I have never seen such an act of stupidity and neglect than what the FBI performed by allowing the police to turn over Syed Farook’s apartment that she shared with her converted terrorist husband to the media and allow the press to swarm through the crime scene less than 48 hours old. Here was a major terrorist incident that had taken place on American soil and the FBI and White House were desperate to minimize the reach and public outcry by denouncing that it was even an act of terror though it’s obvious to everyone from the outset that was the case. They were reluctant because the couple was Islamic and the White House toyed with the idea of containing that fact from the story early on. So the FBI allowed for the press to rummage through the crime scene looking through personal effects of the couple in an attempt to humanize them into some sort of normalcy. In the act the media destroyed countless amounts of evidence in the form of fingerprints and DNA samples which should have been extracted from the site for subsequent months—not hours. The whole incident was a shell game that the FBI was playing under White House direction and they were all caught from the outset.
Now, two months later the negligent FBI started issuing court orders against an American company, Apple—that has a net worth of what most of the countries around the world do—to force them to “cooperate with the FBI investigation” citing that the tech company has some sort of patriotic duty to let FBI agents get into their encryption of that Syed Farook iPhone. Give me a break. The crazy lunatic Islamic radical was talking to ISIS recruits on Facebook—where was the FBI in stopping that action before it happened? And why did they try to cover it up when the terrorist act happened? And then they drug their feet before announcing that it was a terrorist incident. Then two months after the fact—after they allowed the press to completely destroy evidence two days after the initial attack—all of sudden Apple has some patriotic duty to the knuckle-dragging FBI agents who screwed up the case from the outset.
I actually know a few FBI guys. Sure they get into an occasional shoot-out, but who hasn’t these days. That doesn’t impress me. Let me just say this—I wouldn’t want those guys to have encryption decoding ability to anything. They do a decent job most of the time, but like anybody who is employed, particularly in the federal government, they are prone to immoral acts of embarrassments and they often abuse their power. Let’s just say that. Apple doesn’t owe those people in the FBI anything. The FBI has all the information they need to pursue the terrorist sources in the Syed Farook case. They know who said what to whom, and who sold what and when right now. They are using the Apple case as a way to gain access to encrypted products in the future under court order, and they are using the legal process to stall their own investigation because they don’t really want the results to come out—at least until Obama is out of the White House and they can dump the news on the Friday night cycle perhaps the night before the NFL starts again, or some other cultural event that otherwise occupies the attention of the American masses. If they wanted to uncover the terrorist network behind the San Bernardino terrorist attack—those accomplices would already be prosecuted and in jail—Apple has nothing to do with it.
I am deeply insulted by the comments of the FBI and the White House. The assumption in their statements is that we are all stupid. I would agree with Donald Trump and urge Apple to cooperate with the FBI if I thought we could trust them—but we can’t. They have shown an inclination to mislead and bungle investigations either on purpose, or by incompetence. Either way, they are a risk, and no competent company should be compelled by law to squander their product for the sake of fools who are highly likely to make mistakes with it. Apple is trying to establish an Apple Pay system that is completely predicated off the public’s ability to trust the security of their products—so the FBI compelling Apple to provide a backdoor to a terrorist’s iPhone won’t help the company build that confidence. This whole “greater good” argument that the government is making is horse shit. What was good for the most of America was for the White House and FBI from the outset of the San Bernardino terrorist attacks to admit what they knew and when they knew it. Instead, they let the media come in under the guise of curiosity and destroy very valuable evidence—and then lecture us all on the merits of patriotism. Give me a break!
Where there is smoke there is often fire and there is a lot of smoke regarding the FBI handling of the terrorist incident at San Bernardino. They screwed up the case terribly—to my eyes on purpose—because I honestly don’t believe people are that stupid. If they are—then we can’t trust them with anything—certainly not the encryption of a single iPhone. The FBI is manipulating the situation obviously. The question left for the rest of us to ask is…………………………why?
I told you didn’t I—and I didn’t want to be right. But I was, and to know to what extent, just look at the comments of the radio interview Mat Clark and I did on how Disney ruined Star Wars. The Force Awakens is the Arachnophobia of modern film. Kathy Kennedy and the rest of the employees at Lucasfilm were not able to seamlessly replicate the master—George Lucas—not even with the best special effects in the world and the music of John Williams. The film struggled to make 2 billion dollars at the box office, which it should have easily surpassed if it were a good movie—just as I warned month before it came out. Now the franchise is a cheapened disaster. My family actually had tickets to go to the Star Wars Celebration in London this year—well forget that. Since I have seen The Force Awakens, I have not played a single Star Wars video game, read another book about that particular mythology, or even watched the television show, Rebels. It was very important in our family and now to me, it’s just a stupid fan film that has ruined the overall mythology established by the expanded universe through hundreds of novels. I don’t care who Rey’s father is because she’s supposed to be Jaina Solo. End of story. The idiot at Lucasfilm who thought it would be a good idea to write out Mara Jade and Jaina Solo in the Star Wars mythology is proof that second generations do not have what it takes to do the work of the primaries. So Star Wars isn’t a complete loss. It is making many of the points I have always made about politics and people in general—just not for the reasons they’d like. This leaves the announcement of Episode 8 an empty husk if irrelevancy. The movie will do well by box office standards but the next edition will have a lot less interest than The Force Awakens did. Star Wars has been reduced to just another blockbuster now-because of the mishandling of the franchise and destruction of the literary expanded universe and everyone will be very disappointed with the results of the upcoming films which will fall extremely short of Disney expectations. It’s their own fault for not listening.
What is interesting however is how Kathy Kennedy and many others have attempted to cover up their own incompetence on the film set—as they are obviously lost behind the camera without George Lucas or Steven Spielberg behind the line, with revisionist history. It is actually the same technique that our own history books have utilized to try to explain the origins of the human race and even recent events such as the history of America. If you ever wondered why the destruction of the library at Alexandria was such a devastating endeavor which sought to erase history at that point, or why modern education puts an emphasis on Indians, women, and people of color ignoring many of the great heroics of American expansion, just watch what they are doing with Star Wars right in front of our faces—for those who read. It’s the same mechanism that Bill Clinton used to stay in office as a disgraced president and the precisely duplicate manner which Democrats used to pass Obamacare on the eve of Christmas and without anybody reading a word of a document which took charge of a fifth of our American economy. The makers of Star Wars deliberately destroyed a very well-known story line and forced fans to either accept it or reject it—and they took their bets that more people would be willing to accept the revisionist vision than would reject it because they had an intense love for the product.
