Why the Police Tend to Molest Kids: We can never trust people in authority positions, they need to be watched carefully

I went to get a Chester’s Pizza the other day and went to pick it up, and there were a couple of corrections officers there doing the same.  So obviously, the discussion about the Butler Tech kid who had formed sexual relationships with inmates at the Butler County jail while working as a 17-year-old intern came up.  We were making small talk and discussing pizzas.  They were dressed up in the uniform, and one thing led to another, so I had to ask them, “How could a kid like that get along with the inmates?  How is that possible?”  They answered that there were so many bad things out there that nobody could stop them.  “If people want to do something, they’re going to do it.”  We all grabbed our pizzas, said our “See ya’ laters,” and continued our day.  However, their comment is undoubtedly applicable to many people who look at these public servants; whether it be the police or a superintendent of a government school, we see a massive disconnect between unionized employees of any kind and direct responsibility.  And when pressed, all the adults in the room shrug their shoulders and say, “What do you want us to do?”  This lack of care for the well-being of children bothers many people.  They don’t understand it, especially mothers who instinctively will lay down their very lives for the protection of a child.  And a 17-year-old girl under the adult care of a school of any kind is still a child.  This media story has caused a lot of people to tell stories about their lives and experiences with the police and what their expectations of law enforcement are.  One that struck me over the last several weeks mentioned expertise with law enforcement Explorer posts from many years ago, which gives insight into this massive problem.

When I was a kid, from 13 to around 16, I was in a High Adventure Explorer Post, a coed division of the Boy Scouts of America designed to give the participants lifelong skills in leadership and adventure.  I have made great use of it over the years, and it’s a program that should be available to as many kids as possible.  The whole thing ended for me when, on a warm Friday night in February, I was scheduled to meet a bunch of kids for a fight in the middle of nowhere.  One of them ended up getting killed by gunfire.  And my squeaky clean public persona went under serious scrutiny.  Just that very day, I gave a speech at GE Aviation in Evendale to future Explorers and was elected Vice President of the Dan Beard Council.  After the killing, my time on that board had lasted less than 24 hours, but it was good while it lasted.  I loved the Explorer groups, and every year at Camp Friedlander in August, all the area Explorer Posts would get together to compete in a kind of Olympics, and it was always exciting.  It allowed us to get to know other kids in other explorer posts and learn what they did.  I looked forward to those competitions every year and could tell many stories.  However, one thing that I did know was that the members of the Police and Fire Fighting Explorer Posts always had troubled people in them.  That fine line between being a personality drawn to power and authority and one that will abuse that relationship with other people was common regarding the kids in those groups.

Before we go down that rabbit hole, though, I can also say I was very active in my church.  And I was very close with our local pastor.  So much so that I would sleep in his tent when we went on youth camping trips; now, this guy was average in all aspects of life by outward appearance.  And he was, of course, smart when it came to scripture.  But when I was in a tent with him, he couldn’t stop himself from being nude in front of me—all the time.  If I was just a fraction less cynical than I am naturally, I’m sure there would be stories of molestation.  But my personality repeals those types of things, and it always has.  So there was never any of that.  But that Pastor wanted there to be.  And that went on until my adult life, as he ended up marrying my wife and me.  And his overtly sexual behavior carried on whenever we’d meet.  At the church’s Passion plays, he always wanted us to dress authentically like Jesus and the criminals in just a little towel.  If the towel fell off, we’d be nude to the audience, but he wanted authenticity.  Over the years, I have learned the hard way, between my church and the Explorer Post dealings, that people in power and authority usually have problems with sexual depravity because sex requires a dominator and a domination receiver during the shared experience.  So abuses happen often, and this leads to permissive behavior as if they want to yell at the world, “well, you want cops; this is what cops do.”  They abuse their authority as studs in the barn.  What else would they do? 

Well, while we’re telling old stories, I can say that I have personally employed several personalities who went on to be police officers.  I know the personality type very well.  One couple that I was very good friends with was not shy about being swingers, and they very much wanted to be friends with my wife and me.  So much so that I had parties at my house, and they would attend.  But in their relationship as a married couple, they were in open marriages.  She slept with anybody who wanted to in the Springboro police department.  And he moved on from me to become a cop in Hamilton.  He was a good-looking young man who was very smart.  And brutal.  He was an early version of the cage fighters we see in the MMA today.  But I liked him, even though I knew he and his wife, and most of the cops in Hamilton and Springboro, as well as Mason, were very sexually active.  That guy got himself into a lot of trouble as he and his friends were pulling over carloads of girls and having them perform sexual favors to get out of traffic tickets.  He got fired once the story got out because it was too overt for the union to protect him.  And when he called me for a job referral from Florida, I couldn’t give him one.  My opinion about all this now is that sexual deviancy is so prevalent, especially among authority figures, that people are numb to it.  They accept that it happens, so it continues to happen often.  And we should expect it to be a problem, not something that should surprise us.  This is dangerous because once a society accepts something, it becomes normalized.  And that is what has happened to all our government unions who are in power positions over other people.  The temptation to abuse that authority is just too great, and their collective bargaining units keep them from ever taking responsibility for bad behavior once they get caught.  When the outside world sees this, they get agitated because people generally want justice.  They want to trust these people.  But I have learned enough over the years to say you can’t trust them.  You can expect them to do their job but don’t take your eye off them.  The moment you do, they will be trying to climb into the backseat of a car with a 14-year-old girl with ill intentions on their mind.  We need cops.  We need people in authority positions.  But my advice would be to never turn your back on them.  And never put a 17-year-old girl in jail as a piece of meat dangled before a bunch of lions.  Those correctional officers were well aware of what would happen and created a permissive environment for detriment to occur.  And when they were all caught, they looked at you dumbfounded as if to say, “What do you expect us to do?”  They generally don’t have it in them to do the right thing.  And we should never expect them to do so without careful checks on their power by the media and public, forcing them to live up to a higher standard.  They won’t do it on their own.

Defeating China by Supporting the Rebels in Hong Kong: America’s most important wars are the once we have yet to fight

No, no, no, this is not a new thing.  However, to answer the question about my interest in the Flying Tigers, the AVG group led by General Claire Chennault during World War II, my love and support for that particular military group is not new.  It goes back to my first conscious moments and even to such an extent that I painted my soap box derby car in the fifth grade to look like the paint job on a P40 from that famous group that defended China from Japan in the war’s opening days.  When I say China must be defeated, as I have for years, and it does, I’m talking about the original mission to free the Chinese people from tyranny, and I am obsessively committed to that mission, as I have said in the press following the release of my most recent book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business so much so that I was banned from LinkedIn because they are pro-China and anti-capitalist.  Unlike most people, I know much of what has gone wrong in the background of the world of finance that has made the mess we have today, built mainly on revelations from the excellent book by Chennault, his biography, The Way of the Fighter.  One thing that has always bothered me about the Japanese attack on China was where they got all the money to have a tiny island nation attack such a large part of Asia, and for what reason?  It has never made sense to me, and it wasn’t until we watched how the Ukraine war was exposed with Russia that all the dots connected.  World War II was essentially a created war where big finance that wanted globalism funded the tyrants, such as J.P. Morgan’s relationship with Mussolini and Henry Ford and the crown of England with the Nazis.  You’ll find that the same foreign investors who are now part of the World Economic Forum were the ones who bought the bonds in Japan to encourage the Emperor there to do his part.  And the design was to topple the sovereignty of countries to usher in global Marxism everywhere and create the world we have today.  Once Japan had done its job and killed off a vast portion of the Chinese people, the funding was cut off, America won the war after Midway turned the tide, and the Communists led by Mao Zedong were able to move in from the north and quickly take over. 

