No More Kings in the World: The light at the end of the tunnel to end all known conspiracies

I have absolutely no reverence for bloodlines, kingships, or family rights to the efforts of previous generations. When we talk about the leaders of the Deep State being a global cabal of the Illuminati, with the mask of the World Economic Forum, the 13 original families, 10 of which came from other planets leaving 3 to develop on earth, the Krupps, the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds, I have zero sympathies for their task at ruling over others. Whatever their beliefs, whatever their history, I see it as entirely irrelevant. They have no right or obligation to rule the earth, its people, its nations, its companies, anything. They have no right to black budgets, self-rule, or a vision for the future. All they have is a corrupt understanding of the past and a love of Lucifer, their sun god, the villain Baal from the Bible. The real solution to peace and goodness in the world is to end the perception of entitlement that they have as kingly roles as history has now shown us a vast chronicle. In America, which I think was created as a false flag event to suppress kingly functions in Europe, for a competing bloodline conflict for power within those original 13 families, the idea of decentralizing the kingly role took hold, and now they can’t put it back in the bottle. And it was quite an accident that people learned that they liked the idea of self-rule instead of the compliance to authority that has always constrained society. This is, of course, the central theme of the politics of our present time, the original bloodline families want to remain in control, and most of the world wants to be free of their power. Now that we have the internet, open communications around the world, and can get around the world in less than a day, that power structure is collapsing fast, and the rulers behind the curtain have found themselves exposed in ways they aren’t comfortable with.

It’s all about decentralization; ruling families do not have the bandwidth to deal with a human race that needs to grow. They can only hold power by holding down that growth, which is precisely what we are seeing playing out in global politics presently. Suppose you really go back to the root cause of the Holocaust, for instance. In that case, there is still very much hatred of the Jews that goes back to Mordecai not bowing to Haman and how Esther convinced king Xerxes of Persia to allow the Jews to destroy all their oppressors in books like The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which was written by an anonymous writer out of Russia intent to convince opposition forces that the Jews were plotting world domination. In truth, the conflict goes back to the original bloodlines in conflict with the rebel Israelites who defied those ruling classes, which culminated ultimately in the story of The Book of Esther. The Protocols, as I’ve said before, have been used to create conflict for a very long time, including being passed around the recent Caliphate movement in the Middle East as recently as yesterday. But who writes these books, and who distributes them, and why? The answer to that is those who want to continue to rule as a centralized power where the world centers around them. If there is anything that has held back civilization, its this ridiculous notion of power and control over others from the beginning, likely starting with those original bloodlines and carrying through to this present time, where the pressure of decentralized government, decentralized economies, decentralized academia, is colliding with necessity in violent ways that are all too obvious now. 

As bad as things look today, in these election cycles, with international conflicts, I see one thing happening for certain: the birth of the human race as it is breaking free of these kingly shackles. In America, we had a brief period of independence from those ruling families where the colonies were too far away from the mainland of Europe to control. But it didn’t just start there. The secret societies allowed for some discourse if it gave them revenge over the kings of Europe and the Church for their massacre of the Knights Templers purge of the 1300s. I’ve told the story of Friday the 13th, 1307 before, which drove that whole Gnostic tradition underground, where it stayed. They plotted the downfall European kings and were successful well before America came along. But America was the bright idea of revenge for the whole plot. But it only lasted until immigrants from  Europe brought with them their tradition of love of kings and being ruled by a centralized authority. Once global communication became possible, and flight, and the world shrank, we were destined to have this very modern conflict that would erupt over self-rule instead of centralized rule.   Rule by kings only worked so long as people couldn’t share information and weren’t very smart, to begin with. Or the people were smart, but through their education systems, made ignorant in order to let those bloodline families stay in power the way that slave owners from the Democrat south in America would cut off the feet of slaves to keep them from running away, or would deny them the ability to read so that the slaves would never figure out how to free themselves from the authority figures in their lives. We see the same trend in every corporate environment, every cubicle, every cry to work from home, the desire of all humans to either rule or be ruled in the traditional ways of the bloodline descendants, and the fantasy of the few to rule over the many. To make themselves single-point failures for the purpose of control and nothing else. 

I remember watching Oliver Stone’s movie with Kevin Costner, JFK, with great interest at the obvious allegation against the FBI and CIA and their role in the assassination, which we now know in 2023 was a CIA operation; our own government took part in the killing of an American president, and a popular, and powerful Democrat from an influential family. We watched over the years as members of that family were systematically killed off or encumbered in many accidents that forever tarnished their public image. And we could tell similar stories of mystery and mayhem regarding 9/11, election fraud to remove Trump from office, Nixon’s innocence in Watergate. The Tik Tok UFO that has been shown so much. The billions and billions of dollars that have gone to Ukraine for mysterious reasons while Biden traveled there on Presidents’ Day of all places, as New Palestine, Ohio, suffered from a major train derailment. I would offer in the wake of all these massive tragedies, and the bombardment of all the crazy news that looks like Armageddon is upon us, the Book of Revelations is happening now, and we all play a role in its outcome; I would offer that the wheels are coming off quickly for those original 13 families, the inevitable reality is blowing up in their faces, and they are pulling every string of chaos to attempt to stay in power, just as the corporate executive does in their feeble attempts to hold a corner office as young challengers seek to knock them out of that office and the prestige that goes with it. We are seeing the great undoing of that power structure and all the conspiracies they have used to stay in power. Mankind is doing more than walking on the moon, it is reclaiming its rightful place as a creator within the universe, and the power structure of kings, which is more ancient than ancient history itself, is falling apart and coming to an end, which is why our times are so violent and chaotic. But fret not; there is light at the end of the tunnel, and something new and better is just beyond. We won’t be able to experience it until the kings are out of the way and not trying to funnel the efforts of human imagination through their limited means to grapple with the pressure of innovation and imagination. And once they fall and their roots into the past to preserve their rights to dominate all society have expired, we will find a new day filled with great optimism and a chance for a future that has never been contemplated in all of human history.

Defund the Deep State: Why does the CIA need black budgets over a trillion dollars a year

The situation is out of control; it’s not patriotism to allow entire branches of government, such as the CIA and the FBI, to operate independently of public oversight. They have been using the scam of safety for too long, the same tired argument that was used to mask the bad behavior of school teachers behind a union firewall, power-hungry radicals have infested these branches of government, and they need to be regulated back to civilian authority, as they always should have been. It used to be assumed that these branches of intelligence agencies were red, white, and blue unquestionable patriots, but no longer. They have shown, especially after the Trump presidency, that they do not work for the flag-waving efforts of America or the idea of free people governing themselves. But they work on behalf of globalists, centralized control of government to rule over everyone, and they intend to use force and the fear of it to control society. Their recent activity was bad enough, but since they were created, the FBI and CIA, and other such intelligence agencies, it is obvious that as organizations, they cannot govern their own behavior, and the power has gone to their heads, and they are willing to kill to preserve that power. Recently classified documents show that the CIA was involved in killing JFK, for instance, which is no longer a conspiracy theory. They were involved in the Nixon impeachment, which was a less bloody way of getting rid of a popular American president. Then, of course, we saw what they did to Trump right in front of our faces. So these days, I’m all about defunding them. Suppose there are things in the world that America needs safety from most of the time. In that case, they are less dangerous than these American intelligence agencies’ power over private citizens; we would be better off without them.

