The Evil of Parkinson’s Law: At the heart of all inefficiency is the human tendency to procrastinate

If you want to destroy a culture, teach them all the wrong things, such as Parkinson’s Law, that the time to perform a task will fill with the work to be applied.  It’s because of Parkinson’s Law that we have timers in sports; otherwise, the game would be boring because the pressure to perform would be nonexistent.  But the human desire to procrastinate is ever-present, so when you leave it to them to come up with what they think they can do, or what they want to do, they will tend to take up all the time that is available to do it.  So when we talk about the efficiency of something, the biggest villain in the world is probably Parkinson’s Law.  When we talk about government efficiency, we are talking about schedules and fulfilling the needed work to complete them on time, or ahead of schedule.  If left to their own devices, however, people will pad their part of a schedule to the point where, by the time everyone does it that’s involved, suddenly you have grotesquely long lead times and a horrendously inefficient processing.  It has always been bad, and the basic task of any management system is to push people out of their comfort zone and achieve things faster than they would otherwise do.  That’s why there are 2-minute drills in football: to get the most done possible in a short amount of time.  Without that pressure, the game wouldn’t be very exciting.  If we asked players how much time they needed for something to get done, they would ask for weeks to achieve a touchdown.  However, the pressure of time and its management are what make the game exciting.  Without it, things get boring really fast.  And that is the biggest problem we have in the world right now, Parkinson’s Law. 

If you have dealt with the government, no matter what city you’re in, you’ll know that parking garages are very busy from 8 am to 9 am.  It’s hard to park in a parking garage in any downtown area during that busy time of the day.  But by noon, the parking garages are nearly empty, and by 3 pm, most everyone is gone home for the day.  Government workers seldom do much of anything before 8 am; by 3 pm, they are almost non-existent.  This came up recently when some people in government were trying to explain to me the lead time to approve a submission to them, and they indicated that they needed another 27 days to perform the task.  The pressure to perform on time was not even remotely present in their lives, and they resented the question even being asked.  Their attitude is that you’ll get it when you get it and be happy about it.  It’s the kind of thing that I complain about regarding BMV stations all the time.  Government workers have been taught that functioning under timed pressure is something not required of them and that it is actually a work benefit not to feel that pressure.  So, no wonder it takes so long for the government to do anything.  And because we use the government to teach our people, the government has taught our society the same dumb stuff, and now our entire civilization uses Parkinson’s Law to avoid the stress of performance in every industry.  We still enjoy timed performance in our sports.  But for our professional lives, we use it to full effect as a passive aggressive hatred for doing jobs that we’d rather not do, and because we are forced to make a living by performing work, we have used Parkinson’s Law to remove the demands and stress of having to do too much work and buy ourselves more leisure time because bored people in the world are miserable specimens of existence and want to shove that misery onto other people because they resent having jobs in the first place.  And that lack of passion has killed most of our industries, from drive-thrus to hospital visits.  Everyone these days involved in schedule making is using Parkinson’s Law to avoid doing hard work, and it has virtually killed most industries.

Behind Parkinson’s Law is the communist labor movement that is anti-management because they are anti-time.  They have sought to remove management from all processes by selling the idea that the workers own all work and that management and ownership are greedy capitalists and must be removed from the process at every level because management imposes time standards that compress schedules.  In a typically slow place of business, you will find unionized labor at the heart of the problem, you would be hard pressed to find any that perform efficiently.  They encourage companies to hire too many workers to overstaff themselves because the time of opportunity to utilize a workforce entirely is limited by rules like an 8-hour work day, only 5 days a week.  Weekend work is almost unheard of, and the unions want to take credit for being less productive.  Some tricks can be used to shake them off this foundation, such as Lean Manufacturing, which Toyota has used to significant effect.  But most of that is because the Japanese people’s work ethic and management systems do not yield to Parkinson’s Law, and their culture avoids it like the plague.  But generally, Parkinson’s Law is not just a disease of the mind, as most people think.  It’s a disease of society.  You cannot talk about making a process efficient if you do not deal with Parkinson’s Law.

One of the truly great innovations of our modern society has been the Chick-fil-A drive-thru, which is among the best out there, at least in my experience in the Cincinnati area.  During their lunch rush, they quickly produce and deliver an enormous amount of food with a double lane drive-thru.  People go to Chick-fil-A because of the excellent service they get there.  The chicken is good, but it’s the service that rules at that popular fast-food restaurant.  The staff is always happy to serve and doesn’t waste your time.  And people feel they get a better product at Chick-fil-A because their time is respected.  They don’t make you wait; if you do have to wait, they are all over themselves with apologies.  Chick-fil-A’s success in the marketplace is because they have created management systems that remove Parkinson’s Law from their interactions with the public.  And the result has made them the best in the industry at drive-thru service.  All the other fast-food restaurants have allowed themselves to be eroded with increased regulation that imposes Parkinson’s Law into their Labor Department processing, and it shows in the rate at which food hits the window on a drive-thru.  If you’ve ever been to Europe, you will see that this need for speed is something they resent a lot.  And too many Americans have been convinced they should follow the Europeans.  But hidden in the background of that belief is the poison of slowness that comes with raw global Marxism.  And behind those efforts is Parkinson’s Law, which panders to the worst of human behavior, which shows in their work.  Which then deprives the culture of performance and merit.  And it all starts with Parkinson’s Law.  It’s been around for a long time; it’s not a new invention.  But it’s gotten worse over time, not better, and after twenty years of Obama and his types in government getting their point across, Parkinson’s Law has migrated into just about every field of endeavor.  Even amusement parks have bought into this trait by selling fast passes.  They purposely make you wait in long lines to force you to buy their fast passes, for an admission ticket that is already expensive.  They use the burden of time to force people to pay more for an expedited experience.  FedEx and all the carriers do the same thing.  If you want it fast, you’ll pay more.  You’ll hire too many.  The truth is that people should want to do better.  Managers should show them the way and the workers should listen rather than allow procrastination to rule over the work that needs to be performed.

Yes, We Are Going to Arrest Judges and Put Them in Jail: “Imagine” a world where law breakers actually get punished

Yes, to answer the question, we will put judges in jail.  If they break the law, they will be arrested and thrown in jail with everyone else.  And that is a lesson that Judge Dugan in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, learned in late April of 2025 as she was trying to help an illegal alien escape as agents were in her courtroom to deport the guy.  We have been talking about the radicalism of our judiciary, who have come to believe that they don’t have to live by the same rules that the rest of society does, but that they have gained king like powers to resist temporary challenges to social order by elected representatives, like Trump in the White House.  So their goal is to put on the brakes and use the process to stall out temperaments.  Their commitment to the hostile policies of the Open Border movement, which is globalist in nature, was never more evident than in their resistance to the Trump movement.  During the last term, we saw that resistance to the popularly elected Trump came from the FBI and other forces at the Department of Justice.  Now the shoe is on the other foot, and Trump has control of those arms of government.  Because people gave him that power through an election, and now we see as a last line of defense these radical leftist judges who always think they could make up the law from the bench and build the kind of society that they’d like as liberals.  This has been a tactic that has emerged more from the background, the longer Trump has been in politics, because the radicalism was always hidden behind polite society.  And to expose it, Trump needed to make society less polite.  We were dealing with a “screw you over with a smile on our faces” culture that was very manipulative and malicious. 

But Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested by the Pam Bondi Justice Department, with Kash Patel and Dan Bongino working on the FBI side, and we suddenly have many different government agencies we can feel good about.  Before Trump was elected back to office, the FBI was helping judicial radicalism, which is why all these sanctuary cities thought they were going to be able to defy Trump.  But now that cover story has been stripped away, the judges are all alone and exposed.  A former ex-judge in New Mexico was also arrested with his wife for essentially doing the same thing as Judge Dugan. Retired Magistrate Judge Joel Cano and his wife Nancy were arrested at their home by Homeland Security, now ran by the great Kristi Noem, for tampering with evidence by destroying the cell phone of his wife as they were harboring Cristhian Ortega-Lopez, a 23-year old Venezuelan national and suspected member of the Tren de Aragua gang.  When they say, “but there is no evidence,” they say stupid things like that because they know their role in destroying evidence and think we’ll never figure it out.  These old judges who think they are in command of the legal system know that to get convictions, you have to have evidence.  So we have a whole subculture of radical, Marxist liberals who think that if they destroy the evidence, our judicial system will never prosecute and get a conviction.  I have seen this process up close, so it’s a huge problem.  Marxists have been playing on the gullibility of good Christian people for many years, and honestly, we’re tired of it.  That’s why people voted for Trump: to give us these new government agencies that had been corrupted by indecision in the past, but now will enforce the law, even when we know that people like Hillary Clinton are destroying the evidence of her email correspondence.  Or that proof of election fraud was wiped out by the courts, which wanted to certify someone they politically support.  Or in the case of illegal immigration, this judicial couple felt they had the power to change immigration law with a protest by using the system against itself.  And now with Kristi Noem, that shell game is no longer working.

And that is the real fear, the radical left’s observation about arresting judges for getting in the way of Trump’s deportation policies.  Before Trump was elected, he made it clear that he was going to go to war with the drug cartels.  And now we see who has been helping them ruin our country, all these radical leftist judges who are sympathetic to the destruction of our country.   Go through the musical libraries of couples like that one in New Mexico. You’ll find a lot of hippie music and progressive artists like Stevie Ray Vaughan, and they are probably in love with John Lennon’s communist song, “Imagine.”  These are not flag-waving Constitutional patriots.  These are hostile hippies now aged and abusing the power they were given as legal professionals to articulate their politics as senior citizens.  And whatever Judge Dugan thought she was doing by trying to sneak off an illegal immigrant in her courtroom through her private chambers only indicates how deep this problem has been for decades.  These judges have been trying to cripple America with soft on crime policies and to change the nature of the American people with open border policies written while pot smoking losers who now run public policy sit around and listen to that stupid John Lennon song, “Imagine.” 

Well, “Imagine this,” a world where lawbreakers go to jail.  And those in charge of judgeships are arrested for using their bench as a political weapon to undo law and order, rather than preserving it.  Finally, we have a Justice Department, an FBI, and a Homeland Security willing to do the job as needed.  And this is just the beginning.  So yes, we will be throwing more judges in jail and prosecuting the radicals regarding judicial review.  If they want to be relevant in co-equal branches of government, they better be willing to work as hard as Trump does to do a good job.  Up to this point, the people we have had in the White House had too many advisors, and they enjoyed the ceremonial aspects of the job too much, but they weren’t in love with the work.  These judges don’t work very much; they drink too much wine and listen to too much old hippie music, which corrupts their minds about the task.  And they aren’t going to stop Trump with weak political positions and a 9-to-noon daily work schedule.  The world isn’t going to slow down to the political sentiments of the Marxist left.  They will have to compete with capitalism, with value, and with laws that protect those values, rather than being an insurgent trying always to undermine them from their benches.  And regarding evidence, action is some of the best evidence of what people get caught doing.  And Judge Dugan was caught tampering with the arrest and deportation of an illegal immigrant.  But she’s not alone.  We need many of these people to clean up our system.  And it’s good to see that we finally have people willing to do the work.  One arrest at a time.  Put them all in jail.  And if we need bigger jails, let’s build them off the money we save by destroying the drug cartels!

King Trump: He can stay as long as he wants

I personally wouldn’t mind if Trump ran again in 2028.  This past week, he officially put out merchandise that promoted the idea, but I think he’s just having a little fun with the radical left, who are afraid that they will never get rid of Trump again.  And that, like FDR, he might try to stick around beyond two terms, and that he’ll declare himself king.  I would be okay with Trump sticking around as long as he wants to.  I sleep better at night knowing Trump is in the White House and someone like him is making good decisions for our country.  But I don’t think Trump is all that serious about it.  I think he’d like to retire and play golf.  We are lucky to get what we have out of him, which in the end will be 12 years of a Trump presidency.  Two of those terms officially.  One of them unofficially.  But regardless of the measure, it will be a significant part of his life.  Democrats have much bigger problems besides Trump; they have made a hard turn toward open socialism, and that will hinder them from now on.  There is no longer a blurring of the lines as to where they stand, which is evident in Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign swing these days.  She is the future of the Democrat Party, and she is a hard left person who won’t play well to a national audience, so Democrats have more trouble than just Trump.  But they fear that he just won’t ever go away, exacerbated by the Trump campaign merch indicating that he was already campaigning for 2028.  It will take a long time to fix the many parts of America that are broken, on purpose, by radicals we used to trust.  So I’m in no hurry to see Trump go anywhere.  If he wants to stay president for another twenty years, I’m perfectly fine with that.  I’m sure we could establish some legislative modification to accommodate him. 

But logically, we still have the unsettled matter of his stolen second term, and everything the government did to him to try to destroy him.  We’re not just talking about what he has done to offer himself to the office of the presidency, but the over-the-top attempts to kill him that took from all of us that critical second term, and inserted the loser Joe Biden in an obvious attempt to destroy our country.   People go to war over much less than what happened to Trump, where they clearly stole the election from him, put him on a plane, and exiled him from politics.  At least they tried to.  So I think everyone owes Trump some exceptional consideration.  No matter what anybody thinks about him politically, I think of him more as a reformed Democrat than a traditional Republican, but he’s a great executive.  He knows how to put the right people in place to get things done and to cheerlead things along with the power of positive thinking.  And the White House is a much better place with him in it.  I was just there a few weeks ago and can say that everything around the White House is better with Trump.  There is no way that Democrats are ever going to get the world back that they once ruled over.  Trump or not.  People picked Trump.  Trump is far from a king.  The American people wanted him, now for three elections, and they will want him as long as they can get him.  Trump can stay as long as he wants. 

