Judas Pence and the Siren Songs of Populism: People expect Republicans to win, not to be controlled opposition

Of course, the answer to Mike Pence’s comment on the siren song of populism, which has so well defined precisely who he is, is that those aren’t beautiful women posing as conservatives trying to lure well-intentioned people to the rocks of their destruction.  No, those utterances toward populism result from many years of lies by a party, the Republicans, who pretended to be a small government party but are no different from the Democrats.  I could say that about my own Republican Party in my town, but that’s not a new story.  I’ve been dealing with this balancing act since Ross Perot ran for president, and I supported him because I would never get behind the CIA. George Bush or his haphazard son, “W.”  Ronald Reagan was pretty good for a while before his assassination attempt, and after the party establishment started getting to him, he was much less effective during his second term.  Then we had the Clinton years and the fake government shutdowns.  When my wife had a chance to meet Newt Gingrich at a Republican Party event a few years ago, she refused to shake his hand because she was still mad at Newt for caving to Clinton when Republicans had him on the ropes and could have saved a lot of us a lot of grief.  No, populism is a much bigger story than just some fad.  It’s more than a movement and undoubtedly more sophisticated than some siren song attached to lustful desire and short-term gratification. 

Populism is a political strategy that seeks to appeal to the interests and concerns of ordinary people, especially those who feel that the established political and economic elites are not meeting their needs. It often involves rhetoric that frames the people as opposed to a corrupt or self-serving elite and emphasizes the importance of direct democracy and the people’s will. However, populism can also be controversial and divisive, and its effects on society and politics depend mainly on how it is used and by whom.  The conservative tether that Pence is talking about is a leftover idea fresh off of wins during the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 when the Constitution was still new and victorious wars rallied people to the value.  But this Republican Party that Mike Pence is talking about is like some Dallas Cowboys fan still wearing a Super Bowl shirt from the ’70s or ’90s.  It would be best if you kept winning, guys.  You have to earn respect; it doesn’t just grow on trees.  And that is the problem with Mike Pence’s view of what conservativism is.  Conservatives have been the turn-the-other-cheek party, the party of losers.  Who cares what your principles are if you will always get your ass kicked?  That’s not good for branding.  And because they have been soft on everything, corruption has grown into a maddening contraption.  People want wins, and the Republican Party has not given it to them.  Instead, they have been happy to lose, and people are tired of it. 

I remember it well: the night before the election in 1992, I was at the Ross Perot headquarters in Dallas, Texas, getting gifts from his daughters and enjoying the patriotism of a hard-fought campaign.  Many people were mad at me for not supporting George Bush, the elder.  I was proud that Perot got 19% of the vote then.  But I hated Clinton so severely that I supported Bob Dole four years later.  He turned out to be pretty smart; he would become a big Trump supporter.  He was a pretty good guy, even if it took him most of his life to figure it out.  I supported John McCain, and he lost to the communist Obama.  And a few years after that, I supported Mitt Romney, and I remember how it was in 2012.  A bunch of people who thought they had conservative ideas all figured out.  One of John Boehner’s proudest moments was bringing the Pope to the congressional floor as Speaker of the House, as he cried like a baby at just about everything.  Republicans have been like that football team that always loses but are in your hometown, so you support them unquestioningly, like some fool who accepts losers.  That’s not how it’s supposed to be.  Especially when the Democrats have shown such a propensity for evil.  Going back to the Perot election to be in Downtown Cincinnati with many political influencers and watching Clinton give his concession speech was a real gut punch.  Would Bush have been better?  No, Clinton only accelerated the eventual drive toward populism.  As would Obama and now Biden.  Populism would come along regardless because defending the Constitution would require political victories, and nobody was promising that until Trump came along.  And that’s where things stand today.  Americans were hungry for an American First party and wanted it to be Republicans, the Party of Lincoln, the party that freed the enslaved people.  And the party of small government.  Other people allowed globalism to seep into the mix and ruin the character of America as a nation.  They did so by deceit, and people know that now. 

Americans want more than a tailgate party from their Republican Party.  They want to win and destroy the evil Democrats.  To truly stand for small government and to be fiscally responsible.  We now have a band of thieves who run the Beltway culture with lobbyists and overpaid consultants.  And it makes people sick to see.  They want victory and are turning to populism to give it to them.  People like Judas Pence sold out our country, allowed an election to be stolen, and are trying to put the country back in the hands of the people who screwed it up in the first place.  And people aren’t going to stand for it.  I am surprised to see how quickly Republicans in my region have forgotten, and it’s obvious they probably never understood the Trump years.  They were holding their nose and hoping for a return to the low expectations of party politics and controlled opposition.  But that’s never what I signed up for.  I was always a populist and more than that, I expected to win.  Not just once or twice but every time.  And unless my political party is committed to that, I’m not with them.  I will work against losers every time.  This is why Mike Pence, with all his years in politics, should know better.  Yet he didn’t, and he said those words against populism anyway, showing he learned nothing in all those years with Trump.  None of that magic dust rubbed off on him.  Is he happy to be a loser so long as he stands by conservative ideas, even if they are always just ideas and not a reality?  No, people want winners in their lives, and without victory, populism will take on a life of its own.  And if Republicans aren’t committed to winning, they aren’t committed to conservative ideas.  Because they have to be willing to fight for those ideas, and fighting means winning.

The Failures of Globalism: Making corporations the architects of their own destruction

When I think of the Disney brand, I think of shows I grew up with, like Zorro and Davy Crockett.  Those were great family shows that reflected the values of a good and productive society.  And in many ways, this new show on Disney +, Ahsoka, the latest Star Wars television series, is excellent.  But unfortunately, and this is a theme I have been saying for over ten years, Disney is done.  It’s too little too late, and that was obvious when they started making Star Wars movies again, beginning with The Force Awakens, which wasn’t very good.  It was filled with woke garbage and expressed the main problem with Disney buying Star Wars from George Lucas in 2012.  How do you take a movie franchise made by a radically independent person, such as Lucas was, and turn it into a corporate asset filled with emerging woke politics straight out of the World Economic Forum?  The answer is you don’t.  The trouble was evident when they tried to align the production to all kinds of United Nations projects during the filming of The Force Awakens, which was globalism on steroids.  I tried to remain hopeful, but once the film came out and everything that came after, it was obvious that Lucasfilm under Disney would not be as good as Lucasfilm under George Lucas.  Ironically, the Ahsoka series is struggling with itself as part of the plot: how do you overthrow an empire and then become the next established government?  And the answer is that management of anything is hard.  Throwing rocks and having all kinds of romantic ideas about things is easy.  But it’s hard actually to run things once you capture the kingdom.  And that is what is so interesting about the excellent show Ahsoka.  As Grand Admiral Thrawn says in the show, “Make your enemies the architects of their own destruction.”  Globalism has certainly done that to Disney.  It’s an interesting commentary on itself. 

