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

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

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

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

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

Why Trump’s Tariffs are Great: China was built completely off stolen money, and that is coming to an end

It is stunning how stupid so many people are, especially regarding Trump’s tariffs.  People need economic lessons.  I majored in economics in college, which I hated.  I thought it was boring, that the professors were stupid, and that the students were even worse.  I probably read too many books before I ever stepped into a college classroom for my good because I couldn’t get into the going through the motions thing to endure so much stupidity.  But I knew, even thirty years ago, that they were teaching Marxism in all the economic schools, which was surprising, given that Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations should have been the entry textbook.  Nobody in America should be studying economics without understanding Adam Smith and putting their arms entirely around capitalism.  We aren’t a communist, socialist, or Marxist nation with a parasitic economic system, and all those traders on Wall Street have fallen into the schools of Marxism as their reference point, and that’s on them.  I’ve known about the influence Marxism has had in our political and economic fields for a long time, but this stupidity even shocks me.  People should know better what Trump is doing.  And thank goodness he is doing it.  Our trade imbalances were put in place for one reason: to redistribute America’s wealth to other nations, to loot the only real capitalist country in the world and feed it to all the crazy lunatic communist and socialist countries of the far east and Europe.  Yes, China, to those who don’t know, which appears to be most people working in the finance industry, is a communist country that has made all of its money off stealing it from the United States.  China did not create wealth and become the powerhouse it is today because it did something better in the world than everyone else.  They did it because they were built off stolen money, and Trump’s trade tariffs are designed to take that money back, as it should have been all along.

Go ahead and mark it on your calendars, these renegotiated trade deals from Trump will immediately infuse the American economy with trillions of dollars of new revenue, which has been part of our exporting portfolio.  The price of oil is coming down.  We will soon be shipping energy all over the world again, which will be worth trillions more.  And on the frontier of DOGE, we are going to address many of the assumptions about the size and cost of government that will pave the way for the future, where running our economy in the black will become the norm.  This is how you get there, and everyone should understand that.  They should have known this all along.  This should be taught in our colleges.  It’s basic economics from the perspective of Adam Smith’s capitalism.  I have several copies of Smith’s Wealth of Nations that I have read through so many times that the pages are nearly falling out of all the copies.  I have one in my office that I recently purchased because it comes up so often that people want to see it, and those older copies weren’t in a condition to be looked through without falling apart in their hands.  So, why isn’t that the case with everyone? Because it should be, otherwise we can’t even have a foundation discussion on economics unless that essential reference point is understood.  All these traders who focused on stock value should have seen the signs; it’s not like we didn’t tell you what was happening.  What they have been dealing with was fake value.  What they will be dealing with is actual value, reset by these tariffs, which puts the power position back into the United States, where it should always have been.

I want to mention a couple of things as a reminder of how we arrived at this point.  They are conspiratorial, but certainly not untrue.  Not convenient for people who would rather not know.  But Covid was a bioweapon created and released in China, which was accelerated to the world stage to knock Trump out of office during an election year.  COVID-19 was released shortly after Trump implemented the tariffs against China in the first months of 2020.  The free money was coming to an end for them, and they conspired with a lot of forces, especially at the World Economic Forum, to release a pandemic in the world to allow for the desired Great Reset of the global economy into a fully micromanaged Marxist perspective where China would rule the world from that position.  If you don’t understand that, go back and review all the evidence, and you will see that it was clearly what happened.  The other thing that happened was the conspiracy of the Federal Reserve to prop up radical leftist losers like Larry Fink at BlackRock to essentially use him to artificially prop up the stock market with a balloon that was always going to burst.  But they thought that by the time it did, the dollar would be gone and we’d be on a digital currency, and they’d never get caught for what they’d done.  The Fed and Wall Street conspired to print phony money with no gold backing, using it to inflate the market with cash that would be laundered through the stock exchanges, thereby creating entirely fictitious value. 

That’s what we do in real estate all the time, where we built a house for $ 50,000 30 years ago.  The house is the best house it was ever going to be when it started.  As it ages, it starts to fall apart and requires frequent renovation.  But our expectation of that value increases.  Today, that house is worth 200K or 300K, that same house, because we expect a Ponzi scheme where the future will pay for the profits of the past, until, of course, you hit the brick wall of diminishing marginal returns, which is where a lot of young people are today.  They can’t afford to pay $300,000 for a house that is still only worth $50,000 in absolute value. That’s what the Fed and BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard did to the world’s money supply, and they thought they would get away with it because the world would switch to a digital currency before the balloon burst.  However, instead, we elected Trump, and he was intent on correcting this mess because he understood it from the inside out. He promised voters that he would do precisely what he is doing now: bring the value of the world’s economy home, which is what is happening now.  All those jobs shipped all over the globe because of horrendous economic policies will come home for their survival.  Prices in America will decrease due to increased competition.  And our economy will be awash in cash, lots of it.  And quickly.  The only people who will suffer are those who were betting on the demise of America, which includes many traders on Wall Street.  That is on them.  They were warned, and they placed their bets against America anyway; so, no amount of crying about it now will put the genie back in the bottle.  I am very proud of Trump.  But what he’s doing isn’t strange or unusual.  I’m just happy he had the guts to do it, and now everyone will see for themselves what they should have learned in school – how the economy works.  And Karl Marx was a slack-jawed loser that nobody should have listened to, ever.  And for all those colleges who taught all these young kids who are now grown adults Marxism, they should be giving back what those educations cost, because they crippled people, they didn’t help them, and now they are too stupid to function in the world.

