My Vacation from Slow People: The need for speed is a very real thing, and is uniquely American

For purely selfish reasons, I have spent much more time shooting in Fast Draw competitions during the summer of 2022. I’ve always done competitions like this, but this year I went to all the Ohio Fast Draw events and traveled a lot more than usual to competitive events giving myself a much-needed vacation. The question that has come at me is why I was running myself ragged with all the events. There are a lot of easier things to do in life than competing with guns in stressful and very fast matches where things are measured in such small increments. Shooting and hitting a target in under half a second, or at nearly a quarter of a second as I typically do, isn’t what many people consider relaxing. But believe me, in my life, it is. That kind of speed and free flow of pure energy is a real benefit in ways that are hard to explain, which I’ve tried when people have asked, scratching their heads. But after a weekend shoot over Labor Day where I could shoot competitively with some really great shooters and the event was fast and very competent, I found myself grateful for the experience and the summation of all the other summer shoots. I was taking some of my own advice from my book The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, and I’m very glad I did. Fast Draw is the fastest sport in the world, and when you have to deal with many hundreds of people per week, sometimes thousands, the chance to stand in front of a target and just let everything rip forth is wonderful.

The truth is that people are slow; they spend much of their lives looking for reasons not to do things, so when you find yourself dealing with many people, all who are doing their best to do very little, it can be very frustrating. And the world, after Covid, as a result of Klaus Schwab’s Great Reset and the intrusive actions of Bill Gates, making the governments of the world dance by the strings they control like wood-carved marionettes, has only become slower. Bureaucrats have one purpose in life: to make things go slower. Everyone in the world these days seems fully committed to going as slow as they can and to lobby for things to be slower and slower. You can see the difference in a typical drive-thru window; things have slowed down at McDonald’s and Wendy’s fast food restaurants due to a post-Covid world. The government has told employees they can take off all they want and still get paid. Doctors have become everyone’s parents and intercede when those mean old employers expect work performance for the pay they issue. It has become a real mess of incompetence that is the net result of the Biden administration’s attitude toward work, labor, and globalism, which has sucked the air out of the ambition of American effort in truly disgusting ways. And I have been getting angrier and angrier the more I deal with people causing me several times during the year of 2022 to consider just packing everything up, telling everyone to go to hell, and going to a mountaintop with all my books and saying, “peace out.” 

I live a very fast life; I always have. I love speed because the quicker you can do things, the more you get to do in life. So it is hard for me to slow down long enough to go to see medical people because time is always scheduled to their convenience, not yours. I hate going to the BMV for that very reason. It’s such a slow process. I have even been very frustrated with one of my favorite things, going to Kings Island on Friday nights after a busy professional week, because things have really slowed down there as well. My wife and I like to ride roller coasters to blow off steam. I get time to think about things while we wait in line, and of course, roller coasters are nice and fast. But the employees have been horrible this year, worse than at any other time in my life; they are slow, dim-witted, almost representatives of a zombie apocalypse. I don’t think that the people changed, but we lost IQ points during Covid, and the government has crippled young people into thinking in a lazy fashion that makes them barely functional. So even going to Kings Island to relax on roller coasters has not been as fulfilling as it normally is. I’ve never liked the European attitude toward work, which you can clearly see anytime you go to London, Paris, or the Netherlands; they don’t like the American expectation to have everything fast; they like to take their time and smell the roses as they say. But I find all that slowness disgusting. And with Covid and the Biden administration, those types of slow people have been empowered, and the more you deal with people, the more of that attitude you tend to interact with. And for me, it has been real torture. 

