Isaac Adi Gets Violent Again: An Interview with Darbi Boddy

It has been interesting to watch the trajectory of two school board officeholders who essentially started at the same place but took two different paths upon being elected to satisfy the parameters of accomplishment. Obviously, there is more to the conflict this past week between Isaac Adi and Darbi Boddy on the Lakota school board, where the police investigated a condition of assault, where Isaac, yet again under pressure, lashed out at someone trying to record his public behavior. Darbi is a tough young lady who can handle conflicts just fine. But what’s interesting is how RINOs are created because once elected, Isaac went into an appeasement mode of the very kind of people he was supposed to be engaging with, whereas Darbi has stayed faithful to her campaign promises. I talked to Darbi about all this while we were both at a March for Children rally in downtown Hamilton, Ohio. Darbi never advertised herself as anything but a fighter for children’s rights, whereas the same was expected from Isaac. But once elected, what was witnessed was an instant barrage of influencers who often inject themselves into the newly elected person’s life, and the temptation to appease these new faces is powerful, and most people never develop resistance to it. When I see these clips of Isaac Adi acting violently toward people who put cameras on him to record aggressive behavior, I see that conflict in his actions. Isaac is not alone in this problem. Being authentic has a freedom of its own which was quite apparent when I was able to talk to Darbi on camera about her first few years as a school board member at Lakota. You can see freedom of conscience in her because she has stayed true to herself. But others have not, and that often leads to the kind of obvious frustrations on the face of Isaac Adi in the footage of him lashing out at Darbi.

I worked with both Isaac and Darbi during their campaigns because many of us wanted to help Lynda O’Conner have conservative votes to work with on the Lakota school board. We felt sorry for Lynda and tried to help her. Isaac and Darbi essentially ran together as a package during the campaign, and they won their elections easily. But as soon as the election was over, Lynda started talking about controlling the school board members in ways that didn’t sound very Republican. And immediately, the OSBA (Ohio School Board Association) started to do its work; it’s like a club. They invite new school board members into the warm embrace of friendship, and it doesn’t take much for that type of romance to entice lonely people or people with a natural personality to want to please others. Admittingly, that was a concern I had about Isaac during the campaign; he was so friendly and so outgoing that I was concerned that he would find the desire to appease the other school board members too lucrative when conflict was the best approach. One thing that we did talk about that didn’t make it on camera was Darbi’s support network, with Kelly Kohls at the National Leadership Council (NSBLC), which offers an alternative to the support of the more labor-union-controlled OSBA. Lynda O’Conner and I have talked specifically about the OSBA; she thinks it’s a good organization. I think along the lines of Darbi and Kelly on the matter. But the obvious results are in the influences that led to Darbi doing what voters expected on the Lakota school board and Isaac looking to appease all these new friends, which is the game of politics that happens at every level.

As I explained to Darbi, I am proud of her, as many are. I’ve been doing this kind of thing, supporting candidates in many ways, for many years, and most of the time, it results in a dud. It’s like going to the fireworks store for the Fourth of July and buying a bunch of fireworks that never blow up. You have great expectations, but they just fizzle out when you light the fuse. Whereas with Darbi, she has exploded in all the right ways that were very satisfying and surprising. Every now and then, your hopes and expectations are met, which is the case with Darbi. She was not seduced by all the forces that have taken public education in the wrong direction, and that has been great to see. The ratio for me is about 10 to 1. Of every ten candidates I have worked with over the years, you occasionally get one Darbi. Of course, I knew when such an honest person like Darbi, who simply wanted to do an excellent job as a school board member, confronted a system with so much bad behavior in it, and that bad behavior was hidden from the public through friendships that were designed to conceal it; then there would be conflict. I get emails from people all over the country from people who are political moderates who are jealous that they don’t have someone like Darbi Boddy on their school board. I am very proud of her and would love to have three or four more like her, people who could resist the temptations of group consensus at the expense of voter responsibility.

I brought this up during our talk, how one player for the Reds inspired many others to get better. In many ways, Darbi has been that person for Lakota

We don’t elect people into politics to get along, which is becoming more evident in national politics. We don’t expect physical altercations either, but one of the problems that lead to so much corruption is the appeasement of peers, which is at the heart of the problem at every level. At Lakota, at the fundamental community level, we can see two people who started in the same place and quickly went in entirely different directions. From both perspectives, they had good intentions, yet during our talk, Darbi hit the nail on the head; much of the evil that starts in the world of politics doesn’t come from some pitch-forked devil; it’s often the friendly face who wants to buy you dinner and treat you like a king or princess. Of course, they expect something in return. But it’s often hard to see because it feels good to be liked. Some people will do anything to be liked; once others know that about you, they own you. And at that point, elected representatives often go bad when they fall in love with being loved because, just like a manipulative spouse, once they start jerking around your feelings, you lose the authenticity of why people voted for you in the first place. And at the heart of the conflict between Darbi and Isaac, two people who ran for office together and had been friends, is this villain of appeasement. The lucrative nature of being accepted in the warm embrace of friendship within institutional confinement is a nector all its own. And thankfully, in our community, Darbi didn’t fall for it, much to the frustration of those who wanted to seduce her into it. That’s why people tell me they are jealous of us in Lakota because they see the clear value in elected representatives like Darbi Boddy. The controversy only comes from those who want to steer her in a different direction. But she has stayed with the voters authentically, and people appreciate that, as they do with all people who do so. And with Isaac, it’s frustrating when you can’t please everyone, and that comes out in these outbursts caught on camera twice now. As Darbi said to me, she gets tired of how people talk behind closed doors and speak in public. That duality is the source of the problem because an honest person would be the same in any format.

Hiding Evil Behind Artificial Intelligence: Child Sacrifice at Tel Gezer and the modern hunger for more of it

My opinion on ChatGPT A.I. is not very good, I see it as a gimmicky way for lazy people to get out of doing the hard work of thinking. And it shows in the final product. The A.I. programs are pretty good at copying source material, but they are not good at coming up with original thoughts, and I think this will always be the case to some extent. If humans make AI, and not all humans are equal, then those flows will be in the source code, and A.I. will be limited forever in what it can do. Many people think I am using A.I. to write the amount I do. But I wouldn’t do that; I will always be like the Amish to some extent. The quality of the work comes from old-fashioned methods, and even if mass production can produce more, people will always honor and respect Amish craftsmanship. And that will always be valued, especially in creative thought. This is why I thought the story coming out of Bavaria, Germany, was particularly interesting regarding the new concept at a protestant Church to have a complete A.I. service, let by computers. As someone who has studied most of the world’s religions, it is clear to me what is going on and what the World Economic Forum’s support of it is trying to achieve. There is a vast evil at work in the background that has always been nipping at the heels of the human race, and it is finding another vehicle to carry its nonsense in the invention of artificial intelligence. I’m not an anti-technology kind of person, but I don’t ever think it will become far superior to human thought because thinking occurs beyond the digitized ability of computers, which is why the people who think this church service at St. Paul’s in Furth, Germany will replace all human religions because A.I. is smarter and has more profound insight into the mysteries of the universe. The truth is quite the opposite. 

