Sheriff Jones is Right about Security at Liberty Center: The Mall needs to hire big, tough guys to bust scum bags and criminal losers

Before we get too far along on this one, just remember the management of the Liberty Center complex in Butler County, Ohio—you had to be told to reopen the playground after COVID.  You didn’t do it alone; you had to be talked to.  There were a lot of moms who wanted to take their kids out to the mall, and there were lots of moms who wanted to talk to other moms and enjoy the benefits of the excellent food court there.  But for almost a year too long, after the rest of the world came back on after all the dumb Covid lockdowns, Liberty Center still had the lights out at the playground and marked it off as closed because of fear of the local health agencies getting angry over it.  So, the management of the Liberty Center Mall complex is not the brightest in the world; they are following the same destructive woke policies as everyone else.  What makes Liberty Center great is its location, and the people who have fled all the blue-run areas in Cincinnati settled in the region around Liberty Center because they don’t want to be impacted by a bloated, intrusive government.  I love Liberty Center; we always go there as a family.  I think it’s a wonderful thing to have in our community.  But it could be vastly improved if management was better.  Just think of how much lost money occurred because they were too slow to open the playground.  I didn’t say anything about it at the time or my role in it because I didn’t want to embarrass them.  However, regarding this recent Sheriff Jones story, there is some history of woke management practices from corporate firms getting their marching orders outside of our community, and that is a problem we need to discuss. 

You might have heard, and I agree with him absolutely on this one, Sheriff Jones is charging Liberty Center for the reward money that ended up capturing a couple of shoplifters who were caught by some excellent police work done at Dick’s Sporting Goods.  Based on the evidence presented, a couple of women look to have taken several thousands of dollars in theft.  And this is a national trend everywhere these days, especially in communities particularly impacted by the rhetoric of Marxism that believes private property should be abolished, and one of their methods of social destruction is to find suckers who will then turn to the streets and rob property owners of their goods and services.  Sheriff Jones has to send a message that Butler County is not open for crime because it isn’t.  I have noticed that there are a lot of gang bangers and criminal thugs who have been flocking from regions around to the glory and sentiment of Butler and Warren Counties due to this same Marxist trend.  These criminal-minded types believe that if affluent people have something, then they have a right to take it.  So, if we don’t crack down on even the most minor infraction, word will get out that Butler County is an excellent place to go and commit crime.  And we can’t have that.  So these women had to be arrested for being caught doing what they did at Dick’s Sporting Goods.  Sheriff Jones needed to make an example of them.  And he knows it because I’ve told him.  It’s not because we don’t have enough police to cover the job.  We do, and then some.  But if he needs help, I have my hand way up.  There was a gun store near my home that was recently hit with a break-in, and I would like to see that kind of behavior discouraged intensely.  Civilian oversight is the ultimate backstop on these kinds of things.  So it’s not just this recent theft at Liberty Center; there is a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes that indicates a larger crime spree brewing by the actions of Democrat policies from everywhere.  And we have to meet it with aggression; otherwise, it will just get worse.

Sheriff Jones is sending the bill for his police work to Liberty Center to pay, and I think that is a good idea, given the situation.  I would advise the Liberty Center management to drop all the woke garbage and get on to the Make America Great Again plan.  That’s where the rest of the world is heading after this next election, and it will be very costly to cling to any form of wokeness very shortly.  I would get rid of the skinny pants mall cops who are allowing too much riff-raff to form there.  The Mall is private property, so they can tell people to leave.  Failure to do that will result in the same fate as Tri-County Mall to the south and Forest Fair Mall to the west along I-275.  People stopped going to those malls because of the thugs and crime that occurred.  Mall management was slow and reluctant to draw the line because they didn’t want to end up in court over profiling issues, which is not something that will hold up to legal scrutiny.  If the security at Liberty Center intends to break up a group of three or more dangerous-looking teenage kids from just looking stupid, they can.  And they should.  If Liberty Center security does not protect the moms who like to go to the mall with their children, then what happened to other malls in the country will occur to Liberty Center, too. 

I would suggest hiring the kind of security guards at the GOP Lincoln Day Dinner a year or so ago when Ron DeSantis came to speak.  To get into the event, they had huge, muscle-bound tough guys between 6’2” to 6’5”.  They were huge and menacing, which I thought was too much for that kind of event.  But they were trying to make a point for a person running for president.  Anthony Munoz from the Cincinnati Bengals was right behind me, and he looked like a baby being patted down by these guys to go through security.  They were too much for that event, but I would hire them to do the same security at Liberty Center.  They may cost more for wages, but they will more than make up their worth in added lease space and dollars generated.  If people don’t feel safe, they won’t go to the mall, and moms set the family schedule.  To avoid criminal scum bags and those looking like they want to be those types, moms will stay home with their kids and order from Amazon.  So mall security must protect those who go on a limb to invest in a brick-and-mortar store.  That is their first and most important function, not in being fair to everyone and not profiling losers and bums but creating an atmosphere that makes moms feel safe.  I would hire serious, tough guys who project confidence and will back it up with action.  And if Liberty Center Mall security punts to the local police departments, then they should pay for the cost of good police work.  I would encourage Sheriff Jones to get rich by doing so because it is worth the money to crack down on crime.  Otherwise, and this is the Marxist political plan by encouraging all these dumb people to commit crimes in the first place, there won’t be any money left to steal.  Petty crimes and significant crimes need to be prosecuted aggressively.  Otherwise, society will fall apart quickly, especially at Liberty Center in Butler County, Ohio.  It’s OK to be mean to scum bags and criminals.  And I’d suggest that Liberty Center listen to Sheriff Jones and do their jobs as required.

Our Government Tried to Kill Trump: Where the evidence takes us and what we know about the types of people involved

So, the evidence points to the real killers who tried to assassinate Trump were government employees who used their power to set the opportunity up, much the way it took us over 60 years to figure out after the Kennedy assassination.  The approach was almost identical, with a first and second shooter, a set-up man to take the fall, and the timeline with intent.  We have enough evidence already with the attempted Trump assassination to see that the action involved far many more people than just a 20-year-old trans kid who rode a bicycle to the killing and magically had a sniper rifle there with the scope all zeroed in considering wind direction and drop from that distance.  A lot of snipers say that a shot from that distance was not difficult, but this is a very young and inexperienced shooter, and if Trump had not turned his head during that speech in Butler, Pennsylvania, it would have hit him perfectly in the side of the head.  It was a pretty good shot as far as shots were concerned.  Even with an excellent scope, Trump’s head would have looked very small from that distance.  People were walking around everywhere, pointing out that he was on the roof.  Security took notice and tried to interact with him.  It’s quite clear that the shooter knew he was never going to come down off that roof alive and that he had to get his shot off quickly.  But quickly, in this case, was an open window of about half an hour.  So who created the time in the schedule with security to allow him to get a shot off, let alone up to 8 before other snipers on other roofs were able to kill him?  They had known where to shoot because they had been looking at him.  Once Trump went down, about 20 seconds went by, and they removed the shooter from consideration, thinking he had performed the kill shot.  That is until Trump stood up and defiantly pumped his fist in the air.  And at that moment, a lot of people got tangled up in this assassination attempt, and they had to cover their tracks quickly.