So that brings us back to Cowboy Fast Draw and competitive events. All the people in that sport get it. They understand the need for speed and the beauty of unleashing energy and flowing toward an objective as quickly as possible. And spending more time with those kinds of people has been truly wonderful. I can’t say that I will always be able to shoot in those competitive events as much as I did this year. What I did was probably excessive, but it benefited me wonderfully. But, I have been gone a lot. I am one who does not do well in traffic jams. I don’t like to get stuck under any conditions waiting for much of anything. When I get out of a traffic jam and back into the country where roads are wide open, I like to drive as fast as I can without people in my way to slow me down. And that’s how I am with most people. I like to pack a lifetime into a typical day, so when you end up dealing with people who would rather be asleep and multiply that by 100 or 200 people, it can be very frustrating. But I healed much of that this summer and accomplished many of my personal goals for shooting. I won a lot of events which made me happy. It was consistent even under great duress at times, so I learned a lot of good things in doing these events. But the ability to remove all the noise from my life and just let loose all the speed I can muster on something with intense focus has been wonderful. It has restored me some patience in dealing with a much slower world that needs motivation to go faster and be more competent. That is, after all, one of my core values to others, and when I get to the point where I don’t want to do it anymore, a lot of people end up suffering. So the Fast Draw events have been significant; I have been doing them almost every weekend and traveled to many places to participate in them with many like-minded people. And I can’t recommend Fast Draw as a sport enough, for all the reasons stated and more. Speed is great. Slowness is for the lazy.

The Seven Liberal Arts: By teaching people to think inside a box, the criminals could get away with committing the real crimes outside it

One thing that is very obvious after Covid and the election fraud problems from the 2020 election is that we see that there are people like Bill Gates, George Soros, Klaus Schwab, and many other maniacal characters who are willing to take advantage of people as the book How to Lie with Statistics establishes. When you control the measure people use to apply to the world around them, you ultimately contain what they think and do. Most of the world was defenseless to see what a very small few of the controlling elite were doing, criminally, because their educations in life prevented them from seeing the big picture. I do not doubt that from a medieval perspective, where few people could even read the Bible, the Seven Liberal Arts that Plato envisioned, and the Freemasonry movement, which was one of the first genuinely global organizations in the history of the world, seemed like a great idea. By teaching people in public education grammar, logic, rhetoric, arithmetic, astronomy, music, and geometry, Masons coming out of Europe thought that they could create a utopia for people to live in and everything would be fantastic. And when John Dewey and his progressive, Marxist friends, inspired by books like Looking Backward and other socialist utopia concepts, breathed to life behind Freemasonry, they thought they were doing a good thing. And for more than a century now in the United States, we have treated education around those seven liberal arts, with physical fitness now added to the mix and merging some of the other topics to keep the number at seven, as something sacred, than the actuality of the danger they always were. Because of the limits of a liberal education, people were defenseless in 2020 to properly deal with the aggressive political tactics of the Liberal World Order, which sought openly to take advantage of those limits and make a move to control all the political mechanisms of mankind.

I’ve never thought our education system, from pre-K to K through 12, or college and the post-graduate courses were enough for a properly balanced mind. I would suggest that the free education governments provide people is worth as much as you pay; free means its garbage. Aside from the ridiculous social concept of stealing the money for this monstrosity from property owners, a Marxist concept if there ever was one by Dewey and the gang of late 19th century progressives, the idea of a free education looks noble on paper. Yet, it has created drones of people unable to think for themselves. It has opened the door for tyrants, who know precisely how to cheat the system they created to serve the Liberal World Order, to rule over the masses based on the limits of their educations. People have been purposely taught to be stupid by those who want to rule the world. That is a concept that Plato never worked out in his Republic, and his student, Aristotle, was much keener on. Intelligence has to fight for its right to survive because there will always be aggressors who want to take advantage of the limits a society proposes to the world, based on everyone knowing essentially the same thing. Once you know the limits of a person’s understanding, you can do as Bill Gates does, and that’s Lie with Statistics. Control the information people see, so they never get the big picture because they don’t have the mind to see it.

I’ve been thinking about this problem for many decades, really, since I read the great book by Robert James Waller, The Bridges of Madison County, a region of the country I was able to visit last year. And in those vast fields of Iowa, while sipping a Mello Yello in the early morning mist and looking west before the rest of my family awoke for the day, I was thinking about fashion and who decides what fashions will be popular, as the author of that book contemplated quite effectively. Who decides that blue jeans will be the fashion people will wear? Or what haircuts will people like? Or even what kinds of music will shape our society? When you start asking those kinds of questions, it all points back to the Masonic Seven Liberal Arts limits and how people who understand how to exploit what people know by looking like some mysterious high priest of esoteric knowledge suddenly tell people that mullets are coming back in style. It has been interesting over this last year to watch people come out of Covid, and suddenly, people are questioning the validity of their public education in ways they never have before, just as that Liberal World Order is trying to sell the world on the new religion of climate change and why gas prices must be high because of a war with Ukraine and that people need to give up their gas-powered cars in favor of an electric one that California can’t even support on their weak, self-imposed power grid. With people starting to educate themselves outside of what the Seven Liberal Arts instructed them, they are beginning to gain the ability to call BS on what they are being told by the media, also controlled by the limits of the Seven Liberal Arts, because they all had the identical educations and the limitations that went with them. 

