Future Debates are Over: Trump is redefining the expectations of politics for the better

It’s an exciting trend, not a surprising one, but certainly telling, and that is debates no longer matter in presidential politics, and as a byproduct of that, money is much less of a factor.  One thing that was grossly obvious in the last Fox News debate was how much things have changed in just a very short period, and if you watched it, or at least some of it as I did, you can see a desperation from the cable news networks to assert a power that they used to have over the process, which they are desperate to hang on to.  Among those under 10% types, there was a consistency to bend allegiance to the media moguls who wanted to set the presidential agenda around consultants and Beltway priorities to keep a globalist narrative on track.  And Trump wisely stepped beyond those controls, leaving essentially the old-world Republicans to battle it out for the bottom in an utterly meaningless debate.  While the discussion was occurring, Trump, of course, did his now famous Tucker Carlson interview, which very quickly gathered up a quarter of a billion views, so the differences in future state politics and the past that have been primarily controlled by consulting firms and media tycoons couldn’t be more obvious.  It’s all about the horse race and the coverage leading up to it for all the parasites who have injected themselves into the process and, over time, taken complete control of the narrative.  But that’s changing now, as it should have long ago.  All presidential politics should be about managing the republic and nothing else.  However, just like in sports, we have turned a game into it, and many people have figured out how to make a living off the coverage of that game. Some have even toyed with the idea that they can run the country if only they force the candidates to stay within the debate framework established by the media. 

One of the big arguments that were made toward Trump joining the Fox News debate was that if the President started a trend of not participating in discussions, then Joe Biden would likely skip doing any arguments in 2024.  Well, I have news for everyone: Joe Biden will never do any more debates.  His handlers will not put him on a stage to talk outside a controlled format.  It’s just not going to happen.  There will be no presidential debates in 2024, which, of course, all the people who make their living covering the horse race of politics find devastating.  But that’s a good thing because all those tag-alongs were useless anyway.  The debates in elections were meant to show people who the candidates were.  But they have evolved into setting the presidential agenda.  Everyone knows who Trump is; he’s the most famous person on Earth.  Nobody is going to learn anything new about Trump after a debate.  The only people who would benefit would be the people hosting the discussion and trying to sell airtime while covering the horse race of politics.  That is essentially all Fox News is and has been for a long time.  They cover the horse race but don’t care much for what horse wins.  They make their money off the event’s coverage, not the actual results in the aftermath.  This kind of culture has led to all the wrong priorities, leading blank-minded candidates to dance to the strings of media owners who then take the business of the republic and form fit it into their business needs. 

During his last term, Trump showed how easy it is to fix many of these issues that consultants have been getting in the way of for a long time, which has hidden itself behind the debate culture of the past.  That’s another reason the media hates Trump; he has exposed this game.  He doesn’t need the money that donors can give, and he doesn’t need the media to make him into a star.  He’s his own person, which infuriates the consultant class.  They can’t make him who he is; he doesn’t need them, which is one of the scariest realities they could have for a lot of people who are parasites in the world–not to be needed, and Trump doesn’t.  It also points out the political change where money is used to buy influence.  Money doesn’t have so much power these days because the game used to be that the media would make a star out of a candidate, and that star would then use that success to raise money, so the money could then be used to buy airtime on the media that created the star, to begin with.  Trump has stepped over that entire process altogether.  It’s all been a shell game that has benefited the wrong people.  The voters have been used to generate the money, but they never get what they want out of politics, leaving everyone perpetually hungry for the next horse race, which Fox News starts covering three years before an election.  It’s been a big scam that does nothing to help solve problems; it only makes money for those who cause all the trouble in the first place, and people are no longer interested.  That may be terrifying to the people who make money off politics, but it’s a changing business, and they’ll have to adapt. 

The Biden people ripped off the scab when they tried to put him in office with a campaign in his basement during Covid.  Trump and Biden had a debate that year, 2020, but they fell short of completing the traditional three that had preceded their terms.  Biden is a primarily handled media caricature kept in power by stolen elections, just as most communist countries stay in control.  Only in America people know better because we do have a free media culture.  And if traditional media doesn’t serve the people, then they will find alternatives, and they have.  And Trump’s campaign in 2024 will completely embrace that new media.  The old media isn’t doing anything useful anyway, so Trump doesn’t need them.  Biden has shown that he doesn’t need them either.  So, there won’t be any presidential debates in 2024.  Fox News hosting these debates is over; nobody cares.  And there will be no return to that type of shell game, rightfully, because money has essentially been taken out of politics.  Money can’t buy support the way it has been sold in the past.  People form opinions about political candidates much differently now, and consultants are finding themselves out of a job they never should have had in the first place.  The future of Trump is to move much faster than the Beltway consultants ever could, and the news will occur at a speed only fast-moving social media can cover.  Newsrooms with editors picking the top three stories of the day are a thing of the past.  The need to know, and quickly, is the wave of tomorrow, and people will form their opinions on their own, not to be shaped by the glitz of media machines and slick ad campaigns.  No, for a change, candidates will be judged by what they do, not what they say, and the future of politics is all about achievement, not manipulation, which is a needed change that we’ve needed for a long time.

