Who is Blackstone and Why do they Want to Buy Your House

Like Blackrock, why do all these hostile WEF-linked companies all have “black” in their title, such as Blackstone, the investment firm that is buying up huge amounts of personal homes to make Americans from owners to renters, to fulfill the strategy of the World Economic Forum, “you will own nothing by 2030 and be happy?”  But many people don’t have time to know who these companies are or how they are attacking their way of life.  So here is a bit of history about Blackstone so that everyone can have some basic foundation as to who they are and what role they play in trying to take over the world for the World Economic Forum through a strategy by the Federal Reserve to print fake money and flow it into Wall Street to essentially give artificial buying power to all the WEF linked investment companies that are involved in the Great Reset, with the help of their representative, the Biden administration.

Blackstone is one of the most influential investment firms in the world today. With a long and storied history that dates back to the mid-1980s, this company has become a household name in finance and investing circles. But what exactly is Blackstone, and what makes it so special?

At its core, Blackstone is a private equity firm that specializes in alternative investments. This means that the company invests in assets that are not typically available to the general public, such as real estate, private equity, and credit. By doing so, Blackstone is able to generate significant returns for its investors, often outpacing more traditional investment strategies.

But what sets Blackstone apart from other private equity firms is its size and scope. With over $500 billion in assets under management, Blackstone is one of the largest investment firms in the world. And with offices in over 30 countries, the company has a truly global reach.

One of the keys to Blackstone’s success is its focus on long-term investments. Unlike many other investment firms that are focused on short-term gains, Blackstone takes a more patient approach to investing. This allows the company to identify opportunities that others may overlook, and to build long-term value in the assets it invests in.

Another important factor in Blackstone’s success is its team of experienced professionals. Led by CEO Stephen Schwarzman, Blackstone’s team includes some of the most talented and respected individuals in the finance industry. With decades of experience and a deep understanding of the markets, these professionals are able to identify opportunities and manage risks in a way that few others can.

But while Blackstone has achieved great success over the years, it has not been without its challenges. The company has faced criticism from some quarters for its role in the 2008 financial crisis, and has also been accused of profiting from the misery of others through its investments in distressed debt.

Despite these challenges, Blackstone remains one of the most important and influential investment firms in the world today. With its focus on long-term investments, its team of talented professionals, and its global reach, Blackstone is well-positioned to continue generating significant returns for its investors for many years to come.

In conclusion, Blackstone is a unique and powerful investment firm that has achieved great success over the years. With its focus on long-term investments, its team of experienced professionals, and its global reach, Blackstone is a force to be reckoned with in the finance industry. While it may face challenges in the years ahead, there is no doubt that Blackstone will continue to be a leading player in the world of investing for many years to come.

The Morality of Speed: Bad guys are slow, good guys are fast

I talk about it every year, and it’s that time again for the Annie Oakley Festival in Darke County, Ohio, which is a yearly vacation for me. And I continue to get asked about it because it’s work for a lot of people but a paradise for me. I have participated in several annual events at the Annie Oakley Festival, some for over 20 years. And out of all the things I could do, I find this particular weekend, the last one of each July, as my refuge from the mundane effects of the Administrative State. I hate slow people in life. Even though most people are pretty slow, they frustrate me tremendously, and out of all the other days of the year when I have to deal with them, I always look forward to the Annie Oakley Festival because it is there where speed and accuracy are celebrated in the traditional American ways rather than this slow New World Order globalism garbage. I love speed and have always been obsessed with it because when it is experienced, there is a morality to it that is unique to American culture, and each year at that event, I get to experience it without restriction and be around other people who appreciate it with a kind of raw understanding of morality. The world under the misguidance of the Administrative State is designed for slow, stupid people, and I find it pathetic. My idea of a vacation is to be away from those kinds of people, even though I may be exhausted at the end of all the competitions, which last all weekend. It’s a good tired. Because it is refreshing to be away from slow people, lazy people, and people who hide behind the Administrative State to appear valuable when all they are, are mindless bureaucrats.

Many of the old stunt performers, cowboys, gunslingers, and general roughnecks I hang around in some of these Western preservation groups all understand something that most people have forgotten, which will likely be returning shortly. In traditional American Westerns, which most of the world still enjoys, speed dominating evil is a consistent theme at the core of all values. When the good guy was faster to a dueler’s pistol, we cheered for the demise of the slower bad guy—the villain. (villains lost because they are slow) The value of speed was directly connected to the morality of capitalism, and society generally understood the metaphor. I spoke this year with many of these old fast-draw professionals who feel like they are a dying breed. I told them this year that I thought that young people might find themselves very attracted to the old fast-draw traits as globalism’s effects were failing worldwide, and people would be looking for a replacement. There are consistently good Westerns doing well on streaming services, like Hell on Wheels, and shows like Yellowstone. Some video games, like Red Dead Redemption, are very popular with young people, so it’s not like Westerns are dead or dying. It would only take a film studio like Angel Studios to start making traditional Westerns again, and people would flock to see them because they enjoy those kinds of stories. Hollywood may be a dying business model, but that doesn’t mean the Western will die with it. Hollywood used to be all about Westerns, and their demise started when they stopped committing themselves to Westerns. You can tell how people feel about Westerns at these shows I go to, especially the fast-draw events. There is always a crowd watching, and we are amazed that we shoot real guns that fast, competitively. Most of them have only witnessed that in movies and television shows.

Part of the suppression of Westerns, starting with those who finance movies, was the desire to build a global administrative state to mask production from performance expectations.  As globalism has proposed, the administrative state’s goal is to slow down the world to the communist intentions of centralized authority.  Those were the villains in the old Westerns, so it’s no wonder they don’t like Western values.  They want to slow the world down with bureaucracy so that centralized communism can rule.  But they are so slow and pathetic.  No wonder they want to legalize marijuana because they want people brain dead and too slow to think, to ask questions, and to meet reality head-on.  Most of my life is about dealing with slow-minded administrative state losers who seem only to want to slow things down.  So when I get to compete at Annie Oakley, speed becomes the priority, and it is just so refreshing.  I practice Fast Draw most every day in some form or another, so I’m always thinking fast about things.  But to express that speed in public, where people appreciate it, is very refreshing.  Usually, this Annie Oakley event charges me up for the rest of the year, just those few days.  I attend other fast draw events throughout the year, but what makes Annie Oakley stand out is that it’s done in a public forum with audience attendance.  Most competitions are held in private venues, so the general public cannot witness them.  At Annie Oakley, it feels like it would be like to have been in the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show.  And I love it!

