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.

The Lies of the Biden Economy: Claiming Covid jobs as economic credit for a Marxist government

Calling someone a liar and a typical political thief is one thing.  But in the case of Joe Biden and his Marxist handlers, to have proof of it is something else.   The economic numbers for Biden are not good and, in many ways, getting worse because not even the communist media will carry water for him as they have.  When they try to tell us that he was legitimately elected, remember what I did as the very first thing.  My wife and I packed up in our RV and went out into the desert to think and get some perspective, which I needed.  I remembered some of this as recently, my wife and I traveled to Cleveland for a fast-draw competitive event and lived out of our RV for an extended period.  We were watching Trump’s speech in New Jersey, where he indicated that he would make a play to win some of those heavy Democrat areas.  It was raining outside, and we had an exceptionally cozy evening together.  We were talking about Trump returning to office and thinking of the first few months of the horrendous Biden presidency, where the shoe was on the other foot.  Since we were so political, we were among the hundred ones, which had been made clear to me.  So we went to the desert of New Mexico to consider what to do next.  I made some adjustments to my life as a result, and then there we were, watching Trump from that same RV a few years later with the rain pouring down outside after a day of shooting and lots of gunsmoke, and the truth was all coming out on Biden.  We knew Biden didn’t win the election with 81 million votes because we had traveled extensively, and they were nowhere to be found.  The Biden people had lied about their election and their presidency, and we were the first to see it.   Now, it was obvious to everyone. 

That same process occurred with Biden’s economic numbers.  We all know we had a much better economy with Trump until the Covid virus was created in a Wuhan lab and released to the world by not only the Chinese but the global communists at the World Economic Forum who wanted to distribute the China model of communism to the world with a Great Reset had wanted to stop that excellent Trump economy hurting him during an election year.  According to Department of Defense reports now, COVID was a bioweapon, and they released it during that year, as they had been planning to destroy Trump’s economy and make their power move for global domination.  Things didn’t work out as they had imagined, and world domination wasn’t happening. All those lunatic billionaires retreated to their hiding places in Davos, and the world tried to somewhat return to normal, hoping everyone would forget about it, even though millions of people had died along the way.  We are all still coming to grips with that tragedy and our government’s role in the scamdemic.  The contents of that contemplation are still considered a massive conspiracy theory, even though the proof is all around us and was all along.   Those same forces wanted a puppet president and found one in Biden. They put him in place with massive election fraud done behind the veil of COVID-19, which allowed them to do so.  This is an element they would not have in 2024, as people are just waking up to deal with all this terrible news, most evident by the Biden economy, which was harming people at every level of society.

Oh, I know, these are hard to think about for people who want to take their kids to soccer practice and buy their next steak dinner off Amazon.  I had a front-row seat, and I think about these things in ways others don’t, so it doesn’t matter when people realize that they have been scammed by a massive government conspiracy centered around the United Nations trying to push Chinese communism to every corner of the world through corporate influence and international finance.  But the truth is easy in this case: the Biden administration has been lying about their economic recovery, saying they had created more jobs than any president in the history of the world, and even skeptical people have been scratching their heads, wondering where they were.  Well, they were the jobs destroyed during Covid, when these same con people convinced President Trump to turn off the economy to save lives, which he did—resulting in the biggest con job the world had ever seen.  And once Trump was out of office, and all the political rivals of Biden had been hunted down, prosecuted, or thrown in jail, the Biden people had to finally give up on Covid as a cover story because the world was coming apart in anger over the issue.  If the Biden people could have, Covid lockdowns would still be happening, with the “new normal,” as they used to say.  But people realized there was a thing called the Constitution, and the lockdowns were illegal.  And the governors across the country were losing their cases and had to reopen the economy. 

Along the way of that reopening, the jobs that the COVID lockdowns had destroyed became open again, and those are the massive job creations that Biden is now claiming his administration has created.  They are saying all this with a straight face and expect the public to accept it without question.  That’s how stupid they think we all are.  And how malicious they are and how much they have lied to everyone.  Even with all the scrutiny, they believe they will get away with lying about their job numbers without the context of a pre-Covid lockdown reality that returned to normal in the years following during the Biden administration.  The Biden economy has been a disaster, as any socialist economy would be, and that has been their policy, and the measures have been obvious.  Their lies about the job reports are much worse because people know better.  But think that if they will lie about these job numbers, what else they have been lying about that is that much harder to prove?  The only thing preventing people from seeing the truth is that they won’t believe it because they can’t imagine that people are that evil and malicious.  Yet, they are, the Biden people.  They are cruel and malicious.  And slowly, people are realizing it.  That’s why people were camped out in New Jersey to see Trump give the same speech over and over, and even Fox News carried the whole thing from beginning to end.  There were over 100,000 people at that Trump event, and it did terrify the political left and the uniparty.  Even with all the crazy court trials, nothing was stopping Trump, and the writing was on the wall.  People knew they had been lied to about Trump and many other things.  And they wanted a change; they wanted their good economy back.  And they were done with Biden and his con artist lies.  They have started to admit to this, which was the first step in solving the problem for good.

