When Jerusalem Was a Space Command Center: Why there are wars, to keep power in the hands who have seized it and use ignorance to suppress rivals

Examining the mysterious site of Ishi-no-Hoden in Japan

I find that science fiction and fantasy often contain more truths than what mainstream sources would ever admit to, such as television shows like Battlestar Galactica, where the concept of human seeding on earth was explored, or Lord of the Rings, where the nature of evil in some far ancient past, or future, is the dominating topic, or the Robert Jordan series, The Wheel of Time that was a very good book series that dealt with essentially the Vico Cycle that I talk about so much. And, of course, Star Wars has been a favorite of mine that was set a long time ago in a far-distant galaxy. Not even our own. Examining abstract concepts in science fiction certainly does help us deal with reality much more effectively and provokes the questions we should be asking. And when you start to do that, you can see truths lost to others, such as why there are so many global wars. Well, especially in the hot zone of the Old Silk Road, many of the conflicts we have these days, such as the war in Israel, and then of Ukraine and the whole Russian puzzle with China and other places that don’t have massive economies, but are perpetually in conflict for some mysterious reason. And I would offer that the best evidence indicates that these regions have very ancient pasts, far extending into what we today consider old. We think of a few thousand years as a lot, but the evidence from many sources, not the same idiots who tried to tell us not to take Ivermectin to deal with the lab-created virus, COVID-19, and that there was no election fraud in 2020, have tried to tell us about true history. But the result of decentralized media that is finally talking about real, substantive issues indicates that the wars of our modern times are purely created to conceal a deep and ancient past, allowing a corrupt global network to remain in power over the human race through sheer deceit.

The Millennium Falcon at the Black Spire Outpost

And that’s what I was thinking about when my family recently visited a very favorite place I have, the Star Wars land at Disney World, Galaxy’s Edge. I’ve always loved that particular science fiction story, and specifically the spaceship, the Millennium Falcon so to see a land where all these things were built and you can walk around and interact with them, was magnificent. So, I found that I was able to get my family to Disney World and to that specific place and we had one of the most marvelous days of our lives, together. But there had been something bothering me over these last few years since I had last visited what they call The Black Spire Outpost that I resolved while there with my family. I had a lot of time to think about it, and it all came together for me during this recent visit. The place reminds me of what Ancient Jerusalem would have looked like in a period of largely unrecorded history, around 8,000 BC, when that region of the world was said to have been a space command center for a landing corridor that was very important in the near east area, where many of our most significant religions were born, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hindu, Buddhism, and Zoroastrianism. And the haunting passage from the Bible that I couldn’t get out of my head was that from Genesis 22:2, “and he said, take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.” This action was in around the 2070s BC, long after any settlement of a spaceport in Jerusalem would have been located there. All Abraham would have seen of Mt. Moriah, where King Solomon, over a thousand years later, would build the great temple and place the Ark of the Covenant, the Ten Commandments, upon that exact spot where Isaac was to be sacrificed, in that precise spot. In 3000 to 5000 years, most stone structures erode away into nothing, so anything that would have been in that region at that time would have long eroded from 8000 BC.

My kids

I’m a fan of Zecharia Sitchin’s books. Many people, especially mainstream scientists, have said that his books are purely science fiction and not based on accurate science. Even Graham Hancock has said such things. But I think those are not fair assessments, and I think time has proven that Zecharia Sitchin was very authentic. He has since died, but his work lives on in his students, who have done some exciting work on the activity on earth that may have occurred based on stories passed down through various cultures that are just as scientific as anything else over a roughly 450,000 year period, which paves the way not only for our current world religions but also the notion we have of kingships and even burial practices. After all the lies that the world’s governments have told us, more people are looking at things that used to be considered wild conspiracy theories and reexamining them with fresh eyes. When looked at with this updated perspective, it becomes evident that the power structures on Earth who desperately want to hold on to what they consider royal bloodlines given to them through heredity wish to maintain their right to rule Earth by controlling what we know of the past, so that is the real cause of all these ridiculous wars. If there are wars, actual science can’t do any research because those regions are too dangerous for that kind of activity. I’m also a fan and dedicated member of the Biblical Archaeology Review Society, and I understand and sympathize with their task of digging and gathering evidence in such a hostile part of the world, politically.

How things likely looked, a long time ago. But not so far away.

For me, uniquely, I had just stepped off a plane from Japan while I was with my family at the Black Spire Outpost and had visited the very ancient site of Ishi-no-Hoden and studied how the modern city of Osaka was built around the Kufan tombs that were built in the shape of keyholes, very mysterious.  Going to the Black Spire Outpost reminded me of what an ancient Jerusalem would have looked like well before there was Abraham, Isaac, or the Jewish people.  A mixture of high technology that could navigate the known galaxy, perhaps even the universe that has long since come and gone interlaced with primitive structures and building methods erected quickly to facilitate the need from a growing economy not rooted to travel on earth.  But what was left behind was some remote memory of these actions lost only to telling stories and an understanding of that truth within our subconscious brains, which most of us share.   And those memories are most effectively communicated through science fiction.  Yet, at the Black Spire Outpost, you can walk around and touch something that may well have been part of our far ancient past only manifested through storytelling.  But it is as accurate as anything else—perhaps more.  The wars in the world that dominate much of our political discussion these days are meant to hide the truth from us, which is why I am talking about them more than ever.  Because we have been lied to, we must have a culture that deals with the past to have an honest future.  The reason that Jerusalem is such a hot zone even to this day is that power is sought in concealing the truth and giving people controlled narratives through religion that keeps them in power and prevents people from learning their true history, which is buried under the streets of Jerusalem well past the typical periods that we have always thought of as ancient, but in reality, are just scratching the surface.

