The Assasination of Jesus Christ and Attempt Against President Trump

Considering things on a very historical scale, western civilization has grown tremendously through the religion of Christianity, and so we should think hard about the meaning of Christ during Easter, and more recently, President Trump. We must consider what the concept of removing sin from the concerns of mankind was all about. With the devil in the garden just before Jesus was arrested tempting him with doubt about his ultimate fate, that one man would take the whole world upon his shoulders and advance it with the removal of sin which was hung on the necks of all humanity with the fall of the Garden of Eden. It’s a very Ayn Rand like concept, or even Nietzschean—the idea of one man taking away from the world the burdens of sin that they were condemned with before they were even born. And of course, the institutions at the time needed that burden in place so they could control their populations with guilt. If Jesus took away that guilt, then how would those in power control humanity? So “they” killed him for no good reason but to remove hope from people’s minds that this one person through his teachings could free people of the burden of guilt. That is the only reason Jesus was tortured and killed, because the authority figures at the time needed to show that they were in charge and that anybody who tried to break free of that inherited enslavement would be killed and eradicated from the earth. And that is exactly why Donald Trump was harassed and even tortured, because through his presidency he is trying to take the world to the next step in that long Christian crusade, personal freedom and awareness not confined to the regulation of institutionalism. And for all the same reasons “they” have been trying to kill President Trump any way possible, legally if they could—preferably so their hands would be clean, but if not that way, than some other.

That’s not to say that President Trump was or is a son of God in any way, but that the concept of western civilization has emerged from a violent past to manifest into this present time with a lot of spilled blood. No matter what you believe, or to what degree you believe it, Jesus was a good person conceptually. What he was teaching was likely Buddhism which he encountered during his days in the wilderness and that concept of accepting the transitory state of existence was the foundation of all his teachings. To believe literally in the miracles he performed is probably a crossover of mythology and legend that were added to give him more flare to the ambitions of antiquity. But that doesn’t matter, what does is the concept of one man saving humanity from the simple beginnings of a carpenter who did not share a long royal bloodline through the randomization of birthright. That anybody could be a king of their own kingdom and that heaven is truly everywhere in every state and that typically man does not see it. But that the way to it is not through our institutional control, but through our own consciousness. This is something that is specific to western civilization and is the reason there is so much strife today from the world, particularly the aims of Islam to replace Christianity in the western world. They essentially have the same Bible but the relationship to eternal life falls back to the recognition of the priestly mediums to imprison the mind back to the roles of institutions, not the kind of independence that Jesus was talking about, before the Roman Catholic church tried to institutionalize Jesus Christ, which was never the intention.

Going even further than Jesus Christ was the role of President Trump, a modern King Solomon like figure, only he doesn’t claim to come from the power or lineage of God. He’s just a builder from Queens, New York who went into the family business and ended up President of the United States and the leader of the free world. He didn’t go through the institutional controls to get there, he’s not a member of the Skull and Bones society, or a Harvard Graduate or even a member of a military background, he was an entrepreneur, a television star, and a one time politician who trusted himself and ran for the highest office, and won. And for that he had to be destroyed because the fear is that others might follow him, just as they were prone to follow Jesus 2000 years prior. Even though a lot has changed in 2000 years, I don’t consider it much, conceptually we are the same people. Looking at ancient Egypt for example, their society lasted intact for around 3000 years before eventually falling to the Roman Empire and being absorbed into the Occident. Considering that the efforts against President Trump are precisely the same efforts that were against Jesus Christ, the teaching of individualized pursuit over the grips of institutional control and the way that power is maintained is through fear and control. To maintain that fear institutions, seek 100% of the time to assassinate those individuals who are attempting to free mankind of those burdens. They prefer to ignore them if they can, but if they gain too much popularity, they seek to kill them every single time.

The gains we’ve made in the Occident since the times of Christ are that we believe we are nations of laws and that we are trying to give a platform for individuals to function freely from, which is the nature of the American Constitution. But that is on paper only, in practice the Bar Association and the political levers of our current state are still very much reflective of the rise of western civilization before Christ came along, and has for every century since been pulled back into that slavery mentality, obedience to the state and if power was the desire then you had to lick the feet of those in power, either through some secret society, a church, or a royal line of psychopaths.

Not that Jesus could have or would have, but the key message for our modern times is that President Trump has refused to name superiors on earth to him or lick the feet of anybody at any point and his example is a real threat to the long lineage of institutionalism. I view the Presidency of Donald Trump to be a natural extension to the original teachings of Jesus Christ and the true intention of the creation of all humanity. We have learned as a species the keys to ever lasting life, we have returned to the Garden and pushed away the forbidden fruit and are now nurturing back to life our relationship to the Tree of Eternal life. Yes Heaven is all around us and the reason people did not see it was because they were too occupied with their place on the pecking order of existence, of their fraternities, their boot licking, and their fear of eternal destruction and status as a family name. With Trump beating back the aims of the FBI and the political institutionalists of our current time and firing all the people around him who have not performed well, he has done all civilization a great service and this time such a character didn’t end up on a Cross. They wanted to put him there, but he refused to play along and take the beatings and that is the real lesson from all this that will carry the Occident forward. Don’t empower evil by yielding to it, even with cooperation. The way to beat them is to not need them. That is why Jesus Christ was murdered by his own church. It’s why the FBI tried to destroy President Trump and it is the same force that keeps every breathing human being imprisoned intellectually to the sins of the past. Once you don’t need any of them, they lose all their power, and that is the way of the next two thousand years, and it essentially starts today.

Happy Easter, we do celebrate the resurrection on the third day, but in the context of the Occident, that resurrection has taken place in the Presidency of Donald Trump and we should all be thankful for it.

They Would’ve if They Could’ve but They Couldn’t

To be honest I never had any doubts about President Trump. I do write a lot about him and his administration because he is obviously on the cutting edge of a new way of political thinking. But even so, it was remarkable how well he held it together over what was in all reality a political assassination attempt. In a less media driven time they would have literally just tried to kill him. But these days that’s not how things are done. Killings don’t happen the way they do on television and movies. People aren’t so bold as to have a personal conflict. Rather, they work the peer pressure angle nearly 100% of the time. And if they can’t beat you, they do their best to ignore that you exist. That is the normal method, but it’s awfully hard to ignore a person who had put his name in capital letters on his airplane for all to see, and named so many prominent buildings after himself. I knew from the beginning that a person like Trump was needed to break down this human limit that was so entrenched in American politics. However, it is always good to see a plan come together.

