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.

World War III, Armageddon, and the Fight Against Israel: It’s just the attempt of Marxists to control lazy people through their own stupidity

I would say to everyone to relax.  The fears about this being another World War or that we are living through Armageddon are hardly the case.  Hamas’s latest attack in Israel is just the latest failure of globalism, just as is the case of Ukraine being invaded by Russia, and the threats of China invading Taiwan.  To understand the problem, you must admit to what point globalism is the villain and always has been.  The people at the World Economic Forum, the old Socialist International people.  The climate terrorists.  The secret societies.  International finance.  All doors of trouble have the pathways of discontent leading to their door from all these troubled regions, and these veiled activists leave behind the fingerprints of evil.  But it all points to one essential thing: the right to be lazy by the Marxists behind all these movements, and that is certainly the case behind the Palestinians who are dedicated to wiping away Israel from the face of the earth.  And that is always the position of the indigenous people’s argument.  Islam was not even created until 610 AD in an attempt to make the polytheism of the Arab world more reflective of the Christian and Jewish world.  The Jewish people had been in Israel for over 1000 years before the Muslims attacked Israel in 638 AD, just twenty years after the start of their religion.  Before that, Israel had been invaded many times, first by the Mesopotamians, and then the Egyptians.  Then, by the Romans.  The Israelites had been displaced many times leading up to any discussion of the modern tensions, mostly propped up by the winds of war and who blows on them to ignite their energy.  If you take away the outside antagonisms, there would be no threat of war because the characters advocating for war are actually after something else, and it isn’t the end of the world as we know it. 

The Israelites have always been a dynamic people and have had a prosperous society; they have managed to stay alive long enough to be the most extended community of people on the face of the earth, and obviously the most persecuted.  But their existence came about due to the rules of a prosperous country. What makes a nation great are the philosophies of value that it beholds, and the laws that came from the line of Abraham, then down into Moses, and many since then have shown the world what the success of Western Civilization can bring everywhere.  Many tricky characters have been involved in the interpretation of history on all sides, and they have purposefully released versions of history to control exclusively mass populations.  For instance, in the Near East which the Greeks interpreted, there isn’t much mention about where Jesus was leading up to his teachings in the Holy Land.  Or what many think happened after he was hung on the cross, with nobody to witness.  Studying the old Silk Road brings about a lot of much-needed perspective on the spread of Buddhism into the Holy Land through Jesus.  But before that, Soloman’s empire extended all the way to Japan, as I have pointed out before with the Tombs of Kufan all over the Osaka region, along that same Silk Road.  Before Solomon and his father King David, we have the son of King Saul, Gad, who founded the city of Kandahar in Afghanistan. So many of the events we read about in the Bible were purposely edited to confine these movements from our understanding of global politics that has been thriving for many thousands of years, well before the tempers of the modern era are attempting to cry foul for the purposes of global domination. 

Laziness is behind much of the trouble, an attempt to spread the Marxist messages of economic terrorism behind the façade of religious definitions to disguise the attempt.  But the object of their real menace is laziness and protecting their right to it.  Marxists do not want productive people in the world, and since the Jewish people have embraced productivity as a value system of their culture, they have always been the subject of attack before European Masons, descending from the Knight’s Templars, invented Marxism to control the world through international finance.  Attacking people over their desire to work is much more complicated, and even international finance people appreciate a culture that works hard.  So, they passively aggressively attack value in the world behind a religious façade, hoping that other lazy people will never do the work of investigation to see what a sham it all is.  Rather than attack nations of people, because they work hard, the attack is over history interpreted by the same forces that want to rule the world through their version of the story.  And that is certainly the case with Islam.  If you read the Quran, it becomes clear what it was quickly: a political book, not a religious one, meant to gain power over what was left of the Romans who had ruled the region for a long time and destroy the forces of progress at that time which had reached into the Arab world, the descendants of the polytheism of ancient Mesopotamia and the gods of Baal, Moloch, and Ishtar, along with many others who would end up showing themselves as the gods of Greek society, renamed.  And the Romans tried to unite their empire through Christianity.  All along these historical efforts, and with the tampering of eastern thought always looming in the background along the Silk Road where supposedly Jesus was a king in Kashmir after his supporters broke him free from his tomb to be healed in the Himalayas where his grave resides to this day, have kept the world stirred up in controlled ways that are obvious in conflicts like the one in modern-day Israel. 

