A Hyperloop Terminal in Monroe, Ohio: The only thing holding back such an emerging technology is political will

I have been thinking a lot more of it since President Trump won the election.  But once the news started leaking out of Mar-a-Lago from people who would know, my thinking about it grew into genuine excitement.  My ideas about Monroe, Ohio, becoming the focal point of a new hyperloop terminal, grew some serious legs.  Most of the people involved probably don’t know what a hyperloop is, so I put together a pitch video to explain it to them and get some conceptual faculty behind the thought.  After all, why would little ol’ Monroe, Ohio, be such a hot spot for one of the great emerging technologies on Earth?  Once I learned that Jon Husted would be appointed as the Senate seat replacement for J.D. Vance, all the elements started clicking into place.  I like Jon because of a mutual friend we have, and I know he is very pro business.  However, it only got better once I learned that Trump was very concerned about the next governor of Ohio and wanted to clear the decks for a pick he wanted after DeWine was done in a few years.  After a few years of D.O.G.E., Vivek Ramaswamy was planning to be governor, which is pretty much a slam dunk on the election process.  And I know a lot of mutual friends regarding Vivek.  And, of course, his relationship with Elon Musk then became very important.  After all, J.D. Vance will be in the White House, and economic stimulation will be very important to the Trump/Vance White House.  It was likely that Vance would be in the White House for the next 12 years, 4 with Trump, then 8 with his own administration because people won’t want Trump to go away.  And things started to get hot on my idea.

A few days before all this information emerged out of Mar-a-Lago, Musk proposed a 20 billion dollar Hyperloop connection between New York and London.  Hyperloop is something I have supported for a very long time.  I even hired a few engineers from the University of Cincinnati open source program who worked at SpaceX to develop the emerging technology so I could learn all I could about the pitfalls of the technology.  And I realized what I needed to know.  Hyperloop is a very advanced high-speed transportation system that blasts passengers in a train-like pod at 700-1000 mph conceptually through a cushion of air through a tunnel with all the air removed, almost duplicating the vacuum levels of space to remove wind resistance.  Using magnets to pull the craft along, passengers can travel much faster than a commercial airline.  This trip from New York to London would happen in just a few hours instead of much of the day and would travel under the ocean through tunneling technology from one of Elon Musk’s companies, The Boring Company.  To many people, this all sounded like crazy science fiction from Musk.  But he’s serious.  They are already building a hyperloop in Abu Dhabi, the capital city of the United Arab Emirates.  They have also built a preliminary tunneling system in Las Vegas as a kind of test bed.  China is also hard at work as it has stolen the idea from Musk.  So far, nobody has had success, but it’s not because the science is wrong.  It’s because doing such a thing takes enormous political will.  Musk has all the money in the world.  What he doesn’t have is what was forming in Ohio in the Monroe area, the political will to pull it off, from President Trump himself, who wants to do something big during his presidency with a new highway system effort that would rival what we did in America during the 1950s under Eisenhower.  Hyperloop had the opportunity to be bigger than America’s national highway system, and once that was started as a massive infrastructure project, it happened very fast and became normal. 

Monroe makes sense for the first national terminal because if there is a line for 20 billion dollars from New York to London, another 500-mile hyperloop from Monroe to New York could feed the country’s interior to the east coast with a trip that would take about 45 minutes.  And Monroe is only an hour’s drive from Columbus, Indianapolis, Lexington, Louisville and is between Cincinnati and Dayton.  Many people can drive a short distance to Monroe, where they could pick up a few hyperloop lines that would take them to places like Las Angeles, Vegas, and Orlando within a few hours.   And with such a hyperloop hub comes massive economic activity, which would feed the economically deprived hometown of J.D. Vance.  An economic goal that the Trump administration has for many such cities in America, especially along the Rust Belt.  With Governor Ramaswamy in Ohio, many good things can happen with a revitalized Trump economy that could pay down the debt and still generate several hundred billion dollars for something on this scale.  Elon Musk is working with them all to do such a thing, and the technology of The Boring Company makes it all possible.  While there are technical issues to solve, the rate of innovation isn’t the problem.  Political support is, and under the conditions described, Monroe, Ohio, suddenly looks to be the best place in the world for such an effort.  It would revitalize Middletown, Ohio, nearby Hamilton, and, of course, Dayton.  All areas that had been husked out to globalism.  Suddenly, a lot was possible for a relatively small investment. 

Musk knows how to solve this problem, which he needs to do before humans colonize the Moon and Mars.  Living on other planets will require tunnels to protect people from large doses of radiation on planets struggling with their own atmospheres until they are terraformed into habitable planets through science.  Developing a hyperloop on Earth would give The Boreing Company the experience to perform the same on other planets.  So, such an effort has value beyond the convenience of high-speed travel between long-distance destinations on Earth.  As I was talking to my good friend Senator Lang about all this, we shared an intense desire to bring more technology and aerospace imprint along that particular section of the I-75 corridor to make Ohio one of the most business-friendly places in the world.  A hyperloop terminal would go a long way to making that instantly happen.  And suppose there was a President Vance in the White House, a Governor Ramaswamy in the Ohio governor’s mansion, and the wealthiest person in the world who would do anything to get to Mars. In that case, there are a lot of dots that are getting connected if the right people help steer the ship.  So this isn’t a typical article for my usual audience, but for the powerful people I know who read in the background and can help unify everyone behind this effort.  The first thing I thought of as soon as Trump gave his acceptance speech the night of the election was, “Now we have the kind of president who can make the hyperloop possible.”  For many years now, I have considered Monroe, Ohio, the premier place to build such a terminal in the large amounts of land behind the outlet mall.  It would look techy and destination-driven, like Space Mountain from Disney World, only much larger, and impressive.  And suddenly, America would do something that would improve the lives of everyone on earth for centuries.  If only we could align the politics, which is entirely possible based on how things are shaping up.

