Mind Control Technology as Revealed in the Gateway Project: Of course shadow governments are working in the background to rule the world

If you go back to the beginning of my news coverage, many thousands of videos and millions of words ago, you will see a pattern. In that case, it will be established that I have been preparing people for a very hard reality, which they now seem to be ready for. A culture that could produce a guilty verdict and 150 million dollar financial compensation against America’s Mayor, Rudi Giuliani, such as what occurred on 12.15.23, is capable of quite extensive evil, looming in the background, and it does get much worse than that. But these things have been hiding in plain sight behind a very polite, Christian society. Sheer evil has become haughty and shown itself in ways that have finally taken people out of their comfort zones. But some people have seen this reality and been well prepared for it all along. So, for many years, I have been building up to this moment, slowly and carefully, so as not to spook the horses, until it was time to move. And now is that time. Perhaps you are not quite ready. Then, in that case, I would suggest my old articles from the beginning and start up toward today’s actions for the proper context. But for those who have prepared their minds, we are going to get into some wild waters here, and for good reason. We are going to beat these bad guys, but to do that, you have to understand who and what the bad guys are. In the coming weeks, I will talk extensively about the bioweapon plans that have come directly out of the CIA, of which all evidence points to Covid as a bioweapon designed for mass change state culture, where centralized authorities would be in control, and you will be shocked how evil they have always been, and how they routinely dispose of people who get in their way. But to understand that level of evil, you have to understand programs that have been out there for a while, such as the Gateway Process which shows clear intent to control human beings through multidimensional manipulation as was released to the public on June 9th, 1983.

Do you ever wonder where you get your thoughts? Some random ones that pop into your head seem out of character. It could be just what you think it is, some accidental brain provocation produced by chemical imbalances or the moment’s emotions driven by stress hormones and the need for self-preservation. But according to a report issued from the Department of Army that sounds pretty legitimate, the Gateway Project is a CIA/military application that reads like a science fiction story and may even perhaps be complete disinformation. Coming from the CIA or having them involved in any way likely is total disinformation designed to steer their targets in the desired direction, to look here and there for the bad guys when, in truth, the fear is what they were after, and a means to tie the strings of a puppet to your arms, legs, and mind. What does matter in such a report is that it shows that a fourth branch of unaccountable government has been working to establish freedom from the Constitution to gain control of masses of people, essentially for their own objectives and motivations. The truth of the matter is that the CIA has done extensive research into mind control and has developed various means to perform the task, and we are seeing it employed massively in this current mass media culture where trust in authority figures compels the mechanisms to work at least until it doesn’t.

So people have been asking me a lot, from many sources, what I think of the Gateway Experience. My answer is that the desire to rule over people has always been a desire of evil people, and if bad people could tap into ruling from the shadows, from beyond 4-dimensional space, then they would surely do it. But in the case of the Gateway Project, which you can get online pretty quickly, look it up (Analysis and Assessment of Gateway Process, CIA-RDP96-00788R001700210016-5 Department of the Army and addressed to the Commander of the US Army Operational Group at Fort Meade, MD 20755), and you’ll see it all for yourself. The real goal may only be to do what Star Wars did to the Russians under the Reagan administration when it was leaked to them that the way to beat their nuclear capacity was to shoot them down from space. The technology at the time may have just been science fiction inspired by a famous movie series and used by a president to defeat global communism. But it conceptually developed into the ability we see today, where such technology is possible. We should, too, view the Gateway Process report as the hopes and dreams of an aggressive central controlling agency that is seeking power for its own sake at the expense of people’s sanity, weaponized against them because they do not understand the forces upon them and the method of warfare that is being applied. And that the technology now exists for just such branches of weaponized government funded infinitely by black budgets and congressional incompetence. Just look at what Marco Rubio did with the NDAA to prevent a future President Trump from pulling out of the European Alliance. It is easy for mass manipulators to take advantage of such people when the bar to intelligence is so low.

I would add that the CIA and general support of the drug trade by all governments is directly connected to the hopes and ambitions revealed in the Gateway Process, which makes a society function with less intelligent ability so that the methods of mind control are much more accessible. This is well established from several sources that I will use to tell the story further, but it is most recently articulated in the terrifying book by Robert F. Kennedy Jr, The Wuhan Cover-Up and the Terrifying Bioweapons Arms Race. Saturating a population with drugs that weaken a mind toward outside influences, such as 5G impediments disguised as internet signal coverage, can have a massive effect on behavioral applications. For instance, if you look at the lifestyle of most school shooters, you will find that they were all marijuana users. And under the influence of that drug, the brain loses its judgment ability and can be much more open to 3rd party manipulations. In the same way that by drinking alcohol, a happily married person might lower their resistance to the idea of sleeping with someone else. Then, when caught, they might say, “But I was drunk.” The school shooter or other mass killer might say on the stand in court that they hear voices, that it was demons and devils that haunted them. In truth, it was mind projection weapons developed over the last 70 years that work best on minds that are already weakened by lifestyle choices that open the door to attack through state governments and 3rd party hostilities. There is certainly a long history of intent. And if a fraction of that intent has manifested into reality, then we have a mass culture under the influence of mind control, violating their constitutional rights extensively. And people have a good reason to be concerned and ask questions about it now. My answer is yes; mind control is a priority of unaccountable governments. It’s not as powerful as those attackers would like it to be. But ruling from the shadows is their plan, and your mind is not locked to them. They can get to it, manipulate it, and use it for their purposes. Often. If you want to secure it, you can. But it is difficult, especially when it is realized that your thoughts are never your own and that the source of the information in your brain is not always in your possession. And it can and will be used against you, as much as they can get away with it.

Is it hopeless? Are you defenseless?  Of course not.  There is always a way to fight back.  But to understand the history, I suggest following the progress of the MKULTRA program, especially the activity at Fort Detrick, and suddenly, all this mess of our modern times makes a lot more sense.  Unchecked power might start with good intentions, especially among shadow government types such as the CIA.  But people are easily corrupted, especially when they feel god-like power over otherwise clueless people.  And they will abuse that power 100% of the time.  And they have been abusing their power for a long time.