In these days of out-of-control alliances with Big Tech and ballooning national debts of 34 trillion dollars, it has been reported often that the CIA by itself has over 1 trillion per year in black budget spending , and we know this because of respectable declassified reports released from the fiscal years of 1998, 1999, and 2001. Remember the 9/10 speech by Donald Rumsfeld when he said that trillions of dollars went into the DOD that nobody could account for? Yeah, well, neither does anybody else because on the very next day, 9/11 happened, and everyone turned their focus to global terrorism in Afghanistan. And when they finally did kill the terrorist Osama bin Laden, his body was dumped at sea, and all the American people heard about it was a news report. There were no photos or videos. We were just supposed to take their word for it. And speaking of taking their word for it, what was the report for the cause of Benghazi? Remember, Mrs. “What Difference Does it Make Now” It was an insulting YouTube video. And on 9/11, why did Building 7 fall down? Back to those black budgets for the CIA, which were granted to them by Congress in 1949, for the years specified, it was 1.7 trillion in 1998, 2.3 trillion in 1999, then 1.1 trillion at the end of 2000, right before Bill Clinton left office. Where did all that money go? Those are in dollars from over twenty years ago. Imagine what those black budgets look like now. Most budgets, such as the one for the Director of National Intelligence, DNI, are 85 billion, or in that ballpark. How does the CIA have over a trillion dollars? And what do they spend that money on? 

I’ve been skeptical about the CIA most of my life. I have viewed them like many people do, as necessary for the defense of our country. But if they are only causing trouble that causes problems around the world and are killing people out of national security, when we see that we have open borders, spy balloons floating across our country, and we have members of Congress getting caught sleeping with Chinese spies, and nothing is done about it, then why do we need a CIA? Why do we have an FBI? Especially if they see the evidence on the Hunter Biden laptop and then provide disinformation to the public to help rig an election, such as they did in 2020.  51 members of intelligence, including top-level CIA people, lied to the American people and blamed the entire laptop on Russia, hoping to start a war to cover up for other things? It kind of makes you look differently at other events in the past and wonder with new eyes. It makes me realize that we don’t need those people because they are making America more dangerous than less. I think it’s beyond time to consider what these people do for us, and is it really worth the money. What does having a CIA really do for us if they are going to rig elections and support an out-of-control Deep State? What good is the FBI if they will arrest Trump supporters in airports and kick down their doors but let China have its way with our intellectual property and let spy balloons spy on people hot tubbing in the backyard? 

I hear it all the time, “if they will kill an American president, don’t you worry? Don’t make yourself a target.” And that is precisely why nobody calls these losers out on their behavior, because they are afraid of them. But, just a reminder, this is why we have a Constitution and a Bill of Rights and why during the foundation of this country, there were serious concerns about having a standing military that would spiral out of control with too much power. We created the FBI during a wave of big progressive government and did the same with the CIA, the Central Intelligence Agency. And they never have been effective in making America better. Instead, it’s obvious they’ve made it worse, and that includes people at the top, to the bottom, the people who push the brooms. And they need to be defunded, they need their black budgets removed, and America needs to focus on getting out of debt spending. What we don’t need are big government branches that work against America, and what we’ve seen from the FBI and CIA is that they are as worthless to an optimistic America as a rock on the beach. They aren’t worth millions of dollars, let alone trillions! And it’s not like we have to go to war with them using the Second Amendment to protect our rights from them. All we need to do is put them out of business. Get fiscal oversight of their work, and manage it. Get rid of the black budgets, and defund them. Take away the money that feeds them and let them shrink out of existence. Because of those actions, we will find out that the world is a lot safer place. And we will likely finally solve the War on Drugs pouring in from the Mexican border. The CIA has been involved in that business for a long time. How much of their trillions of dollars have poured into Mexican drug cartels? I would bet a lot. And if you want to put an end to all these bad characters, then take away the money that feeds them. That would be a lot more effective than a physical confrontation with a government force that has lost civilian oversight. And the effects would be much longer lasting.

It’s All About the Kiss: We are not all one country and we will never get along

I’ve had to give the story hundreds of times since Joe Biden gave his State of the Union speech to the country early in the year 2023; what are my thoughts on it, and what does it mean for the country? Well, there were lots of sloppy discussions in it about the United States coming together and that we are all playing on the same team. Lots of droopy talk that nobody will ever agree with, talking about the state of the economy, the merits of foreign policy, taxes, and racism, which was meant to suppress the information that Democrats were the slave owners and Republicans freed the slaves. Yet, Democrats are trying to erase that history with government giveaways that just make modern slaves out of people through policy. Transgender Biden staff, the expansion of the intelligence agencies’ ability to keep Democrats in power, there was a lot to talk about. But for me, the essence of the entire speech came down to the kiss between Jill Biden and the husband of the Vice President Doug Emhoff on the lips in front of the world. People were outraged, and those who weren’t perfectly exhibited the differences between us all, and it really set the stage for the political differences that we have in America. And those differences aren’t bad. It’s not like those differences evolved organically. They are the result of liberal policy, and over time, some people have been suckered into it, and some have stayed off the fence. And those that the nectar of collectivism has seduced have very different ideas about government than those who don’t kiss people on the lips in public, conservatives who would rather not be touched by other human beings who aren’t intimate acquaintances.   

We just discussed this topic in Lakota schools in my home community in Northern Cincinnati. We learned about the sexual life of the school superintendent through a messy divorce and came to know about a network of adult swingers who have very different values from the conservative trend of Butler County, Ohio. We all know that there are people like that, but we often don’t learn about those traits in regular interactions around town. But nothing advertises it like kissing people on the lips who are not your spouse. My rules are fist bumps and handshakes. I’m not much of a hugger, even though I recognize that many people do like that exchange between human beings. I tend to like separation from such intimate exchanges. Conservatives respect other people’s personal space and want their space respected. Liberals tend to be collectivists, so their emphasis is to break down barriers and unify with fellow people as much as possible. And those kinds of rules are never more obvious than in swinging parties where spouses are swapped like baseball cards. And in the Biden family, there are obviously low personal barriers. There are plenty of video clips of Joe Biden sniffing children’s hair and talking about his hairy legs. Through his son Hunter Biden, we know that sexual perversions are part of the family business, and we know that Biden’s daughter showered with him, even though the FBI tried to cover it up with harassment. Why would we be surprised that Jill Biden would kiss other men on the lips? At this point, I think we would expect it. 