And some people do have such a love, that Star Wars can do no wrong. And they will line up for Episode 8 hoping that it will bring some form of nostalgia of the old Star Wars back to their lives. But in essence, all they’ll get are the sights, sounds, music and maybe some old characters—but the heart is missing. It’s very similar to when David Lee Roth left Van Halen and Sammy Hagar attempted to carry the banner—but it never really worked, because Roth had become the embodiment of the musical essence of Van Halen. Michael Jackson was able to leave the Jackson Five, but the other brothers were not able to carry on without him. Apple is not the great company that it was without Steve Jobs. People still buy the products out of nostalgia for the past, but the impact is never the same. There was only one way that Star Wars could have saved itself and that was to follow the formula of the expanded universe—which was to have Han Solo’s daughter Jaina become the Sword of the Jedi and take everything up to a new level. But with Harrison Ford out of Star Wars and this Rey character an unknown whatever, the juice behind the mythology is lost like much of the history that is now taught in public schools—watered down political crap. Lucasfilm has arrogantly moved forward abandoning their long time fans nurtured through the expanded universe expecting everyone to just follow behind them. But they should have known better. That is like asking fans of the Rolling Stones to accept the band without Mick Jagger—which I know they understand. They could have written out Harrison Ford, but they needed his child to carry things on—and they didn’t do that.
Without the mythology as it was, before the fan film revisions of post George Lucas ownership, Star Wars is just another science fiction film on par with the latest Star Trek movies, or even Independence Day rip offs. And by Independence Day, both the one done in 1995 and the second one coming up, those were rip offs of all the great movies of the 80s—they were not themselves good films. Star Wars has lost its meaning and is just a soap opera for people who don’t know better—because they either didn’t read the books or they did, but want something meaningful in their life and will compromise anything to get it. And that says a lot about why people accept certain things that are obviously lies which the government to this present time tells us, like America was bad because of slavery, that mankind evolved out of the African continent without the infusion of an advanced species which accelerated the process around the world as Neanderthals were banging rocks together just to make a loud noise.
These Star Wars movies, the proposed episodes 7, 8 and 9 are an insult because they deliberately ignore the actual story that came before it. Disney really screwed up. The Expended Universe was all real Star Wars fans had for a long time and it lived on in gaming, novels, and other media for several decades. Disney took ownership and decided to re-write the history of Star Wars and make it into some board of director’s film instead of the vision George Lucas always intended. I’m sure from his point of view; he’s just happy kids can still enjoy it—even though it’s not what he created any longer. Unfortunately Star Wars now is just another Power Rangers episode. It has lost its sanctity. At least it did for me. I really enjoyed it, and since watching that monstrosity at the movie theater on December 17th I have rejected Star Wars in just about every fashion. I just dropped it like a rock in the same way I do what history of diffusion that scientists try to utter through modern education ignoring the role the Chinese had as a great navy of the world advanced beyond the years of Europe by several centuries. Great civilizations existed in Siberia, China and now submerged areas around Indonesia. Additionally, North America was a hot bed of human activity long before the Jews escaped the Pharaoh in Egypt. And forever Jaina Solo was the star of the Star Wars universe before revisionists sought to change everything and turn the story into a much more progressive tool than it otherwise had been. And that is just a shame. It won’t be the first time, and it’s certainly not the last. Disney will learn their lesson on the next films. But unfortunately, the human race makes the same mistakes time and time again—and they show no signs of learning anything from the past.
If Donald Trump needs any help fulfilling his promise to build a wall along the U.S-Mexico border, he’ll find a volunteer in Ohio.
Jim Spurlino, owner of Middletown, Ohio’s Spurlino Materials and a candidate for Ohio’s 8th Congressional District, offered to send his company’s “mobile concrete plants” to the border to build a barricade that prevents immigrants from coming across illegally.
“The nation needs a concrete-strong border to protect patriotic Americans from foreign terrorists and illegal job-snatchers,” Spurlino said in a statement Monday.
I thought that was great, but then out of nowhere Spurlino released this information:
“These professional politicians must fear me,” Spurlino said. “I’m not perfect, but I’ll be honest with the voters.”
Spurlino, the owner of Spurlino Materials in Middletown, did not elaborate on what details could have ruined his reputation. He did say it stemmed from the end of a previous marriage.
Spurlino has been divorced twice, according to court records. His most recent divorce came in 2013.
“I would hope that this campaign and my opponents would stick to the issues,” he said. “That’s what I know the voters want to hear about.”
Spurlino called the tactics “cloak and dagger crazy stuff,” before alleging one of his opponents also has stalked his 16-year-old daughter on social media.
“I really can’t believe that kind of stuff happens,” he said.
Spurlino says in his campaign website he and his current wife have raised eight children together.
Neither Spurlino nor anyone on his campaign staff was immediately available for comment.
Talk about mixed messages. On one hand Spurlino appeared to be a Trump-like candidate, who was ready to fight, but then he was a victim of blackmail playing a sympathy card. It seemed like two different people who is a huge alarm to me. I was relieved in a way to find that the situation wasn’t some kind of embarrassing sexual indiscretion because that is a major no, no for me. If a man can’t keep his house in order at home, they won’t be worth anything as a public candidate. Child support can be a serious issue as well, but often that kind of thing can be screwed up by government accounting, which happens more than people might think. I have a big problem with our social trend toward the courts mediating in family affairs. I mean just recently a Butler County judge favored a swingers club in West Chester ruling against the trustees—so the courts can be just as screwed up as anybody. The best way to avoid it is to not get divorced. Spurlino has been married three times and that is a problem, but so has Trump—who I do support. So if I believe in the candidate, I can overlook some things. But once you let the government-run your family and divide up finances, it’s over, they rule over your family and its affairs and I can see how someone could end up in trouble with a government-run child support agency controlled by incompetent employees like those found at the BMV.
I spoke to Jim’s campaign manager for a while and we talked about a lot of things, including who he thinks sabotaged Spurlino with the alleged blackmail and I can believe it. If Spurlino brands himself as a Trump-type candidate strong on immigration, there are a lot of establishment types in Butler County who would have a big problem with him. I can see them trying to destroy a candidate who made big news for a local race in USA Today. I remember when I made it into a Forbes article over a political issue and saw how the other side reacted with an eye bleeding vengeance filled with panic—there was never a more ruthless attempt to destroy a person just for being a good person. If Spurlino could evoke that kind of anger against the establishment, he’d do a good service to conservatism. But he can’t do that if he puts out a couple of campaign videos trying to apologize for something to get out ahead of a story that appears not to be a very big deal—it’s a family issue that looks like it’s been resolved within the family. The courts might be in a fuss, but that is likely because they are idiots. By trying to deal with the issue in a clandestine fashion it provoked a liberal Dayton Daily News reporter to do a lot of digging to find out what the big secret was—which turned out to be far less scandalous than it might have otherwise been.