China was, and is, a created state.  Communism is a European concept developed in Germany and London by Karl Marx, so it has nothing to do with Asian culture.  When Nixon got pulled into this globalist concept, China was still a backwater dump.  However, under the flag of globalism, spread by the United Nations, which was the point of World War II, international finance started investing in the stability of the communist country, making it what it is today.  When Hong Kong was turned back over to China after years of English occupation, the current ruler of China, Xi Jinping, decided that it was time to turn a capitalist zone into a complete communist slave state, as is the plan for the rest of the world, as Covid was part of the plan.  This is a long war with many shadowy figures in the background; looking back on history, we can see their footprints.  But know this: all the dictators of the world were created caricatures intent to support the mechanisms of global banking efforts at the expense of national sovereignty.  That crack in the wall was evident due to the exploits of the AVG in China.  Foreign policy, not just for the United States but for much of the world, is not shaped by politicians but by international banking, and they hide now in the mountains of Davos, ruling through the paperwork and bureaucracy of a global administrative state.  Those fingers reach all our communities through banking relationships.  And if we ever want to make America Great Again, we will have to, once and for all, solve this horrendous problem with our financial relationships.  It’s a hard pill to swallow when people pay respects to their loved ones who died in all these wars, only to find out the whole thing in a modern context was a massive scam of global insurrection.

China must be defeated, which I outlined how in my book.  Plenty of people have now read it, and a quiet little movement of our own has been going on behind the scenes.  In the same way that globalists have attacked us all, they are more vulnerable than we ever were so that they can be dismantled as well.  And after their actions, they deserve it.  The way I propose to destroy China as a hostile communist threat poised to rule the world is to prop up the rebels of Hong Kong who are still holding out from the tyranny that has been pushed upon them.  China is a lot more fragile than the globalists want you to believe, as they are entirely propped up by international finance.  They are essentially a European state as communism is an export that they have adopted and have been built entirely off outside money, just as Japan was.  And how they are using Ukraine now to do the same.  The weakness is in supporting Hong Kong rebels and undoing what was done after World War II.  If you want to defeat globalism, they are most vulnerable in China. Hong Kong is supported just as European globalists put Mao in power to topple China as a free country, using Japan to break the back of Chiang Kai-shek and Madam Chiang.  Then, when Japan had done what they were sent to do, the funding dried up, and we dropped a nuclear bomb to stop the war, just as the world might have turned off the spigot to a water line.

And yes, China has more than shown its aggression toward America, buying up land and many other assets to gain control of our economy in hostile ways.  They have certainly bought up our political class, and Joe Biden is their straw man.  They are playing the role that Japan played against China years ago for the same objective.  To destroy America as a depleted nation, then to have the saviors of international finance come in and clean up the mess as a captured asset.  Think about all that on this Fourth of July as you celebrate your freedoms.  Your planned demise is being orchestrated as we speak by China, propped up as a globalist powerhouse, made for international destruction, as a weapon of war.  However, they are vulnerable if people understand what game is being played.  China is most vulnerable from free rebellions coming out of Hong Kong.  To defeat globalism, we must defeat China as a communist state, and that means the rebels of Hong Kong need our help, not from our captured government but from the MAGA movement that is taking America back from international financial influence.  The most important wars that America will fight are not the ones in the past but the ones currently in front of us.  And our allies are in Hong Kong, not in the communist government created by the architects behind the United Nations for global domination.  No peace can be achieved with these people.  They must be defeated in all the ways they have attacked us.  And it will be messy.  But first, we must identify the targets and beat them where they hide.  And the way to smoke them out in Davos is to destroy the mask they hide behind, which is China.  And the best way to do that is to weaken the communist party out of Hong Kong and to topple the country from the inside out, as they have been trying to do to us in America.  Which, based on their behavior, is perfectly fair game.  They started it.  We have to finish it.

The Ten Commandments in Every Louisiana Public School is a Great Idea: I would say they should be in every government building

I would say almost everyone gets the Bible wrong.  Religion is often a weapon of the controller over the controlled, no matter where it has been contemplated.  To wash away the positive effects of the Bible but to keep the controlling aspects brought to us by the Roman Empire, the Bible spawned two of the world’s largest religions, Judaism and Christianity, and caused a response with Islam, another religion created to unify vast amounts of people toward a set of ideas that outside forces could easily control.  But the Bible by itself is much more than that, and I have always thought that removing the Ten Commandments from any government building, or society in general, was a terrible, progressive idea.  And all advocates for doing so should be punished for their intentional destruction of society.  The Bible is a fantastic book, and it is scary to think that if not for the Greeks, a very organized society that advanced itself with an empire of its own, without their power and purpose of civilization, the Bible under the Septuagint would have never survived the centuries.  The Bible is one of the rare, lost books to have survived that period, before the burning of the Library at Alexandria, and, astonishingly, we have access to it.  Wherever the values of the Bible have been followed, society has thrived in ways that good thinking tends to produce.  And at the core of that thinking is the Ten Commandments, or what I would call the keys to all foundation laws that can build a prosperous society.  What the Jews started with Moses was the essential ingredient to a positive, self-governed society, which is the root of all the success of America.  And that the enemies of America understand this, which is why they want to destroy the Bible and promote a society of godless heathens who worship at the feet of aristocrats and kings power hungry and corrupt beyond reason, and incredibly short-sighted on global affairs. 

This sets the stage for what we are seeing coming out of Louisiana by Governor Jeff Landry, who has signed a law requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in all classrooms in public schools.  I think that’s a fantastic idea, and I would go much further by requiring the Ten Commandments in every government building.  The Ten Commandments, as passed down to us through the Bible, have proven to give rise to a society that can build on itself and survive from one generation to another.  Before the Bible was widely printed and understood by individuals, society could not have shared values that did not come from a regional king or overlord.  So, the publication and dispersal of the Ten Commandments to mass audiences have been some of the most incredible things ever to happen to the human race, as far as individual empowered common cause is concerned.  It makes sense not to kill people.  It makes sense not to sleep with your neighbor’s wife or any wife but your own.  (and yes, you should have a wife or husband and build families as a personal possession)  You shouldn’t steal.  It would be best if you weren’t jealous of what other people have.  Even though common sense should guide your thoughts away from destructive behavior, the Ten Commandments were written down to share with a mass audience who have taken that common thinking and built several successful societies that last to this day.  And those who want to destroy those societies want to take away their strength, so they work against the Bible in any way they can.  That’s why any culture that works against the Bible and the values in it should be considered terrorist in their intentions and subversive and prosecutable.  This isn’t a debate.  History flushes out the correct thoughts quite righteously. 