I wouldn’t go so far as to say that the whole plan was sinister from the start. I think the Masons, Greek, Egyptian, and Atlantian cultures that have created the foundations of the Seven Liberal Arts concept had good intentions. But as we know, the path to Hell is always paved with good intentions, and there were plenty of crazy, evil people who would seek to take advantage of the limits of liberal education in public schools for their own version of world domination. By teaching people to think in a box, and the crimes of humanity being conducted outside the box, then most of mankind would be vulnerable to those crimes because they would never see them coming or going. They would only feel the effects, which was essentially how the crime of Covid was perpetrated upon the entire earth to commit election fraud in the United States by hostile actors hiding in the shadows for a global overthrow and to solidify the power of the Liberal World Order, the Administrative State of perpetual government expansion. They never thought they would get caught because they assumed people had been taught not to see the crime. But with mass media and decentralized education going beyond the Seven Liberal Arts, there were enough people who could think outside of the box to disrupt what was going on inside that box that mass society was taught to stay inside. And the criminals were exposed and awaiting punishment. But first, people had to see for themselves what had been attempted, which is where we are today. Yet, it doesn’t take the edge off the fact that very few attempted the crimes to rule the great many. Bill Gates was one of them; he attempted to Lie with Statistics to take advantage of the limits of the Several Liberal Arts and impose on the world his new religion of Climate Change and all the evils that went with it. So long as people were as dumb as their liberal public educations had taught them to be, people might have gotten away with it. But of course, they didn’t.

Government Schools are All About the Employees: The kids are used as a means to expand easy jobs and administrative nonsense

Everyone wants to know what’s going on with Lakota schools and why there has not been any mainstream news regarding the very serious allegation against the public school administration. Given the nature of the offense, as indicated in the official police report from the Butler County Sheriff’s Department, many were expecting at least an arrest or a leave of absence. But there has been nothing but an acknowledgment of documents, one from the police indicating that on August 8th, 2022, the complainant responded to the Butler County Sheriff’s Office to report that she had received and compiled information from a third party of potential criminal wrongdoing by the suspect regarding juveniles. Then there is a short email from the president of the Lakota School Board speaking on behalf of the entire Board, saying, ” Ms. (former candidate for Lakota school board), The Board has reviewed your email and attachments. The safety and security of the district’s students is the Board’s highest priority. As noted in your email, this issue has already been escalated to law enforcement and is now in the capable hands of the Butler County Sheriff’s Office. When the Sheriff’s Office concludes its investigation, the Board will review its findings and determine if any further action is warranted. On behalf of the Board. ”  I thought all that pretty interesting, especially after the press conference Sheriff Jones held recently stating that he was investigating wrongdoing in the direction of Ohio Representative Thomas Hall, because years ago, when he was a trustee for Madison Township, there were questions as to whether or not he recused himself on Fire Department matters since his father was the Fire Chief. As discussed before, Thomas sought legal advice on when to recuse himself and when not to, so he was clean. But, with a Sheriff talking tough like that, you would think that a Lakota school administrator with an ex-wife putting in writing some really charged content would inspire more action on behalf of the “safety” of all. But after a month of tranquil activity on the matter from the administrative perspective, there hasn’t been anything to satisfy people’s fears.

I was wondering myself, knowing all the characters involved. When I first saw the material, I could have published it and beat the rest of the media to a really salacious story. But I was more concerned about the criminal side of the story and wanted to know how much some of the people in charge cared about what was happening in the school. Unfortunately, we have our answer, and it’s one I thought we would have from the beginning. Over the years, I have witnessed too many of these stories to think anything else. But I thought it was worth a try. We trusted the system and hoped for a reasonable outcome. With a case like this, it would be expected to have at least a note from the Board to the parents, much like they have on other things in the past. I remember when someone left a threatening note in a bathroom during a levy campaign, and a lot of drama was made about it. Lakota always seems to send home notes to the parents, letting them know when something is wrong and that the administration is all over the issue so they won’t have to worry. But on this issue, they have been oddly silent. They might say that it’s purely political, the entire escapade. But then again, what hasn’t been political? The moment that new school board member Darbi Boddy was voted in as a new school board member, many board members and the administration have been trying to remove her in any technical way they could, using every excuse possible to make a media story out of her, to put pressure on her to resign. So why wouldn’t there be political opposition flowing in the opposite direction? They should expect it; they created that atmosphere. 

