The Protocols of the Elders of Zion: How evil is spread into the world

To understand how evil works in the world, you must see its grand strategy and know how it flows into the world through sources that are not so well understood.   In one specific case, today, as alive as it was in 1903 when it was first mysteriously written in Russia by an unknown author and released to the world, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion told of a plot by the Jewish people to take over all mechanisms of the world for complete domination. That book is as ordinary now in the hands of various terrorist cells in the Middle East who want to form a caliphate as it was when Adolph Hitler read it and plotted his return to German society from a jail cell after he tried to redeem his society after the way the Treaty of Versailles destroyed Germany after World War I. The book was just written and published by mysterious circles of people who obviously wanted to stroke the fires of discontent against the Western world by doing essentially what Joe Biden is now doing to Trump supporters, blaming them for what they want to achieve. It reminds me of another book published around the start of the Tea Party movement in America, The Coming Insurrection, which was also published by “anonymous” sources and meant to stir up discontent among the population and stoke war in the ways that a chess master needs to see things in black or white to plan their strategy. The intentions of The Protocols of the elders of Zion were to create resistance to the old Western motivations of restoring the Temple of King Soloman, so once you understand all those players, the strategy becomes quite clear. It was simply a religious continuation of the Crusades as they had persisted for many centuries following the advent of Christianity and Islamic faith and to keep those religions fighting each other for strategic goals that go well beyond life on earth.  

Often you find that this is how the few plans to rule the many, through war and dedication to one side or another, while the conflict is shaped elsewhere, in the minds of insanity plagued by diseased thoughts. Humans are designed to think freely, but their default mode coming out of youth is to follow directions, so when evil gets a hold of the mechanisms of instruction, they can then get mass populations to fight each other over dedication to something like religion. So the author of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion knew what they were doing when they wrote the book and made sure that anti-western forces would get it and be motivated by it to work against the goals of that culture toward any kind of future. Looking on an even bigger scale, who put that book into the hands of Adolph Hitler so that he would develop such a hatred for the Jewish people? Likely the same forces that were working on the other side to promote western civilization into World War I and II so that a new global menace called the United Nations could be created. America had to be drug into the war by some means, and they weren’t excited to give up their independence from that world eagerly. So the forces that wanted war, the very few who were setting up the chess game and playing it as a one-sided affair, needed a grave atrocity to get America into the war. So Adolph Hitler was created by putting that book in his hand and punishing Germany in such extreme ways that they would rise behind nationalism and a Karl Marx socialist party to present a threat to the world. It wasn’t an accident that Japan was making its own moves at this time and that communism moving into China was being stoked to take over in the aftermath of war there. When you peel back the onion enough, its quite easy to see that a few very insane globalists were pulling the strings to all these things, causing war where they wanted to soften the targets for their own global intentions, just as they are doing today with Ukraine, Iran, and North Korea. 

Always, however, at the origin of these strategic moves is usually a book like The Protocols of the Elders of Zion written to create fear, anxiety, and war which then makes it easy to control the sentiments of the masses once their dedication to service is exposed and they fall under the spell of patriotism. And when you study the motives of the very few who write these books for what is best termed the motives of evil, because they impose themselves on the many for selfish reasons that only the insane would rationalize, you find an author who has their ear to the wind of the spirit world and is writing whatever that voice tells them. These are people who are quite sophisticated in the occult practices of the world, and their relationship with disembodied spirits is as common as people would drink soda in America. They make it their goal in life to do as these spirits tell them, thinking that the voice is helpful and has a higher purpose in mind when they seek the restoration of Soloman’s Temple, or the move of a global civilization back to that of Egypt’s worship of their many gods through all new modern names, under the banner of Climate Change. What gets written down is what these disembodied spirits tell them to write, and in that way, we get the strategies of these creatures applied directly to our culture through single-point failures by minds assumed to be brilliant but are, in fact, quite evil. Be careful what you pray to; what answers your prayers may not be friendly. To assume that all the voices from the spirit world have our best interests in mind is to fall down the path that most tyrants and dictators have traveled. To appease those voices, mass death and sacrifice must be endured, thus bringing great evil into the world and calling it good, depending on perspective. What’s good for one side might be catastrophically horrible on the other. 

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion talks about the domination of the world by Jewish forces, but in reality, they are no more power-hungry than any other faction in the world from any other religion. What must always be utilized when dealing with these subjects come from the addicts of occult practice who seek out such clarity from those disembodied spirits and seek to implement their motives even if it means killing many millions of people. Evil seems obsessed, whether they live in a body or not, with consuming the souls of living people, and if they can create mass death and destruction on earth among the human population, they seem to enjoy that quite a lot. We all must watch out for those who seek out such voices, misinterpret the insanity as good, and try to implement it in the world as a unifying religion of sacrifice and mayhem for the “greater good.” Those who published The Protocols of the Elders of Zion intended to corrupt mankind toward evil. And it’s not the only book coming from mysterious sources. That doesn’t mean we ban all books, either. But we must always caution where our inspiration comes from and by whom. And we should not so blindly trust any “leaders” who may be under the influence of occult reasoning. You’d be surprised how many people in high social places are obsessed with spirit voices they think are guiding them through life. And what those voices say to do often is quite maniacal, as Adolph Hitler interpreted them and many other killers in known history have done. And when we see war being stoked by one side or another for motives that seem mysterious and silly, we should only peel back the covers and find a copy of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion there or some similar work constructed mysteriously by a very few who are plugged into the spirit world and want to do on earth as those whispers guide them. The assumption is that those whispers contain wisdom only those from the spirit world can see. But in truth, it’s how evil is spread into the world for the consumption of what that world only understands, and to realize all too late that we should have used our better judgment before it was too late.

The Teaching Profession is Losing Teachers: Who wants to be a part of the Liberal World Order and the destruction of America

Let’s clarify things, especially regarding the many problems in the government school in my hometown, Lakota. There is a shortage of public-school teachers entering the profession, leaving all public schools scrambling for applicants and hanging on to losers they should never have employed in the first place because they fear the shortages more than the poor performance they are getting from them. This is also why public schools hang on and pay too much to the superintendent profession and put up with bad social behavior when they are discovered for far too long because the belief is that a good superintendent will be able to attract teachers instead of letting them peel away by attrition. Labor shortages are far more complex than pay and demographic association. As the country of America has become more MAGA, and clear roles of conservative behavior, as opposed to liberal behavior, have become more pronounced in the days after the Covid lockdowns, ideologically, the merits of the teaching profession have changed. There isn’t a lot of motivation to enter a field that is anti-family, anti-American flag, anti-God, anti-value. When we have watched now for several years a bunch of radical leftists in Chicago covered in tattoos, body piercings, and chanting for gay rights and more pay while on strike, it’s not exactly a winning combination for recruitment. Most people aren’t liberals, and now that the teaching profession is identified with liberalism, why would some nice young person want to enter that field? 

