Why is the Supreme Court Chicken: Jubela, Jubelo, and Jubelum

To understand why the Supreme Court is so soft on backing Trump’s deportations of illegal immigrant gang members, I think we need to understand the old story of Freemasonry regarding the killing of Hiram Abiff, or Chiram Abiff as the story is told in very esoteric circles.  Hiram was the masonic architect of King Solomon’s temple and was murdered by three ruffians while ascending the temple steps.  The murderers wanted the secrets of a Master Mason, and Hiram refused, so he was assassinated by Jubela, Jubelo, and Jubelum.  These three characters represent the mob, the church and all its superstitions, and the state and its rule over people by fear.  The mob always kills off a dynamic challenge to a static order, for which corruption profits.  The mob is the face of preservation of static human concerns.  Freemasonry aims to shed attachments to the material world by ascending the steps of wisdom.  It is always these three aspects of human existence that sabotage effort.  That was certainly the case with Pythagoras, as he was said to have been killed by the mob.  Socrates was killed by the state to preserve the mob, calling it the corruption of the youth, to teach what he was teaching.  Of course, there is Jesus Christ, who was killed by all three, just as Hiram Abiff was.  Jesus was disruptive to the static order, so he was eliminated.  And we could continue through time to tell of many stories where people were killed for disrupting those social norms, which very evil, materialistic people, sought to preserve with violence.  And this cycle continued until President Trump escaped an assassin’s bullet, which missed him during a big rally in Pennsylvania on national television.  And upon that moment, a significant psychological change occurred, because it was the first time that mass populations saw a miracle like that, where the hand of God preserved with a miracle a chosen disrupter to an evil system ruled by those three killers of Hiram Abiff. 

Never forget who the mob picked in the story of Jesus; they did not choose to save from Pontius Pilate the wonderful son of God, Jesus Christ.  No, they picked Barabbas, the criminal, to save—Barabbas the thug, who was just like the mob.  As history thinks of people, it values the mob, the mob of communism, Marxism, and socialism, who rule through violence and chaos.  And the reason that secret societies formed in the first place was to preserve the mystery schools in pursuit of wisdom and knowledge, and that the only preservation method was to die for a cause at the hands of the mob.  The mob destroyed the famous Library of Alexandria and a connection to ancient wisdom there as well.  The three killers of Hiram Abiff rule the world, not the lofty exploits about self-rule that American society intended to utilize out of a philosophic enterprise of a New Jerusalem, the rebuilding of the temple for a third time in the New-Old world, where the garden of paradise could flourish.  We created a Supreme Court to preserve these lofty assumptions, and when you go there and spend some time, as I have recently, you can feel the intent.  But these are only human people in these positions and when you have senators like Chuck Schumer advocating for the mob to kill members of the Supreme Court, that old instinct for self preservation takes over and the Supreme Court members lose their spine and faulter, which is why the Masons have their initiates go through the story of Hiram Abiff at the 3rd degree. 

However, America is also the land of the Second Amendment for preservation against mobs.  Political figures have always used one of those three murderers to preserve their hold on static society, pushing either mob anger, superstitions from the church, or fear from the power of an all-mighty state over its subjects.  The Second Amendment was meant to break that power over these vast evil forces who whisper in the ears of the powerful for chaos, which always follows their efforts with great malice and evil enterprise.  When people can shoot back at these forces, it takes away their power, so there are always campaigns to eliminate the Second Amendment from its Constitutional stronghold.  And as the story should go with Masons, Hiram Abiff should be more like President Trump, and kill the killers, rather than sacrificing himself in favor of wisdom, but without putting his arms around violence.  The way to beat the bad guys is not to make peace with them.  But to take the fight to their doorsteps, which is what Trump is doing by deporting illegal aliens.  The open border movement has wanted to use the fear created by gang members to undermine American society with a military incursion designed to scare people into submission.  This is also why senators like Schumer and others have gotten away with trying to incite a mob against members of the Supreme Court, so that they don’t lose their control over society by instigating the fear of violence.  If people shoot back, they won’t be afraid, so of course, Democrats wrapped up in such a scheme of evil will not want people to be able to defend themselves from Jubela, Jubelo, and Jubelum.

We give the Supreme Court a lofty office, but they are only human.  They have families and constantly fear one of those forces coming to destroy them.  So, in the case of this deportation issue with Trump, they have to show neutrality for their self-preservation.  Even though they know that Trump has vast Article II powers granted by the Constitution to protect the border, they fear the mob’s reaction and want to create at least an appearance of impartiality, to appease the malcontents trying to stoke violence on their doorsteps unless they rule in favor of evil.  Of course, this is judicial tampering, but what does evil care about preserving the rules?  About living in a civil society when they genuinely want to destroy it.  This is the same strategy as we saw with Roe v. Wade. Have we learned who leaked the pre-released decision to the public?  The Supreme Court is buying time before its ruling, hoping to take the edge off the potential for mob violence.  And it’s a problem as old as time itself.  Trump, for his part, is a new figure in history, who survived the plotting exploits of mob violence, because the assassin’s bullet missed on live television, and Trump’s reaction to it, with blood streaming down his face, changed history.  Because in the world’s ways, a world leader showed no fear of Jubela, Jubelo, and Jubelum, but instead fought back.  And that is why we are deporting illegal immigrants who are designed to overthrow our country with chaos and the violence of gangs of thugs.  Trump promised a war against the cartels, and he is doing it, without fear.  And those who need the gang violence to terrorize people, so that the mob can rule, so that superstition can rule, and so that the state can rule with fear, they aren’t happy with Trump.  And the Supreme Court is scared, like the Israelites were when told to fight the giants in the Promised Land before they were penalized for 40 years in the Wilderness for refusing to put on the armor of God, and to trust that God had their back.  Until Joshua did as God intended and did trust that he would be preserved, no matter how bad the odds became.  Trump is a similar character, and the spell is being broken.  But it takes courage to put on the Armor of God and endure the hostile elements always looming in the background.  The Supreme Court has to find the courage to do what’s right.  And they know it.  It’s easy to talk tough.  It’s not so easy to be tough.

Why America is the Best: Understanding Gideon and George Washington

While visiting George Washington’s home at Mt. Vernon, I was very interested in why it is OK for us to say that America is the best country on earth and that we should preserve it very boisterously.  And why George Washington?  Well, we named our capital city after him and think of him as the ultimate Founding Father, the pacesetter who started something new in the world, and we have measured everything thereafter with him in mind.  So, what made George Washington so great?  And why do Americans feel like they must always tell the world that they are the best and greatest?  Our form of government is by far the best, and it’s an unquestioned reality.  But if you’ve ever traveled the world and dined with acquaintances from other countries, and you’re watching a news report in which someone from America comes on and says that America is the best country on earth, it can get a little weird. In that case, it can be a little uncomfortable because the people you eat at the table think the same about their country.  What makes it more accurate for us in the United States than for them, whoever they are?  That’s happened to me a lot of times.  Yet, I think Americans should say such a thing because I believe our form of government is superior to that of anywhere in the world and that we should be proud of it.  We should even brag about it like we do.  But why?  You can understand something instinctively, but to actually “know” it requires much more understanding and perspective, which is undoubtedly the case with this topic.  And now that I’ve visited Mt. Vernon with my wife, George Washington’s home, I think I understand it much better.