Why Even Try: That was the message behind the ending of the ‘Yellowstone’ television show

I wanted to like Yellowstone, but I am so sick of all these dumb Indian stories where they are portrayed as some superior but victimized race of people who had their land stolen from them.  That whole line of dialogue was signaled from the beginning of the five seasons of Yellowstone, the popular television show that has been streaming for a while now.  But Taylor Sheridan, the writer, and director of the show, as well as the producer, did some experiments that pulled the show in a direction that looked to be a love letter to the MAGA movement at times, and I thought it was pretty good after I finally sat down this year and caught up to the whole thing.  It’s a story of the value of land ownership standing up to those who want to take it in the realm of big business, making it a classic Western story.  And it had its moments.  But the way it ended predictably fell back to the ridiculous Indian narrative, and after all that fighting, the show ended with part two of season 5 with John Dutton, played by Kevin Costner, dying at the hands of his jealous, adopted son, and the family giving the land back to the Indians.  And those same Indians went to the family cemetery and knocked over all the tombstones as if to erase that the Duttons were ever there.  This is significant because a series of spin-off shows have led to this main show of Yellowstone, which tells the story of many generations of the Dutton family fighting for their land, only to have it all gone in such an unspectacular way.  The show’s central theme then was not about property rights but about reconciling a loss that the Indians experienced because the Duttons moved there in the first place.

The truth is, and we are about to see this worldwide under the next Trump administration, the world wants to be protected by American ideas.  And that was what winning the West was all about in the first place.  The Indians were a global culture of backward-thinking nomads who were anti-civilization.  And some of them, at the time that Columbus arrived in the New World, wanted very much to be a part of that American experience.  And that was certainly the case in all these Taylor Sheridan stories about settling the Dutton family in the Yellowstone area.  The Indians weren’t evil, but they weren’t doing much to help themselves until Western civilization came along.  Reservation life might have come across as unfair, but so is a harsh winter with no shelter.  It all comes down to perspective, and for political motivations, we tend to romanticize the Indian lifestyle in unrealistic ways.  And that is certainly the problem with Hollywood writers who discover late in life the lavish lifestyle of Western life once they can afford to buy ranches of their own and get into the cowboy life a bit.  Taylor Sheridan certainly fell in love with Western life.  But coming from a Hollywood perspective, and this is obvious when you visit places like Jackson, Wyoming, where many celebrities leave Hollywood and set up homes in that area, the messages often get mixed.  And they try to bring their Hollywood liberalism to the rough and tumble Western lifestyle, and those two things usually don’t go together, which was the case with the entire Yellowstone television series.  Do you want to make a show that people want to watch, or do you want to make a political statement that changes from season to season?  And unfortunately for Yellowstone, it ultimately came down to a political statement about Indians and how we took their land from them unfairly. 

The indigenous people’s argument goes back to the invasion of Canaan by the Hebrews and persists to this day, and it’s the way that global socialists argue against their capitalist rivals.  And in America, the socialist movement latched on to the Indians and made them into an argument that America should have never been formed.  Under this next Trump term, we’re going to find out that many places in the world want to join the American idea because it’s good for them.  And it was good for the Indians, too.  But as we know from history, they weren’t the first to settle in America.  There was already an empire of very tall people who were part of a global pyramid-building culture that predated the Maya and Aztecs to the south, down into Mexico.  Off the coast of Cuba, under a lot of water, are buried cities that predate the Indians of the plains by many thousands of years.  I would say that the Indians are part of a failed culture that had its light put out long before the arrival of Columbus or the start of America as a nation and a set of ideas that freed the individual from the clutches of collectivism.  And the Indians were collectivists, which is why modern Marxists like them. However, from a historical perspective, they were a failed people from a society that tried but failed to emerge to build their own version of the city-state, leaving them mostly at war with each other when Columbus arrived.  Actors like Taylor Sheridan and Kevin Costner want to believe that, like the Chinese, the people from India and all over the East have superior knowledge about how to live with nature instead of imposing human will over it and that the key to happiness is just preposterous.  And every Western these days, because Hollywood has so many broken people, Westerns are made with that perspective, which gets irritating. 

And Yellowstone as a show just wasn’t very good without Kevin Costner.  They killed him off in the first episode of the second half of the season, and from there, the show just tanked.  Taylor Sheridan got too big for his pants and thought he didn’t need Costner.  So, the two parted ways over creative disagreements.  Costner was going through a divorce and wanted to make his own western series for the movies. A lot went wrong in everyone’s lives, and it showed in the show.  But Taylor Sheridan didn’t help himself by throwing gas on the fire with Costner, and instead of working with him to finish the show, he just killed him off, thinking the rest of the cast could carry the show.  Which they couldn’t.  And left to finish the show without Costner, they retreated to the Indian subplot and made that the moral of the unsatisfying story.  And it turned out to be garbage, not worth watching.  And that’s how Yellowstone ended in a political climate where the world is seriously thinking of becoming states of America, such as in Canada, Greenland, and Mexico.  After all, a country is just a set of ideas, and many places in the world want to have the same ideas as America because it’s good for them.  And it was good for the Indians, too.   What was bad for the Indians was a socialist political movement that wanted to exploit them to undo America’s creation as a capitalist country.  And at the end of Yellowstone, which started as a quest for land and capital, the dream of a family was broken and sent back to the heathens, the failures of world populations and society as if to say that none of it was worth while in the end.  So why even try?

Starting Wars to Control People: It was always the global strategy by secret societies like the Skull and Bones

It’s been a dirty little secret for a long time, but it has been going on since the dawn of human civilization, and we are seeing it come to an end here in 2024.  And that is the strategy of starting wars to control mass society.  Most recently, the example of the secret society, the Skull and Bones at Yale University, is to produce political figures who would keep that trend going to maintain an aristocracy of globalism for which people like John Kerry and the Bushes would support as they moved into political positions.  This is why those forces are in a rush to start more war ahead of President Trump’s next term, because after he’s back in office, there won’t be any tolerance for it.  It’s also why the Deep State fought so hard to get rid of Trump the first time, spending eight years doing everything they could do to pound him out of existence and to ensure that civilian control over the American government would never happen again.  Yet it did, and now the panic is viperous.  Few know it because it is a secret society, but in the lobby of the Skull and Bones building is the word “War” written on the wall as their foundational concept, and it’s how they always planned to rule.  These people never had a desire for world peace.  War was what they used to grab power as a Deep State and to use that power to stay in control.  When we say Deep State, as in the case of the Skull and Bones, it’s the desire to run a government that is beyond the civilian elected government.  Any notation of control that the Skull and Bones have about their role in government is unconstitutional. 