I will never forget the reverence for Biblical value when I visited the Westgate Tower in Canterbury, England, and saw the jail cell where Robert Cushman, one of the first investors in the Mayflower voyage, was kept.  The Church of England was an oppressive group, and they were constantly at war with the Pope as Catholicism interpreted religious merit.  Cushman was a Puritan from the new Protestant movement, which the king of England was struggling with to maintain control, so as a street vendor and grocer, Cushman was thrown into the Westgate Tower to punish him for his religious beliefs.  The same kind of persecution we see today for the same reasons, such as Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro, and President Trump.  So, the Pilgrims fled England and Europe to pursue religious freedom and start their own colony, which would become the United States.  Whenever we talk about the separation of Church and State, this is the context everyone should understand.  Religious law is the foundation of our country.  Those who want to remove Biblical references, such as the Ten Commandments, wish to destroy the creation of the most prosperous nation in the world.  So, they are using the reason that America was created as a means of destroying America because people don’t understand the context of American law.  Without the Ten Commandments, there is no foundation for a law and order society governed by individual input.  Visiting that cell of Cushman in the Westgate Tower was one of the most inspirational things I have ever done and was much more significant than just a religious reference.  America started in that cell in the Westgate Tower, and thank goodness some people questioned the tyranny of their time from the churches of Europe like Robert Cushman. 

It doesn’t matter what religion people are in the world; they should thank existence that the Bible survived out of that period to be in our hands today.  And America has every right and obligation to put Biblical law at the center of our society.  The world can cry and whine because they don’t want what’s best for a free society.  Not even religious understandings work authentically on this matter as Cushman and his pilgrims fled the Church as a form of state control and used that same Bible as the foundation of their power and control.  But whenever forces are trying to remove the Bible from public consideration, you are looking at enemies seeking menace at the expense of personal freedoms, and that can’t be tolerated.  So, I’m a massive fan of what they are doing in Louisiana.  I’d like to see the Ten Commandments everywhere and much more often because the separation of church and state issue is a complete fiction by hostile agents of evil around the world.  America was created to separate the right to worship the Ten Commandments away from state control of religion in general, which is what they had in Europe at the time and caused many of the miseries that the world suffers from presently.  Such postures are purposeful in their intentions to destroy the human race if they do not fall under the compliance of the latest tyrant on the world stage.  Affirming the Ten Commandments is smart and is the first step toward a civil society that is productive and beneficial to all the individuals involved.  And the Bible itself is one of the most fabulous creations ever to survive.  And it should be revered much more than we do.  Because if we did, the world’s bad guys would become much clearer as a reference.  This is why they hate the Bible so much and seek its destruction as a public consideration.  They want to remain hidden and the Bible flushes them out, for all to see.

Supreme Court’s Ruling on Bump Stocks: Without unregulated gun ownership, you can’t have a civil society

Here’s the deal, everyone: gun control is not a thing.  Restricting people’s access to guns by government controls is never going to be a thing in America.  The Bump Stock Ban that was initiated by President Trump during his term, as a bone to the communist left, is an excellent example as the Supreme Court ruled against the banning of the device that simulates automatic fire from semi-automatic weapons, as used in the Las Vegas shooting where innocent concert dwellers were pummeled with gunfire, and many were killed needlessly.  Immediately in reaction to the shooting, the communist left was looking for gun control legislation and a rules-based attack on the Second Amendment, and President Trump caved, thinking that if he threw them a bone, they’d be happy and go away.  That is how we have ended up with a lot of dumb laws and legal interpretations over the years and how the communist left has sought to undermine our entire society.  News flash, we don’t want to be like those crappy European countries, or like Australia, New Zealand, or any country that has lots of gun laws and bans on weapons.  It doesn’t surprise me that the Supreme Court voted 6-3 to leave the ban because the Second Amendment isn’t there as a right granted to the public; it’s there to limit the government’s powers over the people.  And we know now, more than ever, that the government is far more dangerous than guns in society.  Without guns, the government spirals out of control detrimentally, and corruption is soon to follow because they don’t fear the people.  The government needs to fear the people they work for.  Without guns, there is no respect because the government has all the power.  Guns are essential to keep all the human temptations toward sinful behavior regulated not out of respect but out of self-preservation.  And that Supreme Court finally gets it, as they are ruling on more issues that are just as logical.

All mass shootings need to be investigated as actions of government involvement.  Much like they did with the Kennedy assassination, where they pick a loner with all kinds of crazy thoughts and steer them through various means toward an action they want done, is a common problem.  The FBI has a lot to answer to, as does the CIA.  They have a lot to explain about the Las Vegas shooter, which they have never bothered with.  They can’t be trusted to order a pizza, let alone investigate mass shootings, which they often have their hands all over, hoping to create mass carnage in hopes that people will be scared into voting for more gun control.  We have seen ruthlessness of all governments, especially in the United States in recent years, that demonstrates a willingness to kill innocent people to advance political narratives.  And when it comes to all mass shootings, most of the time, they are not so spontaneous.  A tip-off trail is usually there for all to see, such as the trans shooter in Nashville.  But nobody ever stops the event from happening, and immediately after the shooting, we have the communist left demanding more gun control as if we could trust a centralized government that was behind such atrocities, such as COVID-19, for instance, with our very lives.  No thanks; we don’t need the government to act like our long-lost parents.  Just build highways, have a military, issue our driver’s licenses, and shut the hell up and mind your own business.  We don’t want kings and aristocrats ruling over us and deciding what we can and cannot have.  And we need guns to make sure the government doesn’t feel like it can get too pushy.  Because when they think people don’t have guns, they always, 100% of the time, abuse their power.

And this Bump Stock thing was a Trump deal, and people were still against it.  Yes, people still support Trump and will happily vote for him again.  But from the beginning, we knew the Supreme Court would rule this way because it’s the only way to rule.  Only an activist court not following the Constitution would think otherwise.  All these other armpit countries out there in the world would do a lot better if they had a set of laws like we do in the United States, with our Constitution.  However, we have a Constitution in America, and the Second Amendment is one of the critical foundations of law that cannot be tampered with.  Bump Stocks and much more must be available to a population to keep the government from getting too far over their skis in grabs for power.  Just because President Trump supported the ban doesn’t mean people unthinkingly follow some leaders.  Trump got it wrong, as he got a lot of things wrong.  He was suckered by the communist left, in much the way that Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates suckered him over the Covid bioweapon.  It wasn’t just January 6th that was an inside job; most public violence is caused by the government, in service to the government, to trick people into giving the government more power.  And when those same people suckered Trump, most of the public understood what was happening.  That’s why we have a Supreme Court, to provide a backstop to much of this unconstitutional insanity by hostile agents of big government loons seeking problems to advance their social menace. 