When conservative people in my neighborhood learned about the loose sexual standards of the Lakota administration, they were noticeably outraged, for all the same reasons people were outraged by the Jill Biden kiss. To her, it was business as usual. And to Democrats, who are all about collectivism and hiding their public timidity behind an altruistic veil of charity and compassion, don’t understand what the big deal was. Yet they are proposing policy for society through rules and regulations that embody their personal philosophy. In Lakota schools, the same people who were spending their time in bi-sexual Craigslist sexual adventures were the same people telling kids to wear a mask and to follow the CDC guidelines on Covid without question. As if all of society were some recessive at the hands of an S&M bondage session, and people would be OK with that. I look at deviant sexual behavior not as an expression of love but as an indication of insanity and something people need to manage in their lives. Giving in to every sexual temptation is weak and reckless. It’s not something that should be surrendered to. And that difference in opinion comes down to fiscal policy. The people who are fine with a handshake when meeting people are probably the same people who think the government should live within its balanced budget. But the people who want to trade wives, let kids rub their hairy legs at a swimming pool, and have same-sex encounters with middle-aged people are the same kind of people who want to spend endlessly from the country’s credit card and then demand that we pay our bills with more debt. 

These are probably not Trump supporters

I’ve watched people on Duval Street in Key West at the Garden of Eden above The Bull & Whistle Bar flood the place on a Friday night. It’s a clothing-optional bar where people can walk around fully naked. I don’t get it. There is nothing appealing about that kind of life at all, yet there are a lot of people doing it. And every year in Key West, they have a Fantasy Fest where people show up and walk around naked in the streets while drinking and showing themselves off to other people. Where do those people come from? Well, we learned that we have several in the Lakota school district. We know they are in the White House and are members of the Biden family. We know they work in entertainment and media in general and see nothing wrong with such public expressions of sexuality. And I think they are insane. If they have the desire to be so expressive in a public way their sexuality, it’s a free country. But I don’t want those kinds of people in my government. Not running a public school or running the White House. Sex, if it doesn’t involve making children, is a waste of time, and those who don’t see things that way shouldn’t be making fiscal policy and human rights decisions. Suppose they are kissing people who aren’t their spouse on the lips and wanting to walk around naked at a bar or party with swingers at a wife-swap encounter. In that case, they shouldn’t be in government and are not equipped to make decisions representing me, who thinks that a fist bump is oftentimes too intimate of personal exchange. We are not all one country, so long as those kinds of people are in it. And we certainly aren’t going to agree on much. Such people can’t get along because that often means that the prunes, like me, have to give up value judgments to get along with those types of people. And for the country’s sake, we can’t allow that to happen. It is good to have places like the Garden of Eden in Key West to allow the wrecked minds of adult society to go and express themselves. But once we lower our standards, then soon they’ll be in the White House, embarrassing us on the international stage. And to those with standards, they will never get along with people who kiss on the lips in public and think that it’s perfectly OK.

The Public Relations Scam at Lakota: Somehow, a story about reckless sex became about getting rid of Darbi Boddy on the school board

Despite all the terrible news in such great abundance these days, I see a lot of positives worth talking about because people are becoming smarter every day.  Many people are oblivious to how much public relations firms run everything in their lives.  For instance, it has been quite clear that our own government has become a public relations firm for Big Pharma and that the entire notion of government medicine was simply guaranteed product sales using the government to enforce market stability for the firm they represent.  And if you want representation, you don’t get it with votes; you hire lobbyists, you pay to play, and only then can you get the power that government offers.   But it does all start locally, and now that so many discussions about government schools are on the top of everyone’s mind, a recent example at Lakota schools in my home district of Butler County, Ohio, showed the story better than any other means.  Here we had a school superintendent involved in a messy divorce who admitted in a police report that he had fantasies of drugging, molesting, and video recording three students with whom he was in charge, but the media in town would not move on the story.  They pretended it never happened and that the whistleblowers were the villains.  It was a bizarre case that shows just how deeply public relations firms shape the reality that a voting public understands.  And at Lakota schools, we had a wild example of the worst that could be learned about a public administrator, and they spun the story through public relations in a way to cover it up.  And most of the news media in Cincinnati, print and television, worked hard to suppress the story to the favor of the public relations representatives at Lakota, who insisted to the public that the story was not real and that the whistleblowers were simply political activists who wanted to get rid of the superintendent. 

Those same public relations personalities then tried to spin everything around on the first-year school board member, Darbi Boddy, whom the community has rallied around to uphold a standard of morality in the crazy government school, and school systems, in general, to provoke her into being removed from the school board.  This was all before the superintendent had to resign due to his actions, leaving the standard teacher union thugs irate and looking for revenge.   On the way to record the video for this article, I had heard on the radio’s top-of-the-hour news report that the community was seeking signatures to remove Darbi Boddy from Lakota schools because having her on the school board was going to make it difficult, if not impossible, to find a new superintendent.  That was on a big Clear Channel radio station in Cincinnati reading essentially off a press release directly as it was given to them, and that was out of all the topics in Cincinnati media, a news story.  Ironically I had at that moment in my hand a report from Channel 12 news, Cincinnati, talking about the challenges of finding a good superintendent in the very contentious environment of Lakota schools.  All of that was the work of just a few public relations people hired by Lakota schools to manage the district and the voting public.  And none of it was real as we would consider facts part of reality.  Rather, the reality was being completely shaped by public relations right in front of everyone’s faces who knew better. 

Many of the people who had been involved in the school superintendent’s story and found his sexual lifestyle learned about in the wake of his divorce reprehensible, were stunned that for over six months prior, the public school denied the existence of reality and stuck completely to their tactic of shaping their image completely around public relations tools, the media, press releases denying what was learned even when police testimony was quite clear, and using legal firms to establish a fake precedent with bizarre interpretations of legal definitions as to what moral behavior was and criminal intent.  Even the law from the level of the police was shown to fit into the public relations game completely, playing along as the story was shaped not by truth but by PR statements given to the press, for which they ran with completely.  And during that entire time, from when the public learned about the police report admission from the superintendent to the time he resigned, around six months, the media was cold on the story to the point where they could get away with it.  They had to cover what the public was outraged about, but their tactic was to take the edge off the story hoping that people would forget about it and those telling the story would be terrified by legal threats to their very lives.  It was all very ominous and corrupt beyond reason.  Yet the moment the superintendent resigned, suddenly, there was an avalanche of stories from all the news outlets about the Lakota school’s situation.  Even Channel 9 was doing Lakota stories suddenly on a variety of topics.  It was stunning; all the news stations were reporting the events of Lakota and, of course, the newspapers.  But their subject wasn’t the exploits of the superintendent and the danger it might pose sexually to the student population like rational people might expect; rather, the entire efforts were to get rid of Darbi Boddy as the school board member the community had rallied around to stand up to the public relations efforts. 