Why does anybody think the modern wars of Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and China are filled with political volatility?  And especially in the Middle East?  I would propose that the contemporary governments of globalism stir up those wars to keep the past from people’s minds so they can maintain the power over weak, lazy people with the interpretation of history they have formed to enrich themselves.  And if people were actually to connect all these dots, which isn’t hard, then they would see who is actually pulling the strings in the world for the exploitation of labor, and the spread of Marxism to the enticed lazy people of all cultures for the ultimate, centralized control over all of them.  Yet to know these things would be to take away the manipulators’ power, which is very easy to do.  But World War III?  Armageddon?  No, just the attempt by global manipulators to take advantage of lazy people they want to rule over and tap into their superstitious beliefs about the end of the world which has been looming in the background of most religions for tens of thousands of years.  When globalism and its economic attempts at Marxism came along, it showed how controlling people through selected history and filtered through religious interpretation that this new ability to rule through secrecy became such a desired trait of shadow governments.  And once you realize that, you will see clearly that the fight between the Palestinians and their Hamas terrorists is just a disguised attempt to impose Marxism on regions that still show positive attributes of independence and national productivity.  Ultimately, the motivation for such antagonisms is the greatest threat to the world that anybody has known: the exploitation of lazy people for the right to rule over them through ignorance.  But the truth is always just a few layers deep and easy to expose where the real villains have been hiding all along.

When Too Many Rules Destroy Happiness: Observations from a Disney World vacation experince

For most of September, I have been traveling. It has only been recently that travel restrictions regarding COVID-19 were lifted in places I needed to go professionally, like Canada, and Japan so these needed visits had been stacked up and a long time required. That was also the case for a family vacation to Disney World, which I had intended to do for the last three years while my grandchildren, mostly close in age, were prime for the experience. Covid restrictions and mask mandates ruined all those plans, so we waited for them to be removed before committing to anything. In September 2023, a slight window opened to do everything, so I stayed swamped catching everything up. By the end of September, I got off a flight from Tokyo, parked my car, hooked up our RV, and towed it to Florida for a week in Disney World to stay at their wonderful campground, Fort Wilderness. We almost canceled it again because of all the new policies at Disney, but we determined that this was the time if we were ever going to take the family to Disney World. Because as I have said many times over the last decade, I don’t think Disney will survive as a company. And after going there again and comparing the experience to just three years prior when my wife and I went there to see some of the new options they had, there is no question, that Disney is failing everywhere behind the veil of happiness, and I can see the entire thing completely falling apart for many reasons they will never tell you about in the media. But the Fort Wilderness Campground, an official resort for Disney was fantastic, at least from the façade of a vacation experience, and I was happy we went when we did.

From the area I walked around in my video of Fort Wilderness, we could take the boat over to Magic Kingdom and get to all the other parks, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Epcot Center with the park hopper option. It was all costly, but I could show my children and grandchildren many exciting things over three days, and camping at the Fort Wilderness Campground was one of the best experiences I have ever had. It was comfortable, luxurious, convenient, and splendid in everything you expect from a lifetime vacation experience. When I think of Disney I think of a media empire built on family values, and of Fort Wilderness itself, I think of the Davy Crockett television show and Zorro. These days, Disney is more of a princess place, but there are still all the excellent references to Americana that I found very refreshing, such as the clear statement at the entrance to Liberty Square, “The hope for freedom for all. And the courage to fight for it at any cost.” Walt Disney never wanted people to forget what a miracle America was, and he dedicated several parts of his amusement parks to that very service. I wanted to take my family there while the parks were still in their heyday. As for what I wanted out of the trip, I am thrilled with the results. The children were happy even though we averaged about 6 miles of walking daily with the park hopper passes. We saw a lot, experienced a tremendous amount of information, and we had a great six days at Fort Wilderness Campground going to the pool, hanging around the restaurant and trading post, and enjoying camp in one of the best in the world. We purposely picked the 100 loop, which requires a lot of advanced planning so that we were a close walk from the boat dock which had us coming and going constantly.

