Gavin Newsom’s “Knee Pad” Campaign: Backfiring theatrics at Davos

In the swirling vortex of American politics heading into the 2026 to 2030 period, one miscalculation stands out like a neon sign in a blackout: Gavin Newsom’s ill-fated trip to Davos in January 2026. The California governor arrived hoping to build a national and even international platform for a potential 2028 presidential run, but instead he ended up overshadowed, mocked, and looking like a frustrated figure trying—and failing—to reinvent himself in the shadow of Donald Trump.

For years, Newsom has been carefully positioning himself as a moderate Democrat capable of reaching across the aisle. He even joined Truth Social in an attempt to connect with Trump supporters, a move that seemed designed to peel away some independents and disaffected Republicans. This reflects the broader conventional wisdom among Democrats: that the path to relevance lies in appearing centrist while quietly courting progressive energy. Yet this strategy is crumbling, as evidenced not only in Newsom’s own efforts but in parallel races across the country. In Ohio, for instance, Dr. Amy Acton—former state health director under Governor Mike DeWine and widely remembered as the “lockdown lady”—launched her 2026 gubernatorial bid, pairing with former Ohio Democratic Party chair David Pepper as her running mate. Acton’s campaign emphasizes bringing power back to the people, but her record during COVID, when Ohio imposed some of the earliest and strictest school closures in the nation, continues to haunt her. National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) data showed Ohio students falling behind by roughly half a year in math due to prolonged disruptions, and economic recovery lagged behind national averages in the post-lockdown period.

Similar patterns appear elsewhere. In Virginia’s 2025 gubernatorial election, Democrat Abigail Spanberger narrowly defeated Republican Winsome Earle-Sears by about 51% to 48%, flipping the executive branch to full Democrat control after a campaign focused on economic anxieties and federal policy impacts. Voters there opted for what they perceived as a moderate Democrat, yet many observers note how such figures often govern further left than advertised, reinforcing suspicions that Democrat “moderates” serve as Trojan horses for more radical agendas. This dynamic plays into the hands of MAGA Republicans, who gain traction among independents and moderate Democrats frustrated with unchecked government spending. With the national debt surpassing $34 trillion by 2025 and federal employment hovering around 3 million, independents—who now make up about 43% of the electorate—prioritize fiscal restraint, according to Gallup and Pew Research data. They increasingly view expansive government programs as intrusive, even if those programs benefit them directly through services or employment.

The Democrat base, meanwhile, often rallies around figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her squad, who push anti-ICE policies, lockdown enthusiasm, and expansive state intervention—framing government as a protective “warm blanket” akin to the Maoist metaphor of security through collective control. Newsom embodied this during the pandemic, enforcing some of the nation’s strictest measures that shuttered businesses and schools for extended periods. Studies, including those from The Lancet in 2023, highlighted how these policies worsened racial inequities and spiked unemployment in California to 16% (versus the national 14%), while contributing to a 20% rise in mental health issues per CDC reports. Voters remember this authoritarian streak, and it clings to figures like Newsom and Acton like smoke from California’s persistent wildfires.

Newsom’s Davos appearance crystallized these vulnerabilities. He touted California’s progress on zero-emission vehicles, boasting 2.5 million sold, but the real story was his feud with Trump. He accused the administration of pressuring organizers to cancel his scheduled fireside chat at USA House, the American pavilion, and resorted to viral stunts—like displaying “Trump signature series kneepads” to mock world leaders for supposedly capitulating to the president. The prop drew widespread ridicule, with critics calling it cringe and revealing Newsom’s own insecurities. Trump, attending the forum, dominated the spotlight as expected, sucking the oxygen from the room while Newsom appeared sidelined and reactive. Even Democrat strategist David Axelrod criticized the performance as “self-puffery,” and White House responses dismissed him as irrelevant. Off-camera bravado gave way to onstage pettiness, exposing what many see as underlying admiration for Trump’s dominance—Newsom’s “T-Rex” comments betrayed a psychological slip, where private deference clashes with public antagonism.

This ties into broader critiques of elite financial networks. Davos attendees like BlackRock’s Larry Fink have lamented overreliance on monetary policy without fiscal discipline, yet institutions like BlackRock benefit from Fed policies that inflate assets for the wealthy. Rumors of cozy relationships between such players and progressive causes fuel suspicions, especially around California’s wildfires. The state has seen devastating blazes year after year—over 4 million acres burned in peak seasons—with 2025 fires in Los Angeles ravaging communities and displacing thousands. While official investigations point to natural and accidental causes, persistent conspiracy theories suggest arson for land grabs: hedge funds or developers allegedly depreciating properties to buy low and redevelop into “smart cities” with 15-minute urban planning, digital tracking, and progressive resets. Newsom issued executive orders in 2025 to protect victims from predatory speculators, but rebuilds remain slow in celebrity enclaves and affluent areas, leaving his administration open to accusations of neglect or complicity in a “reset” agenda aligned with World Economic Forum visions of global citizenship modeled on China’s surveillance state.

These weights hang around Newsom’s neck as he eyes 2028. Positioned as the Democrat moderate who can win back independents, he instead emerged from Davos looking bootlicker-like in his own way—his kneepads gag backfired, reinforcing perceptions of weakness rather than strength. Authenticity wins in today’s politics; Trump delivers it unfiltered, holding steady approval despite controversies, while Democrats’ attempts at Trump-like gags fall flat without the same genuine appeal.

Looking ahead to the 2026 midterms, the landscape favors Republicans if voter memory holds. Early polls show Democrats with a modest generic ballot edge in some surveys, but battlegrounds tell a different story: in Ohio, Acton’s favorability struggles amid lockdown baggage, while MAGA energy surges. Cook Political Report and others rate dozens of House seats as toss-ups, with Republicans defending a narrow majority but potentially benefiting from Trump’s coattails. Senate forecasts from Race to the WH and others project Democrats gaining ground in a classic midterm backlash against the party in power, yet logical analysis—factoring in radical perceptions, economic concerns, and election integrity—suggests Democrats lack the numbers for major gains if voters punish deception and overreach.