Many Americans have been polite about the slow world of the administrative state and the ridiculous European concepts of the World Economic Forum.  They don’t have a culture in Europe or Asia where people can express themselves with guns, rapid draw in the classic Western way of dueling a bad guy as the Bible would define villainy, to establish individualized law and order.  Speed was the way to achieve justice, and the action was from a superior individual against the masses of slower bandits.  I’ve never learned to accept a lack of speed in life, no matter what it is, production, driving down the road, going to the grocery, everything.  I read fast.  I think fast.  I am happiest when things are fast.  I’m a guy who will drive a 51-foot RV rig at 85 miles per hour, happily zipping in and out of traffic, and I don’t care how much gas it burns.  Because I like to go fast.  But there isn’t much more satisfying in life than the fast draw events at Annie Oakley, whether with bullwhips or traditional six guns.  The participants and the audience appreciate speed; when you see it, you know all is right with the world.  And in the end, when the World Economic Forum types must face reality and deal with the speed of American culture outside of their Davos forums, where they talk to each other in a vacuum, they’re going to learn that they are the bad guy, and slowness is not going to be acceptable.  Americans like things fast, whether it’s a Chick-fil-A drive-thru, highway traffic, or a running back on a football team.  Americans want things quickly, and Cowboy Fast Draw represents American culture in so many satisfying ways that I am happiest when I compete with other fast gunslingers.  I’m more comfortable than anywhere on Earth under any condition.  And I never get tired of it.  Slow people are terrible.  But fast people, the world could use a lot more of those.

The Deep State Must Be Destroyed: They started the war, elections are the best path to a peaceful resolution

Please make no mistake about it, the World Economic Forum types; the Deep State as it operates in the world is at war with us in the United States.  They have attacked us through controls over finance, and their intentions were just as hostile as any other kind of military attack.  I understand Steve Bannon’s speech at Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point Conference in Florida, where President Trump also spoke.  Supporting Trump is a vote against the Deep State that has attacked our country, and the general enemy is globalism.  And many people, like Steve Bannon and Trump, get it.  We are not having a policy discussion in America.  We are at war.  Now this just didn’t come out of nowhere.  I have quite a few people I associate with who have IQs over 180 who have been trying to recruit me to the Sovereign Citizen Movement for most of my adult life.  The Sovereign Citizen Movement is a controversial group of individuals who believe that they are not subject to the laws and regulations of the government. They often use their beliefs to justify illegal actions, such as refusing to pay taxes or obtaining false identification.  I think some of my friends in this movement are too smart to play the game and they gave up their citizenship years ago and would rationalize to me that America is not America.   There is no Constitution; there is no Bill of Rights.  America is a corporation.  It is not the land of the free, and I was being delusional to believe any of it.  So when it comes to compliance with the Desecrators of Davo’s enemy, who want to control the world through globalism, I know many people in various pockets that will fight hard should the time call for it. 

I can’t say that any of those rebel factions are wrong, but my statement is different, which is why I’m not in their movement. I don’t care what some central bankers think; I don’t worship the Rothchilds or any globalist ruling families. They are all idiots, and their money means nothing to me. And if they want a fight, well, I’m always happy to give it to them because I believe in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. And that is what I am willing to fight for. It doesn’t make any difference to me whether or not they accept those laws. I always viewed some of those intelligent friends as chickens for not wanting to stand and fight for their country. And I don’t mean signing up for the military, even though that’s how most people think. To me, the army of our government is a branch of globalism. I have very different views on it. But fighting for the Constitution, the First and Second Amendments, the Fourth and Fifth, which are routinely violated by this criminal syndicate Biden administration, is worth fighting for. So far, that fight is in politics. If votes matter, I’d say utilize them as far as possible. But submission to these globalist forces that have infected our institutions, our government at every level. No, that isn’t in the playbook—no submission to anything but American sovereignty. Running and hiding in other countries without American citizenship is not my idea of fighting. It’s running, so I have very different views than the Sovereign Citizens. I understand their argument but disagree with the resolution for correction. The real fight to fight is on the finance front. This isn’t a war of tangible battlegrounds like we’ve seen in the Revolutionary War or the Civil War. This is one at the bank and its connections to international investors who want to destroy our country from the outside in.

But just like attackers on the battlefield in the past, during the Civil War, for instance, railroads were targets for destroying supply chains. The same is happening now, but it is choking off our corporate structure in board rooms. The attack is to starve Americans of their freedoms slowly, to leave the infrastructure intact for a communist takeover that has been planned through globalism for over a hundred years. And now they are cashing their checks, and the moment is upon us. I would say the attackers have a math problem; so long as there are people like Steve Bannon out there and Charlie Kirk, who know how to fight these fights the right way, it is impossible for the Deep State to win, where the Sovereign Citizens believed all along that the whole effort was pointless. I would say it’s far from hopeless, especially if you understand the intentions of the Deep State. For years they have operated in the background, in hiding. But now they are exposed in the light of day and won’t last long like this. So I feel wonderful about America’s chances. What Bannon says about Trump is true. Trump is a peaceful resolution to this conflict. But if the Deep State insists on confrontation and things go sideways, that’s on them. More than enough people are willing to fight to destroy the Deep State.

And that’s what we are talking about here, the Destruction of the Deep State.  They went to war with us; we were minding our own business.  We were living by the rules of the Constitution.  They were the ones who came along in an attempt to destroy our founding documents, and people now understand the implications of that effort.  Today I spent the entire day with some excellent friends who remind me every year at the Annie Oakley Festival, which I have been a part of for over two decades, that many people are more than willing to fight the Deep State.  They are minding their own business and don’t even know what a Deep State is.  But tell them they can’t buy a gun, or vote for Trump, or that they can’t get gas for their truck, and they will be looking for someone to pay for interrupting their lives.  And you can bet I’ll point them in the right direction.  I’ll be happy to.  The Deep State deserves destruction for what they have done to America and is attempting to do presently to the world.  They are the ones who attacked us; they have killed innocent people and have looted trillions of dollars from all of us.  They are bloodthirsty killers hiding behind a fancy façade of polite “European” society.  And they aren’t welcome.  I’d say I interact with a very “diverse” number of people, and I know how many people find the message of the War Room with Steve Bannon a better representation of their political alliances than Fox News, or any of the other mainstream offerings.  So all the strategies of the Deep State are pretty flimsy.  They are ruthless, and they have shown us their teeth.  But failure is in their future, and how painful it is, is really up to them.  It’s what they do; next, that will decide how that future proceeds.  But domination and compliance of American society it’s not in the cards.