However, this is the lesson for everything that has gone woke, and I do feel sorry for Disney as a company because all corporations that bought into the woke nonsense will go through it.  It’s not just Disney, which is taking major financial hits these days, with the stock price being what it was over a decade ago, and there are no signs of recovering.  It was surreal to watch the train wreck happen, but as a corporation, they were so stupid, so collective based, yet they had all the money in the world to make success happen, yet they couldn’t.  The same could be said of the music industry, fast food, sports, everything.  Disney had a massive media empire, but now the rumors are quite true that they are looking to sell off the losers, things like ABC, ESPN, and many of these satellite companies that have been brand damaged because of woke politics.  The hard lesson is that it’s gone forever once that brand is damaged.  I’ve always been a corporation kind of person because they generate wealth and jobs for people.  I love marketing brands in partnerships, such as with McDonald’s or Coke, which has been common with Disney over the years.  I always love that about Disney World and all their brand alignments.  I love them so long as capitalism is the objective.  Under the woke rules of military implementation of communism through the policies of the World Economic Forum, the goal is to destroy American capitalism through the generators of its wealth.  Disney was one of the first companies to sign up, and it was a horrible decision for them. 

Like the rebellion in the Ahsoka series, Disney is failing to live under its own well-intended rules.  And those rules were that globalism was the future of all civilization.  They were suckered, and they bet billions of dollars on that eventuality.  They thought their brand was so powerful that they would influence the public toward their market needs.  They forgot that the marketplace decides value and that their brand was fragile.  What they thought was robust was only as strong as wet paper. It fell apart in their hands rather quickly.  And the insurgents at the World Economic Forum had planned it that way.  Plotting and scheming the CEOs of all of America’s most giant corporations right in front of their faces, and they all fell for it like a bunch of suckers.  And the public took their dollars with them elsewhere; they didn’t keep spending money on Micky Mouse as Walt Disney envisioned it.  They turned away and moved on to other entertainment options, which is why there is no recovery for Disney as a corporation.  The young people could care less about them, and a good project like Ahsoka isn’t enough to bring them back as fans.  It was too little too late.  The time to make that kind of Star Wars show was back in 2015 because Star Wars essentially became a spokesplatform for globalism, and people were put off by it.  Now, the market has changed completely; smaller media is considered much more valuable because it’s free, and when people see the Disney logo, they think of a big, woke company aligned with political philosophies dangerous to American ideas, which most of the world loves and wants for themselves.  Star Wars would have been better off just putting out the six original George Lucas movies and leaving things be.  But once they tried to expand into corporate control of the brand, they weakened it like sequels usually destroy an original movie idea.  If those ideas aren’t developed in subsequent stories, they burden the original.  And that was something Disney could never wrap their minds around.

I think all corporations that have dipped their toes in the woke rules of globalism will fail or become permanently damaged in the marketplace.  And companies that are anti-woke will see a massive level of support in the coming decades.  I always have a soft spot for Disney because I liked Uncle Walt.  Just like I will always think of George Lucas when it comes to Star Wars, anything done by corporate control might be fun and exciting at times, but it will permanently be damaged goods you can’t trust as a source of art and entertainment because of all the woke inclusions into the story that have now cheapened it forever.  I still think some of the work done at Disney World at Galaxy’s Edge is remarkable from a fan perspective.  It’s science fiction on overdrive if you like expanding ideas and potentials of technology and science, which I do.  It’s a shame that Disney listened to all the wrong people while developing Star Wars under their ownership.  They should have never listened to the wokesters at the World Economic Forum and the terrorists of global economics and their unveiled intentions for communism, China style.  The marketplace was already changing in a way that Disney would have had difficulty adjusting to, but they made it so much harder on themselves and their shareholders with a poor strategic approach that strayed away from accurate economic measures that worked.  So it’s ironic that the new Ahsoka show’s plot deals with this problem, a self-reflection of Disney itself and how good intentions become evil, and disaster always follows.  As they say about Hell, it is paved with good intentions.  And that is certainly the case with all that Disney does these days, and all who took the bait and destroyed themselves as economic, corporate powerhouses that should represent morality and justice as determined by dollars and not woke, globalist insurgents.

Why We Must Be Cautious About the Power of Government: Too often the wrong people gain too much power over their rivals and they abuse it routinely

It doesn’t get talked about nearly as much as it should, but one of the biggest reasons the government should have limited power is due to the tendency toward corruption that those in government tend to be obsessed with.  It’s not just the danger of what a large government can do to those it is supposed to serve but also the annoying obsession that comes from those who discover how they can use it to destroy political rivals, which is just another form of election fraud that is so systemic in our current culture.  It’s not just the political hit on Ken Paxton at the national level that should draw our attention or the antics of the Ukraine War, the lies of the Chinese government regarding the Covid virus release out of Wuhan.  Of the Jack Smith prosecution of Trump, along with the many others who are doing everything with the power of their offices to stop the former president from becoming the next one.  But we see such abuses happening even in our neighborhoods.  For me, in Butler County, Ohio, we have witnessed Sheriff Jones go after political rivals abusing the court system to destroy competing politicians, and we have even seen a school board member from Lakota, Lynda O’Conner, call in the favor of judges to take her rival to court and attempt to destroy their life and manipulate anybody she could in the process to achieve her objective.  I could name off a long list of such instances just in my community, so across the reach of government, this is a genuine problem.  The power that the government can give worthless people.  The more Democrat-oriented the politician, the worse it gets, but government power must be a significant part of our concern.  What will a politician do to acquire strength so they can abuse it for personal reasons? 