The proposal is that ChatGPT will write a new Bible and that once humans accept that Artificial Intelligence is so much smarter than humans, the old religions will drop away, and this will be how the New World Order run by the Desecrators of Davos from the World Economic Forum will run the world as a centralized one world government. This was always their plan and why they are pushing this church service in Germany as the next great thing. (Why do all these maniacal plots to take over the world always come out of Germany? Some of these guys could use a girlfriend)  Listening to all this, I see the work of that vast evil trying to camouflage itself in society by conceding to a new religion run by artificial intelligence but ultimately programmed by the centralized planners of future communism in Europe run by the World Economic Forum behind the smiling mask of the United Nations. And here’s why, ChatGPT might be able to write its own kind of Bible for a new religion that it makes up, and it may be able to host church services. But it cannot make up history. It can only generate stories. One of the greatest things about the Bible that other religions struggle with, especially Islam, is the validity of their source material. The Bible is rooted in many thousands of years of actual history. It is a window into the world before the destruction of the Library of Alexandria. Much of the Bible can be verified by archaeology, so its merit goes far beyond some simple stories that artificial intelligence could replicate. And in so doing, the same evil that is essentially the struggle of the Bible that is always working in the background would be missed by artificial intelligence, which is the point of the advocacy. This becomes even more apparent when you realize that many of the modern WEF globalists are still worshipers of the same evil that ruined societies in Mesopotamia and all over the Middle East, which Christianity was rebelling against, which presented the Bible, to begin with, as a unified force on the world stage.

All this reminded me of a fantastic article I read back in 2015 in Biblical Archaeology Review about the 1902 dig at Tel Gezer by Robert Macalister, who uncovered a grisly sacrificial site dedicated to the Canaanite god Moloch. The site is quite astonishing as it is a typical “high place” site with 10′ tall stone pillars set up with great effort. These Canaanite gods, such as Baal, Moloch, and Ishtar, were the villains of the Bible. Their work of destruction embodies Yahweh’s anger throughout the entire text. It was common practice for the Canaanites to sacrifice their children to these gods in despicable ways, and this was the justification for the Hebrew people to invade the promised land and take that land from the Canaanites to establish Israel, as we know it today, eventually. Discovered at that site by Macalister were the remains of a young girl sawed in half and placed on the altar. And nearby are piles of bones from similar youth killed in much the same way. The violence that would have embodied such sacrifices to these gods is horrendous, and it’s still with us today all over the world. When you peel back the layers of child sex trafficking, the desecration of children in public schools, and even abortion, we are dealing with the essential evil that drove the Canaanites to sacrifice their children to unseen gods for all the same reasons. 

Of course, this is why the World Economic Forum, a cast of very evil characters who intend evil in the world for their similar religious views as the ancient practitioners of child sacrifice conducted, wants to replace religion with an Artificial Intelligence that they plan to control at the source programming level then sell it to a gullible public as more intelligent and worth following. And in so doing, they hope to hide much of the evil that the Bible exploits, so they can continue to live their lives under its guidelines, the guidelines of villainy and sacrifice to the unseen elements that are always looming with bloodlust just behind the veil of our conscious reality. Yet they make themselves known through weak people dressed up as technological aristocrats and borderless globalists intent on preserving the past religions dedicated to Moloch’s appeasement. Before the Bible came along, the thousands of years of history that are told within it, this was how the world operated, with evil running in the background, and this modern push to return to that anti-Christ sentiment is very much the fuel of our modern news stories, of Epstein Island, of drug cartels, of the kind of information we have learned from the Hunter Biden laptop. The hope is that by trusting A.I. as superior to human thought, evil as we know it can hide in the background without referencing history, such as has been discovered at sites like the “High Place” at Tel Gezer. And without a moral position to consider something as “evil,” there is no human race judgment to stop it. But only to conform to its insatiable hunger, which was the point of the Bible, to begin with. The World Economic Forum hopes to rule over people by replacing their religion with their A.I.-controlled devices of deceit and malice. And everything that is going on with A.I. is not to make things better but to hide what is bad from the eyes of justice.

I’m An Anti-Federalist: I’m never going to sign up for global communism or a life without the American Constitution

Since there is so much talk about revolution, law and order, and proper conduct for people and their government, let’s put a few things in perspective. Most of the people in the world are really dumb. Not because they lack intelligence but because they have not educated themselves and are entirely too dependent on the government education they received as kids and young adults, and their minds are rotten. This was a purposeful excursion into the world of control as the powers of the world have intended. One of the first things I did on this blog site was to establish that a couple of my favorite works of literature are the Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers. I consider the American Constitution to be one of the most important works of philosophy in the history of the world. And that trajectory will continue despite this current globalist movement toward borderless communism led by a new military power in the world, the aristocratic financiers. The trajectory of human experience naturally drives them toward more personal freedom, whereas the power structures using technology to facilitate it seek more centralized control resulting in the kind of divisiveness we see today. When governments try to take people where they naturally don’t want to go, people would have a moral, ethical, and legal right to stop them. I never signed up for a communist takeover of my government, so if a government tries to move in that direction, people naturally have a moral obligation to fight it for the sake of all future humanity.   Because of the poor quality of their education systems, most people don’t know what they should be thinking or doing. They just know what they feel even if their intellectual aptitude has been robbed from them deliberately by these corrupt forces to acquire power that has always been at the heart of the problem. 

When I say I love the American Constitution, I love it as a work of philosophy as part of the evolution of human experience that will continue along that many thousands of years of trajectory. That collision of personal freedom and expression is colliding with many millions of years of human beings clambering to be the village chief of their tribe and the centralized authority of their localized clan. People naturally want to be in charge of other people, even if people as a species are constantly growing away from that primal perspective. But I am not happy at all with the tone of the American Constitution.   I see Federalism to be entirely too restrictive and centralized, which is uncomfortably too cozy with big government solutions. During the debate of the original Constitution, I would not have been happy with the eventual Constitution, as I would have been aligned with the Anti-Federalist sentiment, such as Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr. I live in the town named after the big-time Federalist Alexander Hamilton. But I would not have liked Hamilton. I think the world was done a great service when he lost the duel with Aaron Burr and that the world would be a lot better off if people still settled their disputes with one another with duels instead of hiring a bunch of pansy lawyers to go to court. Courts have been a poor substitution for the restitution of satisfaction. But, I have agreed to live in such a society under those rules, and its that settled Constitution that I have signed up for, even if I don’t agree with much of the big government approach that was in the final Constitution for which we have built our laws around as a nation. History now shows how wise such a Constitution was and how a country could prosper. So, it’s worth defending as written.