Playing Poker with the Senate: The Art of the Deal with Pam Bondi

I think what we have going on with Trump is a lot of The Art of the Deal and a good sign of how he’s going to handle things in this next term.  This is the difference between a successful business guy and a bunch of people who sought political life because they couldn’t do anything else.  Over the years, this has been a real problem. Our current Senate has a lot of new people who lean toward the MAGA view of the world, but there are still RINO holdovers, and when J.D. Vance walked the proposed Matt Gaetz around to interview all the senators ahead of confirmation, it was like playing poker and walking around the table to see what kind of hands the other players had.  I thought Matt Gaetz was an excellent pick for Attorney General.  Probably the best pick.  But immediately after touring the Senate, Matt Gaetz mysteriously withdrew his name, and Trump announced that Pam Bondi would be the new pick, almost as if that were Trump’s plans all along.  He had talked to Pam about it, and a plan was playing out.  And what Trump learned was that there were 4 or 5 senators like Mitch McConnell who were hard no’s on Matt Gaetz and would not be convinced otherwise.  So rather than fight that uphill battle with great media fanfare, Trump just changed tactics and put a woman in that place to take off the edge for the more progressive senators and Democrats on the confirmation vote. 

Pam Bondi has done the Attorney General job in Florida during the Rick Scott as governor years.  Before that, Florida politics was a lot different as Jeb Bush set the standard, so these days, with Ron DeSantis, it’s a much different place, a much more conservative state.  When Pam Bondi was Attorney General there, she was pretty good.  My opinion is that she was more talk than action.  However, she has been loyal to President Trump and stood by an America First agenda, no matter what happened.  Is she the person who will kick down doors and drag the bad guys out for a hanging? I don’t think so.  But I think she will take on Trump’s personality in his administration, and I think that was always the gig.  I think Trump and Matt Gaetz have other plans looming in the background since he so quickly announced that he was leaving Congress during the next term.  His district is conservative, so that shouldn’t hurt during a special election.  But what we have going on here is a lot of poker playing that is not normal.  And the media doesn’t know how to report it.  And the political machines are not smart enough to understand what is happening.  Trump has a lot of senator confirmations that are going to be tough, but essentially, he put forth his most controversial pick, making all the rest seem very normal by comparison, and paraded him around to see how the Beltway would bet.  And he got his answer and gave the rest of his picks the ammunition they needed to pass confirmation in the Senate.  Although I was looking to Gaetz, Pam Bondi is about as good as we can get for a position like that, but it comes down to the Art of Making a Deal, which has always been Trump’s thing.  We will see a lot of deal-making that will come out very good for all of us.  Trump and the private sector are beating down the political machines of K-Street in a way they have never experienced before.

And that’s the name of the game in most things in life, especially poker.  I think it’s a great game, especially Texas Hold Em’ because it teaches players how to make a good hand win and how to recognize a good hand from a bad one.  Or, how to play a bad hand and still win.  Poker is about strengths and weaknesses and making the most out of personal circumstances.  It’s not about luck as much as manipulating the other players.  A player at the table could have the best hand in the world, and the person holding the bad hand can still beat them by coaxing them to fold.  And I think that’s what Trump did to the entire Senate, now led by John Thune, and appeasing the Mitch McConnell holdovers.  Trump looked at their hands and saw what he needed to do.  Matt Gaetz will be involved in something that does not require Senate confirmation but that won’t be announced until all the confirmations happen.  Once the Senate angers Trump, he’ll pull out Matt Gaetz and get things moving again.  If you are a fan of The Art of the Deal books or Poker, this is shaping up to be an exciting four years, and the established order of things is not ready.  The many media members who have learned to report political news a certain way are about to have the tops ripped off their business; there will be so much every day that nobody will understand how to process it all.  But this Matt Gaetz situation is just a hint of things to come.

You don’t always get things the way you want them.  But what’s important is that you turn unfortunate circumstances into victories however you can.  Seldom does anything work out the way you envision them.  And putting Matt Gaetz up for an AG nomination was an over-the-top bold move.  But not for the reasons people thought.  Rather than place him in a very contentious position as Attorney General, he used him to discover what the other players at the table were holding as cards.  Once J.D. Vance and Matt Gaetz learned who had what at the table, Trump put down his hand to blow them all out of the water.  And that was Pam Bondi, a pick just as good as Matt Gaetz, but she appears much more reasonable because of her polished personality after years of working in established administrations under challenging conditions.  She is the kind of person even RINO members of the Senate can vote for, if not for her politics, but because she’s a strong woman, and nobody wants to be on record going against that.  So Trump played the hand he had to best effect once he knew what the other players had.  And that’s how you win in these games, whether with a more substantial hand or a bluff.  Winning is the goal, and when it comes to getting Pam Bondi confirmed by the Senate in a way that will not harm his other picks, Trump just showed why we voted for him as the best option to Make America Great Again and why he was so successful throughout his life.  This is how business is done, and the world of useless politicians won’t be able to compete with him.  This is only the start of a lot of deals that will be made, and as Trump has shown over and over again in the past, making deals is his favorite thing to do in the world.  And he’s good at it.  And this nomination of Pam Bondi for Attorney General is just the beginning of many great things to come.

The Rebellion Against the Global Managerial Class: What causes all war

When the British were finally forced to leave New York after the Revolutionary War, as one of the final acts after their defeat at the Battle of Yorktown, they imagined that the Americans would fall apart as soon as they left the city.  But once on their ships, an officer remembered that he had left something behind in a home he had been occupying and returned to get it.  The ship landed, and the officer returned to the house and retrieved what he had left behind, which he had expected to be a dangerous enterprise.  But he was stunned, as was the rest of England, to learn that the Americans were capable of self-government and were better off with them gone.  The world in America was better without the micromanagement of an oppressive centralized force.  And that is still the fight we have to this day; a managerial class of bureaucrats is attached to globalism and wants every corner of the globe to submit to their authority.  People have a raw belief about other people and the role authority plays in their lives.  And the truth is, the kind of freedom demonstrated for the first time in the world, the creation of a new nation and a people who governed themselves was bound to occur at some point in time.  America was able to happen due to a unique period in history where shipping allowed for international trade and communication just enough to make a new country possible.  But it was still too big to have all these jealous managerial people poking their noses in everyone’s business.  For a few hundred years, America was left alone because, for one, it didn’t have much value.  So, most of the other countries in the world didn’t care much about what happened to America.  That is until it became one of the wealthiest countries in the world, and mass communications became possible. At that point, the same jealous people were thrust together into a conflict that is very much the story of our modern day.