China is Rewriting the Bible: The modern form of book burning, information impression through A.I. and control of the internet

Fox News recently reported concerns over China’s recent decision to rewrite the Bible. Christians in the country are worried that the new version of the holy book will be edited to fit the Communist Party’s ideology. The move has been met with criticism from religious leaders and human rights advocates around the world. Many call on China to respect freedom of religion and refrain from altering sacred texts. This caused quite a stir among religious communities, especially those who believed in the traditional interpretation of the holy text. Despite the backlash, China continued with its plans to rewrite the Bible. The new version included certain passages and wording changes and a new introduction and commentary. For instance, in the Gospel of John, Jesus famously confronts the accusers, a woman caught committing adultery, saying, “Let the one among you who is guiltless be the first to throw a stone at her.” The chastened accusers slink away, and Jesus says to the woman, “‘Has no one condemned you?’ ‘No one, sir,’ she replied. ‘Neither do I condemn you,’ said Jesus. ‘Go away, and from this moment sin no more.'” Unless you’re a CCP official. Then it’s a story of a dissident challenging the state’s authority and now ends with Jesus himself stoning the adulterous woman to death. I’m sure this isn’t the first time this has happened in history, where a group that wants to be in power has rewritten history to prop up their place in it. I’m sure the Romans did it when they assembled The Council of Nicaea in 325 CE, which worked to establish a unified understanding of Christian doctrine. No question that they assembled the ancient texts in a way that supported their political power at the time, and that was some of the motivation behind the Quran in the region some 400 years later.

Yet China’s desire to rewrite several religious books, including the Quran, is a consolidation of power to impose their communist ideology upon the world.  It’s a real story; to prove my point, I used an AI program to look up the Fox News article and write an opinion on it.  The response was predictable but was a warning of what was happening worldwide.  The A.I. refused to answer my question, which I show in the picture included.  It’s a real story about a real problem, but the A.I.’s priority is a social message that doesn’t come out divisive, as defined by the communists who programmed the software.  You can imagine an army of mindless writers out there reporting the news, and instead of doing the work the old-fashioned way, they turn to ChatGPT.  Suppose they ask how China is changing religious text. In that case, they won’t learn what the communist party is doing to the Gospel, according to John, where Jesus becomes the killer of an adulteress rather than a redeemer.  Because A.I. is part of rewriting history, people wouldn’t know otherwise if you didn’t know any better.  That’s why I will continue to do things the old-fashioned way even though the A.I. trolls work very hard to keep as few people seeing my work as they can manage, for the same reasons that A.I. gave me that response on this China story.  For those who want to trust the state and its control over opinion and religion, these are apparent justifications for concern because activism is a problem.  The race to capture the message to provide power over the masses by controlling that message is a strategy that is growing in intention.  

I find the Bible an excellent insight into the thinking from 2000 BC to around 900 BC.  Thank goodness the Greeks preserved the ancient Hebrew scrolls.  When I think of the Bible, I think of a book that might have been on the shelf at the Library of Alexandria before the purge by the barbarian hordes of Julius Ceaser, who burnt it down in 48 AD to show their power over the region, to edit out the history in favor of the new administration, which China is doing today.  I am grateful to get what we did get in the Bible because it has survived many years of similar activism.  Even if the Romans interpreted the Bible’s construction to their advantage, at least with the Dead Sea Scrolls, we can cross-reference the original text.  For me, it’s not as crucial that every line of writing in the Bible is true or is the word of God, as much as it gives as authentic insight as possible into what people thought about the state of good and evil during an ancient time.  But over the many thousands of years, there have been a lot of Chinas along the way who have taken some of these old stories and put their spin on them, which we’ll never know about because so much was destroyed in that fire in Alexandria. 

The question here isn’t whether or not China is seeking to censor all forms of communication with a solid submission to the state as its core message.  But they’ve been caught doing it because at least a free media still in America can ask these questions.  But people reading the Bible in China who wouldn’t know any better wouldn’t see the Jesus the rest of us know.  They would read about a guy who picks up a stone and kills a woman who has worked against the state’s rules, and that would be all they would know.  So if you are China, and the media that reports on the efforts of state control who don’t want to have their social credit score turned off and be ostracized from society altogether, their new version of the story of Jesus is of submission, not forgiveness, which then allows them to control their mass population noticeably.  Not the first time for sure, but it’s the clear intentions of China’s goals of world domination and the modern A.I. that wants to help it because their supporters wrote it.  My advice to everyone is not to trust A.I. Don’t trust China.  Don’t trust the World Economic Forum at all.  Be sure to keep old books and not let them trick you into burning them, as most cultures throughout history have done to erase the past so the new power can take control.  That is the move China is making, and they are seeking to erase all influences of the West to advance their state control tyranny everywhere.  Even on TikTok apps, YouTube through Google, and your local banking.  Every part of your life, the movies you see, the music you listen to.  The clothes you buy.  And especially what you believe religiously.  If left to their own devices, they will do to the world what they seek to do to the Bibles their people have access to.  It’s a real danger, and they have been caught doing it.  And the media is already trying to put a wet blanket on the story so that people never learn the truth.  But what is the truth, is it the truth of what China says, that Jesus is a murderer who will kill to support the state?  Or is it that Jesus forgave the adulteress as we all learned from the original text?  What is the original text, when we allow state power to redefine them?  One thing you can know is that state power will always seek to control what you know so they can keep that power, and perhaps grow it.  That’s why Julius Ceaser burnt down the Alexandria Library in the first place.  And why China is trying to do much worse now.

The Market Decides Success, Not Governments: Modern Monetary Theory’s attempt to inject Marxism into the world economy

The good news is that there is an obvious path to victory regarding all the scary intentions of the Deep State and their Administrative State terrorists.  It all comes down to the classic failures of Marxism and the incredible intelligence of capitalism, as expressed by Adam Smith and his fantastic book that every leader of every country should read, The Wealth of Nations.  Hidden behind this current corporate partnership with the government, which has become apparent during Covid, the long-established plans were set bare, and now we know what they were up to and for what reasons.  Governments want to avoid violating countries’ Constitutions by backdooring everything with corporate loopholes.  And those who lobby governments and put money in the pockets of politicians, who secretly want to control the world, use governments’ power to extort corporations into playing along for their own good. The fear of regulations by governments forces corporations to play in partnership with the government to give the government power that the Bill of Rights doesn’t allow.  And once these forces control the finance industry, you see the genuinely frightening tyranny we are presently in.  But, the entire concept, which is wrapped up in failed Marxism from the start, is the very foundation of the whole scheme, and yet the attackers do not understand the trajectory of failure, and that includes people like George Soros, Rupert Murdoch, and his family at Fox News, and all the major studio heads.  The plan was to fake the Marxist takeover of the world’s major corporations with this arraignment using phony made-up money using Modern Monetary Theory to buy off the depleted stock values, tricking CEOs into believing that the next excellent value system would be ESG, which is well underway now.  But in the end, the market is in charge, not the government or corporations, and once the smoke clears, all these characters will learn some hard lessons.  

