The Strategy of Making People Look Crazy: Or to drive them crazy in the process

There’s another arraignment at 9 AM on December 18th for Darbi Boddy, just for going to Lakota school board meetings as an elected representative.  You can see how ridiculous the case against her has been by Judge Lyon’s recent filing, trying to drive the point further for his client Isaac Adi from any public criticism, which is utterly ridiculous.  The first arraignment was to have occurred just after Thanksgiving 2023, but the judge, as all judges in Butler County, would have to because of the power of Isaac’s attorney, who is a long-standing common pleas judge, had to be delayed.  The Ohio Supreme Court then had to appoint a neutral judge.  So, of course, we are dealing with legal gymnastics that assumes that an abuse of legal authority comes by hiring a judge to process a case in which we are to believe that Darbi Boddy is such a threat to the Lakota school board that Isaac is terrified and is seeking help from the courts.  As ridiculous as all that is, Darbi is facing a potential of 6 months in jail and in the thousands of dollars in fines, not to mention the extraordinary legal fees.  Darbi’s first attorney has stepped aside and now there is a new one as this case continues to drag on for what would appear to be frivolous reasons on the surface.  But I’ve seen this tactic before, and it has a deeper meaning, as dumb as that reason might be.  It’s a strategy I have seen happen to men and women over many decades, primarily women.  I’m surprised Judge Lyons would participate as he has spent time around me and shown interest in constitutional individualism.  But then again, there are many like him over the years who have simply wanted to fit in, and in the dark places of their minds, resent individualists like Darbi Boddy so much, that they turn to the mechanisms of collectivism to exert a social control that drew them to the acquisition of power in the first place. 

There is nothing about the Darbi Boddy case that is legally correct, it’s a clear abuse of authority that started with attorneys for Lakota schools pulling the strings behind the scenes to get rid of Darbi as a school board member, for lots of reasons.  Most involve having a puppet school board easily controlled for upcoming labor negotiations with the teacher’s union.  Darbi, like President Trump, is a threat to that old order. Her prosecution is a clear message not to mess with these public unions, judges’ networks of brotherhoods, and bar associations.  There is a reason that weak people seek comfort in brotherhoods; it’s for the power they feel they can only get from group assimilation.  So what we have going on all over the country, especially at Lakota schools, is individualism against collectivism and the merits of those philosophies to public government.  But this didn’t all start with Darbi in 2023; this action against her is a common strategy and has occurred frequently over the years. It has occurred in over 20 women I have known.  Many started just like Darbi Boddy, young and in their 40s, raising children, attending church, finding the world’s evils repugnant, and wanting to do something about it.  But in the process of the fight against that system, the common strategy of collectively based villainous characters is to attempt to capture the definition of sanity and use it to make their opponents look insane or to drive them insane with the audacity of evil that is presented to them.  So far, Darbi Boddy has held up well over the last few years.  But adding all this up over a decade or two takes its toll, and the results are usually terrible.

I don’t think she would mind, but I normally keep these things quiet; I would call Judge Edelsten a friend, she is the person who had trouble in the Butler County courts that involved lots of legal issues with many of the same judges that are involved in the Darbi Boddy case, which is why she comes to my mind.  And she won her cases, just as Darbi should win all of hers.  But the cost to her has been enormous, and the system participants have built it that way.  The best way to explain what happens to these women, again men too, such as Roger Reynolds, the former auditor of Butler County, or Thomas Hall, the current Representative in Ohio, is that there is a network that protects itself from vivacious characters that drew them to power in the first place.  But specifically with women, some of them are now in their 70s and have been fighting the same corruption for over thirty years, and it wears them out.  They end up with their kids grown and hateful; their husbands usually end up running off with other women, women who are less politically active and much easier to make happy, and they end up alone, bitter, and angry.  And people like these Butler County judges know that their cases have little legal merit, but their control over the law can drive people crazy.  A good example would be when a man is looking to cheat on his wife with another woman, and he attempts to portray the effort by telling everyone how crazy his wife is so that he can justify the abandonment of his marital vows.  When collectivists attack individuals, they always turn toward manipulating public opinion so they can show themselves as the victim, which is the entire legal strategy behind the Darbi Boddy legal cases.  It’s the system looking to divorce Darbi by making her look like the crazy wife.  And if she’s not crazy today, fighting a corrupt system might make her and her friends turn out that way.