When Barack Obama says that he doesn’t understand how we became so divided, as he did at a recent rally for Harris, as the poll numbers show his Marxist revolution in the American government is coming to an end, I don’t think he does understand his role in the mess.  He was brought into that micromanagement culture of government to be a kind of communist parent.  So, like that English officer returning to New York, this concept of self-government just doesn’t make sense to him.  And, of course, there are people within the United States and worldwide who are just as perplexed.  I would call them broken people who crave government to be a parent in their lives.  They are insecure people who do not sustain themselves properly, so they are attracted to group affiliations.  But what caused the Revolutionary War in the first place is the same desire behind the MAGA movement now.  Everyone is shocked by what they are seeing in global populism, much less government, because most people never dealt with the cause of freedom in the first place.  When we talk about a Deep State and an administrative state, we are talking about people who are personally insecure and who want to rule over people in a managerial class kind of way.  You see it at every level of society, where a superior bosses around an inferior for the joy of being in control over someone else.  And this is the essence behind all forms of globalism.  They want to control value so that they can rule over the people who want a piece of that value.  But they do not understand why people would not want to be governed by them.  Or why more value is created in a culture that rebels against a management class of overseers. 

Another common theme that has not been well understood is that the Revolutionary War was about who controlled currency.  One of the plans the English had for the newly found Americans was to crush their economy by flooding the market with counterfeit money, making all the pay and exchanges made to people worthless, and essentially destroying the effort of freedom because nobody could afford the basics in life, particularly on the frontier of private property.  This was a continued problem with George Washington, who had been very successful before he became involved in the war or the presidency.  For his efforts, he was paid with worthless money, just as everyone else was, and that misfortune lasted the rest of his life.  But Americans didn’t turn away from freedom over a lousy economy that perplexed the world and its managerial class overseas.  They never understood it, and that holds to this day.  The same kind of people who lost America to the Revolution are handling our money supply now, and they have been purposely trying to destroy our economy for the purposeful incursion of ruling over America from the newly created United Nations.  To answer Barack Obama’s question, this rebellion would always occur, even if it meant the destruction of our economy.  When that destruction was most utilized in a global policy with the creation of the Covid bioweapon that shut down the world economy, the opposite of what they thought would happen occurred.  Just as that English officer was surprised to see how Americans behaved once the managerial class of the English military packed up and left New York after that war of independence. 

The monetary policy of imposing control over those who were supposed to be happy as subordinates was never understood psychologically, so the world has made the same mistakes repeatedly.  And Americans were taught by all the wrong people about how the world was supposed to be.  What was ignored was how people wished to live, and those forces never reconciled.  And that is the heart of what we see in this current election.  People do not want to be ruled by a managerial class.  It doesn’t matter if it’s other countries, centralized bankers, aliens from space, the World Economic Forum, or China, no matter who it is. People don’t want to be controlled by a managerial class, and America shows the benefits of what freedom produces in people.  Even when attempts to destroy our economy were utilized, people did not rush back to the arms of global overseers; instead, they became more rebellious.  And are electing Trump to get the globalists out of our back pockets.  And the more managerial overseers try to keep their hands in our pockets, the more anxious we have become.  But none of this is new; it’s just that the world is finally catching up to the nature of all human beings.  They don’t want a micromanaging parental figure ruling their lives.  They want freedom from all that, and the next several years are going to be very surprising to those globalist types.  They never reconciled what that English officer learned that day in New York, which is just as accurate now as it was then.  There is nothing that this management class can do to change human nature.  Things will never be for them as they would like them to be because that is not the nature of human beings anywhere.

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.

Dope-smoking, slack-jawed losers are Running the McDonald’s in Hamilton, Ohio: A workforce that has never recoverd from Covid safety protocals

Another benefit from my grand jury service over the summer of 2024, which became a running joke among the other jurors, was what I did each day when we took a lunch break.  I don’t usually spend that much time in court, so my daily routine was tremendously interrupted for weeks at a time and during lunch, we seldom ever had time to eat a packed lunch, so I got into the habit of going to the McDonald’s across the street from the courthouse in downtown Hamilton to get a large Coke and a large Fry for a snack.  It was easy for me to get that kind of food and quickly take it back up to my desk to eat while we listened to testimony and examined evidence.  It’s not the most healthy thing to do in the world, but it was a way for me to bring a little fun to my life when there was so much negativity.  And the other jurors got a kick out of it, even when some of the afternoon cases were horrendous murders, and we had to look at crime photos of the carnage and hear from people in testimony who had gone through likely the worst thing in their life.  I enjoyed my French Fries and a Coke each day.  But what I didn’t enjoy was getting the food.  I picked that dietary expression because I didn’t want a complicated order that involved overeating food; I wanted it easy and convenient because sometimes we had a half hour for lunch, an hour, but sometimes it was as short as 15 minutes, it depended on whatever was going on that day.  But I didn’t want to wait long for the food, so I made it easy.  The food I got couldn’t get my fingers all messy because I often ate it while writing things down and talking to others. 

So, speed was not fully displayed at the McDonald’s in downtown Hamilton.  Out of the weeks that I was on the grand jury, I went to that particular McDonald’s well more than twenty times, and there wasn’t a single day where they were prepared for a lunch rush as the primary food option across the street from the Butler County Courthouse.  Not only are all the employees who work at the courthouse, which includes police officers and security, tempted to get lunch at McDonald’s, but so are all the residents who have to interact with the court.  So it’s a jam-packed store that sometimes has to push out a lot of food.  Now I know something about fast food restaurants; for many years, like the first two decades of my adult life, I worked full-time second jobs to make extra money my family needed.  Some jobs were at McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and Frisch’s.  I know what lunch and dinner rushes look like and how they must be staffed behind the scenes, away from the customer experience.  One of my offerings at these places was that I always handled pressure well and quickly.  I was often able to control two or three-line positions all by myself, which was an incredible benefit to them, and to say the least, I learned a lot.  One of these places was Wendy’s, known as “The Beach” location; it’s now a Mexican restaurant.  It was often understaffed because of the area.  There were many places for people to work, so this restaurant location was always in competition to acquire good employees.  The critical store was at the Fields Ertle location just south along I-71, which took up most of the prime labor, leaving The Beach to be perpetually understaffed but at times, one of the busiest stores in all of Cincinnati. 