The Horrible Biden Economy: A purposeful attack on our personal lives by global terrorists

There is an anti-ownership movement going on globally that is working in the background of the communist Biden economy, which is reflected in the grotesque financial numbers coming on the heels of 1st quarter reporting.  When you understand what kind of lies the reporting machine puts out to deceive the public on the economic health of the American economy, then you’ll understand why only reporting 1.6% growth when the prediction was over 2% was so devastating for the Biden people.  Just as most people never saw a bullet or a battlefield during most of the wars in the world, this modern battle, which is much different, is impacting them the same.  People might not have fought in a modern war, but they would see the cost of goods increase as supply chains are disrupted by fights around the world where people are at war.  But this fight is connected to virtually every person in the world, at every bank, and the movement of a dollar.  The intent is to eradicate private ownership of everything and turn it all over to collective associations, just as Karl Marx always proposed.  In America mom and pop shops are being replaced with corporate boards, and private ownership of homes is being consumed by companies like BlackRock off fake Fed money funneled through Wall Street to clean it up for public consumption, with the intent to make renters out of owners, and to gradually steer them all back into city life, where they can be controlled more efficiently with a centralized government.  Meanwhile, in line with Agenda 21 initiatives and 2030 goals from the United Nations, communities are building lots of apartments to shift ownership from private homes to apartment life.  From buying a car to using shared vehicle services.  There is a subtle communist plan behind most of what our money touches that is a real menace, and people have been slow to understand it.  But when the lying machine can’t produce anything better than that silly 1.6% GDP growth, you are starting to see the rabbit under the table for the global magic trick, and people aren’t happy about it. 

A few years ago, while traveling across the countryside of Canterbury, England, I noticed how much open green space they had and how so many people lived along the train routes from that city to London, about an hour to the west.  Most residential property in England was focused around traditional towns and communities.  And the price of private flats and homes was extremely high.  As I asked about this, it became clear that England and France were well on their way, decades ahead of the United States in fulfilling the globalist plans of the United Nations and frustrating private ownership of homes and cars by raising the prices of everything to push everyone but the most wealthy away from ownership.  If you understand the intentions of the Masons Karl Marx and his best bud Friedrich Engels in Das Kapital, for instance, the real estate across the English countryside makes sense for a socialist, communist government.  However, private people would rebel if told to accept a communist government.  To take it, they would have to be manipulated over a long period where death and inheritance would insulate people from seeing the overall global strategy embedded in every centralized bank.  The kids would never see what the parents lost because they were too busy with their own lives to notice, and gradually, over time, everyone would lose everything in the managed chaos created by these globalist forces. 

Yesterday, some of my children were shopping for a new car and were frustrated that most of them were not good enough. These days, the decent cars were all over 100K dollars.  By the time you compensate for the cost of compliance and the regulatory environment to build a decent car, the cost structure is too high for most people to afford, so they can’t.  The car market in America is struggling, especially with the push for EV cars, which will cost car companies enormous amounts of money.  Of course, the Federal government will bail out these big companies just as it did in 2008.  However, in the process, those companies will have to turn over some of their control to the government and lose their independence to manage their affairs.  Do you see how the game is going?  It’s not so subtle now, but over the years, it has been, and the increased costs are purposeful to steer people away from private ownership of cars, homes, and businesses and to frustrate them into selling off their assets and moving into an apartment controlled by a centralized authority.  That plan was well underway in America until people picked Trump in 2016. Trump turned off all these artificial controls and gave some power back to private people, and of course, the economy thrived.  This was devastating to the globalist’s plans for communism everywhere, so it was not a surprise that they lost their minds and created Covid as a cover for their World Economic Forum Great Reset, and had to steal the election of 2020 to get control of their Agenda 21 plans, which were eroding from them with a populist movement popping up around the world, not just in the United States.