Election fraud is serious business, and it has to be punished.  It’s not enough to have people sheepishly apologetic now that Trump won the election with so much support, even after all they tried to do to him, including the former VP, Mike Pence.  On that terrible day of January 6th, when the government certified that election, knowingly committing fraud, most of the key players who were involved were erased from the political landscape. People like Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi, Mitt Romney, and some of Trump’s most prominent critics are no longer relevant, politically.  That is something that nobody is really talking about.  It’s not so much about what Trump intends to do or can’t do as radical judges try to stall his administration out, hoping to outlast him in Washington, D.C., to ride out the election cycles.  But what matters most is that the opposition to Trump is much weaker than it has ever been, and it had its back broken on that day of the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, during the summer of 2024.  And I don’t see it ever recovering.  Rather, the Marxist insurgency, which Bernie Sanders and AOC have always been, was smoked out and exposed.  And if they are going to win elections ever again, as Democrats, it will be under much different circumstances.  In that case, it will be the Marxist and communist crowd rather than hiding those attributes behind progressive causes that define the future of politics.  And communism isn’t something they pick for themselves.  It is something that is taken, and Democrats have already blown that.  Their coup attempt was in 2020, and we lasted through it to get Trump back.  And they have no plan B.  Trump is redefining the presidency in America, which should have been happening for several centuries now.  Nobody has quite been able to make the Executive Branch as effective as Trump has made it; we are now in completely uncharted territory.

When Trump is done, all people will want to return to the kind of president Trump has been. His media engagements.  His tireless work ethic.  He has even been involved in the NFL draft this year.  Trump is everything to everybody, and he never stops doing the job.  And people, even his political enemies, will not want to return to the purely figurehead president who sat in the White House disengaged and only there for the photo op, while the lawyers ran the world.  However, there is a big difference between a king and what Trump is.  He is a successful guy who offered himself to do a job for America.  He’s even paying for the new flag poles at the White House out of his own pocket.  A king rules through power.  Trump is a representative of the American people, picked by them to do work on their behalf.  Trump is not now, nor will he ever be, a king.  We are lucky to have him.  We are fortunate to have Melania, too.  We are lucky to have the American system produce good people who can afford to represent us in the White House.  And I want Trump to do that job as long as he wants, forget about the norms.  Forget about the political theater of the media rat race, where they perpetually talk up candidates and make money off the advertising for new political offices.  I want someone to do the job, and Trump has set a new standard that Democrats will never be able to live up to.  Even Republicans will struggle to find someone as charismatic and practical as Trump.  And we are a much better country with Trump in the White House, which I would like to see extend well beyond 2028.   But I don’t think it will, by Trump’s own choice.

Big Tish James is in Trouble: But David Yost did the same thing

Big Tish James, the Attorney General in New York is in a lot of trouble, not just from what she actually did, misrepresenting property transactions in Real Estate, but that she created a precedent with President Trump when she used her office to attempt to destroy him and his businesses over much less serious charges.  In the Letitia James case, in one particular charge, she stated that her father was actually her husband, which was knowing fraud.  As the New York AG, she was the prosecutor of the Trump case that threatened to put him in jail for the rest of his life, and then some.  And destroy his businesses with millions of dollars in legal fees, not just destroying him, but the rest of his family and employees.  Of course, the way she behaved toward Trump has everyone showing little sympathy for her case, now that the White House has referred it to Pam Bondi at the Department of Justice.  We can’t turn away from this one.  Clearly, James planned to abuse her power to destroy people’s lives, and she was guilty herself of worse, so she has to be dealt with harshly.  Ruthlessly, with no compassion given to her attempt to manipulate the legal parameters of her situation, even if legal experts claim that her infractions were things that everybody does.  She is the New York AG, and she did those things knowingly.   Never forget that Letitia James filed a civil lawsuit against Trump, his sons, and the Trump Organization for engaging in fraudulent business practices by misrepresenting asset values to secure favorable loan terms and tax benefits.  Judge Engoron, under the push of James, found Trump guilty and ordered him to pay $454 million in a judgment, and he was barred from running a business in New York for three years.  Trump is appealing the case, and this behavior by James is needed as part of his appeal process, because the point of the appeal is to prove that the entire case was politically motivated. 

But worse than any of that is the temptation to abuse power, which we should all be concerned with after seeing how the system was thrown at Trump.  Obviously, Big Tish James was coordinating her efforts with Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan District Attorney, when he pressed 34 felony counts related to hush money payments to the adult film star Stormy Daniels.  Trump was convicted on all 34 counts on May 30th, 2024.  Two months later, Trump was shot in the head by an assassin, so looking back on all these cases and conditions, it’s not hard to see how serious the opposition was to Trump returning to the White House, and Letitia James was at the heart of all of it.  While she was doing it, she was doing far worse than what she was accusing Trump of, which is a common theme among people who are given too much government power over others.  This happens all the time, and as I heard about the Big Tish case, I couldn’t help but think of our Attorney General in Ohio, who abused his power to take down the Butler County Auditor, Roger Reynolds. Roger recently held a press conference naming Yost and stating his direct involvement in trying to put Roger in jail, essentially over some political disagreements.  Severe stuff done with the same level of malice.  These are charges that most people would roll their eyes at and not consider to be a big deal.  But in all these cases, significant fines and jail time were on the table, and it was terrifying to see the massive abuses of power going on.  Roger Reynolds will never fully recover what he lost due to the case Yost put against him politically.  I am greatly relieved that Vivek Ramaswamy put his hat in the ring to be governor of Ohio and give us a good option away from Yost, who wants to run for governor and is losing terribly to Vivek.

The lesson is that we cannot give these people too much power.  Because it’s not just Letitia James abusing her power, but we’ve seen it from another Attorney General in the State of Ohio.  And it makes you wonder how many AGs in various states have the same problem.  This is why we cannot have a government that is too big, because the members will abuse their power if given half a chance.  So we should never let off our scrutiny and always be suspicious of government people.  If their office has power, you can bet they will be tempted to abuse it.  And likely will at some point.  There are just too many cases where it happens, and there is no deterrent unless they are caught, as Big Tish has been, with severe punishment.  Letitia James planned to use her knowledge as the top cop of New York, of the law, to manipulate it to serve her real estate needs.  There is no defense in her case that she knowingly lied, indicating that her father was her husband.  That’s not a clerical accident; that was purposeful fraud.  And we can’t have AGs thinking they can get away with that behavior.  So, prosecuting her is more than a political stunt or revenge for all that she did to Trump.  It’s the only means we have to keep the system somewhat honest. 

