The 1776 Report: One of the greatest things President Trump did during his first term

I personally think it’s one of the most extraordinary things that President Trump did during his first four years in office, but it was published during that tumultuous time as he had to leave and Biden was inserted.  As soon as the election results were in, I hunkered down, knowing there would be some dark days ahead.  We had just struggled through a horrendous year with Covid and now the tunnel in those cold days of 2020 going into 2021 had just gotten much longer.  But like all things that the Trump Organization does, and President Trump himself built up the brand in ways that greatly accentuated America, even with all the chaos of election fraud and talk of insurrection, the President in one of his final moments of power commissioned The 1776 Report, which was to be part of a larger project, The 1776 Commission, that would evolve into a new kind of Mt. Rushmore park dedicated to American patriotism.  I even noticed that an old friend of mine, Joshua Charles was on it as the President picked a handful of people to record what America was supposed to be so future generations wouldn’t forget, which was clearly at that time and now, trying to be erased by globalist forces hell-bent on our complete destruction.  When it mattered most, Trump was a patriot who wanted to counter The 1619 Project, which was a hostile Marxist organization established to rewrite American history into victimized slave state criteria, when it was obviously the opposite.  America, because of its Constitution, ended slavery.  It didn’t build the nation off it as it was being proposed by the American-hating political parties who smelled blood in the water, blood they poured in deliberately.  Yet in those dark moments, Trump showed best who he was and just how dedicated he was to our country, and he truly showed that he loved it as much if not more, than the rest of us.

I didn’t expect anything out of Trump at that point, and in November of 2020, right after the election, I turned to someone I like a lot to gauge my opinions on the matter and recharge my patriotism, Cleon Skousen, books like The Naked Communist, The Naked Capitalist, and The 5000 Year Leap.  It was clear to me what was happening. Skousen had warned about it in the 1950s and 1960s, and his words were actually coming true in 2020.  I was so angry about the election, and so many people around me were asking me what to do, they were ready to pick up arms and retake the government.  So, I needed perspective as Biden stepped into the White House.  My wife and I hit the road to get away for a while as we traveled all over the United States in our RV to “think.”  It started in the deserts of New Mexico but ended up in Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, and South Dakota for a while and I didn’t notice myself the report that Trump’s 1776 Commission had written.  It was published to the public in several forms during that exact time, first as a PDF and then as a softcover book.  Then, as a hardcover during that following summer.  But by then the damage was well under way.  The first thing that Biden did on day one in office was decommission The 1776 Commission and attempt to stifle the report.  The Biden administration, along with their globalist insurgents, was attempting to erase America, and they were starting with all the patriotic acts President Trump had been implementing in order to demoralize our nation into submission. We weren’t witnessing a transfer of power popularly elected by the people.  We were seeing a hostile coup disguised as a free election but intended to quietly conquer us all with a well-planned trojan horse sent by globalists who were making their power move. 

But The 1776 Report was like Noah’s Ark in those dark and stormy days that clearly announced what a second Trump term would look like and is the blueprint for our resurrection from the ashes of that purposeful destruction.  I returned from those trips out west in the deserts and mountains with a renewed sense of patriotism, and I was thrilled to read the Report, which I’d recommend to everyone now.  For those looking for revenge in 2024, we have long waited for this moment, and the guide for what to do next is right there in the Report.  Anybody who questions President Trump and his intentions can only read that report and know what he has in mind.  And I’m excited about it because I don’t see just the start of a second Trump term to get back to the good days we had under him and the patriotism that was sure to be established in the wake of it.  But I was invited recently to a kind of open discussion on Elon Musk’s X platform where J.D. Vance, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Musk himself were discussing current events in ways I have never heard before.  There were other speakers there, but it was an exciting debate that showed me what life after Trump could look like.  It all started with The 1776 Report, published in a chaotic time as almost putting Moses in a little straw boat to save America from a treacherous pharaoh wanting to preserve his power from the forces of freedom. 

It would be a good idea to get this report and pass it around to friends and family as we approach the 2024 election.  I would call it the battle plan for the next few decades of American sovereignty and the goals of our republic, and it will be one of the most significant contributions of the Trump presidency for many hundreds of years to come.  History will remember these dark days for the leaders who emerged, and I couldn’t help but think all that while listening to that event with Ramaswamy, Vance, and Musk all at the same time and place.  I could see Trump retiring after a second term, turning all this over to them and us for a continuation of The 1776 Project so that young people would never forget.  I would consider Vance and Ramaswamy very young and the country’s future.  And their guiding light, as should be everyone, is The 1776 Report.  That is what America is all about and how we need to be thinking about 2024 and beyond.  We have seen now what the world wishes for us, and yes, revenge is the correct word for it, because there can be no justice in the world if the people who did all this to us are not punished.  But punishment comes in many forms.  Living well is one of them.  And in the spirit of that report written and published as the Biden administration was attempting to erase America for all time, some of American life’s best attributes emerged.  I saw it as my wife and I traveled that year, camping in a different spot almost every night and spending my mornings and evenings reading books and writing myself.  Touching the face of America and all its glory that Trump managed to capture in The 1776 Report which future generations will understand to be the miracle of America which might end up saving humanity after all from the clutches of evil in all its forms, expressed most destructively through globalism and corporate communism that has showed us its teeth for history to remember.

The Attack Against America Through Property Ownership: When the Fed prints fake money to give power to foreign interests it should have always been obvious

It continues to mystify me that more people don’t realize the war that has been waged against America on many fronts. I was reminded of this the other day when I got an offer to buy my home from some investment company which has been happening at least twice a week for a while now. They have been doing this a lot lately, not just me, but lots of people, and the first question everyone should have is where these companies got all this money to buy all these homes for the top price? And why are they doing it? Then I heard that a company I know well north of Dayton, Ohio, family-owned and famous for it, had sold out to a similar conglomerate. If people have not been paying attention, those mom-and-pop shops around the country are becoming very rare and being replaced with corporate conglomerates. Then, we learned the real reason for many of these purchases, which was exposed during COVID-19. The belief that the government has with its corporate partnerships is that it can rule over the world if only it controls how people make money, and the primary way to do that is to turn people from owners of property into renters. In that way, people are forced like hamsters to continue running on the treadmill of life, not off the value of their property, forcing people to do whatever the government says to make money to live. It’s a very sinister game and a very silent and private mode of attack that has been utilized to do what Karl Marx always wanted: to give governments the means of controlling production. To do that, you have to gain power over private ownership, which is the homes and businesses of average Americans.

