It’s Not About Unity in the Community or the Power of a Vocal Minority: But entirely a standard of right and wrong

This will be a nice yard sign for Trump supporters who can’t wait for next year to vote for, or against some anti-American political enemy.

Because I, like many people involved, I must at least provide fair warning. Enjoying people is one thing; agreeing with them is an entirely different matter. This was grotesquely obvious while driving by Lakota West in West Chester, Ohio, on August 8th, 2023, where the special election was a significant focus. As far as the eye could see from the road were Vote No signs, a blatant reminder that the progressive government school there is a factory of liberal politics intent to convert confiscated wealth from property owners and to turn it into Democrat activism. And many Republican-leaning people have been suckered into the game, even to support it against conservative, traditional values. Even on issues like Issue 1, which would have made it more difficult to change the Ohio Constitution, Lakota schools are aggressive in favor of change. That’s the purpose of their existence, to change our traditional American culture into some monstrosity of liberalism. And that election day was just a reminder of that sentiment and the genuine catastrophe of the upcoming fall election in November. Lynda O’Conner is up for re-election, and many people close to the matter have been hoping that she wouldn’t run because the opposition against her is on a crusade that has not been seen at Lakota in all the years of its existence. Before things get too messy here, I would call to mind a few monumental memories of the past, such as when the Tea Party had to take a stand against John Kasich after he turned into a progressive after his loss with the state labor unions. They turned him into a progressive pretzel, and many of us worked hard to destroy him because we had to. In a few short years, you don’t see him around anymore. And many of the people who are now pushing for Lynda O’Conner to be re-elected this fall, after all that’s happened, went after Speaker of the House John Boehner and essentially knocked him out of the Republican Party because he was too much of a RINO.

The plan is for these to be everywhere

It’s an old game; we all get it. Friendships are made with people who are politically dangerous so that they can be controlled and perhaps worked against their original positions. And that certainly has been the case with the Butler County Republican Party. It’s always tempting to be invited to the cool kids’ table just so they can control you, not because they really like you. I just spoke about an excellent event with Nancy Nix where some of us have had some cantankerous hostilities toward each other. But at that event, we put a lot of that aside and had a nice evening together and enjoyed the comedians who were performing. It was a nice story. But all that is about to go sideways with Lynda O’Conner, which is fine. But the belief that friendships and private meetings would turn the resistance against her into captured assets of compliance with party sentiments was ill-advised and has only stirred up the hornet’s nest. The people involved with this next generation’s fight against the progressive objectives of Lakota schools will not be enamored with the shiny keys of friendship and gaining a seat at the table with the cool kids of power. The people I know standing against Lynda O’Conner for this upcoming election have a moral problem with her. It goes far beyond even calling her a RINO. They are not interested in Unity for the Community or coming together as a Republican party; this is all about right and wrong and standing up to the intrusions of a progressive political machine that works against conservative values in every way possible. And the passion is much greater than in those days of Governor Kasich and John Boehner. Many of the people involved in those old battles are now part of the cool kid’s club, and they like it, and they are supporting Lynda for the upcoming election and have been whispering in her ear and thinking that little secret meetings and emails of consensus building might work as it had on them in the past. I heard about some of these attempts while driving by Lakota West on that August election day, and I feel compelled to warn everyone that this is different, and there will be severe brand damage in the aftermath. This is unlike anything yet experienced in politics, which says a lot. And I don’t think many people understand.

There is a really graphic version of this one that will be used later

The advice that I have been giving to people is that this is a throw-away election. If a new school board will not work with a three to two majority to eliminate excessive administrators to save runaway cost losses at the government schools, then what’s the point of any of it? Cutting 20 or 30 equity and inclusion administrative hires could save many millions of dollars, which Lakota needs to do. But there are a lot of soft-shelled tacos out there, some in the GOP who would be running as Democrats if it wasn’t Butler County who want to feel good about themselves by supporting a big government school. The trans issue has been a challenge forcing people’s real politics to emerge along those lines. I would say that because of the way everyone has treated Darbi Boddy as a school board member to let them choke on it. Let the rope go and let Lakota destroy itself; let the liberals have their way. Let them do what Biden has done to the country because then and only then will people wake up. The campaign to fight them will become more apparent when people see what they are about and can’t focus their union efforts of progressivism against someone like Darbi. And for the soft-shelled types who want to support Lakota under Lynda’s leadership, the tax levy they have in mind will change their sentiments quickly. And we’ll be back to fighting tax increases instead of legitimately trying to control the costs.

The people I have been talking to who are thinking of running and don’t think they have much of a chance, I have told them the same thing I’ve said to Lynda in the past. The union threshold is around 7000 voters. That is a baked-in number. If you want to beat them, you must get over 8000 voters, however possible. Lynda hopes to blend that a bit with GOP support, and enough RINO types are willing to cross that line because they don’t want more of a fight than what we have seen so far with Darbi on the board. Yet Lynda’s role against Darbi has woken up something new in the Lakota school district that goes far beyond typical political disagreements. Something that traditional politics has no way of dealing with. This is a battle over ethics and the essence of right and wrong, and the way Lynda handled the superintendent issue and the protection of children at Lakota is a deeply emotional issue that there is no compromise on. This isn’t like the days when the Tea Party wanted John Boehner out, and a more Tea Party type like Warren Davidson was put in, and everyone shook hands and ate a sandwich together. This is more of a civil war, casualties included. Many Lyin’ Lynda types have been waiting for this opportunity, and it’s only fair to warn everyone involved. Because I generally like everyone involved. But right and wrong are not negotiable. That’s certainly always been my position. If people wanted to be friends, okay, I’ve been willing. But I’ve never been willing to compromise right and wrong as determined by conservative, Republican politics. I’ve never been some dope-smoking libertarian. I’ve always been a traditional Republican party supporter. However, some of this new generation are perfectly willing to abandon any pretense of friendship to defend traditional, conservative values. And they are far more interested in doing what is suitable than compromising with what’s wrong to have unity in the community and an intact Republican party. And I provide that warning with sincerity for the good things in the past that have been done and the good memory of them.