Stonehenge was a Clock: Understanding true history

One of my most treasured books is one by Francis Pryor, an archaeologist who has done much work at Stonehenge, where much evidence has been gathered to arrive at some conclusions about scientific discoveries.  And one of the books by Francis, Britain B.C. I was able to pick up at the actual Stonehenge site.  Over the years, I have been able to correspond with Francis, so I am sympathetic to the archaeologists who do all the hard work digging in the ground.  If you have yet to visit Stonehenge, it’s one of the excellent sites in the world, and they have turned it into a theme park for the consumer.  People who are curious help pay for continued science at the site, increasing our knowledge, which is always something we should be doing.  Just off to the side of the actual dig site of Stonehenge is a long line of tents and RVs that the working archeologists there live in while doing their work.  It is hard work that I respect tremendously. Warm showers are hard to come by as they dig in the dirt day in and day out, living well outside the social parameters of everyday society, and I feel privileged that the summation of that work can be read in books like the ones Francis has written.  Archaeology, like any science, starts with known assumptions, and those opinions can and should alter as more evidence comes in. At Stonehenge, like all other sites around the world, we have started with the idea that primitive hunters and gathers built it to pay reverence to celestial moments, like winter solstice and moon eclipses.  However, the collection of evidence says that primitive cultures made such sites their home after some previous cultures had already built them.  That brings us to the hard reality that we must admit to ourselves to avoid future scandals and an erosion of trust in our educational institutions. 

Stonehenge looks to have been built initially for a race of living creatures who visited the earth from outside our solar system; it’s a clock intended not to measure the movement of the world around the sun but celestial time according to the zodiac, an invention that was not meant to predict the future with advice in the Farmer’s Almanac, but to know when earth was in processional time according to the 25,900 years it takes to move through all the houses of the zodiac.  People visiting Earth would have to know when they were in time, not so much where they were.  So, all over the earth, we see these mounds and stone features that date back to the Ice Age in some places, all concerned with measuring celestial time, which has a very standard rhythm of 433,000 years, much longer than the observance of a single cycle could have utilized.  No matter how good a culture was at math, we are looking at a culture that could know the zodiac elements after a great history of determining its variations over an extremely long period.  Most likely, the evidence of these cultures is long gone, eroded by a very destructive earth.  So, our scale for discovering all this evidence is way off.  We tend to think of Mesopotamian culture and the Egyptians as being old.  But the truth is, they are all very young and share a relationship with people who have already been on earth for a long time.  Just like today, primitive people who didn’t have much technology were around, too, and tended to interact with such sites.  But they didn’t build them. 

That’s no small thing to admit to, but such evidence can even be found in Hamilton, Ohio, near my home at the site known as Fort Hill, which is at the Pyramid Hill preservation complex.  There, we see a giant boar mound in reverence to Aries’s zodiac sign as the earth moves from Taurus processionally.  Embedded in the tail is much information on the Pleiades star system, which would not be known to any primitive people.  This means everything we have assumed about the human race’s origins has been wrong.  The growing evidence found in such sites as Stonehenge does not indicate any evolutionary growth but relatively instant arrival and building things that lasted on the ground for a long time.  Traveling through space has its challenges.  A traveler may arrive instantly based on their internal clocks, but coming and going a lot relative to Earth, tens of thousands of years could have gone by because gravity and time are linked in ways that we are just beginning to unravel.  Gravity makes time work differently relative to its strength.  So, travelers coming to earth would need to know when they arrived, not so much in paying reverence to the gods as pagans viewed such activity.  Stonehenge looks to have been a practical invention to be a clock for celestial travelers.  They made sites like Stonehenge, Avebury, and Serpent Mound in Ohio easy to see from the air and made them out of materials that would withstand the erosion rate.  If you are going to leave a marker for when you get back, just like putting a ribbon on a tree in the forest so you don’t get lost, you want it to be there when you return.  And so it is that the earth is covered with all these markers.  Earth was a global community of visitors from outer space long before the Ice Age existed. 

That doesn’t mean that all the discoveries of arrowheads and bone fragments aren’t relevant.  Science works by putting what you know into a provable pile and building assumptions based on that evidence. But when it comes to unknowns, you put them into another pile.  And that other pile has now added up to the apparent conclusion that Earth was a global culture well before the times of the Bible.  And the people at the time understood that complex problem, even if they never had access to international travel.  They certainly heard the stories and created the mythology we can still study today.  Yet we allow current cultures to lie to us the way they do about fiscal budgets or even religion because they want, like all primitive people from the past, to be the latest versions of gods on earth, like the primitive hunters and gatherers have been for each generation that picked up a rock and threw it at a living thing to attempt to dominate it in some way.  We aren’t just talking about one species of interplanetary traveler, but many of them, and the markers they put on earth are varied but universal in their need to predict processional time celestially.  The need to tell time was the priority and nothing else.  But not time as determined on Earth by a people of the world, but as the planet moves through the galaxy of the Milky Way.  And before we can function from the truth of our ancient past, we must understand that it is far different from the infantile assumptions we have made.  Suppose we are to be a species insistent on the truth. In that case, we must stop diluting ourselves with previous assumptions about social diffusion that are outdated with new evidence beyond the scale of our typical measurements.