Prior to this Lakota story, people had a kind of perception of this hidden menace.  But only when the machine had been turned on to such a ridiculous level with such stark contrasts could anybody see what the problem always has been.  Lakota schools didn’t have a leg to stand on in defending their very progressive pick for superintendent with such rock-solid evidence that did exist, and so many people knew about it.  And the story got out to the public through all the methods that public relations couldn’t manipulate, citizen journalism, social media, and a billboard campaign in the community.  But all the places where public relations could touch with their press releases, we saw a news culture that essentially read the statements without any investigation and carried the message to an unsuspecting public.  The example was perfect, and it shows a deeper problem in many government endeavors at all levels, from local to national to international.  The same game was being played everywhere and for the same reasons.  Somehow at Lakota schools, a story about a superintendent of the student population having fantasies about kids in a sexual way was turned completely around to the danger of the school board member who represented the community in showing disdain for that information.  It was a clear case of morality that anybody should have been able to agree with.  Yet the public relations machine dug in and tried to defend the absurd, and the desperation of their lack of effectiveness forced them to go way over the top and reveal their hidden manipulations in a very educational way.  And in so doing, we all learned how this business is done everywhere else, from election fraud to Covid vaccination status to the inflation numbers of an economy that has obviously been in recession.  The same methods were applied in all those cases, and reality was shaped not by facts but by public relations mechanisms to the detriment of all representation and disrespect of all people in a society of free voters.

A Review of ‘Rise of the Fourth Reich’: Dealing with the worst holocaust in the history of the world

I’ve been looking forward to this book for a long time, Rise of the Fourth Reich: Confronting COVID Fascism with a New Nuremberg Trial, So This Never Happens Again, by Steve Deace and Daniel Horowitz. It came out on Valentine’s Day, 2023, and it did not disappoint. There are many powerful chapters, mainly Chapter 19, where David Martin’s statements about the plandemic are precisely the type of talk we should be having two years after the worst bioweapon attack in the history of the world was unleashed. We have to answer the aggression. Otherwise, it will happen again, and the next time will be worse. Martin names the direct perpetrators of a known crime were Peter Daszak, Ralph Baric, Anthony Fauci, the former secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar, and many others knowingly committed multiple crimes understanding that death would result. They are the four with the most blood dripping from them. But then you have the organizations that funded the mess, such as Welcome Trust, the Gates Foundation, the Open Philanthropy Foundation, and EcoHealth Alliance.   Then there is the WHO, where Harry Truman signed an executive order that gave the WHO the directive to control the surgeon general of the United States. That needs to be removed immediately. We have a lot of work to do, and a lot of people will have to be punished severely, very severely. Google knows what role it played in preventing information on treatment from getting to the public. So did Facebook, which continues to this very day. They expect to get away with literal murder. I would immediately propose trust-busting hearings on them, far worse than what Teddy Roosevelt did over a hundred years ago to the railroads and other monopolies that needed to be broken up. Or what the government had to do with Microsoft during the 1990s. Trust busting is the least of what needs to happen next due to gross complicity of Big Tech, the media in general, and their unholy relationship with Big Pharma as their personal PR firms. What was done with Covid is now an irrefutable attack on the world by an unseen enemy who hides in finance and the medical industry and is still a threat to us all. Covid was a test for them, and now they’ve seen what they can get away with and how exactly to go about it. I consider the contents of that book by Deace and Horowitz to be the most important topic in the world right now, and I would recommend everyone read it for themselves. 

Now, my position on Covid has not changed from the beginning. You can go back in searches on this site and see that from day one, early in 2020, as Covid was becoming known as a threat, that I called Covid a bioweapon meant to instill climate change values upon the overly trusting masses. Even Rush Limbaugh at the time thought it was a conspiracy theory to say such a thing. But I knew these people who were involved from my own personal research, and I saw a coup against President Trump, and the enemy was desperate to remove him from office during an election year. They had tried everything else, and Covid for them had been in development for over 20 years, so if they were going to unleash it on the world, 2020 was the time to do it. I knew what this was from the beginning, and it has been frustrating to see it take two additional years for the world to catch up. But I knew Steve and Daniel were writing this book, and there are others, especially by Robert Kennedy; some have already been written, but that the research into what happened was going to happen, and those books would come out, and people would start getting the proof they needed to make major changes in their lives. And when it comes to our government, they have been seduced into a new kind of corporate communism based on the China model of society management, and they have attacked us militarily with terrorism through our corrupt government, not with tanks and troops, but with white coat bureaucrats and a takeover of our health care system to essentially threaten all our lives unless we do what they say. Rise of the Fourth Reich provides plenty of testimony to this situation, and it is backed by actual voice recordings of the witnesses who could easily be brought in for congressional testimony.

It is not too much to call what happened with Covid a Holocaust or to draw conclusions about it regarding comparisons to what Hitler did to the Jews. I have been thinking that very thing since I watched Fauci and Gates trick President Trump into shutting down our entire economy with stay-at-home orders and use Operation Warp Speed to roll out a Pfizer and Moderna vaccine that was already secretly in development; that was the real killer. The manufactured Covid virus under American influence in a Chinese lab in Wuhan was just the delivery system. It was the excuse to put innocent people into a gas chamber to exterminate them. And our government played a role in this terrible mass murder all around the world. We’ve seen these kinds of aggressions in history before. But never before was it attempted in such a significant way and indiscriminately to so many innocent people. It is so evil that most people do not have context to what happened. They are happy that Covid is over to some extent, that they have returned to their lives in many ways. But the effects are already in place around the world. The government policies driven by Covid have already destroyed much more than economies that have never really been restored. And the aggressors have gone unpunished because they think they are immune to prosecution. They control the wealth of the world. They control our governments in the world. And they run the media through many corporate connections and have been very audacious about it. 

I had been on the preorder list for Rise of the Fourth Reich since the summer of 2022 when I first learned that these guys from Glenn Beck’s media group, The Blaze, were putting it together. Surprisingly the book arrived in my hand on the same day it was released to the world on February 14th, 2023. The Amazon truck literally put it in my hand as I was standing in the driveway to receive it. I opened the delivery box and literally started reading it as I walked back to the house. I have since read it twice and listened to the audio version once, and I’m not done. The book does a great job laying out the case of how this massive crime should be handled congressionally. I’m in a bit of a hurry because I know there are a lot of very influential people who read this blog. They are looking for answers too, and there so far has not been a better case for indictment of many characters connected to this Covid crime. It needs to happen fast before someone like Bill Gates gets a chance to try it again, which he clearly plans to do now that he’s seen, and his partners have as well, just how people will react and how information flows through governments, the media, and to the people. Covid was just step one; they have many planned steps in mind, so there is some urgency on our part to meet the challenge. And by reading this well-researched book, Rise of the Fourth Reich, we can begin to accept what happened to us and just how evil some of these people were from the start, and they don’t even hide it any longer. Even a few months ago, a lot of this kind of discussion would be considered tin foiled hat conspiracy, but the facts tell a different story. We witnessed with Covid a holocaust, and we lost a lot of innocent people in the process. It was the danger we all feared most when Nancy Pelosi said about government healthcare that we had to pass the bill to read the bill. Now we are seeing the start of why these kinds of tyrannical people wanted government healthcare so much. Because they had mass exterminations in mind for the human population for all kinds of crazy climate change reasons. And now, there is proof of their activity, and this book is a foundation for doing something about it. Of course, we must not fall into a false sense of security that the threat has been averted and we can all return to normal life again.   We, of course, can’t.

