Psychedelics, Skull Cults, and the Politics of Heaven: Why Christianity Broke the Cycle of Appeasement to Non-Human Intelligence

I have been carrying these questions in the background of my thinking for decades. The frequency with which they demand attention has risen sharply since the recent UAP disclosures. When the best technology the Air Force possesses cannot keep pace with something that behaves more like a ghost than a craft, the old categories collapse. It is not enough to say a flying saucer is real. It is not enough to say a religious claim is real. I want to know what causes people to believe what they believe, what political order forms around those beliefs, and what self-interest drives the entire system. Once you understand the political motivation behind belief, you understand the kind of society people are actually building—and whether you should support it.

That is why the conversation around Brian Muraresku’s The Immortality Key landed with such force. The book is not merely another academic argument about ancient wine. It is a direct challenge to the sanitized version of early Christianity most of us inherited. And it raises a harder question: if the original Eucharist carried a pharmacological charge, what does that tell us about the entities people were trying to contact, and why did Christianity’s later institutional form deliberately move away from that charge?

The Immortality Key and the Pagan Continuity Hypothesis

Muraresku’s central claim is straightforward and explosive. The original Christian communion was not a symbolic sip of ordinary wine. It was a potent psychedelic sacrament inherited from the Greek mysteries, specifically the cult of Dionysus and the rites at Eleusis. For nearly two thousand years, the greatest minds of antiquity—Cicero among them—traveled to the sanctuary at Eleusis to drink the kykeon. They claimed the experience removed the fear of death. The recipe was a state secret punishable by death.

The chemistry focuses on ergot, the fungus that grows on barley and rye—the same fungus from which Albert Hofmann first synthesized LSD in 1938. The theory is not new. It was proposed in 1978 by R. Gordon Wasson, Albert Hofmann, and Carl A. P. Ruck in The Road to Eleusis. Hofmann and Ruck’s academic careers suffered for it. The idea that the foundations of Western philosophy and early Christianity rested on controlled visionary pharmacology was too much for the scholarly stomach of the time.  And when you think about that very obvious claim, and the way those names were ostracized, you can see the root cause of a much larger problem.  

Muraresku spends years in the Vatican archives and archaeological sites looking for the transition. He notes that ancient wine was rarely plain fermented grape juice. It was routinely an infusion of herbs, roots, and potentially fungi—a pharmakon. The Gospel of John, the most Greek of the Gospels, uses language for the wine that suggests something more complex than table drink. Jesus’ miracle at Cana occurs in a cultural zone saturated with Dionysian imagery. In early Jesus centuries, Dionysus and Jesus were sometimes treated as interchangeable figures of death, rebirth, and ecstatic immortality.

The book’s most compelling social argument concerns women. For millennia, the preparation of these visionary beverages was women’s work. As Christianity became institutionalized and more patriarchal, particularly from the fourth century onward, those women and their spiked drinks became a threat to the emerging clerical monopoly on the divine. Muraresku reads the Inquisition’s language of pharmaka and sorcery not merely as superstition but as the systematic eradication of a competing technology of direct encounter with the sacred. The shift, in his framing, is from pharmacological Christianity to placebo Christianity.

I want Christianity to succeed. I do not read Muraresku as an enemy of the faith. He identifies as a Catholic who is trying to recover rather than destroy the Eucharist. Yet the implications cut in two directions at once. If the earliest layers of the tradition carried a visionary intensity later deliberately muted, then the institutional Church both preserved and constrained something powerful. And if that intensity was chemically mediated, we must ask what, exactly, the initiates were encountering.

Beer, Skulls, and the Long Continuity of Death Cults

The problem is larger than Greece. When I go back further—ten thousand years further—the pattern sharpens.

At Göbekli Tepe (the site that Muraresku and others still sometimes refer to by earlier or variant names in popular discussion), the evidence is no longer subtle. T-shaped pillars, snakes carved everywhere, a clear skull cult, and chemical traces consistent with beer brewing. People were not merely gathering to eat. They were preparing fermented beverages, removing soft tissue from human heads, drilling holes, and displaying the skulls in ritual contexts under carefully oriented architecture. The same complex appears, in different local forms, along the Jordan Valley in the dolmen fields that stretch from the Golan south toward the Dead Sea, and again in the megalithic “Wheel of Giants” (Rujm el-Hiri / Gilgal Refa’im) east of the Sea of Galilee—roughly 160 meters across, built of more than 40,000 tons of basalt, aligned with solar and stellar markers.

I have scoured the archaeological literature for a serious treatment of these Jordan Valley dolmens from roughly 10,000 to 3,000 BC. The silence is telling, just like any discussion dealing with the use of wine in Greek culture outside of mainstream opinion. Mainstream discussion prefers the safer Bronze Age and later. Yet the structures are there. The alignments are there. The continuity of ritual astronomy with later Hopewell earthworks in the Ohio Valley is difficult to ignore once you stop treating the Atlantic as an absolute barrier.

Pure native copper from the Lake Superior region was extracted for thousands of years. Isotopic and purity studies continue to raise questions about whether some of that copper moved farther than orthodoxy allows. The Windover bog people of central Florida preserve soft tissue and brain matter from the same deep time window. The Newberry Tablet and other Michigan finds remain controversial, but the pattern of megalithic and copper-working activity across the Great Lakes and the Upper Peninsula does not vanish because it is inconvenient.

Everywhere you look in this pre-biblical window, you find cultures oriented toward death, severed heads, fermented or psychoactive drink, and communication with something beyond the ordinary dead—the politics of that communication matter. Human beings do not casually cut off a neighbor’s head, scrape the flesh, hang the skull, and pour blood on an altar for sport. They do it because they believe the act buys favor, knowledge, rain, fertility, or protection from harm.

The Mouse and the Snake

I use a simple allegory. Watch a pet snake being fed. Drop a mouse into the glass enclosure. For the first few minutes, the mouse runs, freezes, and tests every corner. Eventually it realizes there is no exit. Then the behavior changes. It becomes still. It positions itself near the water dish or the food bowl as if stillness and proximity to ordinary life might persuade the snake to look elsewhere. The snake, of course, is not persuaded. It simply waits and then eats.

Humanity has lived for a very long time with the anxiety of that mouse. Non-human intelligences—call them Watchers, old gods, ultraterrestrials, or whatever the current UAP language prefers—appear in the record as entities that demand appeasement. Psychedelics, ritual sex, blood, and skull display are technologies of that appeasement. The mouse tries to make itself useful or invisible so the snake will not strike.