Just as the Bohemian Grove people believe on the West Coast, the idea of a secret society to mold the next generation through hazing rituals to rule in the background was only going to be possible if they gained the ability to start a war in one region, then to push for peace in another.  For instance, consider the protests of the Vietnam War that have had so much documentary evidence to review.  On the one hand, the Deep Staters would push for the expansion of communism into South East China by using war first against Japan to soften up the Chinese to communist attack from the north flowing out of Russia.  Then the sad bell boy, Ho Chi Minh from the Treaty of Versailles monstrosity, poised and angry at the French occupation of their homeland in Vietnam, adopted communism as their calling cry to freedom.  Americans were called into the war by the same globalists who started the war to provoke war protests then and usher in the hippie movement that had communist foundations to open the door in the West for such thinking on America’s college campuses.  None would have happened without the pressure of war to drive social change.  The war wasn’t about freedom in Vietnam; it was about bringing down the West in the same way that communism brought down China.  And China was being built to become the first state of globalism, meant to do the same to the rest of the world, which we see happening today.  China, the creation of the globalist one-world order threatening the world financially and structurally, pushed everyone into communism so that centralized governments could control everything in the background.  Trump was the first Republican to call the bluff card on this mess during his first term when he started putting an end to all these phony wars, especially regarding North Korea.

North Korea was built to be a sympathetic target to draw attention away from China.  As pretty much a useless threat to the world, they would launch their empty missiles out and over the Sea of Japan routinely, as the media would report the antics frantically to the world, hoping to provoke public reaction toward animosity toward the ruler, Kim Jong Un.  And who could forgive what the North Koreans did to the young man from Cincinnati, Otto Warmbier, who was tortured ruthlessly?  Fortunately, Trump saw through all these strategies and ignored the warnings of how dangerous Kim Jong Un was, and reached across the border to shake the young man’s hand and develop a friendship.  Left to their own devices, most people will do terrible things to each other, such as what happened to Otto Warmbier.  And that is actually how the Deep State recruits their people out of organizations like the Skull and Bones, with embarrassing sexual confessions meant to bond members for life, to use the deceitful nature of other human beings to mask their true intentions of a global aristocracy.  Those same rules apply to global politics, and nobody was ever supposed to give a member of the Axis of Evil, as George W. Bush always said of North Korea, a chance to be redeeming.  But what Trump exposed was the phony threat North Korea was to the war, provoking the Deep State to come after him even more vigorously and to attempt to inspire assassination attempts on Trump’s life, just as they did with President Kennedy.  All this mess started with these secret society members, such as Yale’s Skull and Bones, entering politics and bringing with them the philosophy of war to instigate trouble around the world so that they could be the firefighters to put out the fire they started themselves, which was certainly the case over oil in the Middle East.  All while ignoring the massive amounts of oil that were always in the United States and could have killed the enemy with competition and capitalism if they wanted to, and saved many lives and the dismemberment of innocent people.

This brings us to the ending of the Ukraine war, which was phony from day one.  When that war started, provoked by the Biden crime family for many reasons that only helped the Deep State maintain political control over the world, anybody who was flying a Ukrainian flag in the United States was seen as a fool.  People were catching on to this silly game and wanted an end to it.  The Deep State plan was to push Vladimir Putin into a war where he would lose and become the next China, just as Japan had forced China into a weakened position.  With Russia, the attack was to destroy it as a sovereign country.  And the same Deep Staters were trying to convince people that Putin had put Trump in office and that all of them needed to be removed to have a good world.  But the Deep State, run by these secret society losers, went too far, and this process of Trump exposing it shattered the illusion of self-government.  In a somewhat honest election, Trump was re-elected to the White House, and all the wars around the world that had been brewing are suddenly going to have cold water thrown on them all.  And that’s how the Deep State gets destroyed because the only real power they had was just as the Skull and Bones people had, through secrecy and mutual dirty laundry on each other to bond them to villainy.  And start wars to drive the political narrative, allowing them to gain control.  It was a game that suddenly ended in 2024 for the first time in human history.  Secret societies were dedicated to these war-like causes long before the Skull and Bones people came along.  However, this trend extends back to all known times, and it only ended when Trump went back to the White House, backed by a government of people who had expressed control over their government for the first time.

We Are Fighting A Revolution: Celebrities are finally understanding the Banana Republic that we have already become

Don’t mistake the situation; we are fighting a revolution and nothing short.  A lot of celebrities, like Elon Musk and Mel Gibson, are saying these days that if Trump isn’t re-elected, America will fall into a Banana Republic.  I hate to break it to everyone, but we have been a Banana Republic for several years already.  What has happened is that the pretense of communist thought that has always been lurking in the background on just about everything we do has been realized due to its massive failure.  The only thing that has changed is the blankets most people have been hiding under for most of their lives.  As long as they were living well, they didn’t pay much attention, and they could afford to flirt with left-of-center compassions without truly understanding the impact of those decisions.  So long as we were a rich country, we could flirt with evil temptations as there was food on the table, a nice car to drive, and a school to drop off our children.  That is why after Trump was removed from office right after the 2020 election, I sat down and read to everyone from the pages of Cleon Skousen’s famous book, The Naked Communist, because that was the reality of our condition.  And I wanted people to be comforted by that knowledge because what he had to do was nothing short of a Revolutionary War.  We were being tested, and we were going to have to dig deep and find our resolve to take our country back from these evil people.  It wasn’t that we were going to lose it in future tense.  We had already lost it, past tense. When people seem surprised to learn this, they only indicate that they are just now realizing something that has been a fact for a long time. 

Once the smoke clears from all this, history will remember it as a major revolution, and we can only hope that we can fight and win it with a legalized voting process rather than by force.  If you understand the conditions of the American Revolution, it was a lot like what we are seeing today, except the villain is not just an oppressive English rule over some remote colonies, but globalism and its communist intentions by using China as the model everyone else is supposed to follow.  Even a few months ago, Elon Musk was flirting with left-of-center ideas because he could afford to.  Like many celebrities, especially when they are financially well off, they become socially left of center because they have the luxury of compassion, which is one of the perils of success.  How do you keep the “Eye of the Tiger” attitude at winning in life with a full bank account and the realization that there are a lot of needy people in the world, and it makes you feel good to help them by throwing money at them?  It is more of an exploitation of a human need to belong to other human beings than any practical sentiments that might spawn from the exchange.  When people become successful, they naturally want to share that success with their peers so that they will be liked.  And with America’s prosperity, many people have felt guilty for that success compared to other places in the world that are struggling for the basics.  Left-leaning policies are commonly adapted to cover that gap because people feel they have the luxury of excess to entertain those thoughts. 