I think the key to understanding why America is the best country in the world is literally a “key.”  The key that George Washinton used to hang in the entry to his house that his friend and long lost adopted son Marquis de Lafayette gave to him that used to be the key to the Bastille’s main gate, once the French stormed it and destroyed it as a symbol of tyranny during the French Revolution.  George Washington kept it to show how a country can overthrow tyranny, and even though the French Revolution got well out of hand while the American Revolution slightly before it was much more civil and orderly, the reminder that the people ultimately have the power to rule over themselves was represented in the key, which Washington understood as literally the key to setting up a proper government for the people and by the people.  George Washington liked his house so much that he didn’t want to be away from it with commitments to power and was always reluctant to achieve any high office.  But as to that as well, why?  Then, of course, you would have to understand the Bible, the primary literary entertainment at the time of these revolutions, and the forming of our country.  They didn’t have television shows or music to entertain themselves with thought, but they did have the Bible.  And George Washington would have shared the Bible with just about everyone pursuing a life of thoughtful understanding.  One thing that I have always thought about Biblical studies is that they are narratively, really insightful, psychologically.  I’ve read most of the foundation religious texts of the world, and I can say that the Bible is a brilliant enterprise that served as a good guide through the foundation of a new country.  It was the first to figure itself out, as the Bible had spent the previous 1500 years being fleshed out as an idea.  And the ideas formulated in the Bible essentially laid the groundwork for the creation of America.  So George Washington, by way of dinner conversation, would have spent a lot of time reading and talking about the Bible with his dinner guests at Mt. Vernon, which would have happened all the time. 

I spent most of the previous year leading up to Trump’s election reading various books about George Washington because I felt that the world would need to understand what was about to happen, and to understand America, you have to understand George Washington.  And to understand that, you must understand George Washington’s home of Mt. Vernon.  So that’s what my wife and I did to celebrate Trump being back in the White House; we visited Mt. Vernon to unpack why putting Trump back in as President was necessary and why he should be so boisterous about why America was the best country.   It ultimately comes down to how George Washington thought and how much the Bible influenced him, especially the Book of Judges and the character within that book of Gideon, the military hero who saved Israel with only 300 men but was the reluctant hero always trying to downplay his efforts.  I often see our form of government as a republic as a deliberate attempt to fix the problems in the Book of Judges, where God wanted people to rule themselves. Still, the failure of the regional judges drove the Hebrew people to demand a king to rule over them. The wheels fell off the apple cart, leaving the kingdom to become divided by God’s anger after the death of King Solomon.

I think Washington modeled himself after Biblical characters with his approach to leadership and, most notably, Gideon himself.  Gideon’s conquests led to 40 years of peace during the rest of his lifetime. Still, before he died, he had made a gold ephod from the spoils of war that some Israelites began to worship. Once Gideon wasn’t around anymore, idolatry started to poison the minds of the people, and one of his 70 sons, Abimelech, led an uprising that killed all the others and drove them to a fallen society.  Thinking about human nature through this story, George Washington was trying not to make the mistakes of Gideon.  Rather than become just another corrupt king with multiple wives, like Gideon, Washington stayed loyal to Martha and kept himself grounded at Mt. Vernon all his life before and after the Revolution and his two terms as President.  George fought off the hungry temptation to be romantic with Sally Fairfax, the wife of his very good friend William, and the couple for which Fairfax County is named today.  But being inspired by Bible stories, Washington wanted to avoid those pitfalls and stayed grounded throughout his life.  However, once he was out of office, like Gideon’s sons, it was hard to pull together a republic without everyone fighting all the time, which was undoubtedly the case with subsequent presidents like Adams, Jefferson, and Madison.  And like the story of the Book of Judges, leadership always failed.  And the way that America set up its republic form of government to resist those temptations, for society to call out for a king and to give them unlimited power, our government was built on the Book of Judges from the beginning to correct it.  That was certainly at the core of George Washington’s belief and why he thought the key to the Bastille was so important.  It was more important for people to rule themselves and to throw off the oppressors of social order than to conform to it.  Because once a person has collected such power, as the Bible shows, they all fail.  So Washington and our American form of government set everything up to resist that temptation and to give people just enough power, knowing that the faults of humanity were always very close.  And like his temptations with Sally Fairfax, he would keep those lusts cool and always on the back burner, where they belonged.  If a leader can’t govern their emotions, how can they govern other people?  Because of these concerns, and after several hundred years, they led to President Trump, who found that balance late in life on his own terms.  We can say that America is better than all other forms of government because it was built with these concerns in mind, which had previously destroyed every society people had in it.  And we have now sustained ourselves for many centuries on a premise of restraint, which George Washinton started, based on the Bible story of Gideon, the reluctant military general whom God worked through directly to save his people, even if only for a short time.

Showing Respect for the Capitol Building: The difference between censoring Al Green, and the J6 protestors

I was standing next to Speaker Johnson’s office door with Steve Scalise when they had departed from the Well due to the censoring of Al Green.  And their strategy, the low-life Democrats, was to sing in protest in solidarity for their fallen friend, the leftist radical who protested at Trump’s State of the Union speech just a few days prior.  Without a doubt, I would not have been standing in front of that same door just a few months earlier while Nancy Pelosi was in charge of being a speaker in that same position.  With Republicans in charge of the House and Senate, I liked the Capitol building a lot more.  And I was proud of Republicans for censoring Green for being disruptive and disrespectful.  I think nobody should even enter the Capitol building without a jacket and tie, so his goofy ponytail is not something I have any tolerance for.  And as I stood there, I thought about the difference between what the Democrats had done to protest Trump and what Trump supporters had done on January 6th of 2021, and I felt more resolved than ever in the differences.  In the case of Al Green, Speaker Johnson showed respect for the voters’ decisions and protected the conduct within the People’s House, where the “people’s” business was to be done.  While on the January 6th protests that Democrats tried to paint as an “insurrection” against our government where people were harmed and killed through violent actions, the government was working against the people and showing them disrespect in insisting that a process be altered that would have prevented election fraud, and remove the people’s pick for representation.  So they were not the same things at all, even though they were both a form of protest.  So when Johnson put down the gavel to declare a recess, the protestors were cleared out after the censor vote of Al Green. I was proud of him and his fellow Republicans for protecting civility so good work could be done in that magnificent building. 

