I Don’t Like England Anymore: Compliant people are dangerous to thoughtful innovation

I’ve decided that I don’t like England anymore. I did like England when Brexit was the rallying cry—a nation reclaiming sovereignty, shaking off the European Union’s bureaucratic grip. Nigel Farage embodied that spirit of independence, and I could respect that. But who they are now, or have really, always been? That’s a different story. Since COVID, my view has shifted dramatically, and not without reason.

The pandemic exposed something deep in the English psyche: a cultural obsession with compliance. During lockdown, police in England enforced rules with a zeal that bordered on authoritarian. They issued over 120,000 Fixed Penalty Notices for breaches of COVID regulations, ranging from meeting a friend outdoors to traveling without a “reasonable excuse.” Officers even had the authority to enter homes and forcibly return individuals to their residences if they were found outside without justification.¹ This wasn’t just about health—it was about control. It revealed a society that values safety over liberty, process over spontaneity, and certainty over courage.

And then came the social media policing. In England today, posting the wrong thing online can land you in handcuffs. Under Section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 and the Malicious Communications Act 1988, police made 12,183 arrests in 2023 alone for “offensive” or “grossly offensive” posts—a staggering 58% increase since 2019.² That’s about 30 arrests every single day for speech crimes. Think about that. In a country that once gave the world John Locke and the principles of liberty, people are now being dragged from their homes for tweets.

Consider the case of Graham Linehan, co-creator of Father Ted. He was arrested at Heathrow Airport after returning from the U.S., his crime being posts critical of transgender ideology.³ Or the IT consultant who posted a photo with a shotgun during a Florida trip—police raided his home, seized his devices, and subjected him to 13 weeks of investigation.⁴ Then there’s Maxie Allen and Rosalind Levine, who faced a six-officer raid over a sarcastic WhatsApp message criticizing a school official.⁵ These aren’t isolated incidents—they’re part of a pattern. The UK now has elite police units dedicated to monitoring online speech for “hate” or “extremism,” often targeting those with anti-migrant views.⁶

This is not freedom. It’s thought control. And the cultural soil that allows this to grow is England’s love of process—its obsession with rules, procedures, and certainty. They plan everything: the route to the gas station, the tea ritual, the itinerary for a simple drive. It’s a society that trades spontaneity for safety, adventure for predictability. That might sound quaint until you realize what it means in practice: a population conditioned to obey.

Even their illusion of free speech is telling. London’s Speaker’s Corner is often romanticized as a bastion of open dialogue, but in reality, it’s a monitored zone—a symbolic gesture that says, “You can speak here, under our watch.” Outside that corner, the state’s grip tightens. Arrests for silent prayer near abortion clinics, for tweets deemed “offensive,” for Facebook posts criticizing politicians—these are not anomalies; they are the norm.⁷ The U.S. State Department has even flagged the UK for “serious restrictions on freedom of expression.”⁸ That should alarm anyone who values liberty.

And while the state clamps down on speech, another force reshapes the cultural landscape: demographic change. The Muslim population in England has grown from 4.9% in 2011 to about 6.5% in 2021—roughly 4 million people—and is projected to reach 13 million by 2050.⁹ This isn’t just a statistic; it’s a transformation. In urban centers, Islamic fundamentalism finds fertile ground in a society already conditioned to compliance. When a culture is beaten into submission by its own government, it becomes vulnerable to ideologies that demand even stricter obedience. That’s not diversity—that’s a recipe for cultural collapse.

Contrast this with America’s founding spirit. The United States exists because people rejected monarchy, hierarchy, and the suffocating weight of tradition. They fled Europe’s kingdoms for the unknown, embracing risk and adventure. That courage—the willingness to live without guarantees—is what built America. England, by contrast, never shed its psychological chains. Even now, with a “token” King Charles, the monarchy persists as a cultural anchor, a reminder that the people are subjects, not sovereigns. That mindset matters. A society that wants to be ruled already has something broken in its DNA.