Ultimately, Democrats appear unprepared for the 2026–2030 alignment. Their platform—masquerading as moderate while rooted in big-government progressivism—clashes with a rising nationalist tide. Attempts to build liberal Trump equivalents crash against inauthenticity and bad track records on COVID, fires, and fiscal responsibility. Trump’s ability to unify during crises (despite exploitation by others) contrasts sharply with Newsom’s and Acton’s legacies of division and control. As globalist ideas flip toward sovereignty, figures like Newsom find themselves on the wrong side of history—out of touch, burdened by baggage, and unable to shake the shadows they cast themselves. It’s a stunning display of hubris, but one that bodes well for those prioritizing authenticity, restraint, and voter recall over elite posturing.

The Dumps of Davos: Why America is not in the business of importing chaos and dysfunction

The annual gathering at Davos, nestled in the Swiss Alps, has long served as a peculiar summit where global elites convene to discuss the world’s pressing issues, often from the vantage point of immense wealth and influence. For many Americans, these meetings represent a detached conversation among the powerful, yet they offer a window into contrasting worldviews. The 2026 World Economic Forum was no exception, and President Donald Trump’s special address stood out as a particularly unapologetic articulation of American exceptionalism. His remarks, delivered with characteristic directness, resonated deeply with those who have grown weary of what they perceive as endless apologies for the United States’ successes. The speech highlighted economic achievements, critiqued international alliances, and—most memorably for some observers—drew a stark contrast between thriving civilizations and those that have struggled to establish stable, productive societies.

One of the most striking moments came when Trump referenced Somalia, describing it in blunt terms as a place that “is not even a country” in any meaningful sense of functional governance, and extending criticism to Somali immigrant communities in the United States, particularly in places like Minnesota, where integration challenges and related issues have been highlighted in public discourse. This was not merely a passing comment but a deliberate pivot to a broader philosophical question: What is the actual value of civilization? Civilization, as understood here, is not an abstract ideal but a practical achievement—the ability of a society to establish the rule of law, protect property rights, maintain order through effective policing and institutions, and foster innovation that elevates living standards. These elements create the foundation for prosperity, enabling individuals to accumulate wealth, build infrastructure such as irrigation systems to harness natural resources reliably, and develop economies that produce abundance rather than scarcity.

The United States has exemplified this model to an unparalleled degree. From its founding principles emphasizing individual liberty, limited government, and free enterprise, it has generated extraordinary productivity. Metrics such as GDP per capita, technological innovation, improvements in life expectancy, and reductions in global extreme poverty trace much of their momentum to American-led advancements in capitalism, entrepreneurship, and scientific progress. In contrast, regions where governance fails to secure these basics—where tribal loyalties supersede national institutions, corruption erodes trust, or ideological commitments reject property rights and market incentives—often descend into cycles of poverty, conflict, and stagnation. Somalia serves as a poignant case study. Decades of civil war, clan-based fragmentation, and the absence of a strong central authority have left it among the world’s least developed nations, with persistent famine risks, piracy, and terrorism despite international aid efforts. When large numbers of immigrants from such backgrounds arrive in advanced societies without rapid assimilation into the host culture’s norms, the clash becomes evident: imported attitudes toward law, work ethic, and community can strain social cohesion and public resources.

Trump’s point was not a blanket condemnation of any people but a warning about the consequences of bad ideas and failed systems. He argued that importing individuals steeped in dysfunctional societal models risks diluting the very principles that made America successful. This echoes longstanding debates in political philosophy. Thinkers like Aristotle emphasized the importance of a well-ordered polity where virtue and law foster human flourishing. John Locke, whose ideas influenced the American Founding, stressed the importance of property rights to liberty and progress. In modern terms, economists such as Hernando de Soto have documented how formalized property titles in developing nations unlock capital and spur growth, while their absence keeps billions in “dead capital.” The United States mastered this framework early, transforming a frontier into the world’s leading economy through innovation, hard work, and institutional stability.

Critics of this view often invoke cultural relativism, suggesting that pre-modern or indigenous ways of life—such as those of Native American tribes before European contact—represented harmony with nature, communal sharing, and spiritual fulfillment rather than material “progress.” Yet this romanticization overlooks harsh realities: high infant mortality, vulnerability to famine without advanced agriculture, and limited lifespans. Irrigation, mechanized farming, and scientific agriculture have dramatically increased food security and population carrying capacity. Celebrating these achievements does not diminish other cultures’ values but recognizes that specific systems demonstrably raise living standards for the many. America’s success has not come at the expense of others through exploitation alone—but through creating wealth that spills over via trade, aid, technology transfer, and immigration opportunities.

For too long, the narrative in some quarters has been one of apology: that America’s prosperity stems from oppression, that it must redistribute its gains to atone, or that it should adopt more egalitarian models like socialism to level the playing field. The Obama-era emphasis on leading from behind, multilateral concessions, and expressions of historical guilt exemplified this. Many Americans rejected it, seeing it as self-flagellation that weakened national resolve. Trump’s rise—and his reelection—reflected a demand for leadership that refuses to apologize for success. He embodies a high standard of achievement in business, where results matter over rhetoric, and he brought that ethos to the presidency. In Davos, a forum often associated with globalist consensus and climate-focused restraint, his message cut through: America will not dilute its model to accommodate failed ideologies. Instead, others should emulate what works.

This extends beyond immigration to geopolitics. Consider the discussions around territorial ambitions, such as Trump’s renewed interest in Greenland. Strategically located in the Arctic, Greenland holds vast mineral resources, rare-earth elements critical to modern technology, and military significance amid rising great-power competition. Trump has argued that U.S. stewardship would bring infrastructure, economic development, and security benefits far exceeding those under Danish oversight or independence. Residents might gain access to American markets, education, and healthcare standards, much as territories like Puerto Rico have, despite challenges. Canada, too, benefits enormously from proximity to the U.S. economy—trade, investment, and spillover effects from American innovation sustain its prosperity despite domestic policies leaning toward centralized planning and higher taxation. Without the U.S. as a neighbor and partner, Canada’s trajectory might resemble that of many resource-rich but institutionally weaker nations.

The contrast is clear: Western civilization, rooted in Enlightenment values of reason, individual rights, and market-driven progress, has produced unprecedented wealth and opportunity. Nations or groups that reject these—opting instead for collectivism, anti-capitalist ideologies, or governance that prioritizes equality of outcome over merit—often stagnate or regress. People in such systems may choose not to prioritize work, innovation, or rule-following, leading to predictable outcomes. Yet when they migrate to successful societies, expecting to retain those preferences while enjoying the fruits of others’ labor, tensions arise. Trump articulated what many feel: the U.S. offers opportunity, but not at the cost of importing dysfunction. Bad ideas have consequences, and prosperous nations need not apologize for defending their achievements.