In the great chess game the best thing Trump did over the last few years, not just for his presidency but for the efforts at maintaining a true republic was the nomination of Attorney General William Barr to serve as a true AG. Unfortunately, because the game was above his head, Jeff Sessions wasn’t up for the task and the parasites were able to exploit his goodness to get at Trump. The FBI, the Obama White House and the DNC were sloppy in their insurrection attempts and left behind a lot of evidence regarding their behavior because they figured nobody would survive what they were throwing at Trump. They knew that the fundamental weakness in all human beings was the need for public acceptance which they controlled completely through the media and legal system, they from their point of view could see no ending other than Trump stepping down from office and saying, “to hell with this.” But Trump, the man who rose to fame by firing people has done more terminations of employment than anybody in history and so it went that he made his move against Jeff Sessions and replaced him with Barr. Once William Barr was in place Bob Mueller had no choice but to clean up his act and end his investigation.

Mueller didn’t go quietly however and you can tell by the way he wrote his report. He was digging for anything he could get on Trump. But there was nothing there. Trump was a gigantic public figure living in the public eye well before he became president, so he is accustomed to scrutiny in every aspect of his life. That made him uniquely prepared for the Mueller investigation. Mueller’s frustration about how little control or respect that Trump would give him was entirely evident in the report, which are the references to possible obstruction of justice. Only the real obstruction was that the FBI had rigged everything in the favor of the previous powers of Washington D.C. and Trump wasn’t yielding to that power the way it was expected that he would, or should.

Mueller was obviously on a witch hunt and resented that Trump wouldn’t play along which meant that the leverage the FBI was trying to apply to witnesses, like Paul Manafort, Roger Stone and General Flynn weren’t working. Michael Cohen did flip but Trump fought it all the way in the media taking all the air out of any case that Mueller was trying to build, purely off a false premise. Once a real Attorney General was in place, the antics were over and Mueller had to wrap up his nothing case leaving the hopes and dreams of the Democratic party to go up in flames. The media coverage of the Mueller Report was truly fascinating even thought I personally expected it. It was still rewarding to see a good guy like Trump win in a case like this, because it paves the way for everyone else. What happened with the release of this report is nothing short of a major victory for freedom and republic government. The whole thing isn’t just about Trump winning a case against him, it’s about the failure of the system to assassinate a person who falls out of line from their control and I can’t think of another time in history when something like this has happened. Trump has risen above the powers that normally control us all. It took his big personality and tremendous financial resources to do it, and a lot of tenacity, but he has done something that just occurred for the first time in history. And the world felt it.

Like I said, assassination attempts by people on this earth are not bold and personal. They are distant and very passive aggressive. In other times there was no choice but to kill someone with a weapon in clandestine fashion, while they were drunk or sleeping. But that is not how our world prefers to operate. You can tell that when at a street light next to another car. People don’t like to even look at each other let alone get close enough to kill them. So our methods of assassination have evolved into killing people through systems control, such as institutional mechanisms—separating them from group affiliations. Very few people can deal with not having a good relationship with their peer groups and once they know who those people are, they don’t often let other people into their circle of influence easily, which is why people don’t look at each other or sit next to one another unless they absolutely have to. If there is an empty seat away from a person, most people will take it. The only way people choose to sit directly next to another person is only out of a lack of options. Our institutions have learned over time to control those options which effectively have steered us all in directions desired by those who were most lustful of power. But none of that worked on President Trump because he really didn’t care to be in any of the various power structures that resided in the Beltway culture. He was a true pace setter self-driven and that is what gave him the edge and ability to overcome the obvious political hit job that the Mueller Report was. And now its his turn to launch his own investigations and that has everyone terrified, which they deserve to be.

So yeah, I write a lot about President Trump, because historically speaking he is the hottest thing going. Supporting him for President for the reasons we are seeing I think was one of the best things that any of us could have done as American citizens. He has changed the very nature of politics by exploiting the weaknesses of the previous establishment and the pain from that other side is something I’m enjoying quite a lot. I didn’t want to have to fight them all with violence, and they certainly didn’t want to do things that way. Yet what Trump has done is so much better than the other potential results. By surviving this attack and forcing everyone to live by the law and order they proclaimed to represent, through a real Attorney General like William Barr who has been there and done all this before the peer pressure leverage game simply fell apart and for the first time in history on such a large-scale, an individual beat the institutionalized attacks that had always suppressed such efforts. And that is a very good thing to see as we now move into completely new territory politically. As we do, I am very happy to have Trump in the White House and will do what I can to keep him there. What the other side has coming they deserve every bit of it not only for the benefits of justice, but for the efforts of the human race. There has been a lot at stake, and now its our turn. So it’s time to make it count.

The Bus Driving Labor Union Losers of Petermann

Personally, I think Matt Miller, the superintendent of Lakota schools is doing a good job, and in general the Lakota school board, for the most part. Managing one of the largest school districts in Ohio isn’t for the incompetent and these guys are a lot better than what we’ve had in the past. A lot of the union leveraging games have been removed from their general management and I am supportive of them, so long as they aren’t asking for more money in the form of taxes. I was glad to see that Miller did his best to make sure that parents of the many thousands of kids who attend Lakota each day know where to put the blame regarding the Petermann bus driver’s strike, or the potential for one by getting out in front of the issue. Meanwhile, he did what he could to get information out about the negotiations where a bunch of spoiled unionized bus drivers were demanding more money and better working conditions, or else.

And as it stood going into Monday night of this past week, the drivers were threatening to walk off the job all the while professing their divine love for the children, they transport each day which personally made me sick. I think the proper response would be to fire every last one of those ungrateful lunatics. Driving a bus is not hard. If anything they should be paying the school district for the right to do so, because as a subcontractor of Lakota schools they cost a lot of money to provide convenience to the residents so that their children can get to school each day. But honestly, especially for retirees just wanting to supplement their income as bus drivers later in life, they should consider the job a privilege. There is nothing complicated about it, in a lot of ways it’s what I would consider a loser job for loser people. I wouldn’t mind doing it for fun, but once you put money to it, it sort of cheapens the whole role for me. I think busing could be done by community volunteers. It costs enough in fuel and maintenance to run a bus, let alone some fat ass loser who sits in the Kroger parking lot with three or four other busses and their drivers during the school day waiting for their pickup times.

School buses are increasingly an irritating element to our community. They stop at every damn railroad track and when they have to pick up a kid on a double laned highway, such as RT 4 nobody really knows if they are supposed to stop or not. The busses all in the name of “safety” become a major traffic impediment. Buses are slow and are cesspools of bad behavior among the kids. When you walk the halls of any school you can tell the kids who have their parents drive them and those who have to ride the bus, because there is a lot of bullying and peer pressure on those bus rides that are completely unnecessary and it has an impact on the overall consciousness of the children. Ultimately parents should be taking their kids to school instead of sending them on the bus. Of course, not everyone can afford to, but they should try.