Yet, to my eyes the mistakes were obvious. Disney, because it’s a giant corporation with many thousands of employees to maintain has destroyed itself by the weight of its own success, like many major corporations do, and this goes way beyond the recent woke policies from BlackRock that have seriously destroyed their business model for good. The current park attendance will soon be a thing of the past because of their killed market share worldwide. Bob Iger, the current CEO should have never returned, and I’m sure he’s realizing that now. Disney needs to constantly produce fresh content that makes a billion dollars each at the box office, and those days are mostly over for them because of the status of the current youth, YouTube options, and their alienation of conservative Americans. For instance, most of the vacationers are Trump supporters at the Fort Wilderness Campground. However, the employees are mostly Democrat-leaning and to offset this discrepancy, Disney has a lot of rules they impose on their workforce to keep everyone lined up correctly. But what they end up with is something much like their rides, everything is great so long as you stay on the rails. But the illusions fall apart quickly if you step out of the boat.

And that became most obvious when we were all exhausted one night. Nobody felt like cooking, so we went to Crockett’s Tavern and the Trail’s End Restaurant to get some pizza. On one of them, we asked for a half and half, one side being deluxe, the other completely cheese because none of the little ones like toppings yet. You’d think that we asked those Disney employees to commit murder, they had a meltdown that involved discussions of being fired and all kinds of drama. It was like being in West World where the robots suddenly started shooting the customers. It was odd, but that wasn’t the only time. What was clear to me was that the expensive façade of the Disney vacation experience was thinner than it had ever been and it wasn’t taking much for that illusion to be shattered for the consumer. Disney had adopted many rules to keep their radical workforce in line and on the message that they had destroyed that personal touch that happy individuals bring to work with them. I’ve been to Disney World many times, and this most recent time showed clear signs of stress behind a radicalized workforce that was coming out against the customers such as we saw over that simple pizza. The pizza was good, and we had a fantastic time with our family. But after some old timers still working at Disney are gone, the next generation is not there to pick up the task and carry it into the future. Disney could hide this from the world so long as they could throw money at the problems. But they can’t even do that anymore. In the news this week, right after we left, Disney had to raise their ticket prices to their parks and there are reports that the CEO is seeking a peace treaty with the Republicans of Florida. The woke battles have left Disney permanently damaged as most people inclined to spend a lot of money at Disney World are also MAGA supporters. Disney joined the wrong politics in a volatile economic environment, which has been costly to them. We enjoyed ourselves. I am glad we made the trip now for the historical value of such a Disney experience in American culture. But given many of the things I observed, it won’t be there forever. It’s failing even worse than I had thought it was.

The Biden Administration is Guilty of the Hamas Attack on Israel: If you want to be safe and protect your family, carry a gun