These are the kind of teachers Lynda, Julie and Doug want teaching your kids at Lakota. Here is a recently hired teacher at Endeavor Elementary

The Joke Joe Biden Is: America’s enemies are laughing at us

What did anybody expect? I’ve been talking about the corruption of Joe Biden since he was vice president.  Even longer than that, the Democrats have run their party like a mob, and this Biden term is the culmination of all those years of taking advantage of good, regular people.  So nobody should be surprised by what we are learning about Joe Biden now.  His family has been getting rich off selling access to the many political offices he has held over the years.  And now, all the bad guys are cheering him on because every day he is in office is another day that the bar is lowered for future expectations.  And if you hate America, which most of the world does, because of the freedoms we expect to have, you love Joe Biden because he makes a fool of our country by holding an important position.  But the various news outlets seem perplexed with Joe Biden, with the level of corruption that is coming unraveled.  Well, news flash, Joe Biden is not the only one.  He is normal for members of the House and Senate.  Joe Biden has been doing what most of them do, revealed for years in Peter Schweizer’s books, such as one of his most recent, Red Handed.  In Biden’s case, as in Mitch McConnell’s, selling their offices has been easy money.  It has been a problem for a long time, and now people are learning what the rest of us have always known, and the difficulty is figuring out what to do about it.  Because there is so much to do something about.  When we talk about the government being filled with criminals, we aren’t making inflammatory statements but truthful ones rooted in a real challenge.

From the perspective of a criminal, Joe Biden is a perfect president because his very existence is undoing our society of law and order.  For the communists worldwide who want to see the American Constitution and Bill of Rights eradicated, which is undoubtedly an objective of the United Nations, Joe Biden makes a mockery of America in ways they have always fantasized about.  And what’s sad about it is that Biden was put in place with election fraud and an apparent exertion of power to show us that we were not in control of our elections or political system.  Biden was the biggest fool they could have given to us too, and they laugh about it each time Biden falls down the stairs and gets caught eating ice cream looking like some oblivious old man who can’t find his car.  Or he stumbles through a speech where nobody can hear him.  Their statement is essentially a dunce cap, “This is the leader of the free world?  Consider yourselves conquered.”  I knew in the 90s, and I used to write about it back then, that when Bill Clinton lowered the bar to what we expect from a president, a door was being opened for the destruction of America.  It started with “I didn’t inhale, and I did not have sex with that woman” to the Biden crime family openly selling the office of the presidency to China, which is a proven fact at this point, three years into his first term.  It was obvious where all this was headed, so it’s unsurprising.  Even though many of the Beltway types who want to think the gravy train will go on forever seem surprised.  All this was bound to happen once we let our guard down with Clinton. 

I always held it against Ronald Reagan that he frequently had raunchy jokes behind the scenes that I thought were inappropriate for anybody in the Executive Office, and he disappointed me.  So all this we are seeing now is unfathomable.  But the good news is that we don’t have leaders in America.  Just because Joe Biden was put into office doesn’t mean that all of America will follow him into oblivion.  And that is something the rest of the world hasn’t figured out about us.  We are not defined by “leaders” in America.  Just because Joe Biden is an apparent criminal sell-out, America doesn’t rally behind him, just as America hasn’t rallied behind the loser Women’s Soccer Team.  Americans like winners, and Joe Biden is not one.  So people are not supportive of Joe Biden.  In America, we like winners; they have to earn the right to represent us through merit.  That is the key to our culture; you must have respect in America.  You are not given consideration just because of a title.  So when hostile forces gave Joe Biden the presidency to America, he didn’t just win over 300 million people’s support.  That is how things work in China, Russia, Venezuela, Cuba, and other communist, socialist, and totalitarian countries worldwide.  But not in America.  People must earn the right to represent Americans.  We don’t have leaders, and if that leader is corrupted and made a fool of, Americans will quickly divorce themselves from that person.  Which then leaves them oddly displaced.  The general view of Washington D.C. is not supportive, and that’s how most Americans feel about their politicians.  But it doesn’t mean to them that their country is a disaster either.  Americans do not connect their success with the success of their politicians. 

That is good because the head of America is not so easily cut off.  But it also allows people like Biden and many other politicians to get away with massive crimes because people would rather not pay attention to their actions.  The political system in America is so little respected that people generally tune them out, which is precisely why we have the mess we do have.  The enemies of America are happy with this result. It prevents good management of the country’s resources because people aren’t paying attention.  So, the worse news about Joe Biden, the more Americans tune out politics and allow the criminals to loot openly off the system.  Even though America can live well without its political class, it still makes a condition where massive crimes can be committed because nobody wants to consider them.  In such a climate, it is no wonder we have criminals in many of these elected positions.  The mob doesn’t have to operate in the darkness anymore.  There is far more easy money and crime to enjoy in politics.  While most people are disgusted by the process, as they turn away from the management of their country, it leaves the eyes off the real crimes that occur with increasing frequency, climaxing with Joe Biden and his fellow government conspirators.  And because people aren’t paying close attention, it makes them vulnerable to the many lies told to the American people to keep them asleep.  The result is what we see in American politics, a joke of a system filled with a criminal class that has made us look bad on the world stage, much to the delight of our enemies.  And you better believe it; we have enemies, lots of them.  And Joe Biden is their kind of guy.  Then as long as we put up with these criminals in government, we are sure to get more of them and have the problems that we do, because they know that the public isn’t watching them.

Larry Fink: The President of the World and power of the new country, BlackRock–as created by the Fed

Here’s the problem with the Federal Reserve, and it goes back to 1913, when after many attempts at centralized banking, the Fed was created to handle monetary policy.  And it hasn’t been an experiment that worked, it simply ushered in a communist approach to banking that was aligned with a progressive invasion of the United States at the turn of the last century, and essentially the policy of the Fed has been to cover up its many mistakes over that entire duration.  I am not so much of an anti-Fed guy.  I think a country needs to manage its money supply.  But letting the banks form a partnership with the government has been disastrous, and the ultimate form of that destruction was in the creation of Larry Fink, the most dangerous man in the world.  Larry Fink would be nobody if not for the Fed.  Jerome Powell, Janet Yellen, and Ben Bernanke used reckless quantitative easing to print endless amounts of money and pour it into Wall Street, where people like Fink would flow it into the economy.  And the net result of that scandalous activity has made BlackRock, the company Larry Fink manages that controls around a ten trillion dollars of assets, the most politically active company in the world, and Larry Fink is far more powerful than an American president, even to the point where this unregulated power can then control elections and policy that superseded the American constitution in dangerous ways.  By printing phony money and giving it to people like Fink to manage, the Fed gave the government power it never would have had otherwise, and now the results are out of control.  Most of the bad things we are seeing now in the political world are because of Larry Fink, his connection to the World Economic Forum, and a leftist radicalism that is being imposed on people that they would never vote for. 