I don’t have a lot of personal tolerance when I witness this kind of personal corruption and power of government.  Very few things make me angry more, especially the acquisition of a political office to abuse power over others to sustain some personal failing from the public eye.  I have a lot of people who report their stories of terror to me, from the harassing phone calls when they find themselves on the opposite of an issue from an influential person to the harassment that comes because of the power of government, tampering with financial transactions, digital meters mysteriously falling out of calibration for utility companies, strange people rifling through trash to dig up dirt on their political targets—open threats of violence and vandalism.  You would be surprised what people who want to abuse the power of government will do to harass their political foes.  Very few of them let the process of a republic play out honestly because they seek to abuse the power of government to gain more control; that’s why they are attracted to government in the first place.  They don’t get into government to serve the community; they seek that power to abuse it.  And it is their default mode of operation.  The tendency toward corruption is as abundant as salmon trying to swim upstream to their birthplace.  It’s a standard and is the primary reason we must maintain the smallest government possible.  To prevent such abuses from occurring as frequently as they do.  Knowing that corruption is the destination for most political figures, limited government must inspire them toward honesty because they won’t do it on their own. 

I always say it: I love all Republicans until they show me they aren’t.  Then I don’t like them anymore because, along the political scale, the more big government a person becomes, the less you can trust them as valuable people.  And you certainly can’t trust them with the power of government at their command.  And in my own regional Butler County Republican Party, I do not like to hear people referring to it as corrupt or that it’s like a mob.  That the country club Republicans are a mafia who will exert violence and abuse of the law through legal measures they control to subdue rivals no different than the kind of hits that are known in organized crime.  I have watched several very talented people interested in helping with politics run up against these influential people and see harassment of all kinds come their way, and I explain to them that isn’t how it’s supposed to be.  Many people get involved in politics for all the right reasons, but they soon find that if they don’t appease that mob-like power, they are destroyed in the process and personally harassed in entirely unacceptable ways.  And that’s not how it’s supposed to be.  Our government was designed to serve people, not to subdue them.  Looking for reasons to control the political process so it can be used as a weapon was not how the Constitution should be utilized.  But it’s the primary danger of government; we can’t just make blanket statements about rival political parties when the true villain is the size of the government itself and what weak people will do to gain the power to utilize for all kinds of corrupt reasons.  People wonder why there aren’t more good people in politics; well, it’s because we have accepted levels of corruption due to the size and influence of government that keeps good people out and preserves the power of those who least deserve it.

I even say that politics is a blood sport, and if the rivals want to lose blood, then so be it.  I’m willing to play the game to win in any way necessary.  But should it be that way? Of course not.  That is why limited government should always be our agreed-upon baseline.  The more government power there is, the worse people seek to be in it.  And if we make it profitable for horrible people to gain office, then to keep office, then we shouldn’t be surprised that the process lets us down.  We can complain about it, but what are we doing about it?  Accepting such corruption is not a position any healthy society would accommodate.  It’s all too tempting for people who gain power over others to abuse that power, so for any government that acquires such power, it is common to see them abuse it for personal reasons.  We can laugh about that level of corruption and how ridiculous the people who seek to use it are, but should we laugh it off?  I don’t think so.  If you can’t tend to things in your backyard and will put up with reprehensible behavior for worthless political seats, then we are contributing to evil itself.  I like to see good people enter political offices intending to do good work.  I don’t like to see lazy people who want to enter politics do a lousy job and then use government power to hide their lack of skill from a judging public.  Or they will clamor for a seat because it’s the only thing worth anything in their life, the only path they have to social respect.  And because they are so faulty, they will do anything to hold those seats of power by trying to destroy people who could do better than them.  In politics, if we are not creating an environment of competition to get the best people in the best spots to improve our government, then we are only feeding the tendency toward corruption for all the means of abuse that the government can utilize for all the wrong reasons.  And it should be one of our most significant concerns.  Remember when some politicians say to you, “There is misleading information about me and I want to set the record straight,” just think of the mobster who says the same thing before they try to take a baseball bat out to show how much power they have become because of the government.  Be sure to judge them based on what they do, not the worthless things they say.  Then, use the force of government to conceal.

When everyone wonders why such crappy people end up in elected office, it’s because the garbage who can do nothing else in life cleave for the power of government, then use it to stop better people from beating them in elections.  And that is a problem with Republicans, Democrats, communists, and revolutionaries.  Until we take away the power the government gives to people to use to prop up their otherwise broken and useless lives, bad people will continue to dominate in politics, whereas good, honest people who can do a million other things will do so.  And leave politics to the worst that the human race produces. Instead, it should be the other way around; our best should move into politics to help others become better because they are examples everyone should follow toward individual success.  

I’m happy to help build an excellent political team, and there are at least 20 people I can think of who want to get involved in Republican politics.  But I will not put up with weaponized bureaucracy by incompetent people who clamor for power because it gives them something they wouldn’t otherwise have: power over others.  That is not acceptable.

The West Chester Tea Party is Not Antisemitic: Trying to control the world through managed free speech established by institutionalism

It’s all About Politics and candidates who are afraid to let people see who they really are in a setting they can’t control

Supposedly, there was a meeting at the West Chester Tea Party at the St. Gertrude the Great Catholic Church on September 5th, where accused vitriolic hatred toward the Jewish people was expressed in antisemitic rhetoric, and it was a news story that gained much attention. And it was members of the “Republican Party” who tipped off the Cincinnati Jewish Community Relations Council, pressing them to denounce the West Chester Tea Party for its actions. Apparently, there was a guest at that September 5th meeting where topics about the Jewish people’s role in the world came up. This Jewish organization wanted to attach that discussion to a form of controlled speech that we see as such a strategy of the political left, where they determine what parameters of debate anybody is allowed to have. Anyone who dares to step outside those boundaries will then be attacked publicly, such as what is being attempted by the West Chester Tea Party. And if that was all it was, we could perhaps overlook it. However, I have a long affiliation with the West Chester Tea Party and Tea Party groups in general, and of course, as Paul Harvey used to say, “there’s the rest of the story.” This isn’t about hate speech being expressed over a controversial speaker. But I would say this is all about the West Chester Tea Party coming out and not endorsing Lynda O’Conner for the Lakota school board and ensuring people knew about it. I wrote an article that has been seen by many thousands of people on August 27th, 2023, establishing that the West Chester Tea Party would not endorse Lynda for her next run for the school board. So just a few days later, at this September 5th meeting, supporters of Lynda were looking for something to attempt to water down that lack of endorsement because Lynda has been affiliated with the West Chester Tea Party for over a decade. And the Tea Party just didn’t become an anti-semantic group a few weeks ago.