It used to be that being a teacher was respected in society, but liberals have worked so hard to break down society and destroy the concept of the family that the teaching profession turns off people who value those things. The people who then tend to support it are those who simply need the free babysitting service that government schools provide. They aren’t necessarily motivated by the education quality, but they need to drop their kid off somewhere. At the same time, they go off and work toward anti-family occupations in corporate structures that are just as hostile to the goals of Americans as the public education trained everyone to be. Yet, that is not what human beings living in America want, so we are not seeing their young daughters and sons going to school to get a master’s degree for a job that pays on average $60,000 per year because society no longer respects teachers as the pinnacles of the next generation. Ultimately, the failure falls on the administrative state, just as everything else does nowadays. The teaching profession, as designed by John Dewey and other radical progressives, meant for the teaching profession to centralize learning for a country toward the goals of the Liberal World Order. That World Order is failing everywhere, and the teaching profession is just one of the casualties. It could easily be argued that the failures of the teaching profession are actually beneficial for our society because they will interrupt the mental destruction that has been taught to kids. One of the best things to have happened in public education actually has been Covid, where the stay-at-home orders interrupted the sending of kids to those places of mental destruction, and parents have now caught on to the terrible things that were taught to kids while attending. They are starting to voice their opinions on the matter. While that has been healthy, it has not encouraged young people to enter the profession of something that obviously doesn’t carry with it the kind of respect it used to.

Then there is, of course, the aspect of pay. Many people would consider the $60,000 average that public school teachers make to be a good wage, even though the Liberal World Order will complain that it’s on the low end of what a person with a college degree should be making. The pay scale that assumes such a thing is not based on reality but on Modern Monetary Theory, where the government sets the value of something, and if they need more money applied to the need, they just make it up like they do everything else. Add to that the problem that governments have put in the minds of young people the idea of a “universal wage” and $15 minimum wage that put the government as the distributor of value; many young people would rather sit at home and collect a free check while playing video games than entering a profession that would allow them to earn more money. If everyone makes the same amount of money anyway, why would they want to work for it? It used to be that a $60K per year wage was considered good in teaching because they only worked 7 hours per day, nine months out of the year. But now that’s all changed after Covid. Young people were told that they could stay home and get a free check by the government for just being alive, and of course, a large percentage of people are headed in that direction. 

It is not the burden of society to put up with bad behavior and a teaching profession that is not committed to making a great country full of winning participants of the next generation. Public school teachers have shown themselves as menaces to society, more concerned with transexual rights, open drug use, and political liberalism. When parents see their kids coming home from school and wanting to attend a gay rights parade, the public school they went to will lose that parental support. Then, parents see that public schools are run by teacher unions who think they have equal rights to their children. Then there is a level of hostility that John Dewey and the 19th-century socialists who designed public education were never prepared for.   They invented public education in the vacuum of liberalism. They never had a backup plan for when society failed to live up to the lofty utopian standards of the ideal society as they envisioned it with all the intellect that insanity could have constructed. Now we are seeing all that failure manifest into social policy, and parents, if they have options, are taking them. And their children aren’t running to the profession; they are running away. Who wants to be one of the radical labor union types they see on television protesting in Chicago during the latest strike? Especially if Joe Biden is paying off student loans and is pushing for unearned money given out by a radical socialist government where nobody has to work? Of course, there is a teaching shortage. And putting up with superintendents with social problems isn’t going to help solve that problem. It’s much more systematic than just throwing more resources at the problem or overlooking bad conduct among public employees. It’s a marketing problem; Americans have lost faith in the Liberal World Order now that they know it exists, and they aren’t encouraging their kids to move in the direction of supporting it. We are in a society where that Liberal World Order cheated in an election, removed a president that had America feeling good about itself again, and they gave us this Joe Biden loser. That does not inspire parents to teach their kids to support that mess. Instead, they will turn toward independence to solve their problems and construct their lives as far away from the Liberal World Order as they can. And no amount of pay will stop it. The teaching profession, as it was built by progressives, is dying, and it’s dying because of what they have done. People are turning away by choice because it’s a loser that people can see the results of presently, and they want better options.

The Attack by the Fourth Unelected Branch of Government: Joe Biden is their pawn, and they are out for blood

There was always speculation about the Kennedy assassination that has pointed more toward the American intelligence agencies than to a lone shooter who wanted to assassinate the president. But people had a hard time believing that anybody could be that evil or that we couldn’t trust our various government members. But if there was any doubt, that is now gone by watching the Liberal World Order freak out about another Trump run for office, specifically what Joe Biden has been willing to do to keep his political rival away from the White House. The Biden White House obviously approved the raid on Trump’s home in Florida. The Biden Department of Justice greenlit the raid, and the FBI conducted the deed with drool dripping from their salacious mouths. A chance to abuse their authority and send a message to the former president. They took documents out of their boxes and put them on the floor for all to see, including a Time magazine cover to serve as a metaphor that was clearly intended to be an intimidation tactic; there is no longer any speculation about a fourth branch of government unaccountable to voters who think they are in charge. In their global formation’s early days, they committed assassinations and killed their targets. These days, they try not to do that; they just confiscate bank accounts, destroy reputations in public and make it so their targets would be better off dead. And that’s what the raid by the FBI was, an attempted assassination and a clear message that they were in charge, and they didn’t give a damn what voters thought about it. Now, do you understand, dear reader, why they stole the election and gave the White House to Joe Biden? This fourth branch of unaccountable government wants power at all costs so they can abuse it. And they’ll eliminate anybody in their way to acquire that power. That’s what we are dealing with here. 

Then in the aftermath, as a leaked photo was making its circulation around the media showing how the FBI could desecrate a private residence of a former president by a raid sent by the current occupant of the White House to attack his political rival for the next election, Biden gave several speeches trying to claim that it was the MAGA movement behind Trump who was the real terrorists and that January 6th was the crime of the century. Not because it was, but because the government said it was. We weren’t supposed to look at the crimes of the Biden family, the sell-out of America to China, and the United Nations, the Desecraters of Davos, the many hostile characters who Biden represents in the White House with his stolen election, and we are supposed to believe him when he says that Trump Republicans are dangerous? Well, dangerous to whom? The answer, Trump is a danger to the Administrative State who thinks they are in charge and that they will use any power necessary to exert that power. The raid on Trump and the distribution of pictures, the redacted documents, and the stiff arm by the Department of Justice to any liability on their part for the damages that the raid caused Trump or the nation are all clear indicators of a vast and corrupt evil that is in our current government. It was all a message that they intended to go after anybody who got in their way. That the American Constitution is not their legal limit to conduct against innocent people. But the public should be afraid, and if they weren’t, they would be because the power of this new global government was the master they served, and people better get used to it. 