The Ohio Republican Party Endorses President Trump: When I say something, pay attention and benefit yourself

I would offer to anybody who would care to do the work to point out when I was wrong.  Occasionally, I may support a political candidate that doesn’t quite get over the finish line, such as the Russ Loges situation in Butler County, Ohio.  But that was due to him being put on the ticket with a loser, someone I didn’t support, which pulled him down.  But generally, when I help someone or propose a topic for discussion with resolutions attached, I tend to be right.  And I would dare anybody to go over my many years of doing this kind of thing and show me where I have ever been wrong, especially on big topics that are very controversial, such as the Covid attack we experienced around the world.  I was one of the very first people to explain what was happening, and everything I said, everything, turned out to be right even if it took a few years to unravel the story.  So I’m not a spike the football kind of guy, but this is an occasion where I have to spike the football because there was so much opposition along the way, I deserve to spike the football now and then.  This is about several Lincoln Day Dinner conversations that I had in April of 2023 when Ron DeSantis came to speak with his wife, and they were presented to us as the final solution for the 2024 Republican nomination.  As I said on that day, and as was confirmed in December of 2023, the Ohio Republican Party has endorsed President Trump for the 2024 election, and I can’t help but say, “I told you so.” 

Those were dark days after the 2020 election, and I have watched the Republican Party quickly try to bounce back to the mess it was before Trump came along.  It wasn’t that long ago when I had a VIP opportunity to meet with all the Ohio bigwigs at an event in West Chester that involved Kid Rock, and I politely did something else.  At that time, these were the biggest names in politics, and just under ten years later, almost none of them are still in the game.  They have been removed from office in some form or another, and I saw that coming way before anybody else did.  Even before Trump came down the escalator, I was for Trump and said so while everyone else was supporting, well, everyone else.  I quickly saw Trump’s advantages, which are pretty evident today.  I knew what the real challenges were to the Constitution, and I knew it would take a personality like Trump to accomplish our objectives.  And nobody else would be able to.  It took the election of 2016 for everyone to get on board, and even then, it wasn’t until the actual inauguration that people openly admitted to supporting Trump.  And I thought it was disgusting when so many people were quick to jump off the Trump train after the stolen election of 2020.  Yes, it was stolen.  How could anybody think otherwise by this crooked, criminal government that wants someone like Joe Biden in the White House?  How obvious does it have to be for people?  Yet quickly, in the wake of the 2020 election, people retreated to their former positions of supporting weak presidential candidates in 2024.  It made no sense.  The trajectory of the country was not headed in a RINO direction, so why did so many intelligent people insist on such picks?  What did they think would happen as a result?  Didn’t they understand the game that was on the table in our country and worldwide?

At the Lincoln Dinner 2024, I listened to some bizarre theories about why Ron DeSantis would be better than Trump in the White House and I couldn’t help but scratch my head.  That dinner was an excellent event where we all had a chance to meet DeSantis and his wife, and I saw nothing in their personalities that said, “These are the leaders of the free world.”  So why did people insist that DeSantis would be Trump lite, and that was exactly what our country needed?  I disagreed politely, of course.  Nobody knew what was going to happen next.  I had very strong feelings that I knew.  But you never know until you know.  I explained to everyone how Trump would win his legal cases, why he wouldn’t be thrown in jail, that the social media landscape would change to Trump’s advantage, and that he was the only Republican worth supporting.  People thought I was crazy and had drunk the Trump Train Kool-Aid too much and had lost perspective.  So, it was a frustrating night.  I was in the minority and have been for the past three years.  Since Trump was removed from office, I began adding videos to my written articles and there are now well over a thousand of them, most of them are about Trump in some way or another, explaining why Trump is great for America and global politics and I put them out for free, so people can have some point of reference.  Yet many brilliant people couldn’t see what was right in front of their faces, which was baffling. 

The smoke has cleared a lot since then, even though it was just a few months ago, and the Ohio Republican Party has formally endorsed President Trump once again.  The Central Committees get it, and increasingly, the Republican Party is a lot better than that event I spoke about in West Chester with all the heavyweights who lost much of their appeal over the next few years.  But through that smoke, I have called things accurately despite the opposition, and here we are.  Trump is way ahead in the polls.  All court cases against Trump have turned out to be nothing and we are watching our country punch through a very dark time, and redemption is on the radar.  By endorsing Trump, now the Republican Party can get on the same page, which it has needed to do for a while now.  All the fragmented opinions can now be joined, and we can focus on winning.  As I said, there is no place in the future for authoritarian government like what the Biden administration offers.  That is not where people are, nor will they ever be.  The Trump offering is the opposite of what the media is declaring: an authoritarian regime.  It is they who are the authoritarians.  Trump is freedom from that approach and it is just bizarre that more Republicans didn’t see it all along.  So, getting the Ohio Republican Party endorsement was a huge announcement, not just for me, but it allowed everyone else to get on board and unite the party.  I continue to write and say a lot of things, much of them, if not all of them, will turn out to be true.  I hope people will make it easier on themselves and listen instead of trying to fight me over every little thing in the future.  I say things, people listen.  That’s how it works.  Listen and benefit.  That would be the best approach, and when it comes to Trump, it took everyone way too long to get there.  But at least they are there now, and we can put our minds to good things to come because we all deserve it.

‘The Wuhan Cover-Up’: ‘Behold a Pale Horse’

As I was reading it, I kept thinking about Behold a Pale Horse, a classic conspiracy book that is considered a Bible for “truthers.” But the moment that an advanced copy of The Wuhan Cover-Up by Robert F. Kennedy arrived, well over a year behind schedule, I started reading it. I finished it 20 hours later as the sun was coming up the next day filled with anger. I didn’t want William Cooper to be right. I read many books, and I enjoy books on conspiracy theories because they are imaginative, more than I would consider them factual. And Behold a Pale Horse is a monster of a book, that has always been disconcerting in the background. What are the world’s elite, and why do they think they have so much power? As I read the Cooper book way back in the 90s in a little breakfast place facing the Kroger in Clifton on the U.C. campus in Cincinnati I thought it was wild, and would best be summed up by the first Matrix movie. Who was really in charge of all civilization? My omelet tasted great as I thought about those kinds of deep and complex things when Bill Clinton was in his first term. And when Covid came along, I thought first about all that Cooper had said in that book and others like him who were already part of the “truther” movement, the kind of people who thought that the CIA and FBI had orchestrated with radicle Islam the attack on 9/11. “No,” I said to myself. There is no way that our own people would try to kill us in order to drive a massive expansion of the government and its power. I didn’t want to think such things, but the moment Covid hit, there was no more denying it. It was evident that all the conspiracies were true, at least most of them. There was a government operating beyond our elected government, we were calling it the Deep State. And they were vile killers working to appease forces not talked about on the nightly news, and they were a menace to all civilization.