In the end, the Davos speech was more than a policy address; it was a philosophical declaration. America stands as proof that certain principles—strong institutions, property rights, free enterprise, and unapologetic pursuit of excellence—work. Others do not. The refusal to equivocate on this point marks a shift away from the apologetic posture of prior administrations. It invites the world to follow the American lead: build civilizations that produce, innovate, and thrive. Those who do will prosper; those who cling to failing models will not. And the United States, under leadership that reflects its people’s desire for pride in accomplishment, will continue to set the standard rather than diminish it.

The Armour of God: Being the arbriter of divine justice

I understood Melania Trump’s outfit for the Inauguration. Retribution comes to mind, and appropriately so. Nobody should expect to get away with what they did to the Trumps under any circumstances. And being a person who expresses herself through fashion, I understood Melania’s message clearly. She’s the same age as my wife, so culturally, we all share the same references, and the first thing that came to my mind was the Clint Eastwood film, High Plains Drifter. Melania says what she needs to tell through fashion, and she was holding the Bibles for Trump at his swearing-in; her look was undoubtedly expressive. It was stylish and, for most people, very stunning. Indeed, she did not take the safe road. However, after I saw Trump’s speech to Davos, I knew precisely what they were doing, and it was undoubtedly the appropriate message.

Now, what have I been telling you all along?

You can tell that, as a couple, they have talked about this moment and what they would do if they had the opportunity to return to the White House. And by the way that Trump spoke to the very people who had plotted his destruction, the people I call the Desecrators of Davos, Trump knew what he needed to do. With her big wide-brimmed hat, Melania Trump might have been the visual expression of President Trump himself. But President Trump personally delivered the much-deserved rebuke right in front of their faces to some of the most evil people on planet Earth. He was doing on a large scale what the movie High Plains Drifter did in a fictional sense to a much smaller town called Lago, set in the old west and the efforts of western expansion that explored the challenges psychologically of a people trying to settle in a remote part of the world while trying to manage the temptations of a lack of law and order.

In the movie, a wonderfully psychological thriller that was one of the early directing efforts by Clint Eastwood, which he also starred in, a stranger rides into town, and he appears to have very superior gunfighting skills, for which the city wants to hire him to protect them from three bandits that are about to be released from jail. The three criminals want revenge for what the town did to them. They hired them to kill Marshal Duncan over mining rights to the city, and in the process, the entire town was a little bit guilty of the murder. Once the killers were put in jail for the crime, they swore revenge upon release, which is why the town now was seeking to kill the killers by hiring the strange gunman, Clint Eastwood. It’s a very good movie and certainly one of my favorites. I don’t mind saying that I loved the film so much that it inspired the contents of my book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, because, in both cases, the contents are about much more than what is shown at face value. I talk about being a ghost in my book and life because of the lessons I learned from that great movie, High Plains Drifter. You can often do much more in the world as a ghost than as a flesh and blood, earthly figure. The town is paralyzed with fear and guilt by all they have done to the point where they will do anything the Stranger says. Anything. And when I saw Trump talking to the Davos crowd, it was the same thing as Clint Eastwood showed in that movie, where the entire town served him, hoping to erase their guilt for past crimes by committing all new ones and appeasing a power they recognize as being superior to them.

Of course, the Stranger punishes everyone in town who has revenge coming. And we find out at the end that the Stranger all along looks to have been the ghost of Marshal Duncan. He knew what he was doing because he was the person that they had all killed. And he came back to life to get revenge on them all. And I know that look on Trump’s face, the confidence that comes from surviving death and getting another chance to get revenge on the people who hurt you. I try not to make all these stories about me, but I use my personal experience to give a foundation to any testimony. And I know what it feels like to survive circumstances where you were almost killed but are spared by the Armour of God to bring to the world revenge in the way that God understands it. It is a very satisfying feeling when you realize that God puts his hand on you to be his instrument of retribution. And, after the assassination attempts against Trump right before the election, you can tell he’s feeling it. I have walked away from major, major, very devastating car crashes at high speeds, over 100 miles an hour, and slept like a baby that was unharmed just a few hours later except for a few bumps and bruises. I have been shot at lots of times. I have had many plots for my demise fail spectacularly by people who are very good at those kinds of things, and I was able to make complete fools of them over and over again. It was amazing that Trump’s assassin missed his head by just millimeters. Such a close call certainly gets your attention and shows divine intervention. But I can count more than 50 times I have experienced such a rare occurrence, which is statistically impossible once, let alone that much. I don’t think about it much daily, but watching Trump at Davos reminded me of all those times, and statistically speaking, it’s far more than luck at work. That’s why I talk about the Book of Ephesians so much; it is the best literature in the world at describing the power and need for the Armour of God. It’s a very real thing for a few select people fortunate enough to experience it. But to feel it, you essentially have to face death and survive. And once you realize that the hand of God is on you, you fear nothing.

In High Plains Drifter, it isn’t revealed until the end of the movie that the Stranger is the ghost of Marshal Duncan, which then explains why he knew so much about the characters he was torturing throughout the movie, using the guilt of their crimes as a weapon to destroy them personally. It also explains why the Stranger had no fear of death because he had already gone through that ordeal and was resurrected by the hand of God to enact revenge on the wicked. It’s a wonderful story, and retribution is a morality of its own. Trump, dealing with the most sinful people on planet Earth all collected together, did precisely what he needed to do. And all they could do was sit there and take it. Trump, with the Armour of God on him, knew what they had all done, and he was intent on making them all choke on their guilt. This is precisely what happened at Davos at the end of his speech. They clapped like fools toward their own demise. And Trump earned the right to do it because they tried to kill him many times over. He survived to come back to the White House and give retribution to all those worldwide who were in on the many crimes against him. Whether it’s a little fictional town called Lago from High Plains Drifter or the entire global community of politicians and business leaders plotting to rule over us all, retribution was the theme. And a well-deserved theme defined best by Melania Trump’s fantastic attire at the Inauguration. A retribution well deserved by an executor of justice for which Trump became the Hell-hound from the grave to bring justice to those who deserve severe punishment for the crimes they committed against all humanity.