How do I know all that? Well, because I know all the people involved and how it works. I know how phone calls are made and the favors from the media are granted. I understand that the West Chester Tea Party is an open, free-speech-oriented group and that the caricature created by an institutionalized religious group does not reflect who they are. Many tempers have flared in the background over their lack of endorsement. I’ve heard many of them myself and I just let it ride out. I can understand Lynda’s feelings being hurt, but she has brand damage that she did to herself. So getting mad at the West Chester Tea Party isn’t a rational expression of justice, but that has been the byproduct of their emphatic refusal to not endorse her. We keep hearing about how small the West Chester Tea Party is, yet so many people are concerned about what they say and when they say it as if they are rationalizing to themselves its importance in the community. But I like the Tea Party people quite a lot and know how they work, and they are as far from a hate group as you can get. But I do know they hate one thing I share with them. If hate is the correct expression, which I think it is, we all hate corruption, and this kind of story is dripping wet with just the sort of corruption that has targeted RINOs in the Republican Party, and that is the real essence of this story.

I write many articles, many of which are about religion.  Some of them, the West Chester Tea Party, has spread around their network, which is undoubtedly part of the criticism toward them by these institutionalized groups.  I’ve even specifically addressed the Jewish issue as conspiracy theorists think of it because it’s a natural part of modern politics.  I love the Jewish people and have said so many times.  Jesus was Jewish.  We wouldn’t have a Bible if not for the Jewish people.  I even recently wrote an article about why we should all participate in Jewish rituals such as eating unleavened bread.  Any criticism that was expressed falls under the general failures of institutionalism, which is a much larger issue.  And, of course, those who seek refuge in institutionalism to hide their levels of corruption are at the heart of the matter here, and the perpetrators of injustice are playing a dangerous game that is falling apart in this second decade of this new century.  The political game of controlled free speech.  To censor people based on what they say and do, as if institutionalism could control people’s thoughts through the act of peer acceptance.  This isn’t a new game; it’s an outdated one.  And the 2010s want their political games back.  Because in the increasing MAGA movement where President Trump continues to be the leader of the Republican Party, these games are exactly why there is a severe hatred of RINOs representing people in politics.  That is precisely why the West Chester Tea Party made sure to distance themselves from their long affiliation with Lynda O’Conner once they found out she was running again, because of the many mistakes she has made that they couldn’t endorse. 

We no longer live in a world where people care what the newspapers say or the television media in a city.  This idea of ruling over others with hurt feelings is what created the mess we are in presently, and what has given politics a bad name.  So, any hope that this story would destroy the West Chester Tea Party, by the established RINOs who want their party back, will only blow up in their faces.  The hope was to force anybody to crush free speech to stay within the parameters of institutionalized controls, which is expected of the West Chester Tea Party, to apologize, and condemn members with opinions.  Then, they minimize their message so that the RINO faction of the Republican Party can gain back some respect that they have lost.  Because of these games, the West Chester Tea Party is still around and a vital force that works in the background, especially for Central Committee members.  Party politics is never going back to what it used to be.  People are not happy with it.  And they certainly don’t appreciate being used by political figures to get elected, then to have those elected representatives turn away from the freedom movement, and align themselves with institutionalized politics.  And that is the merit of this entire West Chester Tea Party issue.  They have nothing to apologize for.  I think they will gain members with this news media coverage.  But more than anything, they will gain respect for their position against Lynda O’Conner and other political figures who have turned away from the Tea Party ways and hope to wipe their guilt away as Judas did after taking money to sell out Jesus.  When the responsibility doesn’t go away from the reflection in the mirror, getting rid of the mirror is all too tempting.  But the reflection comes in many forms, not just the bathroom mirror or a news media that is already a poor reflection of actuality.

Why We Should Eat Unleavened Bread: Keeping corruption out of society starting with food

It’s a good practice to have some mechanism in religion to remind you of important things, and as ridiculous as many might think, that eating leavened bread as the Jewish people have rituals against, remember one crucial thing, the descendants of the Hebrew people, of the inherited land of Israel have been around longer as a group of people on planet earth than any other groups.  They have been beaten up, killed, and spread all over the planet in displacement, but as a people, from one specific region of the world, they have remained so longer than anybody else.  So, their rituals have worked for them in many healthy ways, even if eating or not eating puffy bread is directly attributed.  In general, having some basic rules to live by from whatever religion you might happen to be is a good practice.  Not for the direct mechanisms but in that they get your mind focused on the real important things.  As it is stated often in the Bible, in consideration of many Jewish holidays, leavened bread or unleavened bread is an important ritual to invoke in their society an essential distinction between a healthy and unhealthy society.  This is certainly the case with the Jewish people and the Christian people who emerged from the kind of thinking that was quite in rebellion at the time, against the tides of the world which are playing out dramatically on the world stage today.  To surrender to the forces of nature and appeal to the sensibilities of corrupt gods and demons who plague our subconscious.  Or to rebel against those forces with deliberate laws, such as the Ten Commandments, the presentation of sexual organs, such as circumcision, and eating food at certain times of the day or year. 

Over time, in many societies, leaven came to signify corruption.  So, the feasts of unleavened bread were designed to remind people in the covenant community that they were supposed to purge sin as they celebrated redemption.  By the first century AD, the Passover and Unleavened Bread feasts were celebrated simultaneously, and their sustainability has helped the Jewish people stay organized as a community around the globe.  The actual health benefits of eating bread that has a rising agent in it or not are less the point than the psychological benefit from maintaining personal conduct with such commitments, which are obvious anywhere in the world where they are practiced.  When people from any place follow firm rules of conduct, they tend to be a much healthier society.  The question is not essential about whether God cares if we eat leavened or unleavened bread as much as we care about how we conduct ourselves and why we do what we do.  Making a purposeful decision not to do something or whether to do something has a direct connection to our success or failure as a species.  And even down to the kind of bread we eat, the proof has been observed over time that these Jewish rituals and overall, Christian views of the world have worked well against the heathen behavior of the pagan sense of sacrifice that permeates cultures that rebel against such rules and practices.  That is why we see ritual bread in religion as a little wafer, flat, and featureless consumed instead of a puffy sampling of bread.  The rising agent is supposed to represent our sense of ego.  The way to avoid corruption is to avoid applying lifting agents to the food we consume and to remind ourselves to function without such cosmetic utterances. 

