The Arrest of Trump in Georgia: It’s all about saving Marxism from a second term of a very popular and successful president.

The critical thing to know, especially about this latest indictment where they are taking mug shots of the people they are prosecuting in Fulton County, Georgia, and passing them around showing power over the people, is that this is not an exercise in law and order. It’s purely a display of how Marxism has moved in and taken control of local prosecutors, and it’s an overt attempt to destroy the American Constitution in all the ways that communists have always wanted. America was never a racist nation, but now you can see clearly what the strategy has been all along, not just in one place. These communist prosecutors reveal the plan from the beginning: to infiltrate communities of color with Marxism and undermine our society behind a mask of racism. And that is certainly the case in Georgia with Fani Willis, who has obvious ties to Marxist groups. This is an assault on American justice, not a result of it. It’s the culmination of what Saul Alinsky wanted to perform after all that he learned from Al Capone’s mob for the Democrat party early in the last century—using communities of color to usher Marxism in ways that would never occur naturally. They are disguised as something else to force acceptance of such a hostile political mechanism. Nothing about these prosecutions has justice in mind or the preservation of the American way of life. The intention is 100% hostility, and now that there is a global communist push and all these types of people have been put in place by people like George Soros, they are making their move. They always intended to abuse their power, and now it’s on ostentatious display. What they are trying to do to people like Trump is no different than when Lenin took over the radicals in St. Petersburg and overthrew the Russians with a minority of the population into a communist state. They attempt to do the same thing, using people of color as their mask for their real intentions.

My man, Rudy, when these guys hate you, you are one of the good guys.

This didn’t just happen. And it’s not Trump’s fault. Trump has been the people’s pick to say no to this invasion, even if the attack has come in a form that most people don’t recognize as an attack. When we say “attack,” we think of tanks, troops, and airplanes. This is a military attack by hostile foreign invaders; only the effort is hidden behind the intentions of the World Economic Forum and their investors of billions of dollars into communities of color, which have been happening for decades. And it certainly goes back to the start of Barack Obama’s political career in the living room of a known American terrorist, Bill Ayers in Chicago, with his partner in crime, Bernadean Dorn from the Weather Underground. They were known terrorists who had been caught in the act, but they had Marxist sympathizers who propped them to the top of political circles, and they have been trying to undo America since their pot-smoking sixties as the insurgents that they were. Barack Obama’s entire presidency was meant to undo America, and he is still working in the background, just as those old Weather Underground terrorists are to this very day. It’s not an accident that all these prosecutions of Trump are coming from communities of color as if local prosecutors and their charges against a President of the United States will hold up in the Supreme Court. They don’t care because their entire effort is terrorism from Marxist radicals meant to disrupt the election of 2024, no matter what they must do. Even with more than 100 indictments against Trump, the conviction of any of them is not their goal. It’s all about trying to stop Trump and his supporters with their support of capitalism as an economic value.

It’s the same attack Bill Ayers and his wife used against America as kids. It’s the one that was behind the election of Barack Obama. Obama always had problems with his birth certificate and other background elements, which we were never supposed to look at because he hid his Marxist terrorism behind the mask of racism. They made his candidacy all about proving that America was not a racist nation, and they accused because it was always Republicans who freed the enslaved people who moved the country toward an open society. Who stood for justice for all. The Marxist radicals who had infiltrated all the college campuses sought to erode the nation’s foundations with phony attacks of racism, which they used as a military attack. And it has been going on so long that people can’t remember when that wasn’t the discussion. The tension is not normal; these Marxist groups have provoked it. Many people of color support President Trump; these groups have attacked them. So, it was never about race. It was about forcing Americans to accept Marxism into their communities and the eventual erosion of the Constitution, which was always their target. It was never about race relations but about exploiting them to attack the nature of American society in favor of Marxist insurgents.

When criminals seize power

And those elements of society who hide in the background, as Obama is still whispering in the ear of many radicals working in the FBI, CIA, and other Beltway partners who all want the same thing: more centralized control, more communism that gives more power to the government so they can do precisely what they have been doing to innocent people in Fulton County, Georgia. They fear a second Trump term because it would destroy all their Marxist efforts. During his previous time, Trump stated that America would never be a communist nation. There were lots of people in on the 2020 election steal and for a whole lot of reasons. But lingering in the background was this fear of communism being pushed out of America for good by a populist president. Of course, they went to their terrorism playbook and devised the phony COVID protocols meant to force Marxism onto people hidden as health advice. Or ballot harvesting behind made-up COVID rules to allow cheats to occur in Marxist-controlled big cities, such as Philadelphia, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Atlanta. These are not typical American cities; these are areas controlled by Marxist policies hidden behind the politics of skin color, just as Obama’s entire political efforts were. They were never interested in uniting as a nation. They meant to divide and destroy America. They don’t want the preservation of America in any way. They intend to overthrow it. And they have shown now for all to see what they have been up to. And they are way beyond the point of no return. These arrests of Trump supporters and Trump himself have nothing to do with justice. But everything to do with Marxist domination over our judicial culture, and they are using that acquired power to their full effect while they still can because, for their survival, they must stop Trump in any way possible. And all the areas they have controlled, through politics, the media, and the legal system, are being exposed now in their hatred of Trump. What was once hidden behind the mask of racism is now revealed for all to see. And for many, it is scary how much penetration into our culture that these Marxists have been able to utilize. But it was always the case. Only now, people can see it for themselves, and Trump is their only way to normalcy.

Love Trump, I’m with him completely

Trump is the Hand of God on Earth: The long fight against the prosecution of free people is finally coming to a climax

This persecution of Trump is not a new thing in the world.  It always happens when dynamic challenges confront stagnant orders.  The most obvious example is when Christ was persecuted and killed for his challenges to the static order of the day.  But we could say the same thing of Joseph, son of Jacob, whom God had renamed Israel.  Or the Apostle Paul, who was killed by the Romans who continued the preaching of Christ around the Mediterranean to the point where they killed him.  Or even Socrates was killed in Greek society for corrupting the youth with his words.  People being killed for challenging a static order filled with corruption is the story of the human race, and President Trump is the most modern example.  It’s not unusual for what is happening to him to be happening to someone who is a challenge to the established order.  The only real difference is that most of these occur regionally, but the Trump case is genuinely global.  And the process is always the same, made-up charges, weaponization of the legal system, and the implementation of a death penalty.  That is what Democrats are out for in America, but more than that, much of the world is rooted in communism, socialism, and all elements of general globalism.  Trump is a threat to that order, so the powers that have been corrupting our lives in the background are showing their presence by coming out against Trump.  Trump is the most famous person on Earth and is prepared to handle this prosecution, as they have always been looming in our lives in terrible ways.  Yet what’s different this time is that someone like him is coming out of America to challenge the world in ways they never have before.  This time, as opposed to all the biblical and historical figures, there is an assumption that Trump has a right to challenge those forces, making the panic ever deeper.