Just a bit of advice and this goes for anybody. If someone slips an envelope under your door trying to hang you for something—well the best thing is to be as squeaky clean as possible so you never have to worry about such a thing. But if it does happen, attack. Attack, attack, and attack until the person who did it to you is having nightmares about you. Never let up and drive them into the ground so that they can never get up. That is my policy and a lot of people have had to learn the hard way. They read here every day hoping that somehow some way that I’ll stumble and fall so they can peek their heads above the ground in some way once again. And I’d say to Spurlino, if you are a tough guy, then be one. Don’t play politics with losers and let your aggression fly loose. If you have what it takes to work in Trump’s wake, then be bold and hit hard. If you don’t get elected this time, so what. Just don’t play it safe. We have enough people who have been elected to the 8th District who were just pacifists looking for a stable job. We need fighters in modern politics and the best test of that is in how you deal with people who try to challenge you on the campaign trail. If someone did you wrong—destroy them. Don’t complain about it, just take care of it.
If you ever wondered why nothing much changes in politics over the years it’s because the same type of people run State Central Committee. The State Central Committee is the governing body of the Ohio Republican Party. There are two representatives from each district embodying the 33 senate districts in Ohio who manage all the party affairs including day-to-day operations, fundraising, and deciding on which candidates to support and provide resources to. They are the reason that certain people once elected are almost impossible to remove and are instrumental in maintaining a mundane status quo. Currently in the Butler County region, which is one of the most conservative areas in America, Patti Alderson is the representative most responsible for preserving status quo politics—like supporting John Kasich—who might as well be a democrat, and John Boehner. Patti has held the position since 2012 and has for years been a large political insider donating vast sums of money to political candidates. Around Butler County, if someone wanted to run for a Republican office, they had to get to know ol’ Patti.
Patti and I don’t like each other. It goes way back to the Lakota levy situation where I called her massive swarms of pro tax neurotic, guilt plagued area mothers latte sipping prostitutes. Actually, it goes back further than that. Her husband, who made all the money that Patti now enjoys as one of the wealthiest people in Southern Ohio was a supporter of mine in the No Lakota Levy effort to keep down the taxes in one of Ohio’s largest school districts in one of the most affluent areas. Patti, being completely disconnected from the realities of how taxes might influence the bottom line of her husband’s business, was a massive tax and spend liberal type siding with the progressives advancing the incursions against property values. To be honest I felt really sorry for her husband who I measured as a good man caught in a classic struggle with a wife who was out of touch with what her spouse did to make all the vast wealth she enjoyed. He never complained to me about it, but I could tell from a distance what the situation was, and I felt sorry for him. A powerful man like he was shouldn’t have to provide me with cloak and dagger financial support while publicly supporting a wife who was pretending to be a Republican while at the same time advancing all the traits of a ranting progressive. It was clear to me even before Patti was elected to the State Central Committee that the kind of watered down politicians we were getting into elected office were because of people like Patti who were liberals in how they lived and only played the part of Republicans because regionally, it’s a conservative area and is required for anybody who wants to hold a prominent position socially. (COUGH, DON DIXEN. CLICK TO REVIEW.)
It came to a head between her and me when her tax increase supporters started taking personal shots because they were getting frustrated that they couldn’t win an election against my group, No Lakota Levy. Several members who worked with me on that tax resistance group also worked with Patti at the Community Foundation, which is a charity group and she was using that to try to undermine my group internally. So we proposed an offer to donate money to kids suffering from the political stalemate and pay for their high sports fees. The Community Foundation at first was receptive, but then because the goal of Lakota schools in having the sports fees in the first place was an extortion tactic, Patti withdrew her support basically using me as her reasoning declaring that I was too controversial. That forced me and my partners to create our own Foundation, which we did. I put together a press release and we donated $10,000 to poor kids who couldn’t pay the sports fees at Lakota. I gave the Enquirer an exclusive, did the usual WLW interviews and did press for Channel 5, 9 and 12. Shortly after that Patti came after me directly joining with the Lakota school board to discredit me any way she could. They went for my jugular. If I had been a normal person, I might have been totally destroyed—and that’s the way Patti Alderson rolls, and how Republicans in Butler County have held on to their seats of power. She’s not alone, but she’s a major player—because of the wealth her family enjoys now. I said what I said about her supporters because it was obvious she was working with Lakota to use children to drive up tax increases and it personally made me sick—because she called herself a Republican. Most of the men went along with the tax hungry wives because they wanted peace in their households so I needed to illustrate the situation the way I am uniquely positioned to do.

Well times change and now my friend Ann Becker and a partner of her acquaintance Walter Simms are running against Patti to unseat her. I know it’s hard for Ann because she and Patti were always pretty good friends but the big difference is that Ann cannot pretend to be a Republican—she just is to the core of her personality. Being a Republican to Ann actually means something—it’s not a social-climbing device intended to get into the latest charity parties hosted by the Chamber. To Ann, being a Republican is serious business and it has been her mission since I’ve known her to return our government mechanisms to a constitutional republic, not a society of bootlickers trying to appease people like Patti who want to be everything to everybody. So guess who I’m supporting for State Central Committee?
Dear reader, if you want to make me happy—if you’d like to pay me back for all the years you’ve enjoyed reading these words and all the antics on radio broadcasts, and calling it like it is—then show up to vote to destroy Patti Alderson politically. Can you do that little thing for me? Vote for Ann and be sure to utterly destroy Patti Alderson. Patti is not a Republican. She was one of the first people we identified as a RINO way back leading up to 2012. The more I learned about her the more obvious it was. If she wasn’t she wouldn’t have worked so hard to personally destroy me just for standing in the way of higher taxes she desired. What she did I will never forget or forgive and I’m absolutely sure I’m not the only one. I don’t wish her and her husband harm physically, but Patti shouldn’t be involved in politics unless she wants to host a fund-raiser. She should not have her hands on the daily operations of the Republican Party in any legislative fashion. She is a Kasich supporter; it is because of people like her that we have Jeb Bush still thinking he should run for president. She helped keep Boehner in power longer than he should have been and helped swipe away challengers to his seat with mechanisms of similar manipulative aggression as she showed to me—just for being in the way of what she wanted.
I know Ann inside and out—I know her very heart and I am certain that she can be trusted with such an important seat of power. Honestly we need 66 Ann Becker types on the State Central Committee but I can handle two for now, Ann herself and her partner in this endeavor Walter Simms. I met Walter’s wife just the other day and I could see on her face that Walter had her permission to be a real fighter for the sanctity of the Republican Party. When I saw her face I actually thought of Patti’s husband and how he projected the opposite sentiment. For his sake, I wish Patti hadn’t made the decision to become public property by running for office—because a lot of this is embarrassing for his family. For his sake I wish they could just stay shadow donors—because then stories like this could just stay in the kitchens and living rooms of Butler County. But she decided to be a public person, so that puts the issue out there for debate, and her character and motivations certainly deserve scrutiny, because she sells herself as one thing yet advances an entirely different philosophy. Regarding the old friendship between Patti and Ann—I’m sure it hurts to consider but it’s good strategically to keep you enemies close so you might influence their behavior. Fortunately for all of us, Ann was never seduced into the manipulative arms of the latté sippers which made up Patti’s core group of levy supporters and progressive social insurgents.
