when they want me to.  But here’s the thing: nothing is done in the world that I don’t understand, especially regarding people.  I know all the causes and effects of why people do what they do.  Nothing surprises me.  I see through every scheme, deceit, and misplaced non-verbal communication.  I know everything they try to hide from the world, every wart on a person.  Call it a gift I have from God.  To what purpose can I use it to some good enterprise? It would be easy to abuse that talent.  It takes quite a lot of discipline to keep a skill like that pointed toward justice.  But when you have that ability, people can’t snowball you.  And when it comes to family engagements, where many people just haven’t lived very good lives, and as a result, they aren’t very good people, I see and understand why they do everything they have done and they shouldn’t expect a free pass from me. 

I genuinely let people live their lives the way they want to.  But when they show me they don’t care what their actions do to my loyalty, I show them that I care so little for them that I’ll drop them off the earth without a second thought.  That is a long-standing policy I have, and it wouldn’t bother me if it resulted in nobody coming to my funeral or inviting me to do things.  However, that is not the case; I have too many people in the world who want me to do things with them, and my phone never stops receiving text messages and emails from someone wanting something from me.  But the same thing has been happening to my immediate family, and the kind of advice I give them about people in the world.  When my family members ask me what I think of this and that, I tell them.  I tell them everything, and it turns out to be painfully right every time.   And that makes people trying to do bad things in the world very upset that they can’t operate in the shadows, because I so easily shine light on everything.  And when they can’t manipulate people I care about easily, they get angry with me for removing the illusion they have built their lives around.  I don’t go out of my way to do it.  But if I’m asked, I tell it all.  And it’s always right.  Call it a gift from God.  And I use it effectively and in the way that God designed a skill like that.  But saying that, I’m not like Jesus, I don’t turn the other cheek on anything.  I carry grudges for decades and never get over things when bad things have been done to me.  And I’m not about to start doing so. 

There is a long line of very parasitic people.  I would say most people are.  And when people I care about ask me what I think, and I warn them to watch out for people who want to associate with them because they want to loot off their essence, because they are good people and those looters aren’t good people, to beware that they don’t take your soul away from you.  Always manage the eternal component of yourself with the understanding that you can’t undo a compromised self.  And when people try to control people I care about, and my advice keeps it from happening, there will be a lot of anger.  Tough tootles.  If you don’t want the ramifications of that behavior, don’t do the behavior.  But there is nothing I don’t know about human nature.  And I have no cell in my body that seeks to appease people who have done bad things.  So if that upsets people, I don’t care.  I never forget.  I do hold things against people.  And I don’t turn the other cheek only to have it slapped again.  And if that makes me a bad person, I would say that the value system of the people who feel that way is all messed up.  Of course, a log being burned in the fire thinks the fire is evil.  I can live with that because there are a lot of people who have made themselves worthless so that they can easily be tossed into the fire to be burnt up and disposed of without a thought in the world.  And that might upset them.  But I genuinely don’t care.  People who have done bad things to themselves, I don’t forgive.  And I don’t ignore it when they’ve done it to me and people I care about.  Too many people have lived bad lives, made bad decisions, and wished to hide those things by associating with good people to keep their conduct concealed with mass collectivism.  But that doesn’t work with me.  Never forget, I see everything.  I can read the contents of people’s souls, and I know what’s really there and I use that information with great success in life.  That might make people very angry that I can do that.  But they can only blame themselves for being bad people.  You can’t hide it with money.  With community service.  Or snacks at a family gathering.  I don’t have a tolerance for bad people, and yes, I do judge and judge often.  I never signed up for this stupid notion of not judging people.  That is a dumb political position created by bad people to hide their conduct from the world.  I have the opposite view.  I judge and hold it against people forever.  And that might seem unfair to people who are too far gone. But they should have thought about that before they went there.  Don’t be a bad person, and we’ll get along just fine.