Philosophically speaking, I don’t think you can have a civil society without a heavily armed public.  The Second Amendment was never meant for hunting.  It was meant to keep humanity’s greed in check as they moved into government positions and had to stave off the temptations to abuse their power.  There has never been an instance in human history where too much power in the hands of government worked out for the people being governed.  The United States was never created to be like other countries; it was meant to be unique, so we have always been reluctant to get involved in other people’s wars.  We are isolationists because the rest of the world is too stupid to push away their governments and demand their freedom from the tyranny of the corrupt.  We’re talking about the same world that killed Socrates for corrupting the youth.  Who conspired to kill Julius Caesar by insurrectionists in the senate.  And conspirators who killed Jesus Christ just for existing.  It’s not an accident that America has the highest GDP in the world; it’s because the government hasn’t been allowed to stop people’s ambitions in life.  And you can bet, without the Second Amendment, that America would be like they tried to make it with Covid, a power-hungry government that would seek to micromanage the whole world and get in the way of everything, and attempt to rule through fear wherever possible.  An unarmed society would be a victim to government under such conditions, and the only reason we have not yet fallen to such a fate is because we have the Second Amendment.  Because there are more guns than people, and the largest army in the world is the private one shared by property ownership by American citizens.  So it’s great that the Supreme Court saw the obvious.  But that’s just the tip of an iceberg of rulings that must be turned the other way because they were created without the Constitution to limit the government’s powers.  And that’s just how it is and will continue to be.

The New Mob is No Different than the Old Mob: The bigger the government, the more mobsters there are to exploit it

Organized crime never went away; it just moved into the globalist movement. The old mobsters like Moe Dalitz from Cleveland and Screw Andrews from Cincinnati are now Larry Fink, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerburg. When people get a lot of money and use it to buy our government, it’s all the same game of corruption.  What we have witnessed with the advent of technology is that the lazy, the corrupt, the malicious, and outright evil people of the world still rally together to use mass to exploit easy living for themselves through crime and jeopardy.  Just as during western expansion, Jesse James and the gang would gather with force to rob a bank or hold up a train and steal the wealth from the inhabitants.  Mobsters always sought ways to profit off sin to exploit an endeavor, and what we see happening now globally is no different.  Technology and travel allowed them to do so on larger scales, along with centralized banking.  In other words, the bigger the government and the more organized it is, the more tempting the target is to exploit to acquire wealth as quickly as possible.  So, of course, governments would be targets for mobster activities.  Why would you hold up victims on a train when you can use the power of the government to do it for you?  All you have to do is control the government, and that is the easy part because there are always whores of some kind looking for an easy buck.  Living in Cincinnati, I have had a front-row seat to some of this mobster behavior.  Some of the biggest mobsters of their time spent a lot of time in Cincinnati and Newport, Kentucky, because it was such a centralized hub within the country.  Like anywhere where there is a lot of money; of course, organized crime elements would grow to exploit it as much as possible, which they did. 

I think it was very fortunate that I grew up the way I did.  I have always had a bold personality, and there was never a part of my life where I faced some ramifications for having it.  Instead, I have lived a vibrant life full of massive experiences.  And when danger and dollars were put before me to see if I dared take them, I was always yearning for the opportunities that came with both.  Not so good for the crime, and of course, that caused rifts that led to violence.  Which I was always perfectly fine with.  I enjoyed it.  If I could be said to have an addiction of some kind, it would be danger and it took me many years to find good ways to satisfy that part of my nature.  It’s a topic that came up in a conversation I had where someone asked me how many times I have had a gun pulled on me because they expected the answer to be zero.  Instead, I had to think about it and realized I couldn’t count them all.  It’s not like it was every day, but it was so often that I couldn’t think of them all, even after several days.  Whenever I came up with a number over twenty, I thought of new times.  And for me, it was never a regrettable experience but an excellent opportunity that made my life better as a result.  So, I don’t look back on those experiences with apprehension, but conquerable moments that made me better.  I learned firsthand that mobsters were not as brutal or scary as portrayed in the movies. Instead, at their core, they relied on group affiliation to fill in insecurities in their public lives that led to easy money because they were essentially lazy.  Their only power was fear and the ability to manipulate other people with even less courage than they had.  People sell themselves to the “take” way too easily, and often.   

Naturally, as our world grew smaller with technology and transportation, those types of people sought to exploit more people easily with a centralized government.  The old mob guys, and I met several of them in Cincinnati, mainly when I worked as a busboy at the Mike Fink restaurant on the Ohio River, was no different from the billionaires and manipulators of the world today, such as Larry Fink, Bill Gates, and Klause Schwab.  People who met Moe Dalitz from the Cleveland Four would think of him as a very charitable person involved in many front groups that everyone would recognize.  He was a trendy guy who would essentially become Mr. Las Vegas.  But he was still a thug, just as Larry Fink of BlackRock is today.  They run front organizations that give them the appearance of legitimacy.  But they made their money off the crimes of their mobster behavior, organized crime.  The activity of washing money through Ukraine by starting wars and profiting off the misery would classify as a classic mobster endeavor.  The only reason they used to be regional is that the technology and transportation at the time kept them from getting too far from a central location.  Back in the period known as the golden age of mob behavior, from the 1920s through the 1960s, planes were more challenging to get around the earth as fast as they can today, and cars were big and slow.  There weren’t highways like we have these days where you can be in another state within five hours of traveling all day, seven days a week.  Now, mobster types can hide in the mountains of Davos with all the other international gangs, such as the Khazarian Mafia, the Knights of Malta, The Jesuits, and the World Economic Forum.  Because of technology, those people have found each other easier and aligned for their crimes against humanity, which is in their nature to do.  I only mentioned my experience because I know better and understand the thinking that attracts those people to do what they do.  And why they point guns at people, hoping to use force to gain compliance. 

I also learned that the only thing those people understand is force.  They don’t respect sympathy or pleading.  They only understand force.  I’m still around to tell some of these stories because of force.  The secret to understanding this realization is that they join mobs for the same reason people join labor unions: they hope to collectively bargain for an easier life that pays them the most.  They want as much money as possible by doing as little as they can get by earning it.  And joining a mob, whether the racket is hustling girls, gambling, or bootlegging, or whether it’s drug trafficking, stealing tax money through front group organizations that get sizable grants from the government, and the kickbacks flow into the pockets of those granting the money.  Wherever there is a lot of money and access, there will be some organized crime element to exploit it and the people in the way of getting it. And there is no appeal to their “better” natures.  They will do anything to acquire easy money.  And demonizing cash doesn’t stop the behavior.  Only force manages such thugs.  There is no way to use bigger government to protect yourself from their attempts at organized crime, which Big Pharma is only a modern version of the kind of businesses that Moe Dalitz used to run.  The bigger and more powerful government only makes it easier for more mob types to exploit innocent people for their desires to gain power and money as quickly as possible, which is at the core of everything BlackRock does in the world from a money management standpoint.  And they are no different than what the old mobsters of memory did every day.  The only difference is that technology allows them to do it on a bigger scale, and our understanding of those scales is just catching up to reality.