But when people don’t feel they have an excess, they quickly turn to themselves and their immediate needs for survival.  And that is what we are seeing now ahead of the 2024 election, and people are saying this time, as opposed to at times in the past, that if President Trump is not re-elected as President of the United States, we will fall into a Banana Republic.   Inflation is high, it’s hard for many people to buy gas and food, and their compassion for left-leaning ideas has eroded quickly from 2020 to 2024.  And I said it then, and I’ll continue to say it: COVID scared people because it was the first time that people saw what I have been warning about for years: the intentions of FEMA camps and having their Constitutional rights wholly taken from them.  And to have their jobs taken away, their president, their entire way of life.  It was very traumatic for many people; then, to add to all that an overt stolen election by invisible hands intending to cash in on all the communism that had been imported into our government structure, people were ready to hear what I had been warning about for decades.  Finally, it was natural for them.  And those communist plots are so well entrenched that they believe that in America, the same kind of communist controls were going to be acceptable, which was the whole strategy behind launching Kamala Harris in the first place as an alternative to Joe Biden.  People are finally seeing behind the skin color tricks and the ridiculous notion of the “first female president” when they see what that means during an interview with Bret Baier on Fox News.  It’s silly to think that anybody expected a closet campaign for President to work and that they would have control of the entire media to shape the story.  But they did; it was all in The Naked Communist by Cleon Skousen from the late 1950s. 

To answer the question about voting, yes, we can have this revolution where America retakes its power back from the globalists.  I have been reviewing President Trump’s books on his previous presidency and looking at all the pictures he has put in those books, such as the best-selling Save America which I think is just extraordinary as a work of art.  There are more pictures from that presidential perspective in Melania Trump’s new book too.  What’s unique about those books is that they give the world a seat at the table about who is running things because Trump met them all and knew them.  And what those pictures capture that the conspiracy theories miss is that the people in the world behind the globalist movement are frail and not very smart, which is why they gravitated to communism in the first place as a refuge to their personal deficiencies.  That is what has come out regarding Kamala Harris, who has now been forced to do interviews and abandon the hiding campaign that worked for Biden during Covid in the previous election.  The people behind globalism are not very smart or sinister once you get into a room with them and get them talking.  They are pretty easy to beat.  Their only real weapon has been concealment.  And now they have lost that.  So now that people have confirmed what has been going on with their country, they are willing to fight for it.  This is good because when President Trump is re-elected after what all these evil people have done to them, the American people will reward Trump with the kind of support he did not have the first time around.  Fundamental, revolutionary changes will be made because they have to be.  There must be penalties for trying to take over a country with communism.  And now that people see the truth for what it has always been, without the rosy lenses of compassion clouding their judgment, people are finally ready to do something about it, not just in supporting President Trump for president, but in helping the actions he will have to take to take back our country from the clutches of global communism.  I would say one of the most significant indicators of all this was how quickly the FAA gave SpaceX their permit after the last round of polling came out to show that Kamala Harris had no path to win the upcoming election, and essentially Elon Musk, the guy they had been punishing with government regulation, was going to be their new boss.  So they better stop with the games and give him a permit.  There are many millions of tyrannies like that which impact most Americans, and it’s time to put them all to an end.  And that end will come whether by vote or by force.  But it will come because people finally see its necessity and are ready for a much-needed change.

The Biggest Thing to Ever Happen to the Human Race: SpaceX performed perfectly with Starship 5

In many ways, the spectacular Super Heavy Booster catch at the SpaceX facility was more significant than when the Berlin Wall came down.  Much more important, politically, scientifically, and philosophically.   It was an awesome display of what human minds can achieve when unleashed, and to say the least, the door to human colonization of space was just kicked wide open.  On an even larger scale, the pages of Karl Marx might as well have been burnt as the most inefficient system of government management ever created.  Capitalism was and will always be the means of managing people and their finances for the future as this incredible event occurred just a few weeks away from the 2024 election, where essentially those are the two choices: abundant capitalism from a sovereign American market or global communism ran by the United Nations.  Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, gets it.  I was probably the first person in the world, including himself, to see Musk turn hard to Republican elected officials as he had in the past been an enthusiastic supporter of Barack Obama and Biden.  I chronicled his change by the kind of books he was reading and pointed it out well before he seemed to have figured it out.  Communism doesn’t work, and it was overt communism that had been holding back this fantastic event of the launch of Starship 5 from Boca Chica, Texas, and the Starbase there with FAA permits that were holding everything up with massive government bureaucracy.   Once they finally had their permit, under tremendous public pressure, the FAA had no choice really; the SpaceX team launched, for the first time in all history, the largest vehicle ever to go into space and have controlled landings in two different locations precisely over their targets, all automated and coming off without a problem.  The countdown to launch was exact and on point, and we saw what routine spaceflights over the coming years would look like. 

America has a choice to make that is very positive: elect President Trump and get a whole lot more toward a massively expanding economy as what people saw from SpaceX on October 13th, 2024.  As I watched the Super Heavy Booster carry Starship into space to land in the Indian Ocean about an hour later, the giant thing the size of a skyscraper turned around and landed back at the same pad it had just launched from.  It returned to earth to be captured by the Megazilla chopsticks at the launch pad precisely and smoothly.  I first thought that we needed to work out the property rights issue that would arise as we settled into space.  The world is getting ready to go through a gold rush similar to what America experienced during westward expansion, and the governing principle will have to be flamboyant capitalism to pull it all off.  One of the very first things that the new Trump administration will have to do is protect property rights on the Moon and other celestial bodies.  It will have to be American economic standards that the rest of the world will have to live up to because we will be the first to arrive and set up colonies.  Starship will make moving into space a practical reality and an economy that will quickly outperform anything ever done on earth, including coal, oil, railroads, shipping, and telecommunications.  We are talking about trillions and trillions of dollars of economic value.  But it’s not about making money that matters; it’s expanding human intellect, and the only way to do that is to embrace capitalism and human expansion into space.  A lot is about to change for the better because of what SpaceX did.  The personal journey that Elon Musk has made politically, out of necessity, is one that the rest of the world will now have to embrace—especially communist China.