If Trump had not won the election of 2024, he would be in jail and broke right this very minute.  All his wealth would have been confiscated, and his businesses destroyed.  And he would never leave jail alive again.  That is what Letitia James did to him, and she got her rigged conviction to hang over Trump a felony that state control could then use to their advantage over a political rival.  David Yost did the same thing to Roger Reynolds for holding an improper interest in a public contract to destroy a political rival over what Roger says was a disagreement over property tax assessments.  When we allow attorney generals to split hairs like that and destroy people with their positions, they better be squeaky clean.  And that is not the case with Big Tish.  She is guilty and deserves to have the book thrown at her and then some.  And a strong message has to be sent to all those like her who are thinking of doing precisely what she did to Trump.  This is exactly why we can never support a large government that gets away from our control.  While we need people to do these jobs, they need enough power to do them.  But we cannot allow them to get so powerful that they feel entitled to do what Big Tish did to Trump, while over the same period, she was lying on legal transactions in a far worse way, and thought she would get away with it because she was the Attorney General.  The power went to her head, and she fell to corruption.  And for the Department of Justice to set things right, they need to use Letitia James’ words against her since she set the precedent for prosecution with her actions against Trump.  The same rules apply now to her.  Only in her case the written evidence in own her hand is to the point where nobody else could be guilty.  And that is how justice must be applied.

Harvard Does Not Have the Right to Federal Money: Rethinking College Completely

Harvard is making a fool of itself with its legal action, or intent, against the Trump administration for withholding federal dollars over progressive policies being taught at that institution.  Remember, he who owns the gold rules.  The beggars in need of money do not have the leverage to command policy.  They must do what is required to get the money if they want it.  They don’t get to set policy.  Those are the rules, and they will be now, and forever.  Harvard University does not have the right to federal money.  They must do what the federal government requires to obtain that money.  And that’s the end of the story.  But let’s have an honest conversation about colleges in general, as we should be cutting off federal funding to all of them.  We should not be funding the education of people with federal dollars, which goes for all public education in general.  Education has not given us an enlightened society.  Rather, they have been recruiting centers for Democrat policies that damage kids badly in the critical years of their lives, generally.  Some kids escape into adulthood if they have good family support at home.  But most have their minds destroyed for the first twenty years of their adult lives because of our education system and we are at a point where we need to ask questions like the one at Harvard, why are we spending federal money on such a waste of money, and should we continue to use the college system as a form of higher education.  Or should education be obtained in other ways?  Because the way it is now is a complete waste of money, and kids are learning all the wrong things.  Not only would I call it a worthless experience, but it’s damaging to people the way it has been set up, and we need to change it if we want to fix what’s wrong at the core of our society.

I don’t discriminate against college-educated people.  But I have found that our current education system teaches people to think in a box when learning to think out of one is most needed.  I would point to Robert Persig’s Metaphysics of Quality for a really solid philosophical and psychological analysis of our current education system from top to bottom.  To use his metaphor, we teach people to live in the caboose of life, not to be in the engine room at the front of the train of leadership.  And that’s where we need all people to be.  Trump clearly gets it, and he doesn’t care at this point in his life if people get mad at him by protestors from Harvard or any other legacy school.  The question we have before us is whether or not a college education is effective, and the evidence shows that it’s not.  And a lot of people are functioning as adults with crippled intellects because they had their intelligence robbed from them during their college experiences.  To succeed in the college environment, they have to learn to think in a structured box of information when the real problems are out of the box, and require people to solve problems there.  People who do not have college backgrounds can get into a useful state quicker than those with a lot of college.  But those critical years up to age 22 set people up for most of their lives, and mistakes made at that point in their lives usually last a lifetime.  I have seen people reform themselves by their late 40s and 50s.  But the amount of pretentious time they spend as entitled in the box thinkers, usually cripples them for life.  And it is a real problem.  Just having education funded by the government is not the question.  It’s what people teach, at the heart of Trump’s withholding federal funds from Harvard over DEI policies.  In our culture, as it should be, you pay for what you value.  You shouldn’t have to pay for it if you don’t value it.  Harvard, or any other educational institution, is not promised money for producing a bad product. 

This came up as I was at another one of those lunch meetings, with some people who would call themselves very powerful, and we were talking about this topic and people specifically and one of these people said that so and so was a Man from Purdue University, as if that said everything that needed to be said.  This person had a predisposition to hire applicants who came out of Purdue University, which I think is profoundly dumb.  But it’s what he believes as an employer.  And his comment sparked quite a debate.  I am usually polite about my thoughts, so we had a good conversation.  But to compress two hours of talk into a few sentences here, he maintained a completely irrational hiring practice of hiring people from a university system that produced bad results that he constantly complained about.  And when I suggested that maybe he should hire from the University of Cincinnati, Dayton, or Ohio State, he acted like I was asking him to put on a rival team’s jersey on NFL Sunday.  His belief system was part of the problem in why he couldn’t find good recruits to fill his job requirements.  And when I told him for his technical positions, he would do better to hire 12-year-old kids who hadn’t been taught to fail than kids who have spent the next 10 years of their lives learning to appease liberal college professors, because they would bring those same practices into the work place, which would make them useless, he thought it was the craziest idea he had ever heard and was quite animated by the suggestion.  But it was true and he knows it.

And that’s how it is for most people.  We fund education on hope and beliefs built on feelings rather than facts.  We like our favorite college sports teams, so we support the entire institution teaching Marxism to the next generation. We don’t say anything about it because we might have won some money on a March Madness bracket.  And that is part of the shell game.  We root for college sports, which entertain us.  But we ignore what they are teaching until we find our kids coming back from college as unrecognizable Democrat ground soldiers for liberal social policies that they spend the rest of their lives trying to unlearn.  And a lot of parents save up a lot of money to throw their kids away, essentially into a system that is broken and addicted to federal taxpayer money.  Trump has every right to withhold those funds, and no lawsuit can force the public to pay for its own demise, which is what that Harvard issue will come down to.  It’s the same problem for every college education system and public school.  We have to have an intelligent discussion about what education should be, and what we should do to pay for it.  Not just unthinkingly throw money at it and hope everything works out OK.  Because it hasn’t been working, and in the state it’s in now, the best thing we could do for education is to stop funding failure.  And force education institutions to compete to see what works and what doesn’t.  Because as long as they are fat, dumb, and happy off federal dollars, Harvard and the rest of them have no incentive to change.  And they need to change a lot!

Why is the Supreme Court Chicken: Jubela, Jubelo, and Jubelum

To understand why the Supreme Court is so soft on backing Trump’s deportations of illegal immigrant gang members, I think we need to understand the old story of Freemasonry regarding the killing of Hiram Abiff, or Chiram Abiff as the story is told in very esoteric circles.  Hiram was the masonic architect of King Solomon’s temple and was murdered by three ruffians while ascending the temple steps.  The murderers wanted the secrets of a Master Mason, and Hiram refused, so he was assassinated by Jubela, Jubelo, and Jubelum.  These three characters represent the mob, the church and all its superstitions, and the state and its rule over people by fear.  The mob always kills off a dynamic challenge to a static order, for which corruption profits.  The mob is the face of preservation of static human concerns.  Freemasonry aims to shed attachments to the material world by ascending the steps of wisdom.  It is always these three aspects of human existence that sabotage effort.  That was certainly the case with Pythagoras, as he was said to have been killed by the mob.  Socrates was killed by the state to preserve the mob, calling it the corruption of the youth, to teach what he was teaching.  Of course, there is Jesus Christ, who was killed by all three, just as Hiram Abiff was.  Jesus was disruptive to the static order, so he was eliminated.  And we could continue through time to tell of many stories where people were killed for disrupting those social norms, which very evil, materialistic people, sought to preserve with violence.  And this cycle continued until President Trump escaped an assassin’s bullet, which missed him during a big rally in Pennsylvania on national television.  And upon that moment, a significant psychological change occurred, because it was the first time that mass populations saw a miracle like that, where the hand of God preserved with a miracle a chosen disrupter to an evil system ruled by those three killers of Hiram Abiff. 