And Biden put in place all the economic controls that had been planned, many of them by executive order, and as I have been saying for several years now, we are technically in a Great Depression, and people feel it.  However, like in the 1930s in America, it was not caused by natural occurrences but by massive government tampering.  The Great Depression was made by the government to push communism into America with FDRs New Deal politics.  Then to cap it all off, World War II created the United Nations and we have what we see today.  Massive government tampering caused it all, just as they are causing it now, for all the same reasons.  Except now, they have a media culture that will help them better sell failure to the public.  So, they deliberately hid the Biden economy from the public even if everyone could see the results in extremely high prices.  Since Biden took office just a few years ago, overall prices for everything are up 19.4%, food prices are up 21.1%, rent is up 20.9%, and electricity is up 28.3%.  Gasoline is up a whopping 47.8%.  These are not natural occurrences, but purposeful military strategies meant to destroy the American economy through rigged elections, criminal syndicates running our elected offices, and global scum bags entrenched in centralized finance.  And even with all their propping up the economy with phony Fed money, all they could legitimately show for economic growth was 1.6% when they needed to show much, much more to attempt to keep Biden in office.  If they could have shown a better report, they would have.  But the truth is that the economy is much worse than that, which tells you everything you need to know.  Communist terrorists are running our financial systems in detrimental ways for the destruction of our way of life.  And they are terrified of another Trump term where all these controls will be cut off, and justifiably so.  The United Nations is going to lose the power it has spent most of the last seven decades building.  Which is the fight of our day and what is on the table for the future.  But the high prices are not natural; they were created for political reasons, and the economy, as bad as it is, was managed to be that way by our domestic enemies, with which everyone will have to come to terms.

Kimonos in Japan: If America wants to be Great Again, perhaps we should dress for that greatness

You might have heard about Jimmy Kimmel’s recent trip to Japan, a topic of its own.  But he is right about several things: Japan is clean, and crime is low.  He didn’t understand why, which I’ll break down in a separate article.  However, one thing that is quite clear that I admire about the Japanese people quite a lot is their embrace of their traditional culture and their kimono dress.  I, too, was recently in Japan. I’ve been there a few times during this year, so I am very familiar with some of the unique customs that they have there.  However, during this most recent trip, I saw quite a lot of Kyoto on a Thursday afternoon and for an extended period, and I was surprised by how they dressed.  Most of the people I encountered there were walking around the streets, the temples, and the bamboo forest in full kimonos, both men and women.  And there were rental shops everywhere that kimonos could be rented to wear around town.  It wasn’t a samurai cosplay convention, which was what I thought was going on.  This was how people dressed all the time, and it was very refreshing to see.  It reminded me of something I have been saying all the time, that in America, we need to embrace more of our traditions.  While in Japan, I fully expressed American culture, which they appreciated.  In America, I tend to wear a poncho to my gun competitions and other Second Amendment activities, the kind of Western wear that is very traditional to Western expansion and hard, cold nights on the open ranges next to campfires.   I have several of them, and when I wear them, I always get a lot of strange looks.  But I don’t think they should be considered strange at all.  And when I dressed that way to go out to the store in the middle of the night outside my hotel in Kobe, nobody in Japan thought it was strange at all. 

I had a few ponchos in Japan which I like to put on instead of a jacket, especially in inclement weather.  It’s like having a wrap-around blanket without worrying about it falling off your shoulders, so it frees up your arms underneath.  It’s suitable for short-term warmth without messing around with a cumbersome jacket.  And I like that a poncho hides a lot of what you might not want people to see, such as the many knives and guns that I carry all the time.  With concealed carry across multiple states, it is better to hide the big stuff with very baggy clothing instead of trying to contain the weapons in modern-day America’s conventional dress.  In Japan, their reverence for history, especially in their samurai culture, is unmistakable, and they openly embrace it, which I thought was very classy.  It was nice to see the women dressing up in these classic robes to go shopping and be seen around town.  And the men dressed similarly to accompany them.  Instead of being repealed by the display of my own dress, a few times on this latest trip, as I wore my poncho down to the local store to pick up supplies, people wanted to take a picture next to me in my boots, poncho, and Stetson cowboy hat to show they had met a “real American.”  And they were pleased about it.  As they snapped their pictures with me, I couldn’t help but think of one of my favorite quotes from the Dune books: “How else do humans invent the traps that betray us into mediocrity?” 

Mediocrity is what we have adopted in our modern Western cultures, with our associations with communism introduced through our education system.  They have rejected this mediocrity primarily in Japan due to their reverence for traditional values.  But in America, these days, we have associated fashion with an alliance with sportswear.  Nike, Adidas, and other brands seen from college sports programs have largely inspired our public presentation of ourselves.  These days, the idea of proper dress on casual Fridays is a golf shirt that shows we are interested in sports programs.  That is something that they don’t do as much in Japan.  They love sports, especially baseball, but they don’t go out of their way to show reverence for it out of disrespecting their traditional cultures.  But in America, we want to look like the coaches and players of our sports teams, which behind them have all kinds of corporate communism attached to them.  So, our American dress has shifted from individual expressions of a rugged outdoorsman to billboards for corporate influence over our sporting markets.  And the not-so-subtle message there is to accept that individuals are less important than the team’s greater good.  And, of course, behind that is that communism defines the greater good.  So, wearing a cowboy hat in America is quite a statement.  More people are doing it now than they used to, mainly because of the popular Yellowstone television show and the failed politics of the communist left.  People want to make America great again, and like the Japanese, they are turning to traditional dress to convey that trait.  But in America, our dress directly influences our society’s condition. 