However, I view the Bill of Rights as a concession to the Anti-Federalist arguments, which is precisely what they were. I am personally to the right of the Bill of Rights by quite a lot. Much of my personal beliefs are to the right of Thomas Jefferson and other early Anti-Federalists, so what ended up in our Constitution naturally is too oppressive for me as it is. The Bill of Rights, which was added after the Constitution was ratified, was included to appease the Anti-Federalists. George Washington was a Federalist; I don’t talk much about him. He may have done a great job as a leader of his time, but he’s not the kind of person I’d sit down with and talk all night about philosophy.   George Washington was entirely too liberal for me. And that is even more true today for people who do their homework and read the Constitution and understand history; the conflicts being expressed presently are an attempt to reverse the course of the human race back to a dependent culture that runs contrary to the desires of all human beings. George Washington and his buddy Alexander Hamilton and John Adams were good people with roots still in the old aristocracy of Federalist ideas. While they rebelled against the crown’s control over the colonies, they still liked to play dress up and dance with the ladies as military officers. The Anti-Federalists wouldn’t even want the military because they could be used as an oppressive force against the rights of the people. 

This is why the notion that Trump supporters, or any hard-liner conservatives, are Nazis or fascists, or anything derogatory, is rooted in sheer stupidity. All those terms are along the scale of European socialism and communism as defined by Karl Marx and are not even considerations in American life, which evolved from the philosophy of the Constitution and the economic concepts identified in the great work by Adam Smith and his Wealth of Nations. Because global academics have ignored Adam Smith and embraced Karl Marx, that doesn’t mean they were right. All it means is that people trusted authority too much to question what was being taught and not ask the basic questions as to whether it should be taught, as most people would be better off without knowing anything about Karl Marx. But Karl Marx facilitated those immature urgencies in the effort for the village chiefs to retake the primal desire for centralized authority. The work of the American Constitution is what everyone should be studying and using to have successful cultures of their own. But as for global definitions, the political spectrum isn’t along the lines of hard Karl Marx and soft Karl Marx, but no Karl Marx all together. Global communism and socialism are not an option; for America, there is only one law: the Constitution. If we are dealing with a government that seeks to get rid of it in favor of something else if that’s the case, I’m to the political right of the Anti-Federalist types, and the fight will be along those lines. Not in digital currency, run by a bunch of dumb Marxists in Switzerland while debating the merits of cuff links over tea. I’m happy to live under the restrictions of the American Constitution because it has a history of working, even if it drives me crazy with too much-centralized government. But for those who want to get rid of that law, I think the world would be a lot better off with Aaron Burrs and the duels of satisfaction than the brain-dead stupidity of the Deep State bureaucrats. And if they want to go there, that’s on them.

The Global Government Mob: Of course, they want to get rid of Trump to show their power over people

It used to be more common to assume that organized crime ran specific sectors of our economy, and they stayed just a bit out of range to hide in the background. People knew they were out there, but so long as they could live their lives, they typically didn’t know much about them and their workings. But that hasn’t been the case for a few decades. I have a bit of experience in this kind of thing, I used to be personal friends with several hitmen who worked for various mobsters, both in Newport, Kentucky, who had their very aggressive fingers in the Chester Road enterprises in Sharonville in the 80s, and of course, all roads for the mob went to Chicago if you lived in the Midwest. I spent a few years in that kind of life driving them and their girlfriends around town because I was the one who was always straight, so I was able to see how this relationship between the underworld and the common world worked. And how people were killed or prosecuted to take out rivals and how all those relationships interacted with politics. Ironically, I was associating with these people while a slow transition occurred from private sector interactions to where the best way for the mob to operate was by moving into government. And why not? If you want to rob people, then why not get the power to do it legally? From their perspective, it made perfect sense. So I’m not being inflammatory when I say that most of the world’s governments, especially anything coming out of the World Economic Forum and its relationship with the United Nations, are simply a global form of the mob. Not so much run by regional families but an international cabal of conspirators who see themselves as a New Age aristocracy.

And that’s largely why we have the mess we have today; the government has become the new generation mob. Instead of trying to hide their activity from the cops, they simply gained control of the cops. Instead of killing people, dumping their bodies in a river, or cutting them up and sending all the body parts to a grieving mother, they became the prosecutors and even now control the White House. The Biden family is a crime family; that observation goes far beyond political sentiment. Facts support it, and when you can see how the law is protecting those crimes, it’s easy to understand why these types of people want power so much. Because they want to commit crimes and not represent people in a Republic, they are parasites, and this is now a global operation that uses the United Nations as a front group. Many people still have a hard time understanding what happened with Covid, but what must be realized is that the government aligned with big pharma to assist a change state attack by the World Economic Forum in implementing a strategy built by insanity. It’s an evil so vast that ordinary people can’t even get their minds around it, which I saw happen many times in my own personal experiences. People just minding their own business didn’t want to know that the person they were shopping next to in the grocery store just killed someone and put their eyeballs in a jar of olives just as a practical joke. People don’t want to know that people are that evil, which is partly how these international criminals hide themselves in plain sight. But that’s what we are dealing with; the type of people who used to get involved in organized crime now find that the power of government does the same thing for them. They gain infinite ability to commit crimes against innocent people to provide for themselves easy money for their lazy lives. That’s why they are attracted to power because they are too lazy to work for money. So they make a living stealing it, and with the government, they get the power to steal money without a mask but under the laws of the IRS. 

Examples of this were never more evident than in what the American government and its connection to the cabal of the World Economic Forum, the people I call the Desecrators of Davos, than what they are currently doing to President Trump, just for daring to run for president. The tentacles of this mobster monster of government are now easy for everyone to see. They run the media; they run most of politics. They usually run the political parties, not entirely, but by default. The people in these positions don’t see themselves as mobsters. They look in the mirror and see a saint confiscating wealth from people who have it and redistributing it to those who don’t. Jesse James thought of himself as just this sort of equalizer of justice. It should be remembered that he and his criminal brother were Democrats who fought for slavery. But their tendency for crime was masked by their belief that they were Robin Hood types of characters, stealing from the prosperous north and giving it to the disenfranchised poor. They really aren’t any different from John Kerry, who steals from everyone to satisfy his insanity on phony climate science. And now that they have control of this political machine, who thinks they will give all that power back without a fight? 