The truth is that all public schools, Lakota being just one of them, are all about filling the needs of the employees. They could care less about the kids involved. This is the case today, and it has been the case over the many decades that I have been involved in these public school issues. Government schools like Lakota use children as a playground for the adults, making these schools some of the largest employers in the region. Yet they expect to never get in trouble for bad behavior. If what was happening at Lakota were happening at any large corporation, there would be, at a bare minimum, paid administrative leave while everyone sorted out the matter. There would be press conferences updating the taxpayers on what was being done to investigate the matter and assuring the public that good people were doing good work. I wanted to think differently of Lakota, knowing some people the way I do. I really didn’t think they would be willing to put up with bad behavior when they saw it and knew about it. Even if it was just the remnants of a bad marriage, when a personal life starts to impact the public life of someone, that is a factor in work performance that can be very negative. But there was just a case the other night where a person was caught regionally just downloading child porn, and the police were all over them with arrests and significant news coverage. Why, with this case, did everyone suddenly want to show a benefit of the doubt toward the evidence presented, even as crazy as much of that evidence has been? 

A Message from Lakota Local Schools May 5, 2022

Dear Lakota Staff, Parents and Guardians, The end of the school year is a time to celebrate our students and staff and all that we have achieved since August. This year, we have even more to celebrate as we have been able to lift our COVID protocols and return to a much more normal school experience for our students. It is unfortunate that, over recent weeks, instead of this being our focus, district leaders have been forced to respond to baseless allegations and escalating threatening behavior by an elected member of our school board.As a result of a school board member’s blatant disregard for policy and procedures that are in place to help ensure the safety of our students and staff and a productive learning environment, this morning, Lakota Local Schools was forced to issue a notice of trespassing to Mrs. Darbi Boddy. As such, Mrs. Boddy will no longer be allowed on district property without prior authorization and unless invited for official Board business.Yesterday morning, Mrs. Boddy violated Board Policy and Administrative Guidelines 9150 by visiting two schools without first notifying the building principal – a requirement of all visitors to our schools. Entering through the main offices, she then proceeded to ignore staff requests to remain there until the principals met her. Instead, she left the offices and proceeded to walk the hallways, violating safety protocols and causing a disruption in learning at both Lakota East High School and Liberty Early Childhood School. While some may question why such a seemingly steep action was taken against Mrs. Boddy, let me explain. We welcome our parents into our schools; we welcome our community into our schools; and we certainly welcome our school board members into our schools – as long as they follow safety procedures and policy. These are not difficult. They involve alerting building administrators of the interest in visiting and setting up a time that is convenient for all involved. Yesterday, this did not happen. This is also not the first time that Mrs. Boddy has ignored board policy, nor is it the first time she has disrupted learning in our schools. Our decision was not made lightly and was done in consultation with law enforcement. It is my hope that by sharing this information with you, I am able to stop rumors from circulating and reassure you of our commitment to safety. The safety of our students and staff is always my first priority and a responsibility I take very seriously. I will do everything I can to ensure that our students and staff feel safe, welcome and included when they walk through our doors.

Sincerely,

Matthew J. Miller
​​​​​​​Superintendent

Of course, we all know the answer, which is the painful part. Many people knew the answer from the beginning but didn’t want to believe it. I was very skeptical about everything. As things have transpired over the last month, it became an apparent human resource problem without consistent standards, which is a tremendous management problem. I didn’t care much about Lakota at the start of this process. My hope was that by electing better school board members, the proper management of the district’s largest government school might improve. I have seen complaints about her since Darbi Boddy was elected and sworn in because she’s a conservative. It has become grossly apparent that the only thing the teachers and administrators care about at Lakota is not the kids but their easy jobs with high pay rates. As bad as the accusations are in the police report, I know that there is far worse going on behind the scenes that nobody is even talking about because they are either scared or don’t trust anybody to say anything. Not even the police. With the kind of threats that have been tossed at this whistleblower occurs, the message is clear, don’t mess with the breadbasket and playground of the adults who work at the school. The community and the children of the community are there to serve them and them only. That’s not what they say, of course. But that’s the message they convey. To say I’m disappointed would be a misplaced description. I had optimistic hope that I might be wrong. Government schools are all about politics, liberal politics at that, and they waste money on a garbage product while they treat the place like their personal Tinder app. And the way the public employees behave is reprehensible. But why wouldn’t they be when management allows them to behave that way?