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

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

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

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

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

Defeating China by Supporting the Rebels in Hong Kong: America’s most important wars are the once we have yet to fight

No, no, no, this is not a new thing. However, to answer the question about my interest in the Flying Tigers, the AVG group led by General Claire Chennault during World War II, my love and support for that particular military group is not new. It goes back to my first conscious moments and even to such an extent that I painted my soap box derby car in the fifth grade to look like the paint job on a P40 from that famous group that defended China from Japan in the war’s opening days. When I say China must be defeated, as I have for years, and it does, I’m talking about the original mission to free the Chinese people from tyranny, and I am obsessively committed to that mission, as I have said in the press following the release of my most recent book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business so much so that I was banned from LinkedIn because they are pro-China and anti-capitalist. Unlike most people, I know much of what has gone wrong in the background of the world of finance that has made the mess we have today, built mainly on revelations from the excellent book by Chennault, his biography, The Way of the Fighter. One thing that has always bothered me about the Japanese attack on China was where they got all the money to have a tiny island nation attack such a large part of Asia, and for what reason? It has never made sense to me, and it wasn’t until we watched how the Ukraine war was exposed with Russia that all the dots connected. World War II was essentially a created war where big finance that wanted globalism funded the tyrants, such as J.P. Morgan’s relationship with Mussolini and Henry Ford and the crown of England with the Nazis. You’ll find that the same foreign investors who are now part of the World Economic Forum were the ones who bought the bonds in Japan to encourage the Emperor there to do his part. And the design was to topple the sovereignty of countries to usher in global Marxism everywhere and create the world we have today. Once Japan had done its job and killed off a vast portion of the Chinese people, the funding was cut off, America won the war after Midway turned the tide, and the Communists led by Mao Zedong were able to move in from the north and quickly take over.

China was, and is, a created state. Communism is a European concept developed in Germany and London by Karl Marx, so it has nothing to do with Asian culture. When Nixon got pulled into this globalist concept, China was still a backwater dump. However, under the flag of globalism, spread by the United Nations, which was the point of World War II, international finance started investing in the stability of the communist country, making it what it is today. When Hong Kong was turned back over to China after years of English occupation, the current ruler of China, Xi Jinping, decided that it was time to turn a capitalist zone into a complete communist slave state, as is the plan for the rest of the world, as Covid was part of the plan. This is a long war with many shadowy figures in the background; looking back on history, we can see their footprints. But know this: all the dictators of the world were created caricatures intent to support the mechanisms of global banking efforts at the expense of national sovereignty. That crack in the wall was evident due to the exploits of the AVG in China. Foreign policy, not just for the United States but for much of the world, is not shaped by politicians but by international banking, and they hide now in the mountains of Davos, ruling through the paperwork and bureaucracy of a global administrative state. Those fingers reach all our communities through banking relationships. And if we ever want to make America Great Again, we will have to, once and for all, solve this horrendous problem with our financial relationships. It’s a hard pill to swallow when people pay respects to their loved ones who died in all these wars, only to find out the whole thing in a modern context was a massive scam of global insurrection.

China must be defeated, which I outlined how in my book. Plenty of people have now read it, and a quiet little movement of our own has been going on behind the scenes. In the same way that globalists have attacked us all, they are more vulnerable than we ever were so that they can be dismantled as well. And after their actions, they deserve it. The way I propose to destroy China as a hostile communist threat poised to rule the world is to prop up the rebels of Hong Kong who are still holding out from the tyranny that has been pushed upon them. China is a lot more fragile than the globalists want you to believe, as they are entirely propped up by international finance. They are essentially a European state as communism is an export that they have adopted and have been built entirely off outside money, just as Japan was. And how they are using Ukraine now to do the same. The weakness is in supporting Hong Kong rebels and undoing what was done after World War II. If you want to defeat globalism, they are most vulnerable in China. Hong Kong is supported just as European globalists put Mao in power to topple China as a free country, using Japan to break the back of Chiang Kai-shek and Madam Chiang. Then, when Japan had done what they were sent to do, the funding dried up, and we dropped a nuclear bomb to stop the war, just as the world might have turned off the spigot to a water line.

And yes, China has more than shown its aggression toward America, buying up land and many other assets to gain control of our economy in hostile ways. They have certainly bought up our political class, and Joe Biden is their straw man. They are playing the role that Japan played against China years ago for the same objective. To destroy America as a depleted nation, then to have the saviors of international finance come in and clean up the mess as a captured asset. Think about all that on this Fourth of July as you celebrate your freedoms. Your planned demise is being orchestrated as we speak by China, propped up as a globalist powerhouse, made for international destruction, as a weapon of war. However, they are vulnerable if people understand what game is being played. China is most vulnerable from free rebellions coming out of Hong Kong. To defeat globalism, we must defeat China as a communist state, and that means the rebels of Hong Kong need our help, not from our captured government but from the MAGA movement that is taking America back from international financial influence. The most important wars that America will fight are not the ones in the past but the ones currently in front of us. And our allies are in Hong Kong, not in the communist government created by the architects behind the United Nations for global domination. No peace can be achieved with these people. They must be defeated in all the ways they have attacked us. And it will be messy. But first, we must identify the targets and beat them where they hide. And the way to smoke them out in Davos is to destroy the mask they hide behind, which is China. And the best way to do that is to weaken the communist party out of Hong Kong and to topple the country from the inside out, as they have been trying to do to us in America. Which, based on their behavior, is perfectly fair game. They started it. We have to finish it.

The Dummies of Davos: Rather than taking over the world they should be in jail

Yikes, this year’s World Economic Forum meetings in Davos were not very appetizing. Whatever they were trying to do, in looking like a bunch of smart people gathered to talk about solving the world’s problems, it blew up in their faces quite dramatically. As I say all the time, I watch the reports from Davos whenever they have them, so I have observed them evolve over the years. They are entertaining, and I enjoy watching what those kinds of people think, even if I disagree with them. Regarding the Davos participants, many people are naturally insecure about what they believe are “smart people.” The World Economic Forum participants tend to be highly educated, and the natural assumption is that because of their many years of commitment to academics, they are naturally more intelligent than the average person. So automatically, a barrier between them and everyone else forms, which they exploit to their advantage. Over the years, they have used that relationship to make a move for world domination because of their leverage over people who form across the lines of intelligence. The Davos participants are a group of people who assume that they are the smartest people in existence and that, by that nature, they should rule over those not as smart as them. They think they know better than any of the world’s governments and the people who elected them what should happen on Earth and how the affairs of human beings should be conducted. And because most people don’t feel very confident in having a conversation with academic people, all conflicts are avoided and the Davos types came away with the impression that they had a right to rule the world, almost as if it were an obligation to their existence.