The Indians Were Not Indigenous to North America, Aliens Were: What we have learned about the giants found around the world

It’s not hard to see how it happened; if you understand politics, you know that mass populations are easily controlled by a political system that can capture a narrative, and humans, by nature, are best communicated with through story. So, if you own the story, you control the population, the primary focus of religions, and the politics that have spawned from them since recorded time. But this line of questions for me started in 2009 while at the Mothman Festival in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, and I picked up a map that had known burial sites of giants, people of gigantic stature. I thought that was interesting, so I have kept my ears open since then for evidence as it has come in. And as that evidence has been collected, it is pretty evident that in the Ohio River Valley and across the world, just about everywhere, especially in mound-building cultures, are the remains of giant people. That is why there isn’t better archaeology looking into the contents of these mounds, even in China and Japan and all over the Near East, specifically the many mounds of Israel that are essentially of the same construction and design. It came alive for me after visiting Stonehenge that something was strange because I saw the same features that I saw at home in Southern Ohio. And once you learn that the mounds weren’t burial in their orientation as much as they were intended to be celestial clocks, then suddenly things start making a lot more sense, which is the case of a massive earthwork near my home at Fort Hill, in downtown Hamilton, Ohio, and Serpent Mound about an hour and a half to the east.

Knowing what I do now, I am very comfortable calling it; the earth was settled by life from other places in space, likely many different species, and they have probably been interacting with us all along.  But they come and go, and when they arrive on earth to settle or for visits, they need to know when they are.  And that is the purpose of things like Stonehenge, the features at Göbekli Tepe, and even the mysterious Keyhole tombs in Japan.  We are dealing with a culture that lived quite well and vibrantly in what we call the Archaic Period, from the age of Leo and Tauras, and dying out around the age of Aries, only to emerge into what we now call Biblical ancient.  We know that because once you stop trying to look at history through what you find lying around the ground, which decays and erodes rather quickly, and start understanding that you measure activity in celestial time, which is the purpose of inventing the zodiac always was, relevant to stable ground features described, then you start to get the picture.  And the people doing all this were huge, called giants.  And that the Bible refers to as the Nephilim.  Only they were a global culture that understood how to navigate across the oceans, and they did so frequently.  Our assumption that hunters and gatherers rubbed sticks together and migrated across a land bridge into North America during an Ice Age period is, by now, just ridiculous.

But, the world’s politics has wanted us to think of them as gods and to worship them and their time of rule on earth.  So, they have been working to conceal this information behind the mechanisms of institutionalism.  To maintain that story, they have been trying to sell us all on this idea of indigenous people and that America should never have been settled by Christopher Columbus in 1492 because we interrupted the harmony of a nature-loving group of nomads with capitalism.  But that was all a lie; the Indians were not indigenous to North America.  Aliens were.  The Indians were the latest visitors migrating around the earth for thousands of years.  The way things look, we are dealing with at least 400,000 years of human history.  Probably longer.  We only see what hasn’t eroded yet, but there has been a lot of intelligent life on Earth over a long period.  That doesn’t mean there weren’t hunters and gatherers doing their thing, just as we can find such people worldwide today.  There were always homeless people not living within a structured society.  But our assumptions about life and how we arrived where we are, based on abundant evidence, are entirely wrong.  I think today, if we had reasonable archaeology into the many mounds of the world, we would find in them skeletons, like have been found at the Miamisburg Mound just south of Dayton, Ohio, lots of 8- to 10-foot-tall people.  The fact that nobody is seriously studying this matter tells you everything you need to know.  The social narrative of the exploitation of so-called indigenous people is far more valuable to the current political order of global communism than the truth of scientific discovery.  The evidence is so abundant, mainly by private investigations, not science funded by government grants committed to a political narrative, that there is no longer a question. 

I was always weary of this kind of alien settlement thinking until I watched the world’s governments lie to our faces about COVID-19.  We all know that the virus was artificially made in China and released to the public in a way that the world’s governments knew about.  They had even role-played the response, which Bill Gates led the effort.  They were so arrogant about their ability to lie to the public through controlled narratives that they essentially painted themselves in a corner and had to tip-toe through that wet paint to reveal their guilt.  Part of the reason for the arrogance, a big part of it, was their success in manipulating religious and scientific narratives to the public, such as they have gotten away with the indigenous people’s history, arbitrarily picking a habitation date of 1600 AD to 1800 AD, and saying that they were the indigenous people of North America and that all migration was evil so that the greatness of America can be delegitimized to the world and they would clamor for Chinese style communism because of their associated guilt.  People didn’t question the narrative much, which inflated the egos of those who seek to control narratives in the world so they can easily control masses of people.  So now that we know that aliens, or rather, our ancestors, came here from other planets, do we call them the indigenous people?  Or were they the invaders of what was here before?  But we know there was a global civilization that dates back all over the world into times during and even before the last ice age.  And that what was left behind were fragments of their previous cultures that were quite advanced, as we can see in all these ground-based celestial clocks that still have crop circles appearing next to them all the time as if someone were writing notes on the ground to figure out when they were in time and space.  Since time doesn’t move the same everywhere in the solar system, the galaxy, or the universe, which is the giveaway, they were concerned with time and the way we would wear a watch to measure our rotation to the sun.  These very tall people and others needed to know relative to their orientations in space when they arrived on Earth.  Was it 100 years later, or many thousands?  And that is the way we must look at history in the future.  Not in the way we have been.  Or allow governments and institutions to lie to us to control a narrative that benefits them politically when science says otherwise.