While the FAA and other government regulatory agencies were trying to protect environmental concerns in the cooling system of SpaceX launches, and California announced a ban of any Elon Musk launch into space from their state entirely due to his political beliefs, China is plotting to carry their communist nation into space with very aggressive plans.  So, America must be the first to enter these vast realms and establish the ground rules.  The moon needs to be viewed as another continent in our neighborhood that is about the size of Africa, and humans will inevitably go there and use it as a staging platform for expansion into the solar system.  All the typical political models of the past are suddenly irrelevant, which is evident behind the Trump campaign in America.  So many people have come together under Trump, including Elon Musk, that a new direction for the entire world has just unfolded, and the proof of what is possible was just shown by the Super Heavy rocket that landed precisely at a spaceport like something from a science fiction concept.  Only this wasn’t fiction; it was fact.  Over one hundred years of science fiction and fantasy were being engineered into reality, and an explosion of intellect was thrust onto the world stage.  All past philosophies, except vivacious capitalism, would be inappropriate for embracing these massive changes. 

I’ve been a fan of SpaceX for a long time now, and I cheer them on with each launch. They have achieved some new and fantastic engineering breakthroughs.  But I did not expect that Super Heavy Booster to return to the launch pad to be captured like that.  And to answer everyone catching up, why do they have to capture that rocket with the chopsticks? Well, that’s because the Super Heavy Rocket weighs 250 tons, and it would add too much weight to the craft to have legs on it like they do their Falcon rockets.  (the Falcon rockets are named after the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars, by the way, which demonstrates what impact science fiction can have on making it into science reality)  The chopsticks on Mechazilla (also named after the massive mechanical monster in Godzilla movies) are a means to take that pressure away from the Super Heavy craft and place it back on its launch stand to be refueled and relaunched within hours.  See what’s going on here?  The new Giga factory for Starship there at the Spaceport in Texas is planning to build 1000 Star Ships per year, and launches will go up every day, several times a day, to take massive amounts of payload and people into space to live as a routine part of human existence.  Fueled by science fiction books and movies, the imaginations of many brilliant people have found a home under Elon Musk, and now they need an economic system that can unleash their vast potential.  And communism was never going to be it.  The pressure of performance under the upcoming Trump administration will change the world for the better in ways that most aren’t ready for.  But what SpaceX did on Sunday, the 13th of October, was life-changing.  I would say it was more significant than the moon landing because of what it does to the economy of space.  No longer would countries control the realm of space, but it would be the laws of economic reality, imagination, and ambition.  The human race demands autonomy and freedom to think, contemplate, and invent.  And Starship by SpaceX is the means to achieve the greatness of the human race under the potential of capitalism for thousands of years in the future.  And it all starts with a proven concept, which SpaceX has done.  Now, it needs a political system that can make it happen, and that comes with the election of President Trump.

The 400 Dumb Economists Against Trump: Destroying globalism and their wealth redistribution of looted American value is the top priority

I am happy to argue with any economist, especially the 400 or so who have come out against President Trump’s proposed tariffs on imported goods once he is in for another term of office, that they have no idea what they are discussing.  Or that their hatred of Trump’s tariffs is purely because it goes against their strategy of globalism, where the United Nations would control our managed economy.  Not the United States.  Just because 400 people say something, or even a thousand, it doesn’t change what something is.  And when they say that Trump’s tariff policy will destroy the American economy the first time around and in the future, some context is required to understand what they are saying.  Economics was one of my majors in college.   So was philosophy, and while in college, I thought both were disastrously stupid wastes of time.  I went to college knowing way too much for my good.  I had a very unconventional education up to that point, so it was easy to see what was happening.  Mostly because different kinds of people study economics and philosophy, it was easy for this globalist ruse to be concealed because nobody knew one from the other in their social circles.  But it was obvious to me that Marxism was written into the economic books even as far back as the late eighties when I was in college.  And I knew that because that’s all they taught in philosophy class.  For me, it started with a study of Eastern philosophy, which was meant to open the door to the Chinese way of thinking about the world, and of course, they were outright communists.  So once everyone was taught in college how smart the Chinese were, then students who didn’t know any better would adopt communism as their mode of managing people and, of course, economic activity. 

Western philosophy, starting with the Greeks, was rationalized into failure by discussing empire building, starting with Alexander the Great, and then studying the Decline of the West as Spengler proposed.  So I frustrated the professors of these classes infinitely because I had already read all these books before I ever stepped into their classrooms and had figured out what was going on even then.  And I recognized what was happening with the transition of the Reagan economy and the one George Bush was proposing when he talked about a “New World Order.”  There was money to be made in globalism, and by essentially robbing the capitalist economy of America and redistributing that wealth to other countries that were choking on their following of Marxism, which was detrimental to their economies.  Many people would make a lot of money off stealing American wealth and redistributing it to countries that didn’t have much of an economy, and that is how the communist government of China became such an economic powerhouse.  But it’s also why a country with over a billion people still struggles economically with the United States, which has only a fraction of that number producing goods and services.  The reason that America had so much money was capitalism.  The political left then, as they are now, was very committed to destroying the concept of capitalism so that globalism could occur and wealth would then be managed by a Marxist-oriented government in the United Nations.  Now, let’s fast forward to our present time and note that the head of the United Nations today is Antonio Guterres, who is an outright socialist.  So, things have been moving in that trajectory of thought for many years.  Rob the wealth of America and give it to the rest of the world through wealth redistribution run by Marxist, socialist, and communist governments orchestrated by the United Nations, with the World Economic Forum setting policy in the background.