I would say that such impressions of intelligence only grew because people didn’t know who any of those people were. But once you understand them a bit, you find out that they aren’t very smart, just as is the case with most academic types. Once that natural assumption is removed, and you talk to some of these people, you find out that they aren’t brilliant and pursue academic lifestyles to disguise their insecurities about intelligence. And at that point, the ruse falls apart. Which is what has been happening in Davos over the last several years. It used to be that nobody outside of their network paid any attention, except people like me. But because of their massive political tampering around the world, by attempting to take over governments by unelected bureaucrats, and their role in starting the Covid crisis, which was detrimental to happiness everywhere, people are paying more attention to these malcontents than they ever have before which has forced them, at Davos, to be more self-conscious knowing that the world was paying attention to their every word, and scrutinizing it. Now, with the freedom of speech that is quite common on social media, especially in the United States, the filters the World Economic Forum has enjoyed in the past aren’t present, and people are noticing that not only are Klaus Schwab and the gang not very smart, but they are radical leftists that are dangerous to everyone’s personal lives. The more people learned about them, the harder they had to work to make a good public impression, which did not turn out well for them. Because they are coming across as the phonies they always were, without the intimidating presence of intelligence to back it up.

Not that there is anything wrong with academics, but most of the time, the case is “those who can’t do, teach” certainly comes into play here. What Davos was this year, 2024, was a collection of micromanagers who have very little understanding of how the world works and what the people in it are really like. Like most academics who pursue such a life to protect themselves from social judgment, the game works until reality displays the opposite. It’s not enough to have theories about how things should work. But when those theories are imposed upon people who know better because of vast life experience, the results are never good for the academic, and that is the best way to describe this past year of events at Davos. They failed miserably if they were trying to show how smart and capable they would be running a one-world government. Rather, they overplayed their hand because of the level of scrutiny they now have to overcome. More people are now paying attention to their antics, and that pressure negatively affects them. Most of the events of the week were centered around building trust with the public, which they had lost. And their market brand has taken a massive hit, which I would say they deserve emphatically. Over the last decade, they had a public impression of being “elite” in the world. But now, they just looked like a bunch of out-of-touch fools full of untested ideas that would only make everyone much more miserable along the way. And in trying to overcome that level of public scrutiny, they made fools of themselves. It’s hard to believe that anybody used to listen to these people: John Kerry, Larry Fink, Bill Gates, and many others. But people are much less inclined now that they know more about these people. The brand of the World Economic Forum has taken a major hit.

My name for them over the years has been the Desecrators of Davos because they tended to want to desecrate everything in the world that was related to value and national culture since they desired to rule the world, literally being the creation of the United Nations. Their fantasy has been to be like the United States, only a collection of socialist nations as opposed to capitalist-driven states. And that they were going to shame and desecrate any lifestyle that did not facilitate their whims of progressive thought. But their approach made their effort appear more like a day in the life of the high school homecoming queen who ruled the halls of the government schools with peer pressure and inviting people to her latest party as the only claim to power. Once people caught on, they were fine and free to enforce that rule by doing many other things there was to do in life but appease some worthless homecoming queen just to be seen being near her. I would say that these characters deserve a new name, based on their performance at this year’s Davos events, and that is the Dummies of Davos because that is the only explanation of their performance that anyone could make. What they showed to the world was dumb. It is hardly the kind of behavior that would cause people to want to follow them and change their governments to appease their wishes. What we know now is that most of those participants weren’t only dumb, but they should be under investigation or in jail for the mass destruction they have sponsored as part of their globalist social experiments that went wrong. Law enforcement within the countries affected should arrest them and lock them away before they could do more harm. And that the Dummies of Davos could be prevented from further harm in the critical years to come.

The Government Plan to Cheapen Death: Hiding the massive crime of Covid from public justice

Why aren’t the people involved in producing the COVID-19 vaccine and distributing it in jail? Or at least in court explaining why we have a lot of people under the age of 50 suddenly dying at a much more rapid rate than usual? Instead, as it is in Ohio, we have billboards up advertising from the Department of Health that people should get their COVID-19 vaccine and booster shots to avoid contracting the virus, which, based on the evidence, is complicit in an act that is highly probable, deliberately harming people. Ladies and gentlemen, Covid was a scam, a plandemic put on by global economic terrorists, and they have killed people in the process, and ruined the lives of just about everyone on planet earth. And they should be prosecuted and punished for what they did to the world, not put in power or listened to about anything. I wouldn’t trust anything these people would say, including what we should watch on television. I’m certainly not an “anti-science” kind of guy, but that’s not what we are talking about regarding the COVID shots and the virus itself. It’s good to have medicine to avoid getting sick so people can continue to work and be productive instead of lying around on a bed and getting healthy again. But Covid was a developed bioweapon made in a lab in Wuhan by American globalists who wanted to help the World Economic Forum perform a Great Reset of the world’s economy and to push it from a capitalist one into a communist model, such as what China has. They built the weapon in China because of the low regulatory environment, much less hot than Fort Detrick, where the whole project was started, and they planned to use the tight controls that the Chinese government had over the media to contain the story.

Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates, along with many others, conspired with the American government and many other governments around the world through the World Economic Forum and their organizations of influence, The World Health Organization and The United Nations, to perform gain of function research so to make a Covid virus transmissible to humans, which under natural immunity wasn’t possible. COVID was a hypervirus made to suddenly transmit to humans under cover of vaccine preparation so that people would have medicine when viruses hit. Ralph Baric was one of the people involved at the core of the story who performed this gain of function under the assumption that they could remove the elements of human tampering, which is why Dr. Fauci denied any tampering because he thought the human imprint had been expelled from the process, that the fingerprints so to say, were removed and the evidence was destroyed. But Duke University and other places figured out how to read the genetic manipulation and have uncovered the destroyed proof, so now we know, without question, that COVID was created in a lab for use as a bioweapon against a global population intent to drive people toward more government regulation and a change in economic values. So there is nothing worse than a created virus to spread harm to a human population globally than perhaps the medicine associated with it. Why should people be forced or even encouraged to take medicine for a virus that isn’t even natural for human beings anyway? Nature already built immunity to the COVID-19 virus, and by introducing a weaponized version of that virus into the population, what could have gone wrong?