Nobody wanted to think that the government, whether it’s a combination of FBI, Secret Service, CIA, or anybody else, could or would kill an American president.  One of the reasons there has been so much skepticism over the Kennedy killing was that people couldn’t believe their government would perform such an evil task.  And when we say government, we are talking about government workers who form bonds with others and consider themselves a 4th branch of unelected government.  And they act on behalf of that branch of government.  To understand those people’s personalities, we must remember the statements of the two lovers, Lisa Page and Peter Strzok, as she asked him what the FBI would do about Trump if he were elected in 2016, and Peter assured her that they’d stop him.  And it wasn’t just him; I remember when I was on CNN giving my opinion about the FBI boss, James Comey, which turned out to be completely accurate, even though, at the time, the media wanted to portray him as a Boy Scout.  He was far from that; he was a radicalized killer who lied openly to people who questioned him, and he steered the FBI toward acting on behalf of serving the Democrat party.  Since then, we have seen the FBI directly involved in the Russia scandal, paid for by Democrats, and given legs directly by the FBI to destroy Trump and his four years in the White House ruthlessly.  And, of course, we have seen the open participation in election fraud, which we now know occurred everywhere, especially in the swing states.  Their fingerprints are all over the January 6th event, so there is a lot of reason not to trust them, which they have provided in abundance. 

Nobody thought Trump would survive all the lawsuits and attempts to wipe away Trump financially and morally by this point.  But after he survived those last court cases and the legal position started to turn in favor of Trump, it was evident that the Deep State was going to do anything it had to do to get rid of him.  They had avoided trying to kill him up to that point, but here we were just a few months out, Trump was ahead in polling, and Democrats had no answer.  So we know that this lone shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, had several cell phones, very little social media presence, had contact with people in other countries, and had visited people in Washington, D.C., near the FBI building before the killing.  It is not exactly the typical life of a 20-year-old kid.  At this point, the only thing someone has to overcome to accept the vast amounts of evidence that are coming in on this case, which we have enough already to draw profound conclusions, is whether or not the kid was willing to die for his cause knowingly.  He was.  And he wasn’t alone in the effort.  There are lots of radicalized people who are eager to destroy their own lives, thinking that what they are doing is for some greater good from their perspective. And when the shooter climbed on that roof, lots of people in security and the police community let him do it for an extended period, even with people from the Trump rally screaming about the guy on the roof with the gun for several minutes, more than enough time to stop him.  Ultimately, those efforts were stopped by Trump turning his head ever so slightly, causing the bullet to miss and the assassination to be avoided.

For the context to understand the vast evil of this case, all we have to do is go back to the words of Lisa Page and her FBI lover Peter Strzok, when they believed at the top of the FBI that they had the ability and the right to stop Trump with any force available.  And they acted on it, as revealed in their text messages.  And when the new head of the FBI testified this past week, the end of July 2024, that other FBI agents wished that the bullet had hit Trump, a clear pattern emerges.  So, we have a very destructive taxpayer-funded culture of killers who are perfectly willing to use their government power to take out political rivals to the Democrat party.  And all the proof points to them in setting up a shooter to take the fall for the open assassination attempt on national television of Trump.  Whether it’s the FBI, the CIA, or Homeland Security, we are still putting all that together.  But it certainly was a combination of these employees, joining together as sympathetic rebels against the people’s wishes in a republic to preserve the power they held and a future designed by other people outside of American borders.  Yet the evidence does not point to a lone gunman, but a kid pushed along by powerful forces for the preservation of that power in any way possible.  The kid did not act alone.  If Trump had not taken quick action to save himself and duck out of the line of fire, we would have never known what we had been learning in the weeks after.  These are things that have taken us over 60 years to learn about the Kennedy assassination.  Because Trump was not killed, this time, the killers were caught in the aftermath.  And that reality is one they can’t escape from; it’s embarrassing, ruthless, and genuinely frightening from an institutional perspective.  And now we must act on the knowledge of the event that we possess.  The responsibility for justice falls on our shoulders and history will judge us accordingly.

Making The Noose Great Again: Punishing the bad guys with capital punishment

In reaction to many of the things I have been saying and predicting about our present society, people are strongly inclined toward Making America Great Again by Making the Noose Great Again.  The courts have been shown, which I would argue they never were properly working, to be only good for leftist Marxist ideology.  Frontier justice, where hanging for crimes committed against a community, gave people a level of satisfaction that satisfied communities, and their work toward a justice-driven society is being yearned for.  Even though we may look back upon Western expansion with reverence and ideas of romance, in living freely, there were a lot of problems that are much better in our present conditions.  We don’t have to worry about Indian attacks or picking up unknown diseases every few feet.  Our lifespan today is much longer than they used to be.  We have considered that we are much more sophisticated now than when capital punishment was as common as a sunset.  But, the general feeling is that people behave concerning each other if something they might do might come across as an offense that could lead to their untimely death.  If a criminal was caught before Western expansion had traveling judges to enact law and order, hanging the bad guys, happened all the time.  And without it, there would have been no ability to have a growing society.  When people talk about the evils of Western expansion, again, it’s the political left, the same losers who are behind pornography, international financing, abortion, pot smoke, and welfare programs who were against it and think the Indians should still be in charge of a teepee and dancing in some field to make it rain.  Much of what they have brought the world through the pages of Karl Marx has been ridiculously stupid, and people are slowly admitting to just how bad it has been.  And they are ready to make some changes.

https://gettr.com/post/p363cad6cf8

I’ve been to court many times and have known many lawyers and judges.  I want to like them.  I like the idea of a courtroom to be respected.  I love our various state and federal constitutions and think a law-and-order society is the only way. Strict enforcement of the law is how you protect the kinds of values that make a society work.  But, and this is a big butt, a suburban mom who votes for tax levies for corrupt leftist government schools big, we were a better society when we had dueling.  I think of Alexander Hamilton’s duel with Aaron Burr and the many duels that President Andrew Jackson had over his lifetime; we were a much more respectful society when bad behavior was called out to satisfaction and carried out with seconds there to represent the effort.  If people hadn’t worked out their differences before one of them ended up dead, they may have ended up friends for life.  That was a much better way to solve conflicts than what we have now, where crimes are punted to the state, and the state processes their punishment through the legal system.  The state, what happens to most things the government touches, messes everything up, and the only people who benefit are the state in confiscating wealth and redistributing it to people who don’t deserve it.  The courts and their lawyers make all the money off conflict resolution.  Then, the worst thing that can happen to a criminal is they are locked up in prison, which then makes them parasites on society for that duration.  Someone has to feed them, and the general hope is that they might be reformed and let out to inflict crime in the future.  That is the best that our court systems are offering us.  And even that is a rare occurrence. 