They had to have an unethical liar like Joe Biden accept his role as the occupier of the White House. Because nobody but a loser like him could put up with the deal. Joe Biden is the spokesperson for a massive power grab by the Administrative State that intends to spit on the Constitution and turn over the acquired power that aggression could give them to the pinheads of Davos and the finance community around the world who want a bloodless coup. And Trump must be removed so that compliance by that world can begin. Because Trump is still a symbol of traditional America, the America they fully intend to destroy. And until he is removed from public view and humiliated, the MAGA movement will continue to be a danger to their attack on American sovereignty and the intentions of globalism. Of course, they are hungry for power, for all the reasons people have been for years. And now we can see just how hungry they are, which appears unbelievable. But the actions only confirm the suspicions. It should be quite clear by now just how dangerous this fourth unelected branch of government is and what they always wanted. The other three branches, the Executive, the Judicial, and Congress itself, were just the façade. The real rulers have been this unelected fourth branch that we have been calling the Deep State but are more appropriately now referred to as the Administrative State. They are globalists in nature and expect to implement a global religion of dualism and international control that they have been thinking about for thousands of years. They are alive and well now, shown by that raid of Trump in Florida and the audacious actions demonstrated in the aftermath. 

These people have been cheating in elections for years; likely, we seldom get the people we really want to represent us because we have not been a representative republic for many years. The Kennedy assassination and the many other killings in the 60s that occurred were the early warnings of the power of this Administrative State. They were happy to blame the mob or Russian communists, but that’s how they have played the blame game for centuries. The goal was to make us think we had a representative government but that we could be forced through actions of fear into doing what they wanted us to do. They allowed the mobsters to exist to create that fear in society, but it was they who fattened their bellies and had control from the beginning. And now they have control of all three government branches and aren’t afraid of people knowing who’s in charge. They feel they can raid the home of a former president and then lecture the world that it’s his supporters who are the real terrorist threat. And some people are tempted to listen because they are afraid of the bullies and don’t want to get beat up or put on the harassment list. Then to further discourage people from resistance to this unelected fourth branch of government Biden told us we need an F-15 to defend ourselves from air raids that he could call in a moment, that a little ol’ gun wouldn’t be enough to stop the power of government controlled by the occupant of the White House, put there by the power of the Administrative State. If there was ever doubt, it’s gone now. This is a hostile government filled with terrible, corrupt people. And it’s the task of our age to fight them off and remove control of America from them. And only then, when America is restored to a proper republic, can the rest of the world have a chance for a good life as well. These international mobsters, criminal insurgents, and maniacal globalists are playing for keeps and have threatened to spill blood if necessary. They’ve done it before and are warning that they’ll do it again. Their message is to comply, or else. And the raid on President Trump was meant to scare us all. It was their horses head in the bed that was the intention, not so much for Trump but for the MAGA movement that feeds off him. They want it gone forever and are ready to fight to make that happen.

Dr. Fauci is Running and Hiding: He is the first to fall, and the rest of the Administrative State is next

What has been going on with Dr. Fauci, the way people have come to hate him, is a lot of what the future holds for the Desecrators of Davos, those aggressive insurgents of the Administrative State who have been tampering with all our lives in the background for most of recent history. Dr. Fauci was sold to us as the good doctor, the protector of people, who was the highest paid government employee because he has stuck around far longer than most people otherwise would. But for a little egomaniac who likes to mess with people’s lives, as a foot soldier of the all-tampering bureaucrat and member of the global administrative state, what else in his life would give him that kind of power? Dr. Fauci would not be happy just driving around in an RV in retirement visiting all the nation’s National Parks. He wants to be invited to all the big social parties and told how important he is, and the only way such a weak little man could get that power is through some government job where the power of big government could stick its nose in everyone’s business all the time. And for Dr. Fauci, being the big man in the public health care business meant power; he could direct money from people like Bill Gates to the kind of researchers that wanted that money. Since he was the broker, it gave him vast amounts of power; over many decades, this power went to his head. And we ended up with the menace to society that we now have today.

With the writing on the wall due to the upcoming midterms, the Republicans will take back power in Washington, D.C., and not just the same old easy-to-beat Republicans from the past. This time it looks like angry, MAGA kind of Republicans who want small government. Not just say so until they get elected, then start having lunch with Democrats and making big plans for an expansion of big government. These Republicans who were cast out of the Trump administration, who saw how Trump ran the White House and what successes were made along the way, they want to bring that blueprint to all branches of government, from school boards to the federal congress and senate. While the writing may have been on the wall from the Desecrators of Davos, who have long planned for the new god of Climate Change to rule the world the way the inquisitors of the Roman Catholic Church did against all pagan religions in times past, including the Protestants, burning at the stake any challengers to that orthodox belief system, what they didn’t plan for was this kind of resistance to the Administrative State which was long designed to be the new enforcers of the global religion of Climate Change to impose the Liberal World Order upon everyone human being on planet earth. They never cared for the American Constitution or the rules of our nation as the game was already rigged in their favor with paid-off politicians like Dr. Fauci there to lead their global administrative state. But a few years into their Great Reset, Americans have shown their teeth, and it’s been pretty hot for mindless government slugs like Dr. Fauci, Dr. Doom himself. 

Like all members of the bureaucratic administrative state who makes all their decisions in a bubble and are not guided by the hands of commerce but by the limits of vision that come from too many rules and regulations that only serve government and their lack of competency, Dr. Fauci thought the Great Reset was good to go, that everything was going to go as planned, and they never had a plan B. Thousands like Dr. Fauci have been part of this Great Reset plan and experienced a great deal of panic when Trump was elected to America. Brexit became more than a political sideshow in Europe. People expected to break up the European Union and destroy what the United Nations had struggled to build over the last century. The whole thing was about to go up in smoke as a reaction to populism occurring everywhere, not just in America but in Brazil, Europe, and even Russia. This has forced the Administrative State, as created by the Desecrators of Davos, to accelerate their plans and, in doing so, reveal too much of what they always wanted, and they hung their most experienced foot soldiers like Dr. Fauci out to dry in a collapse of public trust that seems unfathomable at the end of 2020. By 2022, Dr. Fauci is mocked by just about everyone, including liberals. The lunacy of Covid has worn out all but the dumbest in our society, the mindless liberal who looks to big daddy government to tell them what shoes to wear every day. Everyone else grew tired of Dr. Fauci and the highly politicized CDC. 

Fauci has found himself in this position before, he was at the center of all the AIDS controversies in the 1980s, but over time people learned what a scam that was. Then when they tried to do it again in 2020 to steal an election and get Trump out of the White House, “they,” being Klaus Schwab and his Larry Fink BlackRock foot soldiers in finance to carry out their Great Reset, as it was published at the World Economic Forum. It’s not a conspiracy theory when they tell you what they planned to do all along. You just have to read their books. Now there are so many books that have come out that show Dr. Fauci being tied to actual criminal behavior during Covid lockdowns, how the virus was made in a lab in Wuhan, China, and how it was distributed to the world during an American election year obviously meant to tank the Trump economy and get him removed by voters in a hot election. The Great Reset was, after all, planned already, so they just advanced their plans hoping to sink Trump, but by accelerating their plans, the rest of the world wasn’t ready, they hadn’t defeated populism yet, and instead of getting mass compliance everywhere, they only fed populism making things worse for them. While they are reluctant to admit their failure yet and are proceeding full steam ahead on their progressive agenda of taking over the world’s economies under the religion of Climate Change, populism is fighting back in ways they aren’t prepared for. And that Liberal World Order, which Dr. Fauci is undoubtedly one of their brightest examples, is failing everywhere. And rather than face the fire, the career bureaucrat wants out and will retire in December of 2022, before the new congress takes office and the congressional investigations into all the unconstitutional activism that was witnessed during Covid and how those influences were motivated by forces outside America looking to destroy our country overtly and to take over the remnants in the aftermath. They had it all worked out in the wine parties of Georgetown and Martha’s Vineyard. But they forgot that they did not have a political majority and could only manipulate the world from a place hidden from the eyes of the masses. But in their haste, they showed their cards, and people are now on to them. And all that is left to do for them is to run and hide while they still can. Which is precisely what Dr. Fauci is going to attempt to do.