Christianity, in its mature form, broke that cycle. It did not deny the existence of the hostile powers. It declared them defeated in principle and offered a different posture: moral agency, individual responsibility, and direct relationship with a God who does not require the constant feeding of death. The result, imperfect as every human institution is, was the rise of a civilization that valued the living more than the skulls of the dead. Strip the Christian premise from a mass of people, and the older pattern reasserts itself with remarkable speed. I have watched it at a Jason Aldean concert from the VIP area—twenty thousand people, many drunk since morning, public sexual display, the old fertility and abandon patterns returning the moment the moral frame loosens. The same retreat appears wherever the teachings of Jesus are actively removed from a culture.

That is why I am not enthusiastic about the modern psychedelic renaissance framing itself as the recovery of a lost “religion with no name.” The experiences reported at Johns Hopkins and NYU—ego death, loss of fear of mortality—are real. The question is whether the entities contacted in those states are friends of the human project. My reading of the long archaeological record is that they are not. They have been competing for control of human attention and behavior for a very long time. Christianity was never their preferred outcome.

The Four Pillars That Still Need Digging

The gap between roughly 10,000 BC and the world of Abraham remains the least examined and most consequential stretch of the human story. Four clusters of evidence deserve far more serious, well-funded attention than they currently receive.  I am committing myself to putting money and attention to these ideas:

1.  The skull cult, beer residues, and snake iconography at Göbekli Tepe and related Anatolian sites.

2.  The dolmen fields and the Wheel of Giants along the Jordan Valley and Golan.

3.  The pure copper extraction systems of the Lake Superior region and their possible long-distance movement.

4.  The Windover and related Archaic Florida populations with their extraordinary preservation of soft tissue and ritual practice.

These are not isolated curiosities. They form the deep background against which both the biblical narrative and the later Greek mysteries emerge. More excavation, more isotopic analysis, more open discussion of possible transoceanic contact, and less reflexive dismissal of “fringe” data would change the conversation. I am writing The Politics of Heaven in part to force that conversation into the open. The secular publishing world prefers books that treat Christianity as the problem rather than as a partial solution to an older and darker problem. That preference itself looks, from where I sit, like another form of the mouse’s stillness—keeping the larger questions safely inside the glass.

Conclusion: Do Not Be the Mouse

The original Eucharist may well have carried a pharmacological dimension inherited from older Mediterranean practice. The women who prepared the drinks may have been the last keepers of a technology the institutional Church found threatening. None of that requires us to return to the skull cults and the blood altars. The miracle of Christianity was not that it invented the sacred. It redirected the human drive for transcendence away from appeasement of predatory powers and toward a moral and spiritual posture that could build a durable civilization.

I want more money poured into the archaeology of the deep past—not the archaeology that already knows what it is allowed to find, but the kind willing to follow the copper, the alignments, the beer residues, and the severed heads wherever they lead. I want the conversation about non-human intelligence to stop treating the entities as either cartoon aliens or harmless spirit guides. They have a politics. Humanity needs a politics equal to theirs.

The Politics of Heaven is my effort to map that battlefield. The four pillars above are the places where the next decade of serious digging should concentrate. The rest is commentary, color, and the long memory of a man who has watched the same patterns repeat across continents and millennia.

Do not be the mouse. Learn the snake’s methods. The enemy is the one who puts the mouse in the cage with the snake.  That is the answer to our many questions.  And in the UAP disclosures, we are getting a hint of that world.

Elon Musk the Reporter: Free speech will destroy tryanny every time

I figured it out long ago, and Elon Musk can now do it at a much larger level.  Free speech and citizen journalism are tremendously powerful tools and are the key ingredients to a prosperous society.  If left alone, in most cases, people in collective masses become corrupt and dangerous.  So all this anger toward Elon Musk is understandable, for the way he expressed himself during the budget battle in Congress over the continuing resolution that started at over 1500 pages and ended up being just a few hundred by the time it was all said and done.  I explained to everyone that this was how D.O.G.E. would be effective.  They didn’t need to have an office somewhere where they stamped approval in some bureaucratic way, like everything else in government.  No, D.O.G.E. initiated by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy would be more like reporters, doing the job the media should have been doing all along.  And because Musk bought Twitter and turned it from a three-lettered mind control device into a platform of free speech where he has over 200 million direct followers, a lot of this has caught the radical left and deep state establishment figures off guard.  No, they will not be able to control any of this.  They lost their power long ago and were only propped up by legacy media looking to do their dirty work.  But free speech was always the key to our personal Constitution in the United States, and it has been the killer of globalism for many decades now.  All people needed to do was figure out how powerful their opinions were.  This is why I put so much work into my own efforts; it has worked for many years and made things better where they otherwise would languish in obscurity. 

I used to participate in a lot of media, write for newspapers, and appear on television.  I did a lot of radio.  I was even in a few movies.  So, I understand the entertainment culture and news broadcasting that most people use to interact with information very well.  I am that guy who used to show up and give speeches at public gatherings, especially at school boards.  And there was just something wrong with speaking to people who gave you only 3 minutes to speak.  Newspapers would only give me 250 words to make my point.  Radio would only put you on for around a 15-minute segment.  Millions of people heard it, but the information was often lost to people before the next segment started.  I learned a long time ago because I saw how things were cooking in the kitchen, and letting the bad guys determine how long you speak in public and how much you could write regarding news and opinion was wrong.  And it kept people from speaking freely to other people.  So, I gradually started my own blog site and launched this news and opinion effort that has been very effective for over fifteen years.  I learned what worked and didn’t, and I gradually stopped appearing on other people’s radio and television shows and just started doing my own where I could write as much as I wanted and say as much as I desired about anything and everything under the sun.  If you didn’t care about making money that other people would pay you for the work, then freedom would become the primary currency, and people would get different perspectives from what they previously didn’t have. 

When Elon Musk bought Twitter and converted himself out of political necessity away from a left-of-center globalist to a MAGA Republican who has been accused of either being one of Trump’s kids because they have become so close after the election of 2024 or the president himself, Musk bought a free speech platform that had been used to shape public opinion and turned it into something that reflected what people actually thought.  And what tyranny cannot live up to is public scrutiny.  So, in many ways, Elon Musk became much more potent than any figure on planet Earth, including the President of the United States, because he could evoke what people thought about something instead of limiting what they could see and hear in a way to push them into a thought process that reflected the values of institutionalism.  It was never going to work.  The crazy authority figures of the world should have known better and learned their hard lessons from the Berlin Wall and the many control mechanisms they have in China.  Free expression is a powerful weapon, which is why it’s the first of the Bill of Rights in the American Constitution.  And if you are Elon Musk thinking about how to have governments functioning properly on faraway planets so human civilization can thrive, we must solve this problem once and for all here on Earth, here and now.   We can’t allow tyrants to rule through limited knowledge and control over opinion.  And that’s how these crazy, debt-ridden CRs have been passed by our government for years.  They are full of garbage that nobody knows about and sold to the public with a gun to the head, saying essentially, “Pass this bill to get funding for cancer research by ignoring the funding of bio labs in Ukraine and all kinds of other dangerous stuff that the lobbyists have stuffed in there with goodies and corruption galore.” 