The game plan was exposed when the government thought it could in 2021 mandate vaccines to all companies somehow connected to government work, which, if you count contractors, was just about everyone in some way or another.  It was quite obvious that a sinister plan was unveiled in those treacherous times of lockdowns and the Biden administration’s open border policies.  But there was something even worse happening that few people had a mind to see, a mode of attack that was always a concern in America, especially when we allowed the Federal Reserve to control our monetary policy starting in 1913.  It has always been a weary experiment, but now the worst of it has become apparent.  It’s a nasty game that we have now witnessed through BlackRock activism and other money managers, and it’s the scheme behind this buying up of property in America so that the mob then owned the ownership of those assets to take that power away from individuals and give it to giant corporate conglomerates.  I have told this story before regarding The Lords of Easy money, in how Federal Reserve policy revolving around Modern Monetary Theory and Quantitative Easing have pumped money into Wall Street markets that are not represented in actual value but simply an overt form of money laundering where fake money is primed into the system to wash out behind a mask of actual value.  Through this method, these money managers have been able to get access to so much cash to buy up all these homes and companies so that they could turn Americans into renters when they were formerly owners. As we saw during COVID-19, attacking ownership was how central governments could flex their muscles under the disguise of a health crisis to test their ability to manipulate the mass public in new and sinister ways. 

This is precisely how all these ridiculous woke policies have been enacted so audaciously into public acceptance, such as ESG standards.  CEOs, too, have been replaced with woke leadership; this is obvious in popular media companies like Disney, where the company has been destroyed away from what Walt Disney envisioned.  Most entertainment these days, from record companies to film production, is now dominated by woke CEOs who put more value in stakeholder capitalism attempts than the traditional understandings of shareholder measures.  When Karl Marx talked about gaining the means of production, this was another way of performing the task.  When we talk about Bill Gates or China buying up massive amounts of American farmland, it’s not because they want to buy a tractor, wear coveralls, and change their careers from blood-sucking parasites to productive farmers.  They want to control the food supply by crushing out private ownership.  That’s what the message is in New York with Leticia James and her thugs of doom against the Trump Organization.  It’s to show that the courts can take away the rights of private businesses.  It’s no different from when the communists took over Russia, with Lenin leading the way.  By gaining control of property ownership, they gain then control of the means of production, which is what they have been after with this sinister game started at the Federal Reserve, where they print money recklessly, then pump it into an economy so that companies like BlackRock can prop up values and gain control of corporate boards with fake majority ownership.  And from there, they can set policies to control the means of production.  Remember when the terrorist Barack Obama told NASA to stop going to space but to study the influence Muslims had on science historically?  That’s what we are talking about and why we see so much of this corporate purchasing of private ownership in America. 

We are being attacked in many ways, all but the traditional ones that everyone is prepared for.  Regarding monetary policy, most people glaze over and assume that any discussion is over their pay grade.  They understand troops and tanks but have no idea how the Federal Reserve is connected to centralized banks and how all those roads go back to the World Economic Forum and the United Nations. They want desperately to impose new rules on the most productive economy in the world, the capitalist-driven wonder that is America fueled by private property ownership.  The concept of private property drives everything in America, and that notion is being attacked at a fundamental level.  It is tempting to sell off a home that people raised their families in and infuse them with sudden cash that disappears in a few years rather than the memories that build lives around the idea of ownership.  The same is true for companies where market values are determined by competitive enterprises rather than adherence to government policies.  The government must have a monopoly over private ownership to get the stakeholder capitalism concept to work. In the 2020s, they thought they had enough to sell the effects of the COVID policy broadcast from sources outside the United States that these money managers had more power than the government that represented the country’s people.  And it was one of the most overt and sinister attacks by any collected mass of enforcement the world has yet witnessed.  But a lot of short-sighted people took the phony, made-up cash from the Federal Reserve and bought a new boat or blew the money on expensive vacations for short-run gains, only to become slaves to the system in the aftermath, which was always an attack on the American way of life to destroy it forever and erase its effectiveness from the pages of history, so a new Marxist policy could be utilized by a one world government, built on fake money and centralized power to enact tyranny to every, single person on earth.

Remember Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon When the Revenge Tour Begins: God can forgive these vile Marxists, but I won’t

Yes, there must be a revenge tour.  But remember the reason why when you think of Peter Navarro, just one of the members of the Trump White House that has been found in contempt of Congress for the fake Jan 6th committee that was drunk on power and showing a massive willingness to abuse it.  As if Whoopi Goldberg the slob from The View dancing to the completely ridiculous jury verdict against Trump by E. Jean Carroll, or the monstrously corrupt Leticia James attempt in New York to strip all of Trump’s businesses away from him and to penalize him further in fines that make the nearly 100 million awarded to Carroll seem small in comparison.  Think of the nice senior citizen Peter Navarro and his friend Steve Bannon who both of sentences of 4 months in jail for doing much less than Barack Obama, Eric Holder, Hunter Biden, and Lois Lerner had all done, and that is show contempt for Congress in not showing up for testimony.  In Navarro’s case, and Bannon’s they both evoked executive privilege, which they have a right to by custom as members of the Executive Branch. Yet the selective enforcement and desire to put Peter in leg irons in front of people at the airport, and parade him around in public to embarrass him says to everyone what we are dealing with.  These Marxists have gone way too far and have no right to cry when all this gets turned around on them.  They won’t have a right to cry about their skin color, their weight, or their identity politics.  They showed their cards, they took their shot, and now they are going to all have to pay for it.  We will have to have a revenge tour in America to pay all these people back, who have done this to Trump, Navarro, Bannon, and all of us.  Because this isn’t just about the abuses of power applied to members of a former administration that is currently making a political comeback.  It goes back to what Barack Obama said when he first entered office as a domestic terrorist, it’s about fundamentally transforming America.  What they always meant by that was to transform America from a capitalist country of biblical justice to a Marxist hell hole run by lunatics, atheists, and cutthroat scum bags.  And what they have been exhibiting was a spike of the football in front of all our faces of their control over all our institutions.  And that should make everyone mad, no matter what your political affiliation is.