I would argue that many guilty parties are so arrogant in believing they can control media narratives and the legal system that they are thumbing their noses at the world. And that protecting vaccine makers from prosecution is part of the problem. And so is desensitizing people to the concept of death to hide this massive crime. For instance, we might recall recently the hockey player who was cut across his neck during a game by a rival player’s skate. It killed him right there on the ice in front of a filled arena and on live television. It was murder to my eyes, yet you didn’t hear them talking about it on ESPN and other Phizer-sponsored broadcasts. Politicians like getting money for campaigns from the pharma companies, so nobody pushed the issue of prosecution and spoke about what a tragedy it was to see such a killing on live television. Over the past several years, especially since we have seen COVID-19, it is evident that the reporting of deaths has been minimized. There is what looks to be a purposeful campaign to desensitize people toward death and to accept such losses as a fact of life. This attitude is a market push by all the same flawed characters, and they are the ones bringing us no romance in movies, so to push a social agenda toward the destruction of the family and to make masculinity appear toxic to the same social engineers that are invited to speak at the World Economic Forum in Davos. They have ruined music by infusing communism into the money structure of marketing and distribution to keep any social messages in pop culture tightly controlled and much less expressive. Death and cheapening it is their current agenda so to hide their massive crime in a devalued society, and they are laughing at us with every Health Department billboard encouraging people to get a vaccine shot for a fake virus as a result of a phony government-controlled pandemic.

Covid was the crime of the century, and the vaccines were already ready before it was released. Now that Trump is coming back into politics, officially, people are playing back what happened in 2020 when he got wrapped up in the scam because, at the time, he had no other option but to trust the science. Dr. Fauci was there as the highest-paid government employee, and Bill Gates had this obsession with vaccines, and nobody had any reason not to trust them when they demanded that the economy be shut down and that people listen to another economic terrorist, Richard Hatchett when he designed the social distancing policies advised by our own CDC not to protect people from this government-made virus but to destroy the concept of any individual rights that the world might have left, especially the Bill of Rights in America. This was an officially stated objective by Hatchett discussed before the virus’s release. And these kinds of people advised Trump in that critical year. The social controls got much worse under Biden, as he moved to make the vaccine distribution among the public mandatory, where the government could tell people what kind of medicine to take for a virus that they created in the first place. And as a result, people look to be dying everywhere, prematurely. It happens every day. And to help cover up the massive crime that has killed many millions and continues to, we are being desensitized to even the concept of death. We now accept death much more casually than before COVID-19, and that is part of covering up the original crime, which is stealing from us an entirely new generation. It is the greatest catastrophe known to planet Earth, far worse than anything else, and the government is still playing the game of COVID-19, which obviously produces a vaccine that has negative health attributes for a percentage of people. And when they die of those effects, we have a media culture and governments that are covering it up to protect the drug makers so they can continue to do their illicit deed, to the death of the innocent in large amounts that looks to be connected to a larger plan to participate in a depopulation agenda, not for the good of people, but the religion of Gaia, and the mass sacrifices that have always been attribute to that worship from the lunatics of history.

It’s Far Worse Than Anybody Thought: Covid was a Bioweapon and a Criminal Enterprise Released from China by Private/Corporate Terrorists, and those People Must be Prosecuted

Coming out of Davos in 2024 is something that I have been warning about for a few years now, and of course, with things being the way they are, we are getting the details. There are certainly plans from the same monsters who created the Covid crisis to unleash Disease X. And when you want to know who to go after for its development and release, just turn your gaze to the unelected monsters who attended the World Economic Forum in Davos. We now know that COVID was a bioweapon created by a criminal syndicate and released from China by private/corporate terrorists. Some of those terrorists are common household names, like Bill Gates and Dr. Fauci. Others are not so well known, like Richard Hatchett and Ralph Baric. We know that people made it to destroy the world, and we know the names; they have been listed nicely in the Robert F. Kennedy book, The Wuhan Cover-up, which I can’t say enough about how good and relevant that book is. And it’s one of those stories much worse than reporting can point out. There was nothing natural about Covid or the methods used to deal with it. If the people who were behind the Covid outbreak of 2020 are not punished in a kind of war trial type of way, they will be inspired to do it all again, only this time worse than before. Of course, people learned at this most recent Davos gathering that Disease X is ready to go, which is why none of these people fear prosecution. Because they can release such a virus at will, and they already have a vaccine to protect them from the ramifications. We are dealing with a new kind of war here that most people can’t even wrap their minds around, yet here it is.

Richard Hatchett came up with the paper that caused the lockdowns and promoted the China strategy, not for health reasons but to crush the concept of the Bill of Rights. It’s on pg. 382 of The Wuhan Cover-up. Then, on pg. 386, he recommends to the Chinese, “There is a literature which I would certainly encourage the Chinese authorities to review.” His direct attack was on the Bill of Rights from a 2007 study and a 2006 Pandemic Influenza Implementation Plan. When you want to know who created the ridiculous lockdown plans, it all started with this guy. Covid cost America alone 16 trillion dollars in losses and destroyed over a million small businesses. Who is going to pay for all that? And it was Ralph Baric, the prolific gain of function researcher at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill who mastered the cloning of the RNA viruses and seamless ligation technology that hides genetic manipulation in a process called the “no-wee-um” method. Yet, we know that Covid was genetically modified to jump from animals to humans by Baric’s people, and Dr. Fauci knew all about it. They were haughty about what they had done because they thought nobody would ever figure out that they had erased their crime. However, researchers from Duke University and the University Clinics of Wurzburg found a way to see these invisible identifiers, and they have been able to trace back that manipulation into SARS-CoV-2. That means humans made Covid in the lab at Wuhan under the full knowledge of people like Bill Gates, who was pushing for a gain of function to build vaccines ahead of time for a bioweapon that the Department of Defense could never make in the states due to regulatory oversight. China didn’t care, so everyone moved their operation there so that nobody would learn what they were doing with taxpayer money, thinking that they had the cover of a communist tyrannical government to hide their crimes.