The Masons Are Responsible for Most of the World’s Problems: Their attempt to create a centrally planned utopia has only created Hell on earth

I hate to be “that guy,” but you must expand your scope to accommodate more evidence when you run out of obvious answers to the problems we see. And to that point, it’s quite clear that most people in America these days don’t know who is really in charge of our political order. After that ridiculous Biden speech and the way the Administrative State has shown its teeth against President Trump and MAGA in general, we have to accept that there is more going on than what we are shown and the reasons why. And the thing we never discuss legitimately, and when we do, it becomes Lucifer worshipping conspiratorial, is Masons’ effect on our politics and civil government. After all, and I’ll admit this all day long, if it weren’t for Masons, there would be no America or a Bill of Rights. They came to America to establish their New Atlantis and pursue the ideal society of utopian understanding far away from the tyrannies of Europe at the time. But like all organizations, and like even school boards, Masons don’t agree on everything, and after a few years of the American experiment and the massive failure of the French Revolution, they invented Marxism to topple the royal families of Europe and many of them considered that a better idea for their plans of global order back to an Egyptian style societies where they,  the “Plato’s philosopher kings” would rule the masses for their own good from the shadows like a parent teaching children to walk. If people stumbled, they’d come along with their collective wisdom, set things right again, and then retreat to the shadows to conduct civil society. One thing you never really see on a campaign ad is “so and so candidate, Master Mason of the 33rd degree from the Lodge of St. Ignace, and a conservative.” All you really get is “fiscal conservative” and maybe “high school coach.” I mention St. Ignace because I was just there in upper Michigan and while walking through town saw that right on the lakefront, there was a Mason Lodge, a very large one. But like them all, every town, large and small, looked empty and abandoned. Only you never see them go up for sale to become the next Dollar Store. Why do you think that is? That’s a lot of real estate floating around out there in both America and Europe that nobody seems interested in buying for as little use as they seem to have in society.

I’ve read several Mason books and many other esoteric references published about them and by them and, for the most part, found them entertaining. Much of their history happened before I was born in the heyday of the progressive movement, at the turn of the last century, and you can see quickly if you take a long view of history that they have been hard at work in shaping the New World Order that George Bush started talking about. The only real organization besides political groups that are connected to the creation of the state of Isreal in 1948, the invention of Marxism to topple Russia in the middle 1800s, the start of both World Wars, and especially the flow of communism into China were patient and purposeful and the only handoff of these things from one generation to another for continuity of completion that occurs like the hands of a clock, too slow for each generation to notice, just as the Mason halls always seem to be empty, but fast enough to see a lot of activity from century to century as each generation does their part in the Master Plan. FDR was a 32nd Degree Mason, and Truman was a 33rd. Many presidents, including Washington, were Masons or associated to a large degree with them. And to the present, the face-melting that goes on with Trump is that he and the MAGA movement are not part of the plan. For the Masons, it’s the French Revolution all over again, where their schemes have flown out of control beyond their ability to reel them back in. But you can see their evidence everywhere if you know what to look for. 