Beetlejuice and the Head-Shrinker: Standing and fighting instead of getting up and leaving

What’s going on with conservatives? Aren’t they all like Mitch McConnell asks the modern progressive loser working in government, bowing to the feet of the United Nations, and has always had globalism as the sovereign idea for the future of humanity? No, they were never like Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, or Liz Cheney. The Cheney family, the Bush family, the McCains, the Portmans, and other similar political figures have been propped up to represent the conservative side without actually representing anybody but liberals. And there aren’t that many real liberals in the world; not once people started really talking to each other. Instead, Republicans are more like the witch doctor at the end of the great, funny movie from the 80s, Beetlejuice. You might remember when Beetlejuice was in the afterlife at the end of the movie, and he had a long wait in the receptionist lobby for his appointment with the everlasting. But next to him is a head-shrinker who will be called next. So Beetlejuice steals his number by tricking him into cutting in line. The behavior of Beetlejuice in that movie is how I see Democrats, takers, ostentatious imposers of time and money upon the world around them. And Americans, real Americans, are tired of them and want to do to them what that head-shrinking witch doctor did to Beetlejuice upon realizing that the guy had just stolen our ticket. The witch doctor simply sprinkles some dust over Beetlejuice’s head; just like that, his head shrinks to close out the movie with a funny ending. That’s where America is with globalism and the sorry, loser Republicans who have helped it along.

This issue hasn’t been addressed before in America because conservatives have always responded to liberalism by moving away. You can see the trend clearly if you have watched real estate values over the years. Where liberals move to, conservatives move away to get away from them. It’s even more evident in crowded movie theaters. You might notice that few people ever choose to sit next to someone else if they don’t have to. Americans like their space and their personal freedoms, so when given the option to turn the other cheek and leave, they usually do. Conservatives never choose to sit down next to a heavily tattooed, blue-haired liberal covered in body piercings and to start conversing with them. Instead, they’ll do what they need to do to be as far away as possible from them. When those types of people start moving from one place to another, conservatives pack up and leave. Only now, we live in a time where there really isn’t any place to go. Traveling a lot around the country, you can see this condition  most apparent in places like Austin, Texas. Liberals have been encouraged by radical progressives like George Soros and many like him to invade conservatives in their home areas and attempt to convert them to liberalism or make them move away so that liberals can take over the local government in those areas. Those areas then become blue areas, states, or cities, and then start the process of personal destruction because Democrats take over those governments. 

Now there isn’t anywhere to go. People have moved, turned the other cheek, and are now red with the slaps. And Republicans have not represented them the way they sold themselves. Real Republicans are tired of having Beetlejuice continuously stealing their number and cutting in line, playing them for suckers. So they are fighting back; they are turning toward Trump, who fights back the way they want conservatives always to do. And that is why voters are picking Trump-backed candidates in the upcoming election over traditional offerings. That’s why political machine families like Liz Cheney are suddenly ineffective. They never represented conservatives, but Democrats knew if those people were in government, it would be easy to destroy conservatives any time they wanted.

For many years people just tried their best to ignore politics and its influence over their lives. But eventually, it was just Beetlejuice and the witch doctor sitting alone in that lobby of the afterlife, and everything was going to come to a head, which is where we find ourselves now. Republicans want their party back. They don’t want to keep moving and avoiding Democrats wherever they appear. Aside from moving into space, there isn’t anywhere in the world anymore to get away from the globalist goals of Democrats, so finally, the idea of standing and fighting is part of the conservative view. Ten years ago and beyond, conservatives might have said about their liberal instigators, pray for them, wish them well. Then they would go to their homes in rural America and give themselves space to deal with Democrats, and it worked so long as they could get away from them. But not anymore. Now the Democrats are moving all over the country like the disease they are, destroying healthy tissue in government whenever possible. It’s what they do; it’s all they do.

Fortunately, there really aren’t that many Democrats, which will become very obvious if America moves to paper ballots and a one-day election as they have in France. All the early voting that Democrats want and the mail-in considerations have only opened the door for massive cheating, which has obviously been going on for a long time, and in giving the impression that Democrats were even with Republicans in real numbers among the population density. In actuality, there is only one Beetlejuice in a roomful of Republicans. There really aren’t that many loser liberals out there, which becomes apparent when you see a voting map of America where only a few blue areas show concentrated in large cities and their surrounding counties, while the rest of the nation is overwhelmingly red. In the past, conservatives would just sell their property and move to leave behind their homes to incoming Democrats. They’d move to Florida or wherever liberals weren’t and hoped to avoid dealing with Democrats in any way possible, just as they do in crowded movie theaters. But a point comes where people realize there is nowhere to go, so they are turning their need for change toward the Republican Party as a whole and replacing the kind of candidates that represent them. And that is what is at the heart of the MAGA movement. People are tired of their own version of Beetlejuice and want retaliation for Democrats always stealing their stuff. And they want to fight back, finally and fully. That means Fox News has lost its audience. The Chamber of Commerce’s view of the world has lost its grip on mass populations. And publishing is obviously making a turn; the books that are selling are not the memoirs of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan as they used to be. It’s The Great Reset by Alex Jones and news about the Trump White House by Jarad Kushner. And people will go wherever Trump is on social media because they want the head-shrinker who will retaliate against Beetlejuice and defend conservative values instead of always being a sucker to liberals. Sure, there is panic among traditional media and the leaders of political parties. It’s scary to have their head shrunken by an angry conservative. But it’s the wave of the future and will just get more intense as people stop doing what they have done for years, and that is to get up and leave. When there is nowhere to go, standing and fighting are the only and next option.