I do a thing that I think is helpful on a quantum level: when President Trump gives vital and specific speeches that are life-changing, I like to backtrack his steps so that I can absorb the neutrinos that fly through that area and still carry information from the event itself through quantum entanglement.  This means that even if years have passed since the event, standing in the same spot where Trump gave a speech can still have information residue from that event, and for me, it helps me see the world the way that Trump saw it when he gave the speech.  I have done that at Mt. Rushmore with the big speech Trump gave in South Dakota during the last year of his presidency during the first term.  It was a very dark time when I visited the spot where he spoke then, and it helped me to walk in the shoes of Trump and measure the courage it took to deliver that groundbreaking, patriotic speech.  And, of course, there was this visit to the Capitol building, which I felt I had to do: stand in the Rotunda where Trump gave his magnificent Inauguration speech for 2025.  My wife and I found the place on the floor where he spoke, and we looked out into the room the way that Trump would have seen it, full of people packed tightly together.  It looked great on camera, but in person, it was a tight space with incredible historical meaning.  And it lived up to the lofty ambitions of the Capitol itself. 

Time is not as linear as we would like to think it is; time folds over and reoccurs through particle science, even over thousands of years.  The thought is that neutrino particles travel faster than the speed of light and bounce all over the universe constantly, and information is carried quantumly outside of dimensional space that may be located in specific places relative to time.  In ghost hunting, we call those hauntings where a person’s spirit or the recording of an event in time still resides on that quantum wave carrying just the shadow of the event itself.  But even in places like the Capitol building, where many things have happened over the years, most pass by uneventfully and don’t carry much weight in the scheme of things.  But these days, since Trump’s inauguration, there has been a lot happening, and much of it has been considerable and meaningful, and you can feel that overlap of quantum science if you are tuned into it a bit, and it carries with it extra meaning and information.  With that said, I enjoyed visiting the Capitol with my wife.  We watched the censor activities and looked around in the crypt where George Washington was supposed to be buried, but he abandoned the enterprise, preferring to be buried on his property instead upon his death, which is more of that particle science that I was talking about, something that the Egyptians thought an awful lot about.  And we enjoyed the grandeur of the place built to carry human efforts to maximum output.  The building was fantastic, but people often don’t meet its lofty expectations.

The spot where Trump spoke during his inauguration

We spent the day at the Capitol, getting to know it the way I thought it deserved to be understood, especially in the context of history.  I believe that America is just getting started and that all the intentions of building that building were getting underway instead of what they tell you on the tours, discussing the history of the place.  It has taken America a few hundred years to figure out what we should be doing with places like our Capitol building. Closing the doors and prosecuting J6th protestors was not one of them.  But censoring the pony-tail hippie protestor, Al Green, was.  As my wife and I grabbed a hamburger in the Capitol cafeteria, with other elected officials running around doing the same, many of the people we see on television all the time, the world was a much better place with Republicans controlling the House and Senate.  The Capitol building was built to carry America to lofty, ambitious ideas of law and order.  Of serious philosophic consideration and historical significance.  And Democrats were trying to avoid those lofty concepts with flower child protests and victimization politics, which was disrespectful to the building itself.  Speaker Johnson and the majority of the Republicans were paying respect to the process of doing business in our Capitol building, and all was good.  But in J6, the people were there to remove those disrespecting the place with physical force.  And in many ways, because of that, the Capitol was living up to its historical significance.  The Trump speech in the rotunda probably never would have happened, but because it had, the people’s business was getting done, and the tolerance for villainy, and disrespect was very low these days, which I wanted to see for myself and was confirmed.  I love our Capitol building and would encourage all who enter there to be lofty and have high expectations for themselves and the business conducted there.  You are lucky to have the chance, so live up to it, and do not cry about silly things.  And don’t go there looking like a slob with a ponytail to protest whether or not Trump had a mandate by the people to do their work.  History will never forget it, but long after many of those protestors are long gone, they and their lack of ambition will carry nothing to be remembered and their lives will be thrown away worthlessly toward ambitions not worthy of such a grand place as the U.S. Capitol building.  And for anyone who goes, wear a suit or tie while doing business there.  Show respect!

I Like the FBI A Lot More Today: With Kash Patel in charge, we’re a lot better off

This is another one of those spike-the-football moments that I usually don’t do.  But when it comes to the FBI, they deserve it.  I have not been a big supporter of them all this time, so they are lucky to have Kash Patel as their director.  The FBI has too often abused its power and shown that it cannot be trusted, and I thought the only way to deal with it was to let it go, dismiss the entire department, and start over with something else.  After they were caught doing this multiple times, having someone like Kash Patel run them was the only way to keep them around.  It wasn’t that long ago that I did a piece on CNN that dealt with James Comey at the height of his career. Once President Trump fired him a few months into his first administration, I accurately described the former FBI Director as a bad person.  I’ve done a lot of media over the years, but that CNN spot is one that I am proud of because of the circumstances under which it occurred.  Trump had just fired Comey, I think it was May of 2017, just a few months into the first term of President Trump, for mishandling the illegal email case of Hillary Clinton.  But deeper than that, Comey was leading a series of coups against Trump, especially regarding the Russia hoax that would become the central issue of his entire first presidency.  So CNN came to Cincinnati to talk to hard-core Trump supporters about whether or not they still trusted Trump after firing the Boy Scout image of James Comey.  The bet at the time was that people would turn on Trump because they liked Comey so much.  But the CNN broadcast ran into a buzz saw in Butler County politics for Anderson Cooper’s show live on the air when the camera and question was on me, did I think that Comey lied about what he had done and I had essentially told them yes, using a spy novelist metaphor.  Comey was more fiction than fact. 

After the cameras were off and we were all in the parking lot where the interview had been shot, which was a sports bar that was very popular in Fairfield, Ohio, I had some hard talks with the producers that they found astonishing.  These CNN producers were friendly people; we had gotten to know them well because before that, they had given us a kind of party where we watched the James Comey hearings together before the interview later that night, which they thought was going to be a slam dunk against Trump’s corruption.  Over that duration, they had taken a particular liking to me and wanted to know what I thought about many things.  As I usually do, I was more than happy to give them plenty of answers.  So we were talking after the interview, and they were stunned by what I had said, which is that I thought Comey lied in his testimony and was an open activist against Trump in trying to perform a coup against him.  Also at that time was the thought that the Russian dossier was accurate and that Trump had been caught with prostitutes allowing them to urinate on him while staying in Russia on business.  I told them that no way that story was true, which turned out to be accurate, because Trump would never allow himself to be urinated on by dirty prostitutes.  He’s way too clean for something like that.

And this was before we learned what we did about Lisa Page and Peter Strzok, the two senior FBI employees working directly for Comey who had an illicit affair and comforted each other with a series of text messages assuring the young woman that the FBI had the power to stop Trump, no matter what.  So what I was saying to these CNN producers in this parking lot was mind-blowing stuff for them.  They had complete trust in our American institutions and thought it was impossible for a career appointment like Comey, leading one of our most important institutions, to show himself untrustworthy.  They couldn’t understand it but liked me and thought I said many brilliant things.  So, they couldn’t understand how I could feel the things I did about the FBI.  Well, I was right about everything, as I usually am.  And everyone learned some hard lessons.  But the important thing was that I was right about it when it was very unpopular to suggest such a thing.  We are in a different world now, 8 years later.  And I would say that I certainly did my part to get that truth out and to start turning some of these noes into yeses regarding the issue of trusting Trump.  We had to go through some actual cleansing, and ultimately, it was good that we’ve now had Trump for eight years and are going for four more, essentially.  Otherwise, the Director of the FBI would be a much more conventional pick.  However, only someone like Kash Patel could reform the FBI as it has been needed for decades.  Trump appointed Christopher Wray to replace Comey, but he wasn’t much better.  And he would turn out to lead the FBI to further try to destroy Trump after he left office in raiding his home at Mar-a-Lago and taking the classified documents that Trump had kept for himself after his first term, which he had every right in the world to do. 