The power Elon Musk used in December of 2024 was not the power of a president or a government insider.  It was the power of opinion, and he was using free speech in the way it was designed to educate the public and let them make decisions about things themselves.  And for all that, the Beltway culture withered in pain over the CR debate.  And people haven’t seen anything yet for all the pain it caused.  This is precisely how D.O.G.E. is going to work.  It won’t be from policymakers and long meetings with peer review that government reform will be done.  It will report what is happening and build public pressure to reform through free speech.  I can report on this matter from my personal experience.  There is nothing that any of the bad guys can do about it.  They won’t be able to stand up to it, and they won’t be able to stop it.  Short of turning to violence themselves, which I have had to deal with myself on many occasions.  Once they realize that violence won’t get them what they want, it will make it much worse for them, and they will become very frustrated with the results, much like the way many reacted to Elon Musk during the CR negotiations in 2024.  Musk doesn’t need to be president.  All he needs to do is allow people to have an opinion on something and give them things to think about through his X social media platform.  So what happens next will be bewildering to many people.  But there is nothing they can do to stop it.  Free speech is the check on power that it was designed to be.  Unfortunately, in years past, too much free speech was controlled through various corporate controls directly connected to the political structure.  And that allowed bad guys to do bad things.  Well, not any longer.  That is why 2025 will differ significantly from any other historical period.  The debate over the 2024 continued resolution for congressional spending hasn’t seen anything yet.  And it’s about time!

Trading Government Jobs into Real Jobs: It will be stunning, but it should have happened a long time ago

First of all, most of the government jobs that have been created over a long period were not real jobs.  They were placeholders for administrations that wanted to look like they were creating jobs in the economy, such as the jobs reports we’ve seen over the last several years with the Biden administration.  But they weren’t real jobs driven by absolute value, so they were always dangerous.  Most of the jobs in the federal government never should have been created and were always useless.  So the talk that is going on now with the new Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy effort with the Department of Government Efficiency, otherwise known as D.O.G.E., where entire departments will lose their jobs, is a task we should have been utilizing for a long time.  Aside from saving a lot of taxpayer money, one primary reason for doing it is creating actual value jobs rather than placeholders.  For instance, 1.3 million federal workers are currently approved for telework, according to the Office of Personnel Management.  Only six percent of federal workers are working full-time in their offices.  Thirty percent are fully remote.  Suppose you are a government employee working from home in any capacity. In that case, you aren’t working hard enough for a value-driven job, and your position needs to be eliminated for lack of effectiveness.  There is no such thing in my mind as “work from home.”  I call that a vacation.  If you are not out there talking to people and driving work toward some objective, you aren’t working.  You are just talking.  In the United States, there is about to be a massive economic boom, and we need all the workers we can get to fill actual roles.  I also don’t define a work week as 40 hours or 5 days a week.  The government does not have the correct demands on their employees to fulfill the needs of the top economy in the world, and it shows.  And that has to come to an end. 

One of the reasons we have stagnation in our economy is that we have too many people working too few hours in jobs that mean next to nothing.  And when you study the amount of money that flows through Washington D.C. to prop up fake jobs that do nothing but give people a paycheck because there are no actual demands for the services those jobs provide, it’s no wonder why things in life take as long as they do.  The government is inefficient and has no desire to be otherwise or to justify their jobs through competition, and in the wake of all that, it has become a real weight on the American economy. Too few people are chasing real meaningful employment options and, instead, are pushing for a universal wage mentality where people are paid just to exist, which has really ballooned with the post-Covid stay-at-home culture.  It was always a dumb idea and would need to be reformed at some point in time.  The system was so abused that not cleaning and fixing the house would result in massive layoffs by the millions.  And what are those people going to do?  The job reports for a while will be very negative because all this time, they have been propped up by phony statistics justifying phony needs.  But as a good measure, if you work less than 6 hours per day, you aren’t working a real job that can be replaced and should be replaced by a real job that works much more.  Generally, it would be best to work a job where people scream for you to work more than 40 hours per week.  If you aren’t, whether in the public sector or private, you should be looking for a job that needs you more.  Not one that pays you to be a slot on a spreadsheet to show justification for a government office. 

I would say I have vast experience with this topic.  Recently, while I was a grand jury foreman, I spent much of the summer of 2024 at the courthouse every day, and I was stunned at how many good people were seriously under-employed.  No wonder many people want a government job; those jobs pay too much for insufficient work.  And they aren’t driven by any efficiency measure.  While I was in court all those days, the courthouse of Hamilton, Ohio, was very active from 9 AM until lunchtime.  Then, the place started clearing out, and the parking garage emptied.  For everyone, this was a typical day of work.  For me, it was a lunch break.  I typically work at least 10 hours per day on something.  Often, I put in 20-hour days that last all around the clock.  I sleep when I can, but the work comes first.  So, this court culture of government workers was stunning because I usually avoid those kinds of people.  I wouldn’t say that they were lazy.  But their expectations of employment were way off.  It is not even close to what reality demands of an employed position. There were very few people working from 9 to 4 PM.  And indeed, nobody was working more than that, which should have been considered normal.  The actual crime is that these government positions drag down the expectations for private sector work where the real need for one employee to do one position should exceed a 12-hour workday.  The labor movement in America, driven by a global communist movement, has impacted productivity in detrimental ways, and the most apparent jobs are government workers who aren’t realistically in the ballpark. 

There are around 168 million workers in America as of September of 2024 to maintain a 19 trillion dollar GDP.  To pay off the 35 trillion dollars in debt we have now, we need an economic expansion of at least double that, perhaps to triple that.  And we can do it with a combination of things, starting with the energy sector, to export energy to the world by stopping the war against fossil fuels.  That is the quickest way to ignite cash back into our economic system, which has been artificially suppressed.  Then there is the upcoming space economy that is worth trillions on its own, and all these jobs will need employees to manage them.  So we need more workers than that 168 million people to expand the economy, and we don’t need a bunch of slugs wasting their lives on a government job, working from their living rooms, feeding their cats.  Government employment must become private sector-driven toward real economic growth, not fake government statistics.  Much of that gap will come from robotics and artificial intelligence, which will help expand the amount of work we can do.  But humans in jobs aren’t going away anytime soon.  Likely, not in this century.  So we need to switch government jobs into real performing jobs in the private sector quickly and stunningly over the next two years of Trump’s next term.  And it will be shocking to many.  But remember that many of those jobs should have never been created by the government.  Many lazy people will lose jobs that weren’t that important, selling their expensive homes in the suburbs of Washington D.C. for a while before they learn to be productive with a real job.  But that whole mess should have never been propped up, and the actual value suppressed under phony jobs reports that were only lines on a spreadsheet to make people feel good about essentially nothing.  And in the new economy of tomorrow, we need to turn nothing into something quickly.