To make matters even worse during these years, I was going through horrendous personal circumstances, including individual lawsuits against me, political problems that involved my stance against drug dealers that got me into a lot of trouble in my community as we lived in Mason, and some cops were making money running cover for drug dealing and I had taken a stance against that.  And my wife and I only had one car for several years because of all these problems.  So, I rode a bicycle everywhere so my wife could have a vehicle for our kids to get back and forth to school because we wouldn’t let them ride the bus with a bunch of loser kids with severe behavioral problems.  So I don’t want to hear about anybody’s problems.  I’ve been there and managed through them just fine and experienced the worst that can come to a human being.  However, the store by The Beach Water Park, closest to Kings Island, was busy during the summer months and required fast employees.  We had many call-offs, so I would typically cover the entire food line for the dining room and the drive-thru all by myself.  Nobody was faster than me in Cincinnati.  So, with that eye, I was very critical of McDonald’s in Hamilton, Ohio, which had a staff that never seemed too inclined to make sure the customers were serviced quickly and efficiently, or at times, even at all.  They gave off a pretentious feeling that we were lucky they were at work.  And it displayed several problems that I see in other places as well.  The service world has never recovered from the dumb protocols of Covid, and three years later, a fast food store like McDonald’s still had trouble recruiting employees to staff all their needed positions, and when they were short on labor, they would close their dining room and just put their efforts onto the drive-thru.  Something that no restaurant would have dared do leading up to COVID-19.  But after, it was a common practice. 

This labor problem holds in almost every field; many employees in large companies still work from home, or so they are trying.  Very progressive companies who are controlled by Democrats at BlackRock and other financial monstrosities have greatly empowered the slack-jawed losers of the world who are lazy and unambitious and have put them in charge of labor, and the effects are horrendous.  I usually don’t interact with fast food restaurants these days, as my wife usually gets us food from those places, but I’m too busy to get it myself.  So only because I was at court all those days did I see how this particular McDonald’s operated compared to what I have experienced in the past few decades through my efforts.  They had terrible management there, and the employees had a presentation of self-importance from the staff feeling lucky to have employees.  If I were ordering anything more complicated than French Fries and a Coke, the wheels of that place would entirely fall apart.  What had changed was the fast food approach to work, not the demand, and that happened because of the introduction of poor workplace conduct with the COVID protocols.   Like most industries, the pin-headed lazy losers of the world had made inefficiency normalized through a rules-based society, and the impact was a much less “capitalist” world.  It’s precisely what is happening with Elon Musk and the FAA.  The same types of people sink production in every industry, from space flight to getting fries during grand jury testimony.  And it’s a problem that has to be fixed for good with the prosecution of those who brought us COVID-19 and told us to socially distance, wear a mask, and work from home.  Those policies intentionally destroyed our economic viability, and people still need to pay for them three years later.   Because the Hamilton McDonald’s in Butler County, Ohio, has never recovered.  And the slow food by a bunch of dope-smoking, slack-jawed losers who work there is a crime against humanity and a treasonous attack against the sovereignty of the United States.  And can’t be endured.

If You Like Your Money, You Better Vote For Trump: Trump Cash vs. Kamala Crash

The communist left in the world still thinks this way. And their economies are based on the same dumb ideas

Yeah, here’s the deal: If you like your money, your 401K investments, your real estate, your job, or anything connected to money, you better vote for Trump. It’s not a political thing; it’s a policy thing, which is what I have been telling everyone who has been asking leading up to the terrible jobs report in August, ahead of the global sell-off on Monday, 8.5.24.  There were a lot of reasons that the Asian markets opened poorly that morning, which started a chain reaction around the world.  Some of them are very sinister.  Some of them are just bombastically panic-driven and innocent.  There will always be a crash when free people have been manipulated the way that centralized banking has done to the public over the last century.  I mean, these are the same kind of losers who invented public education and can’t keep public toilets clean.  At least in the day of Morgan, Rockefeller, and the Rothschilds manipulating global currency, they were pretty good at it and driven not to fail by a sense of self-preservation that we all benefited from.  If the money supply were destroyed, they would lose all their money, and so would we.  So we were tied together in unhealthy ways, at least ways that gave us something to work with.  But here’s the problem: those who had the most money and wanted to hedge their risk invented this relationship with governments to insulate them from catastrophic failure, and the results have not been good.  This led to what I have been saying for several decades now: a financial climate in 2024 where the wheels are poised to come off in ominous ways.  Democrats are fully aware of this impending catastrophe because they have been hiding the terrible economic numbers every week of the Biden presidency, which were stolen in 2020 to preserve these global powers and prevent populist reforms.  And the writing was on the wall from 2016 to 2020 with Trump.  He showed just how phony the whole machine was during his term and currently is the only one with a plan to preserve the American dollar.  The global markets will still collapse, as we saw in Japan, just a hint of on Monday.  But America could preserve itself with a divorce from global markets, as much as is possible these days.  And to protect the American dollar from complete collapse, which is a planned exercise, especially if global communists can manage to slide Kamala Harris under the door.

Trump has a plan, and yes, the house of cards that global communism has built for the purposeful collapse of the American dollar can be averted by electing Trump.  But in so doing, a scab will be ripped off a wound that has been there for ages.  It’s a house of wet cards built in an earthquake zone that we are talking about, and also, as I have been saying, we are well into depression territory with the actual economic numbers under Biden.  It’s not much better worldwide, but this is part of a global strategy to push everyone into a digital currency that the central banks control.  It’s just as sinister as any military campaign that history has observed, for exactly all the same reasons.  And we are all attached to it through money management.  And if you have any hope of preserving your way of life, the investments you have built on all this phony pile of made-up cash, then you better vote for Trump.  Forget the ideological differences.  Forget about any other consideration.  To prevent a complete economic collapse, you had better vote for Trump.