The Communist Left Wants Out: Punishment Old Testament style is coming for them after what they have done to Trump

The communist left has gone too far, and I would look for them to try and find some reason to have a mistrial regarding Trump’s sentencing.  Yes, of course, they want to put him in jail and gain the ability to decide where and when he goes on any campaigning on the final stretch of running for president, which everyone seems so shocked to see; Trump is pulling away from Biden rapidly in current polling, especially in the critical battleground states.  The risk for the communists now is what happens to them when the shoe is on the other foot.  Because they have gone all in and then some to use their power to keep Trump out of the presidency, but if he wins anyway, and authentic “democracy” puts him in office, as they did in 2016, despite all the games and shenanigans, what will happen to them?   I can say that Trump was very nice in not jailing Hillary Clinton.  I said then that Trump should have done it because they would do it to him.  However, Trump wanted to play the high ground and be nice to his political enemies.  But they have not been so kind to him, and have done everything they could to destroy him and his family.  Even members of his administration.  Members of Congress.  The Supreme Court itself.  They have shown every ugly card imaginable, and for what, to arrive at this point in history with the public still picking him when given a choice?  And now they are looking for ways out of the corner they painted themselves into.  Including the judge in the New York case looking for an avenue out indicating a mistrial because once Trump does win in November, and the shoe is on the other foot, the communist left will be vulnerable in ways they never imagined. 

My advice, which many people are asking for these days, big names who do critical jobs and are looking for clarity, is that if you want law and order in society, you must punish those who break the law.  And you have to do it Old Testament style.  None of this Jesus stuff of forgiveness.  We don’t have another three hundred years of Christian persecutions only to finally have the Romans adopt our religion and try to unify the world with the Bible, a selection of stories they picked to build a healthy society from their perspective of social control and domination.  I am a supporter of the books of the Apocrypha to be added to the Septuagint for a complete understanding of God’s story from that period of history.  And Jesus was appealing to those who didn’t want to be fed to the lions themselves.  “Remember, Jesus said to turn the other cheek?  Please don’t hurt us for all we’ve done to you.”  Remember what they did to you and give it back to them and then some.  Punish them viciously and ruthlessly, and don’t be nice about it.  That is my advice to everyone in the wake of what we have caught the communist left doing to our society globally.  And when Trump is in office again, if any form of democratic voting system is allowed to happen, people are going to pick Trump, and then Democrats are going to have to be punished for what they did to not only Trump but America in general.  They have openly plotted the destruction of our country, and they must pay for what they did.  And it doesn’t matter how much pain it causes them.  They should have thought about all that before they did what they did.  And compassion for their pain will only make society worse.  

Merrick Garland has been found in contempt of Congress, the same charge they are putting Steve Bannon in jail for, along with Peter Navarro, who is already there.  These were respected members of the Trump White House.  The communist left may not have liked them, but they were “democratically” picked, so nobody who speaks against that process of society picking their representatives and then working actively to punish their political opponents once they gained office can claim they are working for a “democracy.”  Such hypocrisy only fuels the anger against those advocates for such injustice in the wake of the picks of a free society.  Because, in essence, nothing is free in such a world controlled by totality and ruthless authority.  Essentially erasing the exploits of every war won or fought over time by the depraved menaces of scandal and evil.  For every family who has lost a loved one to war, these antics are spitting on the graves of those lost as a reminder that these forces of destruction are in control of our government and are doing whatever they must to hold that power at every expense.  But in so doing, they have lost any reference to public support, even by people who may have otherwise voted for them by choice.  The disrespect for the very system of government that indicates a government by choice has now had that mask ripped away, and people are poised to vote for Trump to remind Democrats that communism is not the government we are going to put up with.  And our elections still matter.  While the communist left wants to desperately when the sentencing for Trump occurs on July 11th, 2024, throw him in jail and hope revenge never comes to them. 

They started all this, now they are worried about the pay back.

Steve Bannon has to report to jail on the 1st of July, so all these dates match up to a vast conspiracy by a communist government, globalist in its reference but every bit as communist as China currently is.  The judicial goal is to remove the critical pieces of the political chess board during the final stretch of the election and hope the public will let them get away with it with such a show of force.  But unlike China and other places in the world where globalists have put communism into the management of their controlled societies, voting is still somewhat free in America.  They do not have the control they had in 2020 when they stole the election and pushed Trump out of office even though people picked him as their representative.  They still have to pay for that crime.  And COVID still has to be paid for; lots of people in our government killed many people, including many of our loved ones.  There were a lot of terrible things done, and there are lots and lots of people who need to go to jail, and even worse, from what we know, they did.  Let alone what we have yet to discover.  And now that they have gone too far with Navarro, Bannon, and Trump himself, they have only themselves to blame when justice comes looking for them.  Because right now, that’s where people are.  They are going to pick Trump.  And if that doesn’t work, they will resort to more ruthless measures because that is their right, and obligation.  That is why I say, for the sake of all humanity, that Old Testament ruthlessness on the law and order front is the only option.  It is the most humane way to deal with the crimes committed against us all.  Such crimes must be frustrated in the future, and if they aren’t punished, they will be inspired to commit crimes all over again.  And we can’t have that.

Bird Flu is the Next United Nations Bioweapon: We know what they did with Covid, and now the food supply is their next target

We are getting ready to see a level of insanity that has always been a part of the Democrat Party, the communist left, that we’ve never seen before.  They always had the capacity for evil to do what they do, but we will see the worst of them in 2024 as it becomes more evident that they will lose power.  And I say that in the future state because the only way they have gained and held power is through deception in the years leading up to now.  And they can’t maintain that illusion without deception.  So they are losing control and will lose their ability to have power over other people, and the wheels came off during COVID-19.  They went all in with the Chinese bioweapon from Wuhan, sponsored by the United States and a whole list of whores from Bill Gates’ money supply, along with many others, and they killed a lot of people, harmed many others, and ruined all our lives which many are still digging out of.  At this point, more people are willing to admit all that than at any previous point because it’s such an evil concept that most would have never thought it was even possible, even as it was happening.  And that is what the communist left was counting on: people would be slow to recognize the threat, and by the time they did, the world would be functioning from a “New Normal” after the World Economic Forum’s “Great Reset.”  I’ll repeat it now, as I did then, well before the Trump administration figured out what was happening.  Even Rush Limbaugh, Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, and all the other popular talk show hosts hadn’t caught on to it yet early in 2020 when we first heard about the bioweapon virus.  On day one of the COVID-19 virus, I said it was an attack on a scale bigger than Pearl Harbor.  And that was how we should have been looking at it.  So I was always right about Covid, and with that track record, I offer that bit of history so that people won’t be suckered again.