Never forget who the mob picked in the story of Jesus; they did not choose to save from Pontius Pilate the wonderful son of God, Jesus Christ.  No, they picked Barabbas, the criminal, to save—Barabbas the thug, who was just like the mob.  As history thinks of people, it values the mob, the mob of communism, Marxism, and socialism, who rule through violence and chaos.  And the reason that secret societies formed in the first place was to preserve the mystery schools in pursuit of wisdom and knowledge, and that the only preservation method was to die for a cause at the hands of the mob.  The mob destroyed the famous Library of Alexandria and a connection to ancient wisdom there as well.  The three killers of Hiram Abiff rule the world, not the lofty exploits about self-rule that American society intended to utilize out of a philosophic enterprise of a New Jerusalem, the rebuilding of the temple for a third time in the New-Old world, where the garden of paradise could flourish.  We created a Supreme Court to preserve these lofty assumptions, and when you go there and spend some time, as I have recently, you can feel the intent.  But these are only human people in these positions and when you have senators like Chuck Schumer advocating for the mob to kill members of the Supreme Court, that old instinct for self preservation takes over and the Supreme Court members lose their spine and faulter, which is why the Masons have their initiates go through the story of Hiram Abiff at the 3rd degree. 

However, America is also the land of the Second Amendment for preservation against mobs.  Political figures have always used one of those three murderers to preserve their hold on static society, pushing either mob anger, superstitions from the church, or fear from the power of an all-mighty state over its subjects.  The Second Amendment was meant to break that power over these vast evil forces who whisper in the ears of the powerful for chaos, which always follows their efforts with great malice and evil enterprise.  When people can shoot back at these forces, it takes away their power, so there are always campaigns to eliminate the Second Amendment from its Constitutional stronghold.  And as the story should go with Masons, Hiram Abiff should be more like President Trump, and kill the killers, rather than sacrificing himself in favor of wisdom, but without putting his arms around violence.  The way to beat the bad guys is not to make peace with them.  But to take the fight to their doorsteps, which is what Trump is doing by deporting illegal aliens.  The open border movement has wanted to use the fear created by gang members to undermine American society with a military incursion designed to scare people into submission.  This is also why senators like Schumer and others have gotten away with trying to incite a mob against members of the Supreme Court, so that they don’t lose their control over society by instigating the fear of violence.  If people shoot back, they won’t be afraid, so of course, Democrats wrapped up in such a scheme of evil will not want people to be able to defend themselves from Jubela, Jubelo, and Jubelum.

We give the Supreme Court a lofty office, but they are only human.  They have families and constantly fear one of those forces coming to destroy them.  So, in the case of this deportation issue with Trump, they have to show neutrality for their self-preservation.  Even though they know that Trump has vast Article II powers granted by the Constitution to protect the border, they fear the mob’s reaction and want to create at least an appearance of impartiality, to appease the malcontents trying to stoke violence on their doorsteps unless they rule in favor of evil.  Of course, this is judicial tampering, but what does evil care about preserving the rules?  About living in a civil society when they genuinely want to destroy it.  This is the same strategy as we saw with Roe v. Wade. Have we learned who leaked the pre-released decision to the public?  The Supreme Court is buying time before its ruling, hoping to take the edge off the potential for mob violence.  And it’s a problem as old as time itself.  Trump, for his part, is a new figure in history, who survived the plotting exploits of mob violence, because the assassin’s bullet missed on live television, and Trump’s reaction to it, with blood streaming down his face, changed history.  Because in the world’s ways, a world leader showed no fear of Jubela, Jubelo, and Jubelum, but instead fought back.  And that is why we are deporting illegal immigrants who are designed to overthrow our country with chaos and the violence of gangs of thugs.  Trump promised a war against the cartels, and he is doing it, without fear.  And those who need the gang violence to terrorize people, so that the mob can rule, so that superstition can rule, and so that the state can rule with fear, they aren’t happy with Trump.  And the Supreme Court is scared, like the Israelites were when told to fight the giants in the Promised Land before they were penalized for 40 years in the Wilderness for refusing to put on the armor of God, and to trust that God had their back.  Until Joshua did as God intended and did trust that he would be preserved, no matter how bad the odds became.  Trump is a similar character, and the spell is being broken.  But it takes courage to put on the Armor of God and endure the hostile elements always looming in the background.  The Supreme Court has to find the courage to do what’s right.  And they know it.  It’s easy to talk tough.  It’s not so easy to be tough.

The Bible is Making a Comeback: Democrats have been advocating for the spread of evil, but they are losing

It’s very impressive to see, but in 2025, the box office performance of King of Kings from Angel Studios and The Chosen: Last Supper has shown that people really want movies that resonate in value.  Even better, Bible sales are doing very well, and a new trend that is very good is emerging.  With Trump in office, people are feeling a lot less secular.  Probably the best thing that could have happened toward any Christian-based movement was the near assassination of President Trump on live television for everyone to witness.  It was clearly a miracle that Trump was not killed and was a great example of what putting on the armor of God really means, which is very specific to the Western civilization Bible as a general theme.  Do not worry about being outnumbered.  Fight anyway and don’t worry about being killed or punished by the mob.  God will have your back.  And when Trump survived the assassination attempts in 2024, people saw what they could only explain as the hand of God, so they are turning toward religion and away from secular influences now more than ever, which I think is a good thing.  Over the years, I have generally had tolerance for other religions and the people who come from them.  So long as people work hard to be good.  But this secular God hating movement that we have been dealing with in America has not been acceptable, and I have never liked it or supported it.  Being mindful of other places in the world that do not have the benefit of biblical scholarship is not the same thing as being anti Bible, and we have seen from God hating Democrats the truth of their position as hosts of evil, and people have been miserable because of it.  One of the most essential things that Trump has done so far as a president, both past and present, is restore to society a love of religion as a guiding principle and put his arms around celebrations like Christmas and Easter. 