I have always worn a cowboy hat.  But over the years, I have been less inclined toward sporting goods fashion trends in favor of my traditional gunslinger apparel.  I’ve been that way for many years.  I remember many late-night encounters in my twenties where I would wear my ponchos everywhere, including the Kenwood Mall in Cincinnati.  It’s one thing to do when you are in your 50s, as I am now.  But when you are in your 20s, many people look at you weird because you are so out of step with mainstream culture.  But it’s always been a visual hedge against mediocrity, which is how I view modern dress codes, and I largely reject the premise.  A culture should strive to stand out from the crowd in everything, individually.  Not to retreat into submission to the mob.  In Japan, particularly Kyoto and even Tokyo, even though the kimonos are uniformly similar in their loose-fitting robes, they are colorful and full of individualized expression.  I thought that seeing that expression was wonderful and was a major contributor to the quality of their society.  I had a chance to eat at a very nice restaurant in Kyoto with some friends.  It was a classic place; most people wore kimonos, and you had to take off your shoes while eating.  It had a spectacular garden to walk in while you waited for your food, and they provided you with slippers to do so.  I stepped into that place, mostly having to duck because the ceiling was low, and the whole place was primarily made of paper and wood.  They gave me a very large locker for my big cowboy boots, which is what they do when you enter to put your shoes in while you eat, but I still wore my cowboy hat.  And they took notice of it.  But it wasn’t in a “you’re not like us” way.  But rather, a respect for the culture that I came from.  And they were proud of their culture.  And what we all shared was a disrespect for sameness as defined by communism and an embrace of versatility as defined by capitalist markets.  They brought us mostly raw fish and vegetables, certainly not chicken nuggets as I might otherwise be used to in the States.  But it was a good look into a culture that embraced their uniqueness and certainly wasn’t shying away from their projection to the rest of the world.  And if America wants to be Great Again.  Perhaps we should start dressing for that greatness instead of playing everything down to some corporate version of casual and accepting sameness as a value rather than uniqueness.

I Love Private Planes: Public transportation is garbage, more people should have access to more personalized transportation

There are few things better in the world than getting where you want to go to see people you need to see and not wasting a lot of time doing it so that you can do more of other kinds of things.  So you will never hear any complaints about corporate jets and other luxury modes of transportation from me.  I think it’s OK if extreme liberals like Taylor Swift and the mega communist John Kerry or the global terrorist Bill Gates use private jets to fly around the world attending meetings.  I think it’s great that President Trump has his own 757 to fly around in.  This goofy talk about fossil fuels destroying planet Earth is a scam.  We understand how to terraform entire planets; we can undoubtedly maintain CO2 levels on Earth to sustain clean air artificially.  The entire climate change debate is a hoax designed to change political sentiment from capitalism to communism and is ridiculous.  So you will never hear me complain about private jets or corporate planes.  As a matter of fact, I am looking at the new Piper M700 Fury for many personal reasons.  Anytime I can make my life more efficient, it is a good idea to do so.  And time management is the key to that process.  The new Piper plane is a very good way to get groups of people around the United States quickly.  It costs around $5 million and around $1,200 per hour to operate, but when you have to travel a lot, it is cheaper and more reliable than commercial air travel, which takes too long to fly domestically these days because of all the big government TSA cumbersome security.  When it comes to private planes, you show up to the airport and fly off on time.  Commercial air travel is just a big fancy bus, whereas private planes are like cars, and in our American capitalist economy, we all need more planes to do things faster and more efficiently. 

A great innovation for personal transportation

This isn’t a new thing for me, for years, long before I started this blog site, I worked hard to bring Paul Moller’s M400 Sky Car into some kind of public recognition.  The trouble with that was, during the 90s, the engine development wasn’t there to provide the kind of controlled flight needed for a skycar to float like a hummingbird, the way drone technology today allows.  But in the ’90s, I was working out the details and trying to connect them to private delivery travel, with companies like FedEx and UPS to have point-to-point delivery.  We should have already had a kind of Jetson’s future where everyone had sky cars flying out of their driveways and landing at wherever they worked.  The only reason we don’t is that social governments have slowed down the rate of innovation.  And, of course, their whole plot for the world was revealed during COVID-19, the “work from home” culture.  Communists and central planners have been using climate change as an excuse to reduce the freedom of personal transportation and force people onto public options, such as trains and Uber vehicles.  The Administrative State represents tyrannical centralized governments, and their Deep State partners want less freedom for people and for them to exist in a kind of aristocratic bubble, which is where the whole present mentality has emerged in the private jet culture.  They want to fly them because they are busy saving the world from the masses of people they’d love to kill off to save the planet.  So when people fall into the trap of making the reverse argument, such as Taylor Swift, Bill Gates, and John Kerry are hypocrites for flying private jets, then the trap is set for the argument to support that climate change is real, which it isn’t.  So by criticizing celebrities for flying private planes, the argument for climate change is sustained in public debate, when in actuality, the reverse is true.