Back in the levy fights of Lakota pulling busing from previous school boards was the tactic of extortion they used to encourage busy parents to pass the tax increase, so that the kids of the parents could have that free ride to school back. In a wealthy district like Lakota the ploy didn’t work very well, because parents for the most part had the financial resources to drive their kids to school and many never did use the bus again after the busing did eventually come back. So explain to me why we need these bus services? It was a pretty dirty trick to try to pull off a last-minute strike with only a month left in the school year, less actually. And to send parents to bed not knowing if a bus would pick up their kids in the morning and take them to school. Any worth that the product of busing did provide was eroded in that single moment at the end of Monday night going into Tuesday with uncertainty hanging in the air.

As I’ve said many times, school teachers have no business being involved in any kind of socialist union. But even worse is a busing union. What the hell are bus drivers doing in a labor union? As we now know, and I’ve been saying it for decades, all labor unions are socialist organizations. Why do we have a socialist organization running our school transportation and having access to our children with radical employees who are perfectly willing to walk off the job just to get more money? It brings into question what they might do for money in other circumstances if they are so cheap. I wouldn’t trust them, and I never did while my kids were growing up. I made sure my wife always had a car to drive them to school, EVERY day. I certainly wasn’t going to turn over the life of my children to such labor union radicals.

I will give credit to Matt Miller for setting the record straight and getting his message out there on the news to make sure parents knew exactly what the situation was. He did his best to communicate the conditions to parents. But he shouldn’t have been in that situation to begin with. Lakota subcontracts those busing services out to avoid these kinds of problems. It would be my suggestion to immediately shop a second source. A single point of failure is a promise that this will happen again. Lakota over this upcoming summer while all these unionized drivers are basking their fat asses on a beach somewhere need to find alternatives. An alternative to Petermann since they obviously don’t have management control over their drivers.

But even better, parents should just take their kids to school and keep those buses empty. Show those drivers just how little they are really needed and let them sit in the parking lots of storefronts wasting time on the clock all day knowing that nobody really needs them. That is the best way to handle this situation. What those bus drivers did was disgusting and their willingness to leave kids without a ride was very disingenuous. And they need to feel a sting of reality from it. Because you can bet dear reader that the moment they think everything has cooled off that they will try it again. It might not be next year, or the year after. It will likely be a new generation of kids that flow through the school system every four years or so. But they will do it again, they’ll ask for money they should be paying the tax payers for the privilege of helping our community children. Since they are members of a socialist labor union, they should already be thinking that way. But as usual with them and the many like them, they are really just out for money and the easiest possible way of making it. And to hell with whomever it hurts in the process.

Why Ohio’s Heartbeat Bill is Good

I wasn’t too hip on him in the beginning but Mike DeWine is turning out to be quite a good governor in my state of Ohio. This past week after the House and Senate put a heartbeat bill on his desk banning abortions once there is a detectable heartbeat, after six weeks or so, he signed it into law. Now Ohio is the fifth state in the country to have such a law and it makes me proud on many levels. Of course there will be court challenges and the liberals are concerned that this will violate their ability to kill as was granted to them with Roe v. Wade, but on a much deeper level than the usual political theatrics, signing such a commitment to life is a dedication to the future of civilization, and it took guts. I often say that I think it is better to kill a child than to condemn them for life under bad parenting. But some children manage to do well, even with the emotional handicaps that they inherit from screwed up parents and over time I have become more rigid on abortion due to the nature of it in the deep psychology of what we should consider the expectations of an advanced culture. No society that calls itself advanced should honor in any way the predicates of death ad that is certainly true at the center of the abortion debate. Anybody who is for abortion is for the mass murder of fellow human beings. There is no such thing as a woman’s right to choose. Bad things happen such as rape or incest which open up the need for more stringent protections of the innocent, mainly the mothers which is a different story. But in regard to abortion, the avocation of killing little babies goes back to a deep dark secret in the human condition that has been there for many thousands of years, and its time we shake it off in favor of advancement.

When considering the Ohio Heartbeat Bill I couldn’t help but think of the Hindu mother-goddess Kali with her long tongue out to lick up the lives and blood of her children while on a murderous rampage. She is the prime example of the sow who eats her farrow, the cannibal ogress who is like the universe itself there to devour all life. A particular problem in most city states throughout time was the notion that sacrifice was needed to advance and this was predominately prevalent in planting cultures which most big cities

throughout time contended with, from Ancient Egypt, Sumer, to the Maya and Aztecs. Particularly the closer to the Equator that any group of individuals resided, the more their cultures embraced cannibal sacrifices to negotiate their observations of how the universe operated. In all existence as we see, the universe springs forth life, but also that same loving spirit consumes us all into death. The only way our primitive minds could deal with such a quandary was to go along with it to get along, so cannibalism and murder became our way as the human species to appease the murderous nature of all existence. In our modern times we have watered down the appeasement into Christianity, we no longer kill our neighbors and enemies to offer as sacrifices, we just go to church and drink the symbolic blood of Christ and eat his body in the form of bread.

We have seen nearly the same embrace of murder as is on full display with the goddess Kali in the Egyptian counterpart of Isis, or the Babylonian Ishtar. The mothers of these cultures are the life givers but they are also the life takers so that is how we have allowed ourselves to think of these things, obviously evolving into the concept of abortion—the killing of a baby so not to burden the mother in her service to the state—career advancement, sexual exploits to keep the mind of mankind off important matters of thought and productivity, or just the fulfillment of the bloodthirsty aims of the abortion industry which was revealed recently by undercover reporters working for Project Veritas. The evil on display is an ancient one, it’s certainly not modern. And it has within it the belief structure that mankind is not in control, but is at the mercy of the universe and must play at the death games to survive just so long to live the play of life that we know of as a human life span.

Personally, I don’t see much difference in the cannibal cultures of the equatorial zones where for a week preceding a massive cannibal ceremony the village will embark on a massive orgy where anything goes with anybody. Then a strikingly beautiful young girl is plucked from the audience and laid under a makeshift temple of heavy logs to have sex with a chosen young male. And once the two have mated and wrapped themselves in the ecstasy of sexual orgasm the giant logs are released and down they come to smash and kill the young bodies while they were at the peak of their embrace. At that point the primitives eat the youth in a vast ceremony and to these people all this is perfectly natural. My thoughts on the matter is that the typical nightclub is doing the same thing to our youth, just in a more watered-down version as Christianity is compared to the human sacrifice demanded by Kali. Yet the beliefs for the action are the same, people believe these things are necessary to advance in life when in all actuality, they aren’t. They are just the musings of primitive minds still stuck in the past.

That is the reason that those who stand against abortion who also find themselves conservative in nature are functioning from a more advanced perspective. Embracing life and giving every new contributor a chance at the greatness of existence is a high concept that doesn’t yield to the nature of a universe that gives and takes continuously, but builds upon itself for continued growth and prosperity, which for human beings is a fairly new concept. The idea that you can take and eat your cake because you made the cake is the truth of the universe due to the creative nature of the human mind, and nothing else. Nowhere that we yet know in the vast universe does this idea exist of creation, that we don’t have to appease some gods just to make it rain, or mimic the death culture of the universe by appeasing it with human sacrifice. We have learned over time, some of us, that the individual nature of every human has within it the ability to unlock new levels of consciousness built upon the desire for creativity by the human mind.