The Future CEO: They won’t come from the Linkedln losers

When I was in college, I majored in economics and philosophy, and it was apparent even then that a significant shortage was headed our way: a CEO shortage of strong, viable leadership.  And that the attack on our culture that was creating that shortage was purposeful and malicious.  And now we see it everywhere, from failed companies ranging from everything, whether we are talking about the collapse of the Frisch’s restaurant chain, Tupperware, or the Hollywood movie industry.  In every form of business, we see a class of CEOs who were taught weak politics, put in place over those reasons alone, and have choked off and killed huge portions of business sector economies.  I used to warn everyone back then, and people would laugh and giggle and call me a conspiracy theorist for what I was saying.  But as it turned out, everything was true.  We are not making Jack Welch-type CEOs anymore; clearly, people are yearning for it, which is one of the reasons why President Trump was elected back into the White House.  People don’t like the lack of leadership in the world, or what has happened to their businesses.  But if you talk to company heads from top to bottom worldwide, especially in the United States, you find these trained monkeys who don’t know what they are doing and couldn’t lead an ant colony to a breadbasket at a picnic.  Reflecting on my college days, they were only teaching Marxism as an economic viability which I thought was ridiculous and it didn’t take much to figure out that an entire generation learning that kind of garbage was of course going to be crippled in their adult lives, which is precisely the case we are seeing now.  The biggest challenge in the modern age is not returning our economy to our hands, which is occurring rapidly under Trump’s policies.  The shortage of leadership is coming out of the CEO class now, who aren’t prepared to lead companies into healthy sustainability.

Another thing that I am very critical of, just as I was of the college teaching methods, is the new trend of LinkedIn, the professional networking site.  There is a lot wrong with it, which was designed to pull leadership-oriented professionals toward a social score of acceptance that is very China-like.  It’s more about uniformity than exceptionalism, and the deficiency is certainly showing up in our culture today.  We can bring back our jobs from the impact of globalism, but can we put CEOs in place to run those companies in time to run them?  I have a lot of faith in the adaptability of human beings, especially when they are under pressure.  And I would say that we can.  However, the current recruitment method and implementation of a leadership culture, as seen on LinkedIn, is not where the future is.  Consensus building with other losers hiding behind professional titles will be smoked out quickly under the scrutiny of marketplace competition.  And companies that have gone down that road are finding themselves lacking, which is evident in the failures of so many companies these days, who followed the rules of the Obama administration and found themselves closed and bankrupt, which was always part of the plan.  Who needs an army to attack an enemy country when you can train a generation of leadership to lead their economy down the drain?  It could be argued that many of the failures we are seeing from older companies are because they are at the end of their business cycle, and new opportunities are squeezing out the old-fashioned companies with tired brand recognition.  But I would say it’s more than that.

I used to get a lot of flak for my interest in philosophy, even when majoring in it, from the same type of losers today who think LinkedIn is their key to networking salvation.  But I will say now what I said then: what you think matters, and why you think it.  Not following the orders of what some professor committed to Keynesian economics and Marxist social diatribes tells you will be important when it wasn’t going to be.  Probably the best thing I have ever done was spend those college years reading so much philosophy independently, without being told to do so by anybody.   And if more people had prepared themselves independently of the established institutionalism, they’d be better prepared for this significant change in leadership necessity, now.  And I am enjoying a certain satisfaction now because of all the criticism I endured.  The world will find a way for sure.  But it won’t come from those most trained to do it.  The market rejects bad CEOs in favor of innovation, hard work, and merit. It is not the LinkedIn values of a fancy profile picture and a padded resume that looks and sounds impressive, but it is essentially representative of a trained failure made that way by institutionalism to hit the market as a failure and bring down our entire society.  When what you learn philosophically leads to ruin, don’t be surprised when bad leaders ruin companies.  As I say that, I’m thinking of Bob Iger at Disney, who has pretty much ruined that company with bad social philosophy and a reckless assumption that the power of the company would always remain, and would never feel the effects of competition.

The world’s future leaders will not come from institutionalism; they will come from the pressure cooker of life.  Those who have survived the pitfalls of globalism with their take will be the most viable to adapt to these rapidly changing economic standards.  The marketplace will find leaders to run all these new companies.  But it won’t be by the old networking ways, but in the philosophy of success that is at the foundation of all endeavors.  Process fulfillment can’t allow group consensus to hide Marxism in the shadows, which is what has been happening.  It can’t allow the losers of LinkedIn to pad a resume and say some fancy things here and there without actually leading people to victory.  No, in a competitive environment, good leadership will be driven by a proper philosophy of success that wins the day.  Not the CEO who wanted to check all the DEI boxes and led their companies to ruin following it, as Bob Iger did at Disney, and many other huge companies suddenly struggling to maintain their markets.  The brownnoser, the boot licker, the social appeaser will not find a world conducive to their back-footed strategy.  Only the strong and wise will adapt to this rapidly changing market.  There will be a lot of failures, but those who do succeed are those who weren’t taught by institutionalism to fail, purposely.  But those who didn’t listen.  And as I look around, I am happy that I never did.  It’s easy to criticize now with hindsight being what it is.  I feel a little sorry for those who thought they had a handle on all this, because the suffering is hard on them.  But that’s how the ball bounces in a wild and woolly world.  Competition will root out the bad.  Marxism can’t hide them from the world as they have been doing.  But we will be far better off for it.