These people have no idea how much anger is coming in their direction, for what they have been doing to us for years. De Niro has no idea how much the game has changed.

Most of the time, court cases drag out too long, and it’s always the wrong people getting punished.  These days, as we have seen with President Trump and many others, the courts have been weaponized.  Two local cases in my community, the Darbi Boddy school board case at Lakota and the Roger Reynolds case, were clear examples of a weaponized court system that had nothing to do with justice but political power intent to rob voters of their picks for political office.  It was utterly corrupt, and lawyers were the only people who benefited from those cases.  Replacing gun battles with foes with pinheaded lawyers arguing with words, and not bullets, has turned out to be stupid.  And the bad guys know it.  There is nothing about our present system that inspires people to behave themselves.  So why not rape that innocent person?  Or steal from a family and their efforts at hard work?  Why not be a louse, a drug addict, or an abuser of alcohol?  What in our society inspires people not to be losers, criminals, and leeches off society?  The answer is nothing.  The works of Karl Marx from the early 1850s on, and spread through Masonic orders all over Europe and America, have not been satisfactory, and people have given it a chance and have been left wanting.  We are not a better world because of our courts and a lack of capital punishment.  We have empowered the criminal-minded to abuse innocent people in the pursuit of some great society as the radical left envisioned it.  And we have been left with a society of disaster. 

As I have said many times, I have traveled extensively, and one thing that I do while traveling is pick up books from those areas to read.  While traveling in my RV, I commonly get up before anybody else and read outside in the portable office, which travels with me everywhere I go.  I have read many books from exotic places like Deadwood, South Dakota, Jackson Hole, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and Texas—everywhere, about law and order and the attempts during Western expansion to solve these problems.  The conclusion is that society was worse under court systems than frontier justice.  Once the criminals realized they could hide their acts of villainy behind bureaucratic courts and their processes of pinheaded lawyers and corrupt judges, there was nothing to fear from society, so they performed more crimes as a result.  At least with this Marxist-inspired court system, they were promised a free meal every day and didn’t have to work in society to get it.  Once we stopped hanging people for crimes in our communities and shooting them to defend private property, the criminals started to run our society which is a massive problem to this very day.  And people are beginning to admit how unhappy they are about it.  Crime thrives in a society where courts get in the way of justice and where the courts are used as weapons, which is happening now in our daily news.  A better way to handle many of these cases would be through capital punishment. Nobody wants to see innocent people killed and hung for crimes they didn’t do.  But the fear of getting caught doing something wrong kept a lot of criminals from crossing the line, and we became a much better society.  As people think about it, Making the Noose Great Again makes a lot of sense.

Vote No on the Liberty Township Police Levy on March 19th, 2024: There is nothing more dangerous than bored cops with a lot of power

No, I’m not voting for more money to go to the police in the Liberty Township Police levy that everyone is voting for on March 19th. If President Trump were talking to me, I’m sure he would say, “back the blue.” And most people, especially where I live, will support the police no matter what they ask for, really beyond rationality. But I’m not one who falls for the whole “they run into danger when we run out” diatribe. If the police want my help, anytime, I’d be happy to do anything dangerous that they are asked to do. I could tell them right now where all the drug dealers are. I know where most of the scum bags live. And where a lot of the crime is of a general nature, and I would love to be deputized to bust all those losers, if that was the actual game everyone was into. I’m not a “no cop” guy by any means. We need them in society, but to what level? I’ve lived in Liberty Township, Ohio, longer than most people have been alive, and we’ve managed quite well when we had next to no police presence at all. What makes a society safe is good people, not more unionized cops. So when the police ask for a 3.3. mill levy I think they are only worth the .3 to me. If you want a couple of cops to fill out paperwork when there is an accident or something, then fine. But do we need 40 cops full-time and a bunch of bureaucratic leadership? I don’t think so, especially after my experiences with them, which I talked about on Christmas morning of 2023 when it looked like I was about to get swatted and had to run them off from gathering in front of my house. They said they were there just killing time and dispersed. But I’ve seen a lot of that behavior out of the police in my area, and I think from my experience that we’d be better off without them. I’d rather have volunteer law enforcement, which I could get excited about. I don’t want another expansion of a government union because they are too expensive and often too lazy.

Everywhere I go, at all hours of the day, I see these police officers sitting around looking for something to do, just as they did in front of my house on Christmas morning. A lot of people are more sympathetic to police sitting in front of their houses and would say, “Aren’t you happy to have the police keeping you safe while everyone is all nice and cozy in their houses?” I say no. Cops are there for the paperwork. But I could see why people who don’t know how to shoot guns or are timid personalities would want to hire out their safety to a bunch of people who should be spending their time on a diet plan. Most of these guys have had a Twinkie too many and don’t represent the best the human race offers. I’m not very proud of how many of them look or act. I see too many employees sitting around with very little to do, and to me, that makes for very dangerous people. There are few things more dangerous in life than a bored cop with nothing better to do than to try to make themselves look useful. Cops can get into all kinds of mischief and become detrimental to the public trust. And that is not a price worth paying for, because it often causes more trouble than they are worth in social misery.

As corrupt as it gets

But it was the Liberty Township cops from the Sheriff’s department that really dropped the ball on the administrator misconduct at Lakota schools where they rationalized away a truly dangerous situation when it came to administrators from another government union, who had stated fascination with sexual encounters with children. And when I tried to help them out, they referred to me in a police report as the “bald guy with a bullwhip,” which everyone knows about, but it was very disrespectful. They should have been busting all the administrators who showed an inclination toward child pedophilia, especially those working as employees at the school, but they brushed it off as the fantasy of adults and that the activity wasn’t illegal. They have time to sit on the side of the road and harass people for speeding and traffic violations, but they do not have the time to investigate reported and possible crimes against pedophilia properly. No wonder Mike Gmoser, the prosecutor in Butler County, had a family member involved in one of the most significant child pornographic cases that saw him get life in prison—or at least until the story cools down and he can pull some strings to get him out early. These crimes happen right in front of all these cops’ faces, and most of the time, they can be found on the side of the road playing on their phones, not doing real police work or detective work. They do all too often as they did at Lakota schools; they clean up unionized messes that might get out to the public and put caps on the story. They aren’t protecting kids. My experiences with some of these cops as they interacted with Lakota schools were embarrassing at best and not worth the money they wanted for this March 19th Levy in Liberty Township, Ohio.

The police are there to pick on people to protect political power, but when it comes to real crime, they are too busy playing on their phones.