This book has the goods!

I couldn’t stop reading The Wuhan Cover-Up, and as I did, reports started floating around the internet that Robert F. Kennedy, who is a Democrat running for president as an independent who takes more votes away from Biden than Trump, had spent time on flights with Jeffery Epstein. And that Kennedy’s wife had a relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell. That by itself didn’t bother me, it was the timing of it that did. There were a lot of people caught up in the Epstein extortion racket, and the temptation to eat the forbidden fruit was too much for people to resist. I find that people who fall in such a way often look to redeem themselves in other ways, and Kennedy has been great on issues involving government intrusions into medicine. He’s still a Democrat, though, so I don’t expect much from him morally or ethically. It doesn’t surprise me to learn that he flew on Epstein’s plane that naturally involved underaged girls serving the powerful elite, or at least that’s how they like to think of themselves. Rather, why was that information coming out now? Kennedy has written other books, very controversial ones such as the recent The Real Anthony Fauci, which The Wuhan Cover-Up is a sequel. But this latest one is different. The Real Anthony Fauci was dangerous because it clearly showed a behavior pattern that would easily stand up in court with raw facts. Fauci and Bill Gates knew what they were doing, and they worked to suppress a proper response to COVID by attacking countermeasures known early in the process, such as hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin, and millions of people died. As a result, the world essentially adopted the United Nations climate change approach to medicine to deal with COVID-19, and the big government expanded its tyrannical authority globally, just as predicted in Cooper’s classic book. It was a power grab that was so ostentatious that nobody could believe it was happening, just as it has taken them a long time to admit it.

This is a serious story, but why is it coming out now? They think you are stupid

But what The Wuhan Cover-Up does that hasn’t been done yet in other books about the Covid crisis that was entirely manufactured by the same kind of people described in Cooper’s exposé of doom and gloom that it shows the who, what, where, why, and when’s on the malicious intent of the governments and their financial backers on the biggest crime in the history of the world, the purposeful murder of millions and the deliberate harm of many more for control and centralized authority.  As The Wuhan Cover-Up establishes, chain of custody was a bioweapons program that had been utilized in America, but as its dangers were pointed out, it was moved to less restrictive markets in China with the full knowledge of everyone involved, especially people like Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates.  Once this bioweapons research was in Wuhan, it got out, either by accident or on purpose.  As I read The Wuhan Cover-Up word for word, it’s pretty straightforward, based on the evidence, that it was purposeful, and that’s where the script shifts to books like Behold a Pale Horse.  2020 was the year that the Deep State was making its move at the World Economic Forum. They wanted control of the global economy through The Great Reset, and they weren’t going to put up with another term of Trump. 

These are killers who have no respect for the American rule of law or the Constitution.  They believe they operate with the full authority of the forces talked about in the Cooper classic, and the truth is worse.  Kennedy firmly established that he believed the CIA killed his uncle, based on firm evidence that remains classified but has been leaked, President Kennedy, and after what we watched happened to Nixon, Reagan, and now Trump, it is pretty evident that the intelligence community, the same people who are always trying to debunk UFOs, are not working for American sovereignty, but some fourth branch of government that justifies itself under the guise of “national security.”  Look out for the little green men, and give us endless black budgets funded by a corrupt Federal Reserve that prints infinite money accountable to nobody for global domination by invisible forces.  Those forces made themselves known with the bioweapon of COVID-19, which was just a test for them.  And they can now see how much they can get away with in the future.  Murder and mass extinction events are certainly part of their strategy.  I closed the book, The Wuhan Cover-Up, around 4:30 AM the following morning in the way I had completed the book on Behold a Pale Horse in the little eatery on that college campus thirty-five years earlier.  Realization is quite evident in those moments.  Everyone needed to read this book by Robert F. Kennedy, and I couldn’t wait to talk about it and share the information with as many people as possible.  It’s a book with good content and should be a priority for everyone in my audience.  Get it, read it, use it, and give it out as a Christmas present.  The more people who read The Wuhan Cover-Up, the better.  It’s not a crazy conspiracy theory book, and the bad guys don’t want people to read it, which is part of the delaying process, and why the story about Epstein was released, to attempt to discredit Kennedy before this book made the waves.  But it’s a packed book filled with facts and many footnotes.  It’s designed for lawyers to prosecute the greatest crime in history in court.  But it’s accessible enough for everyone who wants to understand what happened to us and by whom.  Even though they are in the millions, the perpetrators must be punished. Otherwise, they will do it again.  We don’t want the world talked about in Behold a Pale Horse.  Because, as of now, we do. 

I know this is tough to deal with, most people just want to live life, buy groceries, watch a movie with their spouse, and raise their kids. I personally like people like William Cooper, the author of Behold a Pale Horse. I think it’s a shame that he died in a shootout with authorities. There were probably better ways to deal with that subject. But asking questions against a tyrannical insurgent that likely hides deeply in the shadows of our reality is dangerous business. But it’s not their world, and people like Cooper had a right to ask tough questions, even if he was given a lot of nonsense to hold and drive the control narrative in the way that the power players wanted it to be shaped. Ultimately, when the power people lose their patience, or things don’t work out the way they hope and plan, they turn to violence, and that was how things ended for William Cooper in a bloody gunfight. And when Covid was unleashed, it was the same kind of bloodthirsty ruthlessness. But that’s the truth of things, let’s not have any illusions about it. What matters for our present time is to understand that these maniacal lunatics hide in the shadows for a reason because they don’t want you to know what kind of people they are or what they are up to. And when they feel their grip on power losing control, they do kill. They always kill. And kill they did when they built the COVID-19 virus and unleashed it upon the world in 2020. The proof is in the book The Wuhan Cover-Up and The Terrifying Bioweapons Arms Race. What they did to William Cooper, they have no problem doing to every one of us. And they won’t shed a tear.

