How to Defeat the Administrative State: Why being free is profitable

How to Defeat the Administrative State

I wrote my book The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business because of the necessity in business and life in general to defeat the administrative state.  One of the most significant objectives in business cultures is to decentralize their operations and break down the silos that various departments often isolate themselves with tall walls of bureaucracy.  Most of the world is suffering under some form of administrative state.  When governments want communism, for instance, they want an expansion of the administrative state.   When people say they want to be freer, they want to have less restriction in their lives of an administrative state.  So it was my goal in that book to teach people to break down their limitations without destroying their organization by learning how to deal with decentralized administration and value the input of individual effort.  It will remain for quite a long time; the most significant problem humans have is their desire to create administrative states. Yet, their personal needs to function without them is what all life strives for.  The defining problem of Lean Manufacturing is to decentralize business operations with de-siloed methods.  But it never works well in America because, in Asia, people need less of an administrative state due to the nature of the people to submit to an authority figure, since they have always been accustomed to worshiping a king or emporer throughout their societal development.  That is why communism might appear to work in China, whereas it would never work in America because people will not follow directions from a centralized planner.  They might pay lip service to such instructional flow down. Still, Americans will always sabotage their central planners where in Asia, they individually accept their place in the scheme of things and follow directions in a decentralized way.

Decentralization, therefore, is the goal and the trend of all future societies.  How successful can an organization be if the administrative state is small and without teeth of authority?  I explain in my book why embracing decentralization of authority, there are more opportunities for success than in the slow, terrestrial administrative state filled with mind-numbing bureaucrats.  For instance, I like to use football metaphors, and the best teams on the field are those most decentralized.  If players have to look to the sideline for instruction from their coaches after each play, then coordinating all that activity in the face of constantly changing circumstances moment to moment while confronting the variables of an opponent, the chances for error are much greater. Instead, what the coaches should do is prepare each player between games for every circumstance, then once on the field, they can adapt through their onfield leadership on how to deal with the challenges they are dealing with.  For instance, coaching becomes much easier when a team has a great quarterback because you have leadership representation in the huddle, and audibles can be made much faster depending on the kind of defense presented.  That is the same in all things in life; if we wait for a centralized planner to tell us what to do, the opportunities for success in life, whether for the individual or a social group, are minimized and perhaps lost altogether.  When innovation and productivity are significantly reduced, people tend to be much unhappier, including people who function as members of the administrative state. 

One of my most common sayings is that I’ll trade my Black Belt for a gunbelt all the time.  In Lean Manufacturing, which uses terminology from oriental martial arts, the American perception of gunfighting is much more effective.  Where the martial arts of Asia are mostly a defensive fighting mode, not usually displayed for an attack on an opponent, such as a centralized authority, the American gunfighter showed traits where they could function as agents of justice even when the legal system was decentralized from the backing of a big government.  The frontier sheriffs such as Wild Bill Hickok and Wyatt Earp were able to bring a sense of justice to developing towns in the Wild West through gunfighting that was unique in the world.  Never before in modern history, modern being the city-state’s development, did a nation form under the blank slate of natural human autonomy.  This is why to this very day, the political left, communists, socialists, even major corporations tend to seek sympathy for the American Indian, as they were soundly defeated during Westward Expansion.  They like the tribal Indian with all their administrative state, adherence to the gods of nature, the village chief, and social hierarchy formed in communal life.  When really, what we learned during Westward Expansion was the alignment of individual goals to the task of necessity.  For instance, President Grant made it known that there was personal wealth to be obtained in the Black Hills, which inspired many hungry individuals to risk it all in pursuit of opportunity.  When a great leader can align the needs of a business, or a nation toward an objective without imposing an administrative state in the way to slow everything down, great things can happen and did.  The centralized administrative state, the Indians, could not fight the decentralized frontier settler.  One was motivated by preserving a centralized authority. The other was driven by individual gain.  This is precisely the problem of our modern times with centralized authority for all kinds of reasons trying to pin down a society with the fear porn of Covid.  Americans pay lip service to authority but do what they want.  Other cultures where Covid was designed are quick to adhere to centralized planning, which ultimately fails because the administrative state is too insulated from reality to make the proper decisions in crisis management. 

When people look at the events happening to them right now and fear a global takeover of the “elite” of the “Davos Crowd,” I tell them not to worry.  The fight is not about force or even intelligence.  The administrative state will always have the same problems; they will always be too slow to solve issues in real-time as problems arise.  Yet, due to their desire for the safety of group affiliation, most human society seeks to create an administrative state as their first primal instinct. We’ve built our entire education system, our political system, our businesses, just about everything we do around the maintenance of an administrative state.  America was formed by people trying to get away from the overregulation of an administrative state. At the same time, the rest of the world suffers under much less personal wealth because they have been slowed down too much by an administrative state and its massive, slow-moving bureaucracy.  When centralizing order, such as visiting the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, regulation gains are at the expense of freedom and innovation.  That is why we all hate going to the BMV.  They are slow and uncompetitive.  Yet to drive, we all have to go to them and wait in the long lines because the government does what government does to their time frame.  That is always why our public education system designed by people like John Dewey doesn’t work, and it will never work.  We are teaching people to be members of the administrative state when the trend of the world is to be more decentralized.  So what people most crave in the world, even if they aren’t consciously aware of it, is to function successfully in a decentralized state, whether in their places of business, their neighborhoods or even within their families.  And it is our modern task to teach them how to let go of the burdens of the administrative state and function more as individuals, making nations great, businesses profitable, and lives much, much better off.

‘Looking Backward’: Where the liberal snipers have been hiding

Finding the Snipers by Looking Backward

I talk about it all the time, but if you are new to all this and have been getting your news from more mainstream sources, well, maybe you didn’t know about the successive tyrants of the world, the World Economic Forum who recently announced their Great Narrative from Dubai.  That is, of course, the same group behind the Great Reset, which Covid was created to implement across the world to shut down all the world’s economies simultaneously.  Then to have a managed restart under the United Nations using climate change fake science to drive the need.  I was catching up on all the latest climate crises, United Nations propaganda, and Davos Great Narrative updates while playing the new Call of Duty: Vanguard.  I was on a specific mission where you had to cross a vast field with broken-up buildings off in the distance full of snipers.  You had to work with a teammate to draw out the sniper fire, determine which windows the snipers were in, and quickly shoot them to advance.  I couldn’t help but see the parallels to what I was listening to.  The political left has kept themselves concealed in darkness for a long time, forcing us to focus on their specific positions.  As we put our sniper scopes on them, they’d shoot us from a different place.  When we changed our priorities, they’d shoot us yet from somewhere else.  But I like to look at the whole battlefield and pay attention to all the muzzle flashes from the various snipers to see them as one big story.  And that’s what the Great Narrative revealed to me; it was essentially a word-for-word utopian update of the old Edward Bellamy book Looking Backward.  This time, climate change was the driver toward global socialism and communism, taking over government over private enterprise so that the state could justify the power grab.  Since people resisted the first attempt, which took over 100 years to try, the political left has now turned to climate change to drive the justification, and it is evident to anybody who had a mind to look at the big picture. 