The hints for this problem go back to the 2000s when the real estate crash in 2008 happened, after years of stagnant economic growth inspired by the terrorism of 9/11.  In reaction to that financial crisis, the American Fed printed up a bunch of fake money through quantitative easing and put in place a Modern Monetary Theory that they have been floating through big Wall Street firms like BlackRock, who have been buying up boards of most major companies with all that fake money, and turning them to communist woke practices.  Most Americans were too trusting to question this activity and didn’t care much as long as they had a car to drive to pick up their kids from soccer practice and grab a pizza on the way home to eat in their nicely air-conditioned homes.  If you get the chance to travel around the world, you will quickly find that most people don’t live like this and struggle mightily due to the mistakes their governments make with monetary policy.  What is truly terrible is that all these global markets are now attached through cooperative governments bound together through centralized banking with a communist view of the world as its primary outlook.  They have been making a lot of mistakes for many years. They have propped up with phony money organizations like the American Fed, printing money as they needed it and using it to buy fake value for an essentially phony economy.  And they were hiding it through their massive control of most media outlets.  And that House of Cards was poised to fail during the entire Biden presidency, which is why they put him in place through election fraud in the first place.

The hint of all this hitting the fan triggered the global sell-offs on Monday, early August 2024.  Some will say it’s fear of Kamala Harris winning the White House and prominent investors taking their money from the market before everyone else figures out how wrong everything has been and joins them with massive sell-offs.  I would propose that all this devious financial information is catching up to Democrats, and they can’t hide it from the public anymore.  The Fed has screwed up in its relationship with political activists like BlackRock and other Wall Street sharks looking to profit at the expense of the government providing the shield.  And when they get into trouble, they print more money and can do so as long as America controls the dollar.  But that control is now threatened, revealing horrendous economic mismanagement that goes back decades and is finally coming due.  Yeah, Trump is the only pick to stop what is planned to happen: the complete financial failure of the United States, which is currently over 35 trillion in debt and rising by 1 trillion dollars every 100 days.   This is a planned military attack by globalism against the sovereignty of the United States.  And literally, the only way out of it is Trump, which money-making policies could put America back into control of global markets, which is the only answer available here.  That’s also why they want to kill him, as we have witnessed recently, or put him in jail and destroy him in any way possible.  Globalists attached to central banking must control the American White House for their objectives.  Only now do people have a hint as to what they’ve been up to, which is revealed in the collapse of all financial involvement.  The cracks are now seen in some of these market crashes that are showing themselves presently.  However, much more is to come, and Trump is the only way out.  So if you like your life, even a little bit, and want to protect it from very hostile globalist forces, you better vote for Trump in the November election.  This week, we have seen the tip of a massive iceberg that is just out of sight but vast, deep, and very ominous.  More so than you can possibly imagine.

Just Because He Was Shot In The Head Doesn’t Mean He’s Going To Suddenly Become A Wimp: Trump and Divine Providence

I know a lot of people are worried about it, but I don’t think Trump’s going soft as a result of nearly being killed by an assassin’s bullet at his Pennsylvania rally in July of 2024. Instead, I understand that look of peace he has.  People on a mission often have a lack of worry once they realize they are covered with help over something critical, such as a life obligation.  Trump has been on a mission while he still has time on the clock in years to get back into the White House to save America from what we now know is a full-on communist invasion.  Democrats have called it other things, but there are a lot of hostile forces out there trying to destroy America, and Trump is one of those unique people who have built his life in a certain way to help it, and he’s been in a race to get through these years of government-imposed exile to perform the task.  And I do not doubt that in the back of his mind, all this time, he had been thinking of an overt assassination attempt, as he just experienced.  You go to all these significant public events and wonder who might ever try such a thing, so until it happens, you don’t know what you would do or react to it.  The killer was a kid, Thomas Matthew Crooks and there are all kinds of problems with him and the incident itself that deserve a lot of time and thought.  But from Trump’s point of view, a killer attempted and missed.  There were other innocent people killed and harmed, but it could have been a lot worse.  And as for Trump, he lived through it and could fight another day.  And that brings to mind a sense of peace on his face. 

I am speaking from experience when I say I noticed it, too, especially at the Republican National Convention leading up to his first speech since the assassination attempt.  I don’t think Trump had suddenly become soft and full of love. Instead, I think his personality just added a few new gears.  God was obviously on his side, and when you go through something like this, it relieves your mind to know that Divine Providence has your back.  Trump’s incident occurred on a big stage with the world watching, but I’ve had similar things happen, and it is quite a good feeling to know that when someone intends to kill you, you survive despite all their hard-laid plans.  If Trump had not turned his head ever so slightly at just the right moment, the killer would have had a headshot directly in the side that would have been devastating.  Some people afraid of everything that might happen next tend to get rattled in those moments in the aftermath, thinking of what might have been.  However, the look on Trump’s face is much different from that.  It’s the relief of knowing that God has your back even when the bad guys plan your menace.  Just because people intend to harm you doesn’t mean they will be successful.  And at this point, after all that Trump has been through, he now has very ostentatious confirmation that God is going to save him from unnecessary pain and suffering.  What pain he does have to go through is necessary for the task at hand.  But an inglorious end to his life’s pursuits, which many about to hit his 80s would naturally reflect on, is something that God will spare him from.  And that is a good feeling when you experience it. 

My comments on the behavior of Trump himself right after the shot were well told at the RNC convention during his speech.  It was quite an extraordinary experience that nobody in the world has ever witnessed. To have a president on the scale of Trump speaking to such a large crowd just a few days after a bullet nearly killed him live on national television was remarkable.  I kept thinking of when Reagan was shot.  I also thought a lot about the stories of when Teddy Roosevelt was shot during a speech but continued for another hour before seeking treatment.  Trump’s instincts at that moment when he was shot in the head, and there was blood everywhere, for him to stand up and pump his fist in the air the way he did, really not knowing what was going to happen next was extraordinary.  He knew he had been shot and that he might be dead within a few seconds.  But he wanted his shoes and to let the crowd know that he was defiant to the end.  And what we ended up with was the most iconic images the world has ever seen.  It was undoubtedly a gift given to him as a reward for the courage he had displayed through the most challenging times in his life with all that Democrats had thrown at him to keep him from ever speaking at another Republican National Convention.  It had the feeling of a “what if” scenario where Kennedy’s assassination seemed almost to be reversed.  The psychological trauma that the world experienced with that CIA-led endeavor seemed to be undone with this attempt against Trump.  A dark period of communism in America and around the globe was being dismantled through a miracle witnessed by the world, all at the same time, for the first time in all history.  And Trump’s reaction to it, with a bloody face and all, was to pump defiance to the sky and yell, “Fight!”