Hollywood has been anti God for many years, but ironically, the best material they have produced has had great respect for the Bible, such as The Ten Commandments, and Little House on the Prairie.  I was surprised to see that mainstream actors gave voice to the Angel Studios film, The King of Kings, because typically, actors are afraid of being blacklisted by other studios, for religious involvement.  That’s how bad it’s been, so it is pretty remarkable to see the great box office performance of these Christian films get mainstream Hollywood support for a change.  It’s not just the impressive money that they are generating in theaters, but in the acceptance within the culture of Hollywood itself that has shifted.  It’s not an accident that Mark Wahlberg and Chris Pratt are openly praying to Jesus, both A-list actors who are purposefully not running from God, so these are significant shifts in culture that ultimately is the best way to fight the vast evils of the world that have been hiding behind polite society.   People are willing to pay good money to see a story about Jesus that they have heard repeatedly during the Easter season of 2025, which shows how much the shift in entertainment has moved in a positive direction.  It starts with a president not being afraid to express faith openly, but with people witnessing a miracle with the assassination attempts.  And for answers, people are turning back to the Bible for context, which is excellent for perpetuating American society.   America was built on the Bible, and to keep it sustained, religion has to be at the core of the belief system of a majority of the people. 

Even more, the Amazon Prime project House of David has been hovering around number two among all the streaming options on that very popular platform, and it has been a surprise hit for them.  It’s not a surprise that The Chosen director Dallas Jenkins has been an advisor for the story of the rise of King David and his season 1 fight with the famous giant Goliath.  People watching the show are surprised by the Game of Thrones level of political intrigue attached to King David’s life.  Only that is real; the Bible is part of history and not a fictional story like The Game of Thrones, so it has much more meaning.  People are finding that they love biblical stories.  It’s true, they are very compelling, even among all the world’s religious doctrines.  The Bible, which came from the Jewish and Christian faith, is very persuasive as a work of literature.  When Hollywood worked best, it used it as its storytelling foundation.  When they have been at their worst, they worked to undermine it in American culture with a desire to secularize the people toward evil intent.  And that has not been something that people wanted to experience.  People wish for lofty, value-driven characters in their stories and turn to these Bible films and streaming platforms for content far better than what the studio system of Hollywood has been giving them.  And theater owners are happy to see a little light at the end of the tunnel.  The central breaking point was COVID and the anti-Church lockdowns we all experienced.  Rather than break the foundation of religious faith, the crises drove people more toward the arms of God in day-to-day considerations. 

It also helps that there have been real commitments on the museum front with The Ark Encounter in Kentucky giving people a real amusement park experience with biblical content.  Then, of course, I was so excited about the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C.  From many independent sources, we are seeing a replacement of the evil worshipping culture of Hollywood with a faith-based entertainment movement that is not running from God, but to him.  Now that there are good examples of how compelling stories can be told visually from the Bible, more and more creative types are moving in that direction.  After The Chosen is finished with Season 7, and Mel Gibson does his sequel to The Passion with The Resurrection, which I think will be fantastic, Dallas Jenkins is turning to the subject of Moses, which will be from his hand, incredibly powerful.  I would even throw in the very popular video game, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, in for good measure, which is a very mainstream game that is one of the most popular out there right now.  Its central story objective deals with the giants I always discuss and their relationship to humanity as Watchers before Noah’s flood.  So the Bible is undoubtedly making a comeback where it had been looking to be shoved out of every entertainment venue with a communist push to eradicate it from our culture.  But it’s not just alive and well, but thriving in ways many thought they would never see.  However, I would say that we are seeing just the tip of the iceberg here.  There are a lot of compelling stories in the Bible, and there is a lot for creative types to work with now that they have seen what success looks like with the examples mentioned here.  And I think Bible stories will become the norm, not the fringe.  And that the garbage that Hollywood has been producing will continue to be rejected at the box office in favor of more Bible stories and the sales of the most popular book the world has ever known.  A new generation is putting their arms around it, which is very good for the future of civilization.

The Secret of Hiram Abiff: Sacrifice is not the highest form of self and for over 5 million years, humans have had it wrong

People have an ancient need, most people do, to belong.  They need to feel attached to other people, which is likely the case for the last 5 million years of human evolution.  Likely, it goes back much further than that, and if we dig deep enough in the earth and the mounds of antiquity, we would discover the limits of our carbon dating method in that it can only give us results for items that don’t decay away into nothing within a few thousand years.  And that the evidence for the Vico Cycle elements of human existence has been shed off the Earth’s back many times.  The evidence of this history is physical, and it’s so disturbing to institutional knowledge that it rocks the foundations of human belief systems so it has emerged underground to those who want to think of themselves as only the wisest to see it, and that personalities like Pythagoras and Hermes were the carriers of this ancient knowledge from the mystery schools where the initiates were given this vast knowledge to be carried like bricks of a wall into the tapestry of human purpose and existence, which leads to all the conspiracy theories of Freemasonry and the happenings that go on in Masonic lodges.  I happen to know a lot of masons, master masons, and the type, and I am what many would call an expert on the occult.  That’s not something that they give you college degrees for; it’s only something you can acquire by reading vast amounts of very esoteric material.  But I am not a Mason.  I have been offered to be.  Just as saying that I’m an expert at the occult doesn’t mean that I’m sacrificing chickens to some demon god from beyond time and space.  I would argue that they are all wrong in what their application to life is and has been, and my opinions are very much alone in this regard.  So I’m willing to argue the merits, but I understand the need, and in saying that, I understand why there is so much anger and fear over the Trump presidency.

When I say that human existence has evolved over millions of years, I say that because it would have taken at least that long to develop the religion of astrology and to calculate all the math that has emerged into the mystery schools for which Egyptian society was built, and even Jewish, Greek and Roman society.  There is a lot of talk about the necessity for numbers that are hidden in the text of the Bible for instance that point back to the alignment of the planets and how long it takes to develop a thought process of observing the powers of an all knowing God through the placement of stars in the sky so that a belief system can emerge.  This is also why there is so much terror over humans traveling to Mars, because the night sky will be different there, and many of the astrology mystery schools that have emerged from what Masons believe to be Atlantean origins for all life on Earth will mean completely different things in a Mars night sky.  So these mystery schools are very timid about modern society, and they see it as a vast evil because it’s selfish and materialistic, and that the point of Freemasonry is to give up all those things and to die of the self, and be initiated into the whole, the root cause of mankind’s actual failure, the need to belong to others and to limit themselves to a collective whole.  It is in that statement that subconsciously, we see Freemasonry as evil and corrosive, while they see altruism and giving up oneself as the ultimate merit of a life well lived.  To live for others, not to ever utter that others might not be worth living for. 