One of the most advanced concepts revealed in the Bible, as we know it, is the concept of having dominion over the earth.  Before the Bible and the creation of Western Civilization, humanity was in servitude to nature, which is precisely where progressives want to regress politically in our current time.  By having dominion over nature, capitalism formed to fuel the imagination of the people of Earth to innovate.  And that rate of innovation is essential to the universe’s natural state.  As far as micromanaging finite resources, technical innovation easily solves the problem, especially as we become a space emerging culture.  The argument over private planes, private cars, and even space travel is to take away options from people and force them into micromanaged centralized governments, which stunts GDP growth.  But to maintain control over populations, that is a perfectly acceptable attribute.  Most of those types of people don’t want a population of innovation from free people.  They want control, which means making people dependent, and as a byproduct, they innovate less, and society stifles in reaction.  Which is why we don’t have our own version of Jetson cars.  By now, we should.  Private flight is the ultimate way to get around; more people should have it. I’d like to see it moving away from airports altogether and becoming an option in our driveways, just as easy as getting into our cars as we do now.  We need more options, not less, for independent, remote travel.

The ultimate way to travel

It’s the same argument we have with the RV culture, which I am very supportive of.  Why should people be allowed to pack up a part of their house and take it thousands of miles away when gas mileage consumes about 8 miles per gallon?  You could otherwise fly and stay at a hotel when you arrive.  From experience, I can say that there is nothing like having your own bed while traveling and your own kitchen and dining area.  When you stay at a hotel, you never feel at home, but in your RV, you are always home.  When we travel with our grandkids, they prefer to use the RV restroom instead of going to gas stations that are almost always too dirty.  It is much better not to share space if you can help it.  And to that same effect, it would be good for me to have a new Piper M700 Fury so that I could fly somewhere and back on the same day and not even worry about the sleeping over part when you can fly 5 or 6 people comfortably and quickly somewhere that has far more value than in saving the planet from fuel consumption.  Consume the fuel, achieve the task of intellect, and if the earth needs some resource management, apply terraform technology to maintain stability.  Burn the gas to feed the human intellect because the process of thought and meeting other people to do so is more critical than fake preservation of the planet to serve the needs of micromanagers and centralized authority types.  I love private planes and if more people had them, the cost could come down, and they’d be much more common.  I would like to see a lot more personalized transportation in the sky than restricting travel to the ground as the future evolves.  Humans were made to create; to do so, they need personal freedom.  And private planes provide that kind of freedom in wonderful ways, ways we need to advance and support in a much better way.  We should have a world where everyone could have a Piper M700 Fury or a sky car in every driveway that anybody could fly with the push of a button.

The Government Could Never Run SpaceX: Technical innovation works best under capitalist markets

Again, let’s make something clear.  The government cannot make things, and most everything it does in most cases is terrible.  However, we need the government to maintain national and statewide concerns.  You need just enough government to manage a community but never enough to become tyrannical.  So, I’m not an anti-government guy, but I am an anti-stupid guy.  Dumb people tend to be drawn to government work because they hope the power of government will cover up how stupid they are and can hide it from the world; government tends to have all the wrong people in it from top to bottom, so what we let them do has to be managed to a minimum.  Those same people never become magically competent and suddenly make things better by attending a few meetings and acquiring some name tag at a meet and greet where they draw their name on it with a marker.  So it is absolutely absurd that anybody in government thinks they could do anything with SpaceX other than fill out a permit, which they can’t even do promptly.  But that is the word on the street, now that they’ve seen that the Starship from SpaceX is going to be successful, with the third test flight coming up soon, there are leaked talks that the government wants to take over the Starship as a “national necessity” and make it part of the military.  First of all, I do not doubt that the government in any form, through the Department of Defense, Homeland Security, the Space Force, the Air Force, or any branch of government, thinks that all civilian enterprises as valuable as SpaceX have become, should be held down to the limits government can provide.  Many in government believe that no company such as SpaceX should exist beyond the control of government and that they can’t be the first to claim the moon, Mars, and other celestial bodies as a private company, set up bases, and govern people in the far reaches of space. 