That is why it’s important and refreshing that Ohio Republicans have taken this definitive step. It’s not just in the moral aspects of life that the Heartbeat Bill is deserving of good recognition, but in its bold statement that as a culture we can embrace life, not yield to the whims of a schizophrenic universe whom one moment is giving life, the next, taking it away. Not all mothers are good, many of them complain about their kids all the time and it shows in how the children grow up. In fact, most mothers aren’t good, they are filled with resentments because of their biological whims for which the children were born in the first place which then puts severe limits on their own individual advancements. But the solution to that old cannibal cult is not in abortion, its in other aspects of our culture that need to support women as they continue to bring forth life. Not to surrender to the superstitions of old and just participate in a long line of murder which has become accepted over time for the ruin of many potential lives that will never see the light of day as abortion clinics sell the body parts to the modern cannibals of our day. There is so much wrong with abortion, which makes it that much more heroic that Ohio has taken a stand to support life and its continuation with a heartbeat bill, signed into law by a good-natured governor. There is hope yet that maybe we are finally getting it as a civilization. This was a big step forward.

Julian Assange is an Alley, not an Enemy

I felt bad for Julian Assange after being ripped out of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London after his 7-year asylum there. But it had to end eventually. I know the Embassy well, and understand the geography around it, while visiting it was obvious to me that Assange couldn’t stay there forever. The conditions are better now for his freedom than they were 7 years ago when he had to seek shelter from Ecuador from prosecution over the publication of the Bradley Manning’s classified document disclosures which caused him to be court martialed from the United States Army in 2013. From there the little fella turned himself into a girl and received a pardon from President Obama. But Assange and his Wikileaks was the outlet that published the classified material and authorities have been after Julian since. I’m not supportive of the whole Bradley Manning/Julian Assange relationship, but I became somewhat of a fan during the Trump campaign. I think its safe to say that without Wikileaks, Trump wouldn’t have been able to be elected president, because it was the only fair and balanced media functioning in the world it appears, and that’s what Trump needed, a level playing field which Wikileaks gave him. And as we now know quite well, maybe the secrets that Wikileaks did publish were good after all as we’ve learned just how corrupt the Deep State truly is. I’m all for freedom of the press to keep the bad guys under review. Unfortunately, these days the bad guys in the press are helping the bad guys in the world, so Wikileaks has become something I value.

Honestly, I think extradition to the United States is the best thing for Assange and Wikileaks. Being held up in the Ecuadorian Embassy wasn’t much different from prison, Assange is more effective out fighting than hiding. If I were in the Trump administration, I’d give Assange immunity and hire him to crack open the Deep State. After all, it was Assange who has said that he didn’t get his information on the DNC which was published during the summer of 2016 from the Russians, which was at the heart of the Mueller investigation. So whom did he get it from and can Assange reveal who exactly killed Seth Rich, the Democrat operative who was turning whistleblower before he suddenly ended up dead? There are a lot of bodies that need to fall over the documents revealed by Wikileaks regarding John Podesta and the rest of the DNC for crimes they openly committed, that are much more severe than anything done by the people who were prosecuted within the Trump administration—such as General Flynn and Paul Manafort.

There are some real bad people functioning within the American government who are directly connected to people in the mainstream press and the politics of the Democrat party who need to be brought down and Julian Assange is just the guy to do it. He knows who did what and when which has been no good to any of us with him hiding from trumped-up sex charges in Sweden. Authorities there have been pursuing a rape case against Assange but given what we know about the world of this last decade, I have no illusions that the whole thing was a set-up. Assange should have been careful whom he had sex with, but the rape looks clearly to have bee a set-up from the beginning. Just like the case with the nice kid from Texas Cody Wilson, who was running Defense Distributed. Authorities couldn’t beat him in court, because the kid was too smart so they lingered in the background until the fame and attention went to the young man’s head and he ended up having sex with a sixteen year old girl that he met on SugarDaddyMeet. Once he did that he lost all his leverage as a First and Second Amendment crusader and has been effectively silenced. It is clear that the same kind of thing was going on with Assange. It is the MO of all authority figures.

The bad people of the world aren’t going to stop what they are doing, they live by different rules and they aren’t afraid to let us all know that. If someone like Assange or Wilson steps out of line, they throw the legal book at them because they control the law. What we need Assange for is to check the authorities’ power with real reporting. In the United States the bad guys have taken over the media so they can control what the public learns about their misdeeds and they are after Assange not for any rape that might have occurred, but because Wikileaks is a threat to them. They need to control the message so they need to shut down the voices that are most prone to exploiting them. They aren’t worried about ABC News or NBC, but they are worried about Wikileaks. For the Trump administration, Assange is the best witness to his own innocence that there is, and he is the best outlet for freeing Roger Stone from his own case which is motivated by the same forces—to shut down challenges to the system’s control over the masses.

You don’t have to look hard to see the pattern, whether it is Julian Assange, Roger Stone, or Alex Jones, the system itself which is global in nature is seeking to shut down the most vocal voices against them. In the case of all those people they all have vices which are easy to exploit so authorities use the rules to their own advantage to do so, and hopefully send a message to the rest of us to behave. It’s not going to work, at least not with me. In the case of the names mentioned, they are all smart guys, but as I said, they had vices which the bad guys were able to exploit. Especially in the case of Cody Wilson, a young man suddenly very popular and a desire to have female worship in the form of young girls. But if you really want to win this fight, you can’t have vices. You have to be smarter than the bad guys, and more morally perfect. You can’t give them anything and you have to assume that they are watching you everywhere you go, because they are. They are constantly monitoring your web browsing habits, they watch and track you wherever you go, and they know when you are speeding on the highway. If you give them anything, they will use it against you. If they can get to somebody that you care about and ruin them to get to you, they’ll do it, you better believe it.

That is why I think Trump should cut a deal with Assange and help him with his case in Sweden. Make Assange an ally not a villain and use him to destroy the Deep State, once and for all. Destroy the Democrats by exposing their role in creating the Russian hoax and in the death of Seth Rich. Set the world of corruption on fire by putting a very motivated witness on the stand in Assange and let the whole thing just burn. James Comey, Clapper, Brennon, and the Obama administration in general wanted to burn all of us to the ground, to advance a global objective that was to spread socialism to every corner of the earth. Why not throw it all back at them? Julian Assange is the key in doing so.