Some police were there to enforce a corrupt law that Judge Lyons got involved in at Lakota by issuing a citation to Darbi Boddy, the famous school board member, to play their part in trying to remove her from the school board.  As Darbi reported to her elected duty to attend a meeting recently, some police were there to escort her off the property and issue her a citation that she is still dealing with.  She has another hearing on January 29th 2024, and is on her second lawyer on this grotesque abuse of power.  They threatened her with jail, which is still a possibility, and have worked to keep her away from Lakota schools to perform what she was elected to do over a phony charge that traces back to the legal firm Frost Brown and Todd and an upcoming teacher union contract negotiation.  They are tough guys to pick on a local mom while her husband serves overseas and she’s alone most of the time to defend herself.  Why would we want to pay for more people like these guys who obviously serve whatever political power has power?  If they were serving law and order, they might make a case.  But I have seen too much corruption out of this group to pay them 3 million dollars’ worth of a taxpayer’s budget.  Like my incident on Christmas morning, why would I want to fund agents of antagonization, people who would fight on behalf of my political enemies?  Because that’s what they have been doing.  Where the danger has genuinely been, they have been playing in their cars on their phones all night doing nothing.  But when there is a threat to the political order, suddenly, they are removing people like Darbi Boddy from school boards and prosecuting the innocent with their grotesque abuses of power.  No, I will be voting no on that ridiculously expensive levy.  That’s too many cops that we are paying too much to sit around and get themselves into trouble.  And I would suggest a community volunteer force instead.  It would be far more effective.

A Review of ‘Government Gangsters’ by Kash Patel: The proof everyone has been looking for

I see it all as turning a corner. The story laid out in Kash Patel’s new book Government Gangsters is irreversibly potent. You can’t unsee it once you have seen it. I have watched America wake up for years to the kind of government that it has, and it’s clear where it’s all going. It’s most evident with the Speaker of the House situation in Congress. The peer pressure pushes for order and compromise, where the voters have had enough. They just want to save the idea of their country, and now they know how bad some of these Government Gangster types are. Just a few years ago, people like me would talk about how bad the government is, and people would squawk about wanting to talk about something else. Now, when it’s evident that the uniparty is willing to pull off their Republican masks to keep Jim Jordan, whom President Trump endorsed, from becoming Speaker and to get Congress going again, we can see who the activists are in our government who don’t want the will of the American people represented in congress but are tethered to lobbyists and international tyrants willingly. They’ve been hiding behind the Republican brand while doing whatever it took to profit themselves no matter how much they sold out our country, and now people can see. They can see how some low-life judge in New York has tried to show power over a former president, Trump, who just so happens to be leading over all rivals, including the current president, in polling one year away from the election, by being ahead in 6 of 7 battleground states and is tied in Michigan. The scam was always in the order of things, and disorder is emerging to expose who these Government Gangsters have always been. And it has been not fun to see.

Kash Patel is no slack-jawed loser; he served high up in President Trump’s administration in several capacities, including Senior Director of Counter Terrorism and Chief of Staff to the Department of Defense. So he was there for most everything directly over many years of the Trump presidency, which most of the Swamp would love to pretend never happened, just as they are currently in denial of the direction of Congress. People don’t want more sell-outs in Congress. They want people like Jim Jordan and a minority of participants in the House on both sides; Republicans and Democrats are hoping that if they drag their feet longer, everything will snap back into the scam that got us all into trouble in the first place. But that’s not happening; people are now awake, although slow to respond. Ultimately, it’s economy that people judge their government by, and this economy isn’t good. There has been a lot of hope that if Robert Kennedy jumped into the race to make it a three-way entanglement, it would help the Democrats. But early polling shows that Trump, one way or the other, no matter what is going on with court cases during the upcoming primary season, will have 39% of the vote. And he will get a share of independents who are sick of the price of milk and eggs being too expensive under Joe Biden. And Trump will win easily. That reality has not sunk in yet, but it will. Rather quickly. Now that these Government Gangsters have shown who they were, there is no way to put all that back in a bottle and move on. Which I think is a great thing, as ugly as it has been.

Early after the election, after I started my Rumble channel, which now has over a thousand videos that get respectable viewership, considering they are primarily about politics, I explained to everyone something I had known for a long time. The mob got tired of running from the law and instead moved into government, so we now call them “Government Gangsters.” It has not been a government for the people by the people but has essentially become a fourth branch of unaccountable government called the Deep State that has captured law enforcement and the military to perform the kind of mob hits that Al Capone was famous for in Chicago. People at the time thought I was overly dramatic, but in 2023, after three years of hindsight, people saw that what I said was true. That it is all too true. We don’t have a government serving the people in America; that was all an illusion, performed through rigged elections, a Marxist-oriented media, and a K-Street lobby that gave easy money to anyone who defected from Constitutional concepts. And once Trump was elected, impossibly because the system was so rigged against something like that, they hit the panic button and started to show who they were all these years. Government Gangsters brings the evidence of just how bad it is, and it is. The FBI has become essentially a hit squad for the Deep State, which has its roots in international finance and a legal system deeply committed to concepts of globalism and the abolition of the American Constitution. Most of the time, all books like this are missing other points of view, but in this case, there is only one view. That our government is out of control and is hostile to the people it’s supposed to serve, and they have now all been caught, and it’s up to voters to sort it all out, which will happen now that it’s all so obvious.

I was in a public place where people watched the Ohio State football game over the weekend with Penn State.  And games like that used to occupy all of America’s leisure energy, but not now.  People remember the Jerry Sandusky scandal at Penn State.  People know how much less money they have to spend on fun stuff during football games like that.  People aren’t nearly as distracted as they used to be, which allowed these Government Gangsters to thrive, hidden in the background.  At a game like that, usually, people wouldn’t talk to me with my guns and cowboy hat looming around in the background.  They would try to ignore me the best they could.  But not anymore.  Instead, they ask me, “When is Trump coming back?  Is he going to beat all these federal charges?  Will Trump be able to get our economy moving again?”  People know I’ve been involved in this stuff for over 30 years.  My answer to them is, and has been, that there will be a lot of turbulence.  Fasten your seat belt; it will be a bumpy landing.  But yes, Trump will be back, beat all the charges, and be able to get the economy moving again the most powerful in the world.  It’s simple: just get rid of the government gangsters, push out the organized crime element of our current government, and things will suddenly get a lot better.  But first, you must admit that there is a problem, which is where many people are right now.  People are hoping and praying for a return of Trump and the destruction of the Government Gangsters, which are now clearly evident for all to see.  But the gangsters are hoping to wait out the storm and are planning on everyone going back to sleep so they can resume their crimes against humanity.  However, America is waking up for good this time, and the results will be inevitable.