Where is the Sheriff Jones Press Conference: Just ask your friendly Neighborhood Lakota School Board Member

Matt Miller of Lakota schools has been very open about trying to get rid of political enemies as he did Todd Parnell over woke politics during bad conduct among the student population, then again with Darbi Boddy when she showed up unannounced to take pictures on the walls of CRT teachings reported there. In both cases the Lakota superintendent, Matt Miller took action to force resignations, which was an insult to the people who voted for those representatives. He acted in a way that showed disregard for what damage might occur to those personalities and what it might cost them professionally or personally. That might seem fair in love and war, but when he stumbles on things, he shouldn’t expect people to treat him lightly. After a messy divorce, some of the documents from that divorce have been revealed by his ex-wife, and many within the Lakota school district have now seen what those documents say. He might say she’s crazy, as a lot of men do about their ex-wives as they try to move on after a previous marriage, but from what she has said about him, it’s clear that we need as a community to check it out. At the very least, the superintendent owes the tax-paying public an explanation that explains away what she has been saying with written testimony. I’ve never been a big fan of Matt, and always thought his $200,000 salary was too much and thought a less expensive person could quickly replace him. That evidence reported by his ex-wife was turned over to the police because it went well beyond politics and community gossip but straight to matters that only law enforcement should be dealing with. There were text messages which came from his phone with entire conversations on them where really bad things were talked about. They were screenshots taken by his spouse. The Lakota school board now has possession of much of this material in addition to many more items that are now public record and are available upon request. Could they be fake, perhaps, that was for the police to correspond through an investigation, which they have been conducting? I reminded everyone involved, which was a growing list of angry people made that way by the way Matt Miller dealt with his political enemies, that everyone had the right to due process. He might be innocent, and all this evidence could be made up. But as things have matured, it looked less likely, so it was all turned over to the police and the Lakota school board, and now that school has started, people are frustrated that the investigation was taking too long. Because based on previous actions and the safety of kids considered as the priority, the lack of urgency by all involved has left many questions. Questions, after all, are perfectly logical, especially after what we learned about the Jason Gmoser child pornography case. I personally like Mike Gmoser, the Butler County prosecutor. But his relationship to that case which carried with it life imprisonment, indicates to the community that when we hear of cases that might be unbelievable otherwise, we have an obligation to investigate at a minimum.

And for good reason, after all, there is a six-count indictment against Butler County Auditor Roger Reynolds over just a real estate transaction that led Sheriff Jones and the Attorney General, David Yost, to give press conferences about, and that entire case was built on hearsay, where one party said something about another party that was in the public eye. Many people think that the case against Roger Reynolds is entirely political. Still, if that is the level of criteria we are using to measure legal cases, then there is a lot more hearsay involved in the Matt Miller divorce where his ex-wife is saying in writing much, much, much worse. I again would offer that Matt might be innocent, but when there is that much smoke, there is fire to stir it up. Why wasn’t Sheriff Jones standing in front of his emblem at his office and giving a press conference announcing all he and the police were doing to protect kids from the potential danger of the superintendent at Lakota, according to a reliable witness, his ex-wife? Do we just take his word for her credibility? As a community that pays his salary and counts on him to sell Lakota to the world as a safe and reliable place to send children, are we supposed to ignore what she is struggling to say because it’s inconvenient or that we might personally like the superintendent? It would be one thing if the accusations were just spoken, but these were written in text messages, confirmed by police interviews, and court documents from the divorce corresponded with the conversations. So, there is more than enough evidence to take caution on the matter and find out what’s going on. But after several weeks, and school starting with many upset who know about the matter looking for some acknowledgment of justice, the cold reality of a perceived cover-up was beginning to take hold.

The media wasn’t camped outside his home the way they were with Darbi Boddy when Matt Miller served her with trespassing papers on a school she is supposed to be managing as a board member. Matt took it so far that her story made the national news, and it was very embarrassing for her. Wasn’t that a purposeful defamation of her character? She was only a few months on the job after being newly elected, and obviously, Matt Miller was doing to her what he had done previously to Todd Parnell. He might have thought that a good idea, but he made a lot of political enemies by doing it, and shortly after that came a barrage of whispers about his sex life. You would expect a person who makes as much money as he does to show better discretion than all this. He should have never picked fights like this unless he was squeaky clean, and I mean eat off the glass clean. He might have a good explanation for the behavior of his ex-wife, and he should explain it, instead of digging in and avoiding the problem publicly. His lack of direct response to these issues has fed the fears in the people who have seen the text messages. And for those he has made political enemies out of, they are looking for anything to hang him on. And if he gave them the rope, that’s on him.

One of those six indictments against Roger Reynolds is a statement by Jenni Logan, who surprisingly left her job as Lakota’s treasurer on August 1st of, 2022, just a few weeks ago. Given the timing of this information and how it has been brewing for much of the previous school year, we must now look at who knew what and when and how involved they were in all this, if at all. But first, we must allow due process to do its work. The evidence must be validated, and explanations are mandated. For people to regain trust in Lakota as a school system, an investigation is necessary because this erosion of trust has brought us to this place and was created by Lakota management. Trust is earned; it isn’t just given away by title and by the way Matt Miller has actively worked to get rid of political rivals, as he did with Todd Parnell, and has tried to do with great fanfare Darbi Boddy, there was going to be a cost to it. The anger created by him has caused people to talk, and evidence was bound to come forth. But this isn’t just some community gossip. It’s a family member and a network of mad moms provoked by a long history of Matt Miller’s community interaction. At the very least, he has shown really bad judgment. At the worst, that’s for the police investigation to determine. Based on how the Sheriff’s department went after Roger Reynolds over much less evidence, we should expect the police to confirm or deny the results of their investigation. Doing the right thing is sometimes very hard, but we all have an obligation to justice. Otherwise, we will just get a lot more bad behavior in the future. 

I would have preferred to just see what comes from the police investigation, but after the events that occurred on Monday the 22nd of August 2022 some understandings must be met. I watched the school board meeting to see how this issue would be addressed, knowing the contents of the email that was sent to the school board earlier that morning. The same email ended up in all of the media by the afternoon sent by the person who wrote the board her concerns. Yet the reaction by the superintendent was a threat that would open up a whole can of worms with witness testimony and submitted evidence, police interviews–and mostly silence by Lakota generally, except for massive amounts of gossip. What started as a concerned parent reporting what was told to her that was very much a police matter; the public employees don’t get to go on the attack against their boss, the voters of Lakota. Explanations are the burden of the superintendent, it’s his life, his mess, and it’s up to him to explain all this to people for continued employment. The institution of Lakota is not more important than the individual people involved. And as to the superintendent’s reputation, he has to be able to manage all these things as part of his job. He owes us, the taxpayers, a lot of answers. But he doesn’t get to boss around members of the community for things he has himself opened the door to. He is not the victim, he is the responsible party, and the burden of explanation falls on him.

Don’t Believe Traditional Media: Trump Republicans are not trending behind Democrats, its the other way around

It’s true; it is a changing world.   Streaming services are out-performing cable news and traditional media, meaning centralized content control is gone. So when you hear the crazy nonsense that Republicans are in trouble for this upcoming November elections, you can attribute that to election shenanigans rather than accurate and truthful information. I told you there would be lots of crazy stuff that Democrats would try between the summer of 2022 and Election Day in November, and this idea that Trump Republicans are polling behind their Democrat Rivals, especially the J.D. Vance race in Ohio and the Oz race in Pennsylvania is simply smoking crack. America is not a leftist nation, and neither are many of the states in flyover country. Only an election that cheats massively could see positive results between John Fetterman, an open socialist who wants to legalize hard drugs for recreational use, and Dr. Oz, the famous television personality with Trump’s backing. I would call them both liberal candidates, just as Kari Lake in Arizona has been a liberal. And Donald Trump used to be a Democrat. Who thinks that moderates will pick Fetterman over Oz when given a choice and a regulated election that doesn’t allow for cheating due to Covid rules made up on a napkin? Nobody, yet we are supposed to believe by a dying, propaganda media that Fetterman is ahead in some polling in a head-to-head matchup with Dr. Oz. No way. 