Yes, My Wife and I Have Been Married for more than 35 Years: Danger is the key to happiness

On a lighter note, it has come up almost every day since the Nancy Nix fundraiser on Friday, August 4th.  Yes, it’s true; my wife and I have been married for 35 years.  It was at that event because I was sitting right next to the stage where some excellent comedians were performing next to my wife where I was the set-up for a joke that personal details about my life would be discussed in public.  I knew as I sat in a room full of people that I would be the subject of their comedy acts, but that was part of the fun.  After all, I am shy and like to keep a low profile, which helps me come out of my shell a bit.  So the comedian asked me how long my wife and I had been married, assuming we were much younger than we were.  He was working on a joke that poked fun at our conservative nature.  My wife is attractive, and it’s always an assumption that people make when they meet us in person that there must be some interesting story and that premarital sex would likely be involved.  That’s where the comedian was going with the line of questioning.  He asked how long we had been married.  I told him 35 years.  There was a bit of a gasp from the audience and in his face because it blew his set-up.  People don’t think we are that old, but we are.  And the following line of questioning was that we have kids in their 30s, which is also unusual.  Because his joke required us to have children older than our marriage, and in our case, that just wasn’t possible.  So to recover from this mild disappointment, he asked me if we ever argue, assuming that I would say the typical thing for a long-standing marriage, that we get along great and love each other emphatically.  My response was that we argue daily, which drew a laugh because everyone assumes conflict is destructive for a marriage.  But it’s the only way I can have a relationship with anybody, especially a wife. 

Since that nice fundraiser, I have been asked about the length of our marriage and whether it was true that my wife and I argue daily or if it was all just a joke from many of the people there.  No, it’s true; we have been married for 35 years and argue daily.  People wrongly assume that getting along is how you have a good marriage, and spicy conversation is the key, at least for me.  I like to fight; I will fight about anything, anywhere, about anything.  Peace is boring to me.  I would be mind numb if there was no conflict, so for me, conflict is a heavenly device, and the more conflict there is in my life, the happier I am.  However, arguing with someone doesn’t mean that you don’t love them.  It means you care for them; otherwise, you wouldn’t try to convince them of your opinion.  If you didn’t love or care for them, you likely wouldn’t want to convince them over to your position.  In the case of a marriage, through an argument.  And I can say honestly that my wife and I have argued over something passionately nearly every day of those 35 years and likely will for another 30 years.  The reason is that I am a very volatile personality.  And she is a very cautious person.  She gets what she doesn’t naturally have in me: a constant presence of danger and instability.  In her, I get someone to argue with.  It’s a recipe for a great relationship. 

I could tell stories from now until the end of time on a few examples, but a few that come to mind for context is one recently where we were in the mountains of Idaho driving down into Utah from a very high elevation with our RV in tow.  The wind was gusting so severely that there were cautions about going in it.  So we had our RV blowing behind us like a giant sail that felt like it would drag us right off the mountain.  We had much of our family in the car, four adults and a few children, and a dog, and there were very few guard rails.  A wrong move, and we could have easily been swept over a thousand-foot drop to the river below.  My wife was white-knuckling any handhold she could grab and was terrified with each wind gust.  She wanted me to stop immediately and wait out the wind, which would not happen soon.  We were in the middle of nowhere, and going backward was just as dangerous as going forward.  So I did what I did in most of those situations: I went faster and more aggressively and enjoyed the whole thing immensely.  We had another such incident just a year before, where we were outrunning an incoming snowstorm coming out of Colorado into New Mexico.  And the roads were covered with snow and ice drifting across the desert.  It was the same situation; we were hauling our RV at a high rate of speed, trying to outrun the storm after driving 13 straight hours to Roswell, New Mexico.  She wanted me to stop because we were sliding all over the road, and I had to go fast to outrun the cumulous cloud above us that was gaining steam from the setting sun.  It was night, and the lack of a sun fueled the storm into a monstrosity of more cold air, and it was moving across the desert at over 80 miles per hour.  She was furious with me, and I had a giant smile.  Those are what keep marriages together for 35 years. 