That’s not to say that fighting back against the system is a worthless gesture.  I would point to what’s happening in American politics with Trump against the never-Trumper movement as an example of this behavior over many years catching up to them.  Sure, there have been a lot of casualties. Some of the women I mentioned are now very bitter old ladies who never tasted justice even though technically they won in court.  The sheer evil of the systems they fight rots them from the inside out.  But along the way, the exposure of this vast evil has turned the public against it.  So, no matter how far down the well the Butler County courts attempt to attach themselves to yet another example of judicial activism to take out a political opponent using a corrupt court system to do it, the public is turning away from those kinds of abuses of power, because they are tired of it.  They see what has been going on all along.  I tell those older women that I’m thinking of, as their kids have grown up, to hate them for their crusades of justice, and for what, to eventually win a victory in the court of public opinion several decades later, that it was all worth it.  Their men would have left them for younger women anyway.  And kids often must learn life lessons from the totality of a life, not just the little kid years where a mom was a good mom because they gave them a popsicle from the freezer while watching their favorite show on television.  As Darbi Boddy is experiencing in real-time, most collective-based organizations, whether it’s the Lakota school board, the local attorneys, the judges, the political RINOs, or the Freemasonry network, that all the people join those memberships to gain power over their fear of individual merit.  Which is the root cause of much of what’s wrong in the world.  And in the end, the victory is worth it.  Even if it costs a lot to get there.

Darbi Boddy and the Masonic Order of Doom: The fight of social collectivists against MAGA individualism

Evil is the only word that applies to how Lakota schools, its administration, fellow school board members, various political parties, and the legal system have treated Darbi Boddy.  I told her recently that she should dump all those losers and let the whole thing burn.  But I wouldn’t quit either, even if it is the right thing to do.  That is more my wife talking than me; the empathy comes from concern over Darbi’s family.  On November 17th, 2023, Darbi needed to attend a safety meeting for the Lakota school board, and she had to make arrangements for someone to care for her little girl in case she was put in jail.  I’ve gone to war with people for far less than all this, so I don’t blame her when she says she’s not going to quit.  But the totality of the evil involved here is jaw-dropping and is every bit as bad as I’ve always said it was.  These are terrible, horrendous people engaged in teaching these kids in public schools, and there is a lot worse brewing under the surface.  And Darbi feels compelled to stand up to that evil and I admire her for it.  And so it was when she arrived at the meeting, there was security who told her that she couldn’t be there because of the recent and very dysfunctional Isaac Adi restraining order against Darbi.  But Darbi had spoken to the school lawyers and people who should know, and they told her she could attend, so she did, until the police issued her a citation and a court date for November 29th, 2023 for a violation of a court order.  To show how much these people care about kids, they threatened to throw Darbi Boddy in jail just for attending a school board meeting in which she was elected to participate.  Her husband is serving our country overseas, and she is the primary caregiver to a cute little girl, these people could care less what all this did to her, just as they don’t care about the students at Lakota.  All they really care about is how they can use those poor kids to fill their empty and featureless lives with social conformity.

It didn’t have to be this way; it wasn’t long ago when Judge Lyons was with Darbi and me at a nice political event where I was one of the featured speakers.  The judge was sitting at our table, and I enjoyed his company, as I have on other occasions.  And I have thought of him as a pretty good guy.  But he is also the attorney for this Isaac Adi monstrosity against Darbi, where he and others have been aggressively trying to get rid of the new school board member for the last two years.  And going back to the beginning, they drew first blood.  Lynda O’Connor led the charge, and she has dragged into her antics of personal destruction many characters, such as Judge Lyons, to satisfy a personal vendetta against Darbi Boddy for mysterious reasons.  Reasons that transcend politics.  Many people have been giving me the inside scoop on this story, and it gets uglier the more we learn from the personal experiences of these people.  I understand many temptations for brotherhoods, such as those experienced in Masonic memberships, especially within the legal profession, and Bar Associations, union membership, political parties, and all kinds of groups that give timid individuals a place to hide behind a collectivist mindset.  This bloodthirsty hatred for Darbi Boddy and others in the MAGA movement was tied to this desire to hide personal behavioral characteristics behind various elements of social collectivism and use the disguise of saving the children to mask it all from the public just as the Shriners do a lot of excellent community work when the actual elements of membership may not be so psychologically healthy. 