Another name who was on No Lakota Levy with me was Todd Hall, who now runs the Republican Party. I liked Todd, but we haven’t spoken much since that time because when Patti put down the gauntlet on the men in the Republican Party at the time they had to pick sides. His attitude toward me was like the kid who was playing with the neighborhood rebel and his parents were putting a stop to it. I understood of course. It takes courage to stay by the side of people who are going against the grain. Unfortunately for the Republican Party, the same kind of thing happens every day, whether the target is David Kern of Liberty Township, or J.D. Winteregg who was challenging John Boehner’s seat a few years ago. Or, Ann Becker herself being booted out of a John Kasich Rally for protesting Common Core. Todd was just doing what his bosses told him too—even though he was supposed to be running the party. The sad thing about that is Patti let that happen to her old friend in such an embarrassing way. If that’s how she treats friends and in my case, neighbors who her husband supported—just think of how she’ll treat people she doesn’t care about.
Do the Republican Party a favor—boot her ass out on March 15th. Early voting begins on February 17th. I’ll likely be in line to cast my vote in favor of Ann first. She’s a great person and someone who is tested under fire. She is unflappable. She cannot be corrupted. She may be a bit too idealistic at times, but that only helps her in this kind of fight. Patti is entrenched and it won’t be easy to get rid of her. So it will take everything you’ve got dear reader to dispose of her politically. But this is your chance to do so. Don’t blow it! Vote for Ann Becker and Walter Simms for District 4 State Central Committee and take a very important step toward fixing the Republican Party for the next generation. It’s RINO hunting season and Patti is the mama bear. With her out of power, the cubs will be easy—metaphorically speaking of course.
Gosh, it’s been around 6 to 7 years of effort, but you can clearly see how the Tea Party has shaped local and national elections. I remember how it was back then, and I can clearly see it now. On the national stage Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Rand Paul were all heavy Tea Party candidates and three of those four are current front runners as the primary season is starting. Old traditional politicians like John Boehner under great pressure vacated his 8th District Congressional seat in Ohio—to a large extent because of the Tea Party, especially in his home town. A silent insurrection has been taking place on the Republican Central Committee behind the scenes and the politics under the feet of Boehner changed into something unrecognizable to him and his donor base. It was never anything against Boehner, but he made himself a public person, and that meant he had to make a choice. The West Chester Tea Party expected him to be authentic, even if the Washington lobbyist culture was fine with people who were Republican in Name Only. So John resigned and now in early 2016 there will be an election starting on March 15th to fill his seat. And out of all the forums to flush out the new candidates, the West Chester Tea Party was at the heart of vetting those future politicians. Not everyone running showed up, but the most relevant did and they can be seen in the following video. It is interesting to watch how the political dialogue has changed over that relatively short period of time. A lot of the things discussed in this video would have been avoided before 2010 by all politicians. Things have certainly changed.
So who’s my pick after watching that video, well for me it’s quite clear—it’s Warren Davidson. I would have liked to have had J.D. Winteregg and Jim Spurlino speak at the event, but they were no shows. In the past I have supported J.D., but if you can’t make it to the West Chester Tea Party events in the south of the 8th District, then those candidates don’t really want to win. You have to get those people on your side, or you won’t win the 8th District. Just some friendly advice—guys. Warren Davidson out of all the candidates on stage at Butler Tech was the clear front-runner. There were things about some of the other candidates that I liked, but they weren’t the type of people who could hope to survive in the emerging Washington landscape. I watched Warren even when he wasn’t speaking. He didn’t make any disrespectful faces when the other candidates were talking—even when what was sometimes said came out bizarrely. With Warren, it’s what he didn’t say that told me he was ready to stand up against the lobbyists of K-Street and represent the 8th District correctly. I spoke to him after the debate and measured that he was the type of guy who would still be a good representative even after a few years in Washington.
I liked Terri King, but she came across to me as an amateur. She dressed professionally, except for her shoes yet had a down-to-earth approach. That might be fine for a public relations person working at the county fair, but representing the 8th District in a far away land wraith with evil takes a thick skin and a steady hand—and Terri didn’t show me that she could do anything but complain like a born again Christian at the treachery before her. You can tell a lot about a person by their shoes. With her, high heel shoes would have been better, or work boots if she wanted to come across as approachable. But the slippers with the suit just didn’t work. I liked what she said, but she projected to me that all she could do was complain. When it came time for action, she reminded me of someone who would hesitate in a moment of indecision—for instance, it’s a late night vote before a government shutdown. She has campaigned on the issue and knows she’s expected to stand by her platform. But she’s in Washington making over six figures a year. The media are camped outside her office door hounding her every time she heads to the elevator. And she doesn’t want to reveal that she’s ready to cave on the vote-because she likes the money that is showing up on her doorstep every day—for really the first time in her life. The suit she wore shows me she knows how to impress at a first glance. But the slippers said she wasn’t ready for a real fight. I don’t care if she has issues with her feet, if she can’t wear proper shoes; she’s not ready for the hostile environment in Washington. You have to be ready for war on every level, from the street fights to the most subtle psychological warfare and not betray the 8th District. She’s not ready or able. She might do better with some local seat in the safety net of Butler County, but in Washington, she’d be eaten alive the first week.
I met Kevin White before the West Chester event and thought he was a nice guy. He was very polite and conscientious. But he is entirely too systematic to be a congressman. His military life has made him unable to think very nimbly. He struck me as someone who would happily fall in line with House leadership and do as instructed—which might not always be bad depending on whom the leadership is at the time—but as an individual, he didn’t have the mind to represent the 8th District. Through his handshake I could tell he was much better at taking orders than thinking on his own. I’d hire him to be a pilot in less than a second—he comes across as very competent and procedural—but not someone who can smell a rat in a conversation with a lobbyist from a powerful pharmaceutical company. To represent the 8th District of Ohio after the way that John Boehner caved to so much pressure embarrassing us thoroughly on a national stage, White is too much of that old type of politician, a guy trying to get elected because of his service in the military and little else—because of his willingness to “sacrifice for the “greater good.” That is a bad recipe for a congressional representative because once a lobbyist can make a case for the greater good whether the topic is war or health care—people like White will lose. I may support Donald Trump for president who sometimes says that things are for the “greater good,” because I expect congress to stand in the way if things get too rough to keep our constitutional republic in check. We don’t need a bunch of softies in tomorrow’s congress. We need tough people who are smarter than whoever is in the White House.