It’s not just that Trump is having all these grave injustices done to him, such as the arrest in Georgia for doing nothing but trying to run for office again.  I have said it often, the anger is that the established order has been picking our representatives for us for years, and Trump is truly a representative of the people.  They know Joe Biden didn’t get 81 million votes.  They knew they cheated in that election.  They know what they did during Covid.  They know what they are doing in Ukraine and many other places.  And they are being caught.  And their only option is this desperate prosecution of Trump, just as many have been destroyed as they emerged in history.  I particularly like the story of Joseph, the favorite son of Jacob whom his brothers sold into slavery in Egypt.  He was jailed for several years and essentially sentenced to death.  But Joseph had a particular skill, interpreting dreams, and he did rise to the top of Egyptian society under the care of Pharaoh, who had come to love Joseph.  And the tables were turned on the brothers, and the people of Israel flourished until the next pharaoh found them a threat to his power.  That’s the motivation behind most of these classic stories.  Threats to power must be destroyed.  This time is no different, only now it is the efforts of globalism for communist domination of the entire planet that is at stake.  And Trump and his first term scared that power to its very foundations.  And we are witnessing how scared they are by what they are doing to prosecute Trump and his supporters in obvious ways.  I see Trump, as I have now for a long time, as an instrument of God to destroy these powers and that much of what we are witnessing is a divine history meant to kill that vast evil on earth.

And why not, why not Trump, out of all people?  I think a look at Trump’s life now, in hindsight, makes a lot of sense.  He had great success in enduring what is happening now, to have the personal resources not to be like John the Baptist and be arrested for the pleasure of the powers ruling the day.  Trump is too big to stop and throw in jail to rot away until some wealthy socialite pleads for the head of the cousin of Jesus to be presented to her for all the vanity that evil would bathe in.  Trump isn’t perfect; he’s on his third marriage and has made many mistakes.  But then again, remember King David, who wanted to sleep with a woman who caught his eye, so he sent her husband to war to kill him so he could be with her.  Or what about King Soloman, who had so many wives, many of them worshipers of Baal?  God seems to shake his head at these shortcomings but forgives them so long as the primary objective is fulfilled.  And Trump fits in perfectly with these historical characters.  But this one is different because it’s global, and it is happening under the American assumption of free speech, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights that protects our society from such incriminations.  The communist globalists, of course, want to destroy the American way of life and the laws of the Constitution, making Trump the most crucial element to that preservation that has ever appeared on earth.  

Recently I couldn’t help but draw the comparison after Season Two of Chosen, where Jesus was having his famous Sermon on the Mount.  It reminded me of a Trump rally.  Of course, the popular show Chosen is a modern interpretation of a scriptural story of significance, and the current Trump rallies might have influenced the director.  But it indicates how this story of human need is as old as time.  When people see that someone is breaking down the static order that is suppressing them, which Jesus was doing, by the hand of God himself, they will crawl through broken glass for that person to shatter that suppressive static order.  And we know that because of the events that occurred over the next 2000 years.  We can see the hand of God at work again on a grand scale, not just a persecution for a speech given at the Sea of Galilee, but the words of Trump have reached every corner of Earth.  And just as the powerful forces of Roman society watched Jesus’ speech with fear at the power being displayed, we are watching that same persecution unleashed yet again.  But this time, we aren’t talking about Christ being crucified, Socrates being poisoned, Joseph being sold into slavery and killed in prison, or John the Baptist having his head cut off.  This time Trump is running for president to gain control of the free world as our direct representative, and he is too big of a personality to be prosecuted.  The public wants him to represent them on the world stage.  And it’s beautiful to watch.  The reason for America being created in the context of history is to unleash a person like Trump onto the world to destroy these tyrannical elements once and for all.  We had to have a fight because we have always had it.  Only this time, we have a country in America that expects to win, not for the forces of darkness to prevail.  Because Trump is just the right personality for this task at hand, and it’s wonderful to see and witness such a historical moment that thousands of years have been building up to this precise culmination.

Covid Part 2 is Coming: Government is desperate to protect 2030 objectives and they don’t care who gets hurt in that process

You must understand what’s at stake here to grasp why Covid is coming back, these radical communists and socialists throughout the world have set gigantic social targets for the year 2030, and the re-election of Trump in 2024 will destroy those plans.  So, they will do everything to stop him, including returning to the playbook that worked before, releasing another version of Covid from one of the many bioweapon labs around the world, as they did in 2020.  But this one will be deadlier because the criticism from the first time was that Covid wasn’t deadly enough.  So, this one will kill more people, and they will do it because they got away with it before, four years ago.  That’s right, Covid, as I have said repeatably since that time, was a manufactured crisis, which the government seems to be doing a lot these days.  It was a “plandemic” not some act of nature.  These are bioweapons by a hostile regime of global communists who will do anything to get power and stay in control.  Anything.  And they’ve thrown everything at President Trump to stop him from running for President Again, and he keeps getting more popular, and they are in a bit of a panic now.  Joe Biden is just their representative in the White House.  He will do whatever they say, but Joe Biden is not in charge.  The script has already been written and leaked from several government sources.  Covid is coming back because they have no other choice, and it’s coming in September of 2023.  And by December of 2023, ahead of the election year, just as it was done in 2020, there will be new lockdowns and isolation rules much worse than before because it’s their only chess move, and you can bet they will make it, no matter who dies in the process.  These people should have been punished after what they did in 2020, but they weren’t.  And now that they got away with it, they are coming back.

Alex Jones has a reputation as a conspiracy theorist, but he’s often very right when he says something; it comes true eventually. I explain Alex Jones and myself, for that matter, with Robert Persig’s concept of the “Metaphysics of Quality.” Some people in life, the best leaders for that part, are those making decisions in the front of the train. But most people like to make decisions in the back of the train, where it’s safe. To justify why they are too chicken to live at the front, they call those who aren’t afraid conspiracy theorists to explain their cowardness. It’s a psychological problem, not an indicator of truth. So even though people might not like the big-time wrestling type of delivery that Alex Jones does when reporting the news, that doesn’t make his content any less relevant. And he has been told by a TSA contact that he has, as well as others, that the timeline for the Covid protocols has already been floated down through the ranks as led by the Biden administration. At the same time, these reports hit the marketplace, it was reported that the Biden administration will gear up for a return to the vaccine policies in September. Consistent with the timeline released by the TSA agent. Like before, everything related to Covid, or whatever they call this one, has been preplanned and politically motivated. It has nothing to do with health or nature. It’s all about instilling global communism as it rolls out to the door of origin, the World Economic Forum. And Trump threatens their agenda, as do his supporters, who they know are a majority in America because they also know what they did to commit election fraud under the guise of Covid to steal that 2020 election. And they are willing to do it again.