It was embarrassing to see all the top people in the industry miss the market trends in the latest movies hitting during the summer.  For instance, the box office disappointment of the latest Mission Impossible is a good representation.  The belief was that because Top Gun: Maverick by Tom Cruise made over a billion dollars, his next film would do just as well because it’s another action picture.   When Mission Impossible started off slow, the industry panicked because the assumptions were all wrong.  Mission Impossible is a different kind of film than Top Gun, so the trend was concerning. At the same time, The Sound of Freedom was a surprise smash hit and has been very profitable for Angel Studios.  Now this is where it gets tricky because BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard as money managers are now the top stockholders for all these capitalist endeavors, from movies to fast food restaurants, and they have bought that stock and control with largely phony money, with Larry Fink’s relationship to the fed, Janet Yellen and the gang.  Yes, the same Janet Yellen who loves communists and was seen bowing to the ruler of China, President Xi Jinping.  By printing fake money at the Federal Reserve and dumping it into Wall Street, to Fink and the gang, this partnership has caused even these movie companies to stop making movies for actual stock value, driven by box office results, and instead to appease that new market of partnership with the government because the government can then print unlimited amounts of money.  But people still vote with real value for what they consume in the marketplace.  See where this is headed?

And Rupert Murdoch, in all his foreign arrogance, thought that Fox News had a lot more power than it did.  This is the same kind of stupidity that you will hear at dinner parties among the very wealthy, where they can’t smell their own bad breath, and nobody will tell them so because they like rubbing shoulders with the rich and powerful.  They believe people are too stupid to think for themselves, so they will buy anything corporations put out because that’s what people do.  And I knew many people who believed that Ron DeSantis would be the guy because Fox News picked him to suppress Trump for the next presidential election.  I listened to people try and tell me last year that Trump had no chance because either Fox would sink him or the government would destroy him, so I needed to get over my support of Trump.  It was never going to happen again.  Then I would tell them, “Guys, the government is not in control.  Corporations are not in control.  The marketplace is in charge and will ultimately decide.”  People think Rupert Murdoch must know something special just because he is rich.  Sometimes people get lucky, and many rich people are in that condition.  Or, they are more ruthless than others and don’t have that valve of morality that tells them not to crush everyone around them needlessly.  Whatever it is, they aren’t that smart usually, and they have a false belief generally in the power their money can buy, fake or real.  Ultimately, as Adam Smith figured out in 1776, the invisible hand of markets is driven by desire.  Fulfillment of that desire is profitable.  Controlling that desire with market controls like disguised Marxism through Modern Monetary Theory still leaves people with resentment and anger, which is why things are these days as they are.

The attack of private investors into government, and government into corporations, to bring about economic philosophy that will change the world is just as stupid as the concept that Ron DeSantis would destroy Trump and ultimately put control of the populist movement into their hands.  The Deep State, which controls all these forces through various means, wants to think they can continue to put their people into the American government.  So far, they have been successful because they have stayed in secret. But now that pressure has forced them out in the open, it’s a different story.  They are learning that market value is real, whether it’s movies at the theater or presidential picks for the Executive Branch.  These people were never really in charge.  They only gained a political advantage through deceit.  But once that cover was blown, which it is, all their assumptions about how markets work, and any need, fell apart in front of their faces.  And that’s how all this will end as well.  The control of all the major corporations through stock buys built off Modern Monetary Theory by complete losers like Janet Yellen, Ben Bernanke, and Jerome Powell was always going to fail because it assumed that value could be controlled by printed money, not market need.  And now that they are all caught, and there are many tens of thousands of perpetrators, they should all be going to jail or punished in as severe a way as possible for messing with the money supply with an attempted Marxist takeover that essentially has wrecked the lives of millions of people.  And they have been caught, just as Rupert Murdoch has been seen, believing they had more power than they did and that people would serve the markets rather than the markets serving the people, as it would always be.

Say No to Globalism: Pedophilia is the true objective behind the charities, Marxism, and climate change

When I think of globalism, and I will provide lots of examples in the weeks to come to support this statement, I think of the Rothchilds controlling around 100 trillion dollars of global wealth, worshiping ancient bloodlines they believe are the roots of all the royalty on planet earth from the beginning, telling King Charlie and the royal family what to do, who also controls around 100 trillion dollars of wealth, all who have been exposed by the terrible exploits of the BBC celebrity Jimmy Savile and the pedophilia ring on the island of Jersey, just north of France. I am convinced that most of what is stated at the World Economic Forum, which is a partnership with King Charlie and Klaus Schwab and the old Nazi roots of both men to continue with the occult practices of yesteryear, which is ultimately the consumption of children sexually, and in their life essence which is disguised behind Liberal World Order ideas propped up by charities, Marxism, and climate change, to essentially hide the terrible things they do because they have acquired so much wealth and power that they use it to stay above the law. Those are stories for another day but serve here to explain that there is nothing at all good about Globalism. We are at a point where we’ve seen what they are up to, which is essentially using Modern Monetary Theory to hijack the world’s corporations and to gain Marxist power over the entire world by collapsing their economies and replacing that value with phony money they printed for an all-out assault on our nations. What all globalists are proposing is essentially a military attack against our country, and that is the heart of what the next election is all about. And now, we need to essentially do what President Eisenhower didn’t when he identified this globalism problem in his last speech as president. He saw what was happening and warned President Kennedy about it. Yet within just a few years, Kennedy was assassinated by the CIA in what we now know is no longer a conspiracy theory.

Globalism is a complex concept that refers to the interconnectedness of countries and their economies, as proposed by the United Nations and the ghost group for Marxism, the World Economic Forum. It is the idea that what happens in one part of the world can have an impact on other parts of the world. While they talk about the benefits to globalism, challenges and risks are associated with it. One of the biggest challenges is how to ensure that the benefits of globalism are shared fairly and that the risks are managed effectively. This requires cooperation and coordination among countries and a commitment to transparency and accountability, which clearly isn’t happening.

Here is President Eisenhower’s farewell speech as he gave it.  “My fellow Americans, as I stand before you today, I am filled with a sense of gratitude for the privilege of serving this great nation. For eight years, I have had the honor of holding the highest office in the land, and I have done so with humility and a deep sense of responsibility.

As I prepare to leave office, I want to take this opportunity to share some reflections with you. I want to talk to you about the challenges we have faced together, the progress we have made, and the work that remains to be done.

When I took office in 1953, the world was a very different place. We were in the midst of a Cold War, and the threat of nuclear annihilation hung over us like a dark cloud. Our economy was struggling, and our society was still grappling with issues of inequality and discrimination.