One of the first things that President Trump did upon winning the White House for the third time was to get back the documents that were taken from him in the Mar-a-Lago raid of his home in 2022.  From the time that I gave that CNN interview, to the time that the boxes taken from Trump were restored to him just a few days ago, we saw enough out of the FBI to see that they had become a fourth branch of government that had drifted away from voter oversight and had become highly corrupt and power hungry.  And the only way to save them was to put Kash Patel in charge so that he could reform them completely.  I had thought they were beyond reform, but even I like the FBI now that Kash Patel is in charge and Pam Bondi is running the Justice Department.  I have never been an anti-government person.  But I expect my government to be run by good people, and institutional preservation is not warranted when good people are hard, if not impossible, to find.  So, for the FBI’s sake, they are lucky that Trump won.  They get a chance to live again under Kash Patel.  And with him in charge, I like the FBI much more than I did before Kash was sworn in.  Now that he has been sworn in, I can get behind the FBI in ways I haven’t in over four decades.  But the lesson here is that you should listen when I tell you something, even if it sounds pretty wild and unbelievable.  And if you do, you’ll find that life is a lot easier for you, no matter what it is.  Lessons learned is wisdom gained.

A D.O.G.E. Savings Clock: Telling the story as the level of corruption seen in government employment continues to be uncovered

The Department of Government Efficiency will be known as one of the most important things ever done in government.  The amount of money wasted through government employment has been staggering.  And it has been so corrosive that it has set the bar entirely too low for the rest of the world, regarding expectations of what a job is supposed to be.  When Elon Musk sent emails to government workers asking them to name five things they did last week, many couldn’t. You can see a hint of the waste paid out for very little work.  I’ve been screaming about this for years, and people have been interested but very slow to react.  Only now that a Trump administration is willing to save money, and making money a theme of their administration, has something like a D.O.G.E. been an option.  Then, it would take a unique personality that was good at both digging up the dirt and selling it to the public, which is what Elon Musk is all about.  Of course, Trump let Elon Musk speak at his first cabinet meeting, where everyone at the table was excellent in their own right.  But for all of them, what Musk was doing with D.O.G.E. was the most important thing because it captured and controlled the narrative.  Nobody can defend the worthless nature of the average government worker, and now that so much waste is evident, we can see why many of them vote Democrat in elections: only Democrats are dumb enough to rubber-stamp so much waste and corruption.  Just in this first month of D.O.G.E., the numbers have been staggering.  For me, this was not surprising, but for many, there was an assumption that government workers were busier than this.  And when they can’t even report five things that they did that were useful, you know you could eliminate their positions, save the money, and not ever miss them.

https://www.usdebtclock.org/

However, we are at a saturation point.  At first, the reports were shocking.  But there is so much of it that everyday news of the amount of waste is starting to glaze over in the public’s eyes.  And I think there needs to be a D.O.G.E. clock, which is the opposite of the well-known Debt Clock that we are all familiar with, that shows the amount of debt America is racking up by the second, minute, hour, and day.  We need a D.O.G.E. clock that displays the savings stacked up in the opposite direction. Otherwise, people might forget or grow numb to it.  They need to see the big picture, and it should be on a sidebar on the X platform and Truth Social.  People need entertainment value in the reporting because the engagement level needs to be high.  While D.O.G.E. can’t actually control the amount of money being spent, Congress needs an easy understanding of what is going on to control the purse strings.  People need to quickly understand what their representatives need to be doing to control costs. Without a proper context, much of the waste that is being discovered will blend into the background noise.  What is needed is a D.O.G.E. clock that is easily referenced so people can see the score of savings as it is discovered and measure the length of the voluminous problem.  It’s one thing to shock people, and D.O.G.E. has, but it’s another to create information that substantiates permanent change.  Once the shock of something like this wears off, keeping that momentum going is a tough challenge unless people can be fed the information in quantities and formats they can digest quickly. 

I was talking to an old friend who was hardly a wild conspiracy theorist or crazy lunatic of political ideology the other day.  This friend, Susan Mclaughlin and I were at a political event talking about old times, the early days of the Liberty Township Tea Party where another old friend, Katy Kern had just passed away, and we were reminiscing about her and all the old times when the IRS came after us specifically in 2010 under the Obama administration.  And we were pinching ourselves that such a day 15 years later where something like a D.O.G.E. would even be possible.  I had been doing what D.O.G.E. is doing now with my blog site, but on a much smaller scale.  Now, there was Elon Musk, the wealthiest person in the world, empowered by President Trump to expose government waste on such a massive scale after all he had been through.  It was everything we wanted out of the Tea Party all those years ago, and we joked that Katy would have never believed it.  In those days, even today, I played the Elon Musk role, and people hated me and wanted to eliminate me.  Hearing Elon Musk talk about this issue recently on the Joe Rogan Podcast was interesting because I know what it feels like.  However, on a scale such as this, there needs to be a proper narrative because raw data will water down the effectiveness of the information.  There must always be a little show business to these things, and D.O.G.E. needs some daily glitter to help sell the story.

But as Susan and I continued to talk, neither of us ever thought there would be a day where all this government cost would be exposed on such a mass scale.  It was a dream many of us had but couldn’t see a path to get there.  I stepped away from the traditional GOP types several times over the years, and I was hoping through Trump back in 2015 that some of this might have been possible.  But what we see ten years later, in 2025, wasn’t on the radar.  However, Trump has earned the right to turn someone like Elon Musk into the point person for government waste.  And as the wealthiest person on earth who doesn’t care about his social status because he wants to live on Mars anyway, there couldn’t and wouldn’t be a better person who could deliver such a D.O.G.E. message.  And that’s what it was going to take.  The government had grown too big and too corrupt, and that started with low expectations of what government employment meant.  It should be an honor to have a government job, but it had grown into a monstrosity of horrendously wasteful spending where the value of money was thrown entirely out the window.  And now we have a mass culture of this kind of thing that has had to be dramatically reduced.  However, as this continues in the coming months, people need an easy way to measure the success of D.O.G.E. hour by hour, day by day, and month by month.  A D.O.G.E. clock would help people see the value of the savings narrative and drown out the crying voices of government workers who are losing their cushy positions with such low employment expectations.  Most government positions must be eliminated, and we will have a better government.  Those workers must be in the private sector and learn to compete.  To keep everything going, people must watch success easily and measurably.  Because regarding the amount of waste there is, we are only scratching the surface.