I’ve spent much of the last week reassuring people of all these cases against Trump and his White House members who will likely be picked again to do jobs in the third Trump term.  As I have been saying, all this audacious behavior from these obvious outright Marxists has been necessary.  I’ve been explaining it for years, but ordinary people needed to see how bad these people are.  This hatred of money, white people, and America in general just can’t be tolerated.  It’s not a condition of race debate any longer.  Attorney Generals like Leticia James, who has ran out the NRA from New York, can’t be allowed to do what they have done to our legal system and get away with it.  Fani Willis, the District Attorney in Fulton County and outright Marxist, is learning already that there are no separate rules for thee and not me criteria.  She, of course, was caught red-handed deep in a corruption scandal even as she abused the law massively to go not only after Trump for challenging a corrupt election but many of his supporters.  She went for the headshot, and now she will have to deal with the aftermath, which will not be pretty for her. 

Everyone seems to forget that there are appeals courts for this very reason, and in all these cases, including the E. Jean Carroll case, it’s not even close. Obvious abuses of power have been displayed, and these social Marxists have overloaded our legal system with these obvious frivolous cases purposely, as just another Cloward and Piven leftist approach, hoping that they could change public sentiment before the appeals courts could catch up to reality. By the time the dust settles on all this, Trump will be in the White House again, people will be enjoying a flourishing economy, and all these losers will have to deal with the ramifications of their actions. They made their move toward Marxism and showed the public their teeth, and now nobody can unsee what they did. This desire to put Peter Navarro in jail and Steve Bannon, if the appeals process doesn’t just dump the cases on merit, open the door to do the same to everyone in the Biden administration, all these Soros District Attorneys, and even members of the Obama administration for crimes left unsolved. All this spectacle has only, in the end, exposed the connection they all have to the top, to the Deep State, and within the general Beltway culture as it flows into our courts through the Bar Association, which includes Republicans and Democrats. The best thing to come out of all of it has been the revelation of just how rigged the game always was, the penetration of Marxism into our country, and the maniacal nature of the participants.

They brought it on themselves

A lot of the reason that these real criminals who have taken control of our government have gotten away with it is because identity politics has shielded them from public judgment. We were not allowed to have an opinion on Leticia James or Fani Willis because they were women of color. We were not allowed to call Barack Obama a terrorist fighting on behalf of Marxism because he was a person of color who had serious daddy issues; he didn’t know who he was or where he came from. We were supposed to take some doctored document made up much later to confirm Obama’s eligibility to be in the White House. And when Sheriff Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona, proved that Obama had severe problems with his birth certificate, the Justice Department went after him. Trump gave Arpaio a pardon in 2017 for being found guilty of criminal contempt of the court where they were trying to put him in jail as an 80-year-old respected member of law enforcement. (knowing what we do now about election fraud in Maricopa County, do we really think Arpaio lost that election there to a Democrat) This story with Navarro is just the latest in a long line of abuses that have finally revealed to America how the game has been played for most of their lives. And their path to fixing it is to elect Trump again, who will have the guts to do to all these cases what Trump did for Arpaio. And when he does, there is nothing these crooked courts will be able to do to keep their plots of Marxism corrupting our legal system in America, where the intent was to bring down the entire system. As these many insurgents must pay for their crimes against true patriots, and I would say I personally like Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro, and they are real patriots (they leave it all on the field), there won’t be any sympathy for crying. Fani Willis has already tried to play that card, and before 2020, people might have listened to her. They might have had an ear for the race card. But not now. People have seen how this game is rigged and are ready to make a change. And that change will be brutal, as it should be, for all those who have taken this shot of Marxism to kill capitalism and, with it, the lives of all Americans with a coup that has been unforgivable. All these plots against Trump and his supporters will be forgiven and destroyed through the appeals process and presidential pardons. But the plots against them by these hostile Marxist insurgents will be remembered forever. I can say that I will never forget about them, nor will I forgive them. If Jesus wants to forgive these losers by the eternal grace of God, have at it. But I won’t. And I’m sure God will forgive me for my hatred of them and the ruthlessness that must follow as we fight for the kingdom of Heaven to be revealed through America over those we must conquer to make it so.

We must removed radical Marxism from all our institutions, especially our courts

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

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

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

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

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

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Has Been A Devastatingly Stupid Hiring Practice: Why Doors Fall Off Airplanes

I like Boeing as a company; I know many people who work there and consider it one of the significant assets of American manufacturing. But as I have been saying for a long time, the enemies of America are not fighting us in the way we would expect, with tanks and troops. Instead, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion standards (DEI) have been introduced into our corporate culture to essentially destroy American capitalism from the perspective of the global Marxists, and we are now seeing the results. Feminism and other Civil Rights concerns for the political left were never about fairness; it was always intended to project quality, that one person was no better than another to erode any system of merit that might exist in a culture. By making value about everything but what was important, they could destroy the concept of value produced through economic means. And that’s what we are now seeing in big corporations like Boeing who thought they were playing the game of the future, hiring people based on all the wrong criteria, sex, skin color, and sexual preference, and they lowered their standards to allow those people to be in high ranking positions, then everyone was confused when a door flew off one of there best aircraft, the Boeing 737 MAX 9.