For those involved with state legislatures who thought that Covid was never coming back, here it is, so they’ll have to start working to get in front of the story. Not to stop the virus. Like a nuclear bomb, it’s out once Covid is released as the bioweapon it is. People are going to be harmed, and they will die. There will be no social distancing to stop it. There will be no masking that will prevent the spread. The only thing that the masks will do is show submission to those who control the virus outbreak. And this will always be a danger until those people are punished. Until then, we’ll have to live our lives and prevent panicky governors like Mike DeWine in Ohio from trying to shut down our states again with ridiculous rules of voodoo science. The goal is to disrupt the election of 2024 just as they did in 2020 by keeping people home and using mail-in ballots because people would be unable to vote in person. These bad guys know there is no way they can keep Joe Biden in power unless they change how people vote. Too many people now understand how the election of 2020 was stolen, and that information is much talked about as more and more evidence is stacking up. Joe Biden and his family are in trouble with corruption. The economy is horrendously bad. There isn’t anything that the Biden team can claim a victory on going into a critical election year in which they have tried to stop their political rival, Trump, in every way but physical assassination by all the powers of government, and Trump is still poised to win most of the states if Democrats don’t get control of the election counting process. So, they are going all in on Covid as their 2024 strategy.

There are no plans to put Biden on the campaign trail.  He’s going to hide in his basement like they did before.  The media will do most of his heavy lifting, and they need an excuse why their old man can’t stay awake for more than a few hours a day, so Covid is their only option.  We never had free and fair elections, at least not in a modern sense, and now that people are waking up to that situation, the only way to control elections is behind a massive crisis, a manufactured bioweapon made in a lab with government money to keep the government in power.  And the World Health Organization is already printing the press releases using Covid Part 2 as that weapon.  So the most essential thing that can be done now is to take away centralized power from the health directors in the various states to keep the economy and people constitutionally free.  If there are court cases that need to happen to challenge state power, we need to be ready to launch them early instead of a year into it like last time, after so much destruction had already taken place.  The constitution is not suspended during a crisis; otherwise, the government will continue manufacturing a problem to perform illegal acts.  And going into 2024, that is the only way to approach it constitutionally.  People must be able to vote, and the vote counters must be monitored carefully.  And no amount of death and mayhem caused by these globalist powers, under World Health Organization communist crises management, can be allowed to alter that process because they fully intend to for their survival.  You have been warned, use it to your advantage.

Remember When Eddie Was Going to Marry Myrtle for $10 Million: How Larry Fink Bought up the whores of corporate America

The latest news about Best Buy intending not to hire any white managers falls under the term I like to use for these things, which is quite accurate, that they are latte-sipping prostitutes. And that is how Larry Fink and many others have managed to take over the world while everyone was sleeping. Or, to put it more accurately, doesn’t everyone remember the episode of Family Matters where Erkle’s relative Myrtle, the very ugly woman that her father was paying a groom 10 million dollars to marry, turned out to be a disaster? Yet Eddie, the person who was set to marry Myrtle because her father couldn’t find a husband for her any other way, because she was so ugly, declared that he had ethics and standards. That is until the father indicated the amount of money he’d be paid. Which he then said, “OK.” Ahhh, the power of easy money, the scam where the Federal Reserve printed a bunch of fake money based on Modern Monetary Theory through quantitative easing and dumped it into Wall Street to filter and distribute. People like Larry Fink at BlackRock, being the political activist he always wanted to be could then buy up majorities shares of stock and impose on those corporations liberal standards that nobody would ever vote for. Yet through the power of money and the tendency most people have toward whoredom, companies like Best Buy, and even Chick-fil-A will dance to the money that people like Fink control because, like Eddie, it’s all too tempting to take. And that is how the biggest scam of the modern world was born globally, and especially in the United States. Freedom sounds great until someone dangles a lot of money in front of your face, and at that point, like Eddie from Family Matters, financial security tends to make whores out of the people who think they have the utmost in integrity.

I have always been hard on the Latte Sipping Prostitutes that are so common in the world. I understand why Oliver Anthony has turned down the many record deals for his “Rich Men North of Richmond” song, which is currently making quite a splash across America. A corporate deal comes with strings. My wife and I have crossed that juncture many times, and every time we have turned away vast amounts of money to maintain our personal freedom. Freedom is more important to us than the cosmetic things that come from physical wealth. So, my opinion about people who sell out easily is rather harsh. Having something that people are willing to pay for is only part of the story. Maintaining personal freedom while making money is much, much harder. And those who sell out might make it big, but then they also end up with some boss like Larry Fink running their lives with political activism, which is far more common than you might think. When we talk about RINOs in politics, this is usually the cause of their condition. They want to be Republicans but end up compromised somewhere along the way. They have whored away their integrity and are no longer free to make their own decisions. So they have to bend the knee to some political radical, like Fink, who gained all his power through an alliance with the government to print fake money to have fake power, to do what government never could do on their own, and that is to use that fake money to make whores out of business titans and make them dance to the fingertips of corruption and malice. Most people are like Eddie in that Family Matters episode. They say they will never take the money until the money is in front of them. Then they take the money and sell away their freedom.

Biden is the distraction. The real villains hide in the background.

The next corporate trend will be the lessons learned from this time when so many people were suckered.  Eventually, in that Family Matters episode, Eddie’s girlfriend stops the wedding and prevents him from making a big mistake.  Perhaps in America, that is what Trump is doing for corporate America, saving it from a terrible marriage to the World Economic Forum.  Larry Fink has been Myrtle, the ugly woman that the dad, (the Fed) would pay anybody any amount of money to marry, only to give them ultimate control over every part of your life.  Including what color the members of management have to be.  Too many dumb CEOs took the easy money and sold out their companies to globalism concepts because it initially looked good.  But the catch was misery in losing control of their very lives to those paying them the money.  It’s not good to be a whore for money because people are too lazy to do things the old-fashioned way.  I don’t have much respect for people who sell out.  I never did, and I had plenty of opportunities to do so, including several chances last week.  The kind of money you could retire 20 times over with.  But then, to take the money, you lose all your freedom.  Freedom is far more important than just financial security.  Just like the whore could do lots of things to make money.  But selling your body just for someone else’s gratification is pretty lazy.  And that is exactly what most CEOs in the world today have been caught doing.  And the world is far worse for it.