The Global Government Mob: Of course, they want to get rid of Trump to show their power over people

It used to be more common to assume that organized crime ran specific sectors of our economy, and they stayed just a bit out of range to hide in the background. People knew they were out there, but so long as they could live their lives, they typically didn’t know much about them and their workings. But that hasn’t been the case for a few decades. I have a bit of experience in this kind of thing, I used to be personal friends with several hitmen who worked for various mobsters, both in Newport, Kentucky, who had their very aggressive fingers in the Chester Road enterprises in Sharonville in the 80s, and of course, all roads for the mob went to Chicago if you lived in the Midwest. I spent a few years in that kind of life driving them and their girlfriends around town because I was the one who was always straight, so I was able to see how this relationship between the underworld and the common world worked. And how people were killed or prosecuted to take out rivals and how all those relationships interacted with politics. Ironically, I was associating with these people while a slow transition occurred from private sector interactions to where the best way for the mob to operate was by moving into government. And why not? If you want to rob people, then why not get the power to do it legally? From their perspective, it made perfect sense. So I’m not being inflammatory when I say that most of the world’s governments, especially anything coming out of the World Economic Forum and its relationship with the United Nations, are simply a global form of the mob. Not so much run by regional families but an international cabal of conspirators who see themselves as a New Age aristocracy.

And that’s largely why we have the mess we have today; the government has become the new generation mob. Instead of trying to hide their activity from the cops, they simply gained control of the cops. Instead of killing people, dumping their bodies in a river, or cutting them up and sending all the body parts to a grieving mother, they became the prosecutors and even now control the White House. The Biden family is a crime family; that observation goes far beyond political sentiment. Facts support it, and when you can see how the law is protecting those crimes, it’s easy to understand why these types of people want power so much. Because they want to commit crimes and not represent people in a Republic, they are parasites, and this is now a global operation that uses the United Nations as a front group. Many people still have a hard time understanding what happened with Covid, but what must be realized is that the government aligned with big pharma to assist a change state attack by the World Economic Forum in implementing a strategy built by insanity. It’s an evil so vast that ordinary people can’t even get their minds around it, which I saw happen many times in my own personal experiences. People just minding their own business didn’t want to know that the person they were shopping next to in the grocery store just killed someone and put their eyeballs in a jar of olives just as a practical joke. People don’t want to know that people are that evil, which is partly how these international criminals hide themselves in plain sight. But that’s what we are dealing with; the type of people who used to get involved in organized crime now find that the power of government does the same thing for them. They gain infinite ability to commit crimes against innocent people to provide for themselves easy money for their lazy lives. That’s why they are attracted to power because they are too lazy to work for money. So they make a living stealing it, and with the government, they get the power to steal money without a mask but under the laws of the IRS. 

Examples of this were never more evident than in what the American government and its connection to the cabal of the World Economic Forum, the people I call the Desecrators of Davos, than what they are currently doing to President Trump, just for daring to run for president. The tentacles of this mobster monster of government are now easy for everyone to see. They run the media; they run most of politics. They usually run the political parties, not entirely, but by default. The people in these positions don’t see themselves as mobsters. They look in the mirror and see a saint confiscating wealth from people who have it and redistributing it to those who don’t. Jesse James thought of himself as just this sort of equalizer of justice. It should be remembered that he and his criminal brother were Democrats who fought for slavery. But their tendency for crime was masked by their belief that they were Robin Hood types of characters, stealing from the prosperous north and giving it to the disenfranchised poor. They really aren’t any different from John Kerry, who steals from everyone to satisfy his insanity on phony climate science. And now that they have control of this political machine, who thinks they will give all that power back without a fight? 

Trump represents the people’s pick for their government, but what was exposed in the last few elections is that elections aren’t honest. There is too much power at stake to let some busy soccer mom pick officeholders that won’t be friendly to this new mob of global commerce. Of course, they rig elections. Of course, they are going to use the power of government to send a message to the people that Trump can’t save them. They want to put Trump in jail to show their power over people. It’s similar to that scene from The Godfather where they cut off the horse’s head and put it in bed with the target of mob terrorism. They aren’t hiding who they are because they don’t think anybody will stand against them. They own the government and think they own all the resources to terrorize anybody they want; anytime they want to. We’ve seen isolated gangs of evil in the past, such as mentioned about Jesse James and other criminal outlaws. The difference now is that globalism is the new mob because of international finance created by the Federal Reserve, BlackRock, and other malcontents of activism. The internet gives them the ability to communicate and spy on their markets. The media gives them propaganda terrorism to keep everyone stirred up into compliance. And there isn’t anybody to look over their shoulder at anymore. They don’t worry about the cops getting them or the FBI knocking on their door because they now run those agencies. It’s a great gig for them. Left unchecked, the mobs of the world always rise up to take control, which is why they can’t be left unchecked. Now, they won’t be put back into their place without being punched in the mouth in a way that hurts. There is no peace in the world. There is no way to coexist with these people. But they aren’t invincible either. They are very vulnerable once you understand what we are all fighting.  But first people have to admit what they are.

Nancy Nix for Butler County Auditor: The bad guys don’t want smart people looking through their books

The big news this week, going into the 2023 New Year, was that Joe Statzer was appointed to replace Roger Reynolds temporarily in the Butler County Auditor position. That doesn’t look good because Joe is a very close political ally of Sheriff Jones, and in this situation and many others, that isn’t a good thing. And good on T.C. Rogers as the lone Butler County Commissioner for having the intellect to vote against Joe. I know all the people in this case personally; everyone likes Joe. But this is about more than likes and dislikes. As I’ve said from the beginning of the Roger Reynolds case in Butler County, Ohio, the goal was for officeholders to get rid of the very popular auditor because they didn’t want to live up to the high bar that Roger had set. None of the characters involved, not Attorney General David Yost, Sheriff Jones, or even the court members, could have withstood the kind of political assassination that Roger Reynolds had to go through with the prosecution continuing to throw charges against him until something stuck. And of all the charges initially filed, Roger was found innocent of all of them. It was the final one that involved Lakota schools, yes, that same Lakota schools with all the same characters involved in the Matt Miller case, that had enough ambiguity in it to leave questions in the jury’s mind and get a 4th-degree conviction in having an unlawful interest in a public contract. During the trial, Jenni Logan, the former treasurer of Lakota and personal friend of Sheriff Jones, gave competent testimony. The Reynolds legal team was obviously unprepared for it since it had been a charge tacked on over the summer of 2022. It was obviously purely politically motivated based on the Jones press conference at that time and wasn’t as defined as the core of the case had been. Roger’s legal team was very well prepared for the rest of the case, the condition of a property transaction involving his father and an old neighbor. 