Television for Stupid People: Yes, the rats are jumping ship, because that’s what rats do

They were never Republicans, Kevin McCarthy, and many of the people at Fox News, certainly not the Murdoch family.  I have been wary of them all for a very long time, and we are seeing this same frustrated transition in our local Butler County politics.  People who thought they were staunch conservatives are now being kicked off slate cards because the Central Committees are pushing them in ways they’ve never been pushed before.  This is why I recently wrote the Parable of Weeds, to explain this process we are in now, where RINOs are being exposed who were always there, but hid in the background of politics when the media had a lot more control over the process than they do now.  So it doesn’t surprise me in the least to see the Republican House retiring and wanting to give the Democrats the majority back as Speaker Johnson is pushing to have an impeachment of Joe Biden.  These people were always controlled opposition folks, and they have been caught.  This is also why these last four years of not having Trump was necessary, even if it was painful.  Our political system was not set up for us, it was connected to all kinds of maniacal interests that did not have our best interests in mind.  But we didn’t know for sure.  Just remember, we never had a majority in the House; we had controlled opposition.  We needed to root them out to get accurate representation, and that process is happening as we speak as Kevin McCarthy has announced his retirement going into 2024.  He’s not wanted, and he’s not the first to leave.  Politics is a blood sport, but these guys thought they were going to control the score of the game, and they are learning that they bleed just like everyone else. 

I’ve never been much of a Sean Hannity fan, but I have had several chances to meet him. One time, I think it was around 2009, when he had a big rally at Kings Island ahead of the Tea Party movement, right after Obama was elected.  I didn’t make myself available even though it might have looked like a great opportunity at the time.  There were other times but my relationship with Clear Channel radio and Bill Cunningham sent additional cautions to me that I am glad that I listened to.  I always thought it was strange that a Democrat playing a conservative on WLW radio spent each Christmas with Sean Hannity down in Florida with other big-time radio personalities.  It was a kind of networking event that said a lot about the participants, and I have always kept my distance, even though the door flung open to that world for me many times.  As soon as Trump became available in 2015, I started looking in that direction for real results, while many of these fake characters further dug into the RINO lifestyle.  And that was never clearer than when Sean Hannity on Fox News hosted a debate with Ron DeSantis and Gavin Newsom as if to say to the world, that these two people are who Fox News thinks should replace Trump and Biden as presidential nominees, and that anybody would listen.  As if they knew who we should be voting for better than we did.  That arrogance was unmistakable, and the debate I thought was a disaster even though in the following week, everyone kept referring to it as a big “throwdown,” especially on the Clay and Buck Show, the “not conservative” replacement for Rush Limbaugh.  I understand perfectly well why Rush kept his distance from all these characters, and felt he needed to maintain intellectual distance. 

I remember well that I was in the New Mexican desert very near the Trinity test site when I heard on the radio that Rush Limbaugh had died.  That was a rough period because Biden had just stepped into the White House after a stolen election, and good guys like Rush and most of Trump’s team were falling away and under severe legal scrutiny.  It was a very dark time.  Yet Sean Hannity never seemed to be impacted.  He played everything loose playing his role of controlled opposition without upsetting his bosses at Fox News.  And to keep everyone watching, he’ll put President Trump on for an hour-long show, as he did after the DeSantis debate with the communist governor of California, Gavin Newsom.  And Trump went on because he’s a business guy who will talk to anybody about anything, all the time.  And that comes with the territory.  But boy, have we learned a lot about these various personalities over the last few years, really since that announcement of the death of Rush Limbaugh and the term of Trump for the first time ending in the White House.  As I write this I am finishing my reading of an early copy of the Robert F. Kennedy Jr. book The Wuhan Cover-Up which is a jaw-dropping confession to many of our worst nightmares about how the Covid virus came about, how it was funded, and how tight the global network is in concealing and advancing information that ended up killing millions of people as a bioweapon.  And the biggest criminals in the whole matter were the same people telling us that we should be picking Ron DeSantis and Gavin Newsom as viable options, rather than Trump. 

With the writing clearly on the wall now with Trump and that Hannity debate with DeSantis and Newsom going nowhere, it showed how dumb both of those guys are.  I don’t get much of a chance to see Gavin Newsom and hearing him talk was extraordinarily alarming, as he’s an obvious con man who may make women blush with the opportunity to drink a bottle of wine with him, but he’s an overt communist that increasingly Fox News lusts after for the same reason that women do.  And the DeSantis brand is permanently destroyed, never to return.  We have big problems in the world, huge problems as revealed in The Wuhan Cover-Up, and these are the people Fox News presented as options?  The polling for Trump is clear: people don’t like the world that these RINO Republicans have provided, and they are done with it, much the way I have been since early in the 2010s.  I’ve always stayed away from the controlled opposition.  I’ll talk to anybody, but I don’t give them my support unless they show me there is more to them.  And for me, there has never been anybody but Trump, and now lots of the RINOs in Congress are learning that many feel exactly as I do.  Rush Limbaugh understood it, but Sean Hannity never did, nor did Bill Cunningham at Cincinnati’s WLW radio.  It was always fun for them to pretend to be conservatives, but we aren’t in that kind of world anymore.  And that kind of television for stupid people that Fox News has been providing with these alternative debates is a thing of the past.  We are at war with those perpetrators of the controlled opposition and we should be.  In the coming weeks, I will be talking a lot about The Wuhan Cover-Up book and election fraud, which Fox News knowingly played a part in.  And there is a lot of punishment coming toward those who brought great harm to the world on purpose.  And retiring from Congress won’t save them from what’s coming because they played a part in evil that must be punished.  And that’s not called “radical.”  It’s justice for the kind of world we deserve.  And if we don’t, the future will never forgive us.

I’m Happy to be Called a Radical: How lazy people hide the truth from the public

Let’s have an honest discussion. Otherwise, I would have just left it alone.  But over the last several weeks, since the previous election in 2023, I have had more people refer to me and people I know as radicals than I have ever heard.  Let me tell you what they really mean when they say such things.  They intend that they are too lazy to fight for their country and to do the right thing for themselves and their families.  Most of the world, all through history, is pretty lazy, and people would rather shmooze their way into a better life than work for it.  And I am the opposite.  And I find among other people who are also being called radicals because of our support of Trump, and of a dislike of RINO Republicans, and many other things such as abortion rights, pot legalization, homeschooling, and the economy, that the real frustration is that they are too lazy to do the right thing, and they are frustrated by other people who aren’t, and it exposes them for the losers they are.  If only they weren’t so lazy and soft-minded in intellect, the world would be a much different and better place.  The name-calling is in anger for those same people feeling exposed for being less than they should be.  They have let the universe down by not working to make it better.  Instead, they let some pin-headed loser of an attorney attempt to shape local politics with personal destruction so they can have an easier time with a labor contract with a radical teacher’s union.  Or they support little bits of Marxism in their businesses and political climates because they are too lazy to compete with other companies for market share, so they turn to lobbyists hoping to get an advantage through the power of government.  When someone calls someone like me a radical, what they mean is that they are too lazy to do the right things and always fall into evil because of personal failures they wish to hide behind a façade of social merit.