There are many good things to come, but for him, and he seems to know this, the greatest thing that ever happened to him just happened to him.  He survived in the face of great terror, and his natural reaction was to lead people through the horrible occurrence.  And that is a monkey off his back that few people will ever understand.  And when you show such great courage under pressure and live, it is the best feeling in the world.  It is confirmation that there is a God and that you have a partner in Heaven who does step in when it counts most.  Especially when you get up in age and wonder if there is a God and what happens after life is done, what’s the point?  The Divine Providence that Trump experienced on international television did the opposite of what was intended.  It was a great climax to a long, torturous process that showed the world a miracle they all needed to see.  And Trump dared to be the vehicle for its display.  Sure, some assassins will try again.  But like most things, once you survive such an occasion, you can trust that God has your back for all others, which puts your mind at ease, which is what I see on Trump’s face.  He is a bigger person than he was before.  And that comes from a person who had pushed himself to be as big as he could get without the powers of Heaven spilling over into reality in such magnificent ways.  Surviving that day confirmed that God loves what he is doing and wants America to survive into the future.  That Divine Providence is genuine, not just some hope from the hopeless masses who are cleaving to a higher power because they were too lazy to fight for what’s right otherwise.  Here was a miracle, as the Bible often tells.  And we saw it all together live through a character we have come to know well, who carried the world on his back for the salvation of the human race, wherever they reside.

All Unionized Labor Should Be Illegal if Tax Money is Involved: They want to be highly paid without the results to justify it

There is, of course, more to the story.  I certainly heard the exasperation in the Louder with Crowder team as they investigated the horrendous story of the massive mishandling of a Butler Tech intern at the Butler County jail, which led to sex and the corruption of a minor in really disastrous ways.  As the story unfolded and all the adults involved pointed at each other for the blame, I saw on people’s faces and could hear in their words that they were exasperated by the lack of responsibility provided by the adults.  And here’s the thing: just a few days before this story broke, I had a chance to talk to Sheriff Jones quite a bit, and I am sure he and I agree on much more than we disagree with.  If we watched a bunch of old westerns on a Saturday afternoon, we would likely like the same things about them and share a sense of justice that would be enjoyable.  As people, as it is with most people, we agree on most things.  If we had a Thanksgiving dinner together, along with a bunch of other random people, I know there would be a lot more in common than not.  Differences occur when individual people try to bend themselves toward group-oriented consensus, where they toss their values out the window in trade for the power of group rule.  And that is what is going on with this Butler County case and why all the adults are complicit.  And why is the little girl being prosecuted while all the adults slither into the background to hide behind their labor unions and collective bargaining agreements?  This is why they are in labor unions so that the power of the group can leverage responsibility away from them in case something goes wrong, which it certainly did in this case. 

Probably the most guilty person in all this is the Butler Tech teacher, Aaron Fitzgerald, who ran the criminal justice program and was responsible for putting that 17-year-old girl unsupervised into a jail with a bunch of criminals and murderers, so often that she established sexual relationships with them.  Even more, some of the inmates were claiming her as a wife and were trying to “lock her down,” so we aren’t talking about a casual mistake that happened once or twice.  It happened repeatedly, systemically, and it was how Aaron Fitzgerald ran his program and the dangers he put the kids in with his permissive attitude. I would further blame the board at Butler Tech for their permissive, progressive attitudes about sex and their behavior in public, such as Julie Shaffer from the Lakota school board has shown to all the adults in charge, and the breadcrumbs of the blame certainly fall at their doorstep.  The Louder with Crowder crew went to Aaron’s house to talk to him about this case, and he freaked out.  But what was revealed was that he had a nice home in a very nice neighborhood.  That in itself isn’t uncommon in Butler County, Ohio.  But his sense of entitlement is something we had just witnessed on the whole Lakota schools superintendent issue, where reckless sexual lifestyles destroyed that guy once the public learned just how bad they were.  These are unionized employees with a sense of entitlement that is common in most labor union activity, where they want to be paid top dollar for some of the worst results that come from any labor activity.  They want all the money without any responsibility.  And when they get into trouble, as they certainly have in Butler County, Ohio, they circle the wagons and blame everyone who isn’t in the union.  In this case, the only person without a labor union relationship is the little girl. 

Over the years, I have argued this point extensively, and the impact of the disaster hasn’t changed.  I think it should be illegal for any labor union to be connected in any way to a taxpayer dollar.  We went down that path in 2012 when we thought we had a good governor in Kasich before everyone got a hold of him and destroyed him into just another progressive.  Sheriff Jones and I were on opposite ends of that issue, and they managed to hang on to their government unions for a while longer.  These days, President Trump has the labor union vote, so everyone is in a big Republican tent these days on the issue.  But it doesn’t change what labor unions are.  And what you get with them is too expensive, and the performance is terrible.  In this Butler Tech case, the measure of success is whether they have kids to put in the program.  Not what they learn or what happens to them along the way.  Unionized labor attached to government has been a disaster, and what you get from them is a horrendous performance with a perpetual sense of entitlement, like they are owed their jobs.  And they don’t feel they have to compete with anybody else to have them.  Then, when something goes wrong, they collectively circle the wagons and protect each other from the results.  Their goals are not in performance but in concealment and protection from expectations in results. 