Luckily nobody was sitting by that emergency door when it fell off while in flight, and the altitude wasn’t at its peak where the pressure outside was much lower and would have sucked out everyone in the plane. But it was a terrifying thing to witness from people riding what they expected to be an uneventful flight on Alaskan Airlines. This isn’t the first time Boeing has had significant problems with this plane. But if there was one root cause to the mess Boeing has been going through over the last decade, it traces back to the problems of globalism and trying to meet the ridiculous social standards of the World Economic Forum. Diversity hirings have been devastating to all companies that have been suckered into them, especially in aviation, where the hires used to come out of the military and pilots had thousands of hours of training while serving. But these days, many of those upper-level executive positions are being filled with DEI candidates who are put in place for all the wrong leadership qualities. Even as I write this, I have just received a notification that a book I have ordered is being delayed due to severe weather. About an inch of snow is on the ground, so the delivery trucks have been called in to ride out the weather. That amount of snow is hardly significant, but when you start hiring all the wrong people for important leadership jobs, that’s what you get. Too much safety, which disguises laziness for concern or horrendous quality in product manufacture, which is certainly the case with Boeing. It’s not just that particular airline company. Just ask Disney about their problems these days with the same kind of hiring practices. Promoting people without merit gets terrible results, and the consumer directly witnesses the evidence. And to people’s eyes, there is nothing worse than a door flying off an airline while in transit. In many cases, this is worse than the several crashes the same jet has had with all passengers on board because the psychological reminder of such a lack of safety is more disturbing. The enemies of America, of course, are laughing at us for following their truly dumb ideas. And this is the cost of dealing with globalists who are Marxists ideologically, advocates of socialism and communism. And the labor unions in America have joined lockstep in that movement for all the same progressive reasons. And the results have been a disaster.

The future of manufacturing and all other business endeavors will be merit-based, as they traditionally have been.  All people are not equal, which is the real message behind Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion standards.  The measure of work is not universally consistent when it comes to people of all different backgrounds.  Statistically speaking, much better people are produced in capitalist cultures as opposed to oppressed communist ones.  Because the people in those cultures have access to more things from which they can gain experience.  However, I do find that people from impoverished cultures make much harder workers who enter the workforce with a much better work ethic.  Many of the youth in America have had their work ethics trashed by public education, more progressive intrusion attempting to teach this DEI value to them and expecting the results to flourish rather than become the disaster that reality has displayed.  The message always was sameness, and if all people can do all things equally well, we should hire diverse people from all different backgrounds to perform essential leadership roles.  And that bit of stupidity has been devastating to the marketplace.  Great for people who want to destroy the idea of merit-based American capitalism.  But it isn’t enjoyable for people who expect a package to be delivered when there is an inch of snow on the ground.  The world is much worse because of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion than it ever was in the dog-eat-dog world of Capitalism.  The world works best when there is competition, which then drives value.  Without that quest for value, the world falls apart, as we see it doing now. 

What typically keeps accidents like the one from Boeing happening is the worry that a bad job might get someone fired.  But with DEI measures, employees act like the employer is lucky to have them on the job, no matter how much they screw up.  When we show a dissatisfied eye toward the government, we are thinking about how we have seen many of these problems for decades, poor performance in the consumer experience. After all, they have been hiring all the wrong people and expecting nothing from them for years.  And the results disgust us as productive people.  But we have seen under the mask of globalism this urgent desire to remove merit from work so that jobs are easy and irreplaceable, preventing terminations for lack of performance.  While the new standard of skin color and sex is the updated value system, it can’t be taken away from even the most lazy worker.  And in so doing, you give the political left precisely what they always wanted: a guaranteed job no matter how bad they were at it.  So, nobody should be surprised when doors fall off an aircraft while in flight.  And if a few people get sucked out of the plane and die, that is to be considered simply the cost of DEI. As a result, the vital thing to Boeing is that they made the World Economic Forum happy and their money managers at BlackRock because they hired a gay black woman who weighs in at 300 pounds and is an atheist.  They put someone like that in charge of installing aircraft doors and performing final inspections to get a good DEI score.  What could go wrong, as opposed to the person who has worked at installing doors on aircraft for 20 years, came from a military background, and was the best at their job and making more money than their co-workers because of the value of the work performed over a long period?  Companies seeking a good DEI score will have a lot of trouble in the future.  And the sooner corporate America stops listening to the World Economic Forum, the better for them.  The best method of producing products that the world wants, in the way that they want them, is a value of good ol’ capitalism that is merit-based because anything less won’t do.

“Decency is on the Ballot” The lying, cheating, sex-crazed Democrats and their need for power, to stay out of jail

When the “decency is on the ballot” statement is made by people like Jill Biden just as a family member of hers, Hunter Biden, her husband’s son, was called to Capitol Hill to testify on behalf of an impeachment query into multiple problems that their family has been involved in, you know you are dealing with some treacherous liars and scammers in a big way.  The Democrats represent below-the-line thinking and much more so than they used to.  These days, they are downright criminal and rely extensively on deceit to accomplish their task.  Just as Hunter Biden said to the public as he refused testimony showing obvious contempt for Congress, he was there to speak, just as he turned away and walked away.  We are dealing with people who need the power of government in order to justify their otherwise treacherous lives with deceit and scandal, which would otherwise not allow them to get out of bed in the morning due to all the guilt.  To say they are evil people is to slander the term “evil.”  They are horrendous.  And unfortunately, some people are suckers to vote for them, and Democrats have made it into a fine art to lie to them in every way possible and to toss away all guilt for their actions onto circumstances they say are beyond their control, just as Hunter Biden records himself taking bribes on a laptop from foreign governments, doing illegal drugs with physical evidence, engaging in sex acts with prostitutes, another illegal activity, then selling themselves as being virtuous.  For those who know the truth, it’s a bizarre thing to watch.  And to those who are too lazy or too stupid to know better, they are being suckered right in front of their faces.  Democrats think so little of their voters that they don’t even believe that anything they say and do should be rooted in reality. 

In truth, what is on the ballot is the economy.  The “Bidenomics” of the last three years has been in depression territory on spreadsheets.  But the system that put Biden in office and wants him to stay there for their consolidated powers denies that we are even in a recession, which would have been two negative quarters of GDP growth.  Probably the best measure for the economy was the gas prices because there has been a World Economic Forum strategy Joe Biden put in place to carry out, to end fossil fuels, destroy people’s reliance on car ownership, and attack the personal independence that people enjoy with a car in their driveway.  I have been to many places in the world, many civilized places, where people do not have cars.  Or they have to store their vehicles at some offsite facility because their apartments in the city can’t keep them anywhere, and if they did, they couldn’t drive them because the roads are too small and the traffic too intense for such a radical idea.  Americans generally have space.  Homelessness is a choice.  And you can be anywhere you want quickly, which is unique worldwide.  And that freedom has been under assault by globalist powers using Joe Biden to destroy it for a New World Order run by these same kinds of below-the-line losers.  The Biden administration has driven up gas prices into the 4-dollar-per-gallon territory to inspire people to give up their gas cars and switch to electric vehicles, conducting an attack against the very same oil companies that put the gasoline at our local pumps, hoping to destroy an entire market sector. 