The Best Buy story came and went; it wasn’t a very enticing story, because so many people are guilty of doing exactly the same thing.  Now that BlackRock owns so much majority share of corporate influence, what would their CEO do, complain to the press, the same press that has BlackRock owning most of their majority shares?  Most people have sold out to the easy money because they were too lazy to make money the old-fashioned way.  And through hostile corporate takeovers by BlackRock and others who received money from the Fed’s fake printing press, they did like Eddie and said yes to the dad.  “Yes, I’ll marry your ugly daughter for $10 million.”  For many, looking back on these last few years, I think they regret it.  There are a lot of Best Buys out there who might otherwise be bankrupt if not for BlackRock money propping them up to lead the corporate front with woke politics.  While the consumers shake their heads at the lunacy, the real villain has been the tendency of people in charge to whore themselves out so easily.  Which my term, I think, captures so accurately.  There are a lot of people who would gladly sip lattes at Starbucks and complain about their lives rather than to take proactive steps to make their lives better.  Easy money for them looks enticing, and it opens the door for the real scammers in the world, people like Larry Fink.  If people weren’t such whores, Larry wouldn’t have had so much easy success.  But he has, and they are, and that is why the world is the way it is.  However, I think there will be a lot more Oliver Anthony types in the future.  And far fewer Best Buys.  Truly the best measure of a good economy isn’t how strong the corporations are, built off phony wealth, but in their personal freedom to create upward mobility for their employees, incorporating the greatest personal freedoms.  The lessons have been tough, but perhaps we are finally at a point where we’ll have fewer whores running our economy and more integrity from those who see value in more than in printed goods or digital currency but in the quality of a life driven by freedom for the betterment of all.

Lakota Fed Too Many Birds: The latest scheme to get rid of Darbi Boddy

It’s interesting how people behave or think that their sneaky plans might resonate within their bubble of a network. And how social media can give the illusion of a reality, such as this fascinating perspective from Skippy on this GOP posting regarding the Lakota school board member Darbi Boddy. There is a compelling strategy going on that is worth talking about, and what is essentially happening within the GOP in Butler County, which has made the apparent turn away from Trump, is a desperate desire to turn the party back into the centralist party that it was back in the John Kasich days, and when John Boehner was Speaker of the House, a local guy that people thought represented conservative values. All this has worked in the background to determine if Lynda O’Conner, the current school board president, should be endorsed by the GOP as she has before. But in her behavior against Darbi Boddy, a truly MAGA Republican Party representative, many Democrat-minded types are employing a new strategy to attack Darbi with the illusion that she doesn’t have public support. And if Skippy and the gang aren’t in your corner, then you are on the wrong side of politics. Yet it’s the same old shell game, and this time, what is going on is that the Lynda types who have behaved as a monstrous liberals wearing the mask of the GOP is turning all their problems against Darbi Boddy, problems they caused entirely on their own as a warning never to support someone like Darbi again, otherwise bad things will happen. Just to set the record straight the West Chester Tea Party has not endorsed Lynda; they personally called me to ensure me despite the community buzz to the contrary. Lynda has been a disaster on the Lakota school board. But for now, let’s stay on this exciting and diabolical scheme.

This kind of thinking causes so many problems, and why politicians never do what they should be doing.

Currently, many ex-employees from Lakota schools are planning big lawsuits against the district because it has been a “hostile” workplace, and they have had to leave, from their liberal perspective.  And the blame for a lot of this hostility is directed at Darbi Boddy, who has questioned a lot of embedded liberalisms at the government school, and they don’t like that she exists.   So the emerging plan is to sue the district, blame the school board, and settle the cases so that the perpetrators get paid, and the school board can then blame Darbi to rally fiscal conservatives against her to say, “look how much money she has cost the district.”  And while all that is going on, the political moderates who want their party back, the same kind of people pushing for Ron DeSantis and other alternatives to Trump, want their Republican Party back.  So, suppose the district gets sued for millions and millions of dollars, and the lawyers in the background are licking their lips as if they were about to eat a great steak. In that case, the blame can be placed on Darbi for resisting the natural order of things, which is to lay at the feet of the radical leftist teacher’s union and their diabolical schemes of doom emerging from the Democrat Party.  And many of those who were faking conservative values to get elected or stay in the political cool kid’s club are hungry to snap back to some moderate middle ground with outright Marxism tilting the measurement scale. 

Lakota could win most of its lawsuits, past and present. But they are too lazy and have other ideas that end up costing taxpayers enormous amounts of money.

I was recently out at the Grand Tetons in Wyoming, and they have a lot of signs everywhere warning not to feed the bears.  Those warnings are similar to the signs in many parks and public places warning not to feed the birds because if you do, they’ll get used to the easy food and flock toward people whenever they see them, making a general mess of things.  And the bears out in the Tetons start getting very aggressive when they see people, and they will attack, hoping they’ll get access to easy food.  Well, that is what the school board at Lakota has essentially done, they have a habit of settling lawsuits too quickly when they should go to court and fight it out, and the word is out among all the radicals that Lakota is an easy-pay day, so they are planning legal action based on that observation and the lawyers are all too happy to facilitate.  This is part of a larger legal lawfare strategy that is going on around the country, which is most evident in the Trump indictments.  The soft-shelled Republicans see this trend as a way to get rid of a much more conservative representative on the school board and to warn the community not to vote for them anymore because they cost so much money in the community.  And, of course, liberals are always looking for an easy-to-exploit taxpayer scheme for social cases that advance their radical leftist agenda.  So suddenly, all these people are focused on getting Darbi the same way that the same maniacal characters are trying to get Trump.  You don’t see a lot of GOP leadership fighting to prosecute Democrats like Democrats are charging Trump.  That’s because they are all friends, just as they are in a local community like Lakota.  It’s all a scam, and the taxpayers are the undeserved political pawns. 

Of course, someone had to stand up to the baked-in progressive radicalism in the government school of Lakota, and Darbi has been that person, thankfully.  This strategy of going after school boards that do not lay down at the feet of raging Democrats within the teacher’s union will become a national trend.  We are only seeing it so early in Lakota because the GOP, in many respects, has joined the Democrats in their joint hatred of Darbi and the more significant MAGA movement that they hope dies before the 2024 election.  So with Lakota having a reputation for easy payouts, of course, all the disjointed types of ex-employees see an opportunity to sue the district, get a lot of money, and the board can publicly blame Darbi.  But the real cause of the problem was that the school board fed too many birds, and now they are flocking around dumping excrement on everything looking for easy money.  And that comes from incompetence; this school board seeks legal advice for everything, which costs money.  Yes, the lawyers have gotten very wealthy off the Lakota taxpayers.  It’s not because of Darbi.  It’s because the school board lacks the intellect to think for themselves, and they throw lawyers at all the radical behavior the teacher’s union throws at them.  And the only method they utilize to deal with political pressure from the Marxists is legal advice and legal settlements.  Anyway that doesn’t involve complete compliance to the radicals will result in hostile legal action, as we see at Lakota, not because of the merit of the cases but because they know the GOP has not stood behind Darbi the way they should have, and their endorsed candidate in Lynda O’Conner has led the way, their goal is to pay out the settlements, throw Darbi under the bus, then go to the taxpayers with a tax increase hoping the public never votes for someone like Darbi ever again.  But as usual, all these characters are not reading the political tea leaves correctly, which will make for an exciting future for everyone.  Essentially, they didn’t listen and fed the birds when they shouldn’t have, making a real mess of things in the process, and we have what we do now.