Bird Flu is the next bioweapon that the communist left is planning to use to have a COVID-19 part II.  And, of course, they have no other choice as they watch the world turn away from them by the masses.  I think all this is good because these bad guys needed to be smoked out of society in ways they have always been concealed.  And you can see the trends in the cross tabs of polling that have them in a panic.  More people of color are supporting Trump, for instance, than anybody thought possible.  And it’s not older people; it’s the under-50 crowd, which is a big problem for Democrats.  Also, regarding deportation politics, over 50% of Hispanics support that nationalized measure, which was a surprise to many who thought that once illegal immigrants were here, they would support all their friends and families, too, coming in the same manner.  However, most support enforcing border policy away from the current open border strategy.  The communist left is finding themselves surprised at every turn; things are not turning out as they academically planned, and now their fingers have been caught in all kinds of cookie jars, poisoning the cookies.  They will lose on the world stage, not just in American elections, and things will improve.  But there will be a lot of violence and chaos in the meantime because most of these people are complicit in many crimes and the mass death of millions of people, and they have to be punished.  I think it’s good because, at least finally, people have seen the evil behind the friendly masks, and all this horrible activity has inspired them to act toward justice.

And I would caution you, dear reader, I’ll say the same thing to you now that I told John Boehner when he was Speaker of the House, and he laughed like I was just another local conspiracy theorist, anything from the United Nations and its partners, like the World Economic Forum, and the World Health Organization need to be considered military endeavors.  I was right then, and I’m right now.  It was people like Boehner, my neighbor, who made us vulnerable to these attackers, to begin with.  They represent global communism and are on a military effort to take over the world and destroy the United States with the most powerful weapons the world has ever known: propaganda.  Another act of aggression that people have been slow to act on even when the evidence was abundant.  Everything they propose should be considered hostile to the sovereignty of the United States because they do not intend anything good for our national sovereignty.  And their biggest weapon to date was Covid.  What they did with it was no different than dropping bombs on an enemy city in previous wars to force a country to submit to the new threats of power.  It is what Genghis Khan did as a warlord, what Alexander the Great did to expand the Greek empire, what Nebuchadnezzar did to expand the Persian empire, what England and Hitler did, and what has been behind every attempt at global communism since Karl Marx wrote down his collectivist vision on pages of paper and international unions and secret societies sought to expand those management methods of central force community to community.  COVID was their grand fortissimo of thousands of years of attempting to build an international empire controlled by a few elite dominators.  Only this time, it was disguised by hiding the attackers behind white lab coats and academic institutions.  But the greed and power were no different than what we have seen from the worst tyrants of the entire human race.  And in 2024, it’s the Bird Flu that will be deadlier and more transmissible, and a way to hopefully get away from the punishment for their crimes that is coming their way by killing off those that might have the courage to prosecute them.

The giveaway to the effort is the gain-of-function research that made the Covid virus transmissible to humans when it would typically only be regulated to bats in the Wuhan region.  This is why Dr. Fauci and his subordinates are in so much trouble and deserve to be; they made the virus that was natural–unnaturally transmissible to humans.  And for them, it was an experiment because Covid 19 wasn’t very deadly.  It was a practice run for them and a test to see how the world would react.  They didn’t want to kill everyone, just the elderly and weak, which is precisely what they did.  What they did was another form of mass murder disguised as science and economic tampering.  And they had the governments of the world dancing at their fingertips with billionaire money given loosely to build a compliant team of murderers.  The danger with the Bird Flu is that the attack vector looks to be the food supply of the world, so you can starve the human race and force them to pharmaceutical alternatives.  And by creating such a crisis, they hope to avoid an organized world that will prosecute them for their many past sins.   And you can bet they will try because they have no choice.  They either turn to open mass murder, or they are going to be prosecuted by an angry society for what they have already done.  And before they let go of power, they will do everything they can to use it to save themselves from a world made angry and look for much-justified revenge.

The Failure of Bob Livingston and Newt Gingrich: Once you give up moral authority, you lose it forever

I’ve told the story of meeting Newt Gingrich before and how my wife completely insulted him as he reached out to greet her.  However, the context of current events merits revisitation because clarity has to be made as to why that event occurred in the first place.  We are seeing now why politics has changed, why people feel the way they do about Trump, and how the political left has lost forever a trust they abused recklessly.  And so did Republicans.  It goes back a few years for us, back in the 1990s.  My wife and I were young back then but every bit as involved in politics, and I was deeply involved in the antics of the Clinton administration. When he got in trouble for lying under oath over the Monica Lewinsky affair, we knew we had him dead to rights.  Even carrying around his little Bible wasn’t going to save him.  He was going to be removed from office and even possibly thrown in jail, and at that time, Bill Clinton deserved it.  It would have destroyed the Clinton global initiatives, which opened the door later for Barack Obama’s communism, and would have saved the nation a lot of headaches if only they had destroyed Bill Clinton when they had a chance.  Bob Dole was the head of the Senate, and Newt Gingrich was the Speaker of the House.  Things were poised well for Republicans.  Bill Clinton had done wrong with his affair with legal gymnastics that were not going to save him, and we knew the blood in the water meant the end of the Democrat Party.   But then the mistakes were made, and Slick Willy, as Clinton would be called, and the family name would stay with politics, bringing in an era of mob-style politics in the Democrat Party that has brought our nation to its knees now permeated the next two decades once these mistakes were made.  And those mistakes were and are unforgivable. 

The mistake is old, where outrageous evil thrown in front of Puritans locks them up to action, allowing the evil to grow even more, which is a Saul Alinsky tactic.  The mob and Larry Flynt challenging the Supreme Court on First Amendment rights perpetuated this evil, but it was that kind of time when Bill Clinton was caught in so much scandal for the sexual relationship that he lied about to all of us, under oath, which was the actual crime, had the media come to his defense much the way they had with Larry Flynt on the charges on smut peddling.   The media turned the whole story into a sexual one rather than a legal one, and the entire case moved from a crime to the behavior of two people, in the case of the Clintons, most of Washington D.C., behind closed doors.  That’s when the wheels came off the Republican case, starting with the tough guy Newt Gingrich and his second in command, Bob Livingston.  To defend Clinton, Larry Flynt put up a 1-million-dollar bounty on anybody who had slept with a Republican in Congress and that they would be exploited as hypocrites.  The media story about “it’s just about sex” began to swing the other way unbelievably, and my wife and I watched the Republican Party completely lose on the issue when they had all the moral and legal high ground needed to preserve justice.  It slipped right through their fingers because the head of Congress, Newt Gingrich, had been found out to have had an affair with one of his interns. At the same time, his wife was sick with cancer in the hospital, And his do-gooder second in command, Bob Livingston, had an affair with an intern too, and it was exposed, marking him and other Republicans as forever tarnished. Much of that brand damage still occurs today.  When people wonder why Trump, a guy who has been married three times, is leading the conservative movement, it started with soul searching during these critical years in the 1990s.  