But then, going into 2024 with the polls for Democrats down in treacherous ways, the oil companies conspired to bring down the price of their product to help Biden.  On the morning I did the included video, I was standing outside a gas station where unleaded regular gas was $2.62 per gallon, as just another form of deceit to the same gullible public.  When they win elections, those prices will return to the radical price fixes of an overly controlling government that seeks to put them out of business.  But some of these business executives for the gas industry are so afraid of Trump that they are willing to work with the Biden administration to keep him in power.  Because they’d rather have a puppet in the White House than free market competition, and they think people are too dumb to notice.  What is being done with the low gas prices is an attempt to get through the 2024 election season without the economy being the drag on re-election.  But even with lower gas prices, all the other consumer indexes are way off from what they were when Trump was in the White House, and people can feel that their lives have never recovered to pre-COVID optimism.  Unlike the first time, Trump ran for office with many promises, now he has a track record that even moderates remember as good.  And what Joe Biden has done to the American economy has created a lot of hate that won’t help them now because the damage is already done.  But they think so little of all of us that they believe they can fix everything with some artificially low gas prices and that the oil executives will play along toward their destruction like captured bank tellers hoping to live a few more seconds if only they comply with the bank robbers wishes and do what they say for their own survival. 

As evident as it is, the revelation of the scam is very telling.  We are being flooded with lie after lie after lie, topped with more bad conduct at a pace that the Democrats can’t lie about it anymore.  They have imposed themselves on the public in detrimental ways, and people not even curious about politics can now see it for themselves.  And Democrats won’t be able to lie out of this one.  The gas prices won’t even help them this time because decency is on the ballot in many ways.  People have seen just how evil and corrupt the Biden family is.  With all the horrendous evidence that was on that Hunter Biden laptop, people see what has happened to the guy who had possession of that laptop, Rudy Guiliani, who now is seeking bankruptcy protection from a false court settlement in Georgia that is trying to destroy him as a political enemy of the Bidens.  This is criminal activity on a scale never before witnessed in such a way that people can see.  They know what Hunter Biden is.  They see how ineffective Joe Biden is.  They know that Jill Biden is a soothsaying liberal who means the exact opposite of what she says.  How could a woman of any value be head of a family like the Biden clan and ever say the word decency in the same sentence?  People know.  This is why the 14th Amendment cases are being applied because Democrats know they have been caught, and they can’t lie their way out of this one.  So, they are trying to keep their opposition from appearing on the ballot.  Who doesn’t think this band of cheaters didn’t rig the 2020 election now?  The pressure has revealed who they really are and always were.  And the American public doesn’t like it.

Guns Are All That Stops A Tyrannical Government: The Lessons of Wounded Knee

The more you look at how bad our current government is, the more we have history to reflect on because it will be rough over the next few years for context.  And I must remind everyone why we have the Second Amendment, and for that consideration, the Battle of Wounded Knee serves a lesson we should all reflect on.  Government power unchecked often leads to bad results.  We certainly have seen some of those bad results in Waco, Ruby Ridge, and one that I think is a topic all its own, the assassination of William Cooper in 2001.  I hate to say it, but since COVID-19, I have been expecting a shootout with some tyrannical force in one form or another every day, and that certainly shouldn’t be the case.  That tyrannical force might only be an empowered criminal element driven to boldness by Democrat politics.  But a government out of control will seek to hide its complicity through sheer power and intimidation.  And the Battle of Wounded Knee is one of those times in American history where government power over innocent people evoked disastrous results.  And when pressed, such behavior is the standard foundation of all government activity.  That is why we never want government to get too big, and that they must always have their power checked with at least, equal and opposite ability.  An unarmed population is the foundation of corruption because government types cannot resist the temptation to abuse that power for their own whims and security. The Indians involved in The Battle of Wounded Knee were Americans and had a right to own guns for their own protection.  Sitting Bull had been a member of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show and was working to assimilate into American culture, so his killing was even more of a tragedy that we should all learn from as we prepare for another phase of government failure where desperation will logically drive their actions.

In August 1890 Daniel F. Royer became head of the Pine Ridge Agency; he arrived at his post in October. Many of the Oglala Lakota on his reservation had become passionate Dancers, and he was both displeased with and fearful of their religion. Whereas some federal agents and officials were more tolerant of the practice, Royer was convinced that the Ghost Dancers were militant and threatened to destroy the U.S. government’s decades-long effort to “civilize” the Lakota. When the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) requested a list of Indian “troublemakers” to be slated for relocation, Royer placed influential Dancers at the top of his list and demanded that the military address the matter.  In November the U.S. Army arrived on Lakota reservations with the goal of stopping the rise of the Ghost Dance. One source indicates that it was the largest deployment of federal troops since the end of the Civil War in 1865. Sitting Bull lived near the Standing Rock Agency, a powerful Hunkpapa Lakota chief and spiritual leader who had led the Lakota and Northern Cheyenne to victory in 1876 against the U.S. Army at the Little Bighorn. Many of his 250 followers were Dancers, and, though he was not a practitioner, he refused to let the federal government repress them any further. Maj. James McLaughlin, the reservation’s agent, resolved to arrest Sitting Bull for his role in permitting the spread of the religion. Maj. Gen. Nelson A. Miles commanded U.S. Army forces on the Lakota lands and hoped to take a peaceful approach to removing the Hunkpapa leader from the reservation. McLaughlin chose to undermine that plan, instead dispatching 43 tribal police officers to Sitting Bull’s cabin on December 15. Sitting Bull was compliant, but his followers would not relinquish him without protest. A vicious struggle ensued, and roughly 300 Indians were killed; among the dead was Sitting Bull.