Dumb People Want More Taxes to Pay for More Bad Government: Why pay for more of something bad

What’s different now as opposed to any time in the past is that President Trump is talking about real and substantial tax cuts, whereas the Harris communists are seeking to perpetually raise them, with nonsense like “tax the rich” and “pay your fair share.”  Well, who determines a “fair share,” these government losers are addicted to spending like crack addicts looking for the next hit.  When we look at our government and talk about taxes, we are talking about paying for more government that does less for us without expecting the quality of a job done.  It’s a ridiculous proposal.  And as the Democrats say the same old thing in an election year and we watch gas prices drop under three dollars per gallon right before the election, hoping to sucker people into voting for these idiots one more time, what they are more than asking for is more money to get a government that serves us horribly and to like it.  And to like it so much that we suspend any expectation of performance, which is appalling.  The differences between one vision and the other couldn’t be more stark.  Trump is proposing to remove taxes not just on tips but on overtime pay as well, which is a wonderful idea.  One thing that America could really use is incentives to work more, not less.  What the idiots behind COVID-19 did to our global employment culture has been ridiculous.  There are still lazy people who want to work from home instead of getting back to work over the whole social distancing policy, which has turned out to be a complete and total scam created by the United Nations administrative state losers and their schemes of social detriment. Trump understands from experience that economic growth occurs when people are not penalized for doing more work. 

To the mind of the socialists, communists, and general global citizen Marxists, government expansion means a job without any expectations for performance attached to it.  The purpose of growing government is to develop well-paying jobs that don’t expect to actually do anything.  The pay for that job comes from the government’s ability to steal the money from the people it is supposed to serve and give it to people who have done nothing to deserve it.  This has always been a problem, and people have complained about it since the beginning of the concept of government.  The government is resented when it uses its force to take what doesn’t belong to it for service to itself.  And those lazy in our society seek government employment to protect their ability to make a pressure-free living, which shows up in various degrees of corruption throughout all human activity.  When money is made too easy to get through coercion, your political system has planted and watered the seeds of corruption.  Trump understands, as any real economist does that by letting people keep more of what they make, they work more to get more, and the economy does better.  But most people in government, especially those who call themselves Democrats, do not grasp that concept because they see government as the way to make the most money with the least risk possible.  That’s why all these billionaires find refuge in the Democrat party, because the power of government protects them from the risk of competition, and therefore, the money paid in taxes is less than the risk of going toe to toe with competition in the free and open marketplace.  For all these people, big government is less risky, which settles their timid minds from the realities of social performance. 

But with all our talk of revolution, the tactical approach well before we pick up arms against a tyrannical government is to defund it.  With the discussions of more budgets in the current and future congress, if we do not like the government we have, then why should we continue to throw money at it?  They are just going to waste it.  For all the money they have given to Ukraine, the cost of our more than 35 trillion dollars in debt is, for the first time, a trillion dollars to pay for the people who have loaned us money; why on earth would we waste more money on such a ridiculous government.  That is the question that losers like Kamala Harris and the Obama clan have never asked or answered. They expect that if they need more money to waste on more growth in government, then we are obligated to pay it like some slack-jawed dope-smoking loser.  And that isn’t how it is.  We are in control, not them.  And if you don’t like the service you are getting from the government, we can more than deny those funds to the people misusing them.  It’s no different than telling a crack addict that you aren’t going to give them more crack to destroy their lives with.  Government is addicted to spending, and they expect us to fund that addiction.  When in reality, they should be given less to force them to reduce their growth into a more manageable and efficient government.  The source of the problem is that significant government types have no expectation of performance placed on them, so they don’t see money as a measure to be earned but taken by the force of government to feed an addictive personality that leads in only one direction: corruption.

Behind all the anger at Trump is that this trend culminates in a genuinely accountable government, perhaps for the first time in history.  We knew there would be pushback when we talked about draining the swamp.  But the level of violence that we have witnessed has been obtuse in several respects that are simply unreasonable.  The assumption that people would always pay these ridiculous prices for a government that isn’t even good would never work.  And when there are surprises that so many people are turning to Trump to provide a much-reduced government that asks for far less money, we shouldn’t be surprised.  However, the plan never reasonably paid for all these useless government employees.  We’ve seen plenty of government workers who have gone wrong; James Comey and Dr. Fauci come to mind.  If you interview the typical government employee, you will generally find the same kind of lazy losers looking to inflate their egos with the power of government service without the expectation of actually doing anything.  And to be paid extraordinarily high for doing it.  Why would we want more people doing anything from a power position like that?  That’s why a less powerful government is the only way to go.  We need a government big enough to do the work of the people it serves.  But too small to impose themselves on the public as an oppressive force.  We are not obligated to pay a fair share, determined by those with broken minds, to continue to grow something that is a detriment.  With the Trump election, the government is positioned to reduce its size dramatically, and through the election process, we have a peaceful right to do so under the need to administer those resources as a country.  We do not have an obligation to support the cause of global government with all its problems of corruption and ineffectiveness.  And to pay for it with all our hard-earned money.  Then, we suffer the consequences of having it.  No, it’s time for a fundamental change, and perhaps for the first time in history, it’s within our reach if only we dare to perform the task.

The Anti-Woke Message of Deadpool: It’s all about regeneration and healing

I always have learned a lot from young people.  Yes, adults have lived long lives and have much to teach based on experience.  But kids are freshly created and don’t have assumptions yet baked into their thought process.  So I listened when one of my grandsons wanted to see the new Deadpool & Wolverine movie doing big business at the theater.  It’s one of the rare movies these days to hit over one billion dollars, so that’s a significant financial triumph that is at least good for theater owners.  I want theater owners to survive all this World Economic Forum wokeness, so I was interested in why so many people liked Deadpool.  I’m not a Deadpool fan. I don’t want to see Marvel characters cursing and talking about sex and drugs, and the Deadpool movies are R-rated experiences filled with a lot of bad stuff.  So, up to now, I have had zero interest in anything Deadpool.  However, my policy with my children and grandchildren is to take the edge away of any forbidden fruits in society with guidance.  So when he asked me to take him to the movie theater to see the movie, I didn’t hesitate.  We made it a somewhat family affair, with my daughters going along to watch the film with us and make any commentary about it that needed to be made from an adult leadership perspective.  All the world needs is another kid out there speaking in a trashy way with F-bombs and drug references.  And this was a Disney production now, so here was Disney, who used to get criticized for making too many G-rated movies, putting out an R-rated horror of sin and indulgence.  However, after watching the movie, I noticed much worth seeing, which became apparent quickly.  And I could understand why my grandson liked Deadpool so much.   I have always liked Wolverine from the X-Men, so I thought I could at least like that much of it.  But in the end, I liked Deadpool & Wolverine for many unexpected reasons.