Let me explain another thing: some of the most vile characters that we are dealing with these days never turned away from a Christian nation calling them names.  People like Saul Alinsky, who wrote the handbook of left-winged politics, Rules for Radicals, put the title on his cover, embracing the term as a badge of honor.  Conservatives have been suckered over the years by church interpretations of Christ to turn the other cheek and focus their efforts on getting into Heaven. Actual Luciferian devils of all kinds have been assaulting us to our faces and literally trying to bring Hell all over the earth, and we have been too lazy and too complacent to do anything about it.  Allowing evil to spread like wildfire gives us this world of garbage we see today.  A place where public schools teach kids not to use their minds but to have sex in kindergarten and to be taught by a transvestite who wants to do a strip show in our city streets for children.  Yes, if you open Rules for Radicals to the very first page, the dedication page, you will see that Saul Alinsky dedicated his book to Lucifer.  So, it’s not a conspiracy theory; it’s a fact and an audacious one.  And when I talk about the Blood Cult of Baal, this is exactly what I mean: it is easier for lazy people to sacrifice something of value to spiritual rulers than to actually do the work themselves to make the world a better place. 

Saul Alinsky used to hang around the mob of Al Capone in Chicago and learned from them how to defeat Mainstreet, Christian America, which would then become the playbook Democrats would use to destroy the Republic of America.  To do to the rest of the country what they did to Chicago has ruined the city to this day.  Republicans care too much about what people think of them as being considered good Christians, socially rather than at the level of their very souls, and they could be exploited with name-calling.  It has worked for the last hundred years to such an extent that it has gone overboard, well beyond what Saul Alinsky could have hoped for.  People like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have openly embraced this notion of being called “radicals” because that’s what they were.  They wanted to be.  And on the backs of that effort, Bill Ayers and his crazy Weather Underground wife launched the political career of Barack Obama, the kid born in Indonesia or Kenya by an unknown dad of communist origin (we at least know that much), to destroy America while the polite conservatives just sat there and avoided being called names.  Such people would rather see the world burn before anybody calls them a disparaging name because they are so concerned with external visuals that they are terrified that people might see what they are really all about.  That is how evil spreads in the world, and Saul Alinsky, through the gangster Al Capone, understood it and knew how to use it to destroy the concept of America; they have been doing it to us all this time, and some people like me are sick of it.  I was never OK with it, and I’m not signing up to allow Hell to reign over the earth. Instead, I am committed to making on earth as it is in Heaven.  And I’m not putting up with evil in any form.  And if that’s radical, then so be it!

We have an excellent restaurant in my local area called Son of a Butcher at Liberty Center across from Pies and Pints.  I recently had dinner with a large group, and there is a backroom for such engagements.  This restaurant is filled with very eccentric artwork, and this particular room is dedicated to criminal conduct; it has mug shots mainly painted over the table you eat of Snoop Dogg’s mug shot and that of Marylin Monroe.  And it has the antics of Bonnie and Clyde looming along one of the large walls as crystal skulls peer at you through their antics of hell and damnation.  I love the place!  Not so much in the reverence of such images but in the admission.  In another room at that restaurant, they have what they call the “Godfather” table, which is very large and meant to reflect the participants of that famous movie.  This artistic approach to a dining experience says so much about our current culture, which Saul Alinsky had figured out and Democrats have been exploiting for years, especially recently.  People, like the Cult of Baal, would instead work to be part of a mob and gain the strength of the masses rather than stand as an individual and work to make the world a better place.  If they could find power in group behavior where they only had to appease a mighty criminal overlord or some demonic entity from the netherworld, then they would do it because they were lazy and would otherwise be found to be detriments to the world because they feared being called names for fear that people might learn what they really were, so their public image was of utmost concern to them.  To the point where they were entirely controlled by it and by those who held judgments behind the name-calling.  But not everyone is trying to hide who they are.  Some people are proud of it.  And these days, when the bad guys call you a radical, we can all wear it as a badge of honor.  Because if we have made them angry enough to call us that name.  Then we know we are doing the right thing.  If doing good is radical, then I’m thrilled to be one and will be motivated to do a lot more of it.

People Are Going to Cry For President Trump and Darbi Boddy When they are Gone: What will come after them will be much tougher

The world is changing whether they like it or not. They are not in charge

I don’t like the guys on the Showtime show The Circus. I have talked about enjoying that show in the past, but that was during Trump’s first run for president and the world was a much different place. These days, everyone knows what everyone thinks of each other, so some pretense of fairness is no longer needed, as it was back then. But I find that The Circus is a good political show, even if I don’t like the people who put it on. It accurately reflects the political tides of the moment, which was alarming to them when they interviewed Steve Bannon and tried to interview Kari Lake but couldn’t even get enough material to do a segment with her. Astonishingly, as knowledgeable as they are about politics, they are missing the signals going into the 2024 election. They do not understand the MAGA movement, as most people obviously don’t. And they were nothing short of stunned when they heard Steve Bannon from the Warroom podcast, who used to be a chief strategist for the Trump White House, so he’s no slack-jawed loser, tell them that Trump was a moderate in the MAGA movement and that one day in the near future, they were going to wish they had Trump back. There was a kind of stunned silence, even for them. There has been an acceptance that we live in a world where co-existence with evil was always going to be the case, and increasingly, there are people in the MAGA movement who are supporting Trump, hell or high water, for militant reasons that defy conventional politics, to put it nicely. I’ve said it since before 2015 when Trump came down the elevator of Trump Tower, and just about every day since, I want to run campaigns against Trump as a liberal because, to me, he will always be a New York Democrat. That’s the world I’m fighting for.

It didn’t have to be that way, which was my thoughts when essentially all the Butler County judges had to recuse themselves on the Darbi Boddy case, which is a screenshot of the future of politics.  There are thousands of Darbi Boddys out there, the school board member at Lakota that I have talked about so much.  The belief was that the established order would play games and prosecute her with some power over the law and order society and that everyone would bow down and kiss some ring of party politics.  That is exactly what is wrong with the Republican Party in the wake of Trump.  That the Koch Brothers and Fox News still think they have some power to steer people away from Trump, that people are so stupid that they’ll vote for Nikki Haley instead of Trump.  These are all people smoking crack and are way off the political trajectory of modern sentiment.  They aren’t even in the room of consideration regarding reality.  I tried to warn everyone about the Darbi Boddy case.  These days, some lazy attorneys hiding in the background who are looking for an easy negotiation with the next unionized labor contract by getting rid of politicians who might stand in the way of that task with threats of jail, or even worse, are over.  That kind of local political abuse of power is what gave rise to Trump and the MAGA movement.  There is no control that the system of before has over people.  They have lost it, by their own incompetence.  That is what Steve Bannon meant when he said about Trump to the interviewers of The Circus that not far in the future, they will wish they had Trump back.