A very ancient evil was evident on the faces of the Hamas attackers in Israel, and they wanted the world to see it. A lot is going on with that attack, but the key takeaway I think best came from Jack Posobiec when he talked about the quality of actual intel people who should have warned the world that this attack was coming. Jack is a frequent contributor on the WarRoom podcast and has some background in military intelligence, so he should know, and it’s been my experience as well. Intel agents aren’t what we’d like them to be, which are Jason Bourne and James Bond types of characters; all too often, they are hipsters standing around the office in hiking tennis shoes sipping on coffee. What we see in the movies is a myth; it’s what we’d like to aspire to. But reality is a long way from such ambitions. And it’s because of this that the world is such a dangerous place. We invest a lot of money in government to make us feel safe, yet something like this attack on Israel can still happen. So, it has all been an expensive illusion and is a very sobering reminder of why we have a Second Amendment. Those poor people in Israel, where entire families were killed when Hamas decided to make a move of outright terrorism against their sworn enemy, the creation of Israel in the first place, would have been far better off if they had been carrying guns and could have shot back. Because in the end, that’s the only answer to such evil, which is very much a part of the world, especially the dangerous world of liberalism as radical Marxists everywhere have made it. Many evil people were blowing on the fires of that Hamas attack in the background, and the lesson is that the world is not safe, and the government is not there to protect people. Instead, the opposite is the case.

The Biden administration knew this attack was coming, and so did everyone else. That is why the border policy of the Biden people suddenly wanted to build Trump’s wall, a reversal from them that had a lot of people scratching their heads. They know what they have done, and without question, there are many sleeper cells of Hamas and other terrorists operating within the United States, hiding in the density of our cities until they decide to perform a similar attack. The only reason something like that hasn’t happened yet in America is because of the amount of guns that we own. It is significantly more challenging to behave as Hamas did in Israel when the public is as armed as in America. Gun-free zones still have a lot of danger, but the house-to-house raids, the checkpoints where entire families were slaughtered, and the young women raped next to their husbands and parents wouldn’t occur without bullets flying in the other direction. And when you see that blank look on the faces of the Biden people in the American government, and the mindless clinging to sending more money to Israel to show support is their only answer of reassurance, that’s how bad it is. Only gun ownership can protect people from such an audacious attack. And that would be my advice to everyone in the world who can; as the Administrative State continues to fail and the Deep State withers under the pressure of their destructive policies that they can’t hide from the public any longer, the animals of the world, groups like these Hamas terrorists, are going to emerge and do what humans have done for thousands of years when values are removed from their core conduct. And the danger is never far behind.

The Biden and the Obama administrations before them are to blame; they have been paying off terrorists in Iran, supporting the terrorist state with money infusion at every subversive opportunity, including the 6 billion recently that has many people talking. But rather than let the radical Marxist elements hiding behind the Quaran whither away under their weight, these progressive globalist groups have sought to keep Iran alive and well to support state-sponsored terrorism worldwide. So that is why there is a Hamas terror cell, to begin with, and as many of those Palestinian sympathizers said in New York rallies in the wake of this devastation, they see themselves as the resistance to evil and imperial Israel, which they are determined to destroy. I’ve given the history before; Islam was a tactical invention of the Arabs from the last days of the Roman Empire to push back against Christianity in the region. I’ve read the Quaran many times and know it very well, and my opinion of it is not one of divine revelation but of political intent to undermine Roman influence at that time and the Crusades that followed. It was always a creation to hide the old gods of Mesopotamia and Canaan behind a solitary figure and attack the very premise of Western Civilization. So, there isn’t any peace, as many initially supported Israel’s creation through secret societies. The people of the Near East and the East would never allow such a power to emerge, so they would always plot and scheme its destruction. The only thing that keeps them in check is the threat of force, a strong United States supporting Israel, or personal power from gun ownership.

I would say that many of the evil forces captured on video wanted the world to be outraged.  But the people committing the acts are too stupid to do much of all this alone.  They have a network of influence that empowers them, and when you pay terrorists to be terrorists, as the Biden administration has done, those malicious animals will be inclined to do what they did.  But the message to the world is frustrated fear, just as it was with Covid.  In election-year politics, the globalists are grabbing for straws now as they see where populism is going.  Ukraine hasn’t been working to unite the world behind a cause, which taps into ideas of biblical apocalypse and diverts people from the economic depression that is getting ready to hit the books.  Or the antics of the Biden crime family.  China’s desire to attack Taiwan while the world is watching the tragedy of the biblical homeland and has their minds occupied by audacity.  Everyone needs to know that you are on your own regarding safety and security.  The CIA, the FBI, and other intel agencies supposed to keep everyone safe are filled with the wrong people.  Not the tough guys of our movies but the social rejects who couldn’t get a real job doing real things.  We saw that failure during 9/11 where the CIA and FBI didn’t compare notes, and we ended up with a bunch of panicky politicians throwing money and more government at the problem as if that would solve everything.  But it only made the world more dangerous because when you pay terrorists, even with appeasement, you get more terrorism. After all, they see it gets their attention.  The guilty parties were always saying peace at all costs when the maniacal evil we could see on the terrorist faces of Hamas was so raw and quickly displayed that it continues unchallenged.  Ultimately, the only thing that keeps the world safe, somewhat so, is gun ownership, which everyone should be pushing for, not just in the United States.