So here’s the lowdown I have talked about extensively throughout the previous decade: Disney is dead.  They have mismanaged the company and are only surviving now because they are too big to fail.  But they have lost their core audience.  They enjoy decades of brand building, and roughly 50% of all adults are willing to go into serious debt to take their kids to Disney World for a vacation.  That trend will not pass to the next generation, so once these current kids grow up and become adults themselves, they will not follow that path.  I am happy I could take my kids, their kids, and their husbands to Disney World last year, which was extraordinarily expensive.  At least my family had a chance to see Disney before it declined into oblivion, and the Deadpool character is very much a cultural symbol of that. Part of what makes Deadpool movies so funny is that Disney is aware of its decline, and that’s part of the strange joke in the film.  Deadpool used to be a 20th Century Fox thing, but after Bob Iger, as the CEO, bought up that media property, they acquired several Marvel characters, such as Spiderman, the X men, and, of course, Deadpool, among other things.  But it was like bringing in Kamala Harris for president over Joe Biden for Disney.  It was a sugar high at best and only delayed the inevitable decline of a media company that had gone global woke and lost its domestic audience toward family value.  It’s hard to become a leader of the global citizen movement as an anti-family provocateur of sexual grooming of children and still be the bastion of family values that it’s known for.  That is why theme parks still get so much respect from parents who want to give their children a good life and think a vacation there will do the trick.  But it can’t; once you lose that reputation, it’s gone forever. 

Yet that is the theme of the new Deadpool & Wolverine movie.  Both characters are about regeneration; when wounded, they heal almost like reptiles.  So, the movie and the characters are more about second chances than anything else.  And in a social context, that is the same thing the nation and world are going through.  Most people can relate to Deadpool and all his mistakes because, at his heart, he is a person who wants to do good and be respected.  Ultimately, Deadpool wants to become a respected Avenger and to be one of the good guys, which I found surprising given the R-rated nature of the content.  However, the movie is very self-aware of its situation in society; it is essentially an anti-woke movie in the style of an old 80s film that checks all the boxes of the World Economic Forum investors who require excessive wokeness to be produced.  There are a lot of gay references in the film and discussions about drugs, but not in a way that promotes them as much as Deadpool has to overcome them to be who he wants to be.  But yet, the plot is filled with overt references, which, of course, the wokesters out there love.  I don’t support any of that, but as a running commentary on our current social status and the position of Disney as a media company that is undoubtedly headed on hard times ahead, it is an interesting observation of itself. 

The Marvel films had a plan that started with a series of movies in the last decade that were very traditional heroic enterprises.  I loved the Captain America movies, and the Civil War between Captain America and Iron Man, with all the tag-alongs, was terrific cinema.  But then we entered the overt woke era of the most recent movies, and there are a lot of horrible decisions made, starting with Captain Marvel and moving into The Eternals, which I thought was a horrendously lousy movie with overt gay characters in it that just made the whole thing no fun to watch.  Disney continues to make horrible decisions, such as what they are doing with their Land of the Villains announcement for Disney World, their closing of Tom Sawyer’s Island, which is my favorite part, and embracing villains in their family offerings because these days, so many people see themselves as Deadpool sees himself.  They can’t relate with the good guys anymore.  But at least with Deadpool, he wants to be a good guy, even though he’s been essentially a bad guy.  Marvel is trying to do as the characters in Deadpool & Wolverine: regenerate themselves and heal.  Their new Marvel movies are trying to get back to the basics.  As America tries to make itself Great Again as a country, media companies are also trying to do the same.  Everyone is looking in the mirror and asking if this is where we want to be.  That is what the new Deadpool movie is all about, asking those essential questions.  So it was pretty good.  Too late to save Disney.  But it’s a good thing to talk about as a patient lays dying on an operating table as a last thought and sentiment.  There is a humanity in Deadpool that people are clinging to, which surprised me.  And I certainly understand why young people would be attracted to that message.  They want to have hope that their future can be better than the past.  Because for them, they don’t have any memory of the good ol’ days.  Just the days of woke losers and political hacks who have ruined the world with bad decisions and tried to sell the mess as redemption.

Making The Noose Great Again: Punishing the bad guys with capital punishment

In reaction to many of the things I have been saying and predicting about our present society, people are strongly inclined toward Making America Great Again by Making the Noose Great Again.  The courts have been shown, which I would argue they never were properly working, to be only good for leftist Marxist ideology.  Frontier justice, where hanging for crimes committed against a community, gave people a level of satisfaction that satisfied communities, and their work toward a justice-driven society is being yearned for.  Even though we may look back upon Western expansion with reverence and ideas of romance, in living freely, there were a lot of problems that are much better in our present conditions.  We don’t have to worry about Indian attacks or picking up unknown diseases every few feet.  Our lifespan today is much longer than they used to be.  We have considered that we are much more sophisticated now than when capital punishment was as common as a sunset.  But, the general feeling is that people behave concerning each other if something they might do might come across as an offense that could lead to their untimely death.  If a criminal was caught before Western expansion had traveling judges to enact law and order, hanging the bad guys, happened all the time.  And without it, there would have been no ability to have a growing society.  When people talk about the evils of Western expansion, again, it’s the political left, the same losers who are behind pornography, international financing, abortion, pot smoke, and welfare programs who were against it and think the Indians should still be in charge of a teepee and dancing in some field to make it rain.  Much of what they have brought the world through the pages of Karl Marx has been ridiculously stupid, and people are slowly admitting to just how bad it has been.  And they are ready to make some changes.

https://gettr.com/post/p363cad6cf8

I’ve been to court many times and have known many lawyers and judges.  I want to like them.  I like the idea of a courtroom to be respected.  I love our various state and federal constitutions and think a law-and-order society is the only way. Strict enforcement of the law is how you protect the kinds of values that make a society work.  But, and this is a big butt, a suburban mom who votes for tax levies for corrupt leftist government schools big, we were a better society when we had dueling.  I think of Alexander Hamilton’s duel with Aaron Burr and the many duels that President Andrew Jackson had over his lifetime; we were a much more respectful society when bad behavior was called out to satisfaction and carried out with seconds there to represent the effort.  If people hadn’t worked out their differences before one of them ended up dead, they may have ended up friends for life.  That was a much better way to solve conflicts than what we have now, where crimes are punted to the state, and the state processes their punishment through the legal system.  The state, what happens to most things the government touches, messes everything up, and the only people who benefit are the state in confiscating wealth and redistributing it to people who don’t deserve it.  The courts and their lawyers make all the money off conflict resolution.  Then, the worst thing that can happen to a criminal is they are locked up in prison, which then makes them parasites on society for that duration.  Someone has to feed them, and the general hope is that they might be reformed and let out to inflict crime in the future.  That is the best that our court systems are offering us.  And even that is a rare occurrence. 