Big Tish James is in Trouble: But David Yost did the same thing

Big Tish James, the Attorney General in New York is in a lot of trouble, not just from what she actually did, misrepresenting property transactions in Real Estate, but that she created a precedent with President Trump when she used her office to attempt to destroy him and his businesses over much less serious charges.  In the Letitia James case, in one particular charge, she stated that her father was actually her husband, which was knowing fraud.  As the New York AG, she was the prosecutor of the Trump case that threatened to put him in jail for the rest of his life, and then some.  And destroy his businesses with millions of dollars in legal fees, not just destroying him, but the rest of his family and employees.  Of course, the way she behaved toward Trump has everyone showing little sympathy for her case, now that the White House has referred it to Pam Bondi at the Department of Justice.  We can’t turn away from this one.  Clearly, James planned to abuse her power to destroy people’s lives, and she was guilty herself of worse, so she has to be dealt with harshly.  Ruthlessly, with no compassion given to her attempt to manipulate the legal parameters of her situation, even if legal experts claim that her infractions were things that everybody does.  She is the New York AG, and she did those things knowingly.   Never forget that Letitia James filed a civil lawsuit against Trump, his sons, and the Trump Organization for engaging in fraudulent business practices by misrepresenting asset values to secure favorable loan terms and tax benefits.  Judge Engoron, under the push of James, found Trump guilty and ordered him to pay $454 million in a judgment, and he was barred from running a business in New York for three years.  Trump is appealing the case, and this behavior by James is needed as part of his appeal process, because the point of the appeal is to prove that the entire case was politically motivated. 

But worse than any of that is the temptation to abuse power, which we should all be concerned with after seeing how the system was thrown at Trump.  Obviously, Big Tish James was coordinating her efforts with Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan District Attorney, when he pressed 34 felony counts related to hush money payments to the adult film star Stormy Daniels.  Trump was convicted on all 34 counts on May 30th, 2024.  Two months later, Trump was shot in the head by an assassin, so looking back on all these cases and conditions, it’s not hard to see how serious the opposition was to Trump returning to the White House, and Letitia James was at the heart of all of it.  While she was doing it, she was doing far worse than what she was accusing Trump of, which is a common theme among people who are given too much government power over others.  This happens all the time, and as I heard about the Big Tish case, I couldn’t help but think of our Attorney General in Ohio, who abused his power to take down the Butler County Auditor, Roger Reynolds. Roger recently held a press conference naming Yost and stating his direct involvement in trying to put Roger in jail, essentially over some political disagreements.  Severe stuff done with the same level of malice.  These are charges that most people would roll their eyes at and not consider to be a big deal.  But in all these cases, significant fines and jail time were on the table, and it was terrifying to see the massive abuses of power going on.  Roger Reynolds will never fully recover what he lost due to the case Yost put against him politically.  I am greatly relieved that Vivek Ramaswamy put his hat in the ring to be governor of Ohio and give us a good option away from Yost, who wants to run for governor and is losing terribly to Vivek.

The lesson is that we cannot give these people too much power.  Because it’s not just Letitia James abusing her power, but we’ve seen it from another Attorney General in the State of Ohio.  And it makes you wonder how many AGs in various states have the same problem.  This is why we cannot have a government that is too big, because the members will abuse their power if given half a chance.  So we should never let off our scrutiny and always be suspicious of government people.  If their office has power, you can bet they will be tempted to abuse it.  And likely will at some point.  There are just too many cases where it happens, and there is no deterrent unless they are caught, as Big Tish has been, with severe punishment.  Letitia James planned to use her knowledge as the top cop of New York, of the law, to manipulate it to serve her real estate needs.  There is no defense in her case that she knowingly lied, indicating that her father was her husband.  That’s not a clerical accident; that was purposeful fraud.  And we can’t have AGs thinking they can get away with that behavior.  So, prosecuting her is more than a political stunt or revenge for all that she did to Trump.  It’s the only means we have to keep the system somewhat honest. 