It’s the old tricks again, but this is a changing world of citizen media and podcasts. People are turning away from traditional media, more out of connivance and options, and moving toward their own kind of media support that is much more catered to them. Fox News is part of that old media machine where it was all about the politics of the horse race, and the name of the game was to raise money and spend it on media in the crazy belief that money spent meant races won. But Trump proved that his rival could outspend him, but if you had the right message, you could win over a bad message all the time, and that cat is now out of the bag. The good political advisors already know what many in public don’t want to admit; the game is over. Dollars spent do not win elections, which means the Fox News model of scaring people, selling people more drugs from big pharma, then getting politicians to buy air time to reach those scared voters is a thing of the past. And the problem there is that the means to polling data that are collected to feed that beast is designed around that fundamental business model. Scare an audience, sell airtime to them, and whoever has the most airtime wins the race. Of course, the media has been pushing that narrative. But that’s also why people increasingly do not trust them. Instead, they are turning to their own forms of media to get information making podcasts the preferred means of getting information. Cable news, network news, and newspapers are no longer the primary means of reaching an audience.

Polling was more accurate because pollsters knew where to find people to ask for reliable results. A few years ago, pre-Trump, pollsters knew who Republicans were, who Democrats were, what shows they watched, and how they voted in the last election. They could call people on a hard line at dinner, and someone would usually pick up the phone. Now pollsters aren’t so sure who they are calling, they only have cell numbers, but Republicans don’t pick up the phone to unknown numbers at near the same rate as Democrats do. When they do get someone who might have voted for Democrats traditionally, they are now turning toward Trump. So when a media company like ABC News or NBC, who certainly want an outcome that steers the world back to traditional politics and media control, needs polling data to support their position, where do they turn? Well, they are calling known Democrats who still pick up the phone and are in their phone banks as consumers of traditional media. But Trump Republicans are coming from all over the place; they are those who don’t pick up the phone so quickly and long ago moved to new media for their news. They are likely to be immigrants who don’t want what happened in the countries they are running from to occur in America, so they are voting Republican, but not Democrat. But they aren’t being called because traditional media thought those people were just going to vote Democrat anyway, by default.

And to make matters worse, Trump has many new media that emphatically support him, like his own social media platform, Truth Social, or the Warroom-driven, Gettr, which has millions of very active users. Twitter has lost its previous power, as has Facebook. Where it used to be hard to tell who conservatives or liberals in social media were, but now it’s been clearly divided. Conservatives have moved entirely away from media sources that have shown political activism against them and are now somewhere else, where pollsters aren’t sure how to reach in a sample of 1000. So, the data ends up top-heavy by liberals because the pollsters don’t know how else to populate it with conservative input.

You can hear the fear in their voices, especially on MSNBC and Fox News. They must believe that Trump is a liability to candidates like J.D. Vance and Dr. Oz, and that Democrats will trend ahead naturally because the nation doesn’t like Trump and are upset still about January 6th, and that Trump insists the elections of 2020 were stolen.   Auuuh, most people believe that the elections were stolen in 2020 and many elections before. And people could care less about what happened on January 6th. If anything, many people mutter under their breath, “they had it coming.” They may not admit that in public, and they certainly won’t answer a phone call from a stranger on the matter saying so. But when they are among themselves, they are cheering on Trump to stick it to the machine that wants to imprison them with more corrupt politics and a government that represents globalism, not their backyard needs.   So the polling is unreliable because the conductors of the information have a pre-conceived outcome that they are noticeably endorsing for their own survival. It’s the wrong information from the start. They assume that Trump is bad and anybody else is good, so they seek the information to fill that reality. And are avoiding the results that will take them to the real answers they don’t want to know. So what we end up hearing from them on news reports is that Democrats are poised to do well against Trump-backed candidates because the actual name of the game is to protect their advertising dollars from traditional candidates who still believe money spent are races won.   And hope for the best. Because for them, the end is near. The world is changing rapidly, and they aren’t ready for that change. So they really have no choice in the matter but to hope to bluff their way to their own survival. Because when it comes time to admit they were wrong all along, they probably won’t be around to report it.

The History and Mistakes of Masons: Understanding why Never-Trumpers are failing all over the world

People are always anxious whenever the subject of Masons or Freemasonry is brought up because that indicates in popular culture the camouflage of conspiracy theories that many of these secret societies have used to hide their political manipulations over the years. And people naturally assume that they are made up of dark and evil forces who secretly control all our lives, and much of that has been on purpose to help sell their effectiveness in the world. But like all things, the truth is often a combination of many things, good and bad, and can’t be summed up easily with the definitions our public educations and media culture have given us. Instead, an expanded understanding of the world around us is required to understand what is really happening in the example of the massive Liz Cheney loss in Wyoming and the activism of Joe Biden abusing his authority with the FBI to break into a former president’s home in an attempt to eliminate a future political rival. And many people are still spinning from the effects of global government dominance regarding Covid, so they don’t really know which way is up these days. But it’s not too complicated if you understand what forces are at work. But yes, to explain all that, a general history of Masons in America and Europe must be understood, and to know that their goals, as they always have been, were to take the world into a global unity where eastern religions became the primary influence, just as it was in Egypt during the many thousands of years of rule there. Masons see Egypt as the ideal society, and the goal of the higher degrees has been to return to those eastern religions, and to a large degree, that is why America was formed in the first place. To escape the Roman Catholic persecutions in Europe and carry their ideas for a New Atlantis to the New World and build their ideal society. Ben Franklin was a Mason; George Washington was a Mason. Many of the founding fathers were, and it is accurate to say, America would not have happened without Masons. That is why there is a giant Egyptian obelisk just outside the White House in Washington D.C., the city of Masons and their dedication to the traditions of the Gnostics, the Cathars, the Knights Templars, and then finally, Freemasons. 