I would be bored out of my mind without experiences like that, and truthfully, she loves having those experiences with me.  I can only tell you how happy she was when we arrived in Roswell, New Mexico alive, or Vernal, Utah, with all our family safe after that scary trip on the mountain tops at over 6000 feet.  Surviving those kinds of things make the microwave popcorn taste a lot better when you get to camp and enjoy the luxuries of home in some distant place, in a favorite foldout chair.  And that’s also why we sat right next to the stage at that comedy event.  Being safe is not fun for me.  And if not for me, my wife would not push herself to expand her boundaries of comfort.  She is rarely comfortable with how I do things, but if she didn’t grab on like she does, cursing at me and all, there are a lot of crazy stories she wouldn’t have in life that have made our life together very interesting.  I could tell of one from Paris recently that is very funny, and it involved a bicycle and a few more of my kids as we were trying to catch a train.  We still joke about it at Thanksgiving dinner, which makes for an exciting life.  And while people make assumptions about safety being the root cause of happiness, I can report the opposite as accurate.  Danger is the best thing for a long marriage; to maintain a long one, comfort zones must be pushed to have a healthy relationship.  And zest is undoubtedly the key ingredient to frequent arguments.  Docile compliance would be disastrous.  Arguing is very beneficial in almost all circumstances in all parts of a life, marriages especially.

The Greatest Crime in the World: Of course, the Fed knew what they were doing, they just never thought they’d get caught

Here is the biggest crime in the world that nobody is talking about.  I’m not typically an audit the Fed kind of person, but Senator Rand Paul has been, along with his dad.  But unfortunately, he hasn’t been enough, and more senators should have always been heavily involved in this topic, and now we see the real danger in 2023 of bad Federal Reserve policy for several decades, especially since the 2008 economic collapse of the housing market.  Rand Paul is also really the only senator who has been asking the right kind of questions about the other biggest crime of the human race, Dr. Fauci’s role in the Covid lockdowns and subsequent deaths.  If not for Paul’s line of questions, we wouldn’t have what we do know, which is not nearly enough considering the level of the crimes committed against humanity.   Believe it or not, this Fed problem is much worse, and we are no longer talking about just auditing the Fed.  We need to have serious discussions about abolishing it, and coming up with a new fiscal management policy, because this government partnership with private industry, in this case the banking industry, has not worked.  It’s too much power in the hands of people who cannot manage that power, and it has gotten away from them in terribly destructive ways.  As the Federal Reserve was created in 1913, there were many good reasons to be suspicious.  We gave it a chance, and what happened proved those suspicions to be correct, and it’s time to admit that.  No matter what side you are on with politics, everyone should agree on fiscal policy and protecting money’s value as a core competency of American domestic management.  Instead, what we ended up with is much radical leftist activism from Jerome Powell, Janet Yellen, and Ben Bernanke since that 2008 economic crash and a disastrous relationship with Larry Fink from BlackRock that put all the wrong people in charge of our money, and now we have significant problems that a lot more people than Rand Paul need to get their arms around quickly.   

We’re not talking about ancient history here; it was only in 2020 that the Fed worked directly with Wall Street firms to buy bonds to offset the effects of the Covid lockdowns.  That is certainly the case with BlackRock, the largest money manager in the world, and their direct relationship to the Fed that has given them the ability to purchase the majority shareholder position in most of America’s corporations to impose woke standards on them with an artificial value created by the Fed.  Doesn’t anybody remember that old Flintstones episode where Fred was printing counterfeit money so that he could buy his wife something nice?  No, well, maybe everyone should take a minute and go back and watch that episode.  It’s a simple cartoon for kids, and they understood it back then.  That so many supposedly intelligent people didn’t know what the Fed was doing with quantitative easing to support a radical leftist concept of Modern Monetary Theory was wrong to explain clearly where many of these problems started.  That wasn’t the first time BlackRock benefited from that relationship with the Fed.  In 2008, Larry Fink was a nobody, and the government was looking for a sucker like him to funnel money to take the edge off the housing crisis.  BlackRock wasn’t managing trillions of dollars at that time as they do now.  But once the Fed started printing phony money to saturate the market with easy money funneled through Wall Street, BlackRock grew into the top investment firm within a decade.  But the whole house of cards was built off made-up counterfeit money, just like the Flintstones episode where Barny Rubble was printing fake money and was showing it to Fred.  If a private person prints phony money, it’s a crime.  But if the Federal Reserve does it, it’s not?  That’s the problem. 