How Religion Hides and Helps Marxist Insurgents in America with a Mask of Christianity

How do you know when you hit the target? Well its how people react to it. When you get close in life to the things people want to hide, those most afraid of that information getting out make quite a ruckus, and a nice congratulations to Glenn Beck for doing just that. He went onto the Sean Hannity show and promoted his year-long research into the cause of the migrant caravans flooding the American border with Mexico and he published the results on YouTube hoping that President Trump would take notice and attack the root of the problem instead of the symptom. I’m glad to see it because I have grown apart from Beck over the years even though we both shared a friendship with Doc Thompson. In fact, it got so bad that it strained my friendship with Doc because of Beck’s hatred of Donald Trump. It put Doc in a strange place to be friends with me and his employer Beck. It was a true civil war, Trump supporters against everyone else. But Beck has come around over the last couple of years as many have toward the Trump presidency and its good to see him thinking correctly again. His work on the curious case of the Adalberto Memorial Methodist Church in Chicago was particularly good and worth a look. To understand the money behind the migrant caravans and how they are organized, just watch this video and the murky scenarios of their evolution begin to become quite clear.

https://www.glennbeck.com/theblaze-tv/chalkboard-lesson-chicago-marxists-are-pulling-the-strings-on-the-attack-on-our-border

On more than one occasion I’ve said it. Religions easily spawn dangerous cults, such as the Jim Jones colony back in the 70s. Socialism, communism, and Christianity are very closely related to each other in values so it doesn’t take much for a little church in Chicago to become the conduit for a global enterprise of open borders and a Marxist assault into America from the south. They aren’t alone, and they certainly have help, UNISEF and the United Nations are in on the deal as well, along with many other billionaires besides George Soros, but when it is wondered how these caravans are being organized and nurtured along during their long journey, look no further. We know the answer and Glenn Beck has done the job of reporting with his clip. Of course instantly all the primary outlets for mainstream news attacked the Beck video as a radical conspiracy theory, but the evidence is quite clear. It’s hard for people to see due to their love of religion. The enemy is hiding in plain sight behind our churches and their leaders, but it’s not a mystery as to the cause and effect.

As we’ve discussed many times the plan has always been to perpetuate the poor plight around the world by aggravating their condition with war and poverty so that they would be motivated as a member of the masses to move from wherever they came from to something like what happened in Syria recently or at the American border with Mexico. Displacing people is a military maneuver then hiding the conduct behind churches is not a new idea, but its difficult to act on because as human beings we all have a natural compassion that gets in the way of decisive action. Our Christian tendencies would agree, why not help people who are suffering through difficult conditions. However the question should not be whether or not we should help them, but why do they suffer. What is the root cause of the suffering? And why is it being implemented? In the case of the border insurgents coming from Central America and Mexico the conditions of their origin were deliberately depleted to motivate them into action, which is a strategy of change agency. And the eventual collapse of our welfare, and political system are of the same nature. The attack comes to work its way into our lives through compassion and before you know it, there is no more America. And the enemies of the world will then celebrate. They don’t care how many people die or suffer through their maniacal plan; they only care that it happens.

The connections between Pueblo Sin Fronteras, Adalberto Methodist Church in Chicago and another activist group, Familia Latina Unita become quite evident when viewed through Beck’s reporting. In the video, he connects Pueblo Sin Fronteras founder Emma Lozano to the church and the church to the asylum case of Elvira Arellano and behind all that is a lot of progressive activism and money flowing from dark sources, such as George Soros. And it’s no surprise that all this is going on in Chicago, one of the most progressive and dangerous cities in the world. If you just visit downtown you likely won’t see what’s carefully hidden from view. You can shop and visit the historic sites without being shot, but go just a little south or to the west in that vast progressive landscape between the city and the O’Hara airport and you’ll get a sense of it. And many of the most radical activists born out of that very Marxist culture get channeled into activism through little churches like the Adalberto Methodist Church at 2716 W Division St, Chicago, Illinois 60622. Many think its impossible for such a little church to be at the center of so much controversy and could lead such an invasion into America from even a remote location. But that is because it’s hard for those same people to see the intentions of malice that is hidden behind many churches who are really advocating Marxism socially and secretly. The teachings of Christ are easily adapted to the motivations of social insurgents, so it doesn’t take long for revolutionaries against American capitalism to organize under the crosses of Christ. Just never forget that the cross is a symbol of death and resurrection, not of prosperity. The metaphor behind many radical churches across America and the world in general is that death on earth is the goal with a resurrection in heaven, and many of these progressives are thus motivated. They don’t care that people suffer in the here and now, it’s actually expected. They believe what they teach. That’s how they sell such suffering to themselves.

I personally believe that having religious values is better than not having them. People without values are even more dangerous, so I would not advocate giving up religion or going to church if that is all that holds you together dear reader. But understand what they are trying to teach you, and have been since before the times of Christ. Understand that the goals of most religions in the world are not redemption for the soul carrying itself into the afterlife, it’s for the control of the people in the here and now. Capitalism by itself is a very moral concept which frees people from this delusion and the enemies of that concept of course do not like that people are free to find heaven on earth and to see it the way Jesus actually taught. The goal of the progressive is to change the world into misery so that people are motivated into following them on a sick and twisted path concealed behind what they call good intentions, but the real motives are to destroy independence and thought.

It’s nice to see Glenn Beck back in action. I’m sure a story like this was hard for him because he is a religious person. It’s also why he couldn’t see the value of Donald Trump in the beginning. Trump for me was a kind of King David or Solomon Biblical figure for our modern times. Not a moral man, a person who made a lot of mistakes but had learned to act correctly through his life to be just what we needed as a modern President for these very confusing times. It took Beck a while to see what the rest of us knew all along. But I’m glad he found his way to the truth. He is just another good example of how the truth is often hidden from us for analysis behind the things we hold dear, such as the religion of Christianity. Everyone on all sides believe they are doing the right things. The people of the United Methodist Church network certainly do, they believe that the teachings of Christ mean giving up a love of material possessions and helping people, especially the poor. But what gets ignored in these crusades is why people are poor, or why they need help to begin with. And that answer is often hidden from view and is where the real malice resides. So the reminder should persist, remember, Jesus was murdered because he was a threat to the system of control at that time. Much of his real message was lost over time by political activists who then controlled the churches. And that is why death is the focus of most modern religion and why so much suffering persists. Once you come to terms with that you will be able to see easily that these churches are not our friends, but our enemies and the way they attack us is through our compassion and empathy while all along they are the causes of the suffering to begin with.

The Rise and Fall of Civilizations

I did manage to get to the Egypt: Time of the Pharaohs exhibit at the Cincinnati Museum Center and enjoyed it quite a lot. It was very well done as most of those exhibits are and I managed to learn a few new things which is always fun. I compare those experiences always to the museums of The British Museum of London and the Louvre in Paris as kind of e benchmark of excellence. While the Cincinnati Museum is not as large as those in other cities, the quality is every bit as good, if not much higher, especially after the 2 and a half years restoration project of Union Terminal that was just completed. Aside from the great museum in Cairo the British Museum and the Louvre have excellent sections on just Egypt so that is the standard I measure everything against. And with that in mind I spent a few hours going through it with my two daughters and we had a great time. I’d recommend it to anyone, even those casually interested.