The Ring of King Solomon: Asmodeos and the keys to a demonic past

This is a bit of a footnote on some projects I have going, which involve King Solomon, his ring of power and the influence of jinn and kami in various world cultures.  King Solomon’s Ring is a fabled object of immense power and wisdom that has captivated the human imagination for thousands of years. Many legends and stories have been passed down about its incredible abilities, but its true existence remains a mystery. Nonetheless, the tale of King Solomon’s Ring continues to inspire and intrigue people even to this day.

According to the ancient stories, King Solomon was given the ring by an angel, and it became a symbol of his great power and wealth. The ring was said to have the power to control demons and spirits and to grant its wearer immense knowledge and wisdom. It was also believed to have the power to heal the sick and to protect its wearer from harm.

Despite the many legends that surround King Solomon’s Ring, its true existence remains a mystery. Some scholars believe that the ring was a metaphor for the wisdom and power that King Solomon possessed, while others believe that it was a real object that has been lost to the ages.

One thing is certain, however – the story of King Solomon’s Ring has had a profound impact on human culture and history. It has inspired countless works of art, literature, and music, and it has been the subject of intense study and speculation by scholars and historians for centuries.

In the end, the true nature of King Solomon’s Ring may never be known. But its legacy lives on, inspiring us to seek out wisdom and knowledge, and reminding us of the power of legend and myth to capture the human imagination.

King Solomon’s Temple is one of the most iconic and enduring structures in human history. Built in ancient times by King Solomon himself, it is a testament to the great wealth and power of the Israelite kingdom. But who exactly built this magnificent temple? Many historians and scholars have debated this question for centuries, and the answer remains elusive to this day.

Some believe that King Solomon himself oversaw the construction of the temple, using his immense wealth and resources to bring his vision to life. Others argue that he employed skilled artisans and craftsmen from across the kingdom to complete the work, drawing on their expertise and experience to create something truly remarkable.

Still, others suggest that King Solomon may have enlisted the help of supernatural forces to build the temple, calling upon angels or other divine beings to assist him in the construction process. While this theory may seem far-fetched, it is not entirely without merit, given the many stories and legends that have been passed down throughout history about King Solomon’s incredible powers and abilities.

Regardless of who built the temple, there is no denying its remarkable beauty and grandeur. From its soaring columns and intricate carvings to its shimmering gold and precious stone decorations, the temple is a testament to the skill and artistry of its creators. Even today, thousands of years after its construction, the temple remains a symbol of the Israelite kingdom’s power and influence, and a reminder of the incredible achievements that can be accomplished by those who dare to dream big and work hard to make their dreams a reality.

In conclusion, the question of who built King Solomon’s Temple remains a mystery to this day. While there are many theories and legends surrounding its construction, the truth may never be known for certain. Nonetheless, the temple remains a remarkable achievement of human ingenuity and creativity,

Hiram Abiff is a prominent figure in the world of Masonic symbolism and ritual. He is a central character in the legend of the building of King Solomon’s Temple, which is a foundational story in Masonic lore. According to legend, Hiram Abiff was the chief architect and master craftsman of the Temple, and his death at the hands of three jealous apprentices is a tragic and important event in Masonic history.

The legend of Hiram Abiff is a complex and multi-layered story that has been interpreted and re-interpreted by Masonic scholars and practitioners for centuries. At its core, however, the story is a morality tale about the importance of truth, fidelity, and honor in the Masonic brotherhood.

According to the legend, Hiram Abiff was a skilled craftsman who was entrusted with the task of building King Solomon’s Temple. He was known for his uncompromising commitment to excellence and his unwavering dedication to the craft of building. However, his great skill and success also made him a target of envy and jealousy among some of his fellow craftsmen.

Three of Hiram Abiff’s apprentices, known as the “ruffians,” conspired to steal the secrets of his craft by force. They demanded that Hiram reveal the “Master Mason’s Word,” which was believed to be a powerful and sacred secret that only the most skilled and worthy Masons knew. Hiram refused to divulge the secret, even under threat of death.

The ruffians then attacked Hiram, first striking him with a mallet and then stabbing him with a chisel. Hiram died, but not before uttering a powerful and cryptic message that has become central to Masonic symbolism: “Ma-ha-bone.”

The death of Hiram Abiff is a tragic event in Masonic history, but it is also a powerful symbol of the importance of fidelity and honor in the Masonic brotherhood. Hiram’s refusal to reveal the Master Mason’s Word, even under threat of death, is seen as a powerful example of the importance of keeping one’s commitments and upholding one’s obligations in the face of adversity.

Today, Hiram Abiff remains a powerful symbol in the world of Masonic symbolism and ritual. His story is told and retold in Masonic lodges around the world, and his death is commemorated in elaborate ceremonies that are meant to inspire and instruct Masonic initiates.

In conclusion, Hiram Abiff is a central character in the legend of the building of King Solomon’s Temple, and his tragic death at the hands of three jealous apprentices is a powerful symbol of the importance of fidelity and honor in the Masonic brotherhood. His story continues to inspire and instruct Masonic practitioners around the world, and his legacy remains an important part of Masonic lore and tradition. and a testament to the enduring legacy of King Solomon and the Israelite kingdom.

Asmodeus is a fascinating figure in the world of biblical lore. According to the legends, Asmodeus was a powerful demon who helped King Solomon build his temple. But who was Asmodeus, and what drove him to assist the king in such a monumental task?