The Most Powerful Weapon in the World: Yahweh as a rebel and representative government as opposed to dictatorships

I enjoy reading the Bible for reasons that aren’t typically discussed, primarily because it exposes what the enemies of America miss every time, which is our form of government. It’s common for us to complain about our government, which is part of its appeal because in America, government is a necessary tool, not a part of some ruling class, and it’s unique in that regard. I sometimes get invited to events at the Ohio Statehouse. I never get tired of thinking about the many hidden meanings displayed there for the various politicians who find themselves as part of a class to conduct the people’s business and witness the ornate décor that is part of the ceremonial structure of its Greco-style architecture. It’s a republic that all the statehouses around America represent, and our federal government in Washington is just a further expression of a lot of mythology and occult practices but a purposeful dedication to the purpose of government in America, something that started with the advent of western civilization and is the best weapon we have against tyrannical governments around the world, and that is our representative government as it evolved along the lines of biblical understanding and is without question the best in the world. Our government is meant to put on the breaks to hot ideas from those most power-hungry, and in that way, it frees up the ambitions of people to produce the most productivity. And whenever I am at the Ohio Statehouse, I am reminded of this very unique aspect of government from the American perspective. 

I was in the gallery for the State of the State speech for Governor DeWine early in 2023. Some people had gathered around me to hear a conversation I was having about the history of the Statehouse and what some of the symbolism meant. It seemed like a good thing to share with this audience, especially when every night we turn on our televisions, we hear only bad things about it. There is quite a push around the world to frustrate the American people with their form of republic government and to tempt them to abandon it in favor of corporate communism, which is the latest threat coming out of China and the World Economic Forum, who want strong CEO types of leaders to rule everything and for countries like America to get frustrated and give up their republic. That strategy was most apparent during Covid where the design of the bioweapon attack was clear, to strengthen central government, make dictators out of all the state governors abandoning the legislatures, and to use an emergency to completely change our government into communism because communism was quicker and more decisive. As I told my witnesses in that gallery that day of the 2023 State of the State speech, the ornate symbolism in the Representative chamber was purposeful to remind the participants that this form of government was there before they arrived. It would be there long after they were gone. And the place itself was a stark reminder to them to do good work, to elevate their game in the name of the law and the constitutions of our republic, and it’s just such a beautiful thing. 

The Bible is key to America in how forms of government evolved over time in purposeful ways, distinguished from the many failures at the time. As God picked his chosen people to be freed of slavery from Egypt, the rest of the world worshipped some form of Baal, which we can see is still happening. Those who were not the chosen people whom Moses freed by the hand of God from the clutches of Pharaoh in Egypt are today just as jealous and cantankerous toward the teachings of the rebel Yahweh. The Bible became a rebellion against many thousands of years of a failed government. Various societies ended up with strong kings or Pharaohs, such as Ramses, or Nebuchadnezzar, or Xerxes, but their influence was always top-heavy and prone to failure once they died, leading to a social collapse in their wake. What Yahweh did against the other religious influences at the time; specifically the long lineage of Baal worship that goes back tens of thousands of years, and was most recently spotted in Hollywood with the Grammys, both from the audience and from the Sam Smith performance, was rebel against that tendency. Behind those efforts is a real push to have centralized rule. But what Moses learned in the wilderness from his father-in-law Jethro was a new way of government that God tried to get everyone to commit to, a representative republic. Jethro explained to Moses that the way to rule so many people was to create judges and regional governors to represent him so that he wouldn’t have to hear the personal complaints of many thousands of people. That way, people could more easily get their needs met while distributing the responsibilities for leading people across many helpers, where Moses could then be a kind of supreme court and only deal with the subjects that could not be satisfactorily met regionally. America is unique in that it has worked to fulfill the biblical goals of a republic rather than a dictatorship, which is at the core of the Bible. 

You can always tell a culture that is choking on too much liberalism when they complain about supply chains and being too busy because everything is funneled through them. Moses had that problem too, until his father-in-law helped him develop a new kind of government. God provided the Ten Commandments to create a legal foundation for judgment, then judges and regional governors would divide up the labor of adhering to justice. And in that way, something new was formed that the Greeks and Romans touched on, but it was only the United States who successfully implemented it, a representative government that solved the needs of the people but kept tyrants from becoming single-point failures over their respective societies. That is the primary problem in China; after all, so much runs through their communist dictatorships that the capacity for social development is limited to the ability of just a few people at the top, which makes the people miserable and suppressed. This is a problem in every culture with too much of a top-down management style, and it’s the only thing our modern media understands because they have all been taught the wrong values. But in America, our greatest weapon against the world that has not made such an evolution themselves and is very jealous of how things are done in America, the Bible and its success is the best blueprint for good government, and those influences are evident at the Ohio Statehouse and other statehouses all across the country. I never get tired of visiting them and thinking about how different America is from other places that have not unlocked that unique form of government. The concept that in the Ohio Statehouse, or any statehouse for that matter, has personal representatives for the people of those states and that local government is so respected is a hedge against tyranny that has set America apart in the world in a way that no other country has yet figured out. And we take it for granted because we’ve always had it. But as we also saw with Covid and anywhere that we use the Constitution as the basis of our law, the best way to defeat our attackers is through the rule of law and, precisely, our republic form of government. Because the pressure on our rivals is forced through the constraints of their dictatorships, and it always proves too much for them to handle, and they collapse in the process. America’s greatest weapon against the world is in its government and not in its military power, which is why it is so attacked in the way it constantly is by those who don’t understand it.

Why Hollywood is so Liberal: Selling vaccinations knowing how dangerous they are

Covid, for all practical purposes, is long over. And to say it was a plot to change the way authority is distributed worldwide through the white coat administrative class is evident at this point. Yet it’s clear that the plan never considered American sovereignty of any kind and that Constitutional protections from an out-of-control government would not be a factor. It’s obvious the vaccine given as a result of Covid has significant problems and is far from harmless. There is quite a lot of evidence that it’s dangerous for some people, maybe all people. And most people allowed themselves to be convinced through government pressure to take medicine they otherwise would not have considered, and there is a lot of guilt about it now that people don’t want to talk about it because it’s embarrassing for them. But we are seeing young people dying all the time, especially in sports, from heart-related failures, and the statistics are mounting up across the world from pre-covid analysis. Knowing all that, you’d think that the push for further vaccinations would be going away to some extent. Instead, we are seeing all the same menacing characters, like Klaus Schwab, almost in a panic to convince people to go out and get vaccinations to protect them from Covid. Now we know much more about Covid than we did during that first year in 2020, when the media was telling us how deadly it could be, and we all hid in our homes like cowards because the government told us to in order to stop the spread. And we happen to know that Covid was created in China by human hands for obviously menacing purposes, so there is still all that to deal with. But we know now that other medicines treat Covid much better than the vaccine. Yet, nobody still is talking about them in the media circles or from the obvious attackers of American sovereignty. 