Of course, it didn’t work very well in removing corruption from Jewish society; there was mass corruption from their political leaders and people in general over their long history, just as in any organization.  But the rituals at least force them to think about such things as opposed to hedonistic societies that never explore the problems that come from corruption.  A healthy culture that at least recognizes the dangerous nature of crime tends to function better than a society that ignores it, which is the entire point of unleavened bread.  Suppose there are a few times a year when an organization thinks about whether or not corruption is acceptable. In that case, it tends to impact a portion of civilization that may not fall to such temptations, and they might avoid some act of corruption when it is needed most.  And good moral conduct might save the day when other societies have no such restrictions.  Over time, the survivability of the Jewish people, no matter what anybody might think about their concept of good or life in general, can be said to have a world outlook that contributes to a prosperous society.  It may not stop evil from raiding and seeking to destroy them.  But it might keep them from killing themselves by having a way to remind their culture not to behave by embracing corruption, a lofty sense of self that can only be filled by the appeasement of others, which ultimately takes control of personal management from themselves and places it toward group consensus.  Corruption starts by seeking rising agents into your ego, a compliment from one person, or a gift from another, something that might sway you from making the best decision without inflationary considerations to alter your judgment. 

Once you can say no to unleavened bread, you can also start saying no to those who might want to bribe you or whisper sweet nothings to you to pull you away from good judgment and into self-governing, which is the key to American civilization.  In order to have self-government a person has to be able to do so, without outside forces blowing temptations that might alter the course of the individual.  The practice of not eating certain foods at certain times to keep on the top of their minds the dangers of corruption in society, in general, is an important, empowering mechanism to resist the temptations of darkness and social collapse. A community without an excellent governing philosophy will not stay a society for long, and that is certainly the mode of attack that we see being applied to America presently from lots of outside forces who want to exploit temptation for the benefit of social destruction.  Many of our current politicians, from school boards to the presidents of countries would do well to eat unleavened bread on purpose to remind themselves of the practice of avoiding corruption in their lives.  Such a position starts even with the kind of food you eat.  Once you’ve consciously made such a decision, then it becomes easier to resist that bribe from a co-worker, a donor, or a member of the media that throws enticements toward their egos to inflate them toward corruption and the appeasement of such forces at the expense of morality.  If such things could be utilized for the productive health of society in general, then we could say that things are good and value is at the core of what we do, from eating to management.  When we make purity a priority, we tend to get much better results than when such things are not recognized.  In such a fashion, any society that goes to such an extent as to eat unleavened bread to remind themselves not to fall to corruption in their lives is serious about maintaining themselves well into the future, which is where most people hope to go, but because of their personal decisions, find they too often, can’t.

The Rigged Game of the Neocon: There is no foreign policy if we don’t deal with the World Economic Forum

There is no foreign policy in America that doesn’t deal with the problem of the World Economic Forum and its terrorism worldwide as a government that doesn’t see itself as a government.  Anything that doesn’t deal with the critical problem isn’t serious about foreign policy. This ridiculous idea that America is the beacon of freedom for countries worldwide is a stupid premise by stupid people to serve their purposes ultimately.  America doesn’t need to be involved in a bunch of foreign wars, when it can’t take care of itself, which is the state of our present condition.  This has been coming up a lot lately, especially since Trump has had an America First foreign policy, which Vivek Ramaswamy has adopted in his campaign.  As opposed to Nikki Haley who wants to be involved everywhere, wherever trouble is started, anywhere in the world.  The classic idea is that America is the parent of the world and has to settle matters wherever there is trouble, and those settlements involve tanks and troops, by whatever means necessary.  We are much brighter now than we were in the past, we have grown a lot as a country after a lot of disappointments.  Globalism has not been a wise strategy, and America has been used like a cheap whore by the world for all kinds of nefarious reasons.  But we are not that pre-World War II America who runs around the world like Captain America solving problems that everyone else started, and that is the general belief of the typical neocon, as the term has incorrectly been used for several decades now.  The conservatives believe that it is the task of Americans to be the world’s police officers, while moderates believe we shouldn’t be.  And that to prove your conservative nature, you must accept this premise of all wars everywhere by anybody. 

It would be hard for anybody to claim to be more conservative than me.  But I do not accept the definition of America’s role in foreign wars.  I see a trick that has occurred where our reports for things were given to us by the enemy, the real enemies out there who hide between sentences in history books and are never really discussed, as they should be.  And that is the type of people calling themselves globalists who set up this mess.  In the modern sense, the World Economic Forum has taken over the front for global communism, the preferred economic standard for all their efforts.  It is through banking and finance in general that the greatest threat to the world resides.  It’s not in some puppet tyrant by a small country somewhere yacking on about nuclear weapons, when the real goal is to attack capitalism by taking away the power that fuels it.  It’s all been a shell game, just as nuclear energy has been criticized because it reminds people of nuclear weapons.  The manipulations in our culture come from the real terrorists who have warped our definitions of things to serve their purposes.  Such as the “neocon” terminology.  You can’t be a “real conservative” if you don’t support every foreign war that the World Economic Forum starts around the world.  It’s no different than some stupid kid in grade school telling someone else that they aren’t cool if they don’t have the latest Nike brand of tennis shoes.  But the term itself is worthless and has nothing to do with conservative values because it requires a massive big government to have a global military and support any war efforts.  We have allowed other people, especially the media culture, to define what we are as Americans, and that has been destructive; it has directed our politics essentially down the road of big government centrally managed by ultimate globalists in the World Economic Forum. 

The real threat to the world, especially America, comes through finance, where Marxist-trained professionals have already corrupted everything beyond reason.  And it is the biggest issue on the ballot of 2024, this concept of whether Americans rule themselves or will be the latest victims of globalism.  It was all established years ago by the book Tragedy and Hope and was most obvious in the Rhodes scholarship programs.  Colleges have been oozing this material for years, and the ultimate result is that most people don’t understand the meaning of anything anymore.  Pick the neocon political route in life, like Nikki Haley and Lindsey Graham, and you must expand government and spend infinite amounts of money to meet every challenge wherever they are.  Avoid that path, and you must pay unlimited cash and expand government reach to build an administrative state to keep the Deep State happy and hidden behind layers and layers of red tape that nobody ever sees.  And how could you?  When you are so busy trying to get a building permit for a garage addition, who has time to see what a menace a deep state truly is that releases bioweapons into the public to control population growth, or that some ridiculous concept of “democracy” has been long destroyed with rigged elections that the public never had control of.  While we debate whether we should send money to Ukraine to serve the interests of globalism, we hide the nasty stuff in our own country with ridiculous discussions about “trans rights” during reading hours in public schools with kids.  And that the political left wants to make murder legal, drug abuse a lifestyle choice, and pedophilia a sexually protected right.