To answer these questions, we must first delve into the origins of Asmodeus. According to the Book of Tobit, Asmodeus was originally an angel who fell from grace and became a demon. He was said to be one of the seven princes of hell, ruling over the sin of lust. He was also known as the “destroyer,” due to his penchant for causing chaos and destruction.

Despite his demonic nature, Asmodeus was said to have a fascination with humans. He was known to possess humans and engage in sexual acts with them, often resulting in the birth of monstrous offspring. This behavior earned him a reputation as a powerful and dangerous demon, one who was feared by many.

So why would Asmodeus help Solomon build his temple? Some believe that Asmodeus was motivated by a desire to gain access to the holy site. Others speculate that he was seeking redemption for his sins and saw assisting the king as a way to achieve it.

Regardless of his motivations, it is clear that Asmodeus played a critical role in the construction of the temple. According to the legends, he used his powers to help Solomon locate and mine the precious stones and metals needed for the temple’s construction. He also provided Solomon with the knowledge and expertise needed to design and build the temple’s intricate architecture.

But Asmodeus’s assistance came at a cost. In exchange for his help, Solomon was said to have given Asmodeus the power to tempt and corrupt humans. This power allowed Asmodeus to continue his wicked ways, and he became even more feared and reviled by those who knew of his involvement in the temple’s construction.

Despite the controversy surrounding Asmodeus’s role in the construction of the temple, there is no denying that his contributions were critical to its success. Without his help, Solomon may never have been able to complete the project, and the temple may never have become the revered holy site that it is today.

In conclusion, Asmodeus is a complex and fascinating figure in biblical lore. His role in the construction of Solomon’s temple has been the subject of much debate and speculation, but there is no denying that his contributions were critical to its success. While his demonic nature may be troubling to some, it is clear that Asmodeus played a critical role in the history of the Jewish faith.

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 Brotherhood of the Snake

I was on the line shooting fast draw at the end of July, and my phone just wouldn’t stop going off, notifying me that my blog site was getting over 1000 hits per hour, which is about 900 more than usual.  Apparently, many people had discovered an article I wrote in March of 2015 on The Brotherhood of the Snake, which is much more of an influence in our political world than many people want to believe.  Since this is obviously new information for a lot of people, here is the link to the original article and some general information about this one of many secret societies that operate behind a very thin veil of social protocol.  I think a good understanding of occult practices is important to understanding political science.  It’s not enough to understand what people believe but why they believe it.  And that is certainly the case behind The Brotherhood of the Snake. 

The Brotherhood of the Snake is a secret society that has been shrouded in mystery and intrigue for centuries. Its origins can be traced back to ancient times when humanity was still struggling to understand the world around them.

According to legend, the Brotherhood was founded by a group of enlightened beings who sought to share their knowledge and wisdom with the rest of humanity. They believed that by doing so, they could help humanity evolve and reach its full potential.

Over the centuries, the Brotherhood has remained hidden from the rest of the world, operating in secret and working tirelessly to achieve their goals. Their influence can be felt in every corner of the globe, from the halls of power in Washington D.C. to the remote villages of Africa.

One of the most interesting aspects of the Brotherhood’s history is their connection to the ancient civilizations of the world. Many scholars believe that the Brotherhood played a key role in the development of these civilizations, providing them with the knowledge and technology they needed to thrive.

The Brotherhood’s connection to ancient Egypt, in particular, is well-documented. It is believed that the Brotherhood helped the Egyptians build the pyramids and develop their advanced knowledge of mathematics and astronomy.

In addition to their work with ancient civilizations, the Brotherhood has also played a key role in shaping the course of human history. They have been involved in everything from wars and revolutions to scientific discoveries and political movements.

Despite their vast influence, the Brotherhood has remained largely unknown to the general public. Their secrecy and mystique have made them the subject of countless conspiracy theories and legends.

One of the most intriguing theories about the Brotherhood is that they are connected to a group of extraterrestrial beings known as the Anunnaki. According to this theory, the Anunnaki visited Earth in ancient times and shared their knowledge with the Brotherhood, who then passed it on to humanity.

While there is no concrete evidence to support this theory, it is a testament to the mysterious nature of the Brotherhood.

Despite their secrecy, the Brotherhood has attracted a number of high-profile members over the years. Some of the most famous include Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton, and Benjamin Franklin.

These individuals were drawn to the Brotherhood’s commitment to knowledge and enlightenment. They saw the Brotherhood as a place where they could explore their ideas and share their discoveries with like-minded individuals.

Today, the Brotherhood continues to operate in secret, working tirelessly to achieve their goals and shape the course of human history. While their methods may be controversial, there is no denying the impact they have had on the world.

In many ways, the Brotherhood of the Snake represents the best and worst of humanity. On the one hand, they are committed to knowledge and enlightenment, seeking to help humanity evolve and reach its full potential. On the other hand, their secrecy and manipulation of events can be seen as a threat to individual freedom and autonomy.

Regardless of your opinion of the Brotherhood, there is no denying their impact on human history. Their legacy will continue to be felt for centuries to come, shaping the course of human events and inspiring generations to come.