Looking Backward was essentially a short evolutionary novel meant to soft-sell Karl Marx to America and was in 1888 the third most popular book behind Ben Hur.  There was a massive following for the socialist utopia that the book describes when the hero wakes up 130 years in the future after being put to sleep with hypnosis only to suffer an accident in the process.  When he finally wakes up, the world has evolved into a socialist utopia, complete with the state taking over ultimately the means of production. There is no crime, everyone is equal, and the government maintains that fairness at the expense of all else. It’s a fluffy sort of fiction that, looking forward, was every bit like science fiction as Star Wars. Still, the premise was intentionally real, and a considerable following erupted from 1888 to 1900.  It only ended because Bellamy had died, and the movement took on a new shape.  But it’s a period of history that hides behind other things like the Civil War, the invention of the airplane, the electric bulb. The Model T. It’s a socialist movement that completely infected our education system at all levels, starting with John Dewey, who designed our public education system around the premise of Bellamy’s book.  So this wasn’t some fringe movement, it was the evolution of Karl Marx right in front of our faces, and it happened at the turn of the century.  What evolved after it became the stuff of nightmares, the creation of the Federal Reserve, the centralized control of money, progressive taxation, the big government politics that would lead to the New Deal.  The attempts at creating the League of Nations, then finally the United Nations.  It all started with that little book that replaced the gunfighters of western expansion and the liberalized easterner’ desire to assimilate the new nation’s success. 

People called these strange new socialist lovers “elite” because, at the time, they were the ones who were in our education system and teaching us.  They were the education system, the professors of our colleges, and they were our intellectual guides in a time when many people still couldn’t read.  Because many who founded America as a new country were suffering from an inferiority complex with Europe, these socialist lovers had the ear of many people we trusted to teach us things we didn’t know due to our lack of culture and history.  We didn’t know that much of what they were teaching were things we didn’t want or need to know.  We just knew they knew something we didn’t, so our society listened to them.  This went on for several decades, getting worse and worse over time.  As communism took over in the Soviet Union in 1917, then socialism moved into the collapsed German government with Hitler in the 1930s. China with a total communist takeover in 1949, Cuba in the 1950s, then Iran in the 1970s, the long march of global domination of communism has been moving along at a predictable pace.  Liberals in America’s own government were always sympathetic. They sought to teach Americans the ways of socialism and communism in our public schools and colleges the entire time, so there is a bit of socialism in just about everyone these days.  And always, the turn toward communism was through financial pressure and forcible military conquest.  That is certainly the case in Germany, where their financial system completely collapsed after World War I, and China after fighting in World War II.   The same playbook was at work on America now in 2020, and if you know how to sniff out the snipers to see where they are shooting from, you can see what’s been happening quickly.  I read the book that they are still following almost verbatim.

Of course, there are flaws to this plan that these losers have never worked out.  They don’t understand where socialism went wrong from its beginning plans, which Bellamy never figured out.  The failure of these so-called elites is that they assumed that if the world’s governments could unite and issue fairness, they could take over all industries and never miss a beat.  But that’s not what’s happening. Instead, all the flaws from the beginning all the socialist academics were in love with were never resolved.  The Bellamy novel was fiction at best when it first was shown to the public.  Because it appealed to the below-the-line people out in the world, they ignored that socialism defied the essence of human need.  It was a fantasy written by the mind of a child, and it had migrated into a governing force that still insists on trying it over and over again, even though it never worked.  These educated elite have shown themselves not to be very smart.  We gave them the benefit of the doubt looking forward, but looking backward, as the book suggests, they had it wrong from the beginning, and they never had a chance ever to get it right.  Yet that is the very premise of the Davos crowd of the World Economic Forum people.  They are as lost as they ever were, and they, in their most profound thoughts, want to rule the world as all tyrants have over the many centuries of warfare.  And they expect America to fall like all the other places in the world have, especially since they’ve spent over a century building the momentum.  But I would argue that we see where they are shooting from now, we know where their snipers are, and we can win this game now that they are exposed.  They may have hidden that book, Looking Backward, from history, but they can’t hide the result.  It’s time to pay, and the evidence points to a bad day for all of them.

The History of Communist Attack in America: We are most vulnerable where we work, and they always knew it

They Attacked Through Where we Work

It’s not just Karl Marx around the 1850s who launched the idea of communism globally, but more popularly, the novel, Looking Backward: 2000 – 1887, which came out in 1888, which provided the battleground playbook for the next century.  The goal was to destroy, to stop the culmination which was evident in the world during the 1840s where America was growing in frightening ways away from the homeland of Europe, and the losers of the old world wanted to cripple that growth.  So they attacked Capitalism because it threatened to grow away from their control.  Historical context must be considered to understand.  Not only did England lose the colonies to rebels in 1776, but they were also defeated a few years later in the War of 1812.  When the Spanish American War failed to stop the growth of America but instead expanded it rapidly, the world worried that it was growing too fast for them to compete with.  Thus came the government-backed works of Karl Marx, long after his death, to stop Capitalism from growing western cultures, and that attack vector would proceed for the next 150 years.  Of course, we had an internal war, the Civil War, to destroy what was left of European aristocracy, which the American South, specifically Democrats, deeply craved within the institution of slavery.  Republicans ended slavery, then off where the shackles toward Manifest Destiny.  World War I was a created war hoping to make a League of Nations in the aftermath.  Americans rejected the idea of such an arranged marriage with Europe.  So they tried another war, World War II.  After that war and the gross atrocities meant to end all wars, Americans finally signed up for the United Nations.  We had more wars fighting communist ideas worldwide but were tethered to this United Nations concept which greatly limited the scope of success.  As we were distracted by these wars, the United Nations promoted globalism and corporate expansion, and thus, entered into the legislative lives of our great American companies.  By this method, they intended to destroy America once and for all because all their previous attempts had failed so badly. 

MANY WERE PERPLEXED when I was writing my most recent book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business.  I was an expert Lean practitioner who knew all kinds of inside business tricks that many found extremely useful.  They didn’t understand why I wasn’t just cashing in like everyone else was and making a lot of money off being a consultant and letting the world go where it would go, oblivious to the direction.  I would say that the next attack on American sovereignty was coming from our companies and that I wanted to stop that from happening.  Of course, I would get eye rolls and charges of mass conspiracy. “From whom,” they would ask as if baiting the question for a laughing response.  But I had seen the attack vector and was a frequent target all through my adult life, sometimes in ways that are preposterously crushing.  I was a target of cancel culture well before anybody had a name for it. Indeed, before, there was a Donald Trump in politics.  But I had read all the books, and I understood the motivations of the political left, which were measured in European centuries rather than American decades.  And this was how they were sliding their attempts of communism under the doors.  They weren’t planning to fight us with guns and troops.  America had more guns than any nation in the world; that would be a stupid idea.  Instead, they planned to attack us through our human resource departments, crush us with rules and regulations, and get us to commit economic suicide, all in the name of compliance.  I planned to write a strategy guide for people to defend themselves from that kind of attack, which has turned out to be right on the mark. 