Of course, the Indians had a right to fight against a tyrannical government.  The government was abusive and trending in the same direction that many similar personalities are trying to place on Trump supporters today.  What has been happening with the January 6th protestors is even worse than the infractions at Wounded Knee.  This brings up the question of what you are supposed to do when the government breaks the Constitution and you comply with authority only to be thrown in jail to rot away, against your natural rights.  Julian Assange comes to mind. I remember going to the Ecuadorian Embassy in 2018 to see him, and as I was there, I wondered what he could do if the police and military decided to storm the embassy and take him by force, which essentially is what happened shortly after.  And should he comply and go peacefully because he has lost any rights to a trial and self-defense?  And that was what was intended with Sitting Bull.  Once a powerful government finds that you are keeping it from what it wants, it will abuse that power to protect itself.  So the debate goes: what role does a person have in peace if the attacker is hell-bent on violence and intimidation?  History shows that compliance with such forces ends up in either false imprisonment or death.  So why not fight back?  To my way of thinking, fighting back is the only correct choice because the government has shown time and time again that it is irrational in its processing of risk assessment.  It doesn’t matter if it’s in a historical context or a modern one; the base behavior of government abuse is to cover that abuse with brute force.

For all these reasons and more, the worse that government gets, drunk on its power, the more guns that society must have to take the temptation out of their heads that they can abuse that power.  They restrict their behavior to something more logical when they fear a cost to the engagement.  In the case of Julian Assange, the embassy was just a block down from the east entrance to Harrod’s, the famous department store, which was constantly crawling with tourists.  The fear of a public incident was all that kept them from raiding Julian Assange, and once they peacefully took him, he lost all rights to a defense.  And back to Sitting Bull, he was a national celebrity, and he tried to comply with the authorities, but the trigger-happy military was looking for an excuse, so everyone ended up dead as a result anyway.  We have to think about these things because the Biden government is dripping with criminal conduct that has too much power.  And their only way to keep that power is with force.  They aren’t just going to give it back through a “fair election.”  So we must think about what might happen.  We can hope it doesn’t.  I certainly do.  But also, we must be ready because, as history has taught us, a government with too much power cannot be trusted, and that’s being nice about it.  The only thing that has kept us safe so far has been the Second Amendment, the fear they have of stepping over the line and having power used against them equally.  Otherwise, they would, could, and certainly will abuse our rights at every opportunity, and death or imprisonment is OK with them so long as they get to go home at night and live their lives unimpeded.  They behave civilly when they, too, must fear losing that security.

People Are Going to Cry For President Trump and Darbi Boddy When they are Gone: What will come after them will be much tougher

The world is changing whether they like it or not. They are not in charge

I don’t like the guys on the Showtime show The Circus. I have talked about enjoying that show in the past, but that was during Trump’s first run for president and the world was a much different place. These days, everyone knows what everyone thinks of each other, so some pretense of fairness is no longer needed, as it was back then. But I find that The Circus is a good political show, even if I don’t like the people who put it on. It accurately reflects the political tides of the moment, which was alarming to them when they interviewed Steve Bannon and tried to interview Kari Lake but couldn’t even get enough material to do a segment with her. Astonishingly, as knowledgeable as they are about politics, they are missing the signals going into the 2024 election. They do not understand the MAGA movement, as most people obviously don’t. And they were nothing short of stunned when they heard Steve Bannon from the Warroom podcast, who used to be a chief strategist for the Trump White House, so he’s no slack-jawed loser, tell them that Trump was a moderate in the MAGA movement and that one day in the near future, they were going to wish they had Trump back. There was a kind of stunned silence, even for them. There has been an acceptance that we live in a world where co-existence with evil was always going to be the case, and increasingly, there are people in the MAGA movement who are supporting Trump, hell or high water, for militant reasons that defy conventional politics, to put it nicely. I’ve said it since before 2015 when Trump came down the elevator of Trump Tower, and just about every day since, I want to run campaigns against Trump as a liberal because, to me, he will always be a New York Democrat. That’s the world I’m fighting for.

It didn’t have to be that way, which was my thoughts when essentially all the Butler County judges had to recuse themselves on the Darbi Boddy case, which is a screenshot of the future of politics.  There are thousands of Darbi Boddys out there, the school board member at Lakota that I have talked about so much.  The belief was that the established order would play games and prosecute her with some power over the law and order society and that everyone would bow down and kiss some ring of party politics.  That is exactly what is wrong with the Republican Party in the wake of Trump.  That the Koch Brothers and Fox News still think they have some power to steer people away from Trump, that people are so stupid that they’ll vote for Nikki Haley instead of Trump.  These are all people smoking crack and are way off the political trajectory of modern sentiment.  They aren’t even in the room of consideration regarding reality.  I tried to warn everyone about the Darbi Boddy case.  These days, some lazy attorneys hiding in the background who are looking for an easy negotiation with the next unionized labor contract by getting rid of politicians who might stand in the way of that task with threats of jail, or even worse, are over.  That kind of local political abuse of power is what gave rise to Trump and the MAGA movement.  There is no control that the system of before has over people.  They have lost it, by their own incompetence.  That is what Steve Bannon meant when he said about Trump to the interviewers of The Circus that not far in the future, they will wish they had Trump back.

Darbi’s case in Butler County should have never even seen a courtroom, and now it’s going to go to the Supreme Court, and an impartial judge will have to be selected, and the party politics that has stuck its nose in all this business has screwed things up.  Darbi Boddy certainly didn’t do anything wrong.  And the judges involved in this case knew that from the outset. Instead, they played along with some assumption that they were in control and had a right to abuse their authority for some view of the world that has long been outdated.  And that is among people I know, that they have an entrenched view of the world that is not represented by reality that they refuse to see beyond.  I could have told them if only they had listened.  But the same could be said nationally and internationally.  Most people who work in politics don’t understand.  There will be a day when Trump is no longer in politics.  Right now, Trump has broad celebrity appeal, and he has a lot of Democrats voting for him.  He has broken down the blue firewall by changing how people can support political candidates.  I like that Trump ran his White House as a strong conservative, but he is way too liberal for my taste, and I am sure there will be a future with people much further to the right than he is, that I will happily support.  Yet people who hate Trump, Darbi Boddy, and thousands of politicians who are rising in the wake of all this, who will run and win future political offices, are mystified by this process and are refusing to deal with reality, as they did in Butler County, Ohio until it was too late.  The world will move on without them because they were never in charge. 