These people have no idea how much anger is coming in their direction, for what they have been doing to us for years. De Niro has no idea how much the game has changed.

Most of the time, court cases drag out too long, and it’s always the wrong people getting punished.  These days, as we have seen with President Trump and many others, the courts have been weaponized.  Two local cases in my community, the Darbi Boddy school board case at Lakota and the Roger Reynolds case, were clear examples of a weaponized court system that had nothing to do with justice but political power intent to rob voters of their picks for political office.  It was utterly corrupt, and lawyers were the only people who benefited from those cases.  Replacing gun battles with foes with pinheaded lawyers arguing with words, and not bullets, has turned out to be stupid.  And the bad guys know it.  There is nothing about our present system that inspires people to behave themselves.  So why not rape that innocent person?  Or steal from a family and their efforts at hard work?  Why not be a louse, a drug addict, or an abuser of alcohol?  What in our society inspires people not to be losers, criminals, and leeches off society?  The answer is nothing.  The works of Karl Marx from the early 1850s on, and spread through Masonic orders all over Europe and America, have not been satisfactory, and people have given it a chance and have been left wanting.  We are not a better world because of our courts and a lack of capital punishment.  We have empowered the criminal-minded to abuse innocent people in the pursuit of some great society as the radical left envisioned it.  And we have been left with a society of disaster. 

As I have said many times, I have traveled extensively, and one thing that I do while traveling is pick up books from those areas to read.  While traveling in my RV, I commonly get up before anybody else and read outside in the portable office, which travels with me everywhere I go.  I have read many books from exotic places like Deadwood, South Dakota, Jackson Hole, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and Texas—everywhere, about law and order and the attempts during Western expansion to solve these problems.  The conclusion is that society was worse under court systems than frontier justice.  Once the criminals realized they could hide their acts of villainy behind bureaucratic courts and their processes of pinheaded lawyers and corrupt judges, there was nothing to fear from society, so they performed more crimes as a result.  At least with this Marxist-inspired court system, they were promised a free meal every day and didn’t have to work in society to get it.  Once we stopped hanging people for crimes in our communities and shooting them to defend private property, the criminals started to run our society which is a massive problem to this very day.  And people are beginning to admit how unhappy they are about it.  Crime thrives in a society where courts get in the way of justice and where the courts are used as weapons, which is happening now in our daily news.  A better way to handle many of these cases would be through capital punishment. Nobody wants to see innocent people killed and hung for crimes they didn’t do.  But the fear of getting caught doing something wrong kept a lot of criminals from crossing the line, and we became a much better society.  As people think about it, Making the Noose Great Again makes a lot of sense.

Getting Rid of Herbie: Why Trump’s economy will be so much better than Biden’s

This will likely be one of the most valuable things I will ever tell you.  It’s worth a lot of money to many companies all over the world, but not for the reasons they think.  But on the topic of why Trump’s economy will be better than Biden’s or that Biden and Obama’s economy was worse than Trump’s and why, you have to understand the very nature of all communist and socialist governments.  It’s why, even with over a billion people in China, they still have a GDP that is less than America, with 2/3 fewer people. It is one of the most significant crimes happening in the world; it is not strictly against the law, but laws are created to preserve its nature.  That trend is expressed in the classic book on efficiency called The Goal by Eliyahu Goldratt, which deals with the Theory of Constraints and how to deal with them.  Goldratt is the Jonathan Cahn of business books, and he has a series of them that many companies worldwide have sought to improve their lives in some way, and for all the same reasons that people pursue religion.  They don’t necessarily want to fix anything, but they go through the motions, hoping to trick God into letting them into the Heavenly Gates at some point.  And that is the approach that many people have with The Goal.  On the surface, it’s a pretty good book with a fictional narrative about a plant manager with minimal time to turn a company around to start making a profit.  But behind the scenes, it’s a soft sale on communism that has infiltrated the marketplace over the last several years.  The goal is to identify the constraints in your manufacturing process and manage them instead of trying to jam things through them. 

When I talk about The Goal to people, which happens all the time actually, I tell a story from the book where a bunch of backpackers are hiking to a destination, and they have a big fat kid named Herbie who is holding up the rest of the hikers from reaching their destination on time.  Since Herbie is fat, not as strong as the other kids, and has a hard time carrying a heavy backpack through the wilderness on a long trail, the kids behind him bunch up to his back while the kids in front of him pull way out ahead.  They arrive at the destination many hours ahead of Herbie and those behind him, and the goal of the exercise is to have process flow built around team cohesion.  So, the story’s purpose is to find ways to lessen Herbie’s burden on the group and to pace all the activities to those limits.  For instance, don’t force Herbie to carry the heavy backpack because it will just slow him down.  Have those who can take the backpack do it for him because, as the communists say, “those who can, each by their means,” and all that.  Once you realize that people reading the book, especially government types, are using this Theory of Constraints to hide their laziness and incompetence and trying to sell it as an efficiency tactic.  Without question, constraints are a genuine thing.  But how you deal with them is something I’m afraid I have to disagree with most of the world emphatically.  Constraints are meant to be managed, not yielded to, and the point of The Goal is to find out what they are and build everything around them. 

See the problem here, lower your expectations and live with the limits of Herbie

In my worldview, I advocate for removing Herbies from the process. I believe in finding individuals who are about 100 pounds lighter and can carry a heavy backpack. I don’t believe in forcing the rest of the group to slow down for slow old Herbie.  I say remove as many constraints as possible with good, competent people.  But to do that, we must acknowledge that all people are not equal.  Some people are better than others, and in a business environment, this is the opposite of what political trends have tried to create in the world. They emphasize equity and inclusion, not performance and competency.  And you can see this in the performance of the world today, from your local drive-thru to the store stocker at your local grocery.  In my view, the Biden administration is all about creating a society of Herbies. In my world, I would encourage them to be the first to be fired or pushed out of your work culture.  Rather than building around the Herbies, I would say to get rid of them and replace them with someone faster and better. This goes against almost every unspoken rule of our modern world.  However, the government, especially under Biden and Obama, is all about putting as many Herbies into your system, so it’s no wonder their governments are much less efficient and covered with slowness and waste.  They have made it pretty much illegal even to judge the performance of the Herbies of the world. When you want to understand what has happened in the world to slow everything down, The Goal, as a book, has captured the problem well.  But not for the reasons it intended to define the Theory of Constraints.  Lazy losers in the world and incompetent people afraid of competition have been empowered by it to prevent performance from being the measuring criteria and instead made group cohesion the mode of operation as a central value. 