When Mitch McConnell says that he is critical of Trump’s tariffs and supports “free trade” policies, he is essentially saying that he defines free trade as the looting of American wealth without any defense.  He’s speaking for his father-in-law’s shipping company, which is set up in China and is the source of much of his family’s wealth.  When you have Republicans like him, who needs Democrats?  But don’t forget, just because authorities don’t want to investigate the origins of the COVID-19 virus in Wuhan, China, doesn’t mean that they have a valid reason for it.  Don’t ask the investigators to investigate themselves.  They know as everyone does now, that Covid was a bioweapon constructed to destroy cultures with health regulations, and they were looking to bring down Western civilization with it.  During an election year in the United States, right after Trump clamped down on the trade tariffs against China, COVID-19 was released from China and spread aggressively into the United States.  China never locked down the way the rest of the world did, and they were pretty arrogant about it.  They convinced us to shut down our entire economy while they did very little because they knew the nature of the virus and why it existed in the first place.  And likely the most apparent straw that broke their back was Trump’s tariffs.  They needed to get him out of office so the trade imbalance between China and America would stay in the favorable category toward them, the looting of American wealth and redistributing it into the communist country of China.  It was Globalism 101, taught in the college classes I attended in the late 80s and early 90s.  And it was always an overt attack against America for the ultimately planned destruction of capitalism in general.

So when Kamala Harris says that 400 economists are against Trump’s tariffs against other countries to set things right in the United States, I would happily argue with all of them about how wrong they are.  Just because there are many of them doesn’t mean they are right.  The most valuable thing I learned in college was that most people are wrong.  Just because many people think something, it only means that they were taught all the wrong stuff.  And it only takes one person to set things straight.  But because of my background, there isn’t a single person in the world who can argue with me about the economy.  And Trump gets it; his tariffs are meant to reverse the destructive effect of trade imbalances with America and will restore sovereign wealth to everyone within the borders of the United States of America.  Globalism will fail dramatically because the Marxist minds running the idea must steal American wealth and destroy capitalism as a concept so they can rebuild America under the United Nations with a centralized digital currency they control from Davos or Geneva.  So those against Trump’s tariffs are those working against capitalism, which is essentially free trade driven by market conditions, not centralized socialist governments.  Those in America speaking out against Trump’s tariffs are looking to profit off the planned demise of America by skimming away wealth as a broker to redistribute it in the process.  When pressed, most people will say that they read Spengler’s book and were planning accordingly.  But Spengler’s Decline of the West was wishful thinking, not capitalist reality.  And they now fear what Trump is saying, and they will cry and scream about the tariffs against other countries.  However, it would be great for America if Trump put his tariffs in place quickly and aggressively; it’s not the American economy that would be destroyed.  Trump’s tariffs will destroy globalism and Marxism and put the value of American capitalism on the world’s stage in ways they have always feared.  And it will be great for the world.

Fentanyl is a Weapon of Mass Destruction: Countries that Hate America are purposfully trying to kill us through the drug trade

If I had to pick a president who most resembled the United States as a personality, I would say it would be President Grant.  Grant was a great president and man, but his memory has been shaped by those who hate him.  There were quite a few people who sought to take advantage of him because he was friendly and honest.  There is nothing that we can do to make the world love us or even like us.  There is a seething hatred of America by many in the world that is just a fact of life, and they have been planning our destruction aggressively since we started.  That is a tough admission for many, but they must make it so we can solve these problems. We have talked about illegal immigration as a weapon of purposeful war, attacking America as a Cloward and Piven strategy of overwhelming the system so that it would force the overthrow and change of that system.  The current fentanyl crisis on the drug abuse front is, without question, a military-scale attack that is the deliberate poisoning of our culture, intent for destruction.  Like many people sadly can claim these days, I know many people who have lost someone they have loved to an overdose of fentanyl.  However, the scale of the problem became apparent to me during the summer of 2024 when I was serving as the foreman for a grand jury in Butler County, Ohio.  Out of the hundreds of cases I heard with a grand jury, most of them were drug cases that directly involved possessing and trafficking in fentanyl, and from that perspective, there is no doubt about the reason that poison is flooding our streets.  It’s not a market fulfillment problem by mind-numb soothsayers seeking recreation through drug use, the way society has been framed to believe.  It’s not a libertarian fantasy of “my body, my right” kind of thing that is protected by constitutional limits on government to crush individual desires.  It’s a purposeful poisoning of American culture by the Mexican government in conjunction with the Chinese government and globalism behind those efforts to destroy their rivals on the world stage by wiping out entire generations of people.

If the purpose of war is to kill more of the other guy’s troops than you receive, and whoever says “uncle” first is determined to be the loser of the fight, then the drug saturation of American markets is the modern version of wartime activity against a nation that the aggressors are seeking to destroy.  There is nothing patriotic about drug abuse, but we have been tricked into thinking so, much the way all kinds of well-seeming people scammed President Grant during his gullible lifetime.  President Grant was friendly and honorable, and he couldn’t imagine that people would be up to no good because he never was.  And throughout the emergence of American life, that is how the world has also come to know us.  And they do hate us for it.  So when they think about Americans, they plot and scheme for ways to deceive us and to wipe us from the face of the earth.  That is the only intention of flooding our country with fentanyl, which hides behind a culture that uses our freedoms to prevent the military attack for what it truly is.  The amount of fentanyl that is killing people maliciously because it’s a dangerous drug that is quickly passed around the party scene is genuinely alarming.  It is the number one killer of adults 18 to 50 and has killed more people each year than all the wars we have had combined typically do.  Nobody is talking about it because that is part of the plot, so the people they want to kill off don’t even realize it’s happening.  So it doesn’t get much coverage, just as Kamala Harris doesn’t get scrutinized in the press.  These are all people who hate us and want us dead.  And fentanyl is one of their weapons of war. 

We go through the motions of law enforcement regarding drug trafficking of fentanyl as if we were trying to tell our children not to touch a hot oven.  As if we were teaching them a lifestyle choice that might prevent them from acquiring pain by their choices.  Fentanyl distribution is far more dangerous than that.  Hostile financial insurgents who have captured the governments of violent countries have purposely produced fentanyl to destroy those who consume it, and that is one of the significant dangers of an open border with a Marxist country in Mexico and why Canada is so dangerous.  The desire to overthrow a capitalist rival for them is too tempting.  China, as the largest communist country in the world, is certainly motivated by the same outcome.  Fentanyl starts in China and is then mass-produced in Mexico by the cartels and then shipped straight into the United States through open borders seeking to attack the production-aged people and to cripple them with death and mind-destroying weapons of war distributed through a “party culture” that has its roots in the communist movement of corrupting the youth for state control.  This trend was started by the Bolsheviks under Lenin while saturating Russia with communism at the turn of the last century. Drug use and distribution in this party culture was always the plan, and the mass killing of people was the known objective.