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

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

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

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

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

Testimony about UFOs to Congress Under Oath: Governments that lie to people are far more dangerous than aliens

This is the problem with collectivist-based systems; I told you guys what was happening with the UFOs.  Nobody is ever in charge when the Administrative State puts forth an explanation.  This is also why studying ancient cultures and what you can learn from their attempts and mistakes is good.  Collectivism has yet to work where society behaves like some organism of cells in a body without a brain.  In such a society of goo, it’s easy to hide genuinely terrible things, and that is the summary of what kind of UFO testimony has been put forth to members of Congress under sworn disclosure.  To settle the matter, I have been spending a lot more time this year talking about UFOs because I didn’t want people to be shocked when the government started talking in a way that would migrate to full disclosure.  That is our government and people from other planets, and not just one species, but many, over ten have been talking for a long time.  And they have been sharing information all that time and hiding it from the general public for all the same reasons churches didn’t want people reading the Bible for themselves but wanted a priest to interpret everything for them or a regional king so that there would be some insulation between our society and these interplanetary interactions.  In this increasingly open world, it’s getting harder to keep quiet.  It was much easier back when three networks performed broadcast television and a few radio stations.  The government could control, to some extent, the newspapers, and everyone reported the same sort of thing, as strong personalities headed most corporations.  But in these days, where the Administrative State essentially runs like a blob of collectivism, and nobody is really in charge of anything, the reports to Congress that UFOs have been coming and going and that it is more than machinery that we have been gathering and analyzing, but people too has been shocking to some.  It’s information that isn’t new but is bursting forth because of all the other things that are suddenly much worse to realize. 

Because of mass collectivism, nobody is ever responsible for anything, and now that the mistakes of steering society in that direction have been obvious and are falling apart everywhere, that same mass organism of mass blob is trying to conceal itself with UFO talk, just as I have been saying for a few years now was going to happen.  I have known about this for a long time and am not surprised by these recent reports.  It’s only to those who have assumed that the government’s secrecy on the matter had a point of social safety where the disillusionment comes into play.  The evidence shows that visitors from all over the current galaxy and universe, who exist on many dimensional levels, are relatively abundant.  But it doesn’t fit well within the understanding that people are too busy taking their kids to soccer practice to wrap their minds around the concept.  But in most ancient cultures, they interacted with elements of the supernatural, most of which sound like modern-day UFO abductions.  Today’s governments have bypassed that information and contained it within a safety narrative to show society they were in control of the situation and needed tax money to keep mysterious things from coming in the night and abducting them to anal probes.  In the past, as governments rose and fell, these stories fell to religions to explain, which embodies most of what we know about mythology. 

My position on UFOs is not that they are a big deal but that we are essentially them.  We come from all over the place.  And if they were so much brighter than we were, we’d know it by now.  The government has maintained the illusion that they are superior for their own needs to obtain power, driven by mass collectivism.   But now there are so many crimes that have been committed by government, the mass tampering with the global economy, the threat of technology to take over the world essentially, the deaths caused by government bioweapons such as Covid, and the fake wars that are losing their effect on the world stage.  Nobody cares about Ukraine, Russia, or the other propped-up bodies on Earth, such as China.  People are sick of being lied to.  They are sick of stolen elections.  They are sick of the government trying to micromanage their lives with vaccines, fake media, and corrupt politics, all run by the blob of collectivism presented to us as abundant, global communism.  I have said for years that as reckless as government has been, with all its lack of leadership, it exists for the animal impulses of sex, food, and material acquisition which is evident if you ever visit the suburbs of current-day Washington D.C., and nothing else.  For all the power of government that it has acquired through secret knowledge, it has essentially wasted it all on nonsense, which is the net result of the congressional testimony of July 2023, and the media reporting on it as if it’s one of the biggest news stories in the history of the world.  It’s not. 

Studying ancient cultures is fun for me and has been infinitely fascinating because people believed what they did and for how long.  And to what extent they invested themselves into a future and how successful their string of thoughts was.  I concluded that most civilizations received a jump start by interacting with celestial travelers.  Those travelers aren’t much more intelligent or wiser than we are today; they have just developed a few more toys to play with because they come from societies that lasted longer and had the means to build them.  But they have the same problem everyone else does; they don’t have stable communities that last infinitely, and the struggle between individual leadership and classic blob collectivism is a genuine problem not just here on Earth but throughout the galaxy.  And it’s only at the end of such a cycle, as we are in now, that reluctant governments are finally willing to admit to what has been known all along.  The evidence is all around us and is grotesquely evident in places like Peru, where deforestation has revealed many ancient cultures that predate the Incans by many thousands of years.  Probably, tens of thousands of years.  Perhaps hundreds and millions, and there is nothing left of those cultures because of the rate of erosion geologically.  It is only now that this criminal government, with all its tampering with the human race and is now stacked up with mistake upon mistake upon error, that they are willing to give up a little power of knowledge to hopefully suppress their truly criminal complicity in destroying the human race yet again, for the thousandth time.  The UFO talk is to cover up their crimes against humanity.  Sure, the UFOs are real.  The interaction with many species from many other planets all over the galaxy is quite common.  Unfortunately, they have been talking to the wrong people, the governments of the world, who have been approaching them with the false philosophy of kingly control over mass populations.  And as it always has, that is precisely how you destroy a society, and advancement stops every time.  UFOs and their occupants are not a big deal.  But governments that lie to their people are one of the most destructive elements in the universe.  And is the real story we should be concerned with.  The government keeps the information a secret for national security reasons. But they ask for more power based on all the things you don’t know that only they interpret are dangerous. Trust them! But experience says they are far more dangerous than what aliens might bring with them.  They ask for more power over things only they know about for reasons only they understand, which was a con game from the beginning.