I would have been met with extreme scrutiny if I had said all this even a year ago.  I certainly had that reaction from my publishers. But the Biden administration has shown their cards, and their Covid vaccine mandates have led to what I have said to be true.  The fight of our times would not be in the streets and fields of the world on battlefields of orthodox.  It would not be an individualized fight. Instead, this new kind of war would be in where we make our livings.   Our domestic economies would be attacked, and our means to an income.   That is how to make a mass of people capitulate and take away their means to make a living.  Take the food off their table and their ability to even make a family.  That is the ultimate goal of the global communists, which set their intentions in apparent motion in 1958’s The Naked Communist, which I have covered extensively over the years.  But even then, the attack was well in action.  In her many books, Ayn Rand tried to warn everyone about these plots, most notably The Fountainhead in 1943 (right in the middle of World War II) then Atlas Shrugged in 1957.  For people who don’t read a lot of books, they likely wouldn’t have noticed.  Much of academia was in love with the socialist book Looking Backward, which became the source of why our modern media is mostly all in on the game.  They all want the same thing, the end of America and the birth of a state under the socialist United Nations.  It would be easy to miss all the clues unless you read a lot of books. 

My point was to set my book before this socialist/communist incursion, to the point in time where Capitalism was working and doing great things not just for America, but the world at large.  And if any company wanted to be profitable, it had to fight off these globalist ties to their board of directors and CEOs.  Because the first thing any company must do if it wants to be profitable and productive is to get independence from the world’s aggressions.  The fight for freedom is not with individual people this time.  We already have our independence represented in our Bill of Rights and various constitutions.  No, what we need now is a declaration of independence for our companies and set free corporate America to share our individual independence with the places we utilize to make our livings.  In this long military history of communist thought, they attacked where we were most vulnerable.  They didn’t come in the front door where we had dozens of guns pointed at them, but through the back where our companies had rules against guns and self-defense to provide a “safe” work environment for others.  It is in our corporate charters that communism was slid into our American culture, and the gains of the many outweighed the needs of the independent.  And that is how wokeism was born in our nation and then used to do what the nations of the world couldn’t do, attack American Capitalism and force companies to bend the knee to the fear of mass protests and revolts as Karl Marx had outlined.  And in that way, the vast evil of communism could be unleashed to the world and united under the United Nations in ways all the previous wars of the world couldn’t have ever imagined.  The book I wrote helps teach people how to stop that process.

Herbie was a Communist: Learning how our corporations in America were taken over by the United Nations

Herbie was a Communist

I had to write the book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business because I had read hundreds of self-help books and books on business strategy, administration, and process improvement, and they were all wrong in some little way.  Wrong is, of course, a point of view, but when we wonder why our companies have become so “woke,” we must understand why.  We must understand why the Chamber of Commerce types are so bent toward the United Nations and not the United States, and we must know how we arrived where we are, how to get out of it, and toward more of an America First policy.  One of the most important books that are most popular among process improvement consultants in business is called The Goal.  If you go into the office of most business consultants, you will find it in their libraries. It’s been out since the 1980s and has paralleled the Lean Manufacturing methods that have migrated out of Toyota Management Processes and TQCs and all kinds of Eastern business philosophy acronyms.  Through a combination of The Goal, and books like The Machine that Changed the World, which evolved out of Deming consulting in Japan, Americans have been tricked into going against their nature of innovation and aggression as a capitalist enterprise.  Out of a United Nations desire for accepting global commerce, global supply chains, and global thinking, these methods have been introduced to American business for all kinds of strictly political reasons.  Because of that trend, I felt there needed to be an American answer.  I have been teaching the methods talked about in all these books for over three decades, and given where the world is today, its time to point out the flaws in the thinking and assert ourselves in western civilization toward the objectives of retaking the leadership role in the world, from an America First perspective.

I enjoy The Goal; it is an excellent thought experiment for managers looking to improve their processes.  It can work fine if the only other alternative is chaos.  From my perspective, and this has always been my opinion of the work, it was a soft sell of communism to the corporate world from the author selling capitalism but functioning as a Marx-driven radical.  So, it’s no surprise that executives who read the book and study it in detail think they are performing as profit-driven capitalists. They are drooling communists tricked into a global conspiracy based on their lack of knowledge of history and global intentions.  The Goal is all about solving plant-wide manufacturing problems, but in essence, it’s about Constraint Theory, knowing your constraints, and working within those limits toward ultimate efficiency.  I have a radically different view of Constraint Theory than most everyone else in the world, especially people who practice consulting primarily because they don’t understand the essence of what a “constraint” is or what the history of acquiring it was. 

In The Goal, we are told a story about a bunch of Boy Scouts hiking a 10-mile trail, and among them is an overweight kid struggling to keep up with the others by the name of Herbie.  The story’s theme is that all the other hikers need to realize that Herbie is their constraint and that they should have been measuring what they can do as a group based on what Herbie could do. Otherwise, they were supposed to bend their processes to the limits of their weakest link.  So it is said in business, figure out who your “Herbie” is, and you’ll understand your actual capacity.  Well, this has always bothered me.  My way of dealing with the “Herbies” of life is to tell him to lose weight or find someone faster and more robust than he is to do the job.  But you see, what is taught in corporate politics is that Herbie isn’t to be discriminated against.  There are all kinds of woke rules to protect people like Herbie from being pushed out of their comfort zone.  Labor unions particularly seek out to employ people like Herbie, natural constraints that slow down a process.  Never is the emphasis on speeding something up.  So, by default, when corporate leaders read books like The Goal and The Machine that Changed the World, they believe that they are in the business of managing their constraints in diminishing increments.  Not to seek to improve those constraints.  But to live with them.

In a roundabout way, the government has brought communism into our corporate cultures in this way then used that compliance culture to attack our Constitutional parameters for which a society functions.  All “at will” employment thus falls under some form of communist control that we all accept in increments because most of us must work somewhere, and as we do, we lower our guard to these subtle attacks on our way of government on the front end.  Then in corporate culture, instead of hiring managers to improve the Herbies of the world, we hire managers and CEOs to mitigate against the compliance mandates that government imposes on us through excessive rules and regulations.  Now you can see why the Chamber of Commerce organizations across America were against any vaccine freedoms for individuals.  They wish to protect an organization’s ability to defend themselves from more government compliance by backdooring the American Constitution through a company’s HR department.  What makes my book different from all other books on this subject matter is that I specifically deal with these kinds of challenges because nobody I have read has ever gone to these levels of thinking on the issue.  It’s one thing to identify your constraints and, in using Lean Manufacturing, getting everyone in an organization to understand what reality is.  But in The Goal, determining reality is accepting that Herbie is an overweight kid who has a hard time walking 10 miles on a hike.  But my attitude is that Herbie needs to lose the weight to keep up with the other kids on that hike.  The faster kids who can walk the 10 miles should not be penalized.  That is why The Goal is communist propaganda, whether it was intended to be or not. 