I’m not particularly impressed with Egyptian culture, but we cannot ignore them, they had a culture that lasted over eight thousand years and three of those were in a high city-state existence with very complicated social structures, so they were obviously doing something correctly. But I can’t help but see the pattern in their society whether it be the Indus Valley, the various dynasties in China, the Maya, the Aztecs, the Romans, the English, all societies go through their own version of the Vico Cycle and end up surprisingly thriving one moment in geological time, then abandoned and back to being hunters and gathers. It is certainly my proposal that is precisely what happened in North America once the Europeans started officially settling in the “New World.” By the time Christopher Columbus landed likely the Egyptians, the Phoenicians, the Vikings, the Celts, the Chinese and who knows whoever else had risen and fallen many times over and what was left were the basics of human experience in the form of hunters and gathers. The Indians as they were called were not a sophisticated human development, but a failed one that was clinging to their pasts through oral tradition, but in reality, they were back to the mud huts of their antiquity. We could look at the living conditions of the outskirts of modern-day Chicago and declare we are headed presently in the same direction.

And the cause of it all was quite clear painted on a wall at the Egypt exhibit for which I took the picture shown here, of the pyramid style cultural model that many of us so much understand subconsciously. The idea of a king/god at the top and a bunch of worker bees at the bottom which support all that is above them. I would contend that while it is true that such a structure allowed societies to maintain themselves for many years, from thousands of years such as the Egyptians experienced to just a few hundred as was the case of the English. The advantage of the west was that there was a structure which the Orientals often copied through trade that provided sustenance in organized city states, but at a cost to individual rights. While most societies knocked on the door to the concept of individual rights, they often missed the mark until the idea for a new model came about under the American invention where there wasn’t supposed to be a god like king or a society of servants who knew their place in the scheme of things and were happy to contend themselves to it.

Looking at that same pyramid model of society from the American point of view would result in totally different outcomes. In America an individual can marry or work at any level they desire. The printing press took away the power of the High Priests of previous cultures and put the power of knowledge in the hands of individuals and the ability to have gun ownership took away the need of the state to defend the individual. Those two inventions of thought destroyed the typical power structure of all previous societies and started something new. Unfortunately, it goes against thousands and thousands of years of human programing. We may have invented a new form of social structure, but our innate habits have not yet adapted them to reality. We still hear daily in politics that we are all supposed to be “middle class” citizens and that we need the guidance of the “upper class” to guide us through our lives from birth to death. That is after all the very structure accepted in modern-day Washington D.C. The great tragedy from those who support that structure is that Donald Trump is the evidence that anybody can rise to the top. The premise of the college scandals we are hearing about in the news presently is the fall from grace that the “uppers” can’t just buy their way into society, that merit is the way its supposed to be in America. There are many who are struggling with the very concept of individual growth as opposed to tiered structures such as the Egyptians had.

I would offer that the reason that the Egyptians did last so long, just as Europe has under Roman Catholicism was that they managed to hold their societies together through superstition and mere belief due to the fact that most of their lower class people were stupid—that they couldn’t read or obtain information for themselves, nor could they defend any property they acquired. They needed the power of the state to do that. And in the vacuum of those long periods of state development great attributes such as roads and plumbing became standard, as did the arts of thought, writing, performing, and oral traditions which preserved their emerging society in a way that could be studied later, and was beneficial. But also was the evolution to the individual, the divorce from group think into the realization of individualized power, for which America became. Often when societies have arrived at this juncture in the past, they fell apart, and did not keep it together long enough to last. Without other nations to conquer and the fear of the gods coming to destroy everyone if they didn’t sacrifice their family cat, advanced societies just didn’t know what the aim of life was but to defend it from the possibility of death, and that kept their societies at least focused on their own societal self-preservation.

But it’s always a short-lived gain. The real mark of a proper society is how well it taps into the individual characteristics of its people and although Europe for the most part was quite ominous in its king state behaviors, which were direct descendents of the Egyptians and many others who came before, the society of western civilization itself did give rise to the power of the individual, of the ability to marry whom one wanted and to pursue a career of their own making. This was a major transition of thought that many struggle with even today. But it is the superior guidepost of an advanced society. While the Egyptians had done many things correctly in their thousands of years of reign on planet earth, they missed the mark on the key to all human endeavor, the right of the individual to function from its own bliss. They were knocking on the door especially with their concepts of arriving into their own deaths, but the higher concept was that heaven was always here on earth and it only took their own minds to see it. We should admire what the Egyptians were able to achieve over an eight-thousand-year period, but more than that we should then conclude what America has achieved in just over 200 years. And it is that perspective which we should all carry into the future. Because that is the one that counts the most—achievement. Not where we reside on a ladder of perceptive power.

“Sawed Off Shotguns”

Sure you have a right to be angry dear reader. They have been lying to you. All these climate losers who are trying to propose that the world is coming to an end in just 12 years from this point in time are the types of people who are the premier examples of why drugs in our society should be illegal. Because they are dumb. Dangerously dumb. They don’t understand climate science, they trust scientists are part of the problem and don’t see how academia has been corrupted by a lift leaning political class. To understand the type of people who are falling for these schemes I wouldn’t go so far to make fun of them, because I honestly don’t think they understand much about life. To understand them I recommend listening to the song by The Glorious Sons titled “Sawed Off Shotgun.” Those types of people reflected in that very below the line song are those who are getting suckered by the climate change advocates. They have grown up stupid and crippled intellectually making them victims to every little ailment and its sad to see, but it is they who are now functioning as voters and democratic participants in our culture, and a lot of them, way too many of them are hooked on OxyContin just as the song states.

Even if the United States adopted all the climate measures proposed by these radical new Green Deal advocates, China and Russia as well as most of India and the rest of the world all the way over to the Mediterranean Sea will continue polluting at an alarming rate and none of them, especially China is about to give up anything to halt the expansion of their economies. They are going to pollute in great abundance. The only thing that needs to be understood about the entire Green New Deal nonsense is that the goal is to attempt to stop the American economy so that the other economies of the world can gain strength. You won’t see any of these green advocates protesting China, because communism is their goal anyway. They aren’t protesting Russia, if they did most of them would be killed. No, they protest America because that is the big dog economy and they want to end it. That is the game and to get everyone to forget how the game is played they have created a society of drug induced losers who know they are being played but don’t know how to step away and to end the cycle.

I had a pretty good day a few days ago, it was nice outside so I took the long way home and drove about 100 MPH down the road listening to the “Sawed Off Shotgun” song on my car stereo while I listened to Sean Hannity on my phone. It was an interesting contrast of thought processes that came together quite nicely. Watching that music video for that song I couldn’t help but feel sorry for the audience. They know they are being manipulated and toyed with politically. They know they have been drug induced to be suckers in a society that has hostile elements trying to penetrate it for the destruction of all American influence, but they don’t know how to deal with it but through more cigarettes and alcohol to drown out the effects. I’ve noticed this trend in other musical artists of this generation, they understand that there is a game being played, but they don’t know who to trust, literally. Their minds have been robbed from them and they are defenseless in a scary world. If someone tells them the world is coming to an end in 12 years of course it scares them. They are purposely too stupid to know better.