Trump represents the people’s pick for their government, but what was exposed in the last few elections is that elections aren’t honest. There is too much power at stake to let some busy soccer mom pick officeholders that won’t be friendly to this new mob of global commerce. Of course, they rig elections. Of course, they are going to use the power of government to send a message to the people that Trump can’t save them. They want to put Trump in jail to show their power over people. It’s similar to that scene from The Godfather where they cut off the horse’s head and put it in bed with the target of mob terrorism. They aren’t hiding who they are because they don’t think anybody will stand against them. They own the government and think they own all the resources to terrorize anybody they want; anytime they want to. We’ve seen isolated gangs of evil in the past, such as mentioned about Jesse James and other criminal outlaws. The difference now is that globalism is the new mob because of international finance created by the Federal Reserve, BlackRock, and other malcontents of activism. The internet gives them the ability to communicate and spy on their markets. The media gives them propaganda terrorism to keep everyone stirred up into compliance. And there isn’t anybody to look over their shoulder at anymore. They don’t worry about the cops getting them or the FBI knocking on their door because they now run those agencies. It’s a great gig for them. Left unchecked, the mobs of the world always rise up to take control, which is why they can’t be left unchecked. Now, they won’t be put back into their place without being punched in the mouth in a way that hurts. There is no peace in the world. There is no way to coexist with these people. But they aren’t invincible either. They are very vulnerable once you understand what we are all fighting.  But first people have to admit what they are.

People Want a Winner in Trump: We have a right and obligation to change our government, and elections are the most peaceful way to do it

There seems to be a lot of mystery as to why so many people support President Trump, even with over 70 criminal counts against him, multiple indictments from several states, and is facing almost 600 years in jail. Yet he’s the choice pick for president in 2024 because people get it. They understand what’s going on even if the details are too complicated or evil for them to grasp fully. We have suffered for all too long under the kind of sell-off that Speaker McCarthy just tossed America’s way with that ridiculous debt ceiling deal, an obvious loss to a feeble old man in Biden. McCarthy just signed up, without much pushback in negotiations, to 50 trillion dollars in debt by 2030. Republicans, even with a majority, never do anything when they have power, they are controlled opposition at best, and America ends up losing time and time again to radical leftist Marxists and open warfare communists. The perks are too good in government, and the temptation to become corrupt far too great, and we lose most of who we send to those positions. That is, until President Trump. He’s independently wealthy and can afford to be truly independent. So, he is free from corruption in the way it typically occurs. And people see in him an opportunity to have a real representative in the Executive Branch. They know the government is corrupt, and they have tried again over the years to find solutions to these problems, and nothing has worked except for voting for President Trump. So they are standing behind him no matter what these criminal government conspirators throw at him because they are tired of losing. People want Trump because he is a winner, he expects to win, and they understand that all these criminal indictments are simply a government that wants to take out their rival before they must compete with them in an election that will be harder to steal this time around. 

We are dealing with people who have no respect for American sovereignty and have rigged global politics to their mobster-style governing practices. When people like Jim Comey, the former FBI Director, say that Trump does not follow the Constitution, they mean in the way that they have interpreted it for their benefit. I have read the Constitution many times; I always have a copy near me within a few feet. Two of my favorite books are The Federalist Papers and The Anti-Federalist Papers, so I have an excellent grasp on what the Constitution says, and it doesn’t point to the reality that Comey and this Jack Smith loser think it says, where the government makes up rules on the back of a napkin and then expects society to enforce the laws, they create to hold power. No, the Constitution is all about limiting government and its tempting abusees from doing precisely what this Biden government has been doing. If we were not a country with over 300 million guns in it, growing daily, this government would go door to door as they wanted to during Covid and impose power on people in abusive ways. Just over the weekend of June 10th, 2023, the White House, seeing how they are getting killed with information leaks that directly tie Biden to bribery deals to Ukraine, and China are hoping to resurrect Covid protocols at the White House for no other reason than to exert power because the proof from a lot of investigations is closing in. And the government is doing the only thing it knows how to do; they are exerting power to warn people off coming after them. Because they fight, lie, cheat, and steal power so they can abuse it. Yet the Constitution is designed to protect people from that power, and ultimately, that’s why they are struggling now, to maintain the illusion of power, because they can’t go door to door and harass people, and that elections are supposed to be free, and they have been caught tampering with them. 

Who doubts now that President Trump was removed from office with a government-organized coup in 2020? With all these indictments by a corrupt government, its evident that what we are seeing is an attempted Marxist coup in America by dedicated lefties who work in the FBI, the CIA, and the entire Democratic Party, RINOs who come along for the fun of it, similar to what we witnessed in China, Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, and Brazil recently. Only in America do we have an expectation of Constitutionally guaranteed free speech and the rights of guns to defend ourselves from such ostentatious exhibitions of power. The Marxist enemy that wants global communism through corporate capture and finance expects people just to take it. But Trump is their peaceful resolution to the matter, their attempt to recapture their government Constitutionally from insurgent forces that have now shown their hand. Kevin McCarthy and the House Republicans continue to lose to these globalists losers? People are tired of losing to such people and will vote for President Trump because they are tired of it. And I’ll go on to say that if this election does not represent the people’s will, there will be a lot of trouble. If people don’t have Trump to vote for and that hope for a peaceful resolution is taken away from them, then there will be serious trouble for this government, and the people will have a right to do it. 

It says clearly in the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence signed by Congress on July 4th, 1776, that “whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, (toward personal freedoms of the people involved) it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new government.” With all this talk about the National Archives and presidential acts, and who can have classified information and that kind of thing, you can read that for yourself on the documents kept there. It’s the fundamental right of all Americans. If they don’t like their government, they can get rid of it and make a new one. And that’s the plan with Trump. People would prefer a peaceful end to all this mess, but we are not supportive of 50 trillion dollars and a government that tries to destroy former presidents just because they don’t like them. What we are dealing with in America is a government not accountable to the people it’s supposed to represent, so of course, Trump is at the top of the charts for another term. And people don’t care a bit about the charges a corrupt group of Marxists come up with to attempt to stop Trump. For most people, Trump is better than an armed removal of this corrupt government, and if anybody wants to refer to the National Archives, they are welcome to. It’s the law in America to limit the powers of government. Not to give them a blank check as Kevin McCarthy just did, and the other soft-shelled RINOs in Congress that thought playing nice with communist radicals was more important than representing the interests of the people and losing to them over and over again like a bunch of fools is not it. People want winners, and in Trump, they have one. And they want that kind of person running their government, even the independents. The Biden people and their malicious attachments know how bad they are and what they have been doing, and they are hoping to control the wrath of the people they have screwed over. But not this time. Punishment is coming for them, one way or another.