Nobody, especially most Chambers of Commerce, wants to think of themselves as communists.  They think of communists as authoritarian overlords in a military uniform in some broke Central American countries or failed Russia.  But the way the work of Karl Marx drove communism survived into this new age remix was to appear as a capitalist boon but to use the mask of global trade and global partnerships to spread communism around the world, as they had always planned.  Just change the name of communism to capitalism and make it appear that the effort was to increase profits, not to hinder productivity by giving the means of production over to the government to control. You have your modern scam unfolded before you.  And I intend to show people how to get out of that mess.  It’s not easy to change the culture of something so embedded in our thoughts and actions.  But that’s what The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business does.  The Herbie story is just the tip of the iceberg.   It goes much deeper than what we’ve talked about here.  But it’s a start.

Progressives Think Destroying Anglo Saxons will Save the World: They are of course wrong, dumb, and out of their minds

Anglo Saxons are Not The Answer

I suppose the positive thing about the chaos of 2021 where an extended planned communist plot infiltrated into the American government, unleashed all their schemes in an all-out revolution against capitalism is that we can now discuss the matter without a banner of conspiracy theory.  Being able to talk openly about these things is incredibly liberating.  I always have, but now the fundamental definitions for something are more evident to others who previously weren’t inclined.  And I can say this with certainty: the communists’ plan for America will fail because they don’t understand what they are doing or why they are doing it.  Academia is simply using the playbook of several communist insurgents from the past. Still, they never dealt with the root cause of communism and capitalism or understood why people did what they did with them.  Instead, historically, communism was created to break up the class system of Europe, which had been mired in royalty and church politics for centuries.  Communism was meant to bring those institutions down from the poor and lazy mind of Karl Marx.  Meanwhile, while Marx was selling his communist ideas to the sorry lots of people in Europe who never in their lives had ever tasted a hint of freedom from government and religion, in America, the gunfighters were paving the way West in an expansion effort that gave birth to a new nation.  And it was there that capitalism showed its true potential away from the jealous minds of the tyrannical dictators of the world’s economies. 

The fatal flaw of all communists and socialists, which was revealed in a 2015 Joe Biden discussion about open border policies which he is now pushing as planned, is that the world intends to drown out the Anglo Saxon in the world, especially in America because it is believed that capitalism is their creation and that by destroying the Anglo, that capitalism will die.  So the purpose of open borders wherever they occur is to shift people from communist countries and socialist places into areas controlled by traditional Anglo Saxons and smother capitalism wherever it was born and practiced.  And that, in essence, is what all the progressive insurgents think they are doing in America with open borders.  What is amazing about this belief is that highly educated people with double Masters’ and even Doctorates will swear by this strategy.  I mean, who could blame them, they were taught all their lives that these are the value systems of society, so of course, that was the key to the future.   Well, I’m here to say that everyone who thinks such things, which is millions and millions and millions of people, are all wrong.  The Anglo Saxon is just a consumer of capitalism.  Capitalism exists whether or not Anglo Saxons exist.  In truth, if there were no “white” people in America, America would still live, and capitalism would still be the dominant means of building economies.  Communism will never last or flourish, even if they achieve their goal of only having communism as a choice. Here’s why.

In my book The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, I tell the story of freedom starting with Egypt and the Indus Valley in India and evolving to the plains of the Wild West, where shootouts with bad guys led to the greatest nation the world has ever known.  And along that story comes a critical juncture where the real Pirates of the Caribbean created the first democracies ever made.  On a pirate ship, English people fought with freed slaves and Spanish adventurers.  They had Frenchmen on their vessels, they empowered women, they all worked together for the first time toward the common goal of robbing shipping vessels of institutional countries, and it was there that a government of freedom was born.  Without pirates, there never would have been a Revolution for America, nor would America have ever become a country.  Being Anglo Saxon had nothing to do with it; instead, it took rebels from Anglo Saxon culture to recognize the world’s problems and offer their solution, empowering all individuals of all colors and sexes. 

I know this topic well; I associate with many hundreds of people every week from all over the world.  And you know what, many of them are more American than the people I know from Appalachian culture.  Every time I hear a liberal yacking on about racism, and white power, they indicate that they have no idea what makes America Great or what fuels capitalism in general.  They are simply reciting what they were taught in their liberal colleges and never question whether or not those things were correct.  Well, I can say that every bit of what they learned was wrong, and they often spend the rest of their lives trying to justify their ignorance by ignoring the facts.  People will not go back into the authoritarian bottle that we all escaped from in Europe and Asia.  People fled to America to get away from where they were, and for a reason.  And I would propose that the great conflict of ideas that we see today is that collision happening simply because the world has shrunk to the point where the inevitable conflict was bound to occur.  From my experience, I would say that many immigrants coming from other places to America want what America has. If they must adopt capitalism to get there, they’ll assume it in a second.  Capitalism was invented to allow individuals, not governments or races of people, to thrive.  That may have been Karl Marx’s belief that capitalism in Europe only separated class structure.  But in America, the class was not a consideration.  If you could make money, you could have anything, and that freedom fueled the power of the greatest country ever to evolve out of a human mind. 

That is why the communists and socialists will lose this current fight because everything they are doing is rooted in ignorance from a failed philosophy rooted in Old World politics.  What made pirates invent democracy on their ships was a trajectory of human invention that was bound to discover eventually.  Power grabbers, just as the Blue State governors in America did over Covid, held tight their reigns of power for centuries in Egypt, Rome, England, the Roman Catholic Church, the Dynasties of China, everywhere because they feared that people might figure out that they didn’t need them.  The modern liberal wants more than anything to return to those times, but that is not the mind of humanity.  Humanity wants to be left alone and to make a life for themselves without such intrusions.  And it is that which the progressive insurgents are fighting.  They aren’t fighting some ancient concept of race relations, but the inclination of all humankind, the need to be free to live, love, and be productive for their desires.  Not the wishes of a centralized government.  Now that the Biden administration has shown its intentions, people will rebel.  Many were willing to give him an honest chance even though people like me were warning against it.  But now they can see for themselves, and they won’t be fooled again.  The old tactics are not effective ultimately because the driver of capitalism is not genetics. It’s a desire from everyone from everywhere to live free of a boss and enjoy existence for all the opportunities it can provide.