Ultimately, this is the danger of letting a few control the many. It’s a nightmare scenario when mindless bureaucrats are given too much power over individuals and, indeed, explain the faults of an administrative state. We can never again let people like Dr. Fauci or Ralph Baric have power over the masses, no matter what you think of their sanity. When coming up with the concept of COVID protocols, Richard Hatchett let it be known in his recommendations that the target wasn’t the virus itself but the behavior of the masses in destroying the concept of individual rights, such as the Bill of Rights in America. These power-hungry maniacs can never be allowed to have the kind of power they had with COVID-19, where Bill Gates used his money to buy up media that hid the whole crime from the public with serious misinformation, which money could then determine what information was valid. Such as they did with the medical journal The Lancet, formally respected but shown during Covid to be just another whore of outside money that would say anything for a price, no matter what it did to the world. They lied, and lots of people died and continue to have their lives ruined by Covid. Covid alone is worse than any war experienced on Earth, and now we know it was only a test. The deadly viruses made by these same people are loaded up and ready to go from a bioweapons facility in various places around the world. And it’s why many of these people knew that COVID was a bioweapon meant to make globalist health policy through an emergency that would suspend the world’s constitutions and give power to the United Nations through the World Health Organization.

Thousands of people were knowingly part of this crime, and they did it anyway. The Biden administration knew by the time that they demanded everyone take the vaccine that Covid was a bioweapon made by the government for just what they were using it for. People like Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates had no problem lying to President Trump about COVID-19, and they felt they were beyond the reach of the American government. That they were untouchable like some mob boss feels they have paid off all the cops and prosecutions, so they are immune to justice. COVID was not an accident; it was a purposeful terrorist act against the freedoms of all people everywhere in the world, and they attacked us viciously with that bioweapon. The bioweapon was not intended to bring harm to other countries; it was made to force compliance and to develop vaccines that the new power would control so they could pick who was going to live and who would die, which was the ultimate conquest of the world. By the time people figured it out, they would have control of the deadly viruses they make in labs, and the vaccines will be under the control of the World Economic Forum characters who have been after a Great Reset of wealth distribution for decades. And this was an attack by them that can only be viewed as a radical leftist military invasion of the entire world. And if you wanted to continue living, you’d have to do what they say, take their vaccines, and give up all your rights. Which was their plan all along, and why they no longer hide their plans, such as what was revealed in 2024 at Davos and their next weapon is Disease X.

The Fed’s Plans for a CBDC: It’s the entire reason for the Biden presidency, and they are close

I love Jackson Hole, Wyoming; I spent some time there recently with my family. It’s where the Fed gets together with bankers from all over the world, it’s the bean counter version of Davos, and it’s something I have paid attention to for a long time. It’s also where one of my favorite movies, Every Which Way You Can, was filled. While there, I had to visit all the filming locations for the big fight at the movie’s end. And it is there that my daughter and I like to get new cowboy hats; there is an exceptional store on the square that is fantastic. But it is there that I wanted a hat because I wanted to think about the notion that much of the world’s problems are created through monetary policy, and it’s a reminder that Jackson Hole, as lovely as it is, brings out the most pretentious in these stiff bankers, and aligns them with all the horrendous out-of-touchness that is typical at the World Economic Forum meetings in Davos. Smart, stiff people suddenly surrounded by beautiful mountains who start to think of themselves as the gods from Mt. Olympus. Then suddenly, they lose track of reality and become the kind of tyrants people scream “freedom” from. But that doesn’t make Jackson, Wyoming, a bad place because people go there and create bad monetary policy. I see it as a place of adventure, and during that most recent trip, I pulled my RV through the McDonald’s drive-thru to get my grandchildren some chicken nuggets before heading south into Utah for the next leg of our journey, which caused quite a stir. They had never seen anybody do something like that, which maybe is the actual message. Perhaps they should because a bit of managed recklessness is essential to significant economies and avoids disastrous discussions about the Fed proposal of a CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency)

Of course, the Fed wants to abuse its power, most institutions find those temptations too seductive, and there will never be a group of people who handles too much responsibility well. That doesn’t mean you never have groups of people with massive responsibilities, it just means that you can never allow them to have too much power, and that is what all central bankers are looking for in the world, more security for them and less freedom for you. It’s also why I say that the election fraud was so bad in 2020 because many financial forces aligned with the World Economic Forum are looking for stability that the Trump economy was set not to provide for them. So they conspired together to commit the most significant election fraud in the history of the world, and they did it essentially to make a CBDC in America possible. (Central Bank Digital Currency) The Fed is already practicing Modern Monetary Theory, so it’s all on the table with a CBDC to control every aspect of our lives. That’s the plan and has been the plan coming up every August at these Fed meetings in Jackson Hole for a long time now. Suppose you know anything about those timid types who desire with all their hearts some centralized stability in global communism. In that case, you can understand why they cheat in elections, especially in 2020. They will do anything to win again and protect their worldview. ANYTHING! The current status of Central Bank Digital Currency is that many central banks around the world are exploring the possibility of creating their digital currencies. The goal is to provide a secure and efficient way of conducting transactions while maintaining control over monetary policy. Some countries, such as China, have already begun testing their digital currencies. However, many questions and concerns still surround implementing CBDCs, including privacy, security, and financial stability. It will be interesting to see how this technology develops and how it will impact the global economic landscape in the future.

Joe Biden was put in place in 2020 over President Trump to establish a CBDC during his term. The first term would set up the conditions; the second would get it done. This is the one world currency discussed and why the World Economic Forum wants to go to a cashless society. Most everything the radical leftists in the world, who now run many of these central banks complete with ESG scores as their primary drivers, is to impose a China model, communist-driven, CBDC into the American economy, which will then give complete control of governments over people by changing values of money with the push of the button. This is why Biden’s radical communist party has no concern whatsoever about the debt and why Modern Monetary Theory, which they deny they know anything about, is such a lucrative strategy for them. They can wipe away debt with the push of a button because the value is determined by those controlling money, not the actual production provided by economic activity. And suppose it’s a one-world currency controlled by the influences of the World Economic Forum, which already controls the Federal Reserve in the United States. In that case, nothing can stop them from completely dominating the world’s money supply. That is the end game that the Fed is talking about this year in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, as they look at the lovely mountains and sip lattes early in the morning as they watch elk cross the street. Isn’t nature so beautiful? It makes you want to impose ESG scores on banks to fulfill fake climate change criteria to advance the concept of a CBDC into a Liberal World Order.