Defeating Evil Governments: A society with lots of guns and Bibles keeps people free

It’s been a more common occurrence, of course, that I discuss religion. I mean, look at the times we are living in. There is an astonishing level of evil on display here, so it comes my way a lot; what should we do? So, it’s unsurprising that I talk about religion; it has always been a big part of my life. But I have a lot of other things going on in my life that I felt I could talk about everything else without imposing myself on the people around me. I deal with a lot of people with lots of different viewpoints. Everyone knows that I’m morally very rigid, but I am accommodating toward other people, perhaps extraordinarily. But religion isn’t a new thing for me. I never said a curse word in my life until after I was 18 years old. I never drank alcohol until my church pushed it on me to take communion. I despise belching and farting, especially when people can hear it. I’ve never smoked marijuana or done drugs of any kind. I went to church most Sundays of my life until I was about 22. And I stopped because the pastor of my church had his wife leave him, which I never forgave him for. As I said then and still say it today, how do you lead a church if you can’t lead a family? (she got bored with Church life and had a wild streak hit her in her middle years. But I still blame the husband when things like that happen)  Church wasn’t religious enough for me, so I stopped going. I never felt it did a good enough job of fighting evil. I could go on and on, but as a person, I’ve never been a very loosie goosy person to be around. So when all the avenues of evil show themselves for the slaughter, I feel that there is a license to express myself accordingly. 

So yes, it has always come up, I handle religion cordially, but I often don’t impose my views on people because, literally, nobody has the kind of views about a good and moral life that I do, so I’ve learned to keep a lot to myself, just to have speaking relationships with people. But my views are certainly not new. I’m talking about it more now because it literally comes up every day from someone looking for answers. And with all the talk about what’s going on in the world and the level of evil we are dealing with, I have a simple two-part answer strategically on how to defeat our foes that I’m happy to share. It’s why I don’t worry too much about the level of corruption we are dealing with because I have always seen the clear path out of it. Of course, I’m happy to share that self-assurance with anybody who wants to listen. However, for context, even the most devout Baptist minister would find it hard to live with my rigidity religiously. My comment to people who are curious is that evil is struggling to remain hidden, and now they are going all out toward apocalyptic activism. But the trajectory of history is against them, and they are behaving out of desperation because they know it. So, when people ask me about the solutions to our modern problems, I assure them that the bad guys will not win, especially in America, for two very specific reasons, the Bible and gun ownership. As long as those two things exist in America, the government might fall away, but the people will go on as usual. Because we are not ruled, we have representatives. If they go bad, that doesn’t mean all the people follow. Instead, far from it.

I was at one of my favorite bookstores recently in Dayton, Ohio. It has a tremendous second floor, large enough to comfortably throw footballs in, big high ceilings, and lots of open space, and I took a minute to marvel at the religious section. The number of Bibles on display for sale was bewildering, and they are there because Bibles make up a substantial percentage of all books sold. And when people buy Bibles, they read them, so a literate society makes for one that won’t fall for all the ridiculously stupid leftist ideology. The really religious people, the people who read the Bible, tend to make up most of the homeschool movement, which I’ve always been a part of in some way. My children are currently homeschooling my grandchildren, for instance, because the schools are such cesspools of evil, exposing them to it just isn’t in the cards of reality. But I get to speak with a lot of very smart people because they essentially read their Bibles. Reading as an action makes people more intelligent, so Bible reading gives people who do so advantage over those who don’t. And the Bible’s contents took many lives to reach our hands. Every time I see a bunch of bookshelves filled with Bibles knowing that people are buying them up often, I consider how many millions of people died just to get those lines printed on paper for people to read. It’s quite a journey filled with a lot of spilled blood. But printing presses, mass publishing, and a stable economy have made Bibles so common that there is no way to go back in time to where totalitarian governments ruled by ignorance. That is clearly the modern strategy to rule over the world, to keep people ignorant and groundless on morality. But as long as there are Bibles in the world, tyranny will not be able to take over where people read them. That’s why communist countries are so hostile toward the Holy Bible because it’s nearly impossible for them to rule over literate people with beliefs in good and evil. 

But reading the Bible isn’t enough. Throughout most of our history, just reading and sharing certain Bibles, such as the Wyclif Bible in 1384, could put you to death. A lot of people have been burnt at the stake or killed in multiple ways just for reading the Bible or seeking independent spiritual belief, a belief away from the governments trying to impose on people a belief system they otherwise wouldn’t accommodate. That’s why our gun culture is so influential and why they want to get rid of guns so aggressively. Guns keep the government from coming door to door and burning people at the stake because they want to read from the Bible or express their values which go against the lunacy of a tyrannical government. So long as those two things are in a society, the intentions of evil upon a mass culture will fail. In America, currently, the government is failing, but the people are not. This government tries to rule through fear, mechanisms they learned in academia. But the assumption all along was that they could turn America into an atheist nation and a gunless nation. And they haven’t been able to come close on either point. And so long as guns and Bibles are part of American culture, the intentions of the communists, the Democrat losers, the globalists, the gangsters who are now in our government to hide from the prosecutors who used to haunt them, now they are them—all of them will fall short on their objectives because, for the first time in history, people have access to massive self-defense, and the intelligence of the written word, the ability to think for themselves. They don’t need government. But the government needs them. And in times such as these, a way of life that I have been more than prepared for every year that I’ve lived it, the things I have said over all that time are only becoming more obviously true. Keep your guns close and use them to keep reading from the Bible. And if you do those two things and share your enthusiasm openly, the bad guys will lose in this apocalyptic war, which will be fun to watch.

The Fight We Are Fighting: Giambattista Vico’s three boundaries of human thought and the strategy against existence

Of course, we are dealing with an enemy here that I think is best described in the Bible with Ephesians 6:12 “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in the high places.” To my mind, if the apostle Paul and all he had gone through, one of the most valuable statements of any religion ever uttered is that one that climaxed under that statement. Because there is real evil in the world, it exists outside of our laws and order, outside of our nationalism, our families, and our industries. It runs deep in the human experience, and people behave differently when contemplating it. Then in some cases, it runs so deep that it is practically invisible to our eyes, but we can certainly see the intentions of evil and how it interacts with us. And with that in mind, fighting this level of evil can then be elusive.