Don’t learn to live with constraints. Improve them or get rid of them all together

During his first term, Trump thinks about Herbies the way I do.  He brought free market capitalism back to the markets where competition drove expectations for about three years until COVID-19 was invented and released to tamper with the 2020 election and get a Great Reset to all global markets influenced by the communists at the World Economic Forum.  And the American economy flourished under Trump.  But the policy of Obama and Biden, which is attached to global communism, China style, and corporate control superseding elected governments, wants a society of Herbies that they feed with welfare checks and entitlements because it gives them more centralized control over mass populations.  If they can sell that inefficiency to the public as “efficiency,” you can bet they will try.   So few people understand why Trump’s economy was, and will be, so much better than Biden’s.  Most economists don’t understand it; they have been taught only one way of viewing economic value, so they are oblivious to what Trump will do, which differs from Biden.  However, the real difference is that any good economy or company trying to implement a process will seek to eliminate as many Herbies as possible. And if they do have them, to mitigate the damage they cause to others by slowing everything down.  Speed is our friend in a thriving economy and successful business.  And rather than manage around our Herbies, we should get rid of them whenever we spot them and replace them with someone much faster and more competent.  That holds of a machine or even a business model.  If speed is not the emphasis, then incompetence becomes the breeding ground of fools, and you end up with horrendous economic numbers, such as we have seen with Biden.  The fix is easy, but it is something the government doesn’t want to see happen as they attach themselves to the global communist movement where Herbies are made, not managed.

A much better world, one without Herbies

Lifting the Curse: What we must do in 2024

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

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

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

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

The Elohim and Plight of the Divine Council: Fighting the great war that spans eternity

In case you haven’t figured it out yet, we are being played in a kind of chess game with some basic patterns of thinking that are precisely how marketing motives are revealed. To say that the Jewish people are all one way or another is utterly ridiculous. That is like saying that Joe Biden and I are both American. But the next question about Republicans and Democrats, traditionalists and progressives, ends the conversation. There are no more similarities between Joe Biden and me than in saying that we live within the same borders of the same country. It has come up a lot over the Holiday season where people have been asking me a lot about the Bible, why and how I can support the Jewish people, and the creation of Israel at the expense of the Palestinians the way I do, even knowing what I do about the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. So, of course, that opens up many explanation opportunities, which I’m happy to divulge. But to put it nicely, if you have allowed yourself to be marketed into foolishness, then you will be a little upset to find out all the ways you’ve been suckered, including most of the translations of the Bible. I think most people, including some of the most vigorous religious studies, get their interpretation of the Bible all wrong, and I often turn to Psalm 82 for the entire purpose of the Bible, which I would argue runs counter to everything people believe. 99. 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of everyone gets the Bible wrong. They have allowed their worldview and their religions to be shaped by institutional aggressors who are prone to mischaracterizations and influences of scandal that reside in the hearts of most translations, on purpose or by accident.

The Elohim is the proper word for God

There is quite a movement looming in the background that has figured some of this out and has been gaining momentum over the last few decades, which I would attribute to the nature of mass communication and having so many cultures interact now in ways they never could before. The old game of keep-away isn’t working like it used to, of pitting various sides against each other. I love the Jewish people because they are the oldest surviving group on earth. They are an ancient people, and with them and their rituals comes a window into the past that I find fascinating. Why do they believe the things they do? And why have so many groups, including those of today, want to eradicate them from the face of the earth, yet they are still here after many such attempts? And regarding any references to the Jewish people running all banking and controlling the world in the way that the Protocols of the Elders of Zion have chronicled, I would use the Joe Biden comparison, too. We both might have white skin. We both might live in America and be called American, but the differences end there. Otherwise, I’m nothing like Joe Biden, and regarding the many conspiracies, the Jewish people are not like the Rothchilds and various globalists who try to hide their tendency to want to control the world by hiding behind a religion, a region of the world, or the sentiments of history. Those who try to put everyone into these neat little categories are part of the problem, and their antics should be revealed for what they are: the actual manipulations of the Elohim and the Divine Council politics that work their way into our lives daily but reside far beyond our reach materially, into the chess games of Heaven that are very much a part of our daily life.

An amazing book compiled over a tremendous amount of time

In that wonderful passage, Psalm 82, we find the proper word for God, Elohim, used by the Jewish people in their Hebrew Bibles, particularly before the modern era of progressive impact on the publishing industry began tampering with words, that the Hebrew names for things are essential.  God calls on the Divine Council of Heaven to pull it together and judge wickedness righteously.  Even though God spoke about here as the singular Elohim, he has trouble keeping his Divine Council together even as creator of the universe.  They are plotting and scheming always to undercut all civilization for their political purposes.  We tend to think of Heaven as a relief from the concerns of Earth, but reality indicates that things are on Earth as they are in Heaven.  Politics is a creation of Heavenly existence; our motivations are similar everywhere, including on the other side of the universe among all living creatures.  The idea of a utopia where everyone gets along is the fantasy of those who don’t have the will to fight and understand politics as living things interact.  I have many different Bibles that I use for study, and one of my favorites for this very reason is a Complete Jewish Study Bible that has gone to great effort to put its original Hebrew words in it to translate the true meanings of biblical passages.  One of my Bibles, my study Bible for the King James version, is wonderful, but purposefully, the translation from the original Septuagint in Greek is very much watered down.  These last few decades, It has been challenging to find a Bible with the correct term for God, the Elohim, in it for the context of meaning.  And even then, there has been a lot lost to time and translation by minds not entirely up to the task of wrapping their minds around the concept of a “divine council” that is always rebelling against God and using the plight of humanity for malicious purposes. 