The questions presented by the Tea Party audience did a good job of shaking the candidates off their talking points and forcing them to think on their feet. That style of debate likely kept some of the other candidates from participating. The ones who did stumbled a lot—which wasn’t bad. They may have felt they came across weak, but we had to see how they handled some curve balls. Some of them didn’t come across strongly at all and they were clear amateurs not ready for such a high office. I’m not going to embarrass them—they know who they are. Even though I could say the same about Warren Davidson’s military record as I did about White—there was clearly another gear to Davidson. He showed an ability to think quickly and improvise that was missing from the other candidates. Honestly, that will be the most valuable trait for the next 8th District congressional representative. Whoever it is will have to be able to walk literally into Hell and still maintain themselves as a frosty white honest conservative who can dish out the hits as well as take them without having ruffled feathers. Davidson clearly showed that he had that ability.
Probably the most interesting candidate was James Condit Jr., who showed up late looking like he had just fallen out of a bus that he was sleeping in. He positioned himself on the side of the stage sitting behind the curtain half the night. I’m sure I had heard his name before, but my impression of him was that he was barely hanging on to reality. However, he was very articulate and intelligent when he spoke. He was the most at ease in front of a crowd and had great command of his tonal inflections. He was either a very slick salesman, an Alex Jones loon, or a highly intelligent eccentric. I can’t say that I disagreed with him even though he dropped some bombs during his speaking moments. I’ve written about some of the things he brought up, as I sometimes agree with Alex Jones. Sometimes reality is stranger than fiction and Condit was clearly functioning from that zone of thought. But for the purpose of this article, it was clear to me that he wasn’t serious about representing the 8th District. He’s only running for office to get some media coverage to play his part of Paul Revere announcing the conspiracies that are not only coming, but have already long been here. Condit wants to be on stage, so he’s running for office to get a platform. He’s not serious about the office—otherwise he would have been on time and would have presented himself differently.
I personally know J.D. and thought he should have come to this Tea Party event regardless of whatever was on his schedule. It was important. For what he went through to challenge John Boehner just a few years ago, I would have expected him to be there. But he wasn’t, and Warren Davidson showed himself as a more than viable candidate. As for Jim Spurlino—I like some of the things he has been saying, particularly in relation to Donald Trump, but he should have been there too—but wasn’t. If he really wanted to shake off the controversy of the mystery envelope that showed up under his door—which I’ll cover in a later article, he should have showed up to defend himself. To my mind, if he made mistakes that put him in a compromising position, he shouldn’t be running for congress. If he can’t handle little temptations between marriages—he won’t stand a chance in Washington. The girls like powerful men, compromises will be presented to him every day and you can tell in his campaign ads that his wife wants him to congressman too much. This 8th District job isn’t for softies or guys who like tits and ass at gentlemen clubs. I know lots of construction guys and I like working with them—and I understand the culture—they are the real men who build America. There is a place in the world for New York New York in Franklin and burger places like Hooters. Hard core helmet busting construction guys who work for people like Spurlino sometimes need that kind of environment. It’s not good for family life at home, but it helps to bust knuckles over steel and concrete in the company of men. I don’t do things like that, but I understand the personality type. But in Washington, T&A comes with lobbyists hooks connected to them and if Spurlino made that mistake even once in his life, he’s disqualified in my mind—because K-Street is a thousand times worse. A candidate in the 8th District has to be able to walk through the fires of Hell unscathed with their integrity intact every day, and looking into the eyes of all the people on stage that night, only Warren Davidson has that ability.
In 2016 with all that’s going on and will happen over the next four years, the representative of the 8th District in Ohio needs to be a tough guy who can shoulder temptation without yielding to it. And he’ll need to have the same tenacity after four years in office. Whoever it ends up being better be ready to wear the proper shoes, because the fight will not be easy—in fact, it will likely be the hardest thing they have ever done in their lives—and that includes life and death situations. This is not a light election cycle. It may be the most important any of us will face for another century. So you better make it count.
The Kardashev scale is a method of measuring a civilization‘s level of technological advancement, based on the amount of energy a civilization is able to utilize directed towards communication.[1] The scale has three designated categories called Type I, II, and III. A Type I civilization is able to utilize and store energy available from its neighboring star which reaches their planet, Type II is able to harness the energy of the entire star (the most popular hypothetic concept being the Dyson sphere—a device which would encompass the entire star and transfer its energy to the planet), and Type III civilization are in control of energy on the scale of their entire host galaxy.[2] The scale is hypothetical, and regards energy consumption on a cosmic scale. It was first proposed in 1964 by the SovietastronomerNikolai Kardashev. Various extensions of the scale have been proposed since, from a wider range of power levels (types 0, IV and V) to the use of metrics other than pure power.
In 1964, Kardashev defined three levels of civilizations, based on the order of magnitude of power available to them:
Type I
“Technological level close to the level presently attained on earth, with energy consumption at ≈4×1019erg/sec (4 × 1012 watts).”[1] Guillermo A. Lemarchand stated this as “A level near contemporary terrestrial civilization with an energy capability equivalent to the solar insolation on Earth, between 1016 and 1017 watts.”[3]
Type II
“A civilization capable of harnessing the energy radiated by its own star”–for example, the stage of successful construction of a Dyson sphere–“with energy consumption at ≈4×1033 erg/sec.”[1] Lemarchand stated this as “A civilization capable of utilizing and channeling the entire radiation output of its star. The energy utilization would then be comparable to the luminosity of our Sun, about 4×1033 erg/sec (4×1026watts).”[3]
Type III
“A civilization in possession of energy on the scale of its own galaxy, with energy consumption at ≈4×1044 erg/sec.”[1] Lemarchand stated this as “A civilization with access to the power comparable to the luminosity of the entire Milky Way galaxy, about 4×1044 erg/sec (4×1037 watts).”[3]
Michio Kaku suggested that humans may attain Type I status in 100–200* years, Type II status in a few thousand years, and Type III status in 100,000 to a million years.[4]
Carl Sagan suggested defining intermediate values (not considered in Kardashev’s original scale) by interpolating and extrapolating the values given above for types I (1016 W), II (1026 W) and III (1036 W), which would produce the formulawhere value K is a civilization’s Kardashev rating and P is the power it uses, in watts. Using this extrapolation, a “Type 0” civilization, not defined by Kardashev, would control about 1 MW of power, and humanity’s civilization type as of 1973 was about 0.7 (apparently using 10 terawatt (TW) as the value for 1970s humanity).[5]
In 2012, total world energy consumption was 553 exajoules (7020553000000000000♠553×1018 J=153,611 TWh),[6] equivalent to an average power consumption of 17.54 TW (or 0.724 on Sagan’s Kardashev scale).