But despite these challenges, we never lost sight of our core values as a nation. We remained committed to freedom, democracy, and human dignity, and we worked tirelessly to advance these ideals both at home and abroad.

Over the past eight years, we have made significant progress on many fronts. We have strengthened our economy, expanded access to education and healthcare, and made great strides in the fight against discrimination and injustice.

But we cannot rest on our laurels. There is still much work to be done, and we must remain vigilant and committed to our goals. We must continue to work for peace and understanding both at home and abroad, and we must never forget the lessons of our past.

As I prepare to leave office, I want to thank each and every one of you for your support and your commitment to our great nation. I have been blessed to serve as your President, and I will always cherish the memories of this remarkable journey.

May God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.”

And here is Klaus Schwab in 2020, speaking in full-throated support of globalism “As we move forward in these unprecedented times, it is clear that a great reset is necessary. Our systems and structures have been exposed as fragile and unsustainable, and it is time to rebuild them in a way that prioritizes the well-being of all people and our planet. We must seize this moment to create a fairer and more equitable world, where access to healthcare, education, and basic necessities are not determined by one’s wealth or status. Let us come together and work towards a brighter future for all.” Klaus Schwab, for those who do not know, is the founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum and has been closely monitoring the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. He believes this crisis can potentially reshape the world and create a new global cooperation and solidarity era. Schwab has called for a “Great Reset” of the global economy and society, which would involve rethinking our priorities and values in order to build a more sustainable and equitable future. He also stresses the importance of investing in digital technology and innovation to help us navigate the challenges of the post-COVID world.

Then here is a speech by King Charles from the same Davos event in June of 2020 “My fellow countrymen, it is with great concern that I address you today. We are facing a time of unprecedented change and uncertainty as the world grapples with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its vast economic repercussions. But alongside these immediate challenges, we must also confront the longer-term threats posed by climate change, social inequality, and the rise of authoritarianism. It is in this context that many have proposed a so-called “Great Reset” of our global systems and institutions. And while I am sympathetic to the goals of this movement, we must be careful to proceed with caution and thoughtfulness.

The Great Reset, as I understand it, seeks to fundamentally transform our economic, social, and political structures in order to create a more sustainable and equitable world. This is a noble goal, and one that I believe we must work towards. But we cannot simply tear down the existing systems without considering the potential consequences. We must engage in dialogue and debate, and we must ensure that any changes we make are done in a way that is transparent, inclusive, and equitable.

Furthermore, we must also be mindful of the challenges that lie ahead. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the fragility of our global systems, and we must work together to build resilience and preparedness for future crises. We must also address the urgent need to combat climate change, protect our natural resources, and promote sustainable development. And we must do all of this while upholding the values of democracy, human rights, and the rule of law.

In conclusion, I believe that the Great Reset presents us with both opportunities and challenges. As we move forward, let us do so with a clear sense of purpose and a commitment to working together. Let us engage in open and honest dialogue, and let us ensure that any changes we make are done in a way that is fair, just, and sustainable. Only then can we create a world that is truly fit for all. Thank you.”

Essentially what has been talked about regarding globalism is theft, stolen wealth propped up with phony money to steal real wealth from America to serve their illustrious schemes.  Its essentially a communist trick to attempt to convince countries of great value to share all their hard work and innovation under the threat of new technology that they poise is a big and scary new Big Bad Wolf in the world, and that only together can we defeat it.  But when they say “all countries must participate,” they mean it as a threat.  The purpose of the history lesson here is to show that it started to really get out of control during Eisenhower’s administration, and he knew it at the time.  This globalism thing is not something that just occurred, it has been many years in the making, and it has taken advantage of the niceness of our character.  But always, there has been a hidden menace, and ever so softly we have gradually learned about it over time, and from their own mouths.  They used a crisis they created in Covid to show their cards on globalism, and their intense desire to establish a coup against America’s pick for president, just as Eisenhower began to learn about during his term and Kennedy felt the wrath.  Nixon was done wrong by globalism even though he tried to play along with the creation of China on the world stage.  Henry Kissinger ended up selling him out, as they all do.  Trump is just the latest in a long line of globalists victims who learned all too late that the world has already claimed us as theirs; they don’t respect our rights, liberties, or laws.  And now they are in our faces about it, thinking it’s too late to turn back.  But it’s not.  We can still defeat globalism, and we must.  First, though, we must recognize it for the threat it is and what it’s really about.  Regarding the pedophilia trade by globalists, which by the facts, seem to go together as one and the same, I will provide a much more detailed exposition of that problem in the days to come.  Formally, I heard the stories but didn’t believe it until I saw that network in my own neighborhood up close and personal.  Pedophilia and crimes, in general, are a byproduct of globalism because the chaos of not having established legal parameters to establish moral behavior has unleashed the worst of people’s inner secrets.  And when they think globalism will conceal their vile actions, they indulge more in the worst sins of existence.  We now have a paper trail that establishes this fact beyond speculation or conspiracy.  And it is now upon us to say No to Globalism.  For all kinds of reasons.  But mainly because it’s wrong, parasitic, and an evil unleashed upon the world that must be defeated.  And one that we must recognize as such after many years of playing along to get along.

The Government Caused Mess of PPP Loans and Student Loan Forgiveness: To stay in power, they are planning the next pandemic released through a deadly bioweapon

Mark it on your calendar; the Democrats aren’t just going to give up their criminal empire with the Global World Order.  They have been taking advantage of Americans behind a thin façade of helpful activism recently.  But they were always out for the worst the human race can imagine.  The Biden White House is preparing for another “pandemic,” as the communists at the World Health Organization are starting to talk about again because they see what’s going on with populism around the world, and it’s getting harder to cheat in elections.  They aren’t going to play fair; they will try and implement another Covid virus, this time one that is deadly because it’s their only option.  The Biden White House is soaked with serious scandals; people already don’t believe that Biden was ever elected president.  And now people are catching on to how bad this pedophilia problem is everywhere.  We’re not just talking about sex tourism in Vietnam or Jersey in the British Isles right off the northern coast of France.  We are talking about a massive problem that goes well beyond Jeffery Epstein.  People are learning, and they are seeking action.  So, you better believe it; they will try to unleash another virus to halt the impact of the 2024 election where nothing else has been able to stop Trump.  And before they let him in office to crack down on the cartels and drain the Swamp in Washington D.C., they are looking toward another virus to unleash before they all end up in jail for the damage they caused during the first pandemic, which was wholly made up by governments as a bioweapon and released in partnership with China to establish a global Great Reset of all capitalist economies and to gain centralized control converting them into communist ones along the lines of China’s model.   Don’t kid yourself; yes, these people are killers, and they are that malicious.  They will kill a significant portion of the population before they get caught and punished for what they’ve done in the past, and they are indeed planning it as we speak. 