As Usual, People Trusted Government and They Lost Their Lives: The Marxism behind the Lahaina wildfire

I’m proud of the people regarding the terrible fire in Lahaina, Hawaii, on the island of Maui during the summer of 2023.  Early in learning why a raging fire broke out that destroyed the entire town and so far killed entire families, with over 500 people wiped away from their lives, credible people were sharing videos of some beam weapon that was igniting the fire, aggravating its spread.  So from moment one, many people were not falling for the narrative that a raging fire had just burst out and destroyed the entire town.  The sirens didn’t go off because the government official feared that people might be scared and run into the fire in the hills surrounding the city.  And the loser in charge of the water to fight the fire was afraid that he might upset the “water spirit” by using it for such a catastrophic event.  Virtually everything about the Lahaina fire that destroyed the entire town resulted from some government pinhead and stupidity, and people have learned from Covid not to trust the experts.  Because the experts are usually bought and paid for and serve other kinds of powers, such as the World Economic Forum.  Immediately people assumed that the fire had been started by some nefarious characters who wanted the town for some other purpose, which obviously would be revealed in who did what with the land in the aftermath.  Bill Gates had a house near that location that wasn’t touched by fire, and people noticed it.  People were asking the right questions in the devastating aftermath, where we are today.  We should expect to be lied to by an incompetent government.  And when there are major disasters like this one, we should look for who profits from the demise because there is probably something to it.

But at the very least, conspiracies about motivation are not needed here.  Asking hard questions is healthy, and the answers are likely harder to digest.  But we know that significant incompetence was on full display, which is the most dangerous aspect of the fire and the government meant to protect the town’s people.  We live in a time where the experiment of the Administrative State, as much as we might complain about it when they are slow to get us a check from our tax returns or answer our complaints about some service they are in charge of, has failed and failed to the point where they are just openly dangerous.  There isn’t much of a core competency we can trust about an administrative state government and its slow-minded, lazy employees.  This is a shame, but it’s a glaring reality in 2023.  It always was to a large degree, but this is different.  People seem finally ready to admit that they’ll never hear from the government, “I’m here to help.”  Instead, they’ll hear, “I’m on my lunch break, I’m working from home because of Covid,” or “I want more money to sit around and do less work.”  The liberal playbook of Marxist environmentalism is doing the same thing to power companies worldwide.  In my state of Ohio, I have talked explicitly about the FirstEnergy problem, where radical politics has attacked any politician who has tried to have a relationship with them.  The radicals want to get rid of nuclear energy and are trying to put that power company out of business and force them to say uncle with renewables, solar, and wind.  And that looks to be the same kind of case at this massive fire in Hawaii.

The experts, the same kind of experts who told us not to take Ivermectin to treat Covid, which turned out to be disastrously lousy advice, have indicated that the electric company in Hawaii may have had poor infrastructure and that a spark arch might have been the cause of the fire.  And as bad as that sounds, if it’s true, then the reason is even worse because it’s evident that the operational money that should have been going into improving their grid was instead going into the hole of renewable energy because the tentacles of liberal climate science are all over this catastrophe.  They caused problems, and once there was an emergency, they failed to warn people of the danger or give them the tools to fight the fire.  The evidence points to a new kind of warfare where the government can completely manipulate circumstances to fit the desires of their fundraising needs.  Suppose a wealthy donor wants instant oceanfront property for some nefarious reason. In that case, the government can burn down an entire town using the justification of green energy to displace everyone so that they can destroy the property, sell it to some investor for dirt cheap and blame it on some excuse created by the minds of a bureaucratic administrative state as the cover fire for lawsuits.  And nobody will ever figure it out, “they think,” because everyone is too busy trying to get a good ESG score to notice.  Rather than providing good power to the needs of the people, this power company in Lahaina, Hawaii, was more concerned with environmental compliance than the needs of the people they were supposed to serve, and the results have been devastating. 

In every layer of the failure, from the power company to the government agencies in charge of crisis management, we see that cultural Marxism, with various degrees of communism and socialism sprinkled throughout the Administrative State, can be traced to bad centralized policy that does not serve people.  It has made people victims of it, not benefactors.  And when people die due to the government’s actions, immediately the narrative from the media is to underreport the crises deliberately.  Who needs conspiracy theories when it’s so overtly apparent that the government, a collective body of lazy, liberal employees, is just dumb?  That the cause of the fire was dumbness, whether nefarious or accidental.  The wrong ideas persuading the bad economic objectives put the people of Lahaina, Hawaii, in danger and destroyed many lives.  We live in a time when we can’t even trust the water meter reader.  That government activism destroys an affordable kilowatt hour by power companies because they are more worried about appeasing Larry Fink at BlackRock and their environmental terrorism.  When you give dumb, lazy people as much power as this modern age of government official working for an incompetent administrative state has, their mistakes will be deadly, and the aftermath catastrophic.  Like everything that the government touches, disaster follows in its wake, whether it’s the teaching of kids in government schools, to the license bureau; listening to the authorities is an excellent way to get killed and lose everything you’ve spent a lifetime trying to build.  Governments and their Marxist sensibilities are destroyers and certainly do not have anybody’s best interests as their priority, which was never more evident than in the aftermath of the Lahaina, Hawaii fire.  Aside from any nefarious World Economic Forum intentions, the real problem was incompetence and having the wrong people in bad positions to make all the wrong decisions. Purposeful or not, the results were a disaster for innocent people who were guilty of trusting the government too much and have now paid for it with their lives.

Vote No on Recreational Marijuana in Ohio on November 7th: The world needs more shepherds, not more dope smoking sheep

There are few things I hate in the world as much as pot, so now that recreational marijuana will be on the ballot for the November 7th election, 2023, I will be an emphatic NO.  I’m against marijuana use in every way possible, especially recreationally.  I don’t care if you can make a rope out of it or clothes.  Marijuana is a horrendous drug.  I have about a third of my family members who either have used it or are using it.  Some for medical reasons because they have chronic pain, and my answer to them is all the same.  My relationship ends with them once they use it, which has been the case no matter who they were.  There are many things I can overlook, personal failures that I can sympathize with.  But the purposeful destruction of a mind is not one of them.  I have always been in the camp of capital punishment for drug dealers, even if small quantities might end up in the hands of kids.  But even further than that, I also feel that way about users.  Marijuana is a poison intended to decrease how a brain works and is detrimental to the human race.  I don’t care how natural it is. I’ve heard all the excuses about it making people “mellow.”  That the Indians used it and that its nature’s way of chilling out the world.  No thanks.  It didn’t help the Indians very much, and for what it did to them, bad people today want to do to the United States, which is the ultimate goal behind the mass destruction of America by its enemies.  The drug culture was a purposeful poison introduced to our country because nobody wanted to fight us on the battlefield after World War II.  So they plotted to ruin the minds of the youth, and the results are what we see today, several generations of people compromised by the drug.