Lebanon Schools Shut Down Over Covid: Using ‘How to Lie with Statistics’ to drive a climate change agenda with health worries as an excuse

It didn’t take long for all the Cincinnati government schools to impose mask mandates, even though there is absolutely no scientific need for them to do so.  This is what happens when government corrupts science for the desire of social control.  The government, in general, is so lazy that they are always inspired to make mountains out of molehills which paves the way for a more leisurely day at the office for them.  Government workers are some of the laziest people in the world, and anything they can do to make their jobs easier, they will certainly do.  So it was a perfect trap for the government schools such as Lebanon, Ohio, Monroe, Lakota, and several others to impose compliance masks on the students to reduce their liability to the inaccurate measurement of severity regarding Covid.  It’s what I have been saying all along.  Bill Gates loves the book How to Lie with Statistics. That is what they used in Lebanon, Ohio when they quarantined over 1000 students due to covid, then used that incident to panic parents and school board members into runaway cases of Covid fueled by the media.  Lebanon City Schools ended up shutting down entirely due to the panic since so many kids were out of the schools because essentially, the health guidelines were so ridiculous that nobody could continue to operate due to the CDC-recommended quarantine period of 14 days.  It didn’t matter how severe those cases were, only that with the mandate by the government schools to enforce ridiculous policies created by the book, How to Lie with Statistics, schools felt they had to do something to show some concern in managing a made-up statistic.  Health action by case counts instead of the actual severity of the virus. 

Nothing scientific says that what the CDC came up with in recommending 14 days to contain the Covid virus is effective or even necessary. I’ve covered this topic a lot; all the best methods of managing a virus of any kind are with ultraviolet light, such as UVC.  The washing of hands and the sanitizing processes are excellent but not all that effective in a mass area where many dirty people are touching doors, toilets, and sink handles.  The idea of containment in quarantine by the CDC has more to do with harming the American economy from the socialists in government who want full-blown Chinese communism in America.  They want to see the lost time work, the panic in the schools, and a narrative to cover up all the government’s crimes in abuse of their roles of authority.  If they wanted to solve Covid, they could be utilizing many options, including lots of available medicine.  But that isn’t the goal; the government always intended to use Covid to control mass society, and schools for them, which they control, is a good place to hit the panic button and impose arbitrary measurements to drive their plan for panic.  By pushing the kids out of class by counting cases, not actual danger levels of Covid, the government schools were able to apply alarm on the surrounding school boards to show that they were doing something to fight off an invisible menace.  That menace people could only see with mild cold symptoms that parents would have laughed at a few years ago.  But now, with the government abusing the CDC’s trust with the public, there are enough panicky parents and overly trusting people out there who want to believe that what our health departments say is trustworthy and worth their merit. 

But that’s why Bill Gates and other radicals like him like that book, How to Lie with Statistics.  It’s all about your measurements in statistics, in how you measure, or what.  It’s not always about the truth of the matter; in fact, it seldom is.  Convincing people that a logical method of managing Covid was to count cases then impose a 14-day quarantine would effectively force society to shut down and stay home.  The goal for these government radicals isn’t to stop the virus but to use the virus to drive our society toward a zero-emission world.  It’s ultimately all about climate change for these people and nothing more, breaking the patterns of work culture, driving to work, or driving kids to school, to get people to start thinking of staying home instead of starting up their car polluting the environment.  But even there, the measurements for global warming are done with the same math, the same How to Lie with Statistics method to evoke fear rather than logic.  We only have a few years or a decade to save the earth based on the voodoo accounting that no logical person would accept at face value.  But when you measure things like forest fires that haven’t been managed in California as a driver of climate change or hurricanes that hit the United States every September, then you see it’s not just Covid that the government and their employees are using to drive panic, to drive change from a capitalist country to a communist one, which they propose to run, but its everything that the government says and does which we cannot believe. 

The sad thing about Lebanon and the rest of the government schools in Cincinnati that are putting masks on kids are that they are playing the old trick of holding kids hostages to impose a social change.  It’s just like when it’s school levy time, and the government schools use faulty cost accounting to suggest that we have to raise taxes or our kids will grow up to be stupid.  The fear is that if we don’t pay teachers more money as the union demands, the teachers won’t do their jobs and teach our kids.  There are always a few dumb parents who fall for the scam and vote for more money to throw at the school to get educated.  In truth, all government measurements are proving to require scrutiny over everything they say.  Covid has been a bridge too far.  Some people will wear the masks and take the vaccine shot to shut up the government as they passively-aggressively fight back in other ways that undermine the government, then some people know better and refuse to do any of it.  For parents and the government’s need to make a point where governors of most states have lost their ability to shut down their economies this time, the government schools are the targets of radicalism.  Most people have kids or grandkids, and that is how the government can personalize Covid in a way that forces people to look at it.  Most people want to forget about Covid and to move on with their lives.  But the government had a taste of that power in shutting down a capitalist society. Due to their religion of climate change radicalism, they are turning to their old friend, How to Lie with Statistics, and using it to attack children so that they can get to the adults. 

There is nothing logical that says that quarantining students at Lebanon City Schools would do anything to help fight Covid because the measurement that the government schools are using is case counts.  A few years ago, nobody would have even thought twice about coming down with a virus or cold.  They would have gone to school.  Other kids would have gotten it and gotten over it.  If some people came down with a severe case, they might go to the hospital for treatment.  But we would have never thought for a second about shutting down anything for any amount of time, let alone 14 days of quarantine.  You see, this is that danger of letting the government have their way, and now they intend to abuse that trust that some people have in them.  Many others have lost their faith in government that will never be won back in the centuries to come.  But the radicals of climate change do not care.  For them, this is a do-or-die moment, and they have seen that people will budge a bit when they fear their health and safety are in danger.  But as to the reality of the Covid problem, it’s all made up science meant to use faulty statistics to change the world from capitalism to communism.  And it’s nothing less.

Biden Was Created to Represent America’s Demise in the World: China’s master plan

Biden is Just the Mask

Hey, I’ve been talking about this for a long time.  Many who have read here and have known me for the last twenty to thirty years, even longer, know that I am seldom, if ever, wrong.  Eventually, the things I say end up happening exactly as I said they would, and I’ve been doing it long enough to have a vast track record.  So, when I tell you that Afghanistan was a phony war meant to empower terrorists, to justify a global shift in power structures, you’ll understand that there is some merit to the statement.  As I said in the video above, you could fit the whole Taliban army into an American football stadium for the NFL.  Why didn’t we win the war?  Well, we weren’t allowed to, starting from the top.  Who is the top? Well, I’ve told you that too. It’s the people talked about in the book Tragedy & Hope, from Carroll Quigley.  They exist beyond the governments of our nations, they pour the money into building those governments, and they consider themselves beyond Constitutional laws, or any laws so far made by any legislative body, anywhere. It’s the precise reason people like George Soros are left to roam free instead of thrown in jail for all the tampering with the operation of the American republic that he has conducted.  In the end, his money runs our government and the media that acts as its mask against reality.  These forces built the Taliban to appear ominous, to scare us into accepting a global reality. Still, in truth, they are just a small group of people who could easily be beaten if anybody wanted to. 