If Trump had not won the election of 2024, he would be in jail and broke right this very minute.  All his wealth would have been confiscated, and his businesses destroyed.  And he would never leave jail alive again.  That is what Letitia James did to him, and she got her rigged conviction to hang over Trump a felony that state control could then use to their advantage over a political rival.  David Yost did the same thing to Roger Reynolds for holding an improper interest in a public contract to destroy a political rival over what Roger says was a disagreement over property tax assessments.  When we allow attorney generals to split hairs like that and destroy people with their positions, they better be squeaky clean.  And that is not the case with Big Tish.  She is guilty and deserves to have the book thrown at her and then some.  And a strong message has to be sent to all those like her who are thinking of doing precisely what she did to Trump.  This is exactly why we can never support a large government that gets away from our control.  While we need people to do these jobs, they need enough power to do them.  But we cannot allow them to get so powerful that they feel entitled to do what Big Tish did to Trump, while over the same period, she was lying on legal transactions in a far worse way, and thought she would get away with it because she was the Attorney General.  The power went to her head, and she fell to corruption.  And for the Department of Justice to set things right, they need to use Letitia James’ words against her since she set the precedent for prosecution with her actions against Trump.  The same rules apply now to her.  Only in her case the written evidence in own her hand is to the point where nobody else could be guilty.  And that is how justice must be applied.

Harvard Does Not Have the Right to Federal Money: Rethinking College Completely

Harvard is making a fool of itself with its legal action, or intent, against the Trump administration for withholding federal dollars over progressive policies being taught at that institution.  Remember, he who owns the gold rules.  The beggars in need of money do not have the leverage to command policy.  They must do what is required to get the money if they want it.  They don’t get to set policy.  Those are the rules, and they will be now, and forever.  Harvard University does not have the right to federal money.  They must do what the federal government requires to obtain that money.  And that’s the end of the story.  But let’s have an honest conversation about colleges in general, as we should be cutting off federal funding to all of them.  We should not be funding the education of people with federal dollars, which goes for all public education in general.  Education has not given us an enlightened society.  Rather, they have been recruiting centers for Democrat policies that damage kids badly in the critical years of their lives, generally.  Some kids escape into adulthood if they have good family support at home.  But most have their minds destroyed for the first twenty years of their adult lives because of our education system and we are at a point where we need to ask questions like the one at Harvard, why are we spending federal money on such a waste of money, and should we continue to use the college system as a form of higher education.  Or should education be obtained in other ways?  Because the way it is now is a complete waste of money, and kids are learning all the wrong things.  Not only would I call it a worthless experience, but it’s damaging to people the way it has been set up, and we need to change it if we want to fix what’s wrong at the core of our society.

I don’t discriminate against college-educated people.  But I have found that our current education system teaches people to think in a box when learning to think out of one is most needed.  I would point to Robert Persig’s Metaphysics of Quality for a really solid philosophical and psychological analysis of our current education system from top to bottom.  To use his metaphor, we teach people to live in the caboose of life, not to be in the engine room at the front of the train of leadership.  And that’s where we need all people to be.  Trump clearly gets it, and he doesn’t care at this point in his life if people get mad at him by protestors from Harvard or any other legacy school.  The question we have before us is whether or not a college education is effective, and the evidence shows that it’s not.  And a lot of people are functioning as adults with crippled intellects because they had their intelligence robbed from them during their college experiences.  To succeed in the college environment, they have to learn to think in a structured box of information when the real problems are out of the box, and require people to solve problems there.  People who do not have college backgrounds can get into a useful state quicker than those with a lot of college.  But those critical years up to age 22 set people up for most of their lives, and mistakes made at that point in their lives usually last a lifetime.  I have seen people reform themselves by their late 40s and 50s.  But the amount of pretentious time they spend as entitled in the box thinkers, usually cripples them for life.  And it is a real problem.  Just having education funded by the government is not the question.  It’s what people teach, at the heart of Trump’s withholding federal funds from Harvard over DEI policies.  In our culture, as it should be, you pay for what you value.  You shouldn’t have to pay for it if you don’t value it.  Harvard, or any other educational institution, is not promised money for producing a bad product. 