They get away with it because they aren’t covered on the news, they aren’t talked about in politics, and they do most everything outside the patterns of our everyday lives. That’s why they call them a “secret society.” I don’t think of them as being scary or super smart. They wouldn’t do their stuff in secret if they were so great. I’ve been in many Masonic lodges and understand what they are after. They wanted a global utopia as they envisioned it, about the resurrection of King Solomon’s temple in Jerusalem and the structure and technology of Egyptian society as it was likely inspired by the prehistoric sophistication of Atlantis, which taught the Egyptians all they knew. This first became obvious to me by reading the excellent book by Claire Lee Chennault, the leader of the famous Flying Tigers of World War II against the Japanese, that larger plots were occurring when General Stilwell simply wouldn’t let Chennault defeat the Japanese, only to wear them out. To wear out the Chinese nationalists in the fight and grind down the Japanese attackers. By the time the nuclear bomb, ordered by Truman, was dropped on Japan, there wasn’t much left from either side after the fight. And that allowed communist forces to move in from the North and, by 1949, to take over China. Chennault begged Stillwell for the opportunity to defeat the communists before they could take hold, but the U.S. military was following a plan, a different strategy than what was talked about on the news. By the time Chennault wrote his great book, The Way of a Fighter, to warn of future wars in Korea and Vietnam, the military was done with Chennault and pushed him off into the sunset, ignored. 

It’s not a coincidence that the nation of Israel was created within a few years of the start of communist control of China. And the United Nations was created at that same time as well. Looking back on history now, it makes sense as we watch the same forces at work today, with Covid, the Ukraine war, and the massive transfer of wealth through trade from America to China. Egyptian society was always oriental, and the guiding stars of eastern religion like Sirius and others from astrology always point to the dominance of the East over the West, including the three wise men who came to the birth of Jesus Christ. You might remember when Henry Kissinger and Richard Nixon reached out to help Mao Zedong get his country off the ground from the destroyed wreck it was after the war and become one of the world’s last superpowers. Without Nixon, China would have never had a seat at the table of world power, but if you look at the trade map from the year 2000 to the present, it is clear how trade has been transferred to China from the United States. Clearly, the Masonic order had abandoned their ideas of utopia in the New World and put their efforts into a New World Order centralized in the East under the parental care of communism. But Trump threatened all that with his trade tariffs, and we all remember the panic even from House and Senate Republicans over Trump’s trade war with China. Well, now you can see why everyone was so upset. The Masons had been involved in nation-building and realigning the entire world of global politics for several hundred years, strategies communicated through the many Mason lodges over many generations of stable, hidden control. So they had to get rid of Trump as they had started wars in the past, but this time we caught them painting themselves in the corner and trying to tiptoe out of it. They were caught with Covid. They were caught with election fraud. And now, their control over intelligence agencies like the FBI is so obvious that it’s no longer hidden. Their desperation has shown their fingerprints on just about everything that is wrong with the world, and the plan is falling apart in their hidden hands. But like I say all the time, don’t listen to what people say; watch what they do. And when you do that, you can see by the trade map over just twenty years what has been going on, and then conclude the rest of the puzzle pieces. And it’s not so mysterious any longer. Trump is not part of that Masonic plan. Just like the mob wasn’t supposed to chop off the heads of King Louis of France and his innocent wife, Marie Antoinette. The mob got out of control then, and it’s getting out of control now with MAGA, and it terrifies all these hidden manipulators intensely. Which is exactly what everyone needs to understand is the fundamental importance of the politics of our modern times.

Climate Change is the New Huitzilopochtli: They want you numb and dumb to make the sacrifice easier for them

We’re not just fighting political parties worldwide that have different ideas about things. We are fighting the basic tenants of good and evil that have roots into the past many thousands of years, and that evil continues to resurrect itself through the various liberal movements of our modern times. But not since Moses came down out of Mt. Sinai with the Ten Commandments, which started mankind on a path toward self-government as opposed to the worship of many pagan gods, has this evil been so well defined. We see it today manifest as the Biden administration and their connection to globalism through the Desecrators of Davos. But just a quick trip to Mexico City, which was built upon the conquered Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan, will give a clear look into that vast evil as it was revealed to the world in a much more literal sense for all of human history in the various cannibalism cults of human sacrifice that are attached to every city-state culture. Today we call the behavior of the city-states liberal in nature. But in previous times, before evil attempted to disguise itself from this new Judeo-Christian outlook on the world, the Aztecs and Mayas were quite literal representations of how evil worked in the world through the influence of pagan beliefs to sacrifice all human endeavors to their jealous and corrupt yearnings. You can still see much of Tenochtitlan all over the modern city and contemplate what went on there before Cortés came and wiped their culture out altogether, leaving behind only the name of Mexico to remember the culture of the blood-thirsty Aztecs that had a religion that was essentially a mass production facility of death. 