Brexit was a flicker of rebellion, a moment when England seemed ready to reclaim its independence. Nigel Farage gave voice to that impulse, railing against the EU’s bureaucratic overreach. But where is that spirit now? Drowned in lockdown mandates, speech policing, and a nanny-state mentality that arrests citizens for jokes. Farage’s Reform UK party still fights, but it’s swimming against a cultural tide that prefers process to freedom.¹⁰

I’ve tried to rationalize some affection for England over the years. I admired their bookstores, their literary tradition, and their politeness. My own family ties made it tempting to look the other way. But honesty demands clarity: England today is not a beacon of liberty. It is a cautionary tale—a society that traded freedom for safety, individuality for compliance, and courage for comfort. And the world is watching. When London becomes the attack vector for global liberalism, when its cultural weakness enables ideological invasions, when its police knock on doors for tweets, we should ask: Is this the future we want?

America must never follow that path. Our strength lies in the unknown, in the willingness to risk, in the refusal to bow. England chose differently. And for that reason, I can no longer admire what it has become.  I would say that England has always been this way, and it has only excelled as a culture when it has endeavored to be more like America, as it did with Brexit.  But remember, this is the same culture that literally tortured and killed William Wallace, the Scottish rebel shown so well in the movie Braveheart.  When they killed him, to quell any future rebellions, they gutted him in front of the crowd and burned his intestines while he was still alive.  After they cut off his head after a very torturous death, they cut up his body and sent his arms and legs to the far reaches of the kingdom.  And they put his head on a pike on London Bridge and kept it there for a long time.  To remind people of what would happen to other rebels should they think to take the same path.  And that same behavior is present in their policing of social media posts.  Any culture that is willing to put up with that kind of oppression is not a good culture for the world.  And that is the value system they seem to support most: compliance with authority over freedom of thought.  English culture is built on compliance, and history shows us over an extended period what a disaster that is.  Which is why I no longer like or respect England and its role in the world.

The Child Pornography of 73-Year Old Howard Saal: You can’t trust professionals, anywhere

The study of institutional failure is fundamental to a proper society, and it’s vital that everyone understands the inherent failures, especially in the case of Howard Saal, the 73-year-old former geneticist and dysmorphologist at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.  He was recently indicted and arrested on federal charges for possessing and transporting child sexual abuse material as investigators found 153,000 images and 470 videos on his electronic devices, with some of the victims being as young as newborns.  The Children’s Hospital doctor admitted that he photographed children during exams as “glamour shots.”  Saal surrendered his medical license in July of 2025 and is currently out on bond, facing up to 20 years in prison.  The hospital itself has tried to distance itself from the doctor, but this has rattled people’s trust in the process because they usually think of doctors as being wiser and above such matters.  So understanding how and why people would do something like this is essential, especially when we are dealing with sexual perversion that migrates into children.  We see this kind of thing way too often to ignore, and this isn’t some loser hiding in his mom’s basement.  But was a very mature person of elderly years working in a very responsible position at a well-respected hospital.  People need to trust these kinds of authority figures, and this case is proof that nobody can really be trusted.  The best solution to this kind of situation is always to be a little cautious when dealing with everyone.  And don’t give out trust like candy.  We often trust professionals and experts because we are too lazy to do the work ourselves, and the unsettling element is that there are many Howard Saals out there looking to take advantage of people, especially children. 

I learned more about child pornography and sex abuse than I’ll ever care to know recently as I was a foreman for a grand jury in Butler County, Ohio.  And let me tell you, I thoroughly enjoyed that job.  I enjoyed indicting bad guys and convincing the other jury members to move toward aggressive resolutions.  It was a very satisfying job, and I could have done it every day of my life, finding significant meaning in the experience.  But before that experience, child pornography was something I had heard about, but didn’t think much of it.  It seemed to me like something impossible to do, where grown adults were involved in sexual activity with children because of the apparent size difference.  But for several cases, as a grand jury, we had to watch evidence of child pornography by people prosecutors were trying to indict.  Regarding Butler County, I would like to mention that some truly dedicated prosecutors had their hearts in the right place for the job.  It would be challenging to sift through thousands of these images and still maintain sanity.  I saw just a fraction of what they did to prepare these cases, so as I watched my fellow jury members crying over what they saw, imagine how the prosecutors felt having to look at that stuff all day long, preparing for these indictments.  Most of the people on my jury, about half of them, were moms, and seeing kids sexually abused on video was too much for them, and they broke down quickly at the grim reality of the abuse they had to watch.  There’s not much that rattles me about anything.  Watching those videos was tough.  But seeing how much child pornography is out there, it is even worse.  These were not isolated cases by a few degenerates.  These were common and were getting worse as our society loosened its sexual predilections. 