When Joe Biden gave the speech when the Americans were killed at the Kabul airport by suicide bombers, he put his head in his hands, giving a picture that would show the world that the American Empire was falling, it looked to be a little too staged.  Old Biden was doing what “they” told him to, just as they had practiced it.  After all, like his wife, Dr. Biden, Joe cares about how the world will remember him, and he wanted to go down in history as an American President.  He would have done anything to get that title, including selling out himself ultimately to get it.  He was just the pick for China, which it will be revealed controlled the election process of 2020.  The set-up was years in the making, including setting up the dejected Russians to be the future fall guys.  By the time the actual election fraud would take place, people would be tired of the topic. They would ignore the power move China made with electronic voting machines to allow massive tampering and a coup of an American president.  China created and unleashed Covid to create a smokescreen of election fraud during 2020 and torpedo the American economy while China tried to repair itself after the Trump tariffs.  And they picked Joe Biden out of all the Democrats because he was an old broken man who represented the America that had been.  China and the rest of the Davos crowd meant to put Biden in power, remove Trump, and sell America’s decline to the rest of the world.  And that’s how Biden ended up with his head in his hands the day those Americans died in Kabul.  It was a staged event from the start, and Biden was playing his part. 

That’s the thing that everyone is having a hard time with getting their minds around.  We have a corrupt government in America that became that way because we trusted all the wrong people too much.  The vaccine mandates likely have a more menacing future as planned, but for the present, it’s all about Big Pharma buying government to push their products the way they always intended Obamacare to do.  The chaos of the news cycles is meant to hide from our minds the criminal conduct of governments across the world into trying to unite all power under communist China. They’ve said as much themselves; it was our fault that we didn’t listen.  And they showed that power off by sabotaging our election and watching us act like fools crying about the Constitution while our country was burning to the ground looking for some lawmaker somewhere to sweep in like Superman and save the day.  Only this was real life, we’d have to do it ourselves, but China bet everything that we wouldn’t.  They put in place the weakest of all the presidential candidates in Biden, a feeble old man that represented America to the world.  Old, a fading memory, bumbling, falling, a mockery of disrespect.  And they showed that they could push out a real tough guy in Trump and that the American vote didn’t matter in the least.  It was all part of the plan.  Biden was put in power by foreign interests; the evidence was on the Hunter Biden laptop.  People have seen that evidence, but the people who saw it were attacked rather than be allowed to expose it.  We are dealing with unimaginable evil here, which is beyond the capacity of most people.  Yet, it’s right in front of our faces.  Biden was made, and he’s sold to the world to represent the end of a dying country.  Once that is established, China will be free to make its power move and rule the world.  They intend to use Biden to start that process. 

Just remember, the whole trouble with the Taliban and all the military equipment left there in haste to arm them, just as we did with ISIS in the Middle East, was to fuel destabilization where another world power could fill the vacuum.  China plans to be that force, and Biden did precisely what they told him to do.  Oh, it wasn’t China directly, but it was the communists who are so in love with Mao in the Biden administration who took the next page of Mao’s Little Red Book and wrote the next Biden speech.  Of course, Biden was too stupid to ask questions. That’s another reason they picked him.  While everyone thinks that Biden is the leader of the free world, China knows better.  So do the communists in the Biden administration, like Susan Rice and Jim Comey working from the shadows as an influence leader in the intelligence community.  Of course, they didn’t like Trump; he was working on our behalf to stop all these plans.  But they wanted more than anything to show us that they were in charge and were going to stay that way.  They wanted us to feel hopeless and to give up.  To rob us of our belief in self-government.

Meanwhile, they have been pouring tragedy after tragedy on us, hoping to overload us into just tapping out forever and to surrender our republic to the forces of the world that have always been jealous of it.  It wasn’t like 70,000 Taliban would have been easy to beat if we fought all these things directly; we have more than enough freedom fighters to take back our country.  But because we remain caged and obedient, arguing about wearing a mask and threatening to kill pushers of the mandatory vaccine, the real villains work in the world unencumbered.  And as long as they enjoy that freedom, the world will continue to burn.  It won’t be enough to re-elect Trump to office.  No, we’ll have to help this time, and we’ll have to be involved in the fight.  Just remember, I told you so.  The sooner we act, the better it will go.

China Limits Kids to 3 Hours of Video Game Play Per Week: A preview of what they want to do with everything

China’s Controls are just the Start

The deeper we get into the idiocy of the Biden presidency, we find that we’re not just talking about simple disagreements on philosophy and social endurance, but in subversion by a smiling enemy that intends to kill us completely and rob the wealth of our country under the weight of our own assumed guilt.  We should have never let China have the leverage they have over us today, to have the power they presume to use in destroying us from the inside out by turning many of our people against the ideas of America to blow on the fires to make it happen.  They say they want peace, and we are to assume that all the United Nations relationships established after the two World Wars were meant to entangle us all diplomatically.  But all it entailed was to tie up America with red tape while the jealous world of yesteryear and the communists of China could attack us without defense, which is what they have been doing.  Now we are so entangled with each other that it’s nearly impossible to have an outright war.  So that has left us with a worse Cold War mentality where deception and chaos have replaced the cold shoulders.  Now, we see a different strategy, and you can see it not by what China says but by what they do. 

You might have heard that China has cut down their under 18 kids to only 3 hours of video games per week, 1 hour on Friday, 1 hour on Saturday, and 1 hour on Sunday.  If they are good boys and girls, kids might play video games on national holidays, for a little bit.  Instead of playing video games, the kids are supposed to train their minds to be soldiers of the state and educate themselves for sacrifice to China and live and die for the party in power.  And that party wants to rule the world.  They have their fingers all over the Biden administration and several American politicians that have paved the way for the kind of censorship that China is used to, which Google helped them build.  Suppose they don’t like what you do in the world. In that case, they will turn you off from social interaction because the tech companies doing China’s bidding have steered our society to a completely online society.  By doing this, they control what you do and when you do it.  This is how they plan to keep kids from playing video games by monitoring their time spent on the games, and when they hit that hour, they can switch the kids off. 

We’ve seen it in the United States, especially with Twitter and Facebook.  That infrastructure is already in place, and they would like to push Americans into the same kind of centrally managed society.  How about that, kids? Do you still want to be communists, like your government school teachers have taught you?  Forget about playing Call of Duty for 20 straight hours on a Thursday night.  How about all the video game companies who have sold America out with wokeness to tap into the 1.4 billion people who reside in China.  And the movie companies like Disney have thrown out Uncle Walt’s values which built the company to give up on the American Dream and steer everything to that new Chinese demographic.  Of course, the Chinese told you, dumbasses, that they’d be fair and would work with you.  They wanted to lure your big dollars and company values to their trap.  The NBA has already fallen into it.  So has Nike.  Many have; most big companies have been headed there for years.  I warned everyone decades ago.  But nobody listened, and now you see the cost.  And you can see to what level of social control they intend for us all.  Covid was meant to train us for this new communist thought, just as they are doing with the video game industry.  3 hours per week. 