I had a friend look me up a few years ago, right before Covid hit, who asked me when I would start making movies as a producer and director, something I have talked about doing my whole life. I had come close to getting into that business several times and have, at times, been able to work with bit-time actors, producers, directors, and finance people, in ways that most people never are exposed to. And I found it disheartening to learn not only how liberal they are, as a culture, way before woke politics showed itself to be so corrosive to the corporate world, but from a business side, it just was not a viable model. The movies I loved growing up were not going to be made for a long time in Hollywood; the industry would have to collapse completely, and the unions would have to implode as they did in the automobile industry, where upstarts could function without unionized labor. And now, with streaming services being what they are, making movies for theater productions isn’t viable as a business model where you get investors and can promise a payback. The movie business, more than ever, is a gambling endeavor. Sure, some people hit it big, but most fail miserably. I explained to my friend that I was going to wait out the storm and see how the market matures. That was, of course, before Covid, and in the aftermath, Hollywood is worse than ever or more unstable than when I explained those market conditions to my friend. I have several projects that would be interesting, but the release to a theater is just too unpredictable, and the streaming revenue doesn’t make sense to me. So at this time, I’m a hard pass. There are many more things to do in the world than make movies. 

But the exposure I had to the inside mentality of Hollywood was very valuable in understanding why actors and other Hollywood types are still pushing the vaccinations. I once shared a trailer with a young lady fresh off the set of Pirates of the Caribbean 3, and I thought she was very nice. It was an awkward arrangement as the producer had not brought in enough trailers for their production, and we were asked to share, which is something you just don’t do in Hollywood culture. But we shared a trailer, and I was able to hear from her just how desperate most actors are for their next project. They stress about it constantly, even the big A-listers. Choosing to be an actor is a very hard thing to do, and integrity is not a value producers have regarding actors. Actors are paid to do what other people tell them, and personal traits are not valued. I saw from Hollywood that finance and the producer class were captured by woke culture years ago and they simply did not hire actors with strong personal opinions about anything that was unimportant to those producers. Everyone is a pretty face in acting, so it’s easy to trade one out for another. Women know that if they want to work as an actress, they will have to take off their clothes at some point to make the producers happy; otherwise, they won’t get a job for anything. And men learn quickly that the best way to get their next job is to take on liberal causes and attract attention for them. That’s how they get a call to be in a new film because of their social activism.   Hollywood went full ESG years ago, even if Wilshire Blvd took a while to catch up among the agents. 

So it’s not surprising to see actors still trying to sell the Covid vaccination to the public, which comes across as odd at this late date when the rest of the world wants to move on from Covid. To have them talking about Covid still indicates the deeper plot that is so much attached to this origin and how it connects to Hollywood liberals from the finance class who are plugged straight into the Desecrators of Davos strategies for a Great Reset from Covid panic. It was a strategy they had all invested in heavily, and they just can’t bring themselves to the conclusion that it was a failure and that the vaccination has significant liability concerns. But to answer why Hollywood celebrities are still trying to pressure the public into getting the vaccination, it’s because they have to; otherwise, they won’t work in Hollywood at all. It’s the same reason many people believed the media and got the vaccination under Biden’s illegal executive order. They wanted to work. The Hollywood I came to know was not the place of my youth where imaginative people made movies and got rich doing so. It was a radical place captured by extreme leftists, and the actors in those projects only survived by doing precisely what they were told and checking their personal beliefs at the door. Who controls what those beliefs are then becomes the hidden menace, which then is more evident under pressure, which we are seeing now. The malicious intent from the beginning is easy to see now that rational minds have survived the Covid push. Yet the brain-dead utterances coming from actors to get the vaccination of an obviously dangerous medicine shows that the perpetrators went all in on Covid. And they will likely never admit to themselves their complicity in the ordeal, which is why everything they say cannot be trusted. Actors say what they are told to say, just as it is when they do an acting project. Real-life emulates fiction much more than most people realize.

The Hidden Menace of the Chinese Spy Balloon: We do not have control of our military from the White House

I can say with a lot of certainty that of the many objects shot out of the sky since the Chinese spy balloon was destroyed over the coast of South Carolina that it isn’t aliens, even though recently there have been a lot of sightings. A wasp nest of aerial activity is currently underway that is certainly more than usual. I think it’s a combination of things, people are looking up more than they usually do, and they are finding that a lot is flying around, as there always is. Our airspace is quite busy, and visitors from other places in space would not be out of the question. We are discovering these days quite rapidly that a few big secrets have been concealed behind our assumptions of religion and our institutional sciences that were wrong from the beginning and that our past is very much our future. It didn’t always involve just earth. There are lifeforms from all over the place doing what has been in their self-interest, and the start of human civilization was undoubtedly part of that. But as far as shooting down any of these visitors, no, there are too many agreements and technology exchanges for something like that to happen. We’re just talking about a bunch of balloons here, and strategically, the enemies of America have been empowered to test the fences under the Biden administration. Yet, in the end, we will all find that most of the problems in the world are not caused by other countries or planets but by a few ridiculously simple-minded occultists with a lot of money who are the root cause of most trouble. And once you understand that, they are pretty easy to beat.

The first spy balloon that caused so much trouble when it first flew across the United States, entirely before the military was allowed to shoot it down, was interesting and revealed a real menace that nobody has been talking about, something I would call the root cause of our problem. Because it started in China and Biden did not have it shot down, it was embarrassing to the administration because of his ties to China which has been revealed on the Hunter Biden laptop. And it was a large balloon, not something from a carnival. It was two hundred feet tall and was carrying a payload under it of several thousand pounds. So it was significant, but not so much that it couldn’t have been originally shot down over Montana or Alaska. However, if China wants to spy on us in America, there are a lot better ways to do it. Most satellites can zoom in on your watch from space, so it’s not like they will discover people hot tubbing in their backyards and violate their privacy.   They have already done that, and they don’t need a spy balloon for that or to look at ground troops at airbases across North America.    Rather, the spy balloon was most valuable to the Chinese in how people reacted politically because of it. What Biden did and when, how the media covered it, and what political fissures were caused by it. Those kinds of things were far more valuable to the Chinese than what any instrumentation on the spy balloon could actually record while drifting slowly across our nation unmolested. 