This came up as I was at another one of those lunch meetings, with some people who would call themselves very powerful, and we were talking about this topic and people specifically and one of these people said that so and so was a Man from Purdue University, as if that said everything that needed to be said.  This person had a predisposition to hire applicants who came out of Purdue University, which I think is profoundly dumb.  But it’s what he believes as an employer.  And his comment sparked quite a debate.  I am usually polite about my thoughts, so we had a good conversation.  But to compress two hours of talk into a few sentences here, he maintained a completely irrational hiring practice of hiring people from a university system that produced bad results that he constantly complained about.  And when I suggested that maybe he should hire from the University of Cincinnati, Dayton, or Ohio State, he acted like I was asking him to put on a rival team’s jersey on NFL Sunday.  His belief system was part of the problem in why he couldn’t find good recruits to fill his job requirements.  And when I told him for his technical positions, he would do better to hire 12-year-old kids who hadn’t been taught to fail than kids who have spent the next 10 years of their lives learning to appease liberal college professors, because they would bring those same practices into the work place, which would make them useless, he thought it was the craziest idea he had ever heard and was quite animated by the suggestion.  But it was true and he knows it.

And that’s how it is for most people.  We fund education on hope and beliefs built on feelings rather than facts.  We like our favorite college sports teams, so we support the entire institution teaching Marxism to the next generation. We don’t say anything about it because we might have won some money on a March Madness bracket.  And that is part of the shell game.  We root for college sports, which entertain us.  But we ignore what they are teaching until we find our kids coming back from college as unrecognizable Democrat ground soldiers for liberal social policies that they spend the rest of their lives trying to unlearn.  And a lot of parents save up a lot of money to throw their kids away, essentially into a system that is broken and addicted to federal taxpayer money.  Trump has every right to withhold those funds, and no lawsuit can force the public to pay for its own demise, which is what that Harvard issue will come down to.  It’s the same problem for every college education system and public school.  We have to have an intelligent discussion about what education should be, and what we should do to pay for it.  Not just unthinkingly throw money at it and hope everything works out OK.  Because it hasn’t been working, and in the state it’s in now, the best thing we could do for education is to stop funding failure.  And force education institutions to compete to see what works and what doesn’t.  Because as long as they are fat, dumb, and happy off federal dollars, Harvard and the rest of them have no incentive to change.  And they need to change a lot!

The Fed Was Always Illegal: Getting rid of horrendous preditory banking practices

I keep hearing that the stock market lost over a trillion dollars in value on this particular day, or that the trade war with China cost them a lot of money.  For which I will tell you, the money was never real.  And remember something, he who owns the gold rules.  And we have all the gold.  China is a propped-up paper tiger, and they have been exposed.  And again, remember what they did to us.  They unleashed COVID from a lab in Wuhan.  The White House is willing to say it was an accident in an experiment they should never have done with Dr. Fauci.  But I would say that they did it on purpose during an election year to tamper with our election system, and to insert Joe Biden into the White House, because they wanted Trump out, and all this tariff talk during the first administration.  The stock market has largely been propped up with phony money from the Modern Monetary Theory movement of progressive politics, and the Federal Reserve made it all possible with unholy alliances with radical leftists like Larry Fink at BlackRock, to wash the money.  And the whole inflation game was caused by making too much money chasing too few goods.  This happens when you have an independent money manager in the Federal Reserve who thinks they get to run everything without having representatives who must answer to the public.  The only concession the Federal Reserve has made on behalf of centralized bankers is that they allowed a President to appoint a chairperson just to shut up the masses.  However, this is precisely what President Jackson warned about during his war with the banks.  You can’t have a representative republic that works correctly if you have an independent organization managing your money from the perspective of global, centralized banking.  It just doesn’t work, and never should have been applied.

Fake money by an illegal money management system

Trump appointed Jerome Powell, the current head of the Federal Reserve, during his first term, and Powell has turned out to be a disaster.  They essentially printed too much money to hide the bad Biden economy and washed it through Wall Street, making inflation in the process, then dug in because so many people have made investments in the phony profits that they dare not reveal their scam.  However, someone had to reset the clock to the real value, which is what Trump is doing.  Remember when the Dow Jones was under 18,000 before Trump’s first term, after 8 years of the socialist Obama?  They weren’t doing Trump favors with Fed policy during those years that propped up massive increases in stock values. Instead, they were trying to put the genie back in the bottle to regain control of the Executive Branch.  Because they were concerned that they tried to keep Trump out of office, but people elected him anyway, three times now.  When the Fed was created in 1913 at Jekyll Island, what happened to Trump was never supposed to occur.  What we saw was an attack on America coming from centralized banking, and they intended to run our country without ever firing a shot.  While it’s true that someone needs to manage our money supply, we should have elected representatives who do it, not some independent group of bankers who essentially control our country with monetary policy.  Jerome Powell turned out to be just as worthless as Janet Yellen and Ben Bernanke, all of whom have made unholy alliances with lefty radicals like Larry Fink at BlackRock since even before the 2008 housing collapse.  You cannot give a government the ability to print endless money to pay for ever-expanding government and expect everything to work out all right. 