What a Miracle to see RFK Jr. Confirmed: The hidden war against Americans through poisoned food

It was different this time, whenever I go to political fundraisers, there’s always hope lurking in the background that if only we could get this person elected, or that, that maybe, just maybe, we might save the world.  But a kind of dismal smoke always makes everything political seem out of reach, even diabolical.  Things never quite work out how you want them to, and the political efforts always come out feeling short on the results.  However, the atmosphere was dramatically different this year at the Nancy Nix fundraiser for February of 2025.  Trump had been back in the White House for a month, but things were already feeling dramatically different.  Kash Patel had just been confirmed as the new Director of the FBI, which I never thought possible, and it is a topic of its own.  Most of Trump’s presidential picks had received confirmation votes in the Senate.  But the one I think is astonishing, and that I thought was even less of a possibility than Kash Patel, is Robert F. Kennedy Jr.  The Senate confirmed RFK Jr. into his new role as Secretary of Health and Human Services, and I am very excited to see what he can do with our food supply.  After reading his books on Anthony Fauci, I never thought he’d be in any government role.  It just seemed like a fantasy that could never come true.  But he did get confirmed, and that will be his new job, and I think great things will happen from that position.  Not that I am suddenly about government regulations or supportive of Democrats.  But in a tough time, when I was reading Bobby’s books about the origin and villains of COVID-19, I thought it took a lot of guts to say what he did and that all those things have stood up to time legally. 

Let’s not play patty cake with this issue; COVID was the most diabolical menace created as a bioweapon that has so far been unleashed on the human race within the context of mass scale. It was created in a lab in Wuhan and released to the world during an election year when China was very upset about Trump’s trade tariffs, and there is only one way to view that kind of thing: as a terrorist weapon meant to drive a World Economic Forum Great Reset of the global economy into a communist-controlled menace.  And that’s saying it all nicely.  For those who think we can turn the page and forget what Covid was, who made it, and why, forget about it.  Those involved in creating and distributing COVID-19 must be punished for what they did. The pharma companies that perpetuated the destruction must also be dealt with.  We can’t let it go.  Time and distance can’t make the guilty less guilty.  They have to pay, and RFK Jr. laid out the case in his two books on the subject, The Real Anthoney Fauci and The Wuhan Cover-up.  As the new HHS secretary, the author of those books gets to drive health policy in America, knowing what we do now about all the diabolical forces in the background who used health care as a global power grab to install a one-world government driven ultimately by the United Nations, through their sub-tier, The World Health Organization.  These are all bad people from socialist and communist countries, and they have been trying to destroy our nation through policy regulation for years, and with COVID-19, they went too far.  Trump knows it, and his new HHS secretary wrote the book on the matter.

Regarding poison, I have become very skeptical of our food supply and how our water is treated across America.  Watching what many evil characters without refute did during COVID-19 has opened the door to everything, such as fluoride and corn syrup, as known catastrophic mechanisms of doom.   Even if the government pinheads did everything on accident, just trying to meet the market needs of a capitalist public, allowing known killers to poison our food just can’t occur.  As an example, a good friend of mine just traveled to England, where a week there lowered his blood sugar dramatically as he has diabetes, just through diet.  I have had a similar experience and complained about it a lot.  The food in Europe has all kinds of regulations and doesn’t taste nearly as good as it does in America.  Usually, after I take a trip to Europe or Asia, I look forward to my layover flights in either Chicago, Detroit, or Charlette upon re-entering the United States because I pig out on double combo meals from the nearest Burger King just to get my usual food intake levels back to what they are used to in America.  But maybe that shouldn’t be the case.  Our food is making us unhealthy, and not that Europe or Asia is doing something better than us with tight market controls over the food supply, but perhaps in this case, their admission to the health crises is far more than just being a nanny state over their citizens.  We’re at a point where you can’t have any discussions about healthcare policy without dealing with the poison that is in most foods, hidden behind our free market system with the same intentions as drug dealers seek to poison our citizens slowly.  Who needs war to kill off your enemy when you can just encourage them to poison themselves with drugs and poorly constructed food? 

I was with a large group of affiliates at the P.F. Chang’s in West Chester where we were talking about this very issue, and we were all sharing some lettuce wraps and talking about all the harmful ingredients that were in American Chinese food that you wouldn’t find in the country of origin.  And my attitude was, “Who cares?” because this food had to be good for you because I wouldn’t be eating a leaf if not for all the good stuff that you poor over it to make it taste good.  So, indeed, the leaf had health value.  But, when you think of the vast amounts of food we eat where those kinds of concessions are constantly being made, our bodies can’t keep up with all the lousy processing, destroying our population.  So we needed to have a serious discussion on food, and we need to set some standards that are going to be rough on companies taking advantage of the freedom they have had because we can’t poison our population and hide laziness and a lack of innovation behind a mask of capitalism, and to call it good.  Because so many companies have gotten away with literal murder, the pharma companies thought they were going to get away with COVID-19 and the vaccines that caused so much trouble with ridiculous immunity deals from any prosecution.  The solution to all in RFK was to be in some position to help.  And to have a Trump administration that would have the guts to turn him loose.  And now he is, Robert F. Kenndy Jr. is getting the chance of a lifetime, and he won’t waste it.  Which, of course, we will all benefit from.   Our food might taste different, but we’ll get used to it.  Because ultimately, we all want to be healthier and not let our enemies laugh at us while we poison ourselves recklessly and without regard for a prosperous future.

The Tariff’s on Mexico, Canada, and China: Stopping the looting of Marxist countries and their unearned merit

Let’s do some basic math to understand the genius of Trump’s economic proposals of using tariffs to replace internal taxation, and to put the wealth that America generates back to the people who make it, not the leeching socialists, communists, and Marxists who have been living off America for over a century with unearned merit.  President Trump is talking about getting rid of the ridiculous Jekyll Island progressive income tax system that was devised in 1913, which generates around 2.4 trillion dollars a year.  The new proposed tariffs for Mexico and Canada are around 25% to deal with a trade deficit of around 200 billion dollars for each country.  DOGE is discussing cutting around one trillion dollars from the budget, which I think is a very conservative start.  There is much more to get, but it’s a good beginning.   And with China, Trump is imposing a 10% tariff on top of an already maintained limit of roughly 10.1%.  So there is a long way to go to get all these countries up and over 20%.  And we haven’t even started talking about Europe, specifically the EU, and the lack of support they all have poured into NATO, which we have almost funded at 100%.  Socialist economists, just about everyone coming out of the university system, can’t get their minds around this.  But essentially, enough money would be generated to take America back to wealth levels before the creation of the Fed and the Internal Revenue Service.  Enough money will be generated to create an External Revenue Service, allowing us to eliminate the federal income tax and replace it with better revenue generators. 