Sheriff Jones, the same guy who talks to me about law and order and not putting up with terrorists coming into our community, took the union position on this Butler County jail case, saying that their prosecution of the girl was based on her admission.  And that all the kids sign a waiver (I don’t think sodomizing kids was on the sheet) and that she was almost 18, so that’s close enough.  She could be hired into the jail in a few months anyway.   And he said these things to reporters, thinking they were perfectly acceptable statements in a sane world.  And I know he doesn’t believe any of those things, yet he was saying them, as all brotherhood members do when one of them gets into trouble.  That’s why those kinds of people seek union membership.  And labor unions aren’t just a disaster in government occupations.  In the private sector, if you call up a supplier looking for your thing, and the person you are talking to can see it on a shipping dock through a window, waiting for someone to put it on a skid to be loaded onto a truck.  But they can’t load it themselves because they need a union guy to do it, so they have to wait for him to come off his 4-hour break, watching Loony Toons on his cell phone to load the truck.  That is how it is with all unionized labor and why they aren’t competitive in the world marketplace.  They cost too much, do too little, and when you need to know who’s responsible, they never admit to anything.  When they get into trouble, they rally behind their brother and sisterhoods to protect each other from judgment.  And that is why everyone involved gets away with horrendous behavior.  The only people who pay are those who are not in the union.  The union members, or those who directly benefit from the unionized labor, get away with everything because it’s part of their collective bargaining strategy.  If you try to pin them down on something then they take the labor away completely, making enforcement of policy nearly impossible.  So everyone just avoids punishment and discipline from bad decisions.  And it’s so disgraceful that it takes logic and good people and turns them into grotesque monsters who perpetuate evil to get easy and unearned paychecks, as is the case with Aaron Fitzgerald and many others.

The Greatest Thing To Happen in the World: SpaceX and their successful Flight 4

Unfortunately, this is not an article about how great SpaceX is and how what they did with Starship Fight Four was one of the most significant events ever to take place within the context of the human race.  Yes, it was remarkable that within a few months of the previous flight, where the engineering feats were magnificently complicated, the company managed to figure out well the re-entry burn of the largest artificial object to ever fly through the air, out into space, and return as a reusable vehicle.  Starship 4 pulled off a reusable Super Heavy rocket that landed back at Earth after delivering its payload of a Starship spacecraft to sub-orbital trajectory.  It returned to Earth and hovered above the sea as if it were going to do a soft landing and could have easily been captured by the chopsticks at Starbase.  SpaceX would have been successful if that’s all it accomplished.  They essentially proved that the Super Heavy rocket could be as reliable and reusable as the Falcon rockets that are carrying most of the world’s payload to space these days.  And that by itself was astonishing.  But continuing on its journey to the Indian Ocean was the Starship that maintained stable flight throughout its mission trajectory, and it did a re-entry that was very punishing, where a fin melted away due to the incredible heat from the process.  But the Starship showed that it would be just as tough and resilient as was hoped, and it performed a fully functional landing, even damaged by sky diving back to earth and flipping vertically to hover above the ocean before then spinning back to its belly for a soft landing in the sea. Indeed, remarkable engineering and technical innovation were on full display, and they were a fantastic feat for the entire human race.  SpaceX had validated its hope in making Starship a reliable bus that could bring humanity into space in genuinely magnificent ways over the coming years. 

But there is more lurking behind the surface of this incredible display of ingenuity.  SpaceX pulled itself above typical manufacturing standards in dramatic ways that shocked the world very quietly.  And since I can afford to say it because many people can’t, I’ll address the elephant in the room.  SpaceX, an American company, is the only company in the world that could have done what was done by Starship 4.  No other country, not China, not Russia, not any country in Europe, South America, not even Japan, could have done what SpaceX had done with building and solving all the rates of resolutions that were required to pull off a successful Starship 4 launch.  All the other countries would have micromanaged any aerospace company out of existence long before any successful launch occurred, leaving what happened in Boca Chica, Texas, a unique feat specific to our times and tied to the efforts of Elon Musk.  No group of intelligent people working with government anywhere in the world under any other conditions could have done what SpaceX had done because only in America are freedoms provided so that risk-takers can take such plunges and dare to do the impossible.  If NASA, which I like a lot, had tried to build a Starship, it would have taken them, under government pacing of work, five years to make another Starship after the failures of Flight 3 in March.  I happened to be in Japan watching that launch with friends, and it was clear then that not even Japan could have pulled off what SpaceX was doing.  They may have been smart enough to do it.  But they weren’t free enough to enable their risk-takers to unleash so much power of the human intellect. 

And that is what we are fighting for, that kind of freedom in America that is clearly under siege by global communists who want desperately to subdue America into a worldwide citizen movement that is just as crappy as every other place on earth.  Notice that Elon Musk did not start SpaceX in South Africa, where he is from.  He didn’t build it in China, where he partnered to get electric car batteries for the Tesla Company.  The truth is that America is worth fighting for because it takes the elements of American freedom to produce companies that can do what SpaceX has proven it can do.  And it’s a trend emerging in manufacturing to the terror of many globalists who have planned an entirely different kind of world.  The manufacturing trends of the future are not in the massive bureaucracies of an administrative state, where pinheads and keyboard pushers sit in cubicles or work from home between COVID tests and World Health Organization mandates for social distancing.  Where corporate boards would buy up every last privately held company only to transfer the ownership to money managers like BlackRock to flow through human resource departments mundane work requirements created by a communist Department of Labor that has no idea or respect for how work is done in the world, they only care to build and sustain an administrative state of small-minded do-nothings who measure work with false assumptions and ridiculously inefficient utterances of processes that feed communism into every corner of every community on planet Earth.  Only stubborn companies that visionary risk-takers, like SpaceX, still lead have a shot of doing anything.  And due to their success, many companies are rethinking the whole globalism mess.

We must solve this problem now, so I expect it to be contentious.  The success of Starship 4 was such big news that it should have been on every channel, talked about on every radio station, and flashed in every newspaper’s headlines.  But what we saw was barely mentioned by a jealous world watching its vast attempts at globalism and a global citizen movement vanish like mist on a hot day in the desert.  SpaceX was proving that the administrative state built into just about everything money touched was wrong.  And the world was turning away from the communist plans that were so maliciously planned for all of us by people not qualified even to buy toothpaste.  When the Starship landed successfully in the Indian Ocean, more than humanity becoming a spacefaring society occurred.  The way we measure work in our human cultures changed forever.  There are pockets of companies that still operate in such a fashion where the risk-takers are aligned with the smart people who sit down and solve problems under impossible circumstances out of the necessity for adventure and innovation.  But there aren’t many.  And SpaceX is undoubtedly one of them.  With this great success, more companies will do much the same, turning away from globalist administrative state approaches to work and more fully embracing the rag-tag American innovation approach of risk-taking and tenacity that has made America the most dominant economic engine in the world and now space.  It was more than just a technical feat to get such a monster into space and back again.  It was an escape velocity from the real treacheries that hold back humanity, the human tendency to follow tyrants to their deaths and limit themselves to sustain a polite society from subservient redundancy.  It is on the shores of aviation and aerospace in general where advantage and excitement meet economic opportunity for a time to come that the human race has only dreamed about.  Yet it is right before our faces to reach out and touch for the first time.