And it’s true, in just a few years, most of the people who have declared their hatred of Trump and fought so hard to keep him out of the White House with every legal maneuver available to them, and then some, are going to wish they had Trump back.  They will not like a world run by the Darbi Boddy’s of politics.  The Lakota school district will wish they had her back, too, when she’s not there anymore.  Essentially, what we have in government are radical labor union types deeply committed to Marxism who are using old tactics of resistance to stop needed changes.  And our political system has kicked the can down the road all this time to reach this point where there is no more road.  The belief that elections could be controlled to protect the thieves looting off it is over.  And Trump is viewed among MAGA Republicans, like me, as being entirely too nice.  I think of Trump as a liberal moderate.  I see him as a Democrat.  He is far better than the other alternatives and committed to stopping kicking the can down the road. And I am very supportive of that kind of talk.  But for me, he’s not even on the conservative radar.  Once he is done with politics, I will expect people far to the right of Trump to occupy positions in the Senate and the House and at state and federal levels; I plan to see the destruction of the Department of Education and many other assumptions of labor-controlled government that have ruined our country.  Trump is just the beginning.  Over the next ten years, I expect drastic changes.  Like Darbi Boddy in Butler County, Ohio, everyone has choked on the chicken over just one person.  The political world hasn’t seen anything yet, as the recent Argentina election indicates.  This isn’t just an American thing.  But it’s a sentiment worldwide, and it’s not going back to how it was…..ever.  History will never let people forget.

Whatever Happened to Eating a Grapefruit: The Depopulation Agenda is very much alive and real

I remember well all the concern over heart attacks and people dying of them that was so prominent in the 80s and 90s.  My dad used to eat a grapefruit most days because he had a stressful job. Our healthcare industry said that if people, especially in business, wanted to live a longer life, they had to take care of their hearts by taking the stress out of their lives and eating certain kinds of fruits.  But have you noticed lately, these last several decades, that the government doesn’t seem to care much if you die unless it is to scare you into supporting more funding for something or some power grab that benefits them?  After the government-mandated vaccines of the Biden administration, a lot of people were suckered into taking them, and it’s quite obvious that there are a lot of people dying early and often in the age group of 20-50 bracket of strange illnesses.  It’s common now to hear of a popular actor or sports figure who is suddenly dying of all kinds of illnesses that usually don’t start killing people until much later in life, and there are a lot of people who would rather look away from this obvious problem.  Suddenly, our government doesn’t seem to care if we drop dead of a heart attack or some other stress-related issue.  It almost seems like they want us to die and that the entire focus on health care, which is another thing I warned about when the government under Obama wanted to seize 1/5 of the whole economy with a socialist power grab in 2010, was on capacity.  How full hospitals were and how we might help the medical labor unions have more rest and not be so stressed out.  Do you see the pattern yet?

Hindsight tells us the truth: the government healthcare analysts never really cared about heart attacks, and they certainly don’t care in a modern sense about hospitals and their often unionized staff, personally.  They were simply medical Marxists operating in the background of our society to slow down our capitalist country so that wealth could be redistributed around the world more “equally.”  A word that Marxists love to use.  Wherever you hear the word, “equality” you are listening to a Marxist radical.  The goal of all the heart attack talk in the period I referred to, from my youth, was to scare business people away from living a stressful 80-hour work week to succeed in a dog-eat-dog world of American capitalism.  They told us to eat a grapefruit and to take some yoga classes so we could learn to quiet our minds and submit to the communist authority intent to take over the world.  They weren’t interested in saving our lives, they wanted to destroy our capitalist society.  And that was the strategy behind Covid years later, to slow down our economy by keeping us home and out of the workplace, which has now gone on for a few years.  There are still a lot of companies in the world that are still accepting COVID protocols, which were completely made up on the back of a napkin by socialists, communists, and overall Marxists to slow the American economy down so that China and other tyrant regimes could catch up and be more equal.  It had nothing to do with saving lives, but threatening those lives so that there would be a behavior change from a capitalist society to a Marxist one.  As a reaction to COVID-19, the government toyed with the unconstitutional idea of mandating vaccines on an entire population, which some people took, believing the government had their best interests in mind. 

As a result, we see a lot of people in the news dying very early over illnesses that don’t usually emerge until people are older, just like the COVID-19 virus that was manufactured in a Wuhan lab in China.  Of course, this has led to the many conspiracy theories that there is a massive depopulation agenda and that people like Bill Gates are spending billions of dollars of their own money to kill people so that all of us pesky humans will save the planet, by dying.  Could there be any truth to that?  Well, of course.  There are many climate change crazies, who also happen to be Marxists, who believe that a centralized state should control production and that the state should limit the impact on the planet to get to essentially a zero-emission economy.  And, of course, anybody who is even a little good at math these days understands what that means, that there can’t be many people alive to have such an economy.  Some people are plotting the death of millions of people because they believe that the planet being saved from them is more important.  And they have been spending their money on projects that intend to depopulate the earth with shortened lives and much less fanfare over every little death that occurs.  Instead, there almost seems to be a bit of a party every time some major celebrity dies now, instead of the mournful regrets from the grapefruit days when heart attacks were to be avoided so people could live longer by slowing down the economy in an overly stressful world.  Now, they just want to slow the economy down by killing off the people who make that economy work. 