But additionally, aside from this fine statement from the Bible, we have fantastic philosophers who have come along who provide additional information into the world around us; we are clear about what we observe in our modern political context, the vast evil behind the tech industry, behind global politics that intends bad things against us all. These are things that we used to deal with in religion under the various concepts of sacrifice, where the blood of a goat might have replaced the sins of our existence from the original sin in the Garden of Eden, which I would argue was originally in the United States, during a time long past. We know the Mormons knew of North America and migrated as a lost tribe of Israel to that homeland to escape the pending doom of Nebuchadnezzar. And we know that the sacrificial procedure at Solomon’s Temple was an east-to-west occurrence, to pay reverence to the original fall in Eden, to the mercy seat between the cherubim, which guarded the garden. Humans have been fighting this evil for a long time, and it’s upon us now. And there aren’t enough goats to appease it.

Probably my favorite philosopher in all history was Giambattista Vico, which I found stunningly that my philosophy classes in college found repulsive. Giambattista Vico has done some of the best work in human understanding of the rise and fall of civilizations, which I talk about a lot with the Vico Cycle. I was first exposed to Vico when reading the great James Joyce classic Finnegan’s Wake, which is structured entirely around the concepts of Giambattista Vico’s revolutionary work, New Science, published in 1744. Vico’s book would have certainly have been on the shelves of Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson and thought about when Adam Smith was writing his panicle book, The Wealth of Nations. Much of the trouble we see these days is this vast evil in the world attempting to put human thought back into a bottle so it’s easier to control. But by reading from the minds of people during this period of Vico and the creation of the United States of America during the same century, the long history of the human race and its purpose begins to become much clearer, even if the sentiment of the present looks to be an apocalypse altogether final and destructive. 

One of the big concepts explored in Vico’s New Science is that of the “The Three Boundaries of Human Reason,” the very foundations of all thoughtful enterprise. Because without human thought, can we actually reason that anything exists? For something to exist, we have to have a thought about it as human beings. Other animals of the world experience life as they are programmed at their DNA level. They don’t have an opinion on the matter one way or another. They may feel joy, pain, regret, and hunger. But they do not possess the ability to contemplate their role in such mechanisms as human beings do. And the prerequisites of all thought specific to the human race are divine providence, the moderation of passions through marriage, and the immortality of the human souls attested by burial. Under those three foundations of human thought and experience, we can shape the concept of society. So it should be of no surprise that when we observe society being attacked by unseen forces, but forces using members of the human race as avatars for their destruction, it is these concepts defined by Vico that they are attacking, the idea of something bigger than humans, God, the deliberate resistance to animal temptations, sexual, consumables, social acceptance—then the purpose of a soul merging into the afterlife. The hatching of the egg to become something useful in immortality. By attacking these experiences, the evil of existence seeks to control us to its own ends, and that is clearly the fight upon us now. When we say we must win the “fight,” we aren’t just talking about the conflict between political parties worldwide. We are talking about the merit of these foundations of human experience as Vico defined them and seeking a positive outcome for the human race, which those principalities of evil clearly don’t want.   

We saw this obvious tactic in the discussions of common core in public schools, where absurdities in math were supposed to be accepted. The lack of trust in facts would erode any concepts of “The Three Boundaries of Human Reason,” and sink human thought back into the grips of evil that permeates the universe. Such absurdities would then be part of the political dialogue of the trans movement, that a woman can decide that it is a man or a man or a woman based on their thoughtful assumption, not as their sexual roles intended for procreation and the furtherance of life. By destroying thought then, the mass sacrifice of the human race through abortion, trashed lives, misery, and physical suffering could then commence to the gods as it always did, the original concept of sacrifice as humans have always tried to stave off the effects of evil in the world, through the spilling of blood. Those that consume blood through sacrificial rituals obviously want the unrestricted flow of sacrifice to their existence. The last thing they want is a bunch of human beings who make up good countries dedicated to fighting evil and standing for righteousness to start thinking about other things, productive things. And not seeking the protection of the maleficent to shield them from harm from those principalities of doom which are more common than all the leaves on the trees that currently inhabit the earth or ever have before or after. The way to prevent such evil from achieving its goals is to protect those concepts in the human race, those “Three Boundaries of Human Reason.” To defeat those principalities of evil, as spoken about in Ephesians 6:12, the mechanism to do so is contained in Vico’s observations on the foundations of all human thought. To not achieve such a lofty height, then society moves through the Vico Cycle, theocracy, aristocracy, democracy, then anarchy over and over again perpetually, with the only thing benefitting from human existence being the evil that feeds off it. But the rebellion against that sacrifice is the foundation of all existence, and despite our current observations, we have seen significant progress that is worth fighting for.

My Opinion on the Debt Ceiling: America is bankrupt, and its time to file it

What do I think of the debt ceiling deal that the Republicans just gave the Democrats, the crazy Biden plan for perpetually more spending and a substantiation of more out-of-control costs? Obviously, it was a horrible deal, and a default on the debt would have been far better and would have avoided a lot of pain coming down the road. It was irresponsible to make a deal with the Democrats, Kevin McCarthy got played giving away negotiating points that he didn’t need to, making it easy for the Democrats, and now our federal government has signed up to balloon our national debt to over 50 trillion dollars by 2030. It’s reckless and destructive, but I’ve been warning everyone about it for a long time. Our government does not represent us; it represents globalism, driven by international finance and the Open Border insurgents. This isn’t something that any government that plans to stick around would ever sign up for. This is precisely what Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson were worried about regarding losing sovereignty to the global banking clans, which was very much the centerpiece of his presidency. This deal only helps two groups of people, those who want to destroy the concept of America by choking it off with massive debt and Democrats who want to stay in power by giving away stuff to a voter base and then to pay for it all with interest to those same hostile parties. It’s like a credit card company giving a teenager infinite lines of credit to rack them up in debt so that those same companies can live off the interest rates due to the irresponsible spending. That’s what this debt ceiling negotiation in 2023 was all about. It took the issue off the table until after the next presidential election so that all the current parties could stay in power and keep from having to discuss all this until after the next election, and when we do have that discussion, the next president will be seriously shackled. So, in short, it was a disaster. 

But not a surprise. There aren’t enough Freedom Caucus members in Congress yet to make changes like this, and even some of those were too tempted to play nice with Kevin McCarthy to avoid the bad headlines from a media that was cheering this massive financial destruction. The value of this debate was on whether America would not pay its bills. Instead, it should have been, why are we spending so much money? There just weren’t enough politicians articulate enough to make that point when the headlines were pointing in another direction. Of course, the world wants to make a lot of money off the interest loaned to America and to have politicians in their hip pocket who owe them, like Joe Biden does, as revealed by the contents of the Hunter Biden laptop. This is why all those politicians are rich; they didn’t get that way by doing the right thing, but by selling out their offices to investments, by making policy decisions that were only good for those who put money in their pockets and allowed those politicians to buy mansions, in multiple locations and live a lavish lifestyle. What was expected in return is that all those politicians who signed on to this debt deal would vote in favor of endless spending and debt to provide easy incomes off the interest to those global insurgents. They think Americans are suckers and have no respect for us. If they can all get rich from the destruction of America, then they will be very happy.   And after signing this debt deal, many people are thrilled.