But that’s the only way it works. You have to be stupid and deliberately void of an understanding of current events to believe that liberals really want to save the planet from a path of 12-year destruction. It’s as much of a hoax as saying that Santa Clause will be president of the United States in 2028. It’s just not in the realm of possibility. The only way anybody could believe such a thing is to get hooked on some drug and to numb your mind to such a degree that you can’t process any real information. And currently much of the youth, people under 30, are in the state represented in that music video and they are truly victims of reality, because they have been taught to be that way. They are losing it and they want to protest but they have no idea where to direct their anger. They have been lied to by everyone and now they are supposed to participate in our republic to keep it going and all they can think to do is to take another drink and talk about getting a sawed-off shotgun. For what we have no idea, but the idea of it gives them a little strength to even pose the proposition.

And so it was in my experience in listening to that song while Sean Hannity laid out the case of the phony Mueller investigation that if I didn’t know better, I could see how people would fall into that trap of believing all the Green New Deal garbage. So since those people don’t know any different I feel confident to assure them that the earth will still be here 12 years from now. Humans don’t have much of a measurable impact on any climate conditions. Climate change is a natural condition that will happen long into the future and it occurred long before humans were ever on the scene. The goal in attempting to connect climate change with powerful economies is only to stop the growth of capitalism so that the world will turn toward communism. Communism is the way of life in China and the left still hopes that it will take root in the West so that is all there is to the climate change arguments. They (the left) hope that enough people are hooked on so much OxyContin and are afraid of the tax man that they won’t question the nature of the Green New Deal. They’ll just follow along and direct their sawed off shotguns at the Trump administration instead of the liars and cheats that are so dominate in the Democrat party.

But the anger is real, the way that young people feel, it is not misplaced. They know someone is lying to them. They are at least that smart even though their minds have been deliberately clipped just like some caged bird so that they can’t fly away. I don’t like the words of that song, but I do like the spirit. People understand that something is happening and they literally don’t know who to trust. So I offer this much, you can trust that the world will be here at 2030 and climate change will have no impact on the state of it. Rather, we’ll be traveling to Mars and settling other destinations in space. And things will be better tomorrow than they are today, especially if you let the Trump administration do their work. The entire premise of the climate change argument is to gain power and I think people are rebellious enough to see through that. Maybe not consciously, but their innate instincts are correct, and so long as they keep asking those questions, everything will be alright. Just make sure to stay away from OxyContin and alcohol and the world will make a lot more sense.

We Are All Being Suckered

Among the protestors at the border wall visit by President Trump at El Centro in California was a person holding a sign referencing that “love had no borders.” It reminded me of the hippie mantra that has been around for quite some time about how private property in America should be abandoned so that communism ideas could be utilized in a giant fenceless world like it was when the Indians had the run of the planet and were dancing just to make it rain. The premise of this borderless world that is being proposed is nothing short of ridiculous, and it ignores many basic foundations that are part of any relationship with reality. The truth is quite the opposite from what was on that sign from the Trump protestor. Love demands borders, not the other way around. Borders indicate value in something and a means to protect it from a lack of value. Without a border, there is no value, and that is precisely the same conditions present in all relationships. There needs to be a barrier of some kind to keep out the rif raf. If everything is always open, then there is no value for what is the foundation of any relationship.

This actually says a lot about liberalism in general. Where conservatives get into trouble is when they start accepting the same premise, as we all get that exposure in our basic religions. I grew up pretty involved in the Christian ideas for things but had to draw a line once I realized how bad and socialist many of the ideas about a mainstream religion were at the foundations. To be a good Christian means that you have to be a bit of a socialist. I wouldn’t say that I gave up religion, only that I outgrew it. I personally couldn’t live with the schizophrenic nature of religion, so I had to move on to more individualized concepts. The idea that is proposed in most religions is the same nonsense advocated in most political societies, a non-value judgement in loving your neighbor as yourself. The whole turn the other cheek ridiculousness is just stupid. It says that no matter what someone does we are not supposed to judge them for it and that we are supposed to provide love without consequence. That of course doesn’t make any sense so I have abandoned all those foundations of thought in my life. And you have to in order to understand the necessity for a border wall. This is exactly how Republicans have been suckered into helping the borderless world advocates advance their cause, by accepting the Christian ideas of loving our neighbors as ourselves no matter what value the neighbor brings to the table.

Democrats are quite audacious when they are proposing that California be a sanctuary state, that the illegal nature of immigration be ignored completely and the laws that are currently in place be looked over as if they weren’t even there. It’s laughable really. What makes them thing that they can ignore rules about the American border but that the rest of us are going to obey their rules on something like gun control? They have completely advocated for breaking the law in regard to immigration yet every time there is an excuse they seek more rules on gun control thinking that somehow we are all going to just fall in line and obey a bunch of new rules that they propose. It’s all very ridiculous, and ignorant. They think what they do about us because of their experience, that we tend to be nice law biding people and even when they act poorly we forgive them and let them off the hood from their bad behavior. This as every spoiled brat knows is how respect is lost for all authority and the value is cheapened to the point of chaos. The Christian teachings for which the Roman Empire first fought, then advocated for enjoyed the idea because it made it easier to control the people of their empire under common themes, but it certainly didn’t help individuals have value for each other.

Just imagine if someone wanted to go across the border in China, or Russia? Wouldn’t anybody advocate for open borders there? Absolutely not. Does anybody think they could swim over into Japan and just start walking around unchecked? 100% not. The only reason illegal immigration is advocated in the United States if due to the fact that the Democrats want them in their political party and they want to undo the premise of value for which the United States has been built. Democrats are not for America, they are for its undoing. But before conservatives can act on that knowledge they have to understand the nature of the open border concept.

Love can’t happen unless there is value behind it. Nobody can tell another person that they love them without a basic understanding of the value behind those words. It’s not by any accident that when communists were trying to penetrate American culture at the level of our college campuses that free love was the means of establishing roots in our culture. People like sex so if the idea of sex without value could be established then Americans would accept other quandaries of the same nature, and eventually this whole borderless world concept might be accepted. But people learned as they still are, that relationships without value do not work, even if it’s just sex that is the foundation. Anybody at anytime can’t just walk into a bedroom and start having sex. Generally, among humans there has to be boundaries of trust that are proposed and the walls to personal access are only lowered when those boundaries are trusted, then sex can happen. But to say that everyone should just love their neighbor and love them no matter what that neighbor does is just stupid. It ignores all the basic laws of value which is then defined by love.