Then under significant criticism from the American public, the balloon was shot down, and since then, many more similar balloons have been destroyed. There was one over Lake Huron that I found very disturbing as it is near a lot of very commercial airspace; Detroit is nearby, as well as Mackinac Island and Canada. It’s not exactly a remote part of the world, so sidewinder missiles flying around and not hitting their targets is a problem. Because of the first balloon, people are looking up more, and they see things that were always there. And the radar noise is being taken more seriously because so many people were embarrassed by the news coverage, and of course, they are going to overreact. And there have been many reports that similar balloons flew over America during Trump’s administration, and he didn’t shoot them down either. But that’s where the real problems start to emerge, and Biden alluded to it when he indicated early in the process that he gave the order to shoot down the Chinese balloon much earlier than it was. As it turned out, the military didn’t do what Biden wanted; they waited until they felt like it and did so after the balloon had drifted out over the Atlantic Ocean. And when it came to Trump, the military didn’t even tell his administration of the threat because they were concerned he would act irrationally. So we have learned something very important here that we have always suspected. Our military does not report to our Executive Branch; they treat that position like a cosmetic Christmas ornament and do not take seriously the commands that come from the White House. And getting caught in that quandary, they have now resorted to overreacting to every little threat to cover their discretions.

What we have in America is an out-of-control military that is not regulated by civilian concerns. We do not elect people to control our massive, and expensive military endeavors. We don’t have George Patton running these militaries these days. Instead, we have General Milley’s and cross-dressing psychopaths who are reporting to other interests traditionally defined as globalists instead of the tax-paying public. Once the stories of criticism over the presidential role in deciding what gets shot down over American airspace were revealed, there was a quick commitment to showing the public that the president was really in charge, and other balloons were shot down. Even the leak of possible UFOs was added to consideration because nothing would unite the world like a possible alien invasion, especially now that people have realized Covid was a bioweapon attack and not a medical threat traditionally considered. If beings from other worlds were involved and had better technology, there would be a lot of boot-licking, and not warfare, because the military wouldn’t want to lose face to them in public. So they would be making deals to have friendly encounters, much like they have in other places around the world with other countries. With all that in mind, China certainly learned about the American reaction to their low-tech poking of our airspace with their spy balloon.   Everyone learned a lot more about the general condition of our politics that was far more valuable than some naked pictures of people in hot tubs enjoying a sunny day. But China already knows that the American military doesn’t listen to the Commander and Chief and that other forces run the global Military Industrial Complex. That’s why they don’t worry about invading Taiwan in China, and it’s also why these globalist forces think they can poke a war between Russia and Ukraine to conceal all kinds of bad conduct by those ruling few and get away with it. Many of the wars previously were for things other than the stated objective, such as the Iraq Wars. It wasn’t about oil; I can tell you that. Think “cylinder seals” left behind by the ancient Sumerians. There are lots of secrets in that region that have shaped our current global religions, and maintaining control of what people know is far more critical strategically than alliances with oil-rich countries. And with all that is a subtle veil that has been punched through just a bit with this Chinese spy balloon. And you can bet that it’s just the tip of the iceberg.

A New Kind of War by a New Kind of Enemy: Covid was a bioweapon and its just the start

As a reminder regarding Covid, from the very first day, and it would be easy to go back on this site and see what I said, I thought of the Covid virus as a bioweapon. I have studied enough history and am familiar with enough different subjects to see the signs and when Covid was introduced, I knew right away what it was and said so. I was even ahead of Rush Limbaugh then, which was a very lonely position. But over the months to come, more people would join me in understanding what was happening, and now a few years later, a large portion of the global population is ready to admit that Covid was a military attack on the world by a new kind of enemy, and they are acting accordingly. It must never be forgotten what happened with Covid and how many people died because a bioweapon was created in China, distributed by people like Bill Gates, who was fully aware of what he was doing, and a small group of billionaires in the World Economic Forum attempted to completely change the way we conduct human life on planet earth by using that created bioweapon to paralyze the world’s governments all at the same time. Now that it hasn’t worked and people are calling the plan what it was all along, these enemies behind the veil are trying to move on from what they did, and they have succeeded to some degree because we don’t yet have in our human language definitions that we can measure the evil of their actions. So our task now is to make those definitions by calling Covid not a virus that happens but a weapon that was created to impose fear on the global populations for the same age-old objective that war is always concerned with, domination over others. 

In the modern sense of war, we will likely never see anything like the two world wars or the Civil War ever again. Tanks, planes, and ground troops will never be the means of fighting that our countries will use to dominate each other, as we’ve studied in history. And I would go as far as to say that our enemies are no longer countries but the financial class that benefits from various countries and the money that makes them work. Today, we have the nightmare scenario that Thomas Jefferson warned about with his constant arguing with Alexander Hamilton over fiscal policy. It was also what Andrew Jackson’s presidency was essentially about. And the efforts of the early American presidents who had the Bill of Rights in mind worked pretty well until the world shrank a hundred years later, and a new kind of enemy loomed on the horizon, one that could make China dance to whatever tune they wished to play. Or any country, for that matter. It’s a villain that goes beyond globalism, and we must embrace it entirely because it’s an evil many of the world’s religions have always struggled to understand. Yet that evil is on our doorstep, and this time it came to us in the form of the coronavirus, modified by humans for a takeover of global politics. It was one of the most malicious destructive endeavors in the world’s history. It’s so bad that no political system will dare call it what it is because to admit such a thing would be to admit their complicity in it, even if it were accidental. Yet almost everyone who failed to see Covid for what it was is complicit in its mass destruction and horrendous effect.

One of my favorite movies of all time is the excellent Spielberg movie Schindler’s List, which deals with the Holocaust of the Jews and is so wonderfully filmed to tell that terrible story. I think of it as a masterpiece. It’s not a war movie like Saving Private Ryan or some other film that involves graphics of war on the battlefield. Instead, Schindler’s List deals with the more obvious problem with war, people’s tendency to comply with a superior force. Why did the Jews allow themselves to be harassed by the radical Nazis? Well, because they hoped for peace and that if they just did what their oppressors required, they might live to survive the ordeal. But why did the Nazis feel the way they did about the Jews. And why did World War II happen at all? Or any war, for that matter. Usually, we find that all wars are caused by a few people here or there trying to impose their beliefs on others. In the United States, we made a formal declaration against the world to be free of that kind of thing, and it worked well until telephones and air travel shrunk our borders into almost meaningless barriers. The tyrants of history are alive and well, and they live beyond governments now, not as kings and emperors, but as financiers just as insane often, but with unlimited financial resources to impose their will on the innocent, just as the Jews were treated during the Holocaust and with the same indifferent reverence. All that has changed is the means of delivering weapons to a proposed enemy. Power players no longer need to take over nations to exert war. All they need to do is fund it.