But who blows on all these troubles worldwide and is the root cause of so much misery? Well, the World Economic Forum and their friends in finance are the most modern menaces.  They cause all the trouble that requires a big government to fix it, so no matter what you’ve been calling yourself over the years, a conservative or a liberal, the political definitions were created by the enemies of America to achieve their ultimate goal, which is to spend us into oblivion so that we’d be easy to conquer by putting us in debt to those global forces and putting a lot of foreign money into our efforts to protect our global turf.  In doing all that, they gain control of our country and our present condition.  And no issue is more important in the 2024 election than who controls what.  Do Americans control their destiny, or have we so attached ourselves to globalism and, ultimately, the constructs of the World Economic Forum that we have no national sovereignty?  We are at a point in politics where we must redefine all these previous assumptions and recognize the game for what it has been all along and to do that, we must go back to reconstruction after the Civil War.  Everything that happened after has had this globalist problem attached to it, and therefore, our foreign policy assumptions about what that meant.  But our definitions given to us were not our own; the globalists themselves created them for the goals of globalists, and any policy about foreign affairs that we are to have as a country must be directed at the World Economic Forum and its tampering of trouble around the world that always point directly at their door.  If you want to go to war, go to war with them.  Not their puppets.  And then, and only then, we’ll see who the neocons are, and who the liberals are, because the definitions of both will have to be adjusted to reflect reality truly.

The Testament of Solomon: History that is critical to our task

The Testament of Solomon is a pseudepigraphical work attributed to King Solomon, the son of David, and the purported author of several Old Testament texts. The work is believed to have been written in the late first or early second century AD, and it tells the story of how Solomon was granted the power to command demons and other supernatural beings by God.

The Testament of Solomon is a fascinating text that sheds light on the beliefs and practices of early Jewish and Christian communities. It is also an important source of information about the history of demonology and magic in the ancient world.

The text is divided into two parts. The first part describes how Solomon was approached by the demon Ornias, who offered to bring him great wealth and power in exchange for his soul. Solomon, however, was wise enough to outsmart Ornias, and he forced the demon to reveal the names of all the other demons and spirits that were under his command.

Using this knowledge, Solomon was able to command the demons and spirits to build the Temple in Jerusalem and perform other tasks for him. The second part of the text is a collection of spells and incantations that Solomon used to control these supernatural beings.

The Testament of Solomon was highly influential in the development of both Jewish and Christian demonology. Many of the demons and spirits that are mentioned in the text became part of the standard demonological taxonomy used by later Jewish and Christian writers.

In addition, the Testament of Solomon influenced the development of magic in the ancient world. The spells and incantations that are included in the text were widely copied and adapted by later writers, and they continue to be used by practitioners of magic to this day.

Overall, the Testament of Solomon is a fascinating and important text that provides insight into the beliefs and practices of ancient Jewish and Christian communities. It is a testament to the enduring power of myth and legend in human culture, and it remains a valuable resource for scholars of religion, history, and folklore.

The Common Era (CE) is a calendar era that is widely used around the world. It is also known as the Christian Era or the Current Era. The year CE is equivalent to AD (Anno Domini), which means “in the year of our Lord” in Latin. The Common Era began on January 1, 1 CE, which is the year that is believed to be the birth year of Jesus Christ.

What to Know About the Ken Paxton Impeachment Trial: The old power of party politics wants to be in charge again, but it never will

What anybody needs to know about the Ken Paxton impeachment trial in Texas is that he’s a MAGA supporter who has been very influential.  At the outset of the 2020 election, as the Attorney General of Texas Paxton established one of the best cases for election fraud proof, which upset all those RINOs who wanted a clean break with Trump.  So, the old Bush power in Texas put a target on Paxton’s back right away.  And recently, Paxton was going after Google over privacy issues.  So, this trial in Texas, where the House has already impeached him from his position and now the Senate is going through the process of hearing the evidence cast against him, is an old game by the old forces who are clinging to their power from MAGA challenges to their established order.  It reminds me of a case in my county within the Republican Party, where legal warfare is regularly employed to destroy political rivals.  The core of the dispute is to resist the apparent changes that are part of the MAGA movement and the hope that if those challenges are destroyed, everything will snap back into the controls of the old days.  Where the Bush family was in charge, alliances with big companies like Google could occur under the radar, and election fraud could be conducted in the open, and nobody would question it.  It is interesting to watch, especially as RINO Republicans have attempted to shame Paxton with references to an affair he had that was well settled before any of these current issues emerged, which are being used to attack his character.  People see through it that it’s essentially the same type of case thrown at President Trump, and the results will be the same.

The Ken Paxton trial in Texas is an ongoing legal battle that has captured the attention of many across the United States. The problem centers around allegations of securities fraud against the Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton. The case has been controversial, with many questioning the motives behind the investigation and subsequent charges. At the heart of the matter is the accusation that Ken Paxton committed securities fraud by encouraging investors to buy stock in a technology company without disclosing that he was receiving compensation for the recommendation. The case has been mired in legal battles and delays, with Paxton’s lawyers arguing that the charges should be dismissed due to a lack of evidence. As it is going, the case against Paxton has been weak at best, with the best parts of it involving going to the FBI with no evidence, just accusations. And if there were any merit to the case, the Biden DOJ would have picked it up because they want to take down Paxton for his election case against the federal handling of the 2020 election. But there was nothing there, leaving the entire issue to the flimsy holdovers of the Bush legacy control over Texas. So everything is coming out petty instead of having any good legal standing. As bad as it all is to attempt to impeach an attorney general by his party, over essentially, nothing but to get rid of a member of MAGA in the power politics of Texas, the attempt says far more than any of the evidence does that has been established against Paxton. We have uncovered a monster that we always knew was there but has emerged in the wake of Trump in the White House and the distinct fear that he will return, with people like Paxton gaining power.

I see these fights all over the country, and they are happening in just about every county.  As I have said about my county of Butler County, this is the number one issue challenging everyone.  Many supported Trump during his first term because he was in power then, but they held their nose and couldn’t wait for him to be removed from office, which they cheered for when they thought nobody was looking.  In the wake of one of the most massive crimes in world history, which was the stolen election of 2020, and the Covid release of a bioweapon against the public to allow for cheating to occur, no matter who was harmed in the process, you could see clearly where people were politically.  Many put on masks and surrendered everything to the health administrators, hoping that a superior power, more significant than Trump, would knock him out of office.  These are the same people who, just months before, would gut their mothers for a chance to get a VIP pass to a Trump event and stand next to him for a picture.  I watched all this action with curiosity.  And over the last three years, it has been obvious what they were up to all along: they wanted to go back to the regional powers, such as what the Bush family has over Texas.  And there is always some family like that all over the nation, and they were pleased to snap back into that control in the wake of Trump.  They wanted their power back, so anybody expressing Trump-like opinions now that Biden was in the White House were a target, and everyone expected Trump to be gone forever, in favor of some controlled asset like Ron DeSantis, they bet everything on that future.  And that isn’t what’s happening.