People are starting to get it when these are the discussions on the Joe Rogan podcast, which discussed this topic recently.  People are now seeing how out of control this Larry Fink thing is.  Larry Fink, because of BlackRock and the way the Fed made it powerful with Modern Monetary Theory, and that it now manages the money in China, as the only money manager that can do so, is essentially the president of the world, ruling behind the scenes and imposing politics that is far removed from any representative form of government.  This was a hostile takeover using Larry Fink as the figurehead to do what people like Napolean, or Genghis Kahn, the legendary figure in history, known for his conquests and his role in founding the Mongol Empire. He was a skilled warrior and a brilliant strategist, and his military campaigns changed the course of history. Despite his reputation as a ruthless conqueror, Genghis Kahn is still remembered as one of the most influential figures in world history. Alexander the Great similarly comes to mind.  Larry Fink is right there with the rest of them. Still, he was not a warrior; he was a person willing to carry the water of the shadow government running behind the Fed. This corporate alliance sought to take power in the world, and they made their move by propping up Larry to be that new world conqueror.    

And you conquer this new world by not taking over countries.  You ignore the politics of nations, take away the people’s will, and take control of where they work, how they spend their money, and on what.  Larry wanted to be in politics during college and just happened to be in a position to acquire wealth through Wall Street.  He only had success once he was willing to partner with the Fed after the housing collapse of 2008.  But what risk was there really when the Fed was ready to print infinite amounts of wealth and pump it into Wall Street through Larry and his friends?  The writing is certainly on the wall with this one, much more dramatic than in Nebuchadnezzar’s time, the attackers planned the downfall of America, and the plan was to cover it all up before people realized it with Central Bank Digital Currency.  It was a different kind of war which Fink has been talking about in his letters to CEOs, such as the one in 2022, “In consultation with our stakeholders, BlackRock has also joined the global effort to isolate Russia from financial markets, the ramifications of this war are not limited to Eastern Europe, they are layered on top of a pandemic that has already had profound effects on political, economic, and social trends.  The impact will reverberate for decades to come in ways we can’t yet predict.”  Then ultimately, Fink finished up his address by saying, “As I wrote in my letter to CEOs earlier this year, (2022) access to capital markets is a privilege, not a right.  And following Russia’s invasion, we saw how the private sector quickly terminated long-standing business and investment relationships” to implement political objectives.  I’ve read all of Larry’s dumb letters to CEOs each year and always thought of him as a fool.  But he’s a very politically active fool who was given the power of money through fake monetary Fed policy to take global military power through the private sector to bypass the actions of war generally regulated to countries to play out. 

That is why Larry Fink, the very left-leaning political activist that nobody voted for, is directly connected to the radical Marxist activism of the World Economic Forum and was given the power by the Fed, which is also connected to the World Economic Forum, and strategies by China for global communism is the most dangerous person in the world.  He now manages most of our 401K plans and conquers us by capturing wealth, part of his leftist ideology, whether we like it or not.  And now that BlackRock is the majority shareholder of most American corporations, he has taken away the average shareholder values and converted them to ESG-driven stakeholder values.  And at some point, people will be furious at Larry Fink and the Fed.  But they hope that before people figure out what they have been doing, America will be on a digital dollar, and they can hide their scam behind the push of a button where a centralized authority will control all value for all money.  So while the world looks at the conflict in Ukraine, the potential conflict in Taiwan by China, or the latest missile flight in North Korea, the real fight has been by BlackRock, led by Larry Fink, to take over the world’s supply of money, and to place it in the hands of the real threat in the world, the World Economic Forum.  And because we are all a little complicit in the action because of our money management, we tend not to look at it in favor of a more classic interpretation of war.  But those wars no longer matter.  The real fight is with finance, who controls it.  Larry Fink is now more powerful than any president in the world, and he knows it.  But he didn’t get that way from well-fought battles as a master strategist.  But because he was willing to be the bag man for the Fed, which is a power they never should have had in the first place.

It’s a Wonderful Life in Butler County, Ohio: Because Nancy Nix is in it

I don’t usually talk about the social life that goes on at fundraisers for the GOP, but there were so many interesting stories at the latest Nancy Nix event at the Elks Club in Hamilton, Ohio, in Liberty Township. But there was a moment of absolute truth that was worth recognition. At this event, some hilarious comedians told great jokes that made the audience laugh hard. But hidden in those exchanges was talk about the movie It’s a Wonderful Life that was applied to the life of Nancy Nix and was very accurate. Like all comedy, the truest things are often the funniest because of their roots in the things many people hope to remain secret. But in talking about them in a comic setting, the mass exposure to truth sets off the relief valve, and people bond due to the shared experience. And ironically, then, while people are sharing those unique moments of honesty, it opens the door to profound truths, and that was the comparison of Nancy Nix to the character from that excellent Christmas movie to George Baily, the honest banker from the fictional town of Bedford Falls. Nancy is now the auditor for Butler County, Ohio, as she has been the treasurer for many years. And the people in the room at her fundraiser were all influencers to a vast degree, and it was a moment where your life flashes in front of everyone, and a potent truth becomes apparent, what would the world be like without you and in the case of Nancy, how much better is Butler County, Ohio because she is in it. And the answer is cinematically evident in the ways that happy endings to movies are most hoped for. Only this was reality.

Things have been contentious in the Butler County Republican Party this past year. You can tell that without a Republican in the White House to set the temperature in the room of politics; people have drifted. When Trump was president, more Republicans were unified toward an America First agenda than they have been in the year of indictments, now that Covid has been over and another election year was coming up. Biden has been a massive but predictable failure, and Republicans, through federal, state, and local elections, were finding themselves lost a bit, and there have been some significant disagreements. There was nothing so wrong that they couldn’t shake hands at the next event, such as the Nancy Nix fundraiser. But some of them were very serious and contentious within local party politics. And in some cases, there were very emotional disagreements, politics as a blood sport was messy, and people were hurt in the process, which brings up the entire problem of whether or not people should even get along if they’ve done terrible things to each other. Is it even honest, moral, or proper to think such things? In many ways, the problems that George Baily had at the end of It’s a Wonderful Life, the entire premise of the movie was that he wanted to commit suicide because he was being crushed by the immense evil in the world, and his good sensibilities just couldn’t hold up to the pressure. For a dramatic comedy, that is a severe way to start or end the movie. And those same themes were undoubtedly in the air at Nancy’s fundraiser. What was the purpose of party politics if so many people disagreed with each other within their party? Was it more important to be authentic to your beliefs or to find a way to get along?