And that was what we saw in 2020, America elected a president that was wrecking the liberal world order, and those forces that have so far been generally ill-defined sought to remove him. So they did use Covid as a crisis to stage an attack on the world and its economy. China was propped up as they always are to shield the actual attackers, but the intent was unquestionable. And the same evil that killed so many Jews in World War II was on display again, only this time on a much larger scale. On such a big scale, nobody had any previous belief system to see evil for what it was. A bioweapon is much more dangerous than a nuclear attack or some Red Dawn invasion. We witnessed, and are still experiencing, and likely will for the rest of Earth’s history, the way wars will always be waged in the future. Who needs troops and nations with large militaries when all you need to do to subdue an enemy is a bioweapon that could kill them effortlessly while they sleep? It’s not expensive compared to ground wars. It travels from person to person easier than a Trojan Horse. And it’s with us to stay; there is little that any country can do to stop this new menace in the world. But before we can stop anything, we have to admit that it exists in the form that is so threatening, which is where we are now. We suspect there is more to Covid, but we have not let ourselves think of the people behind it as evil as they’d have to be to do such a thing. Yet we have seen this kind of evil before. It was undoubtedly captured well in the Schindler’s List movie. But this is even worse because we don’t have the convenience of a Nazi party to point to and say, “that’s the enemy.” We can’t even do that with the Chinese, even though all evidence suggests that Covid was made there and distributed maliciously. Instead, the real villain is still out there, hiding in the shadows, and they have control of the most powerful weapons in history, the power to make people live or die without firing a single shot in aggression.

Nancy Nix is the New Butler County Auditor: Roger Reynolds files a Brady Motion that should prove his innocence from political theatrics and State activism of procedural misconduct

There is good news out there worth discussing, specifically that Nancy Nix is going to be sworn in on February 13th for the recently opened auditor job; she is undoubtedly the most qualified to provide a professional continuity to the great work that Roger Reynolds has done in that role for years. Nancy Nix is outstanding in her own way, which is why she was so easily picked to fill that vacancy after a recent trial against Roger Reynolds found him guilty on one of the charges, meaning he needed to step out of the job that voters had just popularly picked him for, knowing that there was a court case trying to establish that he had shown an unlawful interest in a public contract. Thinking back on the trial, which took place right before Christmas in 2022, there were seven charges in total, the seventh one came on during the summer of 2022, and that was the one that he was found guilty of, and it involved Lakota schools. Yes, the same Lakota schools that has had all the Matt Miller controversy, so there is plenty to talk about regarding that one. Once the trial started, Roger’s defense was able to get a charge waived, so this Lakota schools charge ended up being Count Six, and it specifically alleged that Roger Reynolds suggested a partnership between Lakota Schools and the Four Bridges Golf Club to expand an indoor golf training facility for the Lakota golf teams. Jenni Logan, the Lakota treasurer at the time, gave a testimony that the defense did not have adequate time to prepare for; they were caught by surprise by a number of things, which occurred because it was a late charge tossed on by the Sheriff’s office and the unique activism of the Attorney General, David Yost inspired procedural misconduct that left a one sided testimony that the jury sided with in the wake of further corresponding evidence to the contrary. 

Now I know all the characters in this story, and from my perspective, it was 100% politically inspired. You can tell by how the court case was either pushed out to accompany election results or rushed to prevent the defense from obtaining all the information they needed to argue everything in court. Of the original five counts, which were the bases of the case investigated by Sheriff Jones and his department, as reported by Channel 19 news, Roger Reynolds was found innocent on all those counts. This Count Six was added later, right before this case was set to go to court in the summer of 2022, as Jones and David Yost were trying to pressure Roger Reynolds to step down from his auditor role. Based on how things looked, and again, knowing some of the situation personally, it looks like they wanted to put overwhelming public pressure on Roger to avoid court since the system was stacked against him and open up that auditor seat for a pick more favorable to their political desires. That last part is my statement based on knowledge of the case. But it’s not hard to connect the dots; the trial was pushed back to a date after the 2022 election to see if Roger would win re-election, which he did. So the trial was used as a backstop to force him to be removed from office with one of those seven charges. And of those, only one stuck, the one that the defense had the least amount of time to prepare for, not surprisingly. 

However, after the trial, the defense obtained one of the Four Bridges emails that they indicated in a recently filed Brady Motion asking for a new trial just for Count Six that directly contradicts the testimony provided by Jenni Logan. The motion indicates that the prosecution knew of these emails, which weren’t revealed until after the trial because the State suppressed them. Not a surprise, given the political nature of this entire endeavor. I’ve read the Brady Motion filed by Roger’s defense team, which is consistent with what I thought about the case from the start. If the thousands of pages of documents and emails obtained by the State were applied, which they were fully aware of during the trial, but kept from the defense so they wouldn’t have time to prepare a proper defense, then that Count Six would have had a different resolution. One particular email referred to in the Brady Motion as the “Powell Email” directly contradicts the testimony of Jenni Logan, who was the sole witness by the State in support of Count Six. That specific email would have provoked the defense into calling testimony that would have inspired an innocence declaration based on the content, which is different from the Lakota treasurer’s memory of the case, which was quite old to begin with. As it turns out, Logan was interested in the proposal and was undoubtedly not pushed into any considerations.

The Brady Motion indicates that the State withheld material it knew to be exculpatory evidence, violating all kinds of laws. Now for context, the investigators in this trial are the same people who found Jenni Logan’s partner at Lakota schools, Superintendent Matt Miller, innocent of criminal wrongdoing when he admitted in a police report during this same period of time that the same people were prosecuting the Roger Reynolds case, that Miller’s police admission that he fantasized about “drugging, molesting, and video recording three kids from Lakota schools” was not criminal conduct. But Roger Reynolds, a respected Auditor of Butler County, abused his position by just thinking of a partnership between Lakota schools and the Four Bridges Country Club to help kids have a golf academy. To say the least, there is some procedural inconsistency, and that is being extremely polite. And both Jenni Logan and Matt Miller were offered jobs by mysterious forces to get away from the limelight at Lakota schools while things played out as a direct reaction to that Matt Miller police report. If this were not a political case, there likely would have never been a Count Six, let alone all the direct influence of the Attorney General’s office anyway. This case, from the beginning, was political and desired to abuse the control of the law to eliminate political rivals, which worked primarily regarding the suppression of evidence that looks to be intentional by the procedural renderings observed along the timeline. I think Roger has a good argument for a Brady Motion, and it would be well worth the effort and cost to ensure that a person found guilty of a felony has an opportunity at fairness. Not just for his sake but to repair the bad reputation that the court is now carrying because of this case. We want to show that the law cannot be used as a weapon, but as an arbiter of justice for everyone, no matter the political pressures.

Yet the biggest concern was that out of all this, Butler County taxpayers would lose the great work that had come out of the Auditor’s office. And now that Nancy Nix is stepping into that role, at least good government is returning to them, as Nancy has worked closely with Roger for a long time. Political turmoil is a constant hazard, especially when you do a good job and some people don’t want such a good job done. Roger Reynolds has undoubtedly been a target for political inspiration against him due to his high level of competence. And Nancy Nix as her own great person is great for that role. She will face many of the same forces, of course, but she is certainly skilled enough to navigate those dangers in her own way. But ultimately, we must make sure our courts work. In Roger’s case, if there is evidence that would find him innocent because right now he has a felony on his record that will last his entire life, and if he doesn’t deserve it, which based on the evidence suppressed by the State, appears to be the case, well then he should have a proper day in court to defend that charge, and not to be a victim of misconduct that uses the courts as a political weapon, rather than a defender of justice and honor.