Plenty of evidence shows that the various vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna were rushed through the approval process with an almost malicious incompetency. There were all kinds of things wrong with the vaccines that appear to accelerate debilitating illnesses into an eventuality of death, and nobody seems to care. We aren’t measuring things by lives saved, as we used to, but almost like a race to rid the planet of as many people as possible, and many of these depopulation types, such as Bill Gates, are attached to government health care programs and are obsessed with giving people vaccines under the guise of saving lives when the opposite looks to be happening. So, there is no question that many people in positions of power have a depopulation agenda. What has been up to debate is whether they are killing people on purpose or if all this is accidental. The evidence points to all the youthful deaths as being purposeful, and the media reaction to them has been to numb the public and to normalize death. Not to scare people from dying. The Marxists have found a new way of slowing down economies and aligning themselves with a depopulation agenda, especially in Western countries. These are not the days of grapefruit and yoga intent to live long lives. Today’s medical care is filled with Marxists who want to erase as many people from the earth as possible to save the world from humans with a kind of deity worship that hasn’t been seen since the sacrificial cults of the Aztec and Mayan civilizations. It’s not science they are after; it’s the appeasement of concealed forces for a sentiment rooted in mass insanity. And it isn’t very productive in our modern world and has not been prosecuted as it should be. We do have people functioning in the world intent on mass murder, and they avoid prosecution by buying up the entire governments that might come after them. And millions of people are dying in the process in ways that mass murder in any previous time could never have imagined.

The truth is getting out. And it’s mainstream now

When Too Many Rules Destroy Happiness: Observations from a Disney World vacation experince

For most of September, I have been traveling. It has only been recently that travel restrictions regarding COVID-19 were lifted in places I needed to go professionally, like Canada, and Japan so these needed visits had been stacked up and a long time required. That was also the case for a family vacation to Disney World, which I had intended to do for the last three years while my grandchildren, mostly close in age, were prime for the experience. Covid restrictions and mask mandates ruined all those plans, so we waited for them to be removed before committing to anything. In September 2023, a slight window opened to do everything, so I stayed swamped catching everything up. By the end of September, I got off a flight from Tokyo, parked my car, hooked up our RV, and towed it to Florida for a week in Disney World to stay at their wonderful campground, Fort Wilderness. We almost canceled it again because of all the new policies at Disney, but we determined that this was the time if we were ever going to take the family to Disney World. Because as I have said many times over the last decade, I don’t think Disney will survive as a company. And after going there again and comparing the experience to just three years prior when my wife and I went there to see some of the new options they had, there is no question, that Disney is failing everywhere behind the veil of happiness, and I can see the entire thing completely falling apart for many reasons they will never tell you about in the media. But the Fort Wilderness Campground, an official resort for Disney was fantastic, at least from the façade of a vacation experience, and I was happy we went when we did.

From the area I walked around in my video of Fort Wilderness, we could take the boat over to Magic Kingdom and get to all the other parks, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Epcot Center with the park hopper option. It was all costly, but I could show my children and grandchildren many exciting things over three days, and camping at the Fort Wilderness Campground was one of the best experiences I have ever had. It was comfortable, luxurious, convenient, and splendid in everything you expect from a lifetime vacation experience. When I think of Disney I think of a media empire built on family values, and of Fort Wilderness itself, I think of the Davy Crockett television show and Zorro. These days, Disney is more of a princess place, but there are still all the excellent references to Americana that I found very refreshing, such as the clear statement at the entrance to Liberty Square, “The hope for freedom for all. And the courage to fight for it at any cost.” Walt Disney never wanted people to forget what a miracle America was, and he dedicated several parts of his amusement parks to that very service. I wanted to take my family there while the parks were still in their heyday. As for what I wanted out of the trip, I am thrilled with the results. The children were happy even though we averaged about 6 miles of walking daily with the park hopper passes. We saw a lot, experienced a tremendous amount of information, and we had a great six days at Fort Wilderness Campground going to the pool, hanging around the restaurant and trading post, and enjoying camp in one of the best in the world. We purposely picked the 100 loop, which requires a lot of advanced planning so that we were a close walk from the boat dock which had us coming and going constantly.

Yet, to my eyes the mistakes were obvious. Disney, because it’s a giant corporation with many thousands of employees to maintain has destroyed itself by the weight of its own success, like many major corporations do, and this goes way beyond the recent woke policies from BlackRock that have seriously destroyed their business model for good. The current park attendance will soon be a thing of the past because of their killed market share worldwide. Bob Iger, the current CEO should have never returned, and I’m sure he’s realizing that now. Disney needs to constantly produce fresh content that makes a billion dollars each at the box office, and those days are mostly over for them because of the status of the current youth, YouTube options, and their alienation of conservative Americans. For instance, most of the vacationers are Trump supporters at the Fort Wilderness Campground. However, the employees are mostly Democrat-leaning and to offset this discrepancy, Disney has a lot of rules they impose on their workforce to keep everyone lined up correctly. But what they end up with is something much like their rides, everything is great so long as you stay on the rails. But the illusions fall apart quickly if you step out of the boat.

And that became most obvious when we were all exhausted one night. Nobody felt like cooking, so we went to Crockett’s Tavern and the Trail’s End Restaurant to get some pizza. On one of them, we asked for a half and half, one side being deluxe, the other completely cheese because none of the little ones like toppings yet. You’d think that we asked those Disney employees to commit murder, they had a meltdown that involved discussions of being fired and all kinds of drama. It was like being in West World where the robots suddenly started shooting the customers. It was odd, but that wasn’t the only time. What was clear to me was that the expensive façade of the Disney vacation experience was thinner than it had ever been and it wasn’t taking much for that illusion to be shattered for the consumer. Disney had adopted many rules to keep their radical workforce in line and on the message that they had destroyed that personal touch that happy individuals bring to work with them. I’ve been to Disney World many times, and this most recent time showed clear signs of stress behind a radicalized workforce that was coming out against the customers such as we saw over that simple pizza. The pizza was good, and we had a fantastic time with our family. But after some old timers still working at Disney are gone, the next generation is not there to pick up the task and carry it into the future. Disney could hide this from the world so long as they could throw money at the problems. But they can’t even do that anymore. In the news this week, right after we left, Disney had to raise their ticket prices to their parks and there are reports that the CEO is seeking a peace treaty with the Republicans of Florida. The woke battles have left Disney permanently damaged as most people inclined to spend a lot of money at Disney World are also MAGA supporters. Disney joined the wrong politics in a volatile economic environment, which has been costly to them. We enjoyed ourselves. I am glad we made the trip now for the historical value of such a Disney experience in American culture. But given many of the things I observed, it won’t be there forever. It’s failing even worse than I had thought it was.