When people look toward the police and think of corruption, it is over cases like this. When the Attorney General of Ohio gets involved in trying to push people out of office, you can see what kind of game is being played. And for what reason? Well, as people have explained to me, it’s all about Roger’s policies on full disclosure that had politicians mad, and you could see that as soon as the jury returned with a conviction. It doesn’t sound like the conviction will involve jail time, but likely probation for Roger Reynolds, but the politicians involved in pressing this case, which started with a political hit piece by Channel 19 News in Liberty Township, Ohio, just ahead of a big election, was about removing the snoopy eyes of Roger Reynolds. And knowing the personalities personally, as I do, the real deal with the case was the political power of two extremely alpha males, not the legitimacy of legal parameters. Roger Reynolds can come across as bullish when he knows he’s right about something, and Sheriff Jones likes political power for the sake of having it to apply to people around him. I see the whole matter as a human resource problem, two people who just don’t like each other, and the reasons for that dislike is one of competency and nothing else. Roger did his job too well, and that made a lot of politicians worried. So wherever Roger stumbled his toe somewhere, the prosecution looked for a window to slide in some ambiguity and see if something might stick. They wanted to convict Roger of a charge so they could designate him a felon and get Roger Reynolds off their back forever. When Roger refused to resign, they proceeded with this court case. And when it comes to wealthy people trying to explain millions of dollars of tax money wrapped up in a fancy country club, it’s hard to explain all that to a jury, even if most of the conversation was just high-brow talk. Jenni Logan knew what she was doing when she provided testimony which is why Sheriff Jones, who had special knowledge of the case fresh off his relationship with Lakota schools, so they tacked on this extra charge utterly unrelated to the previous charges in July of 2022, just ahead of the election a few months later. Roger’s trial for these matters was moved into December as a backstop in case he won reelection, which he did, easily. But one way or another, the legal machine was determined to get rid of Roger Reynolds, which they managed to squeak out one conviction out of the original seven. Once convicted, that meant Roger would have to vacate his post, which is what his political enemies wanted all along. 

And if there was any doubt about any of what I said, within hours of the conviction, the political enemies of Roger Reynolds repeated what Sheriff Jones said about the case once it was over. Immediately the attention was leveled at Roger’s replacement, who most people think will be Nancy Nix, the treasurer of Butler County and a very competent person in every way that a person can be. Bruce Jones from West Chester wants the job, and the last time I spoke to him, a few weeks ago, he was pretty sure he would get it. Sheriff Jones obviously wants Bruce. But for those who want continuity of the kind of great job that came out of Roger Reynold’s auditor’s office, Nancy Nix is the personality who could best achieve that. But she, like Roger, is a Certified Public Accountant. Who wouldn’t want a CPA to run the money of Butler County? Well, if you are a politician that doesn’t want such tight controls on the money, you don’t necessarily want a Certified Public Accountant. So immediately, the political posturing went forth to smear Nancy Nix, just as the campaign was clear to smear Roger Reynolds from the start. And yes, Roger and Nancy are very good friends, just as Sheriff Jones has been friends with them both. I’d call all of them friends, so friendship doesn’t determine merit. Only actions do, and the resistance to a CPA in the role of the auditor of Butler County should alarm everyone. Sheriff Jones was too happy about being able to call Roger Reynolds a felon than he should have been, and it was disgusting to see how the law could be so abused as to take out political rivals for personal reasons rather than in upholding what’s best for the community. Remember, this is the same sheriff’s office behind the Matt Miller story at Lakota schools, so we certainly have picking and choosing going on here for political power, not what is best for the community. 

What’s great about Nancy is that she is every bit as competent but what she has that many political personalities don’t have is a wonderful character. Not that Roger Reynolds didn’t but being a person who deals with millions and millions of dollars, there are personality traits that come out that most people find abrasive. It’s a common trait with most financial people, and from the perspective of Sheriff Jones, it’s an easy trait to exploit under court scrutiny, which was undoubtedly the case in this judgment against Roger. But Nancy doesn’t have that stiffness that is generally associated with financial people; she is super nice, very intelligent, engaging, and tireless. I just spoke to her the other day, and even when she’s down in the dumps, as she was very sad about what happened to her friend Roger, she has all the optimism of a person who doesn’t have a bad thought in her head. As angry as I was at the case, she was very levelheaded and composed, which was impressive. I expect that out of her, but even under these terrible conditions, she always manages to hold it together. So, I think she would be a great replacement to continue Roger Reynolds’ work in that auditor role. I’m sure Roger will do great in the private sector. Butler County will miss his great work, but Nancy could continue that great work. And that is what those who don’t want that level of competency are afraid of. You can always tell a lot about a person by the enemies they have, and based on the early reaction toward Roger, Nancy Nix, and CPAs in general, the anger is obvious. There are a lot of politicians who don’t want intelligent people snooping through their budgets. And in the end, that’s all any of this was about from the start—the desire for corruption and getting rid of the people who might stand in the way of it.

The Corruption of our Legal System: Without a belief in the Bible, its prone to evil, malice, and political detriment

Whether its Letitia James, the George Soros-sponsored Attorney General of New York on a personal vendetta to destroy Donald Trump using the law as a weapon of politics, or the local sheriff who is skimming money from everywhere and distributing it to various people to acquire power and they seek to destroy their local auditor because they don’t want an open book policy to the public, many people are now disillusioned about our legal system. What many have forgotten over time in America is that our legal system as a whole is founded on Christian values. We have a society that no longer believes in Biblical values. In that case, there can’t possibly be any respect for law and order, and our entire civilization will fall victim to the biggest bully on the block, which is what we see happening. In any society, the fear of force always keeps everyone aligned. Without some shared philosophical value, everything will fall into chaos, which the enemies of America are pleased to see happening. That is undoubtedly the motive behind Letitia James of New York and her billionaire supporters, who ultimately want to see the downfall of America. In such a society, the rules are not made to protect the good from the bad but to give cover to the bad from the judgment of the good, and that is precisely where we find ourselves today. 

We could all tell stories of our own version of the local sheriff who will say to a friend or a political ally, “hey, if you broke the law, we’ll fix it up. Don’t worry about it. Let’s go get some chicken wings and talk about that Monday night football game.” But if a law comes into question regarding a political rival, that sheriff will throw the book of laws for all their worth behind the effort to destroy that person. And that is what we call an injustice. Where the legal system is used as a weapon against enemies instead of as a stabilizing force for society in general, and of course, no society can function in such a way for long. Without law and order, there is no society. Again, the enemies of America are happy either way. They would love to see America plunge into a lawless society. And they love to see corrupt political officials abusing the law at every opportunity because they know eventually, the people of that society will abandon the law and turn to the government to be the broker for fairness, which only gives the government more power and fewer rights. So this notion of losing a Biblical law and order society is quite a strategy that exacerbates the whims of corruption among such weak-minded people and unleashes their wrath on the innocent without protection. Because at that point, only violence could be left to defend the good from the bad. The bad has been empowered because of their propensity for corruption to exploit the good; from there, we have sheer lawlessness and fear from the world’s bullies. 