In 2015, a study of galactic mid-infrared emissions came to the conclusion that “Kardashev Type-III civilizations are either very rare or do not exist in the local Universe”.[7] On October 14, 2015, the realization of a strange pattern of light surrounding star KIC 8462852 has raised speculation that a Dyson Sphere (Type II civilization) may have been discovered.[8][9][10][11][12]
Type I civilization methods
Large-scale application of fusion power. According to mass-energy equivalence, Type I implies the conversion of about 2 kg of matter to energy per second. An equivalent energy release could theoretically be achieved by fusing approximately 280 kg of hydrogen into helium per second,[13] a rate roughly equivalent to 8.9×109 kg/year. A cubic km of water contains about 1011 kg of hydrogen, and the Earth’s oceans contain about 1.3×109 cubic km of water, meaning that humans on Earth could sustain this rate of consumption over geological time-scales, in terms of available hydrogen.
Antimatter in large quantities would have a mechanism to produce power on a scale several magnitudes above our current level of technology. In antimatter-matter collisions, the entire rest mass of the particles is converted to radiant energy. Their energy density (energy released per mass) is about four orders of magnitude greater than that from using nuclear fission, and about two orders of magnitude greater than the best possible yield from fusion.[14] The reaction of 1 kg of anti-matter with 1 kg of matter would produce 1.8×1017J (180 petajoules) of energy.[15] Although antimatter is sometimes proposed as a source of energy, this does not appear feasible. Artificially producing antimatter – according to current understanding of the laws of physics – involves first converting energy into mass, so no net gain results. Artificially created antimatter is only usable as a medium of energy storage, not as an energy source, unless future technological developments (contrary to the conservation of the baryon number, such as a CP violation in favour of antimatter) allow the conversion of ordinary matter into anti-matter. Theoretically, humans may in the future have the capability to cultivate and harvest a number of naturally occurring sources of antimatter.[16][17][18]
Renewable energy through converting sunlight into electricity — either by using solar cells and concentrating solar power or indirectly through wind and hydroelectric power. There is no known way for human civilization to use the equivalent of the Earth’s total absorbed solar energy without completely coating the surface with human-made structures, which is not feasible with current technology. However, if a civilization constructed very large space-based solar powersatellites, Type I power levels might become achievable–these could convert sunlight to microwave power and beam that to collectors on Earth.
Now, a lot of people don’t think currently in the proper way to comprehend a Type I civilization. They figure that they get 70 to 80 trips around the sun on planet earth, and then they die to reside in some heaven of their chosen religion. But that is a choice relative only to the experience of life on earth and the mythologies of our evolution. There is no rational reason as a human being to die or to be limited to the kinds of scientific limits we currently experience. If the miracles of capitalism were to be unleashed with people like Donald Trump who would not allow special interests and old national desires for ancient bloodlines to guide their decision-making, which is what is happening right now, our global society could move toward a Type I civilization as opposed to following the Vico cycle back toward a collective swarm of nomads running from anarchy.
We are truly on a unique precipice in history. A lot of what Sean Stone is talking about is potential that is available right now. The reason those things are not available to us are for the same reasons that established politicians are still reluctant to accept that Donald Trump or Ted Cruz are leading the Republican field for President of the United States—because the established order wants to keep things the way that they are now—which benefits them. Most of them are like Plato’s cave, also shown above and told by Alex Jones—they believe in certain things, whether it’s their version of an afterlife, or that some superior species of aliens runs the universe and that they must surrender to their whims, or perhaps they believe that their bloodline is their version of eternity and that the way to stay in power is to preserve the organized world around the same power structures that existed when their grandparents were kings. But in reality all those limits are stupid. They are archaic. I wrote about the Plato metaphor a long time before Alex Jones used that allegory described above—but that’s OK, people come to things in their own way. Most of our society has been trained to look at the shadows on the wall. They have no idea what’s really behind them, or even more so, what’s outside the cave.
Now here we are. What Sean Stone is saying is actually quite true regarding the restricted science and the reasons for it. Everywhere I look I see people ready to go back to what they know—back to the beginning of civilization because they don’t have the courage to step into a Type I. They are like alcoholics who cannot stay off the bottle or fat people who know they have to lose weight but cannot stop eating comfort food whenever they are sad about something. Mankind is addicted to the Vico cycle and that is exactly what socialists are advocating. The good Illuminati that Stone was referring to was a point in the history of the world where thinkers like Adam Smith, Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin questioned the reality of the day and tossed it out for the world to consider—which it has struggled with for a few hundred years. Now there are a few people, like Sean Stone, myself, and a few others who have seen what’s outside the cave and are holding flashlights for those staring at the shadows to turn their heads and follow the light out of the cave—so they can finally see reality. But that takes courage, and for most of them—that is too great of a task to master. Will it be a Type I society, or will it be the Vico cycle. Socialists have already picked anarchy and we all know what follows that.
Another aspect for president that nobody has really captured in the mainstream media is one that I am most concerned about—and that is addressing the deplorable American work ethic so prevalent today. So far only Donald Trump has really shown that he has some understanding of this trouble and has managed as a successful person to recruit hard-working people into his organizations that embrace his vision. In general across the nation, Americans have lost their drive to work and be productive—and this is one of the most epic crises that we have to face immediately. The next president will have to step beyond the boundaries of political correctness and address this very dire crisis quickly—before it’s too late, as if it weren’t already. Things weren’t always like this in the United States. But after years of public education failure and poorly managed governments encouraging weakness in American work forces, the effects are now quite dramatic. To see how much, just do a little bit of travel—particularly to an Asian country.
I was very concerned recently while landing in Tokyo that it would take forever to get through customs, get my bags and head to the next flight with only a few hours to spare. I was basing my experience on American work forces at airports. Up to that point the entire crew of the ANA Airlines had been top-notch. The stewardesses were attractive and attentive. After a 13 hour flight they were just as engaging as if it had just started. They were beautiful not so much in a sexual way, but in the way that a flower might catch your eye with a natural appeal that comes from unfiltered existence. Everything they did on the airplane was fast, efficient, and purposeful. I doubt any of them were over 30 and they looked in your eye when they spoke to you. The downside was that as an Asian culture, they were collectivists. Most of what they did was for the greater good of their country—so they lack the ability to really communicate on an individual level. But when it comes to focusing on a task that requires teamwork, they are the best.
Landing in Tokyo I was shocked to see that everything happened very quickly, as if the entire airport had rallied to the task of getting everyone to their next stop. Their security was extremely professional and did not want to hamper business in any way. Most of the people were attractive. Employees actually ran if they felt they needed to, to keep everything flowing. The result was that my security check and bag acquisition took all of about 45 minutes. 15 minutes after that I was at the next gate waiting for the next leg of the journey. Everyone and I mean everyone was very helpful and that attitude prevailed just about everywhere I went in the country—from restaurants to hotel staff.