One way this harsh reality is concealed in our society is that nobody feels they can express an opinion about it unless they are a professional.  That is the first problem, where we surrender logic to authority figures like Howard Saal, and they find they can abuse that power for their own distorted thinking, keeping it concealed from society at large.  However, I have many opinions on various subjects.  And I know enough about everything to be a professional in hundreds of different professions.  And I’m happy to argue with any psychologist on the deterioration of the human mind that descends into child pornography any time anybody wants to.  Chances are, I know more about psychology than people working in the industry.  Sexual perversion is a dangerous path to take.  As teenagers emerging from puberty, it’s pretty simple.  Find a member of the opposite sex that you want to procreate with.  Get married.  Have children.  When nature selects you for termination, take it like an adult and die quietly as the world lives on.  When you step away from that path and make sex a recreational activity that increases in sign stimuli as adults move into their 20s and 30s, things get complicated.  To keep the things that provoke arousal, constantly recreating that initial stimulation, more and more perverse acts have to be accepted by the mind.  And by the time people get into their 50s, 60s, and 70s, natural sex has long left the mind, and a very diabolical thought process has to take place to carry sexual thought into an arousal state that satisfies the urge.  The danger lies in people who don’t develop hobbies as they age, such as model trains or flying airplanes, during their leisure time.  If they are still pursuing sexual satisfaction, they are likely going to engage in behavior that is illegal or diabolical.   

Socially, we recognize the danger of a 50-year-old having sex with a 20-year-old.  Or even an 18-year-old.  Our 18-year-old daughter couldn’t or shouldn’t ever bring home a boyfriend who is 60 years old.  We don’t like to see such things, even if they may be legal, because they are destructive to our minds and can’t bring anything good.  So, to further step outside the boundaries, sex with children of any age is the ultimate power trip for an adult who wants domination over people in a weak intellectual condition.  Human beings often struggle with power over others, and the role of an adult over a helpless child can be particularly perilous.  And we should never assume that because someone is a professional, they have learned to deal with these emotional temptations.  And based on my experience with that grand jury, this appears to be a common occurrence.  It’s not just a random occasion here and there.  The more sexual our society has become, the worse sex with children has emerged as common, and not unique.  It appears that adults often seek to exert power over others, which is why they tend to target the most vulnerable.  So while people are shocked to learn that a respected doctor at Children’s Hospital in Cincinnati has a serious addiction to child pornography, and that they took their own children to him under an understanding of trust, and that trust has now been shattered, this isn’t the only guy doing this.  It’s a common occurrence in our schools, among medical professionals, and in every professional class.  And trusting any of those professional types was a dumb idea.  Leaving us to figure out the future without them having nearly the kind of power they have today.  Trust is something that everyone needs to earn.  We should not give it away so cheaply because we are too lazy to protect the innocent from the diabolical hiding behind professional titles like wolves in sheep’s clothing.  Because the minds of many of these people are not functioning correctly.  And this case with Howard Saal is just a small glimpse into that ominous, dark world of child sexual predators.