The wars we are fighting are instigated by many of these same forces who jump into the minds of the stupid and weak willingly for purposes that cannot be understood until the context of the entire Bible is conceived as an attempt over many thousands of years to see this big picture of politics among the Divine Council for what it is.  Psalm 82 was likely written around 1450 BC, so it predates the building of Solomon’s Temple by 500 years and the birth of Christ by over a thousand.  So, to put together this story as the Jewish people had by being one of the only civilizations to be together still after such an ancient past is quite remarkable and worth preserving.  Another interesting fact is that Jewish people, by heritage, can all trace back their genealogy to one common ancestor 140,000 years ago, which makes sense to me.  To all those who want to think about the entire history of the world starting about 6000 years ago, I believe that is because the translations are off.  That doesn’t cheapen the religious experience but is driven because the context of history is off in translating ancient material.  Such a consideration gives the Adam and Eve story a lot more merit.  If the Middle East didn’t have so many wars all the time, we would likely be able to confirm all this, but then perhaps that’s the point of all the political turmoil.  To keep us from figuring it out, the political mechanisms can be applied for reasons that extend well beyond the concerns of the Earth.  And that is my answer on the Jewish people and religion in general.  I like to understand politics and am very interested in why people do what they do.  But saying all that, I am very interested in the Elohim in the plural sense and their politics so that we, too, can play the big chess game and win it on the side of goodness and righteousness.  And to not be victims as Job was, or many other characters who were caught up in the political antics of the Elohim.  But to fight back against them in ways they aren’t prepared for, and to win.

The Hidden Benefit of ‘Godzilla Minus One’: Understanding Budgets and Costs Imposed by organized labor and anti-capitalist Activities

There is another essential attribute of the new Godzilla film, Godzilla Minus One, at the heart of the global populist movement that is important to talk about.  Probably the most important thing in the world that has lingered always in the background and is now apparent for all to see.  In talking about how good Godzilla Minus One is, the obvious question everyone has is how could Japan produce a movie like this when the same kind of blockbuster produced by Disney in America would cost 300 million dollars.  The average moviegoer could watch Godzilla Minus One, Indiana Jones, and the Dial of Destiny and think they are of the same quality in every category: acting, special effects, music, writing, scale of production, everything.  So how was Godzilla Minus One so profitable, whereas all the current Hollywood productions or movies anywhere in the world these days, especially where the financial influence of the World Economic Forum has its hands in the production, are not able to compete?  Well, this is something I have been talking about for many decades and I said this was going to happen to the film industry for many years.  Unionized labor has destroyed the financial models of movie production, shown dramatically when a foreign film like Godzilla Minus One is shown in a movie theater along with the latest blockbusters produced by Hollywood and other markets.  Because of many market conditions unique to recovery from COVID lockdowns, theater owners are desperate to show anything that the public might want to see.  Just two or three years ago, a movie like Godzilla Minus One would not have played in a movie theater in the United States.  People would never see it, but in today’s market, where Hollywood products can’t keep up with demand, a movie like Godzilla Minus One gets a chance to be seen, which has burst down the door to an issue that can only be revealed by direct competition.   

Much of the way we are told about success in the world has been shaped by labor unions attached to the film industry, the mainstream media, and government reporting.  The ultimate solution to broken budgets and general performance everywhere in the world, no matter the product, is to make labor unions illegal, especially in government work and situations that prevent a competitive environment.  America has gone through just this sort of thing when it comes to the car industry, or most sectors of manufacturing that can’t compete with cheap foreign labor.  Well, it is not that the labor is cheap in foreign markets, but instead that the communist labor unions, all of which were formed out of elements of Marxism, have driven up the cost of labor not just in the increases in headcount but in how much each one actually costs.  When the government reports the numbers, as they do in American and European markets, of course, they will give a spin that suits them, not necessarily one that is reflected in reality.  Then, when the trade journals are either in unions themselves or are very sympathetic, the coverage has been how much studios spend on movies to make, not on their quality.  This has certainly been the case with Disney where to satisfy their radical employee base, all connected to labor unions, the approach has been to just outrun the costs, which have crippled them in 2023.  When it costs 500 million dollars to get a blockbuster out the door and into a theater, disaster is not far behind.  For a lot of these Hollywood productions, a movie budget to satisfy all the labor demands that you see at the end credits of every motion picture, 200-300 million on actually making the movie, then another 200 million in marketing to feed the machine, a film has to make a billion dollars at the box office to get into a profit category, and that just isn’t realistic, as Disney has discovered in 2023. 

Then, to make matters worse, these Disney movies have been loaded with content people don’t want to see.  The filmmaking has been lazy, and the product is lackluster when it gets to the screen.  It shows when all the people making the movie are only in it to get paid.  A film like Godzilla Minus One was created by hungry filmmakers full of passion, evident in what ended up on the screen, shocking many people.  But this is the exact reason why government reforms never happen and why budgets get wrecked in all production environments where Marxist labor unions have driven up costs and taken away the ambition of good merit from the products they produce, such as in public education in America that has become useless to most people for all the same reasons.  The labor costs too much and doesn’t do enough of what it’s supposed to.  When labor unions take over the management of an endeavor, they determine the pay rate and how many people need to be involved in the process, which then blows up all the financial attributes.  In a situation like this, where a side-by-side comparison isn’t usually available, the problem becomes apparent in the movie industry.  But this same rot is in just about every endeavor that involves money and financing, even in American intelligence agencies.  I will have some serious horror stories to provide about the CDC and how President Reagan was thinking of cutting the entire department, giving rise to Dr. Fauci’s radicalism.  Most bad things happen when lazy people seek funding not based on performance but emotion, such as fear of a new virus that can be manufactured in a lab and released from Wuhan, China.  That’s a topic all its own. 

The trick in hiding all this from the public has been to control the narrative, and the labor unions have been attached to most of the reporting.  But in 2023, because the declining Hollywood product has most abused theater owners, they have had to turn to direct competition to survive, which has set up this obvious matchup.  The same occurred when the Japanese entered the car market, and the Big Three in America found they could not compete in cost and quality because unionized labor took away competitive factors that could keep the costs down for the consumer.  Most of the problems in the world, including the CRs that Speaker Johnson is trying to work through Congress to keep the government open, are due to the outrageous costs of supporting all those expensive government employees.  Even the funding of Ukraine, which has been a topic, is to spend billions of dollars to pay for the massive administrative state government there to support this globalist employment structure.  All of them are failing under their weight; what they do for the world isn’t worth the money it costs to keep them.  Populism is rising everywhere because people would rather see Godzilla Minus One than the latest holiday offering by Disney and the other major studios.  The labor unions seek to destroy competition to justify their outrageous costs and sluggish performance.  But because of their actions, they have forced competition to overtake them to satisfy the market demands of a hungry public that wants to see a good movie, buy a nice car, or have a government that works for them and doesn’t get in the way of what society needs.  I know we are in a time when union supporters are moving toward Trump, and Trump is pro-union, and it’s not as much of a political issue for Republicans as it has been or should be.  But when you want to know why things are so expensive, why so many useless people perform the work, and how they keep their jobs underperforming constantly, the source is the Marxist labor unions that have embedded themselves in the process.  Where they aren’t, the quality and profit improve dramatically.  And if we are ever going to drain the swamp, the government unions will have to be made illegal.  And any future budget controls taken out of their hands, from the local public school to the control of the FBI and CIA.  Organized labor has destroyed them all.