The World Economic Scam of Yuval Harari: A cult of Death and Sacrifice of little children as advertised on 60 Minutes

My target audience here is not the masses; however, they are welcome to participate.  Rather I see this all as battlefield recon to the influencers who actually make things happen.  I put these frequent articles out as often as I do and on the variety of subjects I do for media personalities who run popular shows and podcasts, along with traditional news programs to inspire them with original content.  My management style in life, and the reason my advice holds up under tremendous pressure, is that what I do is very valuable to a lot of people in the world, and I can afford not to make a living off this kind of dialogue, otherwise, these kinds of conversations don’t happen.  And often, things happen so fast and are so interconnected that there isn’t time to write a book on the topic because, by the time you do, the issue has already come and gone.  So, I write these articles to keep these topics as close to the front of the train as possible, using the metaphor on the Metaphysics of Quality from Robert Pirsig as an example.  There isn’t time for accolades or promotion because the goal is to fight the battle faster than the caboose where our news media lives and provides information to those masses.  To win this fight, we must be faster and wiser, and we are.  This is certainly the case regarding Yuval Harari, the little gay guy philosopher and personal advisor for the World Economic Forum, which many people consider to be one of the most intelligent people in the world; people like Barack Obama, Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, and those types of influential people.  I don’t think he’s brilliant at all, and while doing my own research on him, I figured things out pretty fast. 

It’s not just because he’s a gay guy that Yuval Harari has not been someone I pay much attention to.  As a lot of Americans feel about him, Yuval is not my kind of guy, intellectually.  He’s a timid, fearful little fella.  But for the sake of understanding the mentality of the World Economic Forum types, I did read a few of Yuval’s books, especially Sapiens, and I quickly saw the same old scam perpetrated on the human race since the beginning of time.  And much of that scam was revealed in plain site when Anderson Cooper, another gay guy, this time from 60 Minutes, did a particular segment on Yuval Harari to prop him up as some great, wise master of history.  But in so doing, they filmed a significant portion of their interview at Tel Gezer, between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, which was the ancient Canaanite site of the mass sacrifice of children.  I covered a particular segment on Tel Gezer recently, specifically for reasons like this, where people need to connect the dots and understand what kind of religious order we are dealing with here regarding globalists and World Economic Forum types.  This is why the Bible is important, so that context to these ancient struggles can be understood and once they are, then the kind of evil we are dealing with involving these modern-day radicals are the identical precise elements that we have been fighting since the dawn of mankind, out of all the places that Yuval Harari, the progressive futurist, and professor from Israel, took Anderson Cooper to the ancient archaeological site that was dedicated to the deity Moloch, part of the pantheon of Baal worshipers that God was so mad at in the Old Testament.  It’s the spot where a young girl was found sacrificed after being cut in half, and further evidence of the mass sacrifice of children was haphazardly discovered in a pile all thrown together.  It’s a grisly site, and not precisely the kind of place anybody but anti-Christian forces would consider celebrating.

 And this is how the game works; on the 60 Minutes promotion of Yuval Harari and his utterances that a new god was in the world that needed to be worshipped were two gay guys, as if to normalize perverse sexual lifestyles while celebrating with a wink and a nod a place that sacrificed to the god Moloch, which was the devourer of children.  Canaanites used to sacrifice abundantly to Moloch, often their firstborn, because it meant more because of the value.  It was a common practice that we see very much in the efforts of the World Economic Forum, where they do believe the earth is overpopulated, and there are plans to kill off many people to preserve their pagan gods of the earth.  Worshiping the god Moloch isn’t some ancient thing; it’s very much the religion of the day for them and is behind the abortion movement.  And Covid, in many ways, is the desire to control mass civilization through medicine and to preserve the earth as if it were a deity of its own, connected to these ancient gods from historic times.  And that’s what is ultimately behind the transhumanist movement, which Yuval is trying to sell to the world, the idea that technology is the new Moloch in the world and that we must worship it with continued human sacrifice to fulfill the depopulation agenda.  When you wonder where the World Economic Forum gets a lot of its dumb ideas, many of them come from Yuval Harari and his obvious hatred for the human race, likely for lots of reasons.  He is far from a normal person, but he’s being sold to us so that we think he’s smart and should be listened to.  Yet essentially, he’s just like a high priest from Canaan who practices abundant child sacrifice to the ancient gods, which was essentially the plot of the Bible from beginning to end.  What is evil, and what do we do about it?  And who is God? Is it the old Canaanite pantheon or this new guy Yahweh who thought sacrificing children was a horrible idea?

Yuval Harari is a scam, a tool of the World Economic Forum to resurrect ancient gods and use them to take over the world, and yes, it is that crazy.  It’s every bit that crazy, and everything they touch, from arts and entertainment to finance, politics, ethics, and science, is bent toward this human-hating scam and desire to appease the spirit world of the ancient Canaanites, and other regional gods from the old world, specifically Egypt. They think, the Desecrators of Davos types, that the Bible is for idiots, that they know the old religions that predate the Christian view of the world, and that they are superior to that knowledge, which they parade in front of us with a wink and a nod.  But if you understand history well, and deal with a lot of interconnecting subjects, like I endeavor to do on this very fast-moving site, then you can catch them on it.  And then understand what they are up to and why they want to conquer the world.  But technology isn’t as scary as they’d like you to believe.  And it certainly isn’t the new god to worship with the sacrifice of little kids.  Yet that is their justification for what they do and why they do it.  And it’s what we must fight with that understanding to defeat.  Rationalizing with them will never work because they are evil and actually quite insane.  But knowing their motives is needed so that we can stop treating them and begin to see them for the enemy they are and the hostile assailants against all human activity at the core of their not-so-well-disguised religion.