The Government is Not in Charge: 2024 is all about rebellion against overbearing parents

I have been quoting from the book Behold a Pale Horse a lot more lately for a lot of reasons.  For one, after reading the recent book, The Wuhan Cover-Up, it is obvious that many of the predictions Bill Cooper talked about are true, much more true than anybody would have wanted to believe in the 90s.  The second thing is that a breakthrough that has never happened before, a central media distribution outlet run by one of the world’s wealthiest people, has reinstated Alex Jones to the world of media, now as a mainstreamer.  This is a massive achievement and one that very few people saw coming.  Alex Jones, similar to Bill Cooper, identified threats to the system of government that we have been dealing with for many years.  Cooper was killed in a gunfight on his front porch.  Alex Jones has been killed socially in as many ways as a person can be.  Yet, he has risen again through Elon Musk’s efforts, which I think is completely out of self-interest.  Yet, it is genuine and should be an answer to everyone wondering what comes next.  The other is that Bill Cooper had a brilliant commentary in his book Beyond a Pale Horse that describes the current time very well: that all people grow up to become adults.  As rebellious teenagers, they think they know it all, but by the time they start paying for their own things, a car payment, a house, or giving birth to children, the pressure of those experiences takes most people back to a desire they had as kids for a parental figure.  So they seek a parental figure in government, and they vote accordingly.  These government types have fallen in love with their role as parents rather than representatives, and we have the world we see today.

I am not the kind of person who has ever looked to the government for a parental role.  I have always been the kind of person that many parents hated.  All my friends and girlfriends’ parents growing up hated me.  I mean, they absolutely hated me.  I didn’t do drugs or cuss; I always worked and had jobs, I read books, I did all the things that you’d think people would relish.  But when parents found out that their kids were hanging around with me, which is true in adulthood, they also freaked out.  “Don’t waste your time around Rich Hoffman, he’s a killer; he gets in fights all the time, and he’s dangerous!”  All those things were true, but the perspective was wrong, and I became so used to it that nothing that authority figures have done surprises me because essentially, it all boils down to that little quirk that people have which Bill Cooper identified in people, their lack of confidence in themselves to stand up to overbearing parents who move into government positions so that they can have control over people because they are power hungry tyrants that didn’t get enough satisfaction in such a role when they were parents.  It was so bad for me that many of these tyrant types would prefer people like Bill Cooper and Alex Jones into the media world as conspiracy figures because they at least showed some form of acceptance of parental role models in their lives. Bill was a Navy guy, and Jones was at least a good son.  So when authority figures assess such people and how to deal with them, at least those guys showed signs of being tempered socially if things spiraled out of control, which they eventually did. 

Glenn Beck, of course, has well-known problems; he was a drug addict for several years and reformed himself into the radio host he is today, which is very popular.  And when I heard him recently wondering if the government would even allow us to have an election in 2024, he was speaking from that same role of a child wondering if their parents would let them spend the night at little Jimmy’s place if only he ate his oatmeal.  And I shook my head because millions of people were concerned that the government would take away President Trump again and that the big nasty people at the World Economic Forum might release a new virus to evoke the Great Reset part II.  So let me tell you the dangerous part out loud, that few people in the world understand for all kinds of psychological reasons and something I’ve been telling people for more than 50 years.  Humanity is growing up.  Elon Musk is growing up, which is reflected in his decisions when running his companies.  President Trump grew up from a compliant child who listened to his father to overtake him, and now he wants to bring that same mentality to the government to free people of the dependent nature of a child complaining about an overbearing parent in government.  Our Constitution was written assuming that we didn’t want to spend our lives as groveling children listening to their dominating, worthless parents.  I used to say to kids when I was growing up, about their parents, “do you want to grow up and be like those losers, afraid of everything, fat, slow-minded, filled with fear?”  Or do you want to be your own person?  For that, I was the most hated person on earth, and I learned to like it. 

The government, no government, is in control of us.  We are free people and will decide what we do or don’t do.  Not some parental government.  And that is what 2024 is all about.  Read it.  Think about it.  And watch what happens.  This is a time of graduating from high school and moving out of our parent’s house to live on our own.  To take responsibility for our own lives.  And to be all that we want to be without nosy parents sticking their fearful attributes into our freedom-loving minds.  We are not victims of their stupidity; we are in charge and have a right to be.  I am essentially doing today what I have done all my life: encourage people not to become their stupid parents.  But to be free and live their own lives in their own way.  Don’t listen to your timid governments.  Rebel, live free, and become the subject of your dreams instead of just another fearful adult who got a taste of life and responsibility and cleaved to move back in with your parents for security.  Most of the world has moved back in with their parents, and as they move into their thirties and forties, they try to, but their parents are old and no longer able to give them that childhood security.  So, they turn to the government as the new parental figure.  But guess what, those idiots aren’t in charge, they don’t have any real power.  And they won’t be able to stop what’s coming.  Do you know why?  Because their power only comes from the timid children.  Once the children figure out how much power they have all along, then rebellion is inevitable.  And that is precisely what the political situation will be going into in 2024.  And there is nothing the parents in government can do to stop it.  Only timid children wonder if mom and dad’s government will get mad at them if they don’t arrive home by curfew and eat all their soup.