The Federal Reserve was always a scam, and it should be removed in the form it’s in now.  We need to rethink the whole concept, so when Jerome Powell says it is illegal to remove him as head of the Fed, he’s essentially saying that the game is rigged so that no elected representative can manage them once appointed.  They are independent of civilian oversight.  And if anybody does tamper with them, they manipulate the interest rates, wreck the stock market on a whim, because they control the money that goes into it, and bring great pain to people who get in their way. If you have dealt with many bankers, most of them are pretty ruthless, horribly unethical, and power hungry.  Predatory banking is the theme of our society, just beyond the reaches of polite discourse.  If you recall Mr. Potter’s banking relationships in It’s a Wonderful Life, I would say that’s a rated G impression of the truth.  People who control monetary policy today are ruthless and generally unethical.  And they are filled with flat-out lying manipulators like Larry Fink.  He didn’t become so powerful because he was more intelligent than everyone else.  But because he was dumb enough to put himself as a middleman between centralized banking to wash money through quantitative easing and then buy up the assets of American companies through their boards to run them with woke politics.  And the Fed made it all possible.  So Trump needs to run Powell off his post.   Or, to make his life so miserable that he doesn’t want to do the job.  Most predatory bankers are nothing more than terrorists who play golf, rather than run around kidnapping innocent people and killing them like the Palestinians do with Hamas.  They are all the same.

The Fed was illegal when created, and it’s just as bad today.  And I say unlawful because it works against the Constitutional framework the Founding Fathers of America intended.  Even though monetary policy was not explicitly defined in our Constitution, it should have been.  Centralized bankers worldwide found a workaround legally, which is why the Jekyll Island meeting happened in the first place.  I’m not going to say that it was a vast conspiracy; I think the Jekyll Island participants wanted to do what they thought was right from their perspective.  But it was the wrong thing to do, and the Federal Reserve should never have been created.  It was a mistake that put our country’s fate in the hands of predatory banking.  And we had to stop the cycle at some point in time, and that is one of the reasons we elected Trump.  That’s also why these tariffs will work: they force value where value actually resides and take the power of centralized banking away from them to determine winners and losers with propped-up phony money printed to saturate markets with bad fiscal policy.  They printed money and drove up your 401K plans to shut you up while they stole your country from you.  And now we are taking it back, and they violently oppose it.  Which we would expect them to do.  But don’t think you have to appease the Fed to have a good life.  They should never have been in charge of the financial policy of free people because that freedom is an illusion.  And they are losing that ability during this Trump administration, and it’s about time.  I think our government needs to eliminate the Fed completely and rethink monetary policy.  Someone needs to manage our money supply.  However, they need to be elected and managed by the public through elections.  They are not independent of government management, so they can rule in the background to manipulate the whole thing with phony money.  We have to put an end to it all which is what we are in the process of doing presently.

Of course, I’m not writing this for a general audience, but for those who know who they are and can help with the situation.  With all this talk about Jerome Powell spending tens of millions of his own money to defend the Federal Reserve from questions coming out of the Trump administration, the key to that battle is in the complicity of the Fed and their policies on Modern Monetary Theory, which they deny, but are very guilty of.  And their relationship to BlackRock and what BlackRock has done with the money provided by the Fed through horrendous monetary policy.  They are guilty and they know it.  And they can’t defend that guilt, so they will do whatever they need to do to divert people’s attention from the real matter.  So don’t allow them to set the terms for the battle, take it away from them, and keep the focus of the discussion on what they are most guilty of.  And let them choke on it. They won’t win in court.  The Fed is guilty during 2008 of losing control of its balance sheet, by buying up bonds to fund deficits and using BlackRock to clean the money through Wall Street.  The balance sheet in 2008 was $900 billion.  By 2022, it grew to $7 trillion.  Ladies and gentlemen, that is a purposeful mismanagement of the US monetary system and criminal neglect by any definition.  And that is where the real fight is, and of course, to wash his hands of the complicity, Jerome Powell will spend millions of his own money to defend himself in court because his only hope is to go on offense and attack the attacker.  But he is as guilty as guilty gets.