Like that protestor, most of us function every day with a mix of messages that we get from various aspects of cultural development. Some of those ideas come from our religions. Some from our political nature, from our entertainment, from our upbringing. But in most of those cases these days the influence of long generations of war have left us fragmented in what we believe. The staunch Republican who understands the need for private property and capital investments into making our economy grow are also those who go to church on Sunday and are told to act like socialists and to chastise those who make money and if you do have a lot of money that the only way you can get into Heaven is to give it all away. So we are also told that these illegal immigrants are poor and that we are supposed to all welcome them with open arms and ignore that ridiculous border. But while we are focused on all that we don’t pay attention to why those people were poor to begin with, that they were made that way by the political systems currently in place to attack our border and our concepts of civilization for the advancement of valueless ideas. And once we accept that nutty idea we would accept the political structure behind it. A destruction of the foundations America was built upon and the acceptance of a one world nation ran by liberalism. That is their dream, but to get it we have to accept that love has no meaning or borders and that to be good Christians we must give everything up, including our country for the betterment of a world in need so that we can all get into Heaven. And for that we are all being played as suckers.

The Very Unfair Treatement of Boeing by Loser Politicians

As I said when this all first started, Boeing was being treated very unfairly when it had its planes grounded for the 737 MAX after the crash of the Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 which killed 157 people. As is the trend of the world, those most responsible for everything are those doing something and in this day and age in vilifying corporations to the whims of every below the line thinker in existence, Boeing has been getting a very raw deal. I have contended that the cause of the crash and that of the Lion Air 737 which crashed in October of 2018 was not the fault of the plane, but of the pilots who were grossly inexperienced due to their countries of origin. It’s not as if the pilots in these developing countries have had the benefit of a great military career as fliers to become pilots of these giant flying buses. In a lot of ways they are training for these jobs in the way that some people train for a new fast food job in the United States. The pressure to fulfill the market needs of countries that do not have a deep history with emerging technologies, such as airplane flight, is to put more computer automation into the flight scenarios. We expect too much out of the automation and as in the case of these two 737 MAX 8 crashes, the pilots just weren’t experienced enough to overcome faulty sensors that threw off the autopilot capabilities of the craft. An over reliance on computers is the real problem, and that will happen again in the industry. When mechanical things fail, as they often do, there needs to be a good pilot on hand to help overcome the situation, especially on a big complicated craft hauling around so many people. There are just too many opportunities for error not to have experienced, well-trained pilots flying these airplanes and the countries where these airlines are located just don’t have a history of working with technology, so it’s quite a challenge.

Granted Airbus has the same challenges, and they haven’t been exposed to crashes like what Boeing has experienced. If Boeing is guilty of anything its in expecting that pilots reading their manuals would know how to overcome simple in cockpit problems such as autopilot malfunctions because in the United States most of the airline pilots have a history in either military or civilian aviation. There is a culture in place in America that produces pilots and Boeing is used to servicing the industry from that vantage point. However, the airline industry is growing tremendously over the next 20 years with a predicted rate of need for roughly 37,400 new aircraft to be built over that time span and most of that growth is in emerging markets, so if Boeing wants to compete in that global demand, it has to build planes that very average pilots can fly, and that is the real cause of these tragedies, trying to compensate for massive inexperience and the airlines needs to put pilots in planes that can essentially fly themselves. Airbus has perhaps been more successful in achieving that demand, but Boeing pushed their 737 MAX technically adding to the variables. The Boeing plane is a great product, but is it ready to fly itself without a pilot, probably not.

But as I said three weeks ago when the planes were first grounded, the financial cost to Boeing is and will continue to be catastrophic and what’s pathetic is that nobody seems to care. Certainly not the loser politicians who have been advocating law suits and further punishments against Boeing. The company itself is losing billions of dollars with this grounding in cancelled contracts and the hefty price tag of $60 million per day in lost revenue across the industry with the roughly 400 so far delivered 737 MAX jets sitting on the ground doing nothing. There are orders for 5000 more 737 MAX planes to be built over that 20 year span, and if those orders convert over to Airbus, it will be devastating for the Boeing Company, because their preparation for this next generation of aircraft sales has been this particular market approach.

What has been so foolish is the assumption that Boeing is so rich as a company that they can afford this grounding, and all the law suits that are being tossed in their direction due to the deaths of the people on those two crashed flights that have caused this grounding. Boeing reported $10.5 billion in profits in 2018 which is consistent with previous years, but what nobody seems to understand is that playing the airplane building game is expensive. Sure $10 billion dollars sounds like a lot of money, but it evaporates quickly in a publicly traded company that has so many top-heavy expenses. Boeing sells each MAX 8 aircraft at a price tag of $92.2 million each. It only takes ten airplanes to generate $1 billion dollars. But we aren’t talking about selling popcorn here, there are massive expenses into building these planes and the margins have to be decent to leverage the company against the enormous costs of when things go wrong during the manufacturing process, such as labor strikes, supply shortages, and delivery problems. It doesn’t take long to suck up $10 billion dollars in profit when the scale of manufacturing is so high. So when people say that Boeing is a rich company that can afford to give up their profits for every little complaint, they don’t understand the situation at all. The cost to the company isn’t just another excuse for liberal wealth redistribution hidden behind a veil of safety, it is a perilous drain of projected financial resources that the company has been counting on to justify decades of investment that they have made to bring this MAX 8 plane to life so that countries like Malaysia and Ethiopia can have an opportunity to even have an airline industry. It is very disingenuous to put all the blame on Boeing and expect them to pay the price for what essentially amounts to poorly trained pilots by the airlines operating in these developing countries who themselves rushed to market without being truly prepared.

There isn’t room for airline crashes and they should never happen. When people purchase a plane ticket, they should never expect to crash and die. The regulations in the industry are understandably rigorous, and that is part of the enormous cost of compliance that also eats into the profits of a company like Boeing just for being in the business. If the FAA had become a little cozy with Boeing that is not the fault of anybody. Without Boeing, the FAA has very little to do, they need each other so understandably relationships need to be productive. To expect a regulatory agency to impose itself further on a company like Boeing is ridiculous. Only people not used to making anything in life would think a tighter regulatory environment is productive. The bottom line in this case of the grounded 737 MAX 8 planes is that Boeing was trying to deliver a plane that needed to essentially fly itself because the pilots were not able to do it themselves. The pilots were too dependent on automated systems, and that may be the demand of tomorrow’s market, but it should be understood that the learning curve is going to be demanding and mistakes will happen. When mistakes do happen, experienced and well-trained pilots need to be there to save the day. And in the case of these crashes, they weren’t which was the fault of the airlines which put those planes in the air. Boeing isn’t making yet planes that fly themselves. They are trying, but the technology just isn’t there yet. But the cost of these political groundings to them has been catastrophic and very unfair to. And it’s a shame that more people just don’t understand what all this has done to a great American company. But then again, maybe they do.