And this is an excellent opportunity to think about what they did do before, which has come up lately regarding student loan debt and the PPP loans provided during Covid to allow businesses to continue paying their payroll as the government shut down the economy leaving everyone in indecision as to how to handle even basic business needs.  What they share in common is a government that stuck itself into the middle of everyone’s lives and made a mess of things.  In America, when we talk about “freedom,” we mean freedom from the stupidity of government.  The government is supposed to serve our essential management needs for a country, but they aren’t supposed to get in the way and rule over us like some spoiled brat aristocracy.  And since the falsely placed Joe Biden has been trying to buy votes among stressed-out young people who are encumbered with too much student debt from a product grossly inflated, which is a college education made that way because the government has tampered with the market by supporting labor costs driven that way from teacher unions and other progressive activism.  The defense of using the government to give relief to those loans by government forgiveness was thrown in the direction of the PPP loans as if they were all the same thing.  And they aren’t.  With Student Loans, that was a choice to hopefully buy into the aristocracy of a tiered system created by the government to manage society with opportunities to “teach” kids Democrat platform options, such as communism, by providing them with a gateway opportunity to get paid more money as an office bureaucrat in the Administrative State.  The government caused PPP loans as a reaction to a condition the government caused, which was the purposeful mismanagement of the economy which businesses must function within. 

PPP loans are loans provided by the Small Business Administration (SBA) to help small businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. These loans were meant to assist enterprises struggling to stay afloat during these difficult times. The loans could cover payroll costs, rent, utilities, and other essential business expenses. The loans are forgivable if specific criteria are met, such as using the funds for eligible expenses and maintaining employee headcount and salary levels. Overall, PPP loans were an essential resource for small businesses looking to weather the economic challenges caused by the pandemic, which the government caused.  Covid 19 didn’t happen in nature; it was made horrible by people who work in communist governments and want to use terrorism to drive people from capitalist markets into communist ones.  And people have been trying to throw them all into one basket as an either-or situation.  PPP loans for many companies were necessary because governments tampered with their way of life.  Student loans are kids trying to buy into an aristocracy of the Administrative State driven by more government activism intent to control society and regulate economic activity as a central communist authority.  I can personally convey the horror stories of the PPP loans because the government was hostile, primarily through the IRS.  They tied up a lot of money, and when it was time to return it, they didn’t want to.  Many companies didn’t make it through Covid because of the government, and it has cost people a lot, which has never yet been redeemed. 

And here we are almost four years later, and nobody has gone to jail over what they did during Covid, for the purposeful murder of people with the bioweapon that was made in a Chinese lab in Wuhan and released, purposely to be just one of the many contributing causes of election fraud in America.  Yes, the people involved are that bad, even worse.  And to cover up their crimes, Biden’s communist-oriented administration has been telling kids to go to college, get liberally indoctrinated, and grow up to become wishy-washy Democrats for the first part of their adult lives, and they’ll pay off their debt.  So, they can pay all those incredibly expensive and equally worthless college professors, mostly all Democrats, a wage they clearly wouldn’t get in the free market where their value is much less.  The college debt was a choice.  The PPP loans were not; that was survival, which, even so, often didn’t work.  And years later, companies are still trying to sort things out from the government mess they injected into the situation.  And it’s all bad and created by government stupidity, which they want to provide more with a communist takeover of the global economy.  No thanks.  They have done quite enough damage.  And now that they are caught, people realize just how bad they have been and who did what to whom; punishment is on everyone’s minds.  That is why they plan to do it all again and expect to use student loan forgiveness to at least put the young people back to sleep so they can stay in power a bit longer through a rigged 2024 election because it’s their only option.  Besides killing off those seeking justice, most people are screaming because it’s their only way out, this time from an angry mob that isn’t as gullible in 2023 as they were in 2019.  Just don’t underestimate how bad government can be or how deadly when fighting for their own survival.

The Way to Beat Secret Societies: Hidden power gained through hidden rules to create the illusion of knowledge

Usually, when people talk about secret societies, there is a level of dread that is associated. Secret societies seem ominous because, as human beings, we think of the things we don’t know about as being powerful and godly, which is part of the appeal that drives people into secret society membership. And this is a problem when you are trying to run a transparent society where you understand the characters and their motives. In an honest world, there shouldn’t be any desire for secret societies. There shouldn’t be any secrets. But as we have learned over the last several years, many secret societies work in the background and are attached to many of the messes that are part of our modern problems. The quest for secret knowledge to leverage power over others is a strong aphrodisiac to the kind of personalities who want to rule over others. That has made secret society membership a menace to society because it keeps people from dealing squarely with one another. If so many secret societies ask for supernatural, occult aid, how should a straightforward, election-based culture operate? And that is where we currently find ourselves, especially in Europe and America–those who want to be like Europe. I know of many secret societies, and I know the kind of people who are members, and they aren’t very secret, especially in a society that has as much information access as we do these days. Secret societies aren’t so secret anymore because everyone knows where everyone else is and what they’re doing. Which leaves the question pending, why join one in the first place? What could they possibly do for anybody? 

Well, I have a very different take on secret societies that I have formed over a long period of time. And what helps that perspective is that I have never wanted to be in one. I tend to like to be in charge. I was like that as a little kid, so working my way up in a secret society, like the Masons, or some other group, was never for me. I never liked being told what to do, and I always required full autonomy for my independence. So, it was easy for me to say no to those kinds of membership offers. I once had quite a fight with an entire fraternity because I went there to see a friend of mine with my wife, which apparently there were all kinds of rules against. And on our way up to the fraternity house, she walked across the seal on the sidewalk for their membership. There were house rules on how to serve that seal best, and not knowing anything about those rules as a visitor, she didn’t know she wasn’t supposed to walk over it. The entire house rallied to assault us, but I have an unyielding personality, so a stalemate ensued because they really didn’t want to fight. They were obligated by the fraternity charter to conduct themselves in such a way, but they were all wimps who really didn’t want to fight that they were forced to stew; as I visited my friend, he toured me around the house, and we left uneventfully. My friend was removed from the fraternity after we left, which is a common passive-aggressive action that low-conflict threshold people perform when faced with a challenge to their invisible authority. 