‘Irresistible Revolution’ by Matthew Lohmeier: Marxism is everywhere and people are just now willing to admit to it

I was having a perfect top-grade Kobe steak in Japan with a friend of mine, a retired colonel in the military when the next layer of discussions started to happen. Usually, in polite conversation, you talk about all the surface stuff from the time you order until the food arrives, between 15 to 20 minutes. And in those conversations, you talk about family, hobbies, and general interests that are usually neutrally driven, and non-political. I typically have many of those where the actual talk of anything never has time to hatch. Yet these days, more often, that polite conversation is not happening and people are discussing with me the heart of most matters, the actual survival of the human race in what appears to be the apocalypse as described by John in the Book of Revelation. Usually, among military people, people who work all their lives with ranks and procedures have typically kept their opinions to themselves. But growing among this group is a concern that they have had for a long time, accelerated by their observations of woke policies advancing into the military, they are not happy about it, and they want to do whatever they can to save it. My advice to them is to vote for Trump in the next election. But our dinner conversation went further than that, and a book recommendation came my way which I then read quickly once I returned to my room, and finished while on the plane back to the States. I was surprised by it because I usually get recommended these types of books, and I don’t learn much new. But the book Irresistible Revolution by Matthew Lohmeier was excellent and current. It’s only a few years old, but as I read it, I was surprised by the content because it went down the rabbit hole on Marxism in America in ways I had not seen before from what I would consider a mainstream, military personality.

Honestly, this is the talk of the world; people aren’t happy, normal, regular, everyday people. They ask me about the crazy politics in the United States and their first concern is “When will Trump be back,” because the world wants a strong dollar, and they want a political defender of it because most of the world sees what’s been happening now that the trouble has arrived at their front door by way of altered supply chains, the hidden tax of inflation, and the moral depravity of the current generation. And especially military people, once they achieve a high enough rank to express their opinions, they are concerned by what they see, which is the case of this author has a very respectable military career that migrated into the recent Space Force and has several advanced degrees. He’s not Alex Jones or Glenn Beck, who is known for conspiracy theories; he is a regular guy who has been among the best that the military produced, and I was surprised to hear other knowledgeable people beginning to talk about the cost of woke policy to American policy generally, and how destructive it has been. It was something that they wouldn’t have been caught doing before 2019, which was the last excellent year for America in most categories before Covid came along, and the unmasking of Marxism overtly showed itself to an unsuspecting public. What was unique about this particular book, Irresistible Revolution was that it was saying about Marxism much of what I have, but it was coming from another reliable source with a cutting critic that was very refreshing, and helpful to many people who are now clamoring for some sense of sanity, wondering what is wrong with the world.