The Real Tim Ballard: Is it all just a CIA case of misdirection

It is lazy to just mindlessly trust anything, especially authority figures, and I was wondering while watching the new very good movie, The Sound of Freedom, how the real-life Tim Ballard did it, blending in with the cartels to act like one of them so that trust could be earned to break open the pedophile rings of modern slavery that are so much a modern problem.  You’re hanging around drug dealers and the scum of the earth, and you are trying to win them over.  There would be no way to pull it off being straight as an arrow; otherwise, they would never trust you.  You’d have to show an interest in kids and pretend to be attracted to them, which Tim Ballard had to do at the beginning of the film when he was trying to get into the mind of a significant pedophile consumer.  The movie lightly touched on that kind of life and focused excessively on the Christian side of reality.  It purposely made Tim Ballard into a hero and glorified his efforts almost to the point of a John Wayne movie.  I personally enjoyed the results.  I wanted to see a hero.  I wanted to see someone who was so firm in their convictions that it could make the tough subject matter of the movie go down easier.  But I’ll have to admit; I had doubts that Tim Ballard’s life was so heroic.  He’s likely had to see and do many things that are very embarrassing to gain the trust of the world’s scum bags.  And I’m sure those things didn’t feel very heroic to him.  But would we ever catch any of these people if he didn’t do those things? 

I gave Sound of Freedom a great review; I think it was a top-notch movie, and it’s worth seeing, for the subject matter was very serious.  But I’m also proud of many people who have let me know that there is a serious possibility that this entire movie has been a CIA operation to attempt to restore their tarnished brand with the targeted religious right.  And it would be a common trick by those types of intelligence agencies to hide much more serious crimes behind misdirection efforts.  After all, the criminals in Sound of Freedom are nobody, dime-a-dozen scum bags from Columbia and Mexico.  Nobody will miss them if they are arrested and thrown in jail forever or killed in a gun fight upon arrest.  The sex trafficking of children would continue, and life would continue as we know it.  And that was the entire point of the Tim Ballard true story, to show how deep undercover and into the danger zone he was willing to go to save a couple of kids from that terrible life.  But people have been quick to point out that the money trail does trace back to Clinton supporters and that when the CIA asked Tim Ballard to become part of Homeland Security to take on this human trafficking role because he was a person of faith and they felt that would give him a lifeline out, and back to reality without falling apart, its entirely possible this is the kind of chess game they had in mind all along.  That the story Sound of Freedom would give the religious right some red meat and hope it appeases them and makes them go back to sleep.  Because the actual crimes were in the Beltway among the rich and famous.  The Hollywood culture that likes to consume adrenochrome for its pursuits of immortal life, their own Epic of Gilgamesh in Beverly Hills.

In that regard, The Sound of Freedom played it very safe.  The bad guys were terrible, and everyone could agree on who they were.  And the entire movie was about chasing down a few of those types of people to the ends of the earth.  But it didn’t deal with John Podesta’s Pizzagate controversy and the high-end user debacles of Epstein Island that are undoubtedly major problems in the news, and to what role the CIA plays in feeding this criminal network, just as they have been caught doing with the illegal drug network.  The cartels have risen to fill a market need.  So why is there a market need?  Sound of Freedom points out the problem in a way that essentially says, “hey, look over there, at those bad people deep in the rebel-held territory of Columbia.  But don’t look at the safe house in Washington D.C. that is feeding these kids to consumers in Chevy Chase, Maryland, while dad sneaks away from the home, telling the family he’s working late.  But what he’s really trying to do is have sex with kids hoping to psychologically turn back the clock before he has made a bunch of unforgivable mistakes in life.”  And then how do intelligence agencies and corporations use such compromised people to gain power in the world through extortion?  Some huge questions in Sound of Freedom are deliberately pushed off to the side for narrative convenience.  If the movie did tackle those topics, it would likely be very depressing, and it would be hard to justify the price of a ticket. 

I personally think the CIA uses people like Tim for just these kinds of purposes.  And the role that Angel Studios plays in the distribution of this movie I think is sincere.  I love The Chosen and think the family who set up that studio are good people trying to do good things for all the right reasons.  But are they all being used to contain the message of child trafficking to acceptable limits determined by the CIA?  Well, probably.  This is a story that props up government efforts against sex trafficking and makes you want to cheer on the good guys punishing the bad guys.  But it’s pretty safe in the stereotypes.  The CIA has no problem throwing a few lowlifes under the bus for their own preservation.  And I’m glad people are talking about the Sound of Freedom in such an “awake” way.  It’s good to be skeptical.  And it’s good to question Tim Ballard’s and his wife’s integrity.  I want to believe there are people like him in the world and that we aren’t all being played for suckers.  But experience says that such people don’t exist.  Either way, The Sound of Freedom is a movie worth telling to an audience that needs to hear it.  But trust in government and government workers in Homeland Security and the CIA is a bridge too far.  There is a lot more evil going on in the world besides the terrible circumstances of this movie.  And when the CIA starts standing for good in the hard cases and busting the rich and famous on moral grounds of right and wrong, we can have a different conversation.  But as of now, we must scrutinize everyone because institutionalism tends to corrupt everything it touches, even the good people who work within it with an “ends justify the means” mentality.  Playing nice with the bad guys usually means doing bad things too.  And that’s not something to celebrate.  It’s something to punish.