When people contemplate that President Trump doesn’t have the right temperament to be president because we are supposed to be a Christian society that turns the other cheek to our enemies and forgives our foes, we are being exploited by evil for our tendency to play by the rules. We need Trump in America because he refused to give ground to the malicious. And he is willing to use his vast sums of money to fight in court the premise of law and order and turn the tables on them against their own desires for power. Few people in the world can fight these political systems as they are rigged. Because nobody can trust that the hand on a Bible is enough to provide good testimony, this has only empowered lawyers of bottom-feeder characters to thrive in a rigged language that only money can buy. Trump can play that game because, like Soros, he is a fellow billionaire and can put his money against the aims of American antagonists. But unless people have that kind of money, they will always be victims to those who do, and the legal system is designed for corruption, those who can pay for its services. It doesn’t exist on its own merit to provide justice blindly. Instead, justice is wide awake and looking for those who can write the biggest checks. Our legal system may have been designed to weigh a feather against a heart heavy with guilt. But what we have ended up with is a definition of justice that goes to those with the most money, to buy the most expensive lawyers, who have the best relationships with the best judges, leaving average people cleaving in the darkness for fairness, knowing that they are all victims to a system deep in corruption from the inside out. 

Yet I would say to fear not. The way it is presented is not how it was designed. Our legal system became corrupt because we trusted bad people to do the right thing. In hindsight, that was dumb, but as honorable people, we had to give them a chance. However, now that we know better, we are not confined to such obligations going forward. We are fortunate to have someone like Trump fighting on our side, a fellow billionaire from that elite class who wants to rule the world from the shadows and undermine us at every opportunity. Those who flow money into local communities and count on the crooked sheriff, the compromised judge, and the low-life lawyers who put more effort into their golf game than the justice of their clients, are easy to turn the tables on. It took a long time for the kind of corruption we see today to manifest. But it started when people stopped putting their hand on the Bible and meaning it when they swore an oath. No society can survive if it does not clearly understand right and wrong, and the villains who corrupted our legal system knew this even as they talked out of both sides of their mouths for years. The debate raged most viciously when such characters disputed the Ten Commandments in courtrooms, then said it violated free speech. Such contemplations are equivalent to stating that we want to live as human beings without the flow of blood through our bodies. You can’t have one without the other. And you can’t have civilization without justice. And you can’t have justice without a clear understanding of what it is. But what we have now is not justice, it’s corruption where the law is utilized for political benefit for political reasons, and it is far from blind. If you are a political enemy, they will throw the book at you and lobby to put you in jail, bankrupt and without a reputation, destroyed for life if they can do it. But if you are a friend or benefit them somehow, they will turn the other way and invite the criminal out for chicken wings and a nice cold beer. Perhaps even a morning golf game on a Sunday with the rising sun warming their faces and laughing about how they were able to scam the public for all its worth and get away with it. Fret not. The bad guys only win because of what they did they did in the shadows. But with the light of day flashed upon their actions, there will undoubtedly be a different result, and the sun is shining these days brightly.

Abuse of Power in Butler County: And it’s not Roger Reynolds doing it

I’ve talked about it before; I sympathize with the Steve Bannon contempt of congress case that is happening at the end of July 2022 more than other cases because it’s personal for me. I don’t communicate with him a lot, be we occasionally do. He has shared some of my articles on social media, and we have exchanged text messages on occasion, so it’s more personal to me to see what is happening to him than it would be if I didn’t know something about the person himself. As I watch him go to federal court every day and the judge lecture the defense about not making a circus out of the case, it is bewildering to think that Eric Holder was found in contempt of Congress in 2012, yet no punishment ever came his way. But because Bannon is a member of the Trump White House, he is being treated like a criminal, guilty before proven innocent, just by association. And all this has made me think of the case of George Lang several years ago, who was facing jail time just for knowing John Boehner, who was poised to be speaker of the house, and the Democrats wanted to sink him through his friends. George, of course, was found innocent, but it was scary for sure. We could all point to misconduct in court proceedings that were purely politically motivated and shake our heads. But we often don’t say much about it because we fear that injustice being turned in our own direction, so we just move along and try to ignore it. Yet, I see the same thing happening to Roger Reynolds in Butler County, where political rivals are accusing him of corruption in his office. And I just don’t see it in any of the indictments, for which a 6th came out just recently to add to the pile, intent on knocking him out of office. It’s an election year, some rivals want Roger out as a political character, and they’ll do what they must do to sink him. 

Believe me; I’d rather talk about a million other things than this case, which I’ve discussed in detail. I’d prefer to leave all this mess to the courts to decide but based on a ridiculous article by Jennifer Edwards Baker from Fox 19 about the details of the 6th indictment against Roger Reynolds, which now involves Lakota schools, the issue is so preposterous that we just can’t ignore it. Obviously, the prosecution in the case against Roger, much like the case against Steve Bannon, doesn’t have much to go on, so they are prosecuting the case in the court of public opinion through reporters who might sway public sentiment ahead of upcoming elections. And that is the entire goal of the proceedings. And we can’t ignore the case because it could be any of us falsely accused. It’s not that I love Roger Reynolds. I think he has been an excellent auditor. But he’s made political enemies over the years, which is all part of the blood sport of politics. I think he could handle many things better regarding social interactions, but I recognize that he’s an A-Type personality, as is Sheriff Jones, and a clash among those types of people is bound to happen. I see it as more of a human resource problem than a legal one. If those two people have problems, they should resolve them in some other way than in political tricks ahead of elections and wasting the time of courts for personal vendettas, which is clearly the case with this indictment against Roger involving Lakota schools.   

The Fox 19 article says many things that could easily be misconstrued, leaving out all the relevant factors, such as all the axes to grind among public employees, especially those who handle money. The indictment indicates that Lakota schools were due to get back $750,000 from the auditor’s office. Roger suggested to the treasurer Jenni Logan that they spend that money on the Four Bridges Golf Course in a partnership. A whole series of emails between Jenni and the school attorney show an interest in Roger’s proposal. Ultimately, they decided it probably wasn’t a good idea, so the concept was rejected. That was back in 2017, a long time ago. So why is this story coming out now? Jenni is retiring on August 1st, 2022, and this is something for the road that fits into the motivations of Sheriff Jones and his political needs regarding putting someone else in the seat of the Butler County Auditor. So, they completely made up the word “coercion” in the indictment and tried to build a case that forced Roger to prove he wasn’t guilty of it due to pressure from public opinion, rather than proving that Roger actually used coercion in any way during the proposed spending of the money. When people see $750,000, they might think that’s a lot of money, but in reality, within the budget of Lakota, it’s much less than 1% of their expenditures and is actually about 11 or 12 teachers. Teachers make a lot of money, despite what the unions say about compensation. I can easily see how Roger would suggest that Jenni spend the money on something more useful, like an elevated lifestyle for the students of Lakota, rather than just blowing it on more activist teachers. Jenni must have thought the idea a good one because she pursued it through emails which are part of the case. But she did so voluntarily. That is not coercion; it’s a discussion among professional adults. 