Ironically, the solution to George Baily’s condition was to see how the world would be without him, to be shown how much his impact on his community was better because he was in it.  And if he had committed suicide, so many lives would fall apart, and much evil would be unleashed.  But authentically, that was what happened at the fundraiser for Nancy Nix; through the comedy of some very talented people, the life of Nancy Nix was put into a sharp focus by how the room had united behind her, and people put aside their differences, if just for a few hours because she is a genuinely good person who makes Butler County so much better. After all, she is in it.  And the comedy of the evening was essentially a celebration of her life, even if moment to moment it doesn’t feel like it, or it doesn’t seem as though anybody ever cares to do the right thing.  When someone like Nancy Nix is being celebrated, it all comes into focus, and the best in people finds its way to the surface.  And the world is indeed a much better place.  It is a wonderful life, and when many talented people find focus through friendships, it makes life better for everyone else, especially Butler County. 

I enjoyed talking to some people I hadn’t seen in a while, primarily because of all the contentious issues.  I stay pretty busy anyway, and my wife and I have been traveling for most of the summer.  So it was good to see so many people again in one place and to see them generally happy and unified.  That is what politics is all about, managing community resources and nothing more.  All the personal needs don’t mean anything because the entire effort is about ensuring people get what they need out of government.  It gets complicated because politics is a popularity contest, and you have to raise money, work with other people, and find a way to work with others who are all doing the same things.  Maintaining authenticity can be difficult under the best circumstances, so I’m pretty forgiving of mistakes because there is often so much pressure, and things go wrong.  But often, good intent does improve the world positively for people in general.  And I couldn’t think of anybody in that room, which is most of the major players of Butler County, who weren’t doing what they did with the best of intent, from their perspective.  When we talk about the path to Hell being paved with good intentions, that is often how everyone arrives there.  But what prevents hell from happening is when those good intentions are focused behind the efforts of a genuinely good person, such as Nancy Nix.  And she is the real deal.  Whatever preferences other people have, like in the famous Jimmy Stewart movie, their efforts are made better when a good person is the glue that holds them all together.  And that is the role Nancy Nix has in Butler County politics.  It’s why Butler County is one of the best Republican Parties in the nation and continues to do great work for the people who vote.  Butler County has many talents, which is always apparent when they find themselves in one place together.  The difference in leadership is when it becomes evident that Nancy Nix, like the fictional character of George Baily, is not such a fantasy but a reality in Butler County after all.  And sometimes, we do get happy endings, and everyone is better for it, which was evident at the Nancy Nix fundraiser.  We have much to be proud of regarding the Butler County Republican Party and that life is worth living, rather than jumping off a bridge because it doesn’t always feel that way.

Why Does Blackstone Want to Buy All Our Homes: Yet another scam from the World Economic Forum to bring Communism to America

You see, back in the good old days, if a corporation or person wanted to conduct a hostile takeover, they would have to be very successful in life, save their money, and use years of winnings to buy out their rivals to acquire power and position.  Heck, even when it comes to the game Monopoly, you’d have to work hard during the game to buy up more property before your rivals and get hotels on them as quickly as possible.  And that was the path to winning the game.  But these days, such as with Blackstone, who has been buying up personal homes for nefarious reasons, Monopoly is given to them, complete with all the houses and hotels.  All they must do is play a few rounds and they win.  This is because of the alliance with a government that corporate partnerships have these days where the Fed prints a bunch of fake money and dumps it into Wall Street where companies like Blackstone, which is strategically aligned with the World Economic Forum, start the game about to win because they were given all the money, they’d need to perform the task.  That is the game going on now in real estate, where the World Economic Forum’s desire to convert property ownership into renters is underway at a pace that people should find alarming.  Blackstone is different from BlackRock.  Why do you think all these crazy World Economic Forum companies have “black” in their name?  Aren’t they interested in other things?  I believe that the reason is that it all eventually ties back to the Kaaba Stone in Mecca and that for them, they are still fighting the Crusades, the classic struggle between the East and the Christianized West; at least, that is what many of the occult lovers from Europe believe, and the World Economic Forum types operate in that region and are undoubtedly hell-bent on globalism with those same strategies in mind.

I have been getting calls, about once per week, for a few years from companies trying to buy my house, which I thought was weird.  How could they afford to do that, I wondered?  Not just to buy my home but to have a strategy of purchasing many homes.  It’s not like they are flipping houses, buying them low, and selling them high after a few improvements.  In many cases, they are paying top prices for real estate, almost as if money didn’t matter.  Well, that’s because money doesn’t matter to them.  What does matter is buying up the property of private citizens, putting a little juice in their pocket that they will then foolishly blow at the local casino or on some nefarious conduct.  Then deplete themselves into becoming renters and subservient to not just Blackstone or some other investment company such as Invitation Homes—but the strategies of the World Economic Forum.  It’s a sucker game that is more of a military attack rather than a straight-up investment as traditionally measured.  The scheme is meant to hide its intentions behind what we would typically consider business practices, but the desire is to acquire private property with phony money injected into Wall Street to give power to WEF companies they otherwise would never have.  These aren’t investments from traditionally hard-working people looking for long-term sustainability for a retirement fund.  Those people certainly do invest, but the real menace is hidden behind the fake money printed by the Fed that gave them all the power and made the investment portfolio look much more attractive than it otherwise would be. 