One of my daughters used to be a Gamestop manager, and we had long discussions about this trend a decade ago to move toward complete online gaming.  My wife and I had the same discussions when she wanted to take my years of National Geographic books and magazines and get rid of them going to online versions instead.  I reminded her and everyone else along the way what I said then that games, entertainment, and hard copies of books would always be valuable.  When you read a book or watch a DVD movie, or listen to a CD copy of music, you are detached from the controls of a centralized authority.  They can’t see what you are reading or for how long.  They don’t count your keyboard punches to feed an A.I. watching your every move and analyzing what you plan to do next.  You are private and disconnected from “them.” When video games moved from hard copies and complete online support, they lost control of their content.  Now governments could intrude.  They have let us play and get used to this new way of doing things.  But now, they think they can get away with making their power move, which they are currently doing in China.  It’s not the people of China who are the suckers; it’s the tech people who played nice, adopted the wokeness in exchange for market share, then had the rug pulled out from under them with the simple wiping of a hand giving a dictate from the communist party. 

There is a catch to all the digital streaming services, to the Apple music hosting that has gotten rid of all hard copies of music you might own.  Now you must rent your music from them for a monthly fee.  And if you are a bad little boy or girl, they could cut your account off in a second, and you won’t have any iTunes in your car to listen to.  The kind of world that American Democrats want is what they have in China, where they decide what you do when you do it and for how long.  And if they don’t like you, if you are part of an opposition party, they can cut you off of everything because they have managed to put everything online where a centralized government can regulate it.  My wife and I had that same recurring conversation just the other day at Costco, where I was buying up a bunch of new books that they had just brought out.  I told her that books would always have value.  I can read those books I was buying anywhere in the world.  I didn’t need electricity to use them, and they weren’t connected to any government for control.  And I see that as ultimate freedom.

The way to beat these oppressive governments in China and those licking their heels like the Democrats are in America is to get off their grid.  Get out of their schools.  Get away from their entertainment.  Get away from their medical industry, for which Covid has given everyone all the proof they need.  Disconnect from their control and make them blind. Don’t allow them to turn you off playing a video game after 1 hour of play, or what day of the week you play it.  Turn away from their controls and get back to the basics for which they have no control.  And then, and only then, can you have any hope of truly being free.

Mike Lindell’s Cyber Symposium: The race to communism

The Race to Communism

It’s happening on Frank Speech.com on the 10th, 11th, and 12th of the first week of August 2021, the Cyber Symposium that shows clearly there are founded questions about the 2020 election that at least casts doubt on the results.  I would offer professionally that Mike Lindell will show vast voter fraud that stole the election away from the people’s pick in Donald Trump.  Instead, they gave us a phony corporate shill in Joe Biden, a rubber stamp selling machine that seeks to trade American sovereignty into global unity.   I always say, don’t listen to what people say because people, for the most part, will lie and say anything out of self-preservation.  But always pay attention to what they do, such as the CNN hit piece against Lindell ahead of the Symposium where they always preface this story as “false claims” without having any idea if there are actual claims.  And to always point to their support foundation of “election officials” as the arbiters of truth because they are the experts in the matter.  Just like Dr. Fauci, who has been caught funding gain of function in Wuhan with communist China cooperation and millions of dollars of funding from the NIH, we are all expected to accept what “experts” say without paying any attention to what they do.  The election officials of 2020 in the controversial areas in question got caught rubber-stamping the results as they do in every election, and they weren’t prepared for a challenge. Now they are all involved in a cover-up of their guilt.  That is what the smart money says happened, and the proof is coming out. That’s the point of Lindell’s Cyber Symposium, after all.   As CNN noted, they hired nine cybersecurity experts to poke holes in Lindell’s theory.  But remember, Lindell is offering 5 million dollars to anyone who can prove him wrong.   Wait and see if any of these nine experts go to the Symposium to collect.  Of course, they won’t, because what they say is not the same as what they do.   CNN inspired them to say Lindell was crazy.  But they didn’t pay them 5 million dollars.  Mike Lindell is, and do you think a single critic will go collect the money?   There is your proof in Lindell’s favor.

The great race presently was mentioned on that CNN piece.  The fear that the insurgent side has, which is the radical progressive left, the corporate soothsayers who have bet their company’s futures on the Chinese domination of America, and the international globalists who have always been jealous of America, is that American voters will lose faith in the election system and of the institution of government itself.  Should that happen, which I would say for many people has already occurred, the ability to scam the public, in general, will be lost, and terrible conflict will follow.  That is why CNN and other news organizations from the outset claimed that any reference to election fraud was “false” and “without proof.” Because they couldn’t afford for America to lose faith in its elections, but after what they did to Trump over the last four years, and how they did not rally behind a popularly elected president, that hypocrisy will always live with them.  They are guilty and forever will be of taking those first shots in this new Civil War.  They will never be able to put Humpty Dumpty back together again because it was they who pushed him off to break into thousands of pieces, to begin with.  Harassing Mike Lindell from putting his money behind uncovering voter fraud will only push people further toward Lindell and the eventual truth of the matter.  And that is the race that the left is engaged in.  They know that it’s coming.  Right now, it’s a portion of Trump supporters, roughly 30% of the country.  But when that number increases over 50%, which is happening now, the real danger begins for the established order. They hope that Covid, mask mandates, and lockdowns might push people into socialism. The acceptance of centralized authority functioning with complete control might occur before people get so angry that politics will change forever.

And that’s what I referenced in the video above, the gulf between people like you and I who are always out front on these issues, sometimes by decades, and the mainstream blue pill types who are always slow to come to the realizations.  It is hard for many people to realize that there is so much corruption because acknowledging that requires them to do something.  And they don’t have time or energy to do anything about that.  Most people are raising kids, dealing with elderly parents, illnesses of their own.  People all work somewhere or want to be.  Then there are lots of video games to play, lots of shows to watch on streaming services, television cable, going out to eat.  There are many things to think about; nobody has much room to think about a corrupt criminal government.  And that’s why so many criminals became involved in government because they knew they could get away with crimes, and nobody would notice.  The reporters these days are lazy; they want to get their 400-word articles done as quickly as possible.  The TV people say what writers tell them to, and everyone is just going along to get along, so there hasn’t been a check on the system for years.  Of course, there was election fraud.  There always is.  The difference this time was that the political left panicked when Trump got over 70 million votes despite everything that was done to stop Trump.  So on election night, many political factions committed fraud without coordinating well with each other, and they ended up stepping through the wet paint they had painted themselves in the corner with.  And we can see the footprints going off in lots of directions.  Some of the cheating was cybercrime from China.  Some of it was the mail-in ballots.  The dead people.  The wrong paper.  Some were suppression polls, such as calling Arizona early while people were still in line voting.  The election fraud came from many panicked activists who threw a hail-marry for the end zone late on election night after the Vegas odds had called the election for Trump.  The election officials, some of who were Trump-hating Republicans whose own financial interests had been compromised, and in their laziness of being caught rubber stamping, found themselves in the middle of a controversy none of them were prepared for.  After all, nobody ever checks election results.  America always accepts them, until this time resulting in nobody knowing what to do.   But it was CNN and many others on the left who opened the door to election integrity.  They were the first to pull the bricks out of the wall that is now coming down. 