A German Nurse Walks Free After Refusing Covid Vaccinations: Using The Doctrine of Lesser Magistrates to regulate out of control governments

A Red Cross nurse who injected 8,600 elderly patients with saline solution instead of the experimental COVID jab has walked free from court with only six months probation. 39-year-old Antje T. had administered the saltwater solution “vaccines” at the Schortens jab center in Friesland, Germany, telling patients they were the Pfizer jab. She was found guilty of six counts of intentional assault by Oldenburg District Court, Lower Saxony state, on November 30. Police told the court that she was able to introduce the saline solution undetected because she was in charge of vaccine and syringe preparation during her shift at the vaccination center. Many people were upset that she didn’t go to jail and suffer more punishment than losing her nursing license, but in truth, the Germans couldn’t prosecute her for something that wasn’t a law; the government didn’t have a right to force an alliance with Pfizer to force medicine on people under the standards that were created with Covid because the imposition of public safety as a means to undermine personal rights had not been worked out in their legal system. Therefore, there wasn’t any real merit for the case to begin with. And in America, there is even less of a premise for such a case. This is a good story for a number of reasons, but it ultimately shows the power of the excellent book The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates and how it can bring governments to their knees when they grab for power and abuse their authority such as was the clear case under Covid. Local officials were obliged to push back against the tyrannies of the state. Joe Biden never had the authority to mandate vaccines of any kind, which is just how those court cases turned out. And the best way to undermine such corruption is by following the basic ideas established in that great book.

I knew of many nurses and pharmacists during Covid who behaved much the way that German nurse did, and there is even less of a prosecutorial standard in America for them to be punished for their actions. I see what they were doing as patriotic, we had a power grab by the government from the Biden administration trying to flex some first-term muscle, and people ignored it, which they should have. There was no authority by the government to do so; I told everyone that at the time. It was a bluff by the government that had no enforceability or justification, and the Biden executive order needed to be ignored. For example, a president can set some parameters for vaccine passports, such as international travel. Corporations can have policies for flying on their equipment as well. It’s their planes, their rules. But saying that people wouldn’t be allowed to work if they didn’t take some government-mandated medicine was insane at best. And I was encouraged during Covid by how many rebels emerged using The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates to destroy the tyrannical grip governments had over industry. I knew quite a few people who were issuing vaccine cards to people who needed them for employment mandates, and I thought it was fine. I knew that none of this executive order action would hold up in court, so it was good to see people putting a check on that power from the outset, which occurred from September of 2021 to around January of 2022 when the court cases started falling apart under scrutiny. I was happy to be right about all of it, but it was pretty scary for people to realize that government had way overstepped its authority and that people might lose their jobs as a result. It took guts for people to take a stand and use their positions to help people get vaccine cards, even if those people didn’t want to get the vaccine.   Under those conditions, where the government is not acting in accordance with the Law of the land, the American Constitution, people have an obligation to ignore the mandates of an out-of-control government. 

The situation was so bad that I knew a few legislators, one in particular, who was immune from the mandates because they were law makers themselves, but they had a scheduled trip to the Virgin Islands and had to have a vax card to make the trip. But they were very much against the government-mandated vaccination. So I helped everyone talk to each other so they could get what they needed, but I still applied the concept of The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates. Rules created by an abusive government should be ignored and even defeated at the local level. Otherwise, the government will never stop imposing itself on the innocent. The method of using a crisis to impose under unconstitutional emergency laws had been debated for years; one of the worst scenarios was the Hurricane Katrina crisis in New Orleans years ago. Martial Law was imposed there, which had disastrous effects on the population. Thinking back on it, people would have been better off ignoring the authorities and functioning from a constitutional law foundation. Just because something is an emergency doesn’t mean you have to rearrange your entire legal system.