Of course, I continue to say no to these frequent calls.  Property ownership is the key to the American way of life, and as many people as possible should be utilizing it for the country’s health.   But this current government which is the propped-up puppet not just of China but of the World Economic Forum is playing along with the strategy of making owners into renters, which is the proclaimed declaration of the Desecrators of Davos, “We will own nothing, and be happy.”   Destroying the concept of home ownership is a strategy, just like winning at Monopoly is the reason for playing.  But the point of the game is to earn the win.  In the case of Blackstone, they were given the victory by the Fed, which is the money they are using to buy up all these homes, luring people to the temptation of easy money for short-term gains so they can hold that property for long-term strategies.  It’s the same game as with BlackRock; they didn’t become overtly successful overnight.  They had a partnership with the Fed which used them to funnel their fake money into our economic system to manipulate it in ways that the World Economic Forum desired.  It was a foreign invasion disguised as shareholder capitalism.  Just as Blackstone is buying homes disguised as real estate transactions for investments when the fundamental objective is the conquest of the West’s foundations into private property ownership, when personal property becomes public, because the money used to buy it came from the Fed strategy of Modern Monetary Theory, a nation can be purchased by foreign, hostile interests without firing a single shot. 

It didn’t take BlackRock long to acquire so much stock, bought with a mix of phony Fed money hidden with legitimate 401K investment, to become majority shareholders, which they had to do to redefine capitalism into the Marxist model that the World Economic Forum has in mind.  None of these companies come from Joe down the street, who wants to make enough money to have a boat for leisurely weekend enjoyment.  These are hostile foreign interests who still think they are fighting in the Crusades, only like the Knights Templars who brought back from the Holy Land poison given to them intellectually from the Muslims, like rat poison going back to the nest to kill them all, this attack strikes at the very foundation of capitalism disguised as investments but is, in reality, a communist plot to rule the world.  Buying America’s homes is not just an investment to buy up a mortgage and sell it back to a renter for a few hundred extra bucks in a rental payment.  In case you haven’t noticed, energy bills are up about 6% per kilowatt hour, as is the cost of most things, slowly squeezing Americans at their pocketbooks and making that Blackstone money look all too tempting.  This is a massive military strategy to take over our country.  And it’s coming at us from directions nobody has yet figured out.  But it is a coordinated plan meant to end the concept of America as quickly as possible.  And all roads point back to Janet Yellen, Jerome Powell, and Ben Bernanke and their alliance with Wall Street figures, deeply committed to the Marxism of the World Economic Forum.  And they violated our trust and have shown their teeth to eat us, unaware.  This is not a fight for troops on some remote battlefield, but this one is at the bank and in the halls of the legislature.  It’s a very unsexy fight as part of its disguise.  But it’s a fight never-the-less—one of the most important in the history of the world.

Another Rally for Issue 1 in Ohio: The first one was so successful we are doing it again

The West Chester Tea Party rally was held to protect the Ohio Constitution, with a particular focus on Issue 1. This was a critical event, and many people turned out to voice their concerns and show their support. The rally was a chance for people to come together and stand up for what they believe in, and it was a powerful demonstration of the power of people in action.

Regardless of where people stood on the issue, there was no denying the passion and dedication of those who attended the rally. They came from all walks of life, united in their desire to protect the Ohio Constitution and ensure that their voices were heard with the message: that the people of Ohio would not stand idly by while their rights were threatened.

If you missed the first rally at the corner of Cox Rd and Tylersville Rd, it was quite a spectacle.  As the rally continued, it became clear that this was not just a local issue but a national one as the eyes of many are watching what steps we are taking in Ohio to protect our Constitution from radical Democrats who want to take over the world by destroying the laws of our civilization. People from all over the country were watching and listening, and many were inspired to act in their communities. The West Chester Tea Party rally was a powerful reminder that people can make a difference when they come together.  So they are doing it again, on August 5th, from noon to – 1:30 PM. 

In the end, the rally brought attention to the issue and helped to mobilize a movement that would continue to fight for the rights of Ohioans for years to come. It was a testament to the power of conservative politics and the importance of standing up for what you believe in. The West Chester Tea Party rally will always be remembered for how people came together to protect their Constitution and way of life.

The Attack Through Public/Private Partnerships Against Our Constitutions: How the World Economic Forum intends communism through the backdoor of ESG scores

The most valuable takeaway from Glenn Beck’s new book Dark Future is the very detailed understanding of how governments, run by big financial donors, mean to implement socialism and communism in ways they have never been able to before, through the back door of corporate utilization. I have been thinking about this problem for a long time and dealing with it on the front line. Obviously, this corporate/government alliance was planned during Covid when the government had no right to implement a vaccine mandate on a free people because the Constitution prevented it. But yet, the legal assumption is that corporations can violate Constitutional rights as much as they want to; they all exist as sovereign citizens. The constitutions, state and federal, were meant to limit government powers. Not corporate power. So, of course, the government sought to use its control to punish corporations into a partnership so that the government could do what constitutions would never allow them to through associations with corporate governance. That was the core debate I was part of with legislators and corporate heads from the Chamber viewpoint. The Covid attack exploited this loophole and revealed what Beck’s book Dark Future was warning about coming from the World Economic Forum, where they planned to use technology to make the problem much worse, and people weren’t ready to deal with this kind of hostile intention. I propose many ways to fight this trend in my book, based on my experience, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, as it is evident on the corporate fronts, in the many meetings with business leaders, that they have bit from the apple of Marxism, and they seek this alliance with the government for protection. They may be for-profit businesses, but to stay in business, they see that they must appease the government aggressors, and my objective was to teach them how to fight back against those bullies.

Yet this problem of private/public alliances as a back door for socialism to creep into the halls of capitalism and destroy economies from the inside out is a relatively new threat in the world, and it is undoubtedly the foundation of all the plans of Klaus Schwab and his Desecrators of Davos.  I can tell you that this problem is genuine in Ohio, where I know several lofty politicians who want to make the state one of the best destinations for business in the country, as most states would like.  Kristi Noem is doing commercials for her state to utilize this fundamental challenge.  A good economy is the key to having a good state. Money to an economy is like blood to the body, which is a favorite term of mine. With much good blood in the body, it is possible to be healthy as any organization.  So those old Marxists from Socialist International that I have been talking about for over thirty years have found a way through Klaus Schwab’s Great Reset to paralyze corporate power by threatening that blood supply with government power.  They gain control of governments with fake climate change mandates.  Corporations afraid of that government power bend their knee to these new globalist forces.  And before you know it, the World Economic Forum is running the world’s economies, and the governments are helping them do it because they were too stupid to realize that ESG scores were not an accurate measure of real value. After all, they have lost touch with the realities of private industry by default.  Too often, the management types lose touch with the essence of production, making them mindless bureaucrats. 