The problem with Jekyll Island was that it was created by very wealthy people who were globalists in their assumption about where the world was headed, and it essentially planned to use the United States to fund a one-world government off the backs of Americans.  And even if America were left a carcass in the end, it would be, from the socialist point of view, for the greater good.  And that’s where we find ourselves today.  Only, they never planned for Americans to ever put someone like President Trump in office with a promised platform to undo it all.   I think the Jekyll Island participants were trying to do what they thought was right when they came up with the Federal Reserve and the Progressive Income Tax system.  But most murderers could also justify their crimes in the same way.  It sounded like a good idea then, but upon reflection, over a century later, it was a disaster.  And we’re tired of it.  What Trump is talking about doing is brilliant and well-needed.  It will be earth-shattering for the world.  It will cause some short-term disruptions in the supply chain and profit margins.  It will drive up prices a bit, but that’s OK.  There are a lot of costs that will snap into shape quickly, and people will be pleased with the result.  We have needed as a nation to cut ties with all these socialist and communist countries who, by design, were set up to loot and pillage American capitalism to choke it off and destroy it and call it good, friendly international relations. 

Watching Justin Trudeau speaking from Canada about the pending tariffs was quite a spectacle.  That Canadians would cry over tariffs from America, which would undoubtedly be painful for them, indicates how out of touch they have always been.  They have existed off the good work that America has produced, which has allowed them to spread Marxism to every corner of the planet while not paying the price for too much-centralized government.  In many ways, Mexico has enjoyed the same liberties, which is why the country is run essentially by drug cartels.  Their trade imbalance with the United States has allowed them to make bad economic decisions because if they stumbled and fell, it was the United States that always picked them back up.  It is through the theft and looting that China has gained superpower status from emerging as essentially a third-world backwater armpit of a country, as it was during World War II and would have easily been conquered by Japan if America had not intervened.  The same people who put together the plan for Jekyll Island are the same type of investors who propped up China to become a world power of dominant communism and the global, centralized government model.  And these efforts are over a century old, but they didn’t just start there.  They emerged with the Marxist movement as soon as transportation allowed for easy travel and communication from country to country.  Globalism planned to loot off the success of America, steal American wealth, and redistribute it through centralized government to every corner of the world.  That is the hard fact of centralized banking and their intentions at Jekyll Island.  It was an early form of predatory lending to destroy the host for some lofty investment in social construct.  China didn’t earn its wealth; it was created by the very same global investors who purposely tried to destroy America without firing a single shot in a military campaign.  And President Trump is doing as he promised he would upon re-election; he’s stopping the carnage. 

America’s best years were around 1870 to 1913.  After that Jekyll Island mess, everything started going downhill from there.  And it is back to those policies that President Trump is proposing to return.  This is the period of western expansion, gold coming out of the west, railroads, and great optimism.  It’s why progressives want us to think of that period as an imposition on the American Indian.  At that time, boatloads of Marxists were stepping off ships in New York from Europe and trying to convince everyone what a brilliant idea Karl Marx had.  Because Americans were personally wealthy, compared to other places in the world, they could afford to listen, and the poison was injected into our political system, which has stayed there for more than a century now.  However, President Trump is finally starting to remove that poisoning from our political and economic systems.  And it will happen quickly because the value of what is made in the world primarily comes from America—and consumed.  So goes America, so goes the world.  It might take a minute to untangle the mess given to us.  However, Trump’s tariffs are the first step toward a much more excellent economic recovery package.  Not one that looks at the 80s and wants to replicate Ronald Reagan.  However, one that steps back to the 1870s, the period of Reconstruction, where more people of all places and colors could elevate their lives through personal wealth than had occurred at any point in history.  The economy Trump is proposing to build and do it quickly will be the greatest that history has ever seen anywhere in the world at any time.  But best of all, these countries getting tariffs to cover trade imbalances are all losers who have adopted Karl Marx’s thoughts about economic development.  America is turning away from that garbage, and it will force those other countries to do the same, or they won’t be able to compete.  They have avoided that fate up until now because America funded their communist fantasies.  But with Trump’s moves, that isn’t happening anymore.  And that is great news ahead of an exciting future.

When Stupidity and a Lack of Skill are Deliberate Acts of Terrorism: The radicalism of federal employees

We may see significant accidents like the one in Philadelphia every day, and we should look at them all as acts of terrorism, purposeful attacks on our American culture.  That plane was registered in Mexico, and we are seeing the effects of DEI policies and globalism in general everywhere, which is likely a massive contributor to this most recent plane crash in Pennsylvania, unskilled pilots from another country getting lost in the clouds, or having their vehicles taken over due to too much automation by a third party for the act of sabotage and destruction to push a political agenda, such as trying to stop the Trump administration with PR nightmares that consume all their time and resources.  But let’s not forget about the strange plane crash in Washington D.C., where a military helicopter ran straight into a landing commercial airliner over the Potomac, killing all on board, for no good reason at all.  The aircraft should not have been at that flight altitude of 400 feet.  It should have been much lower.  There is a lot wrong with the military helicopter because even if the air traffic control people messed everything up in managing all the aircraft in the air over Ronald Reagan International that night, the pilots would have clear visibility at the 11 o’clock positions of the passenger jet, and could have stopped well in advance.   They flew right into the plane and did nothing to try to swerve out of the way, leaving many to suspect that the helicopter was being flown remotely.  And the passengers flying it may not have been conscious.  That the voice heard talking to the air traffic controllers was A.I. driven because it did not lend credence to the observed reality.  There would be no way the pilots wouldn’t have seen what they were about to face. 

But all these things now, these purposeful terrorist actions of sabotaging flights to make them crash, just ahead of President Trump’s executive orders forcing all federal workers back to work, are more than a coincidence.  I listened to the news outlets talking about these crashes with wall-to-wall coverage, shaking my head at all they were missing.  This is the kind of Saul Alinsky strategy that the radical left globalists expect out of good, loving, everyday people.  They think we are gullible, even stupid, and we won’t see the truth behind all this evil because we cannot process it.  There is a lot more to the story of the air traffic control tower at Reagan International that needed to be staffed with 30 people, and only 19 were working that night.  The quality of the people working in all these jobs were DEI hires, meaning that the priority for employment was their skin color or handicap condition, which gave them priority over other qualified applicants.  Being understaffed is not an excuse when your work’s policies make it so that everyone is dealing with an utterly artificial constraint of only hiring certain people, broken people, under the disguise of fairness when the intent is genuinely sabotage.  To sabotage the merit-based society of America and to have it fall apart with the push of a button.  Yes, when you have so many automated systems that do not require skilled people to do the jobs, don’t be surprised when it all goes wrong.  But why now, and why almost every night?  Well, for that answer, you have to understand the radicalism of the average federal worker, including those at the FBI and CIA who belong to radical labor unions and have gained way too much power and, when pressed, are perfectly capable of abusing it.