It’s true, even though the Illuminati only lasted for just over a decade as a secret society political movement, before it was eradicated, dissolved under its own pressure, or went underground and stayed underground behind the Masonic activity disguised as something else, what political people would in the future call globalism, Marxism was a creation by them to perform precisely what we are seeing today, the overthrow of all the world’s governments so that a one world government ran by these secret society orders could then run everyone from the background. The culmination of all these plans over the last several centuries was in Covid, used as a bioweapon of terrorism to stun the world into global compliance. But the goal was always the spread of Marxism to every corner of the world to gain control of powerful countries’ governments in an international chess game meant to confiscate the world’s wealth into a centrally controlled power. Don’t forget Karl Marx and his friends at the time were Masons, and it was through that order that Marxism spread behind the many social masks they wore in public to advance the old aims of the Illuminati, which created the policies of Marxism and then spread them. How does anybody think that Vladimir Lenin was in exile and suddenly, by train, was sent to St Petersburg to overthrow Russia, and it did it on its own? That sounds pretty wild to regular people who don’t read many books and get their news from CNN or Fox News. But that is part of the mask that has hidden Marxism from everyone’s views because it was too wild of an idea even to be accurate. Yet, now we know it was all too real all along.

I have known these things about Marxism in our culture for the last three decades.  It has only been recently, though, that all the dots connected into how Marxism became the weapon of choice by the global insurgents and how they were able to spread their message, which was particularly appealing to low-level masonic initiates who thought they were studying the workings of Christ and not the ancient wisdom of Thoth and the seeding of the earth by an experiment of the gods contained in hidden history that isn’t so hidden these days.  The government of the world by these people using selected biblical passages to soft sell it to an unsuspecting public was Marxism, and we have it dripping wet all over American culture because nobody knew what they were dealing with.  The names were changed, and the motivations sold as wholesome and fair, until those masks have come off over the last few years to show what they were all along.  And in that crisis, we have very good people like the colonel I was talking about and military people like Matthew Lohmeier, who are heroically ringing the bell to alarm others to their discoveries.  I read Irresistible Revolution and thought it was about time for this level of conversation.  People just weren’t ready to admit to it before Trump came along and exposed this maniacal scheme.  But the truth is what it is, and Matthew Lohmeier hit the nail on the head.  And I can’t recommend enough to people his excellent book on Marxism.  But I would add, that it’s not just in the military, but in all levels of society, especially in corporate culture.  And Marxism will have to be destroyed everywhere in the world.  It’s the current world war.  It’s wrapped up in finance, entertainment, and politics; Secret societies spread it, not so secretly, and now the damage is apparent.  And before us for time to judge our reaction to it.  And with all that said, that Kobe steak was delicious, as was the conversation afterward.

Why Not Lynda and Isaac: I’d rather vote for Democrats because at least you know what you are getting

It has not been very pleasant. I have been traveling a lot across the world, and at each airport stop once arriving back into cell phone coverage, I have been flooded with text messages and calls wondering why I still defend the Lakota school board member Darbi Boddy and do not have the same kind of sympathy with current school board president, Lynda O” Conner, and member Isaac Adi. I understand the concerns, but neither Lynda nor Isaac are conservatives, and you know what I always say. I love all Republicans until they show me that they aren’t. There isn’t a situation where Lynda and Isaac give the illusion of a conservative school board. At the point I’m at now, I’d instead remove the illusion and let the Democrats have it so we can hang them on all the problems later. Playing this game with Lynda and Isaac is lying to ourselves, and I see no point in doing it. All it does is cause further brand damage to the Butler County Republican Party brand. My view on these silly disputes is that they are small-minded, who in their right mind cares about power on the school board except for people who don’t bring much value to anything else in their lives. Watching what Lynda has been willing to do to achieve such silly power has disappointed me. The school board is a part-time gig at best. It should never generate the kind of political games from Lynda’s camp, and I cannot support her or those propping her up. I have given them a chance. I’ve worked with Lynda, and that picture Isaac Adi has with Jim Jorden is one that I took. I have tried to help all of these people. But only one hasn’t lied to me, at least that I know of yet. And that is Darbi Boddy. The rest of them have been horrendous, and if that’s the best we get, we might as well vote for Democrats.

This coming from a guy whose son was sentenced to life in jail for pedophilia.