I’ve never been a “libertarian,” a do-what-you-want-at-all-cost kind of guy.  I’ve always been a slave-destroying Republican promoting capitalist economies and an intellectual society smart enough to vote.  This live-and-let-live crap is for the birds.  If I smell marijuana, I get furious, even if it’s in my backyard.  I have gone to war, which is well chronicled in many courtrooms, police reports, and mayor’s offices over the last thirty years, and my thoughts on pot have never wavered.  I suppose my hatred of marijuana started in school as I watched kids in the back of the bus pass joints around.  It made them look stupid, and they were glad of it.  Then I saw a few Cheech and Chong movies which they seemed to want to copy, and I didn’t think they were funny in the slightest.  My earliest thoughts on pot are that it was a weapon given to American culture to poison it, and my observations have proven this to be the case over time.   I’m not unrealistic about marijuana; trying to find people who feel the same way I do about it is about as realistic as looking for a virgin in a whorehouse.  Just about everyone has at least tried it once or used it at a time in their lives.  Depending on what’s going on with people, they may come and go in their use of it.  The result is that most people don’t have strong opinions against it because they can’t afford to.  Well, I can.  I’ve never used it.  I have been in many bloody fights over it and was successful.  And I’m not changing my opinion about it now.  Once I find out that someone uses pot, they are dead to me, no matter who they are.

Marijuana is a poison meant to rob people of their intellect, and I would go as far as to say that it has no redeeming value.  Humans are supposed to be thinking creatures with dominion over nature.  Not a bunch of slack-jawed hippies stoned at a music festival.  Recreational marijuana use is an appalling concept.  If it doesn’t pass this time, it likely will in the future because many people out there are too weak to stand up to its temptations.  But there is nothing good about intoxication, not even with alcohol or prescription drugs.   And as I told a family member a few weeks ago, you don’t take marijuana under any circumstances; I don’t care how much pain you are in.  You fight through the pain and preserve your intellect.  I don’t care if marijuana is in a vaping condition or a little pill; you never take it.  It is a weapon of war against human civilization and was always meant to be that way.  I have lost many friends over my opinions about marijuana and am glad to have lost them.  I had some really close friends with whom I had gone through a lot when I was younger.  I went out to a movie, and when I returned to my apartment, I smelled pot in my bedroom, where I had a little parakeet bird.  While I was gone, they had tried to get the little bird stoned.  I moved out and never spoke to any of them ever again.  That is just one example.  Many similar situations go back to my essential hatred as a kid in watching how stupid people behaved when they used it and how it was a celebration of a lack of intellect.

I don’t care if Shakesphere smoked dope or Albert Einstein.  It doesn’t matter who it is; if they smoke dope and advocate for marijuana in any way, medicinally, recreationally, or historically, they are dead to me.  I have been let down by just about everyone in my life at some point over pot, and I’ve heard it often; maybe the problem is me.  Do you want to be the only one with such strong opinions?  Well, the answer is yes.  I would rather have nobody in my life and keep a strong intellect completely marijuana free than accept such a device to have a few worthless friends and family members.  Marijuana is the weapon of choice of people who want to control us, and they understand that using the drug lowers society’s IQ in general.  It slows down people and their thinking and makes them dumber.  And for me, that is the worst attribute any community could embrace.  So, I am a very emphatic no on recreational marijuana in Ohio.  I’m okay with that if I’m the only one who votes against it.  I will never accept pot in my culture and will work against it constantly.  Legalizing drugs, especially marijuana, is a race to the bottom by dumb people who want to hide their timidity in the collectivism of mass culture.  The more stoned people, the less guilty they feel for being diabolical losers.  That’s why they say, “Don’t judge.”  Well, I say, judge and judge often.  And don’t be a loser.  And the recreational use of marijuana is a choice to be dumb and to turn off your mind when the goal of existence is to think and create.  Marijuana is the opposite of those things, and once a state accepts it as a part of its culture, everything goes downhill. That is certainly the case for states that have already legalized it.  You can tell the moment you cross over their borders.  It would be terrible for Ohio, especially when companies have to deal with brain-dead employees who miss work too much and feel that they don’t have to pass a drug test to maintain employment.  Marijuana causes nothing but problems and should never be legalized in any way, shape, or form.  Anyone who advocates for marijuana consumption as a country, a state, or a personal right is attempting to destroy the consumer. The world needs more shepherds, not more sheep. And marijuana is for the sheep, those who would be herded to the slaughterhouse, which is just what the enemy wants.

The Fourth Trump Indictment: Remember when Mark Twain said, “If voting mattered, they wouldn’t let you do it”

At this point, the fourth indictment of President Trump into a Georgia prosecution of election tampering in Fulton County, which is Atlanta, run entirely by Democrats, is a joke.  As if the first one in New York wasn’t already.  The way to view this is in much the same way that Fidel Castro and his communist friends overran with force Cuba at gunpoint, and hostility to impose their will there.  Or the way Mao did in China.  Or Lenin did in Russia.  Or anywhere in the world where communism has been tried.  That is what is going on with these prosecutions of President Trump.  Trump said communism would never be in America, and they are targeting him aggressively, the factions of government that have already converted to socialism and communism, desperately, to remove him from politics for precisely that reason.  This is the new kind of civil war battle that modern warfare utilizes and the battlefield is the Bill of Rights.  The communists want to abolish the American Constitution and the concept of America in any form. At the same time, Trump Republicans want to preserve the nation’s sovereignty and end the communist plans.  This mess started with Barack Obama launching his political career in the living room of Bill Ayers, the Weather Underground terrorist, and his wife, Bernadean Dorn, and it is still Obama and his handlers of global communists who are moving the mouth of Joe Biden.  Trump is the peaceful resistance to these forces, and it’s wonderful that he’s willing to go through all this on our behalf.  He doesn’t need to, but because he is, this long-established communist plot to take over America is being revealed for seriousness that it never otherwise would have received. 

Trump will fight the law, and this time, he’ll win, and they will lose badly.

The Fulton County case from the very liberal activist there charging 18 Trump allies, including the President himself, over questions regarding election fraud that certainly did occur in that state during 2020 is a deliberate attack against First Amendment speech and is a desperate attempt by the communists to create caselaw that they can then use to gain control over mass society.  They know the case, like all of them will, be overturned in the Supreme Court, but their goals are purely desperate and short-term.  The intentions have certainly startled people into the level of activism that has always been present in these government positions.  This idea that a local prosecutor, in any case, will be able to reach into the presidency at the federal level and prosecute one-third of the government is preposterous.  But so were the communist takeovers in Cuba, China, and all other places in the world at gunpoint.  This judicial attack is no different, and it’s meant to be audacious.  They don’t care if it destroys America in the process; that is their long-term goal.  They have nothing to lose in all this because their goal is destruction.  Under the American system of law and order, the Constitution will win out in the Supreme Court, but this is just another leftist attack, a Cloward and Piven kind of thing, overwhelm, overcome, and destroy.  The political left has been doing these things since Russia infiltrated their party early in the last century, and the KGB was poisoning the minds of the youth on college campuses to destroy their parents’ country from the inside out.  These Georgia indictments are meant to upset conservatives and scare them into compliance.  It’s a page right out of the communist playbook that is now well-established in the world.  And they think it’s funny because they don’t expect anybody to punch them back.