Most of the heroes of these mystery schools have never outgrown the need for sacrifice and appeasement to the ultimate forces we call God in the universe.  And back to the occult worship, I study why they want to be occultists, I would never seek the help of supernatural aid to achieve something I want to do in the world, which is what all forms of sacrifice are, the sacrifice of life to a God and hoping that the god will grant some wish to the person doing the sacrifice, it’s an immature desire to appease the master parent of life that people never grow out of as children.  Children want to appease their parents, whom, when they are little, see as very strong and bigger than they are.  So too are adults and their occult gods.  The need to sacrifice to them is of the same mentality.  But slowly, humanity has outgrown that desire, and what is happening with the Trump presidency is quite an extraordinary transition.  It’s a kind of “Who is John Galt” approach to the ancient mystery schools of yielding to the forces that need to be sacrificed to, which for Freemasonry is the point of their existence, represented in the architect of King Solomon’s Temple, Hiram Abiff.  In Freemasonry, initiates learn about the murder of the Temple’s architect on the steps of rising knowledge and wisdom within the Temple by three ruffians who demanded to know the secret of the order.  But Hiram refuses, so he is killed over it, where Freemasonry sees this as a highly moral act of defiance to the materialistic forces of heathen behavior.  The ultimate secret that Hiram died for in refusing to disclose about the masonic order is that altruism is the highest form of life for which all should live and sacrifice to. 

Like the John Galt character from the famous book Atlas Shrugged, President Trump is a materialist who has dedicated himself to American capitalism and its advancement as a moral obligation.  Many Freemasons lean toward socialism, but because of the nature of their belief systems, there is a struggle.  Most of their heroes, like Pythagoras, were killed by aggressors, which points to the problem of the psychology of the belief systems at their heart.  Socrates was killed.  Jesus was killed much like Pythagoras, at the hands of the mobs and political elements of their times, so for people of those mystery school orders, those are necessary sacrifices that must be made to live a good life, and not to fear it.  Give back to people while you still can and die to the nature of the self. At the same time, Trump expresses living a good self that spills over through the power of positive thinking, encouraging others to live better for themselves for the sake of themselves.  And when an assassin’s bullet failed to land in Trump’s head, killing him, this rocked the subconscious of more than 5 million years of mystery school thinking, which has been wrong from the beginning.  So the universe is pretty upset that Trump is president.  And its acolytes, as well, are not happy that sacrifice is losing its power over human existence.  And this has been the cause of the many Vico Cycle failures of civilization throughout that duration, even the fall of Atlantis, as the Greeks told the story, ending in corruption and sorcery well before the island continent sank under the Atlantic Ocean.  Their civilization was dead long before that happened, and they took their poison with them to the far reaches of the earth to start new civilizations that we now dig up and see their ancient ruins. But in the scheme of things, they are just recent events compared to the long struggle to grapple with them.  But for the first time, sacrifice isn’t the core belief system. Instead, productivity is what has rocked the foundations of every collectivist organization that ever existed.  And they are very terrified of that emergence.

Defeating China and the Linkedln Losers: The gunfighter at the bar with their back to the room

Let me say it again about China; I’ve been saying it for a long time.  That’s why my LinkedIn account has been suspended, and I don’t use it.  I don’t like LinkedIn, Facebook, and a lot of social media sites because of their globalist intentions and dedication to the construction of China, which was to make them into a superpower and compete with the United States on the world stage.  China is a dump.  I don’t like the communist country, and I don’t like getting things from them.  By default, many of the products we used to make in America were, by policy, pushed over into China for many reasons, most of them not good.  And I have never thought of it as a good idea.  So when I wrote my book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business and I did press for it, I was very critical of China because some of the people most attracted to my book were people who also supported the decoupling movement from China, as we had grown too dependent on a sworn enemy, and that needed to change.  The Chinese are propped up enemies, which could be said to be most of our enemies over modern history, including Hitler.  They are made villains, not the type of people who, through cunning and diligence, leaped onto the world stage and suddenly became relevant.  No, they were made, China was made, by wealth redistribution to be villains who would drive the back door effort at a one-world order run by the United Nations with socialist governments.  So I explained in my press how to defeat China in a decoupling effort, one that appeared on the LinkedIn platform, which is grotesquely pro-China, and they were so upset about it that they banned me from the platform.  Up to that point, I had reluctantly maintained a LinkedIn page. I get a lot of offers to do a lot of consulting work, and I do what I do.  But LinkedIn to me has always been a den of thieves and con artists who prop themselves up to be fluffier than they really are, and I don’t find those types of people who use the service very valuable in real life.  They are usually propped-up caricatures, just like China ironically. 

After interviewing with a decoupling PAC out of Los Angeles, who were very interested in my book and plastered it all over their social media, the LinkedIn people banned my page and demanded that I apologize for what I said about how America could trounce China in a new war.  I said the next war in the world would not involve tanks or troops but control over finance.  And Larry Fink and the gang of thugs at BlackRock were funneling looted Wall Street money from a Modern Monetary theory Federal Reserve straight into China to make them look better on paper than they actually were, and that they were highly vulnerable.  About that same time, I gave a speech to a bunch of Tea Party types of early MAGA supporters about the Gunfighter at the Bar theory, which is pretty much my summation of all business transactions.  When you have the leverage of something someone wants, you don’t have to be an appeaser.  And that stupid professional site of LinkedIn is designed for the appeasers in life, not the gunfighters at the bar.  And I further said that anybody who exploited that trait would have leverage over their enemy no matter how big they were.  China is a paper tiger propped up by the LinkedIn losers, and we don’t need either of them. 

I control the social media I use, which is how I am with everything.  I like to be in charge.  I don’t like hand-holding consensus building, and that’s all that LinkedIn is good for.  When you are the boss, you don’t need to network.  When you have something people want, your phone never stops ringing, and my phone never stops ringing, all hours of the day, all days of the week.  I have to be a little mean to people to get some time to myself, so I don’t miss the LinkedIn Losers and won’t ever ask them to restore my platform to me.  I said what I said about China and I meant it.   And now Trump is doing exactly what needs to be done to end China as a superpower and threat to the American economy.  And I’m enjoying the spectacle quite a bit.  Ironically, I didn’t write The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business for all the boot lickers of the world.  I wrote it for the gunfighters at the bar with their back to the room, because they can afford to do so.  It’s geared to a smaller audience, but it’s meant for the right people, and the fundamental business rules I learned the hard way.  It is not the kind of fake accolades from resume padding that are typical on LinkedIn.  Then once you hire those people, you find out they can only do a fraction of what they promised and are only one or two trick ponies when you need out of them 20 to 30, just like China.  So, to all those people worried about China cutting off deliveries of Boeing airplanes or cell phones and electronic equipment and upset at Trump’s tariffs, don’t worry.  Don’t be a boot licker.  China can’t win this war, and they know it, which is why they are crying so loudly now. 