Darbi’s case in Butler County should have never even seen a courtroom, and now it’s going to go to the Supreme Court, and an impartial judge will have to be selected, and the party politics that has stuck its nose in all this business has screwed things up.  Darbi Boddy certainly didn’t do anything wrong.  And the judges involved in this case knew that from the outset. Instead, they played along with some assumption that they were in control and had a right to abuse their authority for some view of the world that has long been outdated.  And that is among people I know, that they have an entrenched view of the world that is not represented by reality that they refuse to see beyond.  I could have told them if only they had listened.  But the same could be said nationally and internationally.  Most people who work in politics don’t understand.  There will be a day when Trump is no longer in politics.  Right now, Trump has broad celebrity appeal, and he has a lot of Democrats voting for him.  He has broken down the blue firewall by changing how people can support political candidates.  I like that Trump ran his White House as a strong conservative, but he is way too liberal for my taste, and I am sure there will be a future with people much further to the right than he is, that I will happily support.  Yet people who hate Trump, Darbi Boddy, and thousands of politicians who are rising in the wake of all this, who will run and win future political offices, are mystified by this process and are refusing to deal with reality, as they did in Butler County, Ohio until it was too late.  The world will move on without them because they were never in charge. 

And it’s true, in just a few years, most of the people who have declared their hatred of Trump and fought so hard to keep him out of the White House with every legal maneuver available to them, and then some, are going to wish they had Trump back.  They will not like a world run by the Darbi Boddy’s of politics.  The Lakota school district will wish they had her back, too, when she’s not there anymore.  Essentially, what we have in government are radical labor union types deeply committed to Marxism who are using old tactics of resistance to stop needed changes.  And our political system has kicked the can down the road all this time to reach this point where there is no more road.  The belief that elections could be controlled to protect the thieves looting off it is over.  And Trump is viewed among MAGA Republicans, like me, as being entirely too nice.  I think of Trump as a liberal moderate.  I see him as a Democrat.  He is far better than the other alternatives and committed to stopping kicking the can down the road. And I am very supportive of that kind of talk.  But for me, he’s not even on the conservative radar.  Once he is done with politics, I will expect people far to the right of Trump to occupy positions in the Senate and the House and at state and federal levels; I plan to see the destruction of the Department of Education and many other assumptions of labor-controlled government that have ruined our country.  Trump is just the beginning.  Over the next ten years, I expect drastic changes.  Like Darbi Boddy in Butler County, Ohio, everyone has choked on the chicken over just one person.  The political world hasn’t seen anything yet, as the recent Argentina election indicates.  This isn’t just an American thing.  But it’s a sentiment worldwide, and it’s not going back to how it was…..ever.  History will never let people forget.

Disney Has Failed due to Woke Politics: And its never coming back

I told everyone, don’t say I didn’t warn you.  Disney stock is down, and it’s never coming back.  I have had many people who think they are competent to tell me that the company would bounce back and that all this political stuff was recoverable.  And my reply to them has been they were smoking crack.  Once a company like Disney loses the public’s confidence, it’s over for them.  This was the clear indication coming out of the Thanksgiving weekend of 2023, where their new film Wish was struggling to break 32 million when it should have been closer to 100 million.  It used to be that Disney would crank out movies like this that all made a billion dollars, but now, for the second week in a row, where Marvels also fell apart in a dismal way, the writing is on the wall for Disney and all those people who thought they should argue with me about the fate of the entertainment giant.  Like I have said now for years, “Go woke, go broke,” and Disney is.  What executive at Disney thought that by putting a bunch of girls in a movie and having them throw a bunch of magic around, people would show up and throw a billion dollars at it?  Because that’s what they thought when they put out Marvels.  If Bob Iger had listened, I would have told him that you can’t go out and buy up all these properties like Marvel, like Lucasfilm, then fire all the top minds, or isolate them from the industry because they were old white guys, replace them with female directors, get rid of all that toxic masculinity and replace it with a cast of women who don’t look like they could pick up a heavy box, let alone take on a universe of monstrous villains, and that it would all work out OK?  In the original Marvel movies, some characters appealed to young boys and even grown men, like Captain America, Thor, Hulk, and Iron Man; they had big muscles and were charismatic and funny.  But that Disney was going to get rid of all that and replace those tough guy characters with women, and people would love it?

Here’s a little secret, everyone: women don’t care about movies or stories in the same way that men do.  They want to find a boyfriend and snuggle up with him for two hours.  They don’t care what they are watching.  They certainly won’t be going out to buy tickets with their girlfriends to watch a superhero movie.  They want to buy pants and purses so they can go out and find a boyfriend, possibly a husband.  That is their biological inclination.  They want to see what kind of guys they are dating, and if they can respond to some admirable character in the Avengers, then maybe they might be worth a second date—maybe more.  However, Disney thought it had the power to restructure the nature of society and that their movies shaped society instead of reflecting it.  They bought the whole World Economic Forum view of the world to their detriment.  And here they are.  They put out a full slate of movies, such as the latest Indiana Jones film, which was a pretty good movie, that have all lost money.  But they have all fallen flat because people have lost their trust in Disney itself.  And once that happens, there is no way to get that trust back.  And it’s too late to start over.  It took 50 years to build that brand Disney had.  It only took a decade of commitment to Larry Fink and the gang at BlackRock to destroy it.  Nobody wants to see equity and inclusion in their movies.  They want to see bad guys get their butts kicked.  They certainly don’t want some girl power nonsense, boys or girls, women or men.  Disney aligned itself with the wrong view of the world, killing them.