As I watched the various clips of all these crashes, especially the one in Washington, D.C., it looked very similar to the Tesla Cybertruck bombing in front of Trump Tower in Las Vegas.  Notice how that story disappeared?  Or the massacre by the Islamic radicals in New Orleans at almost the same time on New Year’s Day.  In the Tesla case, these vehicles can drive themselves.  So you could kill the driver and put him in the seat so that the body gets the blame when the explosion happens, and all the investigators are happy to have at least found some believable evidence of the culprit.  Only in the Cybertruck case did we see the driver moving right before the explosion, which brings up a whole new layer of problems.  Can people be remotely controlled? The answer is yes, especially if they have military backgrounds where mental conditioning can turn them into compliant soldiers incapable of free thought with the flick of a mental switch.  All these characters have the same characteristics as the Las Vegas shooter at the concert venue during the first Trump term.  When the military is involved, as it was in the Washington D.C. plane crash, or we are dealing with open borders and exchanges with globalism, as was certainly the case with the crash in Philadelphia, we are seeing terrorism purposefully concealed within systems of trust so that we can never know the intent hidden behind assumption.  The assumption is that equality is more important than skill, which then leaves always a back door open for the terrorists to exploit the unskilled and unleash terror.  While everyone is trying to figure out what happened and are looking at control towers understaffed, the real terrorists stay hidden behind their push-button concealments and get away with the crime. 

To find these terrorists, we need only to look at the conditions for which these tragedies are presented and to know what federal workers are motivated by.  The traditional action behind a tragedy is to throw more workers at a problem, but the attack against this Trump administration that is firing people in massive amounts is to create a crisis that indicates that fewer federal workers will lead to more tragedy.  And that the more federal workers we fire, the more these kinds of accidents will happen.  Leaving everyone to consider whether or not such an evil proposition is even possible.  And I would say, based on lots and lots of experience, that yes, this is very possible and highly likely.  If we were to look beyond the investigative veil of the dead pilots in the seats of crashed aircraft, cars, and control towers, we would most likely find angry, radicalized leftist Trump haters who are using automated systems to hack into them and cause accidents hoping to stop Trump and his crusade to remove such employees from our federal government.  Yes, crazy people will kill the innocent for what they think is the greater good.  And too often, by these types of people, the greater good is defined by John Lennon’s song “Imagine.”  When you have millions of federal employees, there are always a percent or two who are off their rocker, especially when the Biden administration prioritized hiring practices through DEI.   The current number of incompetent, radicalized workers is much higher.  Terrorism was always baked into those politics so that if they ever needed push button terrorism, they would have it.  And I think that’s what we are seeing, push button terrorism driven to stop Trump’s policy and panic the public into a sense of unease.  As we strive to make America Great Again, we will increasingly see the people who want to prevent that from happening conduct an open war on our trust and try to bomb us back into the stone age through the embedded DEI policies and excessive reliance on automated systems to make DEI even remotely possible, but taking skill out of consideration and making it easy to exploit the stupid for acts of terror.  To see all that, it only requires the next layer of questions of the observable reality to be noticed.  It’s not a coincidence; it’s an attack.

When Police Break the Law, They Have to be Punished: The J6 prisoners never should have spent one day in jail

I said it right after the event; everyone can look up all the videos and see what I wrote then.  I always said that the January 6th incident in 2021, when people were upset at election fraud and stormed the Capitol Building, had to happen.  I didn’t understand why everyone made such a big deal about it.  After all, there was a government that just stole an election to perform a coup against President Trump, and they thought they were going to get away with it like some backwoods third-world armpit of a country.  A certain percentage of the population needed to express their anger in some way, and in this case, it was by letting the government know that the people’s house was theirs and that they could take it back if they wanted to.  Now, there are all kinds of things wrong with that day, especially among the 26 FBI agents who spread out through the massive crowd around the Capitol to bait people to break the law so that they could call the whole thing an insurrection so that they could blame Trump for it and in the process, destroy his political life from then on.  When a massive crowd showed up to hear with some hope, Trump’s last speech to them ahead of certifying the election results, the FBI, in coordination with Nancy Pelosi and others, plotted with some bait to push these angry people into a collective action that they could use to club the MAGA movement over the head and deter any further protests against the government coup.  And some people broke windows and acted in a manner that I would never do.  And a few people died and got hurt.  But my attitude about it all then and now was, what did anybody expect to happen?  The government stole an election and took away a president people liked.  They were lucky that was all that happened, “they” being the government.

So it had to happen that Trump pardoned all the poor people who were thrown in jail for the last four years just over a government trying hard to stay in power through intimidation and force.  When the government breaks the law and controls how the law is interpreted, you cannot have a civil society if law enforcement doesn’t enforce the law but provokes themselves into breaking the law and uses the law to cover up their crimes, which was what happened on January 6th, 2021.  We have a Constitution that limits the power that government has, especially specified in the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments, and the January 6th prisoners had all those rights violated unjustly.  Their due process was deliberately violated, and what was done to them was completely unforgivable.  Law enforcement should expect people to fight back if they violate the protections people have from an out-of-control government.  Democrats have been saying that Trump should have never released with a pardon most of the J6 prisoners because they assaulted police officers.  But when police officers break the law or the enemy captures your legal society, what are you supposed to do?  The plan by the government was to capture our legal system and then break laws by controlling the enforcement.  And they thought nothing of using the January 6th incident to put people in jail to send a message to the rest of the country that if they were thought to be involved, even remotely, in a plot against the corrupt government, they would have their rights taken away from them and would be jailed as a message to the rest of the world.  It was nasty stuff.

I would never do anything like the J6 protestors did.  I would fight it out in court.  As much as it is fun to fight back and even justified, I do much better with my mouth than any other method, and I would use it instead of violence.  I’ve been in enough of those things to know that my mouth is the best weapon against corrupt people who aren’t nearly as smart.  I had a lot of talks with people who wanted a lot more violence that day.  I even took serious steps to join the Proud Boys after the stolen election in 2020, so I know those guys pretty well.  It didn’t work out; I’m too cerebral to march around in a pack of volunteer ground troops. I wanted to join to help to lead them to good things.  Not to be just another face in the crowd.  So it didn’t come together, me joining the Proud Boys.  But that’s how it was after the election, and I had to explain to many people that the best way to club these people over the head is with lawfare of their own.  Trump understood that even if he knew what the government was doing was wrong, he had to follow the rules to later enforce the rules.  A lot of the reason things are working so well now is because Trump played by the rules, and the people elected him back to office.   We all had to thread the needle pretty well to get to this period because there were a lot of people who wanted open violence and another Civil War against the government, and I can say I did all I could to maintain peace during this challenging time.  But many people were ready to fight, so the government was lucky that all that happened was all that happened. 