This is what the weakness of all secret societies have, whether it’s just a college fraternity or the Skull and Bones Society that the Bush and Kerry families were members of. The training for this way of thinking often starts early for people so that by the time they are fully functioning adults, they are largely governed by secret social rules that aren’t openly expressed, which then makes managing a stable society a challenge because you have people worshipping lots of rules that are not part of the ethics of a social construct. And I have found all such people to be weak and easy to beat in whatever the engagement is, whether it’s physical, legal, or purely social. People drawn to secret societies want secret rules and power to protect them from their insecurities, which is why they are attracted to such powers in the first place. The power is an illusion because other people can’t know what those powers are. And this little shift in social engagement gives the illusion of power. In some ancient cultures, a high priest might acquire such power by understanding when an eclipse would occur and might point at the sky and declare power over the heavens. And because the information about how eclipses occur was secret to the society, who did not have access to that information because of some tyrannical regime, the high priest appears to have a secret power over the heavens. But the whole gag is about a lack of knowledge, not in full disclosure. And this is what draws people into secret societies, invisible rules to create the illusion of secret power. 

There is also a strong desire for weak people to hide in the herd to not be independent. They fear being singled out in society, so they seek membership in groups to hide in the safety of the masses. Group membership tells the world that people value them enough to be associated with a secret handshake and an exchange of some fundamental shared values. One of the most insecure things for people is to grow up and away from their parents; most people never develop that ability. So to fill that void, they seek a brotherhood and create a new family out of secret society membership, such as the Masons. Companionship is one of human beings’ most primal needs, so group consensus associated with limited access is a very persuasive motivator. And that is all innocent enough until those mentalities are brought into elected politics, where you expect representatives to perform on a job based on a platform they were elected to. Not following some rules of the secret handshake in the Skull and Bones Society which dominates Beltway politics within the intelligence agencies and operates to social practices that the rest of society that pays for their government through taxes has no idea about, like my story about the fraternity seal. To the outside world, the seal meant nothing. But to the fraternity brothers, it was everything; it represented their secret fears glazed over by symbols and rules only they knew about, which gave them the illusion of security in a scary world. And that is the key to beating such groups. If they were secure people, they wouldn’t seek group membership. But they do because they aren’t powerful people. They depend on numbers to hide their timidity as individuals. Once that is known and exploited, they fall apart quickly. Just as the scam of the high priest predicting an eclipse. If other members of the society understand how to read star alignments and know the cause of eclipses, the phony power of the high priest will lose all its influence. Because the power is based on ignorance and group association to maintain that illusion, but once that curtain falls, the power of the secret society is gone, which is where we find ourselves in the modern world. Many high priests are making their livings off secret society membership to rules only they know about. But the public isn’t as ignorant as they once were, because of the vast amounts of available shared information. And because of that and the need for independence in people who are not timid, the powers that have ruled the world in secrecy are desperately vulnerable and not nearly as scary as they once were.

Vote Yes for Issue 1 in Ohio: Something that has finally brought people together in politics

If you are not a dope-smoking, baby-killing, overly sexed loser Democrat, you need to go out on August 8th and vote in Ohio in favor of Issue 1. Say yes to making it more difficult to amend the very great Ohio Constitution. Currently, it only takes a 50% vote from the legislature to amend the Constitution, and radical Democrats are targeting that threshold to impose many liberal amendments to erode away the value of our state in the years to come. Issue 1 makes it harder to amend the Constitution; it will take that threshold from 50% as it is now to 60%, which would quell tempers and prevent radicalism by essentially forcing a supermajority to change anything, which would then be much more reflective of the state, politically. So why now? Why August? Well, it’s been revealed that radical progressives, especially the Soros types of money activism, are headed for Ohio for the November election, and they are looking for some easy victories because Ohio has such a low threshold and that it’s a hard red state now entirely in Trump’s corner, and they want to chip away at that. Ohio is a very conservative state; the radical left needs headlines and is coming for upcoming elections. So that made Issue 1 much more of a priority than it might have been in other years. And it is undoubtedly needed going forward. Some hard years are coming, and the Ohio Constitution needs protecting. There have been amendments in past years, but they flew under the radar because Democrats weren’t thinking too much about that kind of activism, so until recently, there wasn’t as much of a concern. But the buzz is out, and radical progressive Democrats are frustrated and turning their attention to Ohio. And they must be stopped.

But why now, you might ask. Since the Trump time in the White House and the strengthening of the Supreme Court, the radical left has seen a number of reversals at the high court that they assumed would be off limits forever, such as Roe v. Wade. And most of the cases, not just the abortion cases, but marijuana laws and other progressive intrusions meant to either kill members of society or destroy their minds so they’ll be dumb enough to vote for Democrats, have been sent back to the states from the federal courts, the way they always should have been. That is, after all, what the 10th Amendment of the Bill of Rights asserts. Democrats, for most of their existence, have assumed that federal powers were ultimate powers, and if they could erode away the Federal Constitution with judicial activism, then they wouldn’t have to worry about state’s rights because federalism would overrule the states. As if the Executive Branch was a king who could rule by mandate. I don’t know that they didn’t understand the way the rules are in America, but it’s obvious they thought they could change them by threatening to kill or harm Supreme Court members in their homes so that they’d rule in their favor and create case law that would give the federal government more power than it really had. But years of this activism have stacked up, and now we have a Supreme Court, because of Trump, that is willing to give that power back to the states where it always belonged. That’s how we have found ourselves in this present situation in Ohio and why Issue 1 is suddenly needed. This level of judicial activism was always in the background, but nobody really wanted to admit to it, and Democrats wanted to focus their efforts on one state instead of attacking 50 states to create progressive policy. 

Now that the Supreme Court has established a clear precedent toward state’s rights, there is no turning back. And the Biden White House has overplayed its hand several times with Executive Orders trying to bypass the legislature only to be overturned in the courts, the desperation of progressives everywhere, and their money men are attacking states, and Ohio is a big target. If they could strike in Ohio, they could hurt the GOP on a national level, so suddenly, we are getting a lot of attention on the progressive battle map. They certainly want to put abortion in the Ohio Constitution, and they have legislation ready to go on legalizing marijuana. But it only gets worse from there, and if they can desecrate Ohio, a clear Trump state before he gets back in office, they will have achieved a victory that they haven’t been able to get at the federal level, and they are hoping that they’ll catch everyone asleep to pull it off. The best measure to protect ourselves from this kind of activism is to increase the minimum threshold for amendment changes to 60%. Democrats might get their numbers in surge elections, but maintaining that over 50% will be very hard, especially in Ohio. What Issue 1 will do will protect Ohio from short-term activism and protect the long-term interests of true voter representation.