And even in Germany, which hardly has anything close to an American Bill of Rights, the courts couldn’t prosecute the young nurse and her convictions against the vaccination shots. Legally they had much more power there than in the United States. It wasn’t an apples-to-apples kind of analysis. But what the authorities couldn’t afford to have happen was that by prosecuting this nurse, they upset the population and gave birth to a thousand more. When the government sees that people are so willing to break their dumb rules, they are less motivated to issue them in the future, knowing that in the long run, they’ll simply overplay their hand, and people will stop listening to them. And for powerful governments, that is their greatest fear. A population that has no reverence for them and calls their bluff on exerting authority. If people fear compliance more than government power, governments are exposed as worthless in their endeavors if they simply lose the public, which is always a risk. I am personally very happy that so many people refused in the United States to take the vaccine. The government needed to make a better case for its position than it did, which was even worse than many feared. And at no point in the future can government believe that it has that kind of power over people. The World Economic Forum people also, who fancy themselves as having control over governments through their campaign contributions, have to learn the hard lesson as well, that they cannot control the Law through emergency bioweapons.   Seeing people refuse to play the game, by whatever means they had to, was a good warning to those tyrannical forces. The centralized government will not have the power they fantasize about over mass populations because The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates promises that people will rebel against abusive laws, even if power at the top is captured through election fraud or some other maniacal method. Obviously, the only laws that are good and can work are those regulated by voters through a representative government. And through that method, the Lesser Magistrates always keep the Upper Magistrates from gaining too much power and making themselves the tyrannies of our day. And in that regard, the best thing to keep society honest is the willingness to say no when given an unjust order and to force the government to think seriously about their demands before they say a word.

The Media Doesn’t Like that Rednecks are Hanging Out With Trump: The ultimate failure of the Liberal World Order

It is very interesting to see how the Liberal World Order has been reacting to the fact that President Trump still has a lot of support, perhaps more than he did in 2020 and 2016. Many media outlets are stating under their breath that a lot of rednecks are hanging out with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago home and that somehow that was meant to be derogatory. Very interesting. Now I don’t like to call anybody an “elite.” It was a term invented to conger up sentiments of aristocracy and social order that clearly outlined the elements of hierarchy that the Liberal World Order desires with every essence of their being. And when you deal with liberals, in most all cases, that is undoubtedly their perspective. Then those who do not travel a lot and rely on the media content that comes out of the New York, Washington D.C., or Los Angeles outlets would have the illusion that the Liberal World Order was always in charge and would remain that way. But for those who travel a lot, especially in the middle of the country, the kind of people they meet are Trump supporters, the type of people who travel many miles to hear the President speak the same speech repeatedly. Trump gave two speeches over the middle of October in 2022, one in Nevada and one in Arizona, and both were filled with people who had driven many miles to get there and stood in line for hours and, in some cases, days to attend the venue. Additionally, there were people watching from home and choosing to do so over all the other entertainment options they had. 

In my own way, the things I do are purposely intended to stick a blunt object in the eye of the Liberal World Order, which always starts with my choice to wear cowboy hats in public. Years ago, when I first came out against Lakota issues, I received a barrage of hate mails from snot-nosed spoiled brat 30-somethings who thought the world revolved around them and their desire for free babysitting in the public schools because I appeared on the front page of the Cincinnati Enquirer complete with my hat and bullwhip. The things they said only solidified my intent, and it was ironic. They would declare that they were embarrassed to have moved to Liberty Township; they didn’t know there were “rednecks” like me around when they bought their house. And I would respond, of course, that I had lived in Liberty Township before many of them were a twinkle in the eye of a dog. And they intruded on me, not the other way around. But what they said was essentially the same thing we see nationally with Trump. They thought they had him destroyed. The Liberal World Order thought it was in charge and had everything under control. Then they realized, apparently just a few weeks ago, that they were never in charge and that their Liberal World Order was only an illusion to themselves. Nobody was following them over the cliff they were leading us all to, and there was quite a hatred for them that they ignored and hoped would go away when people realized that they didn’t have any other options. When I wear my hat in public, as I have since I was a little kid in the first grade, it’s to tell those types of people that I’m not like them. That I reject their premise of liberalism and am happy with traditional American values. And I have a lot of experience with liberal people losing their lunch over such a visual reference, and I thrive off it. Their opinions have never made me want to change my approach. It has only solidified that resolve. 