The Lords of Phony Money: A Dow Jones at over 40,000 is due to inflation, not actual wealth

It’s by logic more than choice that we have to look toward mobster activity as the playbook for modern tyranny.   It’s not just governments that get away from us that is the concern, which has happened.  However, the genuine concern is the behavior of organized crime and their ability to get away with making easy money at the expense of social peace.  People who are lazy but want to maximize their income through force seek collective associations, whether in unionized labor, elected office, or outright theft.  And this is a problem in any society, especially communism, where the government behaves like any organized crime family.  Only there isn’t a free society to dispute the actions.  In a free society, we can at least talk about it, which is what we do in the United States.  But organized crime goes back to when primitives conspired to bring down a woolly mammoth during a big game hunt for food.  When people realized they could work together to make labor more accessible, they naturally would head in that direction, no matter the endeavor.  Criminal thugs developed during Western expansion to rob trains and banks.  When the government became extensive and organized and started making rules people didn’t want, organized crime formed to meet the public demand at the expense of proper government, as a rival crime family, and the mobsters as we traditionally think of them were born.  But then, progressive society wanted a one-stop shop that would muscle out the crime families as Lords of Easy Money.  Of course, they had good intentions, but who could resist the temptation of money manipulation to satisfy the whims of the wicked and lazy?  And in that case, with an extensive criminal syndicate operating without the scrutiny of a free society, the illusions of power have become quite ostentatious.  And we see the level of corruption that is our present problem. 

Specifically, we’re talking about the money supply, and this is something that too many people, like pornography, enjoy the benefits of to criticize it properly.  However, this current scam of the Dow Jones closing at 40,000 is not good.  It’s a long series of mistakes and lousy policies catching up with us and being sold as a benefit when, in reality, it’s a massive crime no different than a classic bank robbery.  The government is playing the role of Jesse James and the gang of bank robbing barrons.  We shouldn’t expect the government to be anything less than an organized crime syndicate of collective-based losers seeking the easiest path to money and security through force as possible.  It’s human nature.  But here’s the gig on the Dow Jones, the 40,000 number that is preparing to break all records since the Dow opened first in 1885.  It’s an inflationary number propped up by an out-of-control money supply where too much money is chasing too few goods.  So it’s a record indicating a big problem, not an excellent report for everyone concerned about their 401Ks.  It’s like those classic bank robbers who break in and steal all the real money in gold and other assets, then leave behind a bunch of phony funds for the bank to give out to the public to keep them off the trail of the actual theft, and it’s a grave matter.  When Biden tries to claim credit for such a massive theft, done because of organized crime that moved from the local syndicates into the halls of government to commit just these kinds of crimes, he thinks he is throwing us off the trail of the truth. 

The Federal Reserve wasn’t a bad idea when it was first proposed in 1913, but under the best of conditions, it would require diligent management, and that just has not been the case.  The government learned it could print phony money with quantitative easing and apply that to a progressive Modern Monetary Theory, which is essentially the same as the transgender movement of claiming a man and a woman can be whatever sex they want any time they want to.  Modern Monetary Theory believes in debt maintenance by over-saturating the money supply by a government that doesn’t have to live by any rules but can make them up as they go.  This led to this crisis in 2008 with the too-big to fail in Housing that, failed.  So the Fed under Obama pumped a lot of fake money into the system and washed it like the crime families from the mob always did, through legitimate businesses, and pumped all that mess into the local economy.  In this case, the Fed printed a lot of money and dropped it into Wall Street to clean up, which was the role that Larry Fink, the political activist turned money manager for BlackRock, played.  And poof, just like that, a lot of money flowed into our economy, made up essentially on the back of a napkin and distributed as truthful.  But that game only works so long, as inflation is the direct result.  When President Trump took office in January 2017, the Dow was at 19,000 and had been going up since 2015, when it started to become evident that he might become president after years of stalled economic growth by the socialist actions of Obama’s administration.  The prospect of Trump did inspire a legitimate money movement in a positive direction.  But the number of 19,000 itself was phony as a carnival game on a hot July state fair. 

This is how BlackRock, Blackstone, Vanguard, and the rest of these popular money managers have gained so much power that they are buying up many companies with that phony money.  It’s a communist plan to make all property state-run, and this is one way that the organized crime elements of government-run enterprises can inflict a political philosophy into the money supply.  And don’t forget, Janet Yellen is Biden’s advisor on these things, and she is undoubtedly a communist sympathizer from the radical left.  She ran the Federal Reserve for a while and is a member of the World Economic Forum, behind the Covid release and centralized planning for a great reset.  This is all inconvenient to know, just as the porn hustling mobsters used to do behind the 22-year-old topless stripper in a peep show plaza.  People don’t want to think about why she is there and are putting twenty dollar bills in her G-string.  They want to enjoy the sights and sounds of sexual temptation.  Just as they want to believe that their 401K plans are making them a lot of money, but it’s all phony money, run by the Lords of Phony Money, the Fed, and its ties to globalism through international banking.  They have stolen real wealth and left us with fake bank notes and a fake economy propped up by a government that has fallen to the temptations of organized crime.  And to hide their efforts, they hope that full 401K accounts will keep the anger of pitchforks from coming after them until after this next election.  So before you get too excited about any economic news coming from government reporting, you must understand that the game is a crime and they are trying to get away with it.  Not profitability from the stock market participants.  The Lords of Easy Money have been hard at work robbing our wealth from our monetary system. They are not making it better.  And eventually, it’s all going to catch up to them.  Which, to my eyes, has already happened.