Never forget what China did to us with Covid.  They released a bioweapon from a lab in Wuhan, and they killed people with it to destroy the American economy and help the World Economic Forum establish their Great Socialist Reset by shutting down the global economy with stupid work-from-home policies, while China kept chugging along uninterrupted.  They have over a billion people, so losing a few here and there wasn’t a big deal to them.  They are a communist country; they could afford the casualties that they created in the first place.  They were intent on ruining Trump during an election year, and they played their part in that rigged election that put Joe Biden into office.  China had their direct guy in our Executive Branch to directly control American policy, all of which were hostile acts of war.  And that’s precisely how China sees it, just read the book from China called Unrestricted Warfare.  That’s how they approach everything.  They declared war on us, not the other way around.  Trump is just playing the game to beat them in a way that they can’t defend themselves.  Without globalism propping up the Chinese, they are just a backwater country of massively starving people and a communist philosophy that they adopted from Europe in Karl Marx.  And they need to be exploited as the frauds that they always were, just like 99.999999999999999999999% of the LinkedIn losers who use that stupid platform to sell themselves to other losers to fluff themselves up to look smarter than they really are.  I won’t be restoring my LinkedIn account, and I very much support what Trump is doing with the tariffs against China.  They are not our friends.  We don’t need them.  And it’s time that we remove them as the hostile friends ready to stab us in the back at every moment.  And in this action, China can’t win.  And LinkedIn has been hostile to pro-American policy and is garbage now and forever in my opinion.  And I will never forgive them for what they tried to do to our country, Reid Hoffman and the rest.  Bad people deserve to be punished in the most severe way possible.  That’s why I’m not on LinkedIn to answer the questions of those who keep asking.  And that’s why what is happening to China is a great thing!  I do like Chinese food.  But I don’t like the communist country of China as a globalist superpower or any supporters of that movement.

The Mothman Monster: One of the most myterious places on Earth

So, what do I think the Mothman Monster is?  I believe it is Stolis from The Lesser Keys of Solomon, or one of the 26 legions of demons that he commands, likely conjured up by the occult rituals of some maniacal lunatic in the region of Point Pleasant, West Virginia during the years 1966 to 1967.  Hundreds of people saw the Mothman Monster during that year, leading up to a bridge collapse that killed a lot of people transporting themselves over to Ohio from Point Pleasant.  Of course, demons and spiritual monsters are not regional to the Near East, nor are they concerned about what time they are in, as they seem to exist outside of our dimensional limitations.  Many described the Mothman as it appeared over seven feet tall with glowing red eyes and wings that allowed it to fly and harass innocent people.  I think the case with a lot of elements of cryptozoology is that these creatures are timeless and have been captured in classic literature, the mythologies of the world, particularly Greek and Roman myths, and of course the demonology of Europe exported to the world as the Bible grew in popularity and people wanted to figure out what the heck Paul was talking about in Ephesians.  I certainly believe in the cryptids that are reported. I have been to many sites where they have been found, particularly Sasquatches, which are again chronicled in books like the Lesser Keys and evoked through occult practices.  I think someone in the Point Pleasant region called on a monster from the Stolis family tree, and the thing ran around haunting people in a truly terrifying way.  I enjoy these topics a lot, so when my family asked me how I wanted to spend my birthday, we discussed a ghost hunt at Moonville, which I have spoken of.  But my main thing was that I wanted to go to the Mothman Museum in Point Pleasant, West Virginia.

I’ve been there before, and so have some of my kids at different times, but I wanted to go again and spend some time there with my family all in one place, and we had a great day.  The Mothman story is genuinely creepy; all those people weren’t conspiring to lie about what they saw, the entire town was substantially haunted, even to this day.  The latest Mothman sighting in Point Pleasant was as recent as 2016.  It also shows up in Chicago now and then.  And that’s not all.  I think this Stolis character is the same one that the people of the pyramid of Cahokia worshipped, just outside of St. Louis, at the giant mound works there.  And it’s what the Indians called the Thunderbird.  I love the topic. We spent over 1,000 dollars in the gift shop there, part of the cool museum I wanted to visit so badly.  It’s cheesy, and very pulpy, but that is because the truly terrifying aspect of this giant creature that flies around foretelling doom to people so mysteriously has to have some psychological means of dealing with the crises.  And it’s a kind of wet blanket hanging over all of eastern Ohio, even the ghost hunt at Moonville I was talking about.  We’re dealing with a very ancient civilization in that precise location with all the mounds of West Virginia and Ohio up and down the Ohio River that have a very creepy vibe to them even if you didn’t know the stories of the various monsters that appear often to many people, even now. 

Truth be told, that day at the Mothman Museum was one of the happiest days I’ve ever had in my life.  Trump was in office doing good things.  And I had my family to myself living out of our RVs and visiting places like the Mothman Museum, thinking about the kinds of things I like to think about, the politics of demons and spiritual manipulators who plot and scheme against humanity with terror and temptations.  Even better, the Mothman sightings, well documented at the museum, were accompanied by Men in Black visits, a CIA and FBI kind of conspiracy theory.  Only the reports were that these guys were never quite human who visited people at their homes after Mothman sightings to tell them they weren’t seeing what they were seeing.  There were also UFOs all over the place abducting people and doing experiments on them, so we are dealing with a lot more than just the haunting of a monster upon innocent people along the Ohio River.  But we are touching on a phenomenon that traces back to why so many mounds were built by ancient people in the region in the first place.  Those kinds of fears are always buzzing in the background of how a conscious society builds itself, and in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, there is something to these strange occurrences.  As we were there, I thought of the mound complexes up in Marietta, Ohio, and down the river at Portsmouth.  Then, up the road to Newark, where I discussed discovering the Ten Commandments in America inside a giant mound.  Then there are the graves of all the various giants found in the area, chronicled as evidence by early newspaper reports and a kind of Men in Black conspiracy to tell people that they never existed.  Something was going on, and it was fun to think about, and that was how I spent my birthday this year.  Giving myself fun things to think about that are likely significant to the human condition. 

Outside the museum, right in the middle of town, is the Mothman statue; of course, we had to get a family picture by it.  I think The Mothman Prophecy is one of the scariest books I’ve ever read about these events, written by John Keel, a reasonable journalist who didn’t intend to uncover some of the greatest mysteries of modern times.  After his experiences at Point Pleasant he went on to write several books, all of which I have read many times and I do not doubt that there is a lot more to the story of which he was reporting, that there is a political rule over humanity by creatures from beyond time and space that causes us a lot of trouble.  The story of King Solomon commanding these creatures with a ring given to him by God is just one example that has been attempted to be understood by the mind of humanity over the terrors of roaming spirits intent on evil designs.  And sometimes occultists make deals with these demons for benefits that can’t be obtained through some supernatural trade.  And most of us deal with that pressure by just ignoring the problem.  But not me, I want to know all about it. We had a great day at the Mothman Museum and spent significant time in the area thinking about Mothman Monsters and other cryptids who terrorize people worldwide.  Most of them were captured by the writers of The Lesser Keys of Solomon, which lists many similar characters.  There is a lot for us to learn about these creatures, but to say they don’t exist is only a means of avoiding the problem with rationality, because it wasn’t just the Mothman sightings in that region during a particular period, 1966-67.  But it has always been with us, especially along the length of the Ohio River, from Pittsburgh to St. Louis, in what I think is one of the most mysterious places on earth.  And the monsters still roam the night to terrorize the innocent.