Because of all the phony Fed money, BlackRock acquired trillions of dollars of investment dollars that they then used to buy up majority shares of stock and gain control of most American companies.  And because of that majority share ownership, they have been able to impose ESG standards straight from the World Economic Forum directly on those companies and their employees and customers.  Without the Fed tampering with the market by injecting fake money, BlackRock would never have gained the power it now has over so many companies.  And politically, none of these people, not the Federal Reserve representatives, and certainly not Larry Fink, are conservatives.  They are all radical leftists who are entirely too supportive of the centralized controls of the World Economic Forum.  BlackRock has taken in most of our money for 401K plans and made us part of this radical leftist activism whether we wanted to or not because they had control of so much money from the Fed to invest.  Without the Fed, BlackRock would have had to save their money like everyone else, and they would have been limited to their fiduciary responsibilities like all other companies used to.  Only now, after the cash injection by the Fed, did BlackRock, State Street, Vanguard, Blackstone, and many others gain leverage over the market with trillions of dollars of inflated asset acquisition that has essentially destroyed the market in America and placed control of it into the World Economic Forum and its radical leftist, Marxist policies. 

This is how these radical political activists have gained control over the fossil fuel industry and intend to drive them away from market value as it was traditionally utilized but steered them into political activism.  This is how Disney has been essentially destroyed by BlackRock being one of their majority shareholders.  This is the conversion of shareholder capitalism to “stakeholder” capitalism, as Larry Fink defines it.  The public used to be able to buy stock, and if a company could convince them to invest, they’d have a share and say in how that company was run.  These radical leftists are now calling the shots because the Fed injected so much money that it allowed BlackRock to take that opportunity away from ordinary investors.  Why does anybody think that Bud Light did what they did with the trans movement?  And why do most companies, even Chick-fil-A, find themselves in the same situation, despite what the public thinks about it?  Because all these money management firms were given fake money to invest, and now they are the majority shareholders, made that way by Fed radicalism that was entirely politically motivated to give possession of American industry over to the clutches of Marxism at the World Economic Forum.  When you make yourselves the Lords of Easy Money, many subjects will do whatever you say, and that is the crime that the Fed utilized to gain control over the entire American economy with fake money funneled through firms like BlackRock to perform the greatest robbery in the history of the world, right in front of everyone’s faces.  And it’s not something anybody can turn their backs on.  Now that the Fed has been caught, they are digging in their heels, hoping that a political takeover of the world toward leftist domination will save them from justice.  But that is, of course, up to us now that we know what we do.

The Scam of Cyber Security: What’s the rush for all this technology–who benefits from it–not us

Each week I have a lot of people trying to waste my time regarding cyber security, and I’ll say here what I say to all of them.  I don’t trust computers, I think it’s ridiculous to put so much private information online, and I can live quite well without it.  Cyber security is a scam, like many things from institutions today.  The same people who will likely hack your computer and steal your information are the same people who are telling you that cyber security is the only way you can survive in the future.  This is the case with Microsoft from the 90s.  People realized that Windows-based systems were particularly vulnerable to viruses.  Then, of course, to operate Windows, you would have to subscribe to some anti-virus software to use the dumb program.  It’s still that way primarily, and it all comes down to a scam.  Ironically, this is precisely how Bill Gates has inserted himself into the world as the Health Minister, he helps unleash viruses so that you have to buy the vaccine he is behind to control all of society.  If a company is talking about cyber security, they are telling you that their software isn’t ready for prime time and that the only people who benefit from it are the bad guys in the world.  The most secure thing to do would be not to use their software if they find that they, as a company, can’t provide that level of security for their customers.  My policy is to keep as little online so that some propped-up villain can’t hack it.  If these systems aren’t more secure than they claim, why use them?  The only people benefiting from all these cybersecurity methods are those making the software. 