Looking at this case, if it weren’t for Judge Lyons’s networking, this restraining order against Darbi Boddy from Isaac Adi would go nowhere.  The recent appeals court process of Roger Reynolds, the former Butler County Auditor attacked by rivals in the Republican Party purely over power, has been much slower than the case with Isaac, which has been lightning fast.  So fast that Darbi has barely been able to react to it, which is the point. You can tell how weak a case is when they build it around entirely procedural conduct to disguise merit.  If judges weren’t also the attorneys in this case, this whole thing would stall with everyone waiting for a trial.  But this one is moving lightning fast because other elements at work look to go well beyond political parties.  This is the same kind of legal warfare that Democrats are using to harass President Trump, and it all looks scary until you get to the details.  Notice how Trump is winning in court already, especially regarding the Colorado case, which was just decided yesterday in his favor.  And the gag order in New York.  I have said from the beginning what the legal result would be in those cases, and Darbi’s case is similar.  The restraining order trying to keep her from attending school board meetings, which is all this is really about, will likely be dismissed, and the citation she was issued will be as well.  And regarding the issue in Columbus where Isaac is pushing for a violation of the incorrectly applied court order, at best, it’s a misdemeanor.  So, there is a lot of overreach where judicial activism is on full display, but there isn’t much legal merit.  Just a serious abuse of authority.  But it’s the intent that is so alarming, and that people that you think are, or were, reasonable people can be so treacherously malicious to the point of self-destruction. 

One week before all this, I sat down with Isaac to discuss this drama. We were at a political event together and hadn’t talked much, and he approached me to have a conversation and tell me how much he forgave me for all that had gone on. Which I thought was odd, but I listened, as usual. He told me how much he “loved Darbi” and wanted to do the right thing. He also told me how much differently things look on the inside as opposed to the outside, and that I didn’t understand. Well, I see pretty well, and I’ve heard all that before from people up to terrible things. What’s going on is collectivism, the same behavior that rots people’s minds toward various degrees of Marxism, and it manifests in the kind of memberships people socially engage in. Whether it’s the club of a school board where the political elements are making clear to the public that they don’t care what the voters think, they will remove Darbi because it’s their club and they decide who is in it. The voters are not in control, which is what the same cop who investigated the various sexually related antics of the previous Lakota superintendent and let him off the hook, did when he issued Darbi a citation for attending a meeting on safety as an elected officeholder just doing her job. The message was that people from the outside were not welcome. President Trump isn’t welcomed into the Swamp, and Darbi Boddy isn’t welcomed to the Lakota school board, and they were going to try anything to remove the voter’s pick from their club of malcontents and social parasites. I wouldn’t blame Darbi if she did want to quit. The message is clear to all like her that the Republican Party is not open to outsiders. It’s the club they value and the networks of social collectivism that are all about not doing what’s suitable for the kids or the community—bowing to the wills of a politically radical teacher’s union and all the associations that spawn from it. It’s as ugly as anyone can imagine. And thank goodness someone like Darbi has come along to expose it all. Like Trump, there is so much we wouldn’t know until someone was willing to challenge that system and show the world just how bad these people always were. I want to say I hate to be correct, but I can’t think of when I have ever been wrong. And I certainly have not been wrong about the Lakota school system from the beginning. If anything, I’ve been too polite.

All these brotherhoods, yet they would sacrifice the responsibility of freedom for social acceptance all the time. Many evils are committed under such an arrangement.