One of the reasons it took so long to get Covid legislation done in Ohio, for instance, was that the Chamber types, who don’t want to impose on corporations and businesses of all kinds mandates that would keep them from doing their work.  Whenever employees didn’t want to wear some form of PPE to perform the job, they couldn’t turn to the Bill of Rights and claim that the company violated their Constitution.  So corporations have been allowed in America to function without constitutional considerations because the thinking was that if people didn’t like their employer, they could vote with their feet and go to the next employer that didn’t have such restrictions.  But as Glenn Beck revealed in Dark Future, when all jobs made under various corporations are united in their socialist tyranny by ESG scores, then there is suddenly nowhere for people to go.  This was the case with the vaccine mandates that the Biden administration understood when it tried to exploit all companies, which are most, with some form of government contract to fall under a completely illegal executive order.  It took various states months of debate to figure out the legal positions.  The courts struck down the executive order, and the legislature eventually caught up to the problem.  But the paralysis revealed this globalist threat to the American economy and the many corporations that were more concerned about global positions than domestic value.  So that presented the problem to legislators and Chambers of Commerce, how could a state attract business and still live up to the expectations of individual rights?

I don’t have that problem; I could employ thousands of people and not have this constitutional issue come up because it essentially takes the skill of excellent management to offset.  But not everybody feels so comfortable, so they turn to the rules of human resources to be their mall cops, stuck between the politics of corporate order and the individual rights of workers.  While that debate has been raging in an increasingly technical world where everyone is more and more connected with the internet, making them more susceptible to communist ideas attached to globalism intentions, the World Economic Forum and their billionaire political radicals, people like Larry Fink, Bill Gates, Michael Bloomberg, Mark Zuckerbucks, and many, many others are taking advantage of the chaos for their own radical beliefs that are purely political.  And that way, they can get entire countries to bend to their will without casting a vote in favor of an issue or a rejection.  And when you see a threat to that order, such as President Trump presents, you see that the public/private partnership globally rallied for its self-preservation in terrifying ways.  The benefit has been to see the full effects of their weaponized political order.  So, we are far better off seeing it while there is still time to do something about it. But the point of Beck’s book is that through technology, these maniacal forces are looking to gain more power over individual lives when the real solution is that we should be heading more toward individual rights worldwide.  Corporate governance needs to utilize personal autonomy more fully, not to seek protection from their incompetencies by eating from the fruit of Marxism to appease those hostile globalist forces without a country that can destroy the blood in their bodies through the ever-evolving ESG scores of artificial value created by political radicals from the far left.  I happen to know how this story will end because history tells us.  Personal autonomy is the ultimate act of all government, and power is too difficult to maintain over generations of implementation.  So, the World Economic Forum plots will fail; they don’t know it yet, and their technology will not do everything they fantasize about for them.  But the pain will come from them trying and all the people who must deal with their imposition, creating many hostilities in the coming years.

The Greatest Crime in the World: Of course, the Fed knew what they were doing, they just never thought they’d get caught

Here is the biggest crime in the world that nobody is talking about.  I’m not typically an audit the Fed kind of person, but Senator Rand Paul has been, along with his dad.  But unfortunately, he hasn’t been enough, and more senators should have always been heavily involved in this topic, and now we see the real danger in 2023 of bad Federal Reserve policy for several decades, especially since the 2008 economic collapse of the housing market.  Rand Paul is also really the only senator who has been asking the right kind of questions about the other biggest crime of the human race, Dr. Fauci’s role in the Covid lockdowns and subsequent deaths.  If not for Paul’s line of questions, we wouldn’t have what we do know, which is not nearly enough considering the level of the crimes committed against humanity.   Believe it or not, this Fed problem is much worse, and we are no longer talking about just auditing the Fed.  We need to have serious discussions about abolishing it, and coming up with a new fiscal management policy, because this government partnership with private industry, in this case the banking industry, has not worked.  It’s too much power in the hands of people who cannot manage that power, and it has gotten away from them in terribly destructive ways.  As the Federal Reserve was created in 1913, there were many good reasons to be suspicious.  We gave it a chance, and what happened proved those suspicions to be correct, and it’s time to admit that.  No matter what side you are on with politics, everyone should agree on fiscal policy and protecting money’s value as a core competency of American domestic management.  Instead, what we ended up with is much radical leftist activism from Jerome Powell, Janet Yellen, and Ben Bernanke since that 2008 economic crash and a disastrous relationship with Larry Fink from BlackRock that put all the wrong people in charge of our money, and now we have significant problems that a lot more people than Rand Paul need to get their arms around quickly.   

We’re not talking about ancient history here; it was only in 2020 that the Fed worked directly with Wall Street firms to buy bonds to offset the effects of the Covid lockdowns.  That is certainly the case with BlackRock, the largest money manager in the world, and their direct relationship to the Fed that has given them the ability to purchase the majority shareholder position in most of America’s corporations to impose woke standards on them with an artificial value created by the Fed.  Doesn’t anybody remember that old Flintstones episode where Fred was printing counterfeit money so that he could buy his wife something nice?  No, well, maybe everyone should take a minute and go back and watch that episode.  It’s a simple cartoon for kids, and they understood it back then.  That so many supposedly intelligent people didn’t know what the Fed was doing with quantitative easing to support a radical leftist concept of Modern Monetary Theory was wrong to explain clearly where many of these problems started.  That wasn’t the first time BlackRock benefited from that relationship with the Fed.  In 2008, Larry Fink was a nobody, and the government was looking for a sucker like him to funnel money to take the edge off the housing crisis.  BlackRock wasn’t managing trillions of dollars at that time as they do now.  But once the Fed started printing phony money to saturate the market with easy money funneled through Wall Street, BlackRock grew into the top investment firm within a decade.  But the whole house of cards was built off made-up counterfeit money, just like the Flintstones episode where Barny Rubble was printing fake money and was showing it to Fred.  If a private person prints phony money, it’s a crime.  But if the Federal Reserve does it, it’s not?  That’s the problem. 