I’ve been in many Masonic temples, there is usually a large building in every city and community across America dedicated to Freemasonry, so it’s impossible to discuss anything political or religious without them being part of the conversation. Yet, they are never really included because they are secretive about their function. Masonic temples are often very Egyptian in their design and purpose, and it lures their initiates to continue with their studies for great wisdom by referring to one of the longest-running societies that we so far know about in the history of the world. But, they see themselves in two ways: freeing the world through education in ways that the Roman Catholics and western civilization have generally failed at up until the time of America’s westward expansion. But they also see themselves as the great philosopher kings of Plato’s Republic, working in the background and helping humanity guide itself along a productive life. And everything is fine until people don’t do what they expect them to do. From the perspective of the Masons, the American Revolution was a success story. Things worked out pretty well, and an excellent Constitution and Bill of Rights were formed based on the long failures of civilization up to that point in time. But the French Revolution turned out to be a disaster. Masons conducted their actions in secret for a good reason because in their past roles, as Knights Templars, Cathars and Gnostics, they were invariably hunted down and killed. So they began to plot the downfall of all world rulers through Freemasonry, which led directly to the American and French Revolutions. Because of the violence and failure of the French Revolution, because the French turned away from freedom and back toward monarchy not long after Napoleon was no longer emperor, they turned to Karl Marx for a new way to topple monarchies and top-heavy aristocracies, which is how Lenin was sent to Russia from Germany. And why to this day, the Desecrators of Davos operating through various masks of Marxism have involved themselves in the various trade guilds and dominate finance. It was always part of the plan from the beginning. Each generation would take a portion of the plan, and they would pass the baton to the next generation through the various Mason halls toward their goals of globalism and the eventual restoration of an Egyptian type of society, with them acting as the great wise advisors to guide mankind through the ages, as they saw things. 

But there was a little bump in the road. While the Masons were planning the overthrow of the colonies of Europe, and the rest of the Masons, including Napoleon and several of the Spanish leaders, were all on board with helping facilitate the utopia of Francis Bacon’s New Atlantis in the new world, the Louisiana Purchase was more of a plan than a calculated good deal, just as President Jackson had always wanted to take Florida from Spain. They gave it up without much of a fight for the same reasons. And so too was the Spanish American War where Santa Anna, the Mason was extinguished without much of a real fight. While they fought for their sovereign countries, they were all brother Masons. Like NFL teams playing against each other on Sunday, they may have played each other on the field. But they were all playing for the same NFL. In their quest for freedom from tyrant kings from Europe, they unleashed a new kind of human being in America, the gunslingers and expansionist adventurers who found freedom under the new Constitution and did not even want to listen to the philosopher kings of the high degree Masonic order. What we call the establishment is really a brotherhood of Masons who thought they were making a world of free and enlightened people, but once they arrived at their destination in America, they found, as they did during the French Revolution, that things got out of hand, and they are now unable to put it all back in the bottle again. And now, in the 2020s, after many thousands of years of struggle, they don’t understand why people would pick MAGA over their Masonic order, their philosopher-kings built by their Liberal World Order, the Seven Liberal Arts by way of education. Now you can understand why the Never Trumper movement hates Trump so much. Trump was not a Mason. He was not a product of their Liberal World Order. He was an ostentatious, materialist, capitalist, fearless, non-crying human being as far from Egyptian society as a person could get. This was not a person guided by the Star of the East; he did not worship Isis or schedule his day around horoscopes and the bright star of Sirius. He didn’t seek guidance from the supernatural to do things; he did them on his own and with extraordinary recklessness. So in that way, by empowering the West to overthrow the dictatorships of the world, as was the plan—then to use the West to rebuild the world by propping up China and reestablishing eastern religions that unite the world, Americans went their own way and even pushed away the Masons from their lives. And they picked Donald Trump and the MAGA movement over their thousands of years of plans handed from father to son to grandson through the ages to the ultimate rejection that we see today. And that is why that look of desperation was on Dick Cheney’s face when Wyoming was poised to reject his daughter in an election. And why the FBI is willing to break the law to preserve the more profound law they serve, the Masonic order that built them in the first place. And now it’s all falling apart, and they have no idea what to do about it.

Without the First Amendment, Government Schools Would Have Nothing to Fear: The problem with a liberal education is it’s full of “liberals”

The problem with government schools, specifically liberal education, is that it is full of liberals, and until very recently, conservatives just dropped off their kids and wondered why later their children wanted to attend gay rights parades suddenly. More conservatives, real conservatives, are starting to get involved in school boards, and there is some hope out there that Republican values will guide public schools away from the runaway train that always follows Democrats. And when I say Republicans, I’m not talking about softies like Charlie Crist, formally a Republican, now a Democrat, or Mitch McConnell, Rob Portman, Mitt Romney types of RINOs. To be Republican and considered conservative, in the way we are talking, you need to be resolute in your values and not willing to yield to the whims of Democrats. In politics, you might not always get what you want, but that doesn’t mean you have to like it. You can push back and fight for what’s right, even when you are outvoted in a government body. The conflict has a value all its own. But too often, conflict is avoided in public education, starting on school boards. They hide hard decisions behind lawyers, who are progressive disasters of an occupation all their own, and a whole topic for many other days. And they hire radically progressive superintendents who can make the teacher unions happy and create a façade of management by giving them the keys to the car and then wondering why they don’t come home at midnight as promised. Then to hide all the bad behavior that evolves when the rooster running the henhouse starts showing signs of corruption, the school boards go on lockdown on virtually everything because it’s their only move. On the one hand, they look permissively incompetent; on the other, they look publically ineffective. 

As more and more conservatives start entering the school board business, unlike how it has been in the past, especially in Florida, where under Ron DeSantis, we are seeing a real coalition of education reform occurring, school systems are actively looking to gain control of the media to control the narrative, which often isn’t good by default. The problem is you can’t put that many liberal people in one institution and then expect them to all behave. So many bad things start happening, leaving the school system, putting all their efforts into trying to keep those bad stories from the public. That’s why they want to get control of the media, then try to hide behind a façade of lawyers to protect them from public opinion. But that’s why there are so many laws in favor of transparency. Whenever a government body does the work of taxpayers, that is why precisely there are so many records kept meticulously on everything. Because traditionally, we can’t trust public officials to do the right thing without vast amounts of oversight. It drives liberals crazy because they want to operate with supreme authority and hide their bad behavior behind social status and professional titles. But history shows that it is precisely the seeds of corruption that we must always be cautious of. That conflict is why the Biden White House wants very much to have a disinformation board of some kind to regulate what people can say about government institutions and to limit free speech dramatically. Governments, by their nature, are prone to corruption without oversight, and liberals simply don’t like that much scrutiny because they know they can’t live up to the expectations. So now that more conservatives are getting on school boards across the country, governments increasingly want to limit free speech by any means necessary because they can see the writing on the wall, which means an end to their way of life. 

There is an assumption by liberals that if they capture an institution, such as journalism, just like in the game of chess, they win the game by gaining control of the pieces. But that’s not the reality; citizen journalism has proven to be much more effective than the mainstream sources, who aren’t part of the game. Those chess pieces aren’t even on the board of play to capture, so in the world of the liberal education view of things, they don’t know how to fight this whole First Amendment thing or the concept of a Second Amendment to defend the First. Or a Fourth Amendment that prevents government authorities from imposing themselves on a population by force to control what they think and what they say to others. This whole Bill of Rights is a disaster for the corrupt who seek jobs in public education to hide their bad behavior from the world and apply it to the safety of like-minded people who gravitate to the public education profession. I’ve been covering bad behavior in public schools for a few decades now, and I’ve seen and heard absolutely disgusting things, leaving contemplation to wonder if any of it is worth it. Public education, because most of the participants lean liberal politically, has a lot of bad characters in it who should not be teaching children anything. I don’t come close to reporting every story I know about because if I did, I’d have time literally for nothing else. Public schools are such negative places with so much bad conduct occurring that I personally find them revolting. But if not for citizen journalism, certainly not the lazy losers in the mainstream outlets, public schools would be so much worse than they are. If not for people poking around in meeting minutes and occasionally speaking at the school board meeting, mostly complaining, but for a good reason, public schools would be much worse than they even are now. 