You could hear the pride in their voices at the January 6th committee that declared they would go to subpoena Trump to their sham trial because they had the power to do so, or so they thought. Trump could just claim executive privilege, which he would be suitable to utilize. I would do it; differently. I would show up and make fools of them in front of their disastrous circus to show the contrast and beat them at their own game. And Trump could do that to get a chance to talk about the mass election fraud and examples on a big stage and beat them with their own tools of corruption. But Trump is a former president, and presidents don’t answer to the mob, especially when it was that same mob that stole an election, killed people with Covid by inventing the mess, working with China to release it, then denying medicine to people so that the virus could spread all so they could steal an election and destroy the economy of America. So Trump isn’t going to speak at the January 6th garbage. We’ll have an election that forces all those people out of office, and they will lose power that they never really had because they will be forced to deal with the reality that people do not like them. The Liberal World Order has failed to breed more like them in our public schools and colleges, as they had planned to. And after a century of work, people still want someone like Trump rather than some “elite” snot-nosed loser who thinks of America as an aristocratic nation, which it never was. America was meant to function without the Liberal World Order in charge of people’s lives, which is evident after all the effort put forth that clearly, those are still the priorities of the vast majority in American politics. 

Shortly after the last election, I was so angry at Joe Biden and the Liberal World Order that I left in my RV and headed out into the deserts of New Mexico, Utah, Idaho, and many places in between. I found myself at the World’s Largest Truckstop in Iowa, and I stood in the middle of that giant store and just took a deep breath. That was America. I saw people there who are the same people who flock to the Trump rallies. Who are the rednecks the media is complaining about hanging out at Trump’s home? The people that the Liberal World Order hates, yet there they were gathered all in one place, and they were flag-waving patriots who, in most cases, just wanted to be left alone by their government and to eat a hot dog on a bright and sunny day with the American flag flying overhead. A few days later, I found myself at Wall Drug in South Dakota, and that pro-American sentiment was even stronger. That was  America, and the Liberal World Order couldn’t touch it. They certainly didn’t understand it. And that is why they are losing, and are losing power during the upcoming elections. They grew up thinking that the world was theirs, and only now do they realize that they weren’t more intelligent than the rednecks and flag-waving patriots who shop at Walmart, wear cowboy hats and want to pull their homes with them on vacation when they only get 8 miles per gallon while doing it. They’ll pay the price so they can have their own stove, refrigerator, and a bed that they don’t have to share with the losers from the Liberal World Order, the spoiled brats and malcontents of aristocracy that died in Europe several centuries earlier. Only liberals didn’t get the memo and thought they could hide the information from the world with stolen elections. But obviously, they couldn’t.

Only Idiots Follow Orders: There is no excuse for the abuse of authority by the FBI and other policing agencies

Some of the worst crimes in all of human history have come from people just following orders. Defying orders is often the right thing to do because a corrupt person can’t impose behavioral applications on a good person. Instead, a weak person accepts the decisions of a bad person to commit vast crimes, which has been the history of much of the human race. To justify non-thinking behavior, people say, “but I was just following orders.”  We have been taught all our lives to follow directions. We first learn it from our parents. Then we learn it in our schools. We are told what to do in our religions, politics, and social circles. So, of course, when a weak person is told to do some terrible thing under orders, our default mode is to obey. For so many people, their desire to obey authority is their first and primary concern, to be a nice, compliant human being. Because we have been told all our lives that doing what we are told is good. Not following orders is bad. We never question the validity of the person giving the orders, only that they were followed to the letter. And under such a guise, so much crime has been committed against so many people over the entire span of the human race. And vast evil has been spread to every corner of the earth. 