I tried to explain this to many people at our Lincoln Day dinner in Butler County, Ohio, after Ron DeSantis had just come and spoken to everyone.  Many were hoping that DeSantis was going to be the Trump killer.  I told them that Ron was going nowhere, which is precisely what has happened.  I found it surprising that nobody wanted to talk about Trump.  And those who did, and we saw this same kind of radicalism on the Lakota school board, where the former Trump supporters were quick to adjust to this new Biden world as if the former Republican president had never happened.  It was as if some great eraser would come along and put all the people who wanted power back in charge forever.  It was a bizarre exchange.  On that school board, the Lynda O’Conner’s of the world wanted to destroy the Darbi Boddys over essential political philosophy, establishment against MAGA.  And now there is panic in those groups because they have bet everything on the old forces destroying these new rivals.  All the political hits have not beaten their enemies; it has only made them stronger, just like what is happening with Trump.  And, of course, what is happening to Ken Paxton.  The frustration is that Paxton will emerge from this impeachment process with more political power, which is the case with all these traditional attacks.  The old games no longer work; people don’t like the kind of society that we have had with them in charge, such as the Bush family or the DeWine clan in Ohio.  People want better political parties to represent them, not those who make deals with Google to ruin our country, destroy our Constitution, and tell us that we’ll all be better after the compromises.  That them selling us out to foreign interests was to our advantage somehow.  But many have realized that the political parties, especially RINO Republicans, have not been good for us, and we want real change.  And we’re not going to accept sell-outs.  We’ve given them a chance in the past, and we are now forever against their further attempts.  And that they can get rid of Trump, Ken Paxton, or even regionally, Darbi Boddy or Roger Reynolds, and people will still be upset with the lackluster RINOs.  They will never regain their old power, and in the future, they will only be more and more resented.  That is the future of politics; we want more like Ken Paxton and fewer Jeb Bushes.  We want people who represent us, not some ruling-class aristocracy.  And those needs will only increase in the future; we will never go back to the old days that caused all these problems in the first place.

The Need for Speed in American Management: Fast Draw is the perfect sport to understand the benefits of capitalism

I had a good shooting season this year, as is usually the case.  Over the Labor Day weekend, there was one that I look forward to each year specifically.  I go all over the region to attend these gun-fighting competitions and meet many different people to satisfy my obsession with speed, which has been with me for a lifetime.  Cowboy Fast Draw is a unique sport that is very popular, and it should get a lot more news coverage.  But since it’s guns and a deliberate reverence toward a specifically American lifestyle, many woke media won’t touch it in even casual ways.  But not doing so is very disingenuous to American culture, which is the point of social rejection.  It would be like avoiding discussing knighthood in Europe or the samurai in Japan.  Gunfighting in America is one of those core elements that almost everyone can relate to, but the forces hostile to our country want desperately to remove it from people’s minds.  So we have these competitions all over the United States that are very well attended and increasing in popularity, yet many people don’t even know about them.  The shooting season occurs mainly during the warm months, from April to around October.  For me, the one over Labor Day in Darke County, Ohio, is usually the last, so it has a special meaning.  There are a few more in October and November, but I’m often too busy to get to them.  My reason for getting to as many as possible is that they are very positive experiences.  I think about many things that don’t make much sense in everyday life, but all the pieces come together nicely at Fast Draw events.  In the Labor Day of 2023 competition, I received a very hard-won award with significant meaning, and you can read the faces.  A lot is going on with these kinds of things. 

I see Fast Draw as a lot like golf; you get together with friends and see how low your score can be over some time. Gunfights usually last all day, so it’s not a one-and-done endeavor. It requires long, sustained skill that is repeatable. But unlike golf, this is a timed sport. You are forced to react as quickly as possible to the target, making this kind of competition very unusual and American. I like many things, including golf, but there are many things extraordinary about Fast Draw that I find very beneficial personally. Particularly when it comes to metaphors for speed, in regular life, where people don’t show up for gunfights with their guns on their hips and all the special equipment you get to mess around with to play the sport, there are lots of excuses for why things don’t happen or can’t. I find the typical labor position that has come out of the Department of Labor in government particularly repulsive, and since COVID was introduced to liberals, and they have used the potential for sickness not to do any work, my frustrations with the world have only increased dramatically. I do not look for excuses for anything. I think production is beautiful, but most of the world is looking for reasons, and the more liberalism in a culture, the more excuses that culture has for things that they think cannot be done. The attitude is, “If you want to do something right, you should take your time,” assumes that the faster you go at something, the worse the quality of the endeavor. In that way, the labor market that has evolved with lots of Marxism has sought to do less work and do it slower, rather than the classic American approach, which is faster and more accurate.

The reason that gunfighters in classic American Westerns were so obsessed with being faster than the other fighter is the proper metaphor for American culture, where the expectations for everything was tight. Capitalism evolved in America under the premise of speed. And, of course, the speed wasn’t of much value if accuracy wasn’t a part of the story. Of all the sports out there, Fast Draw is the fastest sport. It has elements of many popular sports, mainly drag racing. But there is nothing faster than Fast Draw, where the main objective is drawing a gun and hitting a target with a wax bullet in under half a second. And what I learn from watching different shooters from different places around the country is fascinating. And very refreshing. In the business world, slowness has been embraced because of all the socialist, communist, and under-all philosophies of Marxism running in the background, dripping wet in the compliance culture. Those who make the rules that human resource departments must follow load assumptions against the speed that a company can operate, and too often, people unthinkingly follow without pushing back against the essential premise. And it can be very frustrating to deal with, especially if you think about it, which most people avoid. In golf, you can take your time with the game and are often rewarded for going slower, so many people in business assume that slower is better and that success means making that adjustment. But from the perspective of my favorite sport, Fast Draw faster is better, and the management of speed and accuracy measures success and failure.