I was surprised to see positive reviews of the debt ceiling negotiations from my congressman Warren Davidson and fellow Ohio congressman Jim Jordon. They thought initially on paper that it was a responsible thing to do to beat the June first deadline artificially created by Janet Yellen. Like most crime families who have been doing this kind of thing for a long time, the Biden administration set a bunch of artificial deadlines to drive the sentiment, and the Republicans fell for it, pure and simple. Once the story of value became all about meeting those deadlines and not reigning in irresponsible spending, the negotiations were over, and that’s what I heard from my local congressman. The value they were working to was simply the wrong one. They believed they were fighting for the right to be honorable in paying our bills. But these are bills that America shouldn’t be paying for. And essentially, all this just sets up a final apocalyptic resolution, a judgment day in the very near future. I’m not signing up for this mess. This is not my government making these decisions. These are people working for hostile foreign intents. The Freedom Caucus is growing and will continue to. Not before we have to have a standoff on the debt crisis. Thirty trillion in debt is too much. I remember when we thought 16 trillion was out of control. So all this is just out of the realm of sanity, and the only way out is a massive global war between globalism and nationalism. 

This only makes President Trump more attractive. He’s personally been through this before with his own finances, and he solved that problem by defaulting on his loans and declaring bankruptcy, and that’s what America will have to do to get out of this massive debt. Of course, the people who loaned us the money, such as China and other prominent bankers, will be upset. They have a nice set-up with collecting interest from America that they won’t want to give up. But America will have to default on the loans, declare bankruptcy, and completely restructure our government, which most people aren’t quite ready for. Yet eventually, that is the only solution on the horizon, and nobody has been talking about it in the media, which makes it worse. There will be a lot of anger once all this hits the fan and people realize the economic impact on their private lives. Really, we should have had hard talks about the debt ceiling way back in 2016. Trump was doing what he does, and that was to spend America into growth, which would have worked if his presidency had not been interrupted in 2020 by a hostile coup by our intelligence agencies. Now the way out is to become the number one generator of fossil fuels, default on these high-interest debts, and renegotiate entirely the trade deals with all the foreign powers. And recognize this financial situation for the military threat that it actually is. It’s about crushing nationalism in favor of globalism. And we will have to flip that script for our own preservation, which will be the hot story in the next election. All this mess could have been avoided if only we had enough responsible politicians in Washington, but we don’t. We have a bunch of sell-outs, and they sold us out with irresponsibility and a commitment away from American sovereignty, and they did not do their jobs. They did not represent me; I can say that. And I’m not OK with the deal they signed; that battle is now on the horizon. And I’m not with them. That’s for sure.

Why Would Julie Shaffer Launch her Re-election Campaign in a Wine Bar: Bad Decisions, bad behavior, and bad politics hiding behind kids

You would think that a person running for re-election to the school board of Lakota would launch her campaign somewhere smart, like a library or even at the local Barnes and Noble bookstore. But no, Julie Shaffer is running for her fourth term, and from all that vast experience, she picked a wine bar to launch her campaign, which was mentioned in a Journal News puff piece by her long-time associate in the media, Michael Clark. I have a long history with these people, so the irony could never be more obvious. Considering what everyone knows about Julie Shaffer, you’d think she would have known better. There was a National School Board Conference a few years ago where she and others got a lot crazy, and she ended up disgracing herself in many ways. I learned about it from people who were with her and tried to help her clean up after the event. But it goes much further than that. All the local politicians know about it and confirmed it in the aftermath. So, I was never much of a fan of Julie Shaffer, but I treated her fairly in the beginning until she showed herself to be quite a left-winged radical with vicious political intentions that, of course, like they all do, hide it behind the smiling faces of kids. However, the more I learned about her over the years, the more she showed herself to be one of the big problems at Lakota as she intends to bring progressive mindsets to the students. She was one of the first to support genderless bathrooms at Lakota before the alphabet sexual deviancies were announced on the news every day as they are now. 

Let’s just be polite about it: Julie’s condition at that National School Board Conference with other Lakota representatives was not pleasant. It involved severe intoxication and various states of undress, according to witnesses who were there and tried to help her. But there’s more, which came out during the latest drama with the former Lakota superintendent who apparently let people know that he had video of it all on his phone, and people were enjoying it. And knowing what everyone now knows about him; apparently, even he was embarrassed by the behavior of the Lakota leadership at that conference. I personally didn’t see the video; I had no desire to, even though it was an option from those close to the superintendent. We’re not talking about a “Girls Gone Wild” video in the sense that everyone was young and beautiful. These are middle-aged, beat-up potato sacks getting way too crazy when they should have been representing the Lakota district as proper education representatives. So just drinking too much would have been too much. Anything after that, which was a lot, was simply unforgivable. The whole video issue came up as many who had heard this story were wondering why Julie was so willing to give a free pass to what we learned about the former school superintendent. The belief was that she couldn’t afford to cast any opinions about his behavior because she had done equally disreputable acts. With all that in mind, it was baffling that she would launch her campaign at a wine bar to remind everyone of this embarrassing event. She’s a seasoned politician now, so she should have known better. But obviously not. 

This raises the real issue; deviant behavior is often more than what you see on the surface. Over the years, Julie has been one of the biggest cheerleaders for progressive changes while hiding the effort behind a non-partisan school board. School boards are very partisan, often filled with radical democrats with big government ideas about everything and an eye toward spending to match it. And we see how she arrives at these thoughts when you learn about her personal lifestyle. Like many progressive big government people, Julie is attracted to an extensive social safety net because she has problems controlling herself. If you want to be taken seriously as a leader of anything, you just never conduct yourself like she was caught doing at a National School Board Conference. When she says in that Michael Clark “puff piece” that “I believe that this is a fight for the heart and soul of a district that has been a destination district for many years but is being harmed by extremism, politics, and divisiveness.” She’s running in a very conservative district with people who care about things like drunkenness, overt sexual displays of disgrace, and lousy judgment. And like a lot of Democrats, she has been hiding her political tendencies behind the unspoken rules of bipartisanship. These public schools are not for the kids, as people like her claim; it’s for the adults to have free babysitting and to act like a bunch of teenagers when left alone in a hotel lobby while traveling out of town. In that article, she said that “this election will be a decision by our community about what they want Lakota to represent in the future.” 