Of course, Bill Clinton got off the hook, and the whole story became about hypocritical Republicans who couldn’t keep their pants on. That’s when the entire RINO movement started, and the party needed to be purged of them.  Newt left office in disgrace.  Bob Livingston had to resign, and he did so to inspire Clinton to do the same.  Of course, Democrats don’t feel guilty about anything.  So the reaction from Clinton was essentially, “I’m good; Hillary likes to watch me have sex.  So go suck on that.”  Hillary enjoyed her husband’s affairs; she controlled him with them the way people who like to have dirt on people love such information.  It was the closest Hillary ever became to being President when she could push her husband around every time he got caught with another woman.  She was herself a sexual deviant.  But she enjoyed the power such knowledge gave her over her husband and president.  So the whole thing came up flat and embarrassing because Republicans couldn’t live up to the lofty image they presented to the public when it counted most.  To this day, it’s much worse, and most people can’t have an opinion on morality because they are out there doing the same embarrassing stuff, and the FBI, CIA, and many members of the media know all about it.  So when it comes time to have an opinion, Republicans can’t express it because many times they are just as dirty as Democrats.

Fast forward about 20 years, and my wife and I talked to Newt Gingrich; I shook his hand and spoke to him a bit.  He’s a brilliant political commentator.  And I can talk to people politely and find something to like about them.  Find some valuable attributes to them that can be used politically.  My wife can’t.  If a person is not authentic, she wants nothing to do with them.  She was still mad at Newt Gingrich and Livingston, who had gone on to become a power lobbyist, indicating that he was a party guy in D.C., not a rock of morality, and my wife couldn’t forgive any of them for compromising the Republican Party.  To her point, we didn’t live that way; why couldn’t Republicans in elected office resist the temptations of the flesh and decadence to keep the party on the moral high ground?  Why give that up for anything?  Yet they did, and she refused to shake Newt’s hand when it was just the three of us at an event, making it very awkward for me.  But I understood my wife’s position, and ultimately she was right.  Many Republicans, even now, cannot speak on moral issues because they are committing violations of the flesh as much as anybody.  And God’s forgiveness isn’t enough to save our country.  That’s a lot of the reason we are in the position we are in now, and so much evil has been allowed to grow.  It’s not enough to have opinions about smaller government and taxes and have a pro-business platform.  You must be a good person to your family, community, and country.  And so many officeholders fall short.  And when they do, my wife and I have never forgiven them.  I have lower expectations of people than she does.  But that doesn’t make her wrong.  If only Livingston and Gingrich could have maintained lofty morality when the temptations of the flesh permeated their conduct, the world would be much better off now.  And we wouldn’t have to fight as hard as we do to undo those sins of the past.  Once you give up your moral authority, you can never get it back, and such authority is needed for running a government, which is missing now.

Josh Gates and the Secrets of All Civilization: Why the World Economic Forum is involved in the ancient site of Gobekli Tepe

I do a lot of important things over a week.  But as I told my kids while we were in line to get into the Josh Gates Live: An Evening of Legends, Mysteries, and Tales of Adventure at the Taft Theater in downtown Cincinnati, nothing was more important than the three of us going there together while my wife watched all the grandkids.  My kids grew up on Josh Gates, and more specifically, Indiana Jones, who obviously very much inspired Josh Gates. It was important in ways that most people don’t measure things.  Specifically, I wanted to know a few things about Josh Gates in person that don’t come through the editing of his many thousands and thousands of television shows and interactions through the filter of social media.  Josh Gates is a very talented and good guy who has done much with a quirky in-between media lifestyle.  My family has immensely enjoyed his trips around the world.  My kids were interested in going, so I bought some tickets, not knowing what to expect from a live show.  But I did get my answers, answered.  And it’s not so much what he said, but what he didn’t say as a very successful producer of several shows on Discovery Channel and the Sci-Fi Channel over the years.  He’s seen everywhere on earth, all the various political systems, and conducted paranormal research in some of the most haunted places in the world.  But as I spent time with my kids for that evening in Cincinnati and ran into a surprising number of people I have known over the years, as the place was packed, I was thinking of a video my youngest daughter had sent me by Jimmey Corsetti at Bright Insight, a video channel dedicated to the next generation Josh Gates, Graham Hancock type of material that permeates the foundation of everything and leads right to the doorstep of the World Economic Forum.  So, there was a lot to unpack as the lights dimmed, and Josh Gates came out with a roaring applause to confirm a mystery I had long been wondering about.  And it turned out to be a fantastic evening.

At the end of the night, Josh Gates answered a question from the audience: does he believe in the paranormal after all his adventures? His answer was a cryptic one; my interpretation of it was that there was a social narrative driving the finance industry to not discuss their fingerprints in the activities that most haunt the human race.  Josh Gates is a mainstream guy who gets to fly worldwide, filming exciting television.   But he has had to make a deal with the many devils of that industry who like the ratings, but it’s best to always keep the answers just out of reach of the audience as the Oak Island show does.  Take people on an adventure and show them lots of exciting stuff.  But don’t bring meaning or personal opinions into it; we’ll fund your shows.  Let people ask questions, but never give them the answer.  It’s the way that people who want to control other people control other people, which is why, as Josh Gates was talking, I was thinking of that Bright Insight segment that featured why Gobekli Tepe in Turkey was being protected for tourism by the World Economic Forum disguised as helpful, but in truth, it is to prevent further excavations that show just how advanced humanity has been for over 10,000 years now.  As a professional, Josh knows where the lines are, and he stays within them even if there is plenty of evidence that shows just how mysterious the world is. 

Josh Gates gave an excellent answer to the audience when he answered that what matters in all these adventures is the stories, not so much how true they are.  Philosophically, reality can be decided by all kinds of circumstances.  However, the value of a story in unlocking the brain is ultimately more important.  I was thinking of many mysteries that personally bother me because I know there is a significant game of control trying to keep all humankind from discovering their true origins.  Most wars are about keeping everyone so unstable that the official narrative of human existence can be contained in a narrative controlled by those who want to rule the world.  I didn’t get to answer Josh Gates when he asked the audience what he should explore paranormally in Cincinnati if he were to try after a person from the audience asked him.  I would have told him that most of the downtown area of Cincinnati is deeply haunted and has been long before the city was ever built, especially along 5th Street.  Fountain Square and Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse in the center of the town are built over the locations of a giant Indian Mound that was destroyed to create the city, so the whole area has deep ties to a paranormal world that is much older than many people think.  Including the Taft Theater where we were.  One of the people I know who went there and talked to me the day after received a tour of the place, not realizing she was a ghost.  She’s been there for years and haunts people often, disguising herself as a helpful usher.  But for no reason at all, she took him and his wife on a tour of the whole place and showed him where all the people who had died in the building still resided.  I believed his story, quite certainly.  I have some “experiences” at the Masonic lodge near the P&G headquarters that more than confirm the presence of lots of paranormal activity.  That whole street from Mt. Adams to the Museum Center is a haunted hot spot, and Josh Gates could have an exciting show there.  But my only question to the storyteller was, “Did she show you where the bathroom was?” 