Because of all the phony Fed money, BlackRock acquired trillions of dollars of investment dollars that they then used to buy up majority shares of stock and gain control of most American companies.  And because of that majority share ownership, they have been able to impose ESG standards straight from the World Economic Forum directly on those companies and their employees and customers.  Without the Fed tampering with the market by injecting fake money, BlackRock would never have gained the power it now has over so many companies.  And politically, none of these people, not the Federal Reserve representatives, and certainly not Larry Fink, are conservatives.  They are all radical leftists who are entirely too supportive of the centralized controls of the World Economic Forum.  BlackRock has taken in most of our money for 401K plans and made us part of this radical leftist activism whether we wanted to or not because they had control of so much money from the Fed to invest.  Without the Fed, BlackRock would have had to save their money like everyone else, and they would have been limited to their fiduciary responsibilities like all other companies used to.  Only now, after the cash injection by the Fed, did BlackRock, State Street, Vanguard, Blackstone, and many others gain leverage over the market with trillions of dollars of inflated asset acquisition that has essentially destroyed the market in America and placed control of it into the World Economic Forum and its radical leftist, Marxist policies. 

This is how these radical political activists have gained control over the fossil fuel industry and intend to drive them away from market value as it was traditionally utilized but steered them into political activism.  This is how Disney has been essentially destroyed by BlackRock being one of their majority shareholders.  This is the conversion of shareholder capitalism to “stakeholder” capitalism, as Larry Fink defines it.  The public used to be able to buy stock, and if a company could convince them to invest, they’d have a share and say in how that company was run.  These radical leftists are now calling the shots because the Fed injected so much money that it allowed BlackRock to take that opportunity away from ordinary investors.  Why does anybody think that Bud Light did what they did with the trans movement?  And why do most companies, even Chick-fil-A, find themselves in the same situation, despite what the public thinks about it?  Because all these money management firms were given fake money to invest, and now they are the majority shareholders, made that way by Fed radicalism that was entirely politically motivated to give possession of American industry over to the clutches of Marxism at the World Economic Forum.  When you make yourselves the Lords of Easy Money, many subjects will do whatever you say, and that is the crime that the Fed utilized to gain control over the entire American economy with fake money funneled through firms like BlackRock to perform the greatest robbery in the history of the world, right in front of everyone’s faces.  And it’s not something anybody can turn their backs on.  Now that the Fed has been caught, they are digging in their heels, hoping that a political takeover of the world toward leftist domination will save them from justice.  But that is, of course, up to us now that we know what we do.

I Had A Vision of the Destruction of the World Economic Forum: The collision of reality and American property ownership

Prizer Point is a great place to see things clearly

It has been one of those unique times where I have been away from home more than I have been home. My wife and I have been traveling extensively throughout the United States, living out of our RV. Some trips have been just she and I, some with immediate family members, and some with extended family. We have been seeing much of the country and interacting with many people. We have not lived in a bubble, and I have not seen any Joe Biden signs. But we have seen a lot of Trump support, even in areas considered otherwise liberal. And it was during one of these trips, I found myself reading Glenn Beck’s new book ‘Dark Future’ for the third time in over two weeks, and it was in the chapter “In the Future, You Will Own Nothing” that I made some important observations about the state of the world. This was ironic because we were at Prizer Point at Land Between the Lakes way down by Paducah, Kentucky, and I was surrounded at our luxury campsite with lots of property ownership. Prizer Point is one of the better marinas I’ve ever seen, and it had some luxurious houseboats docked there within view of our camp. I, of course, was reading my book next to my RV with our outside kitchen next to my mobile reading chair. Next to our site, mostly surrounded by water on a narrow peninsula, was several million dollars in various rig outfits by very committed RVers who had their own golf cars, jet skis, and boats of all kinds. Our kayak was parked next to our car, so I took a picture of where I was for emphasis. Everything about camping in America is about celebrating property ownership, even to the extent that people never really wanted to leave their homes where properties were secure. So, I tried to capture the irony with a photo.

Being off the grid for this type of camping, which is very popular in America, is about something other than roughing it. It’s not about denying yourself of the luxuries of the modern world; it’s about taking those luxuries into nature and enjoying it with all the comforts of home. When you want a shower, you get all cleaned up in your own space. You don’t have to share it with other people. You bring your food. You sleep in your bed. You watch TV when you aren’t listening to all the woodpeckers working on trees in the canopy overhead. You live well, exceptionally well. And it is pretty nice to travel with all your stuff to many different places and still have the same bed, refrigerator, stove, and bathroom. My wife and I have become so in love with this life that we dislike using public restrooms at gas stops. We like to go in our RV and have everything nice and clean. It is the American way of enjoying nature. But when you go to these campsites, one thing is prominent; nature is not in charge; the people are. RV campers love nature, but nature is not in control. Property ownership is, and I found it particularly interesting to be reading the material I was in such an area where property ownership was on full display to such a large extent. Behind my campsite was the boat ramp where people were putting their boats in and out of the lake all day, and it was enjoyable to see all the different kinds of crafts that people had.

Of course, I have been talking about Glenn Beck’s new book a lot. He did a great job with it; it is full of excellent information, which is undoubtedly what most news media needs to cover. ‘Dark Future’ is essentially pulling back the veil of the Klaus Schwab Great Narrative that the World Economic Forum has been planning behind the scenes of the United Nations and the European Union to incorporate the United States into their schemes of full Marxism and China-style communism through a nefarious attack of the global financial institutions. These people have lost touch with reality, but they have convinced enough people who have also lost touch with reality that they are predicting the future and forming the end reality. And that the end was inevitable. Well, I professionally talk to people who think like these World Economic Forum people a lot. There is a reason my wife and I have traveled so much. It’s our way of keeping it real, of not losing touch with reality, by interacting with reality abundantly. Immediately after we spent a week at Prizer’s Point, we traveled over 300 miles up to Darke County, Ohio, for the Annie Oakley competitions. So it was one thing after another for us, never stopping for air but always having the consistency of our mobile life living out of our RV. That kind of life would have helped the World Economic Forum types not lose touch with their liberal reality, which they have done. And most Americans blow them off as irrelevant. But as Beck’s book explains, they are under the assumption that they will rule the world; they will take all our property and force us to rent from them. And they believe that they already possess the power. But they believe it because they don’t know Americans like I do.

Our camp is in the foreground, some of my kids are in the background along the lake.