I was proud to learn that many Republicans from my area of Butler County have shown support for Issue 1, and they gathered at the Butler County Board of Elections to make their opinions known. It takes guts for Don Dixon, TC Rogers, Nancy Nix, Mike McNamara, Dan Crank, Mary Swain, Rodney Creech, Sara Carruthers, Thomas Hall, Jennifer Gross, George Lang, Gary Cates, Debbie Lang, Mark Welch, Steve Schramm, Todd Minniear, Tom Farrell, Lisa Mannix, and Greg Wilkins to get behind Issue 1. Even Sheriff Jones and Bruce Jones showed up, which is pretty amazing. It’s hard to get that many people to agree on anything, so for them to put their names next to this issue says a lot about its importance. If you don’t protect the Constitution, then you don’t have any way to protect the values of society, and those are certainly under attack by the radical left. So, it shouldn’t be a hard decision. But that’s how important this topic is. August elections are low voter turnout results every time they are done. So, if you want to protect Ohio from George Soros money, make sure not to stay home that night, August 8th. I might say we should do as Democrats do: vote early and vote often, but Republicans tend to play fair. So that is always a disadvantage. That means every vote will matter, and there isn’t room to sit this one out. Take a friend, vote YES on Issue 1, and raise that threshold for amendment changes to Ohio’s Constitution. Because if there isn’t an increase in the threshold, then every progressive group in the world is going to target Ohio for progressive legislation that people won’t like. And the time to stop it would have long passed. But we aren’t there yet; a simple election can stop their plans. However, it will require people to go vote when there are lots of other “summer things” to do. But if you are a progressive diabolical menace to society who wants to kill babies, smoke pot all day, and live off the government like some pathetic leech, stay home on August 8th and watch something dumb on Netflix. The world will be a lot better off without you.

The SAG Strike with the Writers in Hollywood is a Dumb Idea: But I predicted it years ago, and here it is, which will destroy them forever

The strike from the Screen Actors Guild is probably the dumbest thing we’ve seen in a long time. Many things are colliding simultaneously that will essentially kill the Hollywood industry. Yet, they seem brain-dead and numb to how the world sees them. As I always remind people, labor unions are all communist organizations, so the idea of stopping work through collective bargaining comes straight from Karl Marx. There is nothing “redeeming” or “American” about what they are doing. It’s essentially one set of radical lefties fighting against a bunch of New World Order studios who dance to the tune of BlackRock and the lefties of finance. One of the main reasons that Hollywood is so radically left is because that is what it takes to be one of the elites working in Hollywood. If you are a lefty, the studios might give you work if you are lucky. There are really very few actors and actresses who can make a living off acting in Hollywood. I know from personal experience and have seen this problem unusually close. And many years ago, I saw this collision coming, and here it is. Labor unions make motion pictures and television too expensive for a studio to produce. The residuals of production are too much of a pain in the neck, and essentially, we have arrived at a place where that cost just isn’t worth it to a studio. What it costs to make a movie and everyone involved just doesn’t justify the revenue stream. After Covid happened, this whole mess was exposed. Hollywood would need some kind of reset for their cost model. Yet the actors and writers who are now both on strike want things to be as they have been, which was never sustainable.

I’ve told some personal stories about Hollywood in other places, but not in this context. For most of my adult life, I wanted to be a film director, actor, writer, and producer. It was really the only thing I wanted to do from age ten to forty. And there were many times when I came really close to getting into that line of work. For years I had to pay fees to the Writers Guild and interact with that side of the business, which I didn’t like. Things were less political back then, so the politics of it was less of a concern. But there was one project with A-listers who were doing a project for RealD 3D that I met while at a film festival, as I was providing stunt work involving bullwhips as I was a member of the World Stunt Organization at the time. So they flew me out to Hollywood for a project involving some of the people from the Twilight movie series and Beverly Hills 90210. They gave me my own trailer, so I was being treated as the featured talent on the project with many veteran producers and actors, so I had a chance to see things behind the scenes. And what I learned, painfully, was that Hollywood was not for me. It was the union attitude that I had no tolerance for, and it was at that project in 2008 I realized that I was never going to work in Hollywood because of my disdain for unions. I couldn’t be in them and didn’t want to work with their rules. And the entire town was built on unionized labor. I had several conflicts on that particular project with unionized staff, and it became obvious to me that the unions had taken all the fun out of making movies. 

Ironically, I was there because of my hatred of unions because I was one of the only people in the world who had a very unique skill set that was willing to let RealD 3D screen capture my work, which would then go on to provide animation for films like Ironman 2 and the Immortals. The precise issue that the SAG members are striking on now is concerns over A.I. taking over acting and a loss of revenue regarding streaming services. Many people told me that if I did this project, I would never work in Hollywood again because once you gave the studios what they wanted, such as screen captures of me using firewhips, I would be done as a whip consultant for all future movies. After all, they wouldn’t need a person to perform that since they had all the footage from me that digital animators could then use for future projects. Well, my love was for telling stories, and if I could help make that easier, I was all for it. Many union members were on the set, but it was a nonunion enterprise because it was established as a pitch session. So I was nonunion showing what a potential pitch might do for a studio. The union people were there hoping to tag on to the project’s development. I was pro studio and certainly pro-RealD 3D. And as much as I liked the experience of being in Hollywood and working with people important in the industry, I grew very frustrated with the union mentality on that film set. So, when it was over, I made a decision that I would refocus my efforts. Barack Obama had just been elected; I joined my local Tea Parties in Cincinnati and put my efforts into those types of things. Largely because I witnessed the terrible burden that labor unions had placed on an industry I loved. But the problem had carried over into just about every element of politics in general.

When I saw the reasons for this latest strike of the SAG members being led by Fran Drescher, I knew it was the collapse of something that had been artificially propped up for many years. Movies cost too much because labor expected too many things, and studios had become too liberal over time because of their interaction with these communist unions and their liberal world order masters in finance. Conservative ideas weren’t even a consideration, and those are the people in the world buying tickets. So there was no way that the movie industry and television would last, and this strike would kill them. It will kill Hollywood, and it was a dumb thing to do. But it’s been brewing for a long time, and I have seen it from the other side and knew it would never last. Ultimately it is part of the collapse that is going on everywhere. People will not miss Hollywood. But Hollywood will miss the business. YouTube, in many ways, is far more influential. Some very serious people contacted me a few years ago about my life and wondered why I wasn’t making movies. And I explained to them that the entire industry needed to go through a reset period; this was before Covid. I told them that producing a movie wasn’t good business, and that I was doing other things that made much more sense. If you want to make a movie, you have to deal with unionized labor to get it into distribution, and that just wasn’t worth it to me. I told them that I’d see how things shaped up in the future. But under the union rules, it wasn’t fun, and I wanted no part of it. And now the industry is exactly where I said it would be. This is a sign of what will happen to the Liberal World Order and the Deep State in general. All these communist groups that have hidden in plain sight are falling apart. And the pain of it is their own doing.