I would recommend often calling the bluff on those pinheaded liberals who want to control the flow of information with threats that might end up in a courtroom. These people can’t afford such situations because there are public records. After all, there are witnesses, and there is usually lots of evidence. Public schools want more than anything to shut people up and keep things contained because so many laws force them into transparency.   One thing they can’t do is afford to have people talking in more public forums, like courtrooms or at Friday night football games. Because of free and open communications and the flow of information and people’s opinions on that information, it’s really the only check that keeps behavior under control in the public schools. Otherwise, there would be many more stories of sex with students, abuses of power, and sheer crime that is often present wherever community oversite isn’t present with the First Amendment. Liberals would like to have supreme control of social circumstances where expectations are never set to limit their bad behavior, but thankfully that is not the world we are living in. Instead, we are going in the opposite direction, as more conservatives get on school boards and start to bring those values to public education. Maybe then, and only then, will there be a chance for government schools to work. But less free speech, less oversite, more centralized control from a Biden White House of what can be said and how it’s defined is simply not an option and never will be. Because that causes deviant behavior, not enough oversite, and people are afraid to speak up when it’s required. The way to keep things honest is to say something when you see something and keep things from being shoved under the carpet, so innocent people are none the wiser.

More Conservatives Win School Board Seats in Florida: We need more Darbi Boddy types at Lakota

Just because the conservative experiment at Lakota has not turned out well doesn’t mean it’s a failure across the country. I would say the problems we have at Lakota are natural and part of the transition process. Not the result of failed intentions. When I signed up to help elect a conservative school board at Lakota with a 3 to 2 vote on issues, that, of course, assumed that we were getting conservative candidates. But through the rigors of the day-to-day operations, sometimes people find out they aren’t so conservative. They may have thought they were conservative in the safety of GOP meetings, but when the rubber hits the road, and process bureaucracy starts to take effect, people learn a lot about themselves that they may not have known. And people fall off the wagon. In that case, we just need to look for more candidates and keep putting them on the school board. I signed up for a Darbi Boddy type of school board, not a bunch of softies who would let the superintendent rule the world. I expect the school board to be in charge, not to let radical employees rule the day, and so far, in 2022, that is what has happened. Once things started to get tough, we discovered that Darbi was the only one showing up for work. And that is why we have a lot of the problems that are going on at Lakota now. I wouldn’t say it’s a failure of an effort as much as we are learning what kind of people make good school board members, and we are getting a definition of conservative values that is challenging people’s belief systems in themselves, which will ultimately be good for the community, even if it’s painful now. And as usual, what goes on in Lakota, a big government school in Northern Cincinnati, in the community where I live, so goes much of the rest of the nation. 

In the recent elections in Florida, Republicans showed up to vote for school board members 3 to 1. The more states in America that start to run their states as Ron DeSantis does, the more this trend will continue. Ohio isn’t quite there now. There are a lot of RINO Republicans who still think of themselves as Bush conservatives and Reagan admirers. But Trump is a bit too much “solution” for them, and when the pressure is on, they crack like eggs over an omelet. School boards should never have been considered “politically” neutral. The goal in politics isn’t for everyone to get along.

Public schools are radical institutions conceived by liberalism for teaching liberal arts. They have not produced children that grew up into happy Americans, quite the opposite. Many parents are seeing that they are unhappy with the product of public schools and are finally inserting themselves into possible solutions. For years people have asked me to be a school board member at Lakota for several decades now. Over time, the idea of public school has absolutely made me sick. I don’t think they are good at anything they do. But I have offered my help, especially these last few years, to help make them into a solution. I was quite aware that the people I was dealing with were professional community conversation types who befriend you to win you over, like a timeshare salesman. But I helped anyway because the school of Lakota was already in my home district. I personally pay thousands of dollars a year into that mess. So, I was open to the idea if it could be saved somehow. So, I helped where I could to see what might happen. It was worth a shot.

Other Darbi Boddy types are out there, and school boards across America have elected them by popular vote. It’s part of the trend of populism that is migrating to form the modern political movement that is going to sink all the mistakes of the administrative state finally, as it was conceived by communist and utopian socialists like John Dewey when they came up with the dumb idea of public education in the first place. Sure, it’s been a good free babysitting service for busy parents, but it has raised disasters in people who are failures of the 7 liberal arts in every way they could be measured. Even the best students of the public education system have turned out to be disasters of people and what is bad about the whole institutional approach is that public schools led by liberal-leaning school boards have developed the habit of protecting the bad conduct that goes on in the schools, rather than managing those problems for the betterment of the children involved. It’s all been a disaster from top to bottom, and finally, people are starting to admit to it and are offering themselves as options to get elected and help the way Darbi has been in Lakota. Even if the vote count at Lakota isn’t as conservative as it should be, it’s still better than what we had before. And future elections can certainly smooth that ratio out and will naturally match the national trends toward populism. 

Ultimately, however, my opinion hasn’t changed, even with this trend toward conservatism on school boards. Public education as a concept is doomed. It’s too expensive, inefficient, and doesn’t produce good people. It’s just a trainwreck in the best of cases. It certainly has not been a replacement for good parenting. After the behavior I have witnessed so far in 2022 regarding school board behavior and how the big liberal administrations behave toward it, it’s obvious to me that public education is doomed to complete failure. Suppose they think Darbi Boddy is bad and that the only acceptable Republican on a board is some wishy-washy RINO who will go way out of their way to get along in a “nonpartisan” kind of way, always bending the knee to radical liberals empowered through the teacher’s unions. In that case, there is no hope for them. If they are having trouble now, what will they do in the next elections when more Darbi Boddy types get elected and replace the stale old establishment types who covered up way too much bad behavior just to protect the school from outside opinion? They aren’t going to make it. I remember in April when the news story was all about Lakota might lose their superintendent over the radical school board member, Darbi Boddy, as if we needed to get rid of her to keep him and his $200,000 salary. Well, I don’t think he’s worth it, especially after watching his performance through Covid and recently over several things. We would do better with a much more engaged and less progressive person. I know they fear teacher shortages and bad state report cards, and the public relations of the superintendent are meant to put rosy glasses on all that for the illusion of goodness. But when a district is garbage, it is garbage. You can’t put perfume on it to make it smell better. The fact that the public employees of Lakota want so badly to get rid of the best school board member, Darbi Boddy, says that they aren’t ready to deal with the national trend in public education that is happening everywhere. And that fault is their own for failing to adjust to a changing world and holding on to a failure from the progressive past.