Compare that to the United Airlines flight back. Most of the employees were over 40 and looked like beat up pickup trucks that had been hauling concrete for twenty years. Some of them were even guys. Let me be very politically incorrect because it’s necessary—and this is no fault of the employees of United Airlines—its just human tendency—I don’t want some dude handing me drinks or tending to me in and out of sleep during a long oversea flight. I want a female—and I think other females prefer it too most of the time. We want a maternal type not some dude covered in whiskers with hairy forearms reaching across our faces. Airplanes are tight and you really don’t want some guy’s junk touching your arm as they walk by you. A girl is fine of course, but a guy is not. The females on that United flight were however taking up way too much real-estate. They were overweight and old. For those flying into America from somewhere else, this was their first impression. Then you get to Chicago.
There the elements of progressivism were obvious—the standard unionized slugs of mixed ethnicity acting like you owed them for their lives standing around uselessly. Everything took too long and the shift of focus obviously moved to them as opposed to customer service. Security took nearly three times as long in Chicago as it did Tokyo. Tokyo is a larger city than Chicago so they are comparable examples. In Japan they don’t put up with a lot of crap from other countries. There is a reason we don’t hear about terrorist activity in Japan—that’s because they aren’t concerned with political correctness in that culture. They screen for trouble makers and they don’t allow for the disruption of productive enterprise in their society. In America, it was more important to hire minorities, handicapped people, and everyone’s grandmas to get them out of the kitchen making cookies and into the “workforce” so that they could be taxed on incomes that they probably didn’t need. They whole thing was a disaster to my eyes. It was embarrassing.
Some black guy who was obviously trying to look busy as a TSA agent singled out my bag for further evaluation wanting to look at some gifts I bought for my kids in Tokyo. I was very tort with him because I knew he was just wasting time. He wasn’t looking for anything. He just wanted to show that he had authority and could waste my time—it was strictly a power thing with the guy. Of course I wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction, so my answers were disrespectful and snooty on purpose. He was wasting my time so I was going to get my worth one way or another. But I shouldn’t have even had to deal with it. The problem is cultural with an emphasis on all the wrong things.
Needless to say, being back in America was wonderful. There is nothing like the good ol’ American flag to greet you after a long trip—that and the golden arches of McDonald’s. But the American work ethic as it is today just sucks. Our young people don’t want to work and our hiring practices encourage the worst and weakest instead of the best and most attractive. I’m not saying that we should have a “Hooters” airlines, but there needs to be a conscious effort to put our best people where they are the face of whatever organization they are employed by. We don’t need a bunch of union slugs holding up productive output and acting like you owe them something for their job. They need to recognize that productive output is the measure the world judges us all on, and you either have it or you don’t, and right now, the Asian countries are beating the crap out of America with sheer work ethic. Where are the good-looking American girls who want to fly around the world for free as an airline employee? Well, they don’t make it through the screening process because those companies are encouraged to hire minorities and senior citizens due to government activism toward progressive objectives.
Worst above all, American workers these days seem all too intent to tell you what “cannot be done.” If you ask them a question, they’ll find a million reasons to tell you why it cannot be accomplished. Rather than try, they just throw up their arms in surrender from the outset. They are too lazy to try. Because our government has made it too easy to get free money from the government too many people are just fat and lazy—they invest more time in watching stupid television shows as opposed to actually accomplishing something or earning money for themselves. The good-looking girls who should be working our airlines are thirty pounds overweight and covered in body piercings. They don’t know if they are lesbians, bi-sexuals, or if they want to have kids or even get married. So they eat, make their asses fat, and they rot away into uselessness. That fault isn’t necessarily their own, it comes from a poor national strategy of putting emphasis on all the wrong things.
A President Trump knows that people like gold sinks and supermodel receptionists. He knows that men like other men who are strong and bold. A President Trump knows that the way to win in the world is to work harder and do so more often than everyone else. It also starts by hiring the best people for the best positions. If a girl wants to be a stewardess to see the world during her twenties before she marries and is a knock-out to look at, she should get the job over the 50-year-old two-time grandma who is going back to work because she’s been made to feel socially that she’s useless at home baking cookies for her family. If some gay guy is competing for an airline job over a girl who belongs on the cover of a magazine, the girl should get the job because the customers on the airline will enjoy her company on a long flight a lot more than the uncomfortable presence of a person who might accost you during a nap. And as for TSA agents, the fast guy who sees everything but is still polite and focused on getting everyone to their next destination should get the job over some thug who was given the job by a government program to keep the fatherless bastard out of a gang on the streets of Chicago. The only way to solve these problems is to first acknowledge that they exist, then to have the fortitude to do something different with an eye toward productive output. And the first step on that path is to be politically incorrect and declare that a lot of the things we do now as a nation are just stupid—and embarrassing. We need a president who will put once again an emphasis on the most productive out-put possible for all the right reasons. Then not be afraid to tell it like it is—because somebody better fast, otherwise every other country on earth will beat us because they are not politically correct. You can’t compete with a culture if you intentionally hold your hands behind your backs with political correctness. That practice has to stop for all our good, and we need a president who understands how to communicate that through the power of the Oval Office.
There were times when Glenn Beck was on Fox News from 5 to 6 PM where I thought he was doing his shows directly off my blog material or that he and I were intellectually tied to some cosmic root. But he was a fighter back then obviously ahead of the curve. He’s not held up well over the last five years. The constant beatings it takes to be at the front have harmed his health and eroded his intellect. I have heard him say some really dumb things over the last few weeks as it has become obvious that Donald Trump is going to remain the front-runner of the GOP. Beck has lost a lot of ground over the last year, starting with his declarations of being done with the GOP, and the NRA over endorsements, then lately turning around and saying at a Ted Cruz event that he’d rather support the socialist Bernie Sanders over Trump. I used to listen to The Blaze everyday so that I could hear my buddy Doc Thompson each morning. I’d stick around and listen to Beck afterwards sometimes, but with all the Trump hatred as the months have went on it has just turned me off to Beck. I think the hatred Beck has toward Trump runs far deeper than anybody knows and for reasons nobody would suspect. But Beck has done this to himself. It makes me sad to see, but he clearly has put himself on the wrong side of history. Here’s a little what Beck said earlier this past week in regard to Trump and Bernie Sanders while endorsing Ted Cruz for president.
BECK SAID HE HAD NEVER ENDORSED A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE IN HIS 40 YEARS OF BROADCASTING, BUT HE MADE AN EXCEPTION BECAUSE OF THE URGENCY OF THE MOMENT…
…HE SAID HE EVEN PREFERS SEN. BERNIE SANDERS (I-VT.), A SELF-PROCLAIMED “DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST” RUNNING IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY, TO TRUMP.
“HONESTY, FAITH AND TRUTH ARE BASIC REQUIREMENTS. AND QUITE HONESTLY, I HAVE TO TELL YOU, THIS PROBABLY ISN’T GOING TO GO OVER VERY WELL, THAT’S WHY I LIKE BERNIE SANDERS,” HE SAID. “BERNIE SANDERS IS LIKE, ‘YEP, I’M A SOCIALIST.’