It is with a CBDC that the Biden administration hopes to disconnect people from their lives by turning them off entirely from economic activity. If the only currency available is those controlled by corrupt centralized governments, people will have no choice but to capitulate. That is how it is in China increasingly, and the Biden administration is drooling over the prospects in the United States. They couldn’t quite get it done fast enough to be in Biden’s first term, so they plan to do it in the second if he lives long enough. But that is why they want a brain-dead stooge in the White House. For them, Kamala Harris will do just fine. All she has to do is sign where they tell her to. They could care less about anything else because if they control the money, they control all of society. If you don’t like it, they don’t care. They can turn you off at the gas pump with the flick of a button. They can steal all your savings. Take your home if you don’t vote how they want you to. And life as we know it will then be controlled by the lunatics at Davos because of the Fed policies set at Jackson Hole every August, as they have been working toward this CBDC concept. And yes, it’s every bit as bad and more than you can imagine. Yet they think nobody will catch them on it until it’s too late, which has already blown up in their face. That means that this year’s trip to Jackson Hole by the global bankers, especially those directly connected to the Fed, is to do damage control. Not to present the status as much as how to keep it alive through this next election cycle and the threat to them of another Trump term. Good for us, bad for them. Very bad.

The SAG Strike with the Writers in Hollywood is a Dumb Idea: But I predicted it years ago, and here it is, which will destroy them forever

The strike from the Screen Actors Guild is probably the dumbest thing we’ve seen in a long time. Many things are colliding simultaneously that will essentially kill the Hollywood industry. Yet, they seem brain-dead and numb to how the world sees them. As I always remind people, labor unions are all communist organizations, so the idea of stopping work through collective bargaining comes straight from Karl Marx. There is nothing “redeeming” or “American” about what they are doing. It’s essentially one set of radical lefties fighting against a bunch of New World Order studios who dance to the tune of BlackRock and the lefties of finance. One of the main reasons that Hollywood is so radically left is because that is what it takes to be one of the elites working in Hollywood. If you are a lefty, the studios might give you work if you are lucky. There are really very few actors and actresses who can make a living off acting in Hollywood. I know from personal experience and have seen this problem unusually close. And many years ago, I saw this collision coming, and here it is. Labor unions make motion pictures and television too expensive for a studio to produce. The residuals of production are too much of a pain in the neck, and essentially, we have arrived at a place where that cost just isn’t worth it to a studio. What it costs to make a movie and everyone involved just doesn’t justify the revenue stream. After Covid happened, this whole mess was exposed. Hollywood would need some kind of reset for their cost model. Yet the actors and writers who are now both on strike want things to be as they have been, which was never sustainable.

I’ve told some personal stories about Hollywood in other places, but not in this context. For most of my adult life, I wanted to be a film director, actor, writer, and producer. It was really the only thing I wanted to do from age ten to forty. And there were many times when I came really close to getting into that line of work. For years I had to pay fees to the Writers Guild and interact with that side of the business, which I didn’t like. Things were less political back then, so the politics of it was less of a concern. But there was one project with A-listers who were doing a project for RealD 3D that I met while at a film festival, as I was providing stunt work involving bullwhips as I was a member of the World Stunt Organization at the time. So they flew me out to Hollywood for a project involving some of the people from the Twilight movie series and Beverly Hills 90210. They gave me my own trailer, so I was being treated as the featured talent on the project with many veteran producers and actors, so I had a chance to see things behind the scenes. And what I learned, painfully, was that Hollywood was not for me. It was the union attitude that I had no tolerance for, and it was at that project in 2008 I realized that I was never going to work in Hollywood because of my disdain for unions. I couldn’t be in them and didn’t want to work with their rules. And the entire town was built on unionized labor. I had several conflicts on that particular project with unionized staff, and it became obvious to me that the unions had taken all the fun out of making movies.

Ironically, I was there because of my hatred of unions because I was one of the only people in the world who had a very unique skill set that was willing to let RealD 3D screen capture my work, which would then go on to provide animation for films like Ironman 2 and the Immortals. The precise issue that the SAG members are striking on now is concerns over A.I. taking over acting and a loss of revenue regarding streaming services. Many people told me that if I did this project, I would never work in Hollywood again because once you gave the studios what they wanted, such as screen captures of me using firewhips, I would be done as a whip consultant for all future movies. After all, they wouldn’t need a person to perform that since they had all the footage from me that digital animators could then use for future projects. Well, my love was for telling stories, and if I could help make that easier, I was all for it. Many union members were on the set, but it was a nonunion enterprise because it was established as a pitch session. So I was nonunion showing what a potential pitch might do for a studio. The union people were there hoping to tag on to the project’s development. I was pro studio and certainly pro-RealD 3D. And as much as I liked the experience of being in Hollywood and working with people important in the industry, I grew very frustrated with the union mentality on that film set. So, when it was over, I made a decision that I would refocus my efforts. Barack Obama had just been elected; I joined my local Tea Parties in Cincinnati and put my efforts into those types of things. Largely because I witnessed the terrible burden that labor unions had placed on an industry I loved. But the problem had carried over into just about every element of politics in general.

When I saw the reasons for this latest strike of the SAG members being led by Fran Drescher, I knew it was the collapse of something that had been artificially propped up for many years. Movies cost too much because labor expected too many things, and studios had become too liberal over time because of their interaction with these communist unions and their liberal world order masters in finance. Conservative ideas weren’t even a consideration, and those are the people in the world buying tickets. So there was no way that the movie industry and television would last, and this strike would kill them. It will kill Hollywood, and it was a dumb thing to do. But it’s been brewing for a long time, and I have seen it from the other side and knew it would never last. Ultimately it is part of the collapse that is going on everywhere. People will not miss Hollywood. But Hollywood will miss the business. YouTube, in many ways, is far more influential. Some very serious people contacted me a few years ago about my life and wondered why I wasn’t making movies. And I explained to them that the entire industry needed to go through a reset period; this was before Covid. I told them that producing a movie wasn’t good business, and that I was doing other things that made much more sense. If you want to make a movie, you have to deal with unionized labor to get it into distribution, and that just wasn’t worth it to me. I told them that I’d see how things shaped up in the future. But under the union rules, it wasn’t fun, and I wanted no part of it. And now the industry is exactly where I said it would be. This is a sign of what will happen to the Liberal World Order and the Deep State in general. All these communist groups that have hidden in plain sight are falling apart. And the pain of it is their own doing.