There are many people who think only a government can have power that is then accountable to voters, and they can never get their minds wrapped around the purpose of government in the first place, which is why we have the current Civil War that we do in the world, the corporations against free people.  Who does the government report to, and what is its purpose?  Corporations use the power of government not as capitalist, free market enterprises but as clubs to beat down their competition and secure their stake in the marketplace.  Pfizer comes to mind in its relationship with the World Economic Forum to be in the business of making bioweapons in a Wuhan lab and releasing them during election years to control who runs countries through stolen elections so that they can then use government to force private people to consume their product.  I don’t think SpaceX will let the government take over anything.  They have shown that they can partner with the government, such as they have with NASA, to have success, but such relationships have slowed SpaceX down a lot, not made it better.  But because the government regulates so much of the space industry, such partnerships are essential, if not stupid.  Amazingly, SpaceX has managed to do as well as with such government partnerships.  But now that SpaceX has been successful, with the Falcon rockets and the Dragon programs, now that Starship is ready to make its mark as a very efficient space taxi, many in the government are having delusions that they could run SpaceX better than the private market and that is just absurd, and will never happen.  It can’t happen. 

Government workers cannot perform at the rate of technical innovations required for the space industry.  They don’t have it in them, and the nature of government prevents such a possibility.  So, for the government to take over SpaceX in any way is unrealistic.  Like everything they do, from building highways to teaching children in schools, the government cannot perform the task better than free markets.  The concept of profit fuels ambition, and the typical government bureaucrat, even in the military forces, can not do great things without the idea of profit being used to fuel the task.  And profit doesn’t just come in the form of money.  It can come in the ambitions of a future task, but those who can provide opportunity tend to evoke such ambition that creates invention.  All government work tends to fall under a structured concept that limits the work to the scope of the people doing it.  In the private industry, people tend to rise to meet the needs of the work.  However, in government-managed enterprises, the work is limited to the skills of the people who manage to get into government work because of multiple psychological problems that draw them to it.  This is why there aren’t more companies like SpaceX: they never grow so big and powerful in such a short time and on such a scale that the government doesn’t see them as a threat and destroys them well in advance.  When you watch a SpaceX launch, and the crowd cheers the way they do, there is a collective celebration from the human race with each new achievement that is quite audible.  That’s because people know.  They know how significant many of these technical innovations are and that SpaceX has been able to outrun the limits of government to achieve them for the betterment of everyone.

It is a problem that civilization has reconciled that has not occurred yet in our development over many thousands of years.  Work is done best by free people who benefit from the invention, as opposed to controlling powers manipulated by a few administrators who can distribute that power based on favors.  Depending on the ratio of those effects, you can know if your civilization is good and successful or oppressive and tyrannical.  And no tyrannical civilization has ever been successful at innovation and invention.  That’s why communist countries like China must steal everything they do.  They cannot think independently because they use the power of government to hide their incompetence through collective government power, so they stifle creative thought instead of unleashing it.  To do what SpaceX wants to do over the next decade, there are literally millions and millions of inventions that will have to occur from many more sources than SpaceX to make it happen.  But the effort starts with them and their free ability to meet marketplace demands.  But without profit being the key to their operation, none of it will occur, and the government will regulate the industry back to the stone age, which is the only thing they can do predictably, holding back innovation and the spirit of invention.  America and American capitalism have been more successful than any other place in the world because we have a country that prevents government from harming people more than any other place, so companies like SpaceX can form.  A company like SpaceX would never occur in a communist country like China.  They can copy but can’t create, which is the rule in most endeavors.  In that way, anybody who is worried that the government will take over SpaceX can rest assured that it won’t.  They might try, but once they did take over SpaceX operations, they would ruin everything they had built, and it would be just a matter of months before the government would celebrate screwing in a light bulb rather than unleashing flights into space.  And that is being kind to the light bulb.

Why The Bad Guys Want to Destroy America: Because they want to hide their massive crimes by getting rid of those who will prosecute them

It’s time to admit to ourselves that America, as we have thought of it, has been lost for a long time. We have always thought of it as something that would always be there for us, an immovable monument of truth, justice, and a way of life that the rest of the world envied for a good reason. We have been played for suckers by people who obviously don’t respect us for designs of evil perpetuated by extremely corrupt people, and we have been born and raised to think it is our obligation to always turn the other cheek and forgive those intentions. When Trump says that if he is not re-elected that he thinks America will plunge into a great depression, one that will make the one from the 1930s look easy by comparison. I would argue that we are already in a depression, everything costs over 30% more and our dollar is about to be wiped away on the world stage. Additionally, they have been lying to us about the recession and depression numbers as it has all been propped up with the same kind of phony money that BlackRock has used from the Federal Reserve to prop up investments that were never made to represent real commercial interest, but only the tampering of a corrupt government intent to print money and buy their way into continued power and a media that will whore themselves to any Democrat position to facilitate the destruction of America so that a new world government can rise in the aftermath. Yes, the moment that people no longer believe in our elections and that they can get Trump back into the White House, all the air would come out of the balloon and anything left of consumer confidence would dissipate into vapor. It’s not an inflationary statement to say such a thing, as it is true today. We just haven’t admitted it to ourselves yet because we have been holding out hope.