I think it’s great because it shows what I have always said was there.  Out of desperation, the bad guys show their cards in ways political moderates and independents need to see.  I’ve been telling them for decades what was going on, and they didn’t want to believe it, including all these Ron DeSantis supporters.  Or anybody who thinks that Vivek Ramaswamy or Mike Pence has a shot.  It is funny to hear them talk on the campaign trail as if Joe Biden is some formidable opponent or that Democrats are a real opposition in American politics and that only they can win over independents in an election because President Trump is such a divisive figure.  Everyone, Trump won more votes than any other president in the history of elections in 2020.  And Joe Biden was given 81 million votes through massive election fraud.  Our government has been selecting presidents, not electing them by the people’s will.  The 2020 election reminds me of a famous Mark Twain quote.  I love Mark Twain quite a lot, “it’s not the voting that’s democracy, it’s the counting.”  Or “If voting mattered, they wouldn’t let you do it.”  These were risky endeavors in the time of Twain, and they certainly are today, with global communist insurgency being the goal of the World Economic Forum and their puppet president Biden, the criminal thug bought and paid for by the Chinese Communist Party.  I said to my wife as we watched coverage at the Fulton County courthouse that they wouldn’t release the documents until everyone went to bed, the same way they stole the 2020 election while everyone slept so that psychologically, the news would already have spread around the world and people would have to catch up to it the following day.  When we say the system is rigged, this is the kind of thing that we mean.  It’s predictable and occurred just as I said it would. 

The shock is good because it proves that people like Mark Twain were right to be skeptical of government and the acquisition of too much power.  Now that some of these people, like this prosecutor in Fulton County, Georgia, have abused their power behind what would typically be a polite façade, the public in general, the voting public, can see just how serious this situation has been for many years now, and can do something about it.  I think the Deep State has shown its cards out of desperation and that we can have a fair election if we take away their ability to cheat.  But, for most of our lifetimes, the heart of these cases being thrown at Trump and all of us is that they have always controlled our elections.  They never mattered, and now that 2020 happened, and these people have been caught cheating because the will of the people wanted Trump, they are turning to threats.  They never honored the American Constitution.  They were always intent on giving us communism, slowly.  And Trump has forced them to speed up that process.  And now they have shown their hand to the public a year before the next election, which is good.  It would always take something like these Trump indictments to wake people up.  He looks perfectly capable of handling the pressure.  In the long game, this essentially proves Mark Twain right in his skepticism about the Democratic voting process.  And what happens as a result of this will strengthen the country because it has awakened all those who were sleeping.  Then at least, we can all agree on something, and that is that we want to protect our vote because the government has come to think it’s in charge because they have controlled the voting outcomes for most of our country’s existence and they are losing that control now, with these Trump indictments.

Taxation is No Different from Human Sacrifice: Governments desire more than anything to be worshipped like gods from the past

There is a good reason that taxes should be viewed as evil.  We’re not talking about the maintenance of a government to do the work of its people that it represents. Instead, modern taxation has more in common with religious practices and pagan rituals than it does the practicality of a healthy society which should concern everyone.  When a government demands that you pay your fair share, they are demanding sacrifice to them in the ways that people sacrificed to the gods, hoping to win them over in some primitive way.  Because the government wants to be your god, they are jealous of the other gods you may worship because they desire to be all-powerful as a collective entity.  In that way, a government is not unlike the cells of a body that serve a single entity, working together without concern for individual input so that the collection is then worshiped as its god.  And the taxes you pay to it are like the goats and humans that societies would kill with blood offerings to appease the insatiable hunger of that god and its evil intentions.   The concept of taxation came from the same minds that used to sacrifice their first-born son to the alters of Moloch and Baal.  Or the farmer who would hire a prostitute in front of his wife to appease the sexual perversions of Ishtar, hoping that it might rain and that he could bring in his crops.  Taxation in the modern sense is no different, and it’s just as effective.  The progressive tax act of 1913 was a compulsory evil that forced all people to sacrifice their income to the gods of government or be punished, and it set America off in a disastrous direction.  It took several years for that disaster to be fully known, but the modern result has been nothing short of a destructive society that is no different from the superstitious stupidity of the Aztecs, or the Maya, cutting out the hearts of their victims to appease the god, Huitzilopochtli, the hummingbird god of Aztec culture.

We tend to think of the people of the world who built exotic temples for their gods only to kill their people in dedication to the gods’ hunger for blood and death as primitive.  And we might snicker at their ignorance just as we pay extraordinary amounts of our income to the taxation of our governments.  And the result is just as stupid.  In our modern sense, we have transferred the concept of god to government, and tax replaces human sacrifice for appeasement.  And just as Aztec culture in the reasonably recent past would sacrifice thousands of people to Huitzilopochtli in a single night to the point where the temple steps were slippery with blood, and the people being killed would mindlessly follow the obedience of the god’s desires, we pay taxes to the god of government with the same mind numb ambition.  And it wasn’t just pagan gods, but Yahweh himself who demanded quite sophisticated sacrifices, whether it was the firstborn son of a real wife in Isaac by Abraham, or the design of King Soloman’s temple to be oriented to the east, and the high priest would kill a well-prepared goat then carry it into the Holy of Holies to sprinkle it upon the Ark of the Covenant where the laws of Israel were placed to appease God in ways we might find barbaric today.  Yet when we receive communion, we receive at church the body and blood of Christ as offered at the Last Supper and before the son of God was killed in a crucifixion.  The idea of sacrifice to the gods is hard-wired into us, and the government has grown to exploit it and become a new evil. 

China certainly sees itself as a god; its government wants to be worshipped as the collective incarnation of a deity where all the people are to serve it.  It’s to the point where they don’t even want to acknowledge the gods of any previous civilization.  There is quite an effort by the Chinese government to deny its history and prevent people from reporting on it because it wants to be the exclusive god of modern people.  And like most gods, it’s a hungry one that demands the sacrifice of the things they value to appease its insatiable appetite.  And in many ways, the World Economic Forum has adopted this position as a modern manifestation of the ancient gods of Mesopotamia.  The gods of the cosmos and the worship of planets, such as Venus, have changed names and removed the face of identity to make the worship seem less barbaric.  But instead of the blood cults of Kali in India, or the perversions dedicated to Baal in the Middle East, or the ripping out of hearts at Chichen Itza in the Yucatan peninsula, the human mind has never overcome this desire to appease some deity that it considers superior.  And the World Economic Forum wants to be worshipped in its way as a government of governments.  A god that unites them all, the world’s nations, to the same spiritual sacrifices that gave power to the gods in the past.  Taxation is just another form of human sacrifice, a recognition of supremacy for the sake of devastating power.  If a person wants to continue breathing, they will do what must be done to appease that power for the sake of sheer evil. 