I was pretty serious when I stated I wanted to take my kids to Disney World one last time.  I’m old enough to have watched several amusement parks come and go in my life.  LeSourdsville Lake, near my Liberty Township, Ohio home, was one of my favorites as a kid.  It’s a park now; the lake and all the rides are gone completely.  The same thing could quickly happen to Disney World, and I wanted to take my family there one last time before it all went away.  Many people think it’s too big to fail.  I would say that it’s too big to survive so many bad decisions.  They lost their focus on who their audience is and disrespected the public by feeding them this garbage and expecting to get paid for it.  Embracing radical political views of the communist orientation was a terrible business decision.  And it showed up in the parks.  When my family of 9 people were all riding Rise of the Resistance together, at the first ship you get into, they had a drag queen ushering everyone onto the ride.  It wasn’t very comfortable.  We had kids 7 through 11 with us, and they noticed the long black fingernails and the makeup on a man’s face and wondered what was going on.  I cracked a joke and told them that this was Star Wars.  It was a species of alien, which they were fine with.  But it was an uncomfortable diatribe for the adults with us, not just in our family.  A woman not from our family beside me inside the ship laughed when I said what I did to the kids, and she said, “I’m glad you said that.”  Her little girl looked up, smiling because it seemed like a reasonable consideration. 

The park attendance was noticeably down while we were there, which was OK with us.  Seeing so many fantastic creations on life support made me sad.  Disney cannot operate theme parks of that size without a revenue stream of movies making billions of dollars a year.  They have produced some good content on Disney+, but as I have said many times, like Ahsoka and the Andor Star Wars series, it was a little too late.  Trust is essential in any relationship between spouses, children, or families, but also with fans and the public.  When Disney committed to a Democrat view of the world and thought it had the power and audacity to shape society, they were misinformed.  They worked against the MAGA movement, which is more significant than Trump, and it has cost them now in ways that cannot be reversed.  And I didn’t want to see it happen.  I wanted Disney to survive.  I keep hoping to be wrong.  But I’m not.  I think it is very feasible that we will not know anything about the Disney entertainment company in the future.  It will only be a thing of our current time.  Future generations will not know them or care about them.  And there certainly won’t be a Disney World for them to visit.  Thank Larry Fink and the losers at the World Economic Forum for that.  They whispered into the ears of Bob Iger all this progressive nonsense, and now the destruction in their wake is more than measurable.  And it didn’t have to be that way, yet it is.

How Lynda O’Connor has become more of a RINO over the last few years

If anybody needs a reminder, why not to vote for Lynda O’Conner on November 7th, 2023 here it is. While she was always something of a RINO, she has become excessively worse over the last several years. Remember this when you vote.

Dinesh D’Souza’s ‘Police State’: What will you do when there is a knock at the door

I already know the answer to the question asked at the beginning of Dinesh D’Souza’s new movie, Police State, about getting a knock at the door.  History is filled with fools who put up their hands and were taken away peacefully only to be never heard from again.  And we are dealing with criminal thugs of that precise nature.  We’ve seen what they were willing to do to a former President of the United States, and we have witnessed firsthand what has happened to the January 6th prisoners, a set-up job if there ever was one, especially after the ridiculous discussions we have been having over the last decade about the Muslim Brotherhood and Antifa not being designated terrorist organizations.  Then, finding out that angry moms at school board meetings and MAGA supporters are now considered domestic terrorists by this Biden government, which is just a ghost government third term of Obama and his Marxist insurgents appointed by him to “fundamentally transform the country.”  I’ve never been much of a cop person; I wrote several books on the essential abuses of the law enforcement community and how they feed a police state mentality.  The police are a necessary part of a law and order society, but I have always had a very weary eye toward them and the giving to them so much power and armament.  I have employed police officers on several occasions, and I tried to coach them into success in life, but they were a mess as a group of people.  Their wives were over-sexed swingers, and they were players obsessed with the power to pull people over and have them perform sexual acts to get out of traffic tickets, which most of the time, the crying victims would indulge in so that their parents wouldn’t find out that they were speeding and would increase their insurance rates.  I could tell stories about such things for days.  But to say the least, I’ve seen enough to know what I will do when there is an unjustified knock at the door, which is where we are at now during this stolen Biden presidency. 

For the first six months of the Covid lockdowns, I was one of the few cars still on the road.  I never did shelter in place, and I refused to change my life in any way.  I continued as usual, but I was one of the only ones.  I actually left my home expecting a shootout at any time from a police checkpoint, so I’ve been through this scenario many more times than once.  It’s a sad state of affairs, but that’s where we are these days, and the movie Police State by Dinesh D’Souza and Dan Bongino captures it well, as most of D’Souza’s films always do, no matter what their topic is.  These aren’t our friendly neighborhood police anymore; they are unthinking “yes men” (and women) who follow orders because they are too lazy to do otherwise and hungry to abuse their power.  Kicking down doors in the middle of the night or early morning, as they have done to Roger Stone and many other high-profile characters over the last five years or so, to show they can.  How they have treated Peter Navarro, Steve Bannon, General Flynn, and many other people who worked in the previous White House, nothing in this Police State movie should surprise you.  Even Dinesh D’Souza was thrown in jail for a film he did on Obama.  These are socialists in this government, and like all Marxist governments around the world, they all require a police state to enforce their policies and run people through fear to comply with their orders. 

I told lawyers how unconstitutionally unsound the lockdowns were in 2020, and I let Governor DeWine know all about it, and I was proven right in court way before they figured it all out.  And lots of judges and politicians.  Too often, by the time those idiots figure out what the law is, your life could be over with an unlawful search and seizure while you rot in jail.  I wasn’t, or won’t, put up with unreasonable search and seizure violations of the Bill of Rights.  And during that period, I realized that it was a genuine possibility.  Then, after watching Police State, which is easy to see (I’ll put a link on here to make it even easier), it was clear to me that I was likely on just about every watch list that any law enforcement agency could have, and I would never give them the optics of compliance in front of cameras or the courts that they were hoping for.  Under any circumstance, this is a terrible realization.  But it is where we are in 2023 America.  We have a police state born of Marxist insurgents who now control our legal system, and they have made their move and are cautiously poking us, hoping to nudge us into compliance before society snaps and retaliates between election cycles.  I haven’t given up on elections yet.  I believe the Constitution has many means to keep all these Marxist insurgents in check legally.  But knowing they control the legal system the way they do and are more than willing to violate the Constitution for short-term gains of media optics, then going away quietly only means your slow destruction, as we have watched happen to so many people, many of which are given great examples in the movie.  As bad as some of the stories show government abuses, I would say it’s a polite introduction to how bad the situation is.  Dinesh D’Souza is a very nice guy, and even his challenging documentaries show his pleasant personality.  The actual severity is much, much worse.  We have a Police State as bad as anything the world has ever seen.