All this doesn’t change my opinion of Roger Reynolds. As I indicated, I could tell stories all day long about court cases that were purely intended to destroy a political rival and had nothing to do with actual justice. I mentioned a few here based on personal experience. But it’s quite common as a practice. I’m all for law and order, but justice should be blind. What is going on with Roger Reynolds is that laws are being applied against a political rival instead of uniformly applied. It’s an abuse of authority, but it’s not Roger doing the abuse. It’s the accusers, not the recipient. I’ll still be voting for Roger Reynolds in the upcoming election. All the people participating in the investigation against him should be trying to work with Roger instead of getting rid of him over their personal problems they might have. Destroying people’s lives is not the way to solve a problem. It might be common, but it’s certainly not right.

The courts are not private playgrounds to bully people into fight resolution that might have been settled on a playground when everyone was kids. As adults, judges, attorneys, and media bottom feeders are not replacements for fists to the face. When the courts are abused, as they are clearly being abused in this Roger Reynolds case and the case of Steve Bannon, that gives politics and our justice system a bad name, and everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves, as far as I’m concerned, all six of these indictments against Roger Reynolds are political witch hunts. If I had been Roger, I would have handled things differently, where there was no question as to blurred lines. But social mistakes aren’t against the law. Intent to commit a crime is, and to assume intent where there clearly isn’t any evidence, just for the political theater of altering an election is despicable at best and gross abuse of authority at the very least.

How Crimes Are Committed in the Modern Age by Governments: The Boggle Threshold and the advantage it gives the criminal class

Everyone is wondering how so many crimes committed by government, such as Covid and the vaccine mandates, the theft of wealth through inflation, and the sell-out of America through privileged political hacks like Hunter Biden, can go unpunished. They see the crimes committed but nothing being done about it. Well, the political left has already provided the answer; the classic Cloward–Piven strategy is meant to overwhelm systems, then collapse them into a change state favorable to the attacker. Then there is John Kotter from the Harvard Business School, who will tell leaders to create a crisis, even if there isn’t one, so you can unify efforts to your direction. It’s a standard trick, and by now, especially among the college-educated, they have seen it done to them over and over through many years, and now as adults of their own, they unconsciously do the same thing to people they are supposed to lead. It’s the classic lie a parent tells a child, don’t go outside during a storm because you’ll be struck by lightning, with the intent to keep children safe in the house and under control by fear of what might happen to them. Many grow up and become terrified of several irrational fears because of such methods employed on them over a long period. And believe it, the governments of the world, the global criminals know this, and many of the crimes we are seeing now are happening because of their understanding of this modern problem of interconnectivity across political influence. They continuously seek to exploit the conditions to their advantage. 

Yet, the strategies mentioned, whether it’s Cloward-Piven or Kotter’s Eight Stage Process of Creating Major Change, have a more technical term for the conditions those strategies expose, and that’s the Boggle Threshold. When we talk about something “boggleing the mind,” we are talking about people reaching their Boggle Threshold, which is the saturation point where a mind rejects new information upon receiving it. The information might be perfectly valid, but the mind witnessing the information might be too consumed with other information to accommodate it into a change state reality. The Boggle Threshold is typically associated with paranormal phenomena, so it doesn’t generally get used to express political matters and everyday concerns. When the question comes up about ghosts, UFOs, or Big Foot, ordinary people are worried about gas prices, love lives, and whether their neighbor cut the lawn and don’t have room in their minds for contemplation about information outside their everyday experience. The criminal class, which was first most successfully used under the mob in Chicago and later captured by the favorite book of the left, Rules for Radicals, knew this about people and often hid their crimes behind it. They might murder people in the streets of Chicago. Yet, with all the other crimes going on and the rebellious nature of Prohibition in general, Al Capone knew he could exploit the Boggle Threshold in people to hide the mob’s many crimes behind his magnetic personality. People could relate to his charisma. But they couldn’t see the monster behind his façade because their Boggle Threshold just couldn’t contemplate such things. That’s why he was never convicted of the actual crimes he committed but was only found guilty of tax evasion because it was there that a conceptual idea of a crime could be conceived within the rules of tax policy—rules that everyone can generally understand within their Boggle Threshold. 

An example of the Boggle Threshold would be if you were walking along and found a dead body, then next to that body, there was a bloody knife; any rational person would conclude that that murder weapon had killed the deceased person. But, if the person who discovered the body was encumbered past their saturation point within their Boggle Threshold, then they might not see the crime scene so clearly. Perhaps they were in a fight with their spouse over who was going to drive which car to work that day, or maybe they were trying to find the money for the mortgage. Perhaps they were worried about something with their kids or some other series of details on their minds before discovering the dead body. How many people who witness a crash on the side of the road would stop to help, and how many would just drive on because they had a million other things to do and couldn’t afford the chaos of something out of their routine? When people are at their Boggle Threshold, they don’t have room for new information, such as election fraud, the origins of Covid, or that the President’s son is on hours and hours of video recordings of himself naked smoking crack out of a pipe. All those things are happening outside of people’s Boggle Threshold. People might observe those conditions but are paralyzed to pass judgment because they are past their saturation point for new information to influence their behavior. 

Just like Al Capone, but on a vast scale these days, and across the entire world, crimes are committed knowing that in democracies, most people won’t have the intellectual capacity to maintain a Boggle Threshold that can actually see the crimes being committed. This Boggle Threshold is hard-wired into our media culture and our public education, where one sets where that threshold is for everyday people. The other works to saturate people’s minds with so much useless information that they never have room for new information that may be much more important, such as the Wisconsin Supreme Court making a decision that none of Joe Biden’s votes counted from drop boxes were legal, and must be subtracted from the overall number, which would mean that President Trump actually won the state. People are worried about a recession, gas prices, and increases at the grocery store. My family ordered a pizza the other day, and the driver reported to us that the delivery charge was $4 now instead of just $2 because of gas prices. When you can’t even order a pizza these days without it breaking the bank, nobody has room to contemplate global election fraud that has put in place radical communists who want to take over the world. It might be accurate, but it’s beyond the Boggle Threshold of most, so the crimes go unnoticed and unpunished. A Boggle Threshold can be increased through intellect, but if people don’t know they should be expanding their personal limits, they aren’t going to make the conscious effort to do so. And knowing that, the criminals of our society are perpetuating their crimes with the understanding that ordinary people don’t have the time or mental capacity to deal with the ramifications of their crimes committed, so long as the crimes are hidden by a barrage of nonsense that fills up people’s minds and saturates their Boggle Threshold. However, the weakness of this strategy can always be uncovered by “intent,” the intent to commit a crime, which is evident to all, even those stressed out by the events of our day. Once you simplify matters into observing intent, then the Boggle Threshold gives way a bit, and people can understand the circumstantial evidence. But taken at face value, until “intent” is obvious, the crimes continue to be committed without the fear of prosecution or a society that will take a stand against them.