That is why there is so much anger at the FBI for President Trump’s Florida home break-in. If they were filled with good people, the FBI would have defied the orders and not conducted the break-in. It was not honorable for them to follow the orders of the Biden White House and his Department of Justice for the political witch-hunt that it was. That the 30 FBI officers who did conduct the raid considered their orders more important than actually following the law says everything. It does not give them a free pass for their behavior. For the idiot that follows corrupt orders, they then become just as corrupt. If bad people take over your government, who is to stop them from controlling all the levers of power if compliance with orders is more important than following the law? Defiance is mandated when corruption speaks, and the authority figures who demand injustice for the morality of following orders are evil and must be defeated with rebellion. Yes, people have a right to be upset with the FBI in the wake of the Trump raid and the abuse of Peter Navarro, Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Steve Bannon, and many others who the FBI and other police agencies have unjustly attacked by a government that has drifted into corruption. It is not the good cop who follows the orders of bad politicians who deserves understanding. In defiance of corrupt orders, the human race should be defined. Not by the quality of compliance but by the standard of efficacy that the individual upholds. 

The purpose of being an intelligent human being is to use the freedom of intellect to make proper decisions. Leaders bring people into following them out of showing the path to self-preservation, not sacrifice to a Liberal World Order. That is what the nature of orders requires: a thoughtless commitment to organizational structure. Once evil penetrates that structure, a commitment to evil is unleashed for all to suffer. And from there, evil rules the day to the misery of everyone. And it only takes one bad person in the chain of command to perpetrate such evils. And just because law enforcement wears the blue uniform and carries the star of law and order on their breast pocket, it doesn’t mean they stand for truth and justice. It means they follow orders and expect their entire existence to base their moral quandaries on compliance with higher authorities regardless of whether or not those higher authorities work for good or evil. Definitions of evil are not relevant to such systems of authority, only compliance to the highest established authority that is present to give the orders. So in that regard, the FBI and CIA, and other three lettered agencies that conduct government business and commit major infractions on innocent people every day, are just as bad as those at the top who have been captured by the evils of politics in the Biden administration, or Merrick Garland who is still upset that he’s not a lifelong Supreme Court judge appointed under Obama instead of the Trump pick who knocked him out of contention.   That is really the root of all politics that some people like Biden and Garland will do anything to capture high office positions because they believe that if they acquire them that they will then be able to tell vast bureaucracies what to do because they know they will follow orders, regardless of if the orders are good or evil. When the FBI raided Trump’s home and went through the personal belongings of Melania Trump, the agents knew it was evil, yet they did it anyway. Then after, when they wanted the country to forgive them, they said, “but we were only following orders.” 

Following orders blindly and without question is not moral or good. Only the person who pushes back against immoral orders can be considered to be a good person. We are thoughtful people for a reason, not mindless dogs or horses that can be ridden anywhere by anybody at the whim of a fool. We were designed to rebel; it’s the basic nature of a human being. That doesn’t mean that people won’t follow a leader. But what it means is that the best leaders know how to get people to follow them out of the self-interest of the participants rather than the mindless obedience of a cog in the wheels of life. It is not good to allow law enforcement under orders of a corrupt government to allow them to accost you and your belongings and embarrass you to the public, which is clearly what the FBI was doing to Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon, and the attack on Trump was to show dominance and authority over the former President. So how can you tell if the government giving orders is good? Well, if people find they can find advantages through mutual morality for self-preservation and the best interests of those involved are the most obvious. When people know that a leader knows what they are talking about, they will be willing to get advice on the best strategy. But blind compliance to an evil intention does not give soldiers and law enforcement a free pass to the golden gates of morality without question. It doesn’t even take them to the door. There is no path for the ruthless dictator and their followers to gain morality through blind compliance, which is what is expected. And why the FBI finds themselves in a public relations nightmare on a basic concept that they perhaps never contemplated, that people would hold them accountable for their actual actions, not just in their ability to follow orders, which they all thought was all that mattered. In the world of truly free people, orders and compliance are just chains to stupidity, the same stupidity that has followed every act of evil since the beginning of time.