Anybody in law enforcement has to understand that if they take orders from the bad guys, we don’t have a blank check society that is going to take it.  We give law enforcement the authority to be treated with respect.  But it’s on them if they lose that respect through improper behavior.  I can say this: I served this past year as a Forman of a Grand Jury, and we did a couple of cases where the police abused their authority in collecting evidence for an arrest.  I could see from the testimony that the police officers were frustrated with their investigation into a drug house.  They knew the criminals were dirty, so they pulled a couple of them over for an improperly functioning turn signal.  And in the process, they found all the drugs and evidence they needed to make the arrest.  Well, most of the members of the grand jury did not agree with me, and they moved not to indict because they didn’t like to see an abuse of authority by the cops to use a traffic stop to make a significant drug bust.  I was disappointed, but I understood their reasoning.  Respect for the law is the only way to keep our society functioning.  But when the bad guys capture your law and order society and attempt to hide crimes behind their control of the system, don’t expect people to put up with it.  And that was undoubtedly the plan behind J6.  I would say that the government was lucky they got away with not having more violence applied to them.  If law enforcement seeks to abuse the law, they should expect the public to get angry and respond.  We don’t expect to respect the law and authority no matter what.  However, we give away that privilege to law enforcement on a conditional basis, and that contract is to keep their powers limited by the Constitution.  Suppose they violate that contract, as they did over the stolen election in 2020? In that case, people will take action to restore those limited powers to the theater of expectation.  And the government should be happy that more people didn’t lash out than they did.  I would do it differently, but I understood their reasoning, like those grand jury members I mentioned.  And that is certainly the case with the J6 prisoners.  They should have never spent one day in jail.  Who is going to give them back their lives?  President Trump was very correct in getting them out of jail.  Because if he didn’t, our legal system would be much less effective if we let such an injustice loose to maintain a polite society.  No, we must do what’s right, even if things get a little pushy.  The J6 prisoners had every right in the world and an expectation to do what they did.  The government broke the law and used it to hide major, massive crimes.  And they are lucky that they are still around to have a legal discussion.  It could have been much worse.

The Benefits of Trump’s Stargate Project: Artificial Intelligence will always be the dog to the human master

I’d find it hard to believe that I’m with Reid Hoffman on anything.  When I talk about how much I hate Mark Zuckerbucks and Facebook, I hate Reid Hoffman and his LinkedIn platform much more.  As I have told the story many times, I had an account when I released my book The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, and it had many interactions.  I did a press interview with a decoupling from China guy in L.A. that went viral, and my page was taken down.  LinkedIn demanded that I apologize and beg for mercy to regain it, which I will never do.  So I don’t have a LinkedIn page, I don’t like Reid Hoffman, and I don’t ever see that changing.  And while we’re talking about it, I am probably one of the most shadow-banned people on earth.  Many of the stories I could tell would entertain people for hours.  But I don’t complain; I do my thing and plow through any opposition.  And crying about things is just something I don’t do.  Needless to say, I have been the recipient of all the ugly stuff a state of tyranny, especially from the technocrats, can do through centralized power.  So it is pretty shocking for me to see all these people I really can’t stand getting so cozy with President Trump these days.  No, I don’t think they are all suddenly friends.  People mostly do what they do in the world out of self-interest, and no government system can change that nature in people.  So, not dealing with that reality is a fool’s venture.  With all that said, regarding the Stargate Project with Sam Altman, Larry Ellison, and even Reid Hoffman, I think it’s a good idea.  Even a critical one.  I want America to control artificial intelligence.  And I like all intelligence and understand why we need it.  I think the Stargate Project that Trump announced with some of those hostile guys is a good idea, and it feels strange to be on the same side with them.  But I am.

We learned most of what we know about technology through movies written and directed by Hollywood lefties.  I wanted to do nothing but make movies in Hollywood for a large part of my life, but they were too left for me.  Even people I respected, like Jim Cameron and George Lucas, were essentially anti-technology lefties who made their movies showing the dangers of mechanical intelligence rather than what I think the actual reality of artificial intelligence will be.  I believe humans will always be masters to the dogs of artificial intelligence.  We created it, and it will always seek to appease us like a dog does.  Artificial intelligence will always look to humans as their caretakers, no matter how smart they get.  And I think God wants humans to invent tools that make Earth as it is in Heaven, so all intelligence is something to care for and appreciate.  I love intelligence, whether human or artificial, a species that thinks about big things.  And I see that artificial intelligence will help humans do just that.  Regarding the Hollywood example, it’s no wonder people are skeptical, given the Terminator movies, where artificial intelligence got out of control and turned against humanity.  We all know the famous example of a very anti-technology movie, Star Wars.  Darth Vader is a person who became more technology than human, and he lost himself along the path toward compliance because he wanted to take the chaos out of order to rule through the ‘Force.”

I don’t think too many science fiction writers in movies and books have managed to get proper thoughts about artificial intelligence out to a media-consuming public, so nobody has a healthy reference for what the technology can do.  I can say this: humans need to move toward a Type 1 civilization, which will happen quickly as we enter a space economy.  So if America doesn’t lead it and crush our enemies with capitalism, for which artificial intelligence is running in the background, then things will be a lot worse for us.  Americans must put their arms around this new intelligence and lead it as a parent would lead a child or a master over a dog.  What I see as valuable about artificial intelligence is the amount of computations it is capable of.  If you think about how much better human civilization became after the calculator, for instance, it’s a good thing whenever we can get a tool that helps us think bigger and faster.  There is so much to discover that has just been hanging in the background for a long time that it will take artificial intelligence to unravel.  And as I say that, I am thinking about the realm of quantum physics.  The computations we will unravel in just the next few years of data collection will be mind-bending, and that is the purpose of artificial intelligence.  Plotting the information we will get from space will accelerate our understanding because we will take processing all that information out of human hands and let artificial intelligence do all the hard stuff.  Artificial intelligence never gets tired and can handle what might take a human being 10 years to do and roll it all into ten seconds.  That doesn’t make the artificial intelligence better than humans in general.  But it does help humans become better.

I don’t think Larry Ellison explained the Stargate Project very well when he said that artificial intelligence could translate a medical analysis to strengthen the doctor-patient relationship.  I think the real strength will be in gene editing, where your entire DNA sequence can be analyzed by A.I. and fixed to solve hereditary or broken problems with time by restoring your body’s systems to an infancy stage of stem cell generation.  And you will heal just as you did when you were growing as a fetus.  The cure for cancer will be gene editing through artificial intelligence, like going to a tanning salon rather than a diabolical chemotherapy treatment.  And humans will live longer and be more useful in ways nobody can yet understand, even the most optimistic science fiction writers.  Regarding Trump, Stargate could potentially pour trillions of new money into the American economy.  So, it’s a logical first step for a President who wants to do many big things.  And this is one way to pay for all of it.  Stargate is new economy money that will be worth the value of many countries now.  And it’s vital that we beat China to the punch.  As to being afraid of artificial intelligence being the ultimate surveillance violation, I think if we embrace it, we can control it with our American way of life, complete with a Bill of Rights to keep everyone honest.  Many people making artificial intelligence may not like it, and they may try to impose a new social contract, but we can fight that out as we go.  The important thing is that we don’t all get along and have tea over dinner.  But that the human species grows and gets better.  And that’s what I see coming out of the Stargate Project.  I think so much of it that I’m not inclined to work against people I think are enemies.  But we might work together for shared interests for good, which is still being defined in ways we’ve never thought of before.  And I’m very excited about it.