Everyone knows the story is getting out, and the mainstreamers are starting to question things.   That is the race to implement massive socialism, and even communism in America before a majority of the people wake up enough to do something about it.  For the Trump voters, they already did something about it when they voted for Trump.  I went over this past weekend to a funeral in Southern Indiana, and let me tell you how many Trump flags I saw lined along people’s property.  I stopped counting at 200, and there were many more than that.  People get it.  Lots of people get it and are fully awake.  It’s not Mike Lindell that CNN fears, and the government in general. He’s just a guy putting his money where his mouth is.  Mike knows; that’s why he’s paying 5 million dollars to anyone who can prove him wrong.  But what CNN fears and the government of Biden does even more so is that people will figure all this out before converting America into an authoritarian state similar to China, Venezuela, or Cuba.  That is their only hope that they can delay the inevitable until they have complete control.  And that is the truth behind everything we see.  Just always remember, it’s what people do that matters.

Where to Get ‘The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business’: The Book Depository offers it at 10% off if anybody wants to flood Hong Kong’s streets with it to overthrow communism

Where to Get The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business

So far, my new book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, is doing what I wanted it to do; it has opened up a new kind of dialogue with my usual blog audience and expanded the message in ways that promote growth and hope. I’ve spent over a decade writing just about every day literally.  At this site, there are many thousands of articles that I have written for free that are good and relevant to the problems of our day.  But there is nothing like a book you can hold in your hand.  Many authors have published works about the opposition to our American Republic, such as Saul Alinsky, The Weather Underground, Antifa, and many others openly hostile to American life. People have read them as a recruiting mechanism toward the mess we see today.  Traditional Americans, I hesitate even to say conservatives, have not met the challenge for many reasons.  They looked at the insurrection possibilities more as a nuisance than anything, yet here we are.  These evil people have been vile, and now many of them are running our government.  And like a good sheriff from the days of the Wild West, we have to clean up our town, our country, and our very lives in ways we never thought we’d have to.  I wrote The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business as a purposeful strategy guide for undoing unprofitable enterprises in our political lives and our places of business.  At the foundations of productivity to preserve goodness and justice for all.  I will likely always write daily articles as I have, and I’ll do it because many people need to hear words of encouragement and some sense in a confusing and aggressive world.  But a book is different; when people buy it, they invest.  It has added value to them.  Then in reading it, there is the investment of time.  In the end, a book has a complete set of thoughts, from the beginning to the end.  A book projects a comprehensive view to behold and can direct the reader to a resolution, which is needed. The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business has been created as an option toward conceptual understanding.

The book doesn’t come out until August 28th of 2021. Still, just the initial links to booksellers such as Target, Barnes & Nobel, and The Book Depository have been encouraging. I’ve made many new friends from hopeful people looking for something just like The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business.   As I have been saying, this is a book I wanted to read.  At this point, I have read over 1000 books in my life.  And am well on my way toward the next thousand.  Yet, I have not seen a book like this one on strategy ever written.  I meant for it to be Western Civilization’s answer to Sun Tzu’s The Art of War which we haven’t seen in 2500 years.  So when the question is asked, why me and why this book?  It’s because I got tired of waiting for someone else to write a book like this, and nobody has.  And there are no plans to do so by anybody.

Many conservative writers are doing good work, but there appears to be none who are audacious enough to presume that they have the authority even to attempt such a book.  We would assume that such a book would come from some great war general or even a country’s president.  Yet, in truth, most of the best things in life come from those who reach for the stars and get burned along the way and are outside observers of any historical trajectory.  It has become clear that institutional assumptions and the products of their effort will never produce such an unusual perspective to defend Western Civilization’s capitalism properly and audaciously as needed.  It would have to come from a unique perspective to answer popular classics such as The Art of War and Japan’s Book of Five Rings.   It’s not in following the rules of publishing either that any such book could come to be; it takes in some cases breaking those rules because the rules have been limiting the thinking in the first place.

The publisher of The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business has been great to work with Liberty Hill, a division of Salem Publishing.  I went with them after the whole incident with Parler, where Amazon shut them off their server.  I had been considering publishing with Amazon because of their vast resources and reach, but what Parler taught us was that if we fall out of political alignment with a host of our work, we could find ourselves canceled out of existence.  So I changed course after that event and found the very conservative Liberty Hill publishers, which were terrific.  However, they have listed me as to booksellers as a conservative author. That’s true; I am a very conservative author.  But I have already seen a stigma directed at me on search engines and product placement.  For instance, because Amazon is a bookseller, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business is listed for sale.  Yet the Kindle version, which is available now, is listed on a different page than the print edition, out on August 28th.   Usually, all editions of a book are listed on the same page.  Little things like that will impact the buying experience where a purchaser may have to decide between a digital version and a print edition.  But the way Amazon listed it, they may not know they have a choice.   The book is available anywhere books are sold, so I’m not going to get hung up on little things like that. Still, it is an indication that wherever the marketplace can be manipulated against a conservative author, you can bet that some activists working for these companies will certainly do so.  It shouldn’t be a surprise, but rather, it should be expected. 

So far, the best price for the print edition has been coming from The Book Depository, which is offering it at a 10% discount off the usual price.  The Book Depository is selling The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business at $15.21 for the print edition.  There are also Nook versions of the book as well as offerings at iBook in a digital format.  We may do an audible version at some point, but the book itself should be different from what we do on the blog site.  The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business is meant to hold in your hands.  It’s also meant to be divorced from the internet, meaning that the relationship for big brother is removed from reading it. It’s a book that some mass investor may want to buy and dump into the streets of Hong Kong or Cuba to teach them how to overthrow their communist regimes, much the way communists have flooded colleges and regions of activism with The Coming Insurrection and Rules for Radicals. It would be good about now to flip that script.  There is nothing like a book you can hold in your hand or stick in your pocket to read at the small hours of the morning over coffee and pancakes somewhere to refer to when the strength of the day has worn away, and a freedom fighter needs some encouragement.  Honk Kong could use a lot of that, so that’s my thinking on the hard print editions at this point.  If someone wanted to do such a thing as an investment, it wouldn’t hurt my feelings.  If we can get them a 10% discount, I’m all for it. 

As I said, I have spoken to many good people over this past week who were very energized to get The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business to satisfy their strategic goals. It’s a scary world right now, and things do appear hopeless.  But I would argue that it is all entirely on purpose.  It’s like when a robber tells us to stick up our hands and people comply because they hope that by going along to get along, the villains will let them live and not just shoot them dead.  And that’s what we have going on a lot these days, especially when it comes to mandatory vaccination talk and the wearing of masks to submit to a tyrannical authority.  The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business is all about how to eliminate that robber before they get a chance to hold us up.  And that is a very proactive sentiment that people are finding attractive.  All hope is not lost.  I would argue that we are just beginning to win absolute freedom for ourselves in these dark times.  For many, it just takes a slightly different way of thinking to make it happen, and from what I hear so far, we are well on our way.