The worst thing that happened to President Grant at the end of his presidency was that after all his years of fame, he was easily hoodwinked by those he trusted who wanted to make money off his name.  He ended up bankrupt at the end of his life; he trusted people with his investments, who lost them all in pyramid schemes that led to his destruction.  And those seeking to deceive his excellent name and trust in other people essentially wiped away a life of much success.  Many are at war with us in the world disguised as friendships, and they use that relationship for their strategic desires.  They think the world has too many people, that we are a burden on the earth itself, and that we must be eliminated.  And they control the governments of China and Mexico and are behind the globalist push for Marxism.  And we have not met that aggressor for what they are worth.  For me, seeing the massive amount of destruction fentanyl brings to our communities from the perspective of criminal conduct can only be viewed in one way: as a weapon of war.  One of the things I am most looking forward to under the next Trump term in office is categorizing fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction because that is precisely what it is.  We must fight it on those terms and no others because there is no other way to understand the use of fentanyl to destroy the cultures they are distributed to.  China knows what they are doing and is purposely seeking to kill Americans.  Mexico certainly sees it that way, and they are not our friends.  These are hostile countries toward the United States, and they are looking at us all as suckers who will be too nice to them and allow them to be complicit in the murder of many of our people in a purposeful attempt to destroy our country from the inside out—disguised as a recreation, when in fact, it’s all been a weapon of war declared on us not from governments, but from the people who run them.

Kamala Harris and Her Communist Democrats: Trying to escape the burden of what has been

One of the important things that Kamala Harris says repeatably in her public appearances is “what can be, unburdened by what has been.”  It is her most consistent statement and is the essential political platform of “progressives.”  They want change from their present condition, into what “can be.”  Usually, that consists of bad decisions that they have made and allows them to erase the implications of failure and replace it with some form of comfortable group acceptance. What Kamala is talking about is the summary of the Karl Marx book, The Communist Manifesto and has been the mantra of those types of people for well over a century now. Yet, in the most successful country in the world, which has empowered the most people over the longest period, why would we want all this change? Because what she is saying is that she and her kind want to change from the best country to the worst. That is what Barack Obama’s Hope and Change always was essentially, the hope of the communists of the world that America would change its practices and become just as bad as everyone else. When you are a loser, as Kamala Harris clearly has been, and made terrible decisions in life that are embarrassing, of course you would not want to be burdened with that memory for the rest of your life. So, for Democrats, this idea of not being burdened by what has been, is a chance to reinvent themselves away from all their mistakes. And that is what we are up against with the global Marxists, which Kamala Harris is their clear representative. What she is talking about in her radical political platform is an appeal to the losers of the world to hit a great reset and tear away the standards of success, so that she can make way for that unburdened judgment of social norms, such as not having reckless sex, and aborting the child as a result so that they can be unburdened from their mistakes.  Or using drugs to become unburdened by the impact of reality. Or going on welfare to be unburdened by the pressure of a need to produce income to support your family. That is the world of Kamala Harris and her Democrats of Doom in America.

It was not always easy for people to admit that there was a communist party platform in America that was seeking to undo all our lives. We always thought that the threat of invasion would be as it was presented in movies about war, such as The Longest Day with John Wayne. Or Red Dawn. But I have warned for years that much of what the Democrat party does is communist. And there has never been such an overt communist running for office than Kamala Harris and her VP pick the China loving Tim Walz. And yes, he loves China and has quite a long history with the communist country. These are not our friendly neighbors. These are hostile insurgents seeking to undo the American way of life, which is to say, a successful life of liberty and happiness for which we are all entitled to pursue under the freedom of self-assertion. I can say that I have seen a lot of stuff. And recently as part of an experience on a grand jury, I can say that I have seen a grotesque underbelly of what is really going on in society, and I will have a lot to say about it. But my opinions do not come from a vacuum of experiencing the world from the safety of my own peer groups. I have always stepped out of that comfort zone looking for added information and I can say that I have seen the worst of what people can do.

Sadly, I have always loved Middletown, Ohio, where J.D. Vance is from. It is a shame what has happened to it. But it is what happens to cities that end up with leadership like what Kamala Harris proposes, where too much communism is brought in to manage what used to be a thriving community. In the case of Middletown, diversity was brought in where shared values were not normalized. And the well-paying jobs of their economy were shipped away through policy to the needs of globalism. And what’s left is an entire community that cannot go on vacation without the burdens of society wanting to accept people taking over your home. I can say that I have seen a multitude of examples in just Middletown of the worst that people can do to each other where social collapse has happened as a direct result of communist policy hidden behind the political party of Democrats. And there are homes where drug use is as common as eating cereal for breakfast. People come and go from these homes wondering aimlessly through life and they seek drugs to bury their pains of horrendous decisions made through life in great abundance. And the weight of their bad decisions, unpaid for, brings the world around them into a landscape of misery. That is precisely what Kamala Harris, who has been a drug user herself, means when she wants to be unburdened from the past to make way for what can be. Whenever a society is running from their past where they did not achieve success due to bad decisions, you end up with a result of failure compounded because behavior was never inspired to change for the better. They just ran from the results of their failure, which never fixes anything.

What Democrats leave in their wake is the kind of nightmares that you see in high crime areas, what Democrats have essentially done to California, and communities like Middletown, Ohio. The way people who seek to unburden themselves from the mistakes of the past live is incredibly detrimental and the world would be shocked if forced to look at it for too long. It is one thing to hear about sad things going on in the world, its quite another to see and hear the details of a criminal underbelly that is the net result of lives lived under the mantra that Kamala Harris is uttering for the entire country. To be unburdened by the past to make way for what can be. She is not talking about success, because America has been successful with the most opportunities for the most people that there are in the world. Rather, Democrats want people to fail in life, because their entire platform is to replace that failure with the stolen redistribution of value that they use the government to steal from good people, and to give to desperate people who have lived their lives in horrible ways. And they seek to spread their influence on every corner of the globe with communism, because through shared guilt and penalty, the burden of a life lived poorly can be shared, so that those most guilty don’t have to be crushed by the burden of bad decisions for the rest of their lives.  Kamala Harris and her communist Democrats want people to make mistakes because she is offering redemption from those errors which then gives centralized government more power. And a world of individuality is destroyed as a result, which is the change that communists want to evoke in the world, especially in America.