I watched the Trump speech in Iowa carefully, the very long one he did in Newton. I was thinking about a couple of things as I watched it, the first was one of Trump’s books, The Art of the Comeback which is a roadmap of what he intends to do when he gets back into office. He’s been way over the cliff before, so he knows how to handle the pressure and there is a plan to get out of it. When he says that we can wipe out our 34 trillion dollars in debt, he’s right. We can solve all our problems, and we can do it pretty easily with the right kind of guy in the White House. And I would argue that America needed to arrive where they are now to get behind a president who needs to do what he needs to do. We can do this, but it will take an overwhelming election and the kind of mind that is specifically like Trump’s to pull it off. Because the other thing I was reading was the monstrosity of a letter that Dr. Fauci was behind that convinced the White House to pull off the ridiculous plan by Richard Hatchett. The paper Hatchett wrote 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 by RFK. Then on pg. 386, he makes his recommendation to the Chinese, “There is a literature which I would certainly encourage the Chinese authorities to review.” Which was his direct attack on the Bill of Rights from a 2007 study and a 2006 Pandemic Influenza Implementation Plan, which he wrote. Once the Chinese bit on the plan they then turned it toward the White House and put it into Trump’s lap, knowing it was an election year and he would have to listen to them.

I have always said that Covid was an attack by the World Economic Forum that controlled policy in China to use them as a military weapon against America for its complete destruction. I have always said that the World Economic Forum through centralized banking has been an acting hostile nation working against America as a sovereign nation and that they intended to use the Covid bioweapon which is what it was, as coordinated by Peter Daszak from the CIA controlled asset EcoHealth Alliance, Ralph Baric who was Dr. Fauci’s premier gain-of-function researcher out of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill who purposely, and audaciously utilized ligation technology to hide the human tampering which made Covid more transmissible to humans from its normalized state, to make it a bioweapon. And of course, there is Dr. Fauci, Bill Gates, all of China, Klaus Schwab, Tedros Ghebreyesus, the director general of the World Health Organization, there is a whole list of characters who committed treason against the United States in a very deliberate way and they thought they could get away with it because of Baric’s fingerprint removal process in the manipulated viruses. Only, 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 which was proof that Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates was counting on never getting out to the public. Or a former president like Trump learning what was done to him and his administration that caused 16 trillion dollars in losses in America alone and destroyed over a million small businesses. Who is going to pay for all that? Not to mention the many lives that were lost in the many millions and millions as a direct result of this scandal. Then as if that weren’t enough, all these same characters pouring straight out of the World Economic Forum were involved in the greatest election fraud the world has ever seen in the 2020 election.

This has been an attack on our culture to hide massive crimes behind their ridiculousness

All these bad guys thought we would never see what they did, but they had no choice.  They were so in trouble over Covid that they had to put a puppet president in office to control the future investigations into their massive crimes committed with Covid, the release of a bioweapon created by Americans, connected to the strategic intentions of the World Economic Forum, pawned to the low regulatory environment of China so that they could use their communist cover to keep it all a secret and to use that leverage to unleash a long hatched plan conceived by Richard Hatchett to destroy the concept of a Bill of Rights in all Western Cultures.  Trump now knows all this, but he certainly didn’t in January of 2020.  But Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates knew what they were doing and they did it purposely, and maliciously, and now we have all paid dearly for it.  So yes, there needs to be a revenge tour, and Trump is just the kind of person we need for it.  But before we can ever make America Great Again, and pay off the massive depts committed by these horrendous thieves and criminals who deserve to be put on trial and convicted for mass crimes against humanity.  Remember, we know they tampered with that virus and can prove it.  But so far, people have not had the guts to admit to themselves what happened, we must put things in perspective.  And before we can fix it, people must get their minds wrapped around it, starting with Trump’s re-election.  And what then must come next has to be proportional payment for the massive crimes that have been committed against us with the intent to destroy us utterly, and completely.