Adventure has many layers, and I do travel and see things for myself.  I admire how much Gates has been able to travel and return to tell about it.  My family loves to travel, and we try to travel together as much as possible.  However, few people worldwide have traveled as much as Josh Gates; his perspective is important.  We live in a haunted world, hiding deep mysteries that are being kept from us deliberately to maintain a social order conducive to the rule of a narrow band of aristocrats to maintain an illusion of ruling over us.  And that is why the World Economic Forum communists are suppressing further investigations at Gobekli Tepe and many other historic sites around the world. It’s the same attitude they have in China, where many of the world’s biggest mysteries can’t even make it out of the communist media market.  They want to be the god their public worships; they don’t want their people to know much about their past.  So, the real fight in the world is between this knowledge of more and the people who want to rule and try to control the narrative.  Josh Gates said that his job is to show people many exciting places.  And that the value of those places is in the stories they tell.  Through those stories, you can learn the truth about things you otherwise wouldn’t have.  But the real essence of the mysteries is under the world’s political order, which is where my interest is.  And I got more out of that little event than I would have thought, and it was a wonderful evening.  Josh Gates is a wonderful dude.

Government is Not Our Boss: The lazy way they manage society with low engagment

I’m not the kind of person who doesn’t like jury duty.  I get a lot of notifications wanting me to do it because I vote for everything.  But I don’t ever get picked; nobody wants me once they realize how opinionated and firm I am in my beliefs.  I consider jury duty a privilege, and I always want to do it.  I’d do them every day if I could because I love law and think working on our issues of crime and punishment would be one of the highest benefits of any high society.  But recently, when I received my latest notification, the whole experience instantly turned me off.  Who writes these things, and who do they think they are?  When they notify you of jury duty, they are so negative and assume that you will be a problem that they instantly turn toward authority dictatorship to drive compliance with their summons.  The first line of their notification to me is, “You are commanded to appear and be available to serve.” Who do they think they are?  Deeper into their notification, they say, “Employers are prohibited from discharging or threatening,” and “if a juror fails to attend,” the court may impose a fine.  No wonder the government has so many problems.  They need to learn some hard lessons about engagement because if that is their default mode, which it is, no wonder they don’t get cooperation from people in a free society.  For a person like me who wants to do these things, that kind of language instantly makes me want to go in the opposite direction.  Nobody commands me to do anything.  The government doesn’t supersede my liberties and cannot compel me to be a part of their ill schemes and detriments. 

This is the general problem with the government and the kind of people drawn to work for it.  The power to compel people randomly and without thought to incursions into their personal lives is disrespectful at best.  To assume that people can rearrange their lives under the compulsion of the court is the wrong approach to what should be willing civil service.  People should want to serve on jury duty.  They should not have to be compelled to do so.  And this assumption that the needs of the court are more significant than the needs of an individual is preposterously horrendous.  That basic premise misses the point of all government.  Government serves us, we do not serve the government.  Notifications like that jury duty utterance show that the government does not know its place and never did.  They started wrong and just continued regardless of what sanity said.  The assumption that society is a low-engagement enterprise that must be ushered around like children fearful of their parents is the first problem in a long list that always leads to the failures of mass society. The power of government to compel people to do things they would never want to do on their own.  Using government power to force people against their will out of fear of punishment is the core of all government trouble.  Then, we are supposed to want to pay more compelled taxes toward a government that grows bigger and more powerful with every dollar they steal from us.  This whole arrangement with the governed is a rat’s nest of irony.  It’s lazy and presumptuous and gives the worst in our society, the most insecure, instant ability with the power of government that assumes it has rights over people it does not have.  “You are commanded?”  That is the wrong choice of words; the government works for us, not the other way around.

Many studies have been done over the last several years on engagement and why people engage in activity by choice.  The cell phone revolution is one of those successful exchanges of how choice motivates behavior.  I grew up in a time when nobody had a cell phone.  I have watched them become as common as shoes; nobody would have ever thought so when they were first invented.  What started as a series of released conspiracies about how the government wanted to survey the actions of all people everywhere with a chip embedded in them, during the 1980s and 90s became cell phones that would track everything we do and spy on us by choice.  We take cell phones wherever we go because we enjoy the companionship.  These days, I am never anywhere where I don’t see a cell phone interacting with a person even when real people are present.  People would rather interact with their cell phones, even during dinner conversations.  That is because the cell phone is polite and offers at least some illusions of choice, and people prefer that option over some dictator presentation.  Cell phone companies figured out how to get high engagement out of their customers by giving them freedom of choice over a long period.  Or at least the veil of choice.  If the goal is to track people and spy on their every movement, then cell phone companies figured out how to get mass society to choose for such an arrangement by the illusion of choice.  All successful enterprises work out some mix of choices to inspire people to engage with their offerings.  That is the key to all advertising, so it’s not like human beings don’t understand the art of engagement.

The government, however, is too lazy even to go that far.  Instead, when they want to accomplish something, they must rely on mass collectivism to inspire fear and drive public engagement.  Whether it’s a case of eminent domain or the draft, the government leans on force to drive participation, the fear of what might happen to you if you do not participate.  But for that to work, they must be bigger and more powerful than you to inspire enough fear that you will be compelled to comply for self-preservation.  That is not how civil service should communicate with people about any issue.  It should be a privilege that people want to participate in willingly.  It’s not something they do because they fear penalties.  No wonder so many people want to get out of jury duty.  And those who serve are not the sharpest tacks in the box because they have nothing else going on.  Who wants to be judged by a jury of their peers when their peers are too fearful to fight back against the compulsion of jury duty?  But rather is some brain-dead slug that doesn’t have a complicated enough life to get out of jury duty.  And then, they survive the lawyers and get picked for jury selection by a top-down parental government that doesn’t respect their time or individuality.  And that all lives must stop for the slow speed of the government.  There is a lot wrong with that simple jury notification.  I would choose to be on a jury every day if I could.  But the way the government asks me to do it makes me want to go in the opposite direction.  The government is lazy and relies on force to impose itself on the people it is supposed to serve.  No wonder the government is always so screwed up.  But it’s by choice, not by science.  They could do better if they wanted to.  But because of the government’s power over people, they don’t feel motivated to do so.