All the two-way authentication methods need to be faster.  If you have to slow down your life as much as these modern companies suggest, then all the tech gadgets are worthless.  It’s regressing our culture, not making it better.  With all this concern over A.I. hackers and hackers having easy access to our online activity, why are we making ourselves so vulnerable?  The only people benefiting are the one-world government types who want to funnel all information into a centralized source so they can control us.  Technology isn’t helping the rest of us improve our lives.  Increasingly, we are finding that we must wait for technology to catch up.  I hear from many IT departments worldwide who essentially think it is permissible to slow down their companies and their opportunities for production because they believe that cyber security is more of a priority.  I had a case recently where I was working late at night on multiple projects, at around 1 to 2 in the morning, and suddenly my computer went into a mandatory update.  I didn’t tell it to, it assumed that at the late hours, I would be sleeping, so it went into an update mode that took well over 15 minutes.  The computer figured I had all the time in the world to sit around waiting on it to do its stupid thing.  But I didn’t have the time.  I tossed the computer across the room and turned to the old-fashioned way of doing things, with sheets of paper and raw calculations written upon them.  If technology doesn’t speed my life up and make it better, then it’s an enemy.  It’s that simple. 

Technology is not in charge, as much as the World Economic Forum people want us all to believe.  They are the ones who are creating the marketplace for all the identity theft and other fraudulent activity online.  Because they want technology to take over the world essentially, they are pushing it out upon the world too fast because they want it. It certainly isn’t beneficial for us ordinary people.  It helps them get to their cashless society, digital fraud-based currencies, and centralized control of all means of production.  That’s what they are after with their double authentication codes, where every time you are away from your computer for a few minutes, you must sign back in with passwords that constantly change.  And to work your computer, you have to have a phone tracking you all over the place so that some mindless A.I. program can call you to ensure you are using the computer.  Online banking only helps these power-hungry globalists get control of our lives, making us wait on them to get their products to work right.  But if everything is so insecure, then why are we using it in the first place?  What’s the benefit?  Those are the questions we should be asking.  We should not be waiting on technology to “work.”  I would rather deal with a person directly than some computer interface.  Call it old-fashioned, but I don’t want to mess with all that ridiculous security.  It’s not worth it to me to use some computer that is essentially spying on everything I do so that it can go to the NSA to be analyzed by hostile forces in government.  That isn’t my idea of an intelligent approach to the future. 

If these computer interfaces are so insecure, the companies putting them out need to go back to the drawing board and figure out how to improve them before offering them to the marketplace.  There is no rush for most of us.  The push for computers and online transactions to become such a big part of our lives comes from the goals of the United Nations and their masters at the World Economic Forum.  They want us to be inconvenienced with their products to fulfill their dumb 2030 targets for international commerce, which takes power away from countries where they can manage them and puts it all in the hands of mindless European bureaucrats.  They are the ones who want digital currencies that they can manipulate with Modern Monetary Theory and can turn all of society into a cashless society.  So the burden for security falls on them.  Not the rest of us slowed down to a mind-numbing speed because of all their dumb technology and the cyber security needed to make it usable.  Cyber security, as it has always been, is a scam to make technology appear better than it is.  Forcing it into the marketplace has only created a new breed of criminal in the world, the hackers who otherwise would have a more challenging time stealing people’s money.  Technology makes it easier for them to prey on innocent people, which Bill Gates is pleased about.  But for the rest of us, we should be asking why we are rushing to get all this technology into the marketplace only to be restricted by its limits.  All the companies buying into this cyber security scam will find themselves less profitable and greatly limited by the slowness of technology rather than any real benefits.  If something is as insecure as computer technology over the internet, we shouldn’t use it for anything other than information.  But personal banking and business networks should be done the old-fashioned way until technology can get it together as it is now. It’s just a scam that only benefits the bad guys in the world.  And why would we want to do that?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The 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.

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

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

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

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

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

It’s More Like the Great Mistake, Rather than the Great Reset: My Review of Glenn Beck’s new book ‘Dark Future’

Of course, Glenn Beck’s new book Dark Future is great. Most of Beck’s books have been over the years as they speak to people about scary things that are going on in politics, and he has been kind of a Paul Revere consistently over a long period of time, and the previous book in this series, The Great Reset, did an excellent job of alarming people to the dangers of ESG. Before that book came out, few people understood what ESG was, Modern Monetary Theory, or even who Klaus Schwab was from the world economic forum. Dark Future continues the dive into the efforts of the World Economic Forum and swims deeper into The Great Narrative, which explores the liberal radicalism behind advisors to the World Economic Forum, such as Yuval Harari. The book came out on Tuesday, July 11th, and I grabbed a copy and read it over the next two nights. It was a fast and easy read; it’s a bigger book than The Great Reset, as there is even more to say a few years into the greatest attack against mankind that has ever been attempted by a malicious group, which was The Great Reset launched behind Covid, which should be viewed as a military attack against our country more than anything else. But there was a central theme that kept coming up to me as I was reading that is paralyzing a lot of other people when it comes to discussing the weakness of the World Economic Forum’s position. And as a result, it felt like Beck’s new book was about six months too old because much more has been revealed that’s happening in the world since before he first started writing.