I recently provided a definition of evil appropriate to the modern mind.  Evil is the destruction of something that is created.  So, of course, any form of human sacrifice to a deity is evil because it destroys what is designed to appease a god’s desire to abuse and consume.  And as mindless as most people in government are as to their role, they act by this ancient desire for appeasement with the same moral conviction.  God is hungry and wants to consume, making us all part of a vast evil.  By confiscating the wealth of culture toward the sacrifice of its value to some mindless concept of god is to play in the same destructive elements that drive the Vico Cycle worldwide, the eventual collapse of all civilization into that endless wheel of time that causes the rise and fall of all societies, of known history, theocracy, aristocracy, democracy, and anarchy.  The cause of social failure always points to the consumption of its value in the form of sacrifice to a deity that never appreciates it because the belief of its appeasement is considered the act beneficial in some way that has never been defined.  The ultimate seduction of power is that government be treated with such reverence that its people would sacrifice to it everything they value.  And in such a way, people would recognize the power of government and those who make it be.  Progressive taxation was one of the evillest concepts ever to be introduced to a society of any kind and is just as sophisticated as having a policy of killing humans and ripping their hearts out to appease a deity who otherwise could care less and can never be made happy.  So it is also of taxation and the things that can be done with that confiscated wealth that solidifies the government’s ego toward global domination.

The Law of Fallow Ground in America: Corporations and Communist Governments are not in charge and never will be

One of the reasons I enjoy my time around Fast Draw Shooters, as a sport, is that most of them have reverence for old westerns and the values of the gunfighter instilling justice against bad guys as typically defined by a social dedication to the Ten Commandments.  I was at an event in Cleveland this past weekend, and we had a friendly little discussion going on about the moral erosion that is obvious to everyone.  Now these events are fun because everyone is armed with guns, and we wear our gun belts all day, and nobody thinks anything of it. It is productive because it puts me in the right frame of mind to discuss these things.  And I reminded people that the world isn’t as different as it always has been.  I reminded them of my report from traveling around the world that most countries, including England and Japan, love American Westerns, especially old ones.  If you turn on the tv in those places, you will constantly find a lot of old American Westerns playing.  Hollywood changed along the lines of the BlackRock view of radicalism that has caused much of the modern trouble.  But people are still people, and they always will be.  And I told these old gunfighters what I’m about to say to you, dear reader.  Never forget the Law of Fallow Ground, which, if you are a farmer or know farmers, is the deliberate rotation or avoidance of planting crops into the soil to allow it to replenish its nourishment.  If you keep growing the same crops in the same parcel of land over and over again, the product that comes out of the ground becomes compromised and much less efficient. 

I told those old gunfighters that America was going through just such a period.  For many years we planted good things in the ground of capitalism, and the return to society was fantastic, and the world clamored to be a part of it.  Our old westerns were reflective of that culture.  People always did love them, and they always will.  The decision not to make those Westerns by a radicalized leftist culture of communist sympathizers run by financial tyrants is a kind of Law of Fallow Ground in the greater scheme of things.  This is a period in America where we are letting the soil rest.  For too long, Americans got used to everything coming out of America being good.  It will be again, of course, the yearnings of the Trump administration and his supporters represent that hunger.  But the world needed a break from what America produced because they didn’t appreciate it when they had it.  People are seeing how good those crops were and having conversations like the one I was having with those gunfighters, talking about how messed up the world is now, they are getting hungry for the good stuff.  They should have appreciated America when America was producing good crops.  They are not happy with this Fallow Ground period.  And when America is great again, maybe they won’t take things for granted as they have been.

I was getting a hamburger just north of Columbus, Ohio, at a Hardees, and I caught a conversation with a woman with the cashier complaining about how high the prices were for fast food these days, and she was shocked.  On the store sound system was a station playing 80s greatest hits because music isn’t very relatable these days, just like the westerns that used to be expected on television.  Occasionally something good comes out in entertainment, but most of it is garbage compared to how it used to be.  The people at that Hardees were far from political people, but they missed the excellent ol’ days when fast food was cheap, great music came out every week, and people had a generally optimistic view of things socially.  Human potential was celebrated, and American culture cultivated it in everything from hamburgers to pop music.  This was never more obvious than our plans for a Disney trip with the grandkids we had been planning for a while.  I have personally been very hard on Disney.  When I think of Disney programming, I think of Davy Crocket and the Zorro television show.  As a little secret that I don’t usually talk about, I was deeply inspired as a kid by the Zorro television show, and it’s no accident that my life as an adult reflects those values.  So despite all the woke garbage that Disney puts out now, I want them to see the amusement parks while they are still there.  Yes, I predict they will be gone in the not-so-distant future.  They will not survive this Fallow Ground period because they took people for granted.  People are moving on since Disney no longer represents those classic American values.  I have been shocked by how badly Disney has fallen on vacation planning.  Their brand damage is substantial and unrecoverable.   They haven’t planted anything new for a long time, and their crops are stunted, wilted, and not consumable.  So, they are dying.  Ten years ago, planning a Disney vacation was a much different experience.  They are almost begging people to visit now, which they never used to.  But in many ways, what is happening to Disney will happen to every American corporation.  This plot to collapse capitalism into a communist centrally planned society was destined to fail from the outset. 

Just because people see a barren landscape and that the Law of Fallow Ground was imposed on a culture by a hostile society, such as the levels of Marxism we now see injected into the American economy by radical leftists; the unfortunate answer is that we needed to let this happen so that we could restore greatness to the soil of our economy.  Giving the soil time to rest by allowing other things to grow, mostly garbage has been good because people will appreciate the good stuff when it returns.  And it will return.  Companies like Disney will likely be gone forever, as will many companies that have tried to take advantage of this Fallow Ground period and grow weeds in our gardens.  But once pulled and cleared, many companies won’t be there any longer.  But the values of our culture, shown in all those American Westerns which people worldwide appreciate so much, will return in whatever form they grow into.  And as I told those gunslingers, the values are still desired.  Because communist corporations have tried to plant weeds in our culture, people will tire quickly of their offerings and want a restoration of the good stuff.  So I don’t see all this depletion as permanent.  It’s a trait of the Law of Fallow Ground.  It’s a necessary period that people need to gain an appreciation for what America has produced in the past.  Once our culture makes those things again, people will appreciate it more because now they will have seen the option.  When Zorro was on television for the first time, produced by Disney, people expected a good society that understood why that show was essential and enjoyed.  Now they see the benefits and want more of it in the future.  The lesson is that corporations and communist governments are not in charge.  The market economy is the desires of people and values that most represent them.  And what we see today is just the Law of Fallow Ground, and the good crops from that ground will return.