And that’s why her behavior at school board conferences matters to the rest of us, although we may not want to disgust ourselves with the details. While Julie has worked to attack conservative voices in passive-aggressive ways for years, it’s evident that she has been fighting for the disgrace of children, not the preservation of them. And it shows up in her private actions. Then, like a lot of people who are so inclined to Democrat politics, they seek to hide their bad behavior behind big government mechanisms, which then shield them from reality. And there is a cost to all those big government ideas which Democrats use like a mask to hide what bad people they really are when they think nobody is looking. So, of course, they hate people who judge them for what they are. I wouldn’t call it “right-winged politics” as much as I would call it common sense. Anybody who wants to be a leader of anything should know that even at the late hours of the night when the alcohol with friends is flowing freely, it’s best not to participate and to lead by a higher example. I know many people who travel a lot, and they don’t end up in the compromised state that Julie was, where she had to be put back together by fellow school board members after disgrace had already chronicled the event for posterity. What’s even more stunning than all is that she would bring attention to it even during her campaign announcement. Talk about being tone-deaf. This will be a tough campaign for her, but she can only blame herself. She is offering herself as a leader of Lakota schools and is attempting to say that anybody who judges her behavior is a “right-winged radical.” But to the rest of the world, it’s just the rantings of people who can’t control themselves when they leave home. And the same can be said about her budget decisions as a school board member, where the same rationalization comes into play. And the track record is not a good one at all.

18 Years in Prison for the Oath Keepers: Defeating the Enemy with unstructured resistance

Watching the government throw the book at the Oath Keepers, giving their leaders 18 years in prison, is essentially the SWAMP fighting back against those criticizing it. It’s a manipulation of the rule of law that benefits the acquisition of power itself and points to the root cause of the evil that has corrupted our government in extremely unhealthy ways. To see the Oath Keepers and all January 6th prisoners harassed the way they have been is corruption that we have to deal with as a society. To see them prosecuted while leaders of Antifa continue free, waiting for their next assignment from the government to burn down a city block, is preposterous. But it’s also very revealing. We are better off knowing the forces opposing us, how deeply they are rooted in our government, and what their motivations are. And at least now we know. The people who protested on January 6th were mad over election fraud, a process that removed the president they liked from office. I think it says many good things about our society; that it wasn’t worse than it was, and more people didn’t get hurt. At the time, it wasn’t so apparent the amount of election fraud that our intelligence agencies obviously supported to keep the power they had acquired from being drained away by an outsider like Trump. But once the lines in the sand were established, a much clearer picture of what the problems were that emerged, and this prosecution of the Oath Keepers displayed it without any doubt as to the level of evil we are dealing with embedded in our own taxpayer-funded government that has spun out of control with corruption. I wasn’t surprised, however, based on my own personal experiences. 

Along with the Oath Keepers, the Proud Boys have been at the center of many of these Pro-Trump protests and have actually been confronting Antifa in the streets, meeting aggression with aggression. I told some of the story before, about how after Trump was removed from the White House through election fraud, early in November of 2020, I actually signed up for the Cincinnati chapter of the Proud Boys and started the vetting process. My concern was that Antifa would be emboldened by putting Biden in the White House, and we would have to fight these people in the streets. We had seen elements of BLM attempt to organize in Cincinnati, fanned on by area reporters wanting to see a fight in the streets of Northern Cincinnati where conservative politics has collected itself and to harass people in their comfortable homes. Given the kind of aggression we saw from these radical liberal groups, a fight was undoubtedly on the horizon with guns and busted heads as part of the violence that would surely follow. So I signed up officially to be part of that resistance, and I wanted people in the FBI to know that my name was on the list as one of the leaders. I wasn’t playing around; I was very serious about it. 

Over the following weeks, though, I lost interest because it was obvious that some hazing was going to happen, and I’m not a group consensus kind of guy. They used the word “brother” a lot, as they were a unified brotherhood, and that just wasn’t a fit for me. If there was going to be violence against government-sponsored insurgents looking to overthrow our American Constitution, then that was one thing. But I wasn’t looking for a military brotherhood, and we had a lot of conversations about uniforms and the right to wear the colors of the Proud Boys before anybody had been adequately vetted by the group. So I lost interest quickly in that kind of talk. I’m used to being completely in charge when I get into something, and I was not about to prove my allegiance through hazing rituals to a bunch of 30-somethings. And submit myself to some regimented command. I didn’t put up with that stuff when I went to college. Military life wasn’t for me because of those kinds of things. I would not ever submit to a drill sergeant and the regimented ranks of that kind of life. So officially belonging to the Proud Boys and falling into the ranks as an initiate wasn’t going to work for me. And that’s what they were all about. Yet I learned through that process that they were very concerned about FBI infiltration, which is why they did have a vetting process, which was obviously very much a concern. I went through all this before the Ray Epps situation on January 6th. So they were fully aware that the government was trying to join their ranks with spies to manipulate everything behind the scenes. That’s when I knew the Proud Boy thing would not work for me, and I stepped away from the application process. There was too much trouble with officially joining anything; it was wasting my time, which I’m never in favor of. 

The best way to fight the SWAMP and its creatures is with unstructured volunteers, something a structured enemy cannot join and manipulate in a structured way. And that is what was attacked by the Oath Keepers, the ability to create a structured resistance to the evil intentions of a government that no longer reports to the people it is supposed to represent. Structured attacks are something they understand and control through processes. Unstructured attacks are where they are most vulnerable, and that’s why they hate President Trump so much because he is so unstructured. That lack of structure is actually where I am happiest, so I know how to handle things from that perspective. I thought that by joining the Proud Boys as a 50-something might send a message to the FBI to get on the right side of history. And that maybe it might avert a fight in the streets. But what became obvious was that it was too late for that. This is why there are prosecutions now where the book is being thrown at these Oath Keepers, J6s protesters, and Proud Boys who have suffered dramatically since those days of my application process. The bad guys control the structure of political society, so you never want to attack them where they are strongest. You want to attack where they are weakest, always. And in this case, it’s in their desire to rig the system in their favor and defend the ground they control, Washington D.C., the coastal media, and the courts. I met many well-intentioned people while I was joining the Proud Boys. But their vulnerability was in the structure as the FBI set up and controlled it. Instead of planning to defeat the globalists forces behind Antifa, most of the conversations were about trying to root out spies from the government sent to infiltrate their ranks and rot the whole effort from the inside. And that was only possible by controlling the structure itself. That wasn’t how America would be defended from these hostile forces. If you play that game, then the system is rigged to defend the SWAMP from scrutiny. And that’s precisely what has happened to the Oath Keepers. Their only hope is that President Trump will be re-elected and can give them a pardon, which is the plan. But before that can happen, the structure that the government uses to protect itself has to be eliminated. And that will not happen by attacking where they are well prepared. They must be hit where they aren’t, which is why I’m not a member of the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, or any organized group. And never will be.