The Great Mistake is more like it, the problem behind everything they have been doing with The Great Reset.  They believe in technology too much and hope it will do more than possible.  Technology is the new god of Yuval Harari, Klaus Schwab, and the attackers from the World Economic Forum like Bill Gates.  Yes, the scary stuff talked about in Dark Future are all things that they truly want to do.  But their big mistake is that they did not understand the nature of work, just as Karl Marx, their mentor, never had figured it out.  They confused monitoring work, which is what computers largely do, to performing work.   That was the big problem during Covid with all the dumb work-from-home policies.  The members of The Administrative State, who serve the Deep State, assumed that people sitting at computers all day meant that work was happening.  And that they could easily control that work as the central means of controlling production if they could only get everyone onto Microsoft Teams to perform their meetings from their homes.  Pants weren’t required in those meetings, and the effort turned out to be a diabolical disaster, just as most things coming from the World Economic Forum will prove to be over the coming years because as geeks, losers, and social misfits themselves who attempt to hide their social awkwardness from the public through monied assets, their lack of understanding about human nature has been their downfall.  Just as Karl Marx wanted to control the means of production through a centralized authority, that is the fantasy of the World Economic Forum aggressors in using technology they control to take over the means of production.  It is a big Marxist plot that was doomed from the beginning because they didn’t understand the nature of what work was.    

Work is still about making things, where hands onto creation is still the important ingredient.  And this hope by the Desecrators of Davos, as I call them, the people who want to be “elites” in our culture through some long-dead aristocratic order, is that through Modern Monetary Theory, the printing of fake money to represent a fake value which can then buy up everyone’s property, all their efforts, and all their labor was somehow going to fill the void created by the real need of economic value.  Such as the small vendor who labors at a craft that other people want, so they make the goods with their hands and sell them at a market somewhere, and people buy it because they like it.  This kind of social behavior is a mystery to the geeks at the World Economic Forum because they always misplaced the value of work in technology rather than understanding that technology would only ever serve the human imagination for expanded economies to make more things that humans want to consume.  That is the market value and the real key to economic input.  Work is produced to sustain human needs as created by humans for human purposes.  A.I. might help support those needs or expand a 19 trillion-dollar economy made with only 300 million people into a higher value.  But to replace that value with technology and force all people into the background while the new gods of A.I. rule the world is a fantasy missing a few screws. 

I’ve watched all the Davos events over the years and listened carefully to all the interviews they’ve provided over a long time.  And the constant theme from them is one that I have seen professionally at all levels of society.  They have been suckered by the promises of technology that it might cover up the skills in life that they don’t have, the ability to understand human beings and the work that is generated by their existence.  Because they are psychologically awkward in public and lack many of the social traits that might make them appear to the human race as “human,” they have built this false assumption around a philosophy of hatred of the human race and sold it as a fact.  When really, it comes down to that girl who turned them down for a dance in the 8th grade, and now they want to rule the world to punish her and those like her.  Now that they are rich and famous, they can get anybody they want, so their trust in technology is along those lines.  That is certainly the case with people like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg.  These aren’t ordinary people happy and healthy; they are deranged lunatics who have been given a lot of money for the software applications that might make other socially awkward people, like Klaus Schwab, more powerful than they otherwise are if only the world were run by Terminators from the famous film franchise by Jim Cameron.  A lot of this weakness by the World Economic Forum has been exposed over the last several months as more people are waking up to what really happened with Covid and who was behind it.  There is a populist movement of anger and revenge brewing in America over these characters that haven’t yet found their way into Glenn Beck’s books.  I think even a year from now, Dark Future will continue to wake people up to these things.  There is a lot of danger out there, but the characters committing it are much more exposed than I think Glenn Beck thought they would be before publishing this new book.  Things are moving rapidly, and the World Economic Forum’s assumptions about technology have shown just how flimsy their plans have always been.  And the exposure rate is something they will not survive, which is a great thing.  But there is still a long way to go, and books like Dark Future will undoubtedly show people where we are going and why we need to get there.  But this story will not end the way the World Economic Forum thought it would.  It won’t be good for them.