I’ve heard a thousand times, that Darbi lied to everyone during the vetting process, and represented herself as a calm, collective, friendly person willing to play ball. I’ve heard from even friends of hers that Darbi engages in personal outbursts and is very aggressive. I had experience with Darbi before she was elected, and I have had several complex discussions with her since; I can say that she has always been honest, even very Christian, much more so than I initially thought. She has values and she defends them. And she has never been crazy or violent around me, and maybe she had a right to be. I always liked Darbi Boddy, but I like her much more now after two years in office than I did the year leading up to the election where she and Isaac ran together as an endorsed Republican Party ticket. Darbi has been my favorite among all the people I have dealt with on the Lakota school board over the last decades. I don’t think she misrepresented herself during the fundraising and campaign stage. I think what happened was that Lynda used her to get the vote for the school board president position then quickly turned against her when the mask debates were getting heavy during Darbi’s first month after being sworn in. And that betrayal hurt her, and it has only gotten worse since, not because of Darbi, but the behavior of the other school board members.

Showing they have control of power while real crimes are abundant without their attention

You might have heard in the news that Isaac Adi won his restraining order against Darbi Boddy in court, where Lynda was nearby blowing on the fire to help it burn. Lynda is the one who lied and misrepresented what she was up to. Isaac indeed misrepresented himself to me and I am excessively disappointed in him. Darbi has not disappointed me. Lynda has. Isaac has. And the rest of the characters fall somewhere along those lines. My policy in all things in life is that I’ll give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but once I find out you’ve lied to me, it’s over. And it’s over forever. There is no forgiveness. So that is why I still support Darbi Boddy but am very much against Isaac Adi and Lynda O’Conner. Everyone knows that I do not like Julie Shaffer, one of the other school board candidates. Despising her is a more accurate term. I would vote for her before I would Lynda O’Conner because I think Julie is more honest, and at least I know what kind of Democrat radical I am dealing with. They all register as Republicans, but their actions always tell the truth about them. After watching that mess, which likely will be overturned on appeal, the protective order against Darbi from Isaac because his little feelings have been hurt by how aggressive she is, I’m willing to call it a day on the whole election for the Lakota school board. Think how absurd all this is; Sheriff Jones is threatening to arrest Darbi to help his buddies on the school board when he can’t even arrest all the people showing an interest in abusing children which caused all this trouble to begin with. All those who have helped Lynda will have to learn a hard lesson. Don’t call me because I will tell you I told you so. Out of all these characters the only one who has consistently told me the truth has been Darbi, which is why I still support her and have nice things to say about her. She has been very respectful to me, my wife, and conservative politics. And that is supposed to be what we are all fighting for.

Hey, everyone only has themselves to blame. Around 20 great young people wanted to run for political office, and the Republican party could have gotten younger with fresh people with long shelf lives.  What will Lynda do? Give Butler County 4 more years, of what?  And will Isaac be the future of the Butler County Republican Party?  He’s getting restraining orders against women!  People like Darbi make people want to go out and vote Republican, and several people like her would be good.  However, the Party decided to pick controlled assets they felt more comfortable with rather than people who would make the party better and represent the voters of Butler County.  Lynda and her gang have played the game of personal destruction and the damage left in the wake is her fault, and those who helped her along—trying to talk me into throwing Darbi in as an equal failure would be dishonest.  I think Darbi has every right to be upset at everyone who has been terrible to her.  People of value often find that their feelings get hurt, and she’s disappointed in other people.  Not the other way around.  With all that, it should be pretty simple why I support Darbi Boddy.  I would love to see a school board with four more like her.  But that won’t be the case this time around; Lynda is the one who went against the plan and misrepresented to everyone what she wanted.  And I’m not OK with that.  Darbi, in my experience, was a good person who was easy to work with until she was sabotaged with an effort a few months into her term to be removed from office.  And that kind of personal sabotage is just another form of election fraud.  The voters picked Darbi.  Lynda and others have worked to undo that election, and that is the worst of the worst in my book.  And why Darbi is not in the same boat as Lynda and Isaac.  And why I support her and not them.