In the center of Tenochtitlan was a giant step pyramid, not unlike the pyramids from the rest of the world, all part of one global culture of sacrifice that, in many cases, predates modern written history. These cultures consumed hallucinogenic drugs and thought they were talking to gods from beyond the grave who needed appeasement through the mass death of fellow human beings. It wasn’t unusual for the Aztecs, led by Moctezuma, to kill many hundreds of people per nightly ritual. Most of those people came from surrounding conquered territories and would be put in fattening pens to make them more delicious to eat when the sacrifices would take place to the God of War, Huitzilopochtli, known otherwise as Hummingbird. Huitzilopochtli was pronounced (Wechilopchee) in the Aztec tongue. The belief was that if Hummingbird was happy, that he would grant them productive conquests of their enemies with supernatural aid. Once the human sacrifices were fat enough to eat, they would be marched up the pyramid to the top, where high priests would lay them out across a sacrificial slab and cut out their still beating heart with an obsidian knife. The heart would be cooked on a heated pedestal for the spiritual consumption of Hummingbird. Then the body of the victim would be cut up into pieces. The heads and torsos would be tossed down the pyramid’s steps to a maniacal crowd below, while the arms and legs would be put into a big pot and cooked as a stew for mass consumption. Although the movie Apocalypto by Mel Gibson covers this kind of ritual well from a Mayan point of view, if you want to see for yourself how these things were done, that is an excellent movie to watch. As brutal as the movie is, it doesn’t come close to showing just how terrible and evil these rituals were and how common they were in a pre-Christian world. 

Well, imagine being one of the people who had to march up that tall pyramid only to be killed at the top and having to watch the people in front of you by the hundreds be killed, to hear their screams of terror, and to be chopped up into pieces while they were still alive and knowing that you were going to be next. To ease their minds, there were members of the priesthood who would distribute a drug to the people being sacrificed called Ithli, which was a mind-numbing agent that would dull their thoughts and make the terrible things that were about to happen to them much more manageable. After all, it was much easier to have the people the Aztecs intended to kill walk up to their deaths under their own power rather than carry them up there, kicking and screaming for all they could muster. In many ways, we take more precautions in modern-day slaughterhouses for cows, so they don’t see what is about to happen to them than previous cultures of human beings did toward fellow humans. So making those sacrifices numb and dumb with drugs was a key to pulling off a successful mass sacrifice. The less people could think about what was about to happen to them, the better the whole event would go. 

Of course, this is the root cause of the same mass sacrifice that liberals use today to appease the same pagan gods, but only now that they changed the names. Climate change is their new Huitzilopochtli, and a persistence global drug culture of legalized intoxicants serves the same purpose. Liberals, the direct descendants of all sacrificial city-state cultures, have given up the pyramid killings of the Mayans and Aztecs and now utilize mass killing through the medical industry and other devices of human harvesting where death rates are encouraged and reckless, disastrous lives advocated for to satisfy the gods of liberalism where individual integrity is looked down on, but consumption of the spirit for the masses considered a lofty goal.   When we talk about globalism, and the evils of the Great Reset, where it’s evident that mass death was the goal, not the deterrent, it’s the same old gods and the same mentality of mass sacrifice to them that we are seeing. It is also why all liberalism is evil; we are not dealing with rational political parties. We are dealing with an evil that inspired Christianity in the first place, the human answer to the thousands of years of stupidity in trying to appease mindless spirits who mask themselves as gods and speak to the drunk and intoxicated maniacally to create destruction and mayhem to all civilization. You can surely see their work in the Biden White House, the many evils that just the Hunter Laptop has revealed. We can see it in the FBI raid of Trump’s home in Florida. We can see it in the open border policies where women are raped daily, children are destroyed, and the drug cartels are empowered with almost a wink and a nod from our own CIA and FBI. And the hatred of America from those globalists who want to kill mass society for all the same reasons that the Aztecs killed their prisoners is much more common than anybody wants to admit. We are not dealing with rational political disagreements here, we are dealing with an evil that has been with mankind since the beginning of time, and America was an invention to destroy that evil. Not to yield to it. We are meant to destroy these sacrificial cultures once and for all, and when it is asked what is behind the MAGA movement of our times, it is nothing less than the destruction of evil on earth once and for all. Anything less would be considered not acceptable.

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.

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.