Lifting the Curse: What we must do in 2024

One of the key ways that the enemies of America have been able to erode our ethical values as a society is by attacking our morality once it has been exposed. And we are made vulnerable to this trait once attackers gain control of our basic needs for survival by controlling our means of income. That is the entire strategy of the Desecrators of Davos, the global tyrants of the World Economic Forum, and their propped-up bad guy, China, to rule the world through a communist plan. The more they have been able to attack the basic value system of Western Civilization, the more control they have been able to exert over individual people in a cultural, mass way. That is why I have said often lately there are things in life that I clearly won’t do for money because if you are functioning from an ethical behavior, then automatically, the bad guys lose a tremendous amount of leverage over you by nature. This is, after all, what the whole Epstein Island extortion racket was all about. And I can say, and I’d like to share that freedom with other people, that the best things in life do not come just from the most income. Not that wealth is bad. But wealth that is tied to strings attached that people in the World Economic Forum control is bad, and often results in a loss of freedom. Sure, you might have large sums of money in the bank account, but if the bank can take it away from you on a whim, then what you have isn’t yours. So we have to fight these bad guys with all that in mind. Over the last few months, I was offered a few seven-figure opportunities that I turned down. The reasoning was similar to an old story I love from a great book, Myths and Folklore of Ireland, by Jeremiah Curtin, specifically “The King of Erin and the Queen of the Lonesome Island.” What makes Western civilization so great is that our culture, cascading off of biblical tradition, produces great art that represents real values, which are at the heart of this specified story. I think of this story when people ask me why I turn down offers like that. And I offer it to other people when we discuss what should or should not be done to acquire wealth, and the traps that often come with it by the tyrants of the world that want nothing more than to control you and everything you care about.

I highly revere Irish literature, especially the kind attributed to the King of Erin and his love interest, the Queen of Lonesome Island. It’s a good story about some ill-fated characters who find each other romantically inclined, but he’s married to an evil queen and has a couple of illegitimate kids with her that he thinks are his own. So when he has a kid with the Queen of Lonesome Island and grows up to reconcile with his father and compete with these other siblings for the father’s attention, the mother’s love, and the rights to a kingdom, the setting is set for a grand adventure. One of my favorite books in the history of the world is Finnegans Wake by James Joyce, which I consider to be written in the language of the Elohim. I don’t think it was meant for human eyes and ears. But to the Divine Council and their rebels against goodness that thrive beyond our ability to see them. Yet they are there with massive armies of malice; to deal with them, we must have some intellectual capacity to accommodate them into our thoughts. And many of these Irish stories do just that. With that tradition in mind, the young prince, trying to reconcile with his father, is told to save his kingdom by going to the flaming well of Tubber Tintye and retrieving three cups of water from that golden castle, currently under a dark spell that has corrupted the world, kind of like our current times with the Biden administration.

After a series of adventures, the prince arrives at the castle where all the giants and monsters plagued by the curse are asleep for seven years, a recurring numerical theme we see in the ancient world.  It is certainly present in the Bible, but it traces back tens of thousands of years to pagan religions obsessed with star alignments and heavenly bodies’ mathematical comings and goings.  So the prince plans to get into the flaming room of gold to get water during this 7-year period when all the monsters are asleep.  So he comes to the hall in the castle that has thirteen rooms along it, more numerical significance.  The thirteenth room is the destination, and along the way are rooms with beautiful women in each one, twelve rooms in total; these are the twelve disciples, the twelve months of the year, the relationship to eternity, and the universe in general.  As the young prince walks toward that thirteenth room, he looks into the first room door and sees the most beautiful woman he has ever seen lying there invitingly.  He is tempted to go in but resists.  He’s there to accomplish a mission and tries to stay focused.  This would be equivalent in our current time to China offering to pay off a politician or to send a honeypot to your hotel while out on a business trip, hoping to get dirt on you. 

The prince goes to the next room, and in that room, he sees a woman who makes the previous woman look ugly by comparison.  And so it goes all the way down the twelve rooms, each with a much more beautiful woman in them.  Until he gets to the thirteenth room, where he sees the most beautiful woman ever created by the universe. This is the Queen of Tubber Tintye, and she is sleeping on a golden couch, spinning around the room around that well of fire where he is supposed to get his water to save his kingdom.  The prince rests for the next six days (these are the days of the week leading up to the Sabbath), gathers his water, and then leaves to save his kingdom.  But first, he leaves behind a polite letter explaining to the Queen who he is and what he has done.  After another six years, the Queen wakes up and sees a baby about six years old playing there on the floor, waiting for parental guidance, so she is angry to know who gave her a baby.  After some searching, she finds the letter and learns about the prince.  The story climaxes with the death of the evil queen and her two manipulative sons.  All the bad people die, which is just a great story.  The King of Erin is reunited with his real love, the Queen of Lonesome Island as the Queen of Tubber Tintye lifts the curse over all the land.  The young prince marries the Queen and is now the king over Tubber Tintye, and everyone lives happily ever after.  But why? The prince resisted temptation and stayed true to his purpose in life.  And while he could have stopped by that first or second room and had relations with what he thought at the time was the most beautiful woman in the world, he would have given up entire kingdoms in the process.  But he saved the world because he held out, resisted temptation, and stayed focused on retrieving the golden flaming fire.  And in so many ways, that is how we will defeat evil now.  Only the burning well is our upcoming election of 2024.  And we must stay on point to deliver our society from evil and slay the parasites that stand in our way for the betterment of all humanity.