Police State, the movie was in theaters.  I wanted to see it when it was in my area, but I couldn’t get the time through the week.  So my wife and I ended up streaming it off Rumble.  They have a means to watch it from their website, but I found the Rumble offering to be the best.  Rumble is as easy to buy and watch movies as YouTube, so that’s how I watched it.  It was around $25, which it would have cost if we had seen it at a theater, and I thought it was well worth the price.  It was a first-class documentary with great production values that introduced people to a tricky concept.  We want to like the police.  We need the police.  We need a legal system.  But if we don’t monitor the power we give them, it goes to their heads.  And suppose Marxist insurrectionists start running the law, as they do now in several district attorney regions across the country. In that case, you might find yourself on the wrong end of a knock at the door, which is unacceptable.  But a likely possibility eventually.  The Police State is an accurate movie, and it was captured well in its 2023 form by Dinesh D’Souza.  I would argue that I think Police State is a kid’s film.  But it’s probably just what people need as an introduction to how bad the situation is.  And when a criminal government like the Biden people, who are just the third term of the Obama radicalism creation of the Weather Underground, a peaceful outcome is probably not possible.  Eventually, they are going to cross the line.  If they can control elections, then they do not respect the pick of the people, as we saw when Trump was elected, then they won’t respect them in the future.  They won’t go quietly in the night, and eventually, we should all expect a knock at the door.  And when we do, you better know how you will handle it.  Police State is a good place to start that conversation with yourself.

Make Sure to Judge and Judge Often: Learning from Ecclesiastes 10:8

One of the dumbest things I have ever heard come out of the mouth of another human being is, “Don’t judge.”  Of course, we should judge, and we should put up high barriers around the things that we love.  I say, “judge and judge often.”  Have strong opinions and cast judgment aggressively everywhere.  And to best illustrate the necessity of this value, I think Ecclesiastes 10:8 best describes the need for review by saying, “he that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.”  One of the reasons we have the mess we have today on so many fronts is that we allowed ourselves to turn off this valuable ability that the human race has to change their environment.  Most animals in the world cannot come up with such conceptual faculties.  They can only function from their biological impulse.  But human beings can alter their environment through their intellect, and in that way, creating something of value and then protecting that value from the impediments of evil is one of the greatest attributes that we have, which is the meaning of that Ecclesiastes phrase.  We live in a world now run by the snakes of evil, as portrayed in the Garden of Eden story.  There are always snakes; the world is full of them and on many layers of life.  They don’t just come in one shape or size, but many.  Snakes are abundant in the world, and they are seeking evil for the way that evil feeds itself.  So, to advance in life, human beings must come up with some way that isolates the mechanisms of the snake, of evil, in our lives.  In our culture, we have created property rights and then defended those rights with barriers, represented in Ecclesiastes as “hedges.”

We can call something evil by its desire to remove value from consideration.  When the snake tempted Eve, we see clearly that the desire was to focus her mind on good and evil instead of eating from the Tree of Eternal Life, which is to say, a life of value.  For evil, it’s in removing value from society that it does its work, whether we are talking about desecrating our bodies from being temples of God, to the kind of language we use, or even having casual Fridays in a business climate.  Divorce has been one of the most intrusive evils to be enacted in our culture, the desire to destroy the concept of family so that children are left vulnerable in an evil world to the intentions of every vile specimen.  Evil wants easy access to the creations that spawn out of value, so desecrating any of those values is their primary objective.  It is why evil wants people to do drugs to abandon their religions, their families, their jobs, their politics, and their values.  Evil is the snakes always tempting Eve away from the Tree of Eternal Life and into the duality of conflict, which sin always controls by controlling what people value or don’t.  Judging others is essential because it does not allow evil to hide in the background of ambiguity and is at the core of any civilized society.  The Bible contains excellent wisdom accumulated from the efforts of the human race over many thousands of years, so it goes well beyond any religious assumption for the afterlife.  What the Bible does best is reflect values from lives well lived or not so well lived and provide that wisdom for future generations to build a foundation of judgment from. 

And that is why it is dangerous to cut down the hedges because that is where the snakes hide.  And when you cut them away, and there is no hiding place, the snakes will surely bite.  Hedges are barriers that we often place around our property to make sure that other people recognize our boundaries and our values.  We value things, whether it be a home, a spouse, children, a job, or a car.  It should be obvious when studying Marxism that much of the premise of collectivism is in removing barriers to ownership, such as saying, my wife, my country, my family, etc.  This is why open marriages are such a disgusting concept, the idea of sharing a spouse with strangers for the sexual excitement of it.  Not only does it desecrate the value of a lifetime commitment to another person, but it also defiles the idea of a marriage that creates a family at the most foundational level.  So we wear a wedding ring as a hedge to let others know we have boundaries.  Snakes might gather there to hide in wait, hoping to catch someone off guard and stumble into their lair of hiding so they might bite them or even consume them.  That is why we have locked doors in our homes, to keep out people who might do us harm.  That’s why we lock our cars in a parking lot so that anybody can’t get into them and drive them away.  So, too, must we have locks on our most personal thoughts and ideas.  Being open to the world is not a good thing because it allows the snakes of our lives easy entry into our most personal possessions.  And yes, the keys to Western Civilization are creating values and defending them because, in that process, we make social value, which the rest of the world is starving for. 

Of course, there must be standards and established protections around those things you love and care for.  And that the evil of the world will embed itself in those barriers but will keep clear of those things you value because of their natural inclination to hide.  That is the way to manage evil.  Not having standards allows evil to move anywhere and to hide in the open, where chaos can camouflage their intentions, which is the problem of modern times.  When we ask why there is so much evil in the world, we have removed our hedges and allowed sin to hide among us at close range instead of the safe distance of our established boundaries.  We must judge, set up barriers against evil, and cast opinions about it.  Once we listened to the dumb serpents in the Garden of Eden, we opened ourselves to this vile existence of living with and putting up with evil instead of keeping our minds on the things that matter.  And we learn what matters through possessions that we seek to protect their value from the world’s evils.  In that process, we keep our minds on the Tree of Knowledge, on the things that matter.  To best fight evil, we must maintain hedges that keep it from the things we most value.  We don’t open ourselves to evil and live without judgment.  To do that, we become no better than animals and every other lifeform just eating, reproducing, and fulfilling some lifecycle of some cellular decomposition.  To live our best life, turn to Ecclesiastes 10:8 and learn the wisdom of the past to bring value to the future and keep those snakes obscured at a safe distance.  Because at every opportunity, they will bite you because that’s what snakes do.