There are a lot of essential lessons in Fast Draw that should be directly applied to the business world, which is why I wrote a book on the subject, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business.  You must remove as much nonsense from the process to get the speed you need in the sport.  The more motion, the more steps, and the more variables there are, the slower your time will be.  And under pressure, you still must be able to hit the target.  You don’t have time to be casual.  Most of the winning times in the sport are around a quarter of a second to a half a second.  So, the pressure to achieve speed will expose anything unnecessary.  And that’s how it should be in business, whether it’s a drive-through window at a fast-food restaurant or selling a new car to a customer.  You might have noticed that since COVID-19 and the Biden administration has been in the White House, things have slowed down significantly in America.  The business world expects to go slower and blame the supply chain upstream for failure.  This is a very un-American concept, one of the biggest problems of the modern age.  And it’s very different in 2023 than in 2019 before Covid came along.  Yet, without measuring things with speed and accuracy, people might not notice that the value system was slow and, ultimately, communism with low-performance expectations.  The more Fast Draw events I go to, the more hope I have for the world because I can see people who know how vital speed is to modern culture.  Not just dressing up in gunfighter garments and paying reverence to the Old West.  I appreciate the shooters I meet and their “need for speed,” which is specifically American.  And it certainly gives me hope for the future when I see how hungry people are to win at Fast Draw.  Because if they can figure out that balance in that sport, they may do well in real life in ways that capitalism best reflects.

The World Economic Forum Stepped Over the Line: Trust is hard to win and easy to lose, and they have lost it

Something significant is happening that is very obvious, but little has been made of it; people are generally waking up to the malicious intentions of Bill Gates and his friends in the World Economic Forum.  People are now looking for the sideshow games where crimes against humanity have been committed, and Klaus Schwab and the economic Marxist terrorists of the world are not prepared for the wrath that is coming their way, which was most evident in the wake of the Maui wildfires.  Well, at this point, we should call it the Maui arson that destroyed a town that had been discussed as a satellite city for the World Economic Forum’s 15-minute cities.  The best way to build one is to destroy the old one, which looks to be the case here.  A few years ago, nobody would have asked any questions.  Conspiracy theorists would have voiced their opinions, but the mainstream media would have poured cold water on them, and the public would have accepted the controlled narrative.  But not any longer, not since Covid ruined the trust of public officials, and now three years of Biden have shocked people into observing the obvious.  The World Economic Forum has gone too far, and the shock to the world has been a degraded impression.  I noticed something similar when Microsoft, run by Bill Gates, released Windows 95, which was not as well received as Windows 3.1.  And ever since, Microsoft has been further scrutinized to the point it is today.  A necessary evil that people generally don’t trust.  Just as they no longer trust Bill Gates.  That is the case with everyone connected to the World Economic Forum.  People are onto the games and now see them being played everywhere, not conspiratorial, but in the logical way the bad guys have always tried to hide from the public. 

I said that the truth about the Maui fires would emerge in the aftermath as we watched what people did.  As it turns out, the power company had been trying to maintain its infrastructure, but the emphasis was on woke policies for renewables, straight from the World Economic Forum’s radical agenda.  And the power company had turned off the power hours before the fire started, so how could a spark from them set off the blaze?  There are a lot of unanswered questions that only point to terrorist activity, not a natural occurrence or an accident from the power company due to infrastructure failure.  I have seen that same radicalism in my state of Ohio regarding FirstEnergy.  On the one hand, they have adopted all these woke rules to appease the climate terrorists, making them the target of a hostile public upset at the changes.  But then the climate terrorists are trying to set up the power companies for complete failure and are looking to drive them out of business.  It’s the classic gun-to-the-head robber who forces someone they are holding up to do what they are told, only to be shot dead after they’ve handed over all their money.  These climate terrorists doing their deeds for the World Economic Forum behind the efforts of the United Nations are playing for keeps, which looks to be the kind of set-up job in Maui.  But the public is aware of the game, and they instantly rejected the official narratives for the fire and went straight for the developers who have promised to rebuild as a “city of tomorrow” as the instigators of so much death and destruction.  If it can happen in Maui, then it could happen everywhere. 

The bad guys in the world have been doing these things for a long time, destroying the planet and rebuilding it in their version of “Build Back Better.”  That kind of terminology was already being stamped on liberal t-shirts before there was a Joe Biden in the White House, but after Covid was a major overstep by Bill Gates and the gang, they didn’t seem to realize that it was a step too far.  And now people have lost trust in the officials that the World Economic Forum has worked so hard to capture.  But now that they have the power, they have lost the public’s faith and don’t seem to understand why.  Their entire plan, just like every version of Windows ever released that was supposed to be better than the first, has consistently failed in some way because they could never quite get it right.  Power is hard; it’s easy to make a misstep, and that is what we are dealing with now.  Climate terrorists were just caught starting fires in Greece to attempt to evoke an environmental message, and now that fires are breaking out all over the world frequently, it’s not a natural occurrence that people expect.  The first thought is climate terrorism by these radical Marxists inspired by the members of the World Economic Forum who plan to profit off the carnage and then build what they want.  There’s one sure way to overcome the kind of city opposition that building a 15-minute city would typically involve.  Just burn it down and kill all the people who would oppose it.  Then blame the power company you are also trying to put out of business because they use fossil fuels in capitalist markets.  That game has been going on for too long, and many people have suffered.

The public outrage is very energetic on social media.  How much of it gets outside the algorithms tightly controlled by the Deep State is an issue for debate.  Typically, discussions against the administrators of the Deep State and the members of the World Economic Forum who have a lot of money that they think buys their governments don’t get outside of the circular firing squad of specific groups that are easily monitored by the powerful forces who think they are in charge.  But the word is getting out anyway, and ordinary people now see the obvious.  They are asking the right questions that are no longer conspiracies but honest observations that have lingered in the background.  People might have been shy about expressing those opinions, but now they are open.  And regarding the Maui fires, there is actual hostility that is well-founded.  People don’t like to be suckered, and they feel suckered.  Bill Gates has shown the same kind of stupidity with his climate change activism that he did with Windows releases.  Everything worked for him as long as he had a monopoly on opinion.  But once people could think for themselves, which started happening with Windows 95, the value of their Microsoft products began to diminish.  People would put up with it to get along, but they weren’t suddenly yearning for the product.  And that same thing has happened to the losers in the World Economic Forum.  They thought people would want what they were selling: globalism, climate change, a godless, overly sexualized heathen society of sweaty losers looking to them as gods.  But, what they have been caught doing was acting as the latest terrorists, no different from the old hippie Weather Underground radicals.  Instead of operating out of the back of a pot-filled, rusting van playing Beatles eight-track tapes, they are billionaires like Bill Gates who have lost their minds, if they ever really had them.