Prizer Point has a nice floating restaurant and general store on the lake connected to our campsite by only a thin little bridge. The staff at the camp was all very nice; it was a very well-managed place. But it felt like being off the grid, away from the world just enough to see everything very clearly. We had been to other nice campsites this year, and the general theme was evident, and I found it very reassuring. People were willing to live and let live so long as nobody messed with them. People were not taking Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates very seriously because they had lots of private property that allowed them to get away from their vile little clutches. But the minute they felt threatened by those kinds of people, that was another story. My wife and I went to the store several times to get ice cream and enjoyed eating it while watching all the boats come and go. And I could see that Klaus and the gang were facing some outraged Americans shortly, far more angry and hostile than they were prepared to deal with. And that was what I was looking for while spending most of the summer of 2023 on vacation. We’re not done with traveling for the year, not by a long shot. We have some vast trips coming up on the horizon with our various RV rigs. But everything became very clear somewhere between Prizer Point, the Darke County fairgrounds, and some wonderful books, especially that Glenn Beck book. I saw in a vision the end of the World Economic Forum crashing and burning under their misguided assumptions. And that made it a wonderful vacation season. Private property in America would be the straw that breaks the back of the World Economic Forum. And it would be a pleasure to watch.

The Scam of Cyber Security: What’s the rush for all this technology–who benefits from it–not us

Each week I have a lot of people trying to waste my time regarding cyber security, and I’ll say here what I say to all of them.  I don’t trust computers, I think it’s ridiculous to put so much private information online, and I can live quite well without it.  Cyber security is a scam, like many things from institutions today.  The same people who will likely hack your computer and steal your information are the same people who are telling you that cyber security is the only way you can survive in the future.  This is the case with Microsoft from the 90s.  People realized that Windows-based systems were particularly vulnerable to viruses.  Then, of course, to operate Windows, you would have to subscribe to some anti-virus software to use the dumb program.  It’s still that way primarily, and it all comes down to a scam.  Ironically, this is precisely how Bill Gates has inserted himself into the world as the Health Minister, he helps unleash viruses so that you have to buy the vaccine he is behind to control all of society.  If a company is talking about cyber security, they are telling you that their software isn’t ready for prime time and that the only people who benefit from it are the bad guys in the world.  The most secure thing to do would be not to use their software if they find that they, as a company, can’t provide that level of security for their customers.  My policy is to keep as little online so that some propped-up villain can’t hack it.  If these systems aren’t more secure than they claim, why use them?  The only people benefiting from all these cybersecurity methods are those making the software. 

All the two-way authentication methods need to be faster.  If you have to slow down your life as much as these modern companies suggest, then all the tech gadgets are worthless.  It’s regressing our culture, not making it better.  With all this concern over A.I. hackers and hackers having easy access to our online activity, why are we making ourselves so vulnerable?  The only people benefiting are the one-world government types who want to funnel all information into a centralized source so they can control us.  Technology isn’t helping the rest of us improve our lives.  Increasingly, we are finding that we must wait for technology to catch up.  I hear from many IT departments worldwide who essentially think it is permissible to slow down their companies and their opportunities for production because they believe that cyber security is more of a priority.  I had a case recently where I was working late at night on multiple projects, at around 1 to 2 in the morning, and suddenly my computer went into a mandatory update.  I didn’t tell it to, it assumed that at the late hours, I would be sleeping, so it went into an update mode that took well over 15 minutes.  The computer figured I had all the time in the world to sit around waiting on it to do its stupid thing.  But I didn’t have the time.  I tossed the computer across the room and turned to the old-fashioned way of doing things, with sheets of paper and raw calculations written upon them.  If technology doesn’t speed my life up and make it better, then it’s an enemy.  It’s that simple. 

Technology is not in charge, as much as the World Economic Forum people want us all to believe.  They are the ones who are creating the marketplace for all the identity theft and other fraudulent activity online.  Because they want technology to take over the world essentially, they are pushing it out upon the world too fast because they want it. It certainly isn’t beneficial for us ordinary people.  It helps them get to their cashless society, digital fraud-based currencies, and centralized control of all means of production.  That’s what they are after with their double authentication codes, where every time you are away from your computer for a few minutes, you must sign back in with passwords that constantly change.  And to work your computer, you have to have a phone tracking you all over the place so that some mindless A.I. program can call you to ensure you are using the computer.  Online banking only helps these power-hungry globalists get control of our lives, making us wait on them to get their products to work right.  But if everything is so insecure, then why are we using it in the first place?  What’s the benefit?  Those are the questions we should be asking.  We should not be waiting on technology to “work.”  I would rather deal with a person directly than some computer interface.  Call it old-fashioned, but I don’t want to mess with all that ridiculous security.  It’s not worth it to me to use some computer that is essentially spying on everything I do so that it can go to the NSA to be analyzed by hostile forces in government.  That isn’t my idea of an intelligent approach to the future. 

If these computer interfaces are so insecure, the companies putting them out need to go back to the drawing board and figure out how to improve them before offering them to the marketplace.  There is no rush for most of us.  The push for computers and online transactions to become such a big part of our lives comes from the goals of the United Nations and their masters at the World Economic Forum.  They want us to be inconvenienced with their products to fulfill their dumb 2030 targets for international commerce, which takes power away from countries where they can manage them and puts it all in the hands of mindless European bureaucrats.  They are the ones who want digital currencies that they can manipulate with Modern Monetary Theory and can turn all of society into a cashless society.  So the burden for security falls on them.  Not the rest of us slowed down to a mind-numbing speed because of all their dumb technology and the cyber security needed to make it usable.  Cyber security, as it has always been, is a scam to make technology appear better than it is.  Forcing it into the marketplace has only created a new breed of criminal in the world, the hackers who otherwise would have a more challenging time stealing people’s money.  Technology makes it easier for them to prey on innocent people, which Bill Gates is pleased about.  But for the rest of us, we should be asking why we are rushing to get all this technology into the marketplace only to be restricted by its limits.  All the companies buying into this cyber security scam will find themselves less profitable and greatly limited by the slowness of technology rather than any real benefits.  If something is as insecure as computer technology over the internet, we shouldn’t use it for anything other than information.  But personal banking and business networks should be done the old-fashioned way until technology can get it together as it is now. It’s just a scam that only benefits the bad guys in the world.  And why would we want to do that?