“I CAN ACTUALLY SIT AT A TABLE WITH A MAN WHO SAYS, ‘YES, I’M A SOCIALIST, AND YES, I DON’T LIKE WHAT WE ARE DOING, WE SHOULD BE MORE LIKE DENMARK,’ ” HE ADDED
Going back to Beck and I, there have been many times over the last five years where our paths have crossed a bit but either my reluctance or his prevented the next step. My friend Doc Thompson works for Glenn Beck. I have promoted Doc for several years now and The Blaze when it first announced its radio programming—which I think is good, especially in the beginning because I wanted Beck to find success. There were even a few phone calls about going to Dallas and working some projects at Beck’s studio there. This is all before Trump announced his presidency of course. There was something about Beck that was making me weary—almost like he was comparable to the Jim Jones cult with him as the central figure. I’d listen to Doc talk about working at The Blaze, which he loves, but something just seemed wrong about it, so I never took the next steps of discussion.
I think it’s fair to say that I have extraordinary judgment. I can read body language extremely well. I can detect tonal inflections and get to a truth behind words, and I can see way out in front of the train if you know what I mean. So I tend to trust my instincts on all things. There is a reason that I peeled back my support of The Blaze over the last six months. I listened to their Trump bashing for several months every morning and gradually I realized they were off the mark. All this Christian stuff has gone to Beck’s head and ruined his mind—likely a byproduct of his serious illnesses that he has been dealing with until last year. It has changed him and taken the fight out of him. He’s not the same person he was when he had a dominant Fox News audience that was ruffling the feathers of Bill O’Reilly. Beck was pumping out New York Times bestsellers every few months and everything was great.
I thought it was good that when he was fired from Fox, essentially for going after George Soros, that he got back on the horse and started his own network and movie studio in Dallas. But there was something missing in him that was noticeable. He had lost his will to fight, which was obvious. He had been beat down and was living off his earnings. But he wasn’t the same guy. He evolved from an Ayn Rand type of advocate to just another religious type leading a congregation. He didn’t impose his beliefs on other employees of his at The Blaze, but he certainly set a standard. What is certain is that he stopped fighting and become much more reconcilable toward the enemy.
I think the reason he and I never hit it off in spite of our mutual connections is that he’s a pacifist and I’m not. I’m all about conquering the enemy and using The Art of War to do it. I love to fight, I love aggression, and I get bored with peace. I don’t want his Christian nation. I like the values, but I love conflict and I would be bored to death in Glenn Beck’s America. I don’t want Abraham Lincoln as president, and I think George Washington was too middle of the road. I personally love people like George Patton as opposed to George Washington. I could have worked with Beck, but I don’t think he could have worked with me. He has become used to being the center of attention and that’s impossible to do around me, so I and he went in very different directions. Doc Thompson tried more than once to reconcile that, but knowing Beck was involved just robbed my ambition for an opportunity. I determined through observation that Beck was on a sinking ship. I hoped to be wrong, but of course I’m usually not because I do read situations with great clarity—no matter how controversial.
Along comes Trump and he’s all about fighting so naturally I support people like him over pacifists and obviously this has effected Beck. His audience has been split in two, some were happy to follow him and others moved in my direction for similar reasons. Beck used to do the work Trump is doing now-but the New York billionaire swept in and took that audience quickly, and maintained it since. The same type of people who showed up to Beck’s rally in 2010 in Washington has gravitated to Trump. People who loved the religious aspects of Beck’s work have stayed with him, but a lot of former Beck people have moved to Trump because they want a fighter, not a crier.
What I hear in Glenn Beck is a man jealous of Donald Trump. Beck lost a large portion of his audience to Trump and now he’s throwing a fit. When Beck was in his prime, 2010 to 2011 a lot of people were willing to overlook his past with drugs to hear the message he was speaking at that moment—and those same people are willing to give Trump the benefit of the doubt. But Beck was showing the signs of wear even in Wilmington, Ohio where I was in the cold of winter just shy of Christmas. I went there to meet Beck and to post video of the event up on The Blaze website with Scott Baker. What I saw was a man running out of gas. I didn’t want him to of course, but he did a few years later. He couldn’t handle having his family harassed in New York City, he let Soros run him out-of-town and he hid among Texans hoping to recapture his former glory. I am grateful that Beck hired my friend Doc Thompson and that he started The Blaze Radio. But it is obvious that Beck lost his will to fight in the middle of a major battle, and that just isn’t forgivable. As nice as it is to think that Beck is doing the work of God—the Devil has just as soothing of a voice in the middle of a nightly dream of divine inspiration. You can’t know who to trust especially when it comes to spiritual matters, and I don’t trust a pacifist who puts down their arms in the middle of a fight–I don’t care if God gives specific instructions through revelation in a dream. I would question God 100% of the time—and Beck is instead on his knees asking for guidance. That is not my kind of guy. A warrior must be decisive and ruthless when it comes to the enemy—and be willing to use all tools available to destroy the opposition. Screw all this brotherhood crap, and understanding. The enemy must be identified and destroyed. End of story.
Trump knows what he’s doing and where he’s going. A lot of what Beck is criticizing Trump over; there were plenty of people accusing Glenn of the same kind of stuff when he was at the front of the fight. Now that Beck is doing that against Trump it comes out sounding like a jealous has-been instead of someone who is capable of winning the fight at hand. In the end, I trust my own judgment and before Trump came along I could see that Beck was in trouble over something in his head. I still like the guy, but he’s just not the kind of fighter I can support—so I felt sorry for him putting himself on the line like he did with his Cruz support. He’s just not seeing the real fight—and I really thought he was smarter than that. A lot of people think that Trump is going to turn out to be a gigantic Trojan horse of progressivism and that he’s like Emperor Palpatine from the Star Wars movies. People, I’m smarter than that. I don’t fall for false prophets and spiritual utterances that come from who knows where. I can see things way out in front and I’m right most of the time, and I’m sure I understand Trump. Abraham Lincoln and George Washington are not enough for me—I want better and I don’t see many people with their hand up. Especially not Glenn Beck. Ted Cruz is a good guy, but he’s not right for this job at this point in time. As I’ve said before, I think Ted would be great in 2024 but not in 2016. For this election, we need a fighter—a vicious one. We need a George Patton not a pacifist who nearly lost the fight of the Revolution in Valley Forge during a hard winter looking for luck to come as divine providence. That makes a nice child’s story and it may happen from time to time by default. But my money goes on the guy who is willing to take on anybody at anytime and never wears down. I don’t wear down and I expect people I elect to office to reflect my work ethic. Beck is functioning from the wrong values. And it has cost him dearly. He is hiding his jealousy of Trump behind divine conviction—which is a ruse that his immediate supporters may not see—but to me it’s as plain as day at noon against a cloudless sky.