World War II would have Never Happened if not for Tom Lamont of J.P. Morgan Bank: Why Making America Great Again is the only light the future has for the world

It’s an easy catch-all to think of banks as evil entities that control the world through mass manipulation.  But it’s inevitable that without banks, the world would still be digging through dirt to make a mud hut in which to reside.  The problem with banks is that the further away they get, like most things, from individualized control, where unique personalities drove them to goodness or detriment, the more evil they became.  Today’s trouble is that they are so big, powerful, and global that they no longer respect a sovereign nation.  This is why my emphasis on things is to reflect to the beginning, toward western expansion for our national identity, as I point out often in my book The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, because the mistakes that banks have made over the years have only compounded on top of each other as more socialism and communism seeped into their practices, and golf swings became the measure of individual merit more than wisdom, and social utility.  And that was certainly the case with Tom Lamont, one of the leading partners at J.P. Morgan, who would eventually run the whole bank.  The banks caused most of the last century’s wars and created the blueprint for all future wars, which ultimately would become all about debt maintenance and not national values defined by borders.  And keep in mind, the banks were best when people like Tom Lamont ran them.  What we see today is far worse and demands a complete rethinking of how we maintain the value of our currency and how people protect it and use it for capitalist endeavors.  But before we can fix it, we need to understand it, and many people don’t.  When you start talking about monetary value, people’s eyes glaze over with boredom.  Yet, it is one of the most important aspects of modern society, and to have a well-managed banking relationship with the rest of the world is a challenge.

There would not have been World War I if progressive globalists weren’t trying to push everyone’s buttons to form a League of Nations for global government.  However, the debts incurred by that war caused forever trouble with other nations and started to erode the sentiments of everyone involved in the mess we see these days, which many have assumed was a forever condition.  But we can’t accept that, and if we want to Make America Great Again, we have to start with a good, sound policy. Out of all the people involved in politics these days, Vivek Ramaswamy has some of the best ideas on how to restore the financial sovereignty of the United States and to start the process of undoing the many mistakes made by financial institutions as they began to dig themselves in a hole during Tom Lamont’s time.  Like most things in life, the big banks that the Morgans and Rothschilds ran did some great stuff and many evil things, but the path to Hell was undoubtedly paved with good intentions.  To say that World War II was caused essentially by Tom Lamont of the J.P. Morgan bank would not be wrong.  Much of it was in reaction to massive bankruptcies that started on collapsed fiscal policies from World War I, especially in Germany and Italy.  Tom Lamont was personally involved with Bonito Mussolini, the rise of the Nazi party, and the Emperor of Japan as they were all cash-strapped, and J.P. Morgan Bank tried to help manage them to keep them sovereign and independent. 

The mistake happened when Tom Lamont thought he knew more about market conditions than the market itself.  That is always the problem with banks: they try to micromanage their limits of vision into a more productive economy.  Instead of serving the economy, they try to see themselves as super managers, and soon, they are putting constraints where they don’t belong, and things start getting out of hand.  And that was the mistake with Tom Lamont and the Axis Powers during World War II.  I have a problem that always comes up that causes me to think about this issue.  I often talk about the Flying Tigers, the AVG group led by Claire Chennault to protect China from an aggressive Japan seeking to take their property.  And how globalists at the time wanted to soften up China for a communist takeover after the defeated rebellion of communism occurred in 1926.  So by the thirties, the Red Scare was spreading to all corners of the world, set afire by secret societies managing the decline of currencies everywhere.  And the J.P. Morgan group out of New York wanted to save the world from this happening.  However, they also behaved with too much socialism and micromanagement which was the trend of the time, thinking they could control banking enough to keep peace between everyone.  But they tampered with market conditions and helped keep the Germans, Italians, and Japanese afloat when they should have collapsed under their mismanagement.  Competition should have picked winners and losers, not banking relationships.  And so it went that Japan had many hundreds and hundreds of planes financed by the banking industry intent to keep the peace, but instead cause the massive atrocities that were seen in the early days of World War II, and during it until it was eventually concluded with a nuclear bomb. 

And the world never recovered from these mistakes.  And instead of dealing with the errors, they have dug in and gone in the other direction, giving rise to an administrative state that is now ruling the world far worse than the days when Tom Lamont was giving money to the fascists of Italy and the Nazis of Germany, and making it so that the Japanese could build all those planes and navy to create a global monstrosity that could only be settled by war, in the aftermath of all that was the creation of the United Nations, which caused monumental problems on the world stage.  However, they care only about creating a global government, not the impact it might have on individual people.  The problem all these large institutions have is that they tamper with the markets rather than serving market needs, which is the heart of free market capitalism and the concept of the invisible hand, which hints at God managing the affairs of humanity, not institutions, which has always caused massive consternation.  However, the fact remains that the banks were wrong from the beginning.  They have done a lot right and a lot more incorrect.  People like Tom Lamont should never have as much power over individual lives as they did.  But the administrative state is a far worse creation than the power the banks had initially because they followed a wave of communism built off a Marxist ideology that ruined everyone’s approach from the very beginning.  It’s not that modern society can’t live without banking relationships.  But how they interact with the world needs to be much more Adam Smith and much less Karl Marx.  In the beginning, nobody truly understood how market conditions were created and maintained, and a few individual tycoons like the Morgans, the Rothschilds, the Rockefellers, and the Vanderbilts rose to meet the challenge.  However, over a very short time, their failures migrated into the market and created disasters on a scale that nations couldn’t even deal with, but with war and carnage.  It is an important lesson to consider as we fix the many problems of today, to Make America Great Again, and why that is the only hope for the world.
