The Greatest Sin of All: God does not want low ambition, weak, people, he wants Heaven on Earth and warriors to defend it

The greatest sin of all mankind, I think, is choosing to be a loser and a meek participant in the world around you.  This was a topic of conversation during dinner recently. It was a Christmas gathering of brilliant and religious people. Of course, the topic of Trump came up and why God had picked him out of all people to save the world.  Because what is happening is nothing short of revolutionary, and there is a science to it. If you read the Bible carefully and free yourself of the many human interpretations of it that necessitate worldly politics in convincing people to be sheep and to flock to the shepherds of government for the global control of mass social movements, you’ll see that there is more to our usual thoughts on the matter.  I argue often, and I did at that dinner for a lengthy diatribe about biblical understanding that my take on God is that he wants and despises meek losers who grovel at a sacrificial monument and strive to cover their nakedness.  Of course, that point of view gets a lot of looks and even provokes anger.  Sometimes, a lot of anger.  But that wouldn’t make any of it any less accurate, and I explained why God picked Trump to save the world.  And it had nothing to do with being a good boy who followed the Ten Commandments, went to church every Sunday, and obeyed all the church rules of worship to earthly terrestrial figures.  No, it is because Donald Trump, the current President, and who has been for many years now psychologically dared to be something that few in the history of the world have had the guts to be, and that is to rise to the greatness of Heaven that God always intended for the humans he created.  And because Trump dared to rise above the station of humanity and its meekness, he has been rewarded in many ways and put in place to do all the great things we are now seeing. 

When God asked for Adam in the Garden, he couldn’t find him because his first man hid in the woods to cover his nakedness. God asked him why.  “How do you know you’re naked, Adam? Who told you thus?”  After some coaxing, Adam blamed it on Eve, his woman, and revealed that the lowly serpent had tricked them into eating from the knowledge of good and evil.  And that they were no longer qualified to reside in the Heavenly garden, and the cherubim cast them out and prevented them from returning.  The same cherubim  atop the Ark of the Covenant kept ordinary people from gazing into it to read the Ten Commandments for themselves.  The use of fear to keep ordinary people from seeing reality is a common theme in the Bible, and it’s not for God as if the rules were intended to be followed, but that they were designed to provoke in humanity a lofty disposition toward the preservation of Heaven on Earth as God created it.  These problems would arise again throughout the Bible but would most culminate in what I consider to be the two biggest sins noted in the Bible: the failures of King David and his son, King Solomon.  Even after all that God did to forgive them and prop them up with riches and power on earth, they both fell short because of their insecurity with women and did not live up to the lofty goals God intended for them.  Israel would never rise again to its former glory because God punished his chosen people for their meekness, the greatest sin that there is.

In King David’s condition, it was when he plotted to kill the husband of a woman he was watching bath, and he wanted her for herself, Bathsheba.  David had many wives and could have had any woman he wanted.  But he wanted this one who was married to a military man whom David had control over.  So David plotted his death to marry the woman, and all kinds of problems arose because of this scheme.  God wasn’t happy and decided that David wasn’t qualified to build a temple on earth to represent Heaven’s presence, so he left it to David’s son, Solomon.  King Solomon had wisdom, women, and wealth; God put it all at his feet.  But Solomon found maintaining all his wives difficult, and he built temples for their crazy gods, too.  And it upset God, Yahweh, so much so that God told Solomon that his kingdom would end with his death and be split in two by his sons.  And that Israel would never recover, which it never has.  But the sin was not so much in following God’s instructions, just as Moses had to be pushed into doing his great deed of freeing the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt only to stagger in front of the giants of Canaan because they doubted that God would give them a victory over such a terrible foe.  So they were punished with 40 years in the wilderness for doubting in themselves that God would grant them protection.  For that doubt, they were punished.  So, we see the trend in the Bible that God expects his chosen people to rise above and push forward and not fail to meekness. 

When Jesus said upon the cross, “My god, my God, why have you forsaken me,” many interpret that as the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy.  But it’s just another abandonment of God of those he put his hand on who fell short in life and did not rise to the occasion and stand against the tide of evil.  It was the meek who interpreted the act as a sacrifice to wash away the sins of humanity, when in truth, God was always God, and he wanted to defeat his foes in the world who were trying to destroy his concepts of Heaven on Earth and that humans would be his direct representatives in this dimensional reality.  And yes, of course, I get a lot of nasty looks when I say this, and I certainly did at that dinner.  That kind of talk rocks the foundation of everything people want to believe about their relationship with God.  But with Trump, he didn’t back down and surrender his ego to meekness.  And no matter how much the world persecuted him, he kept fighting and never surrendered himself to the naked truth of existence.  Trump didn’t hide behind a tree.  It might have taken him three wives to figure it out, but he learned not to look out the window and plot the death of other women’s husbands.  There are better things to do.  And he didn’t let a woman distract him from the pursuit of building Heaven on Earth.  Through his companies, Trump has tried to develop his idea of Heaven in all his buildings and golf courses with an elevated sense of human accomplishment.  And when an assassin’s bullet missed as it did in July of 2024, God spared Trump by the literal grace of God.  When Trump was put before his version of Pontius Pilate, he didn’t say, “You have said so, that I am the son of God, the Messiah.”  Instead, Trump said, “Yeah, so what of it? I’m your president, and I’m coming for you next.”  And finally, God had someone who wouldn’t hide his nakedness in the Garden.  And wouldn’t blame women for his shortcomings.  And he endeavored to elevate himself above the standard, meek and weak, and to lead others to their lofty exploits.  And to the way I look at things, God was finally happy with someone who dared to trust that God had his back and would behave with divine understanding.  And would not hesitate to attack the Land of Canaan, filled with ancient giants that far outnumbered them.  Trump gets it, and God is happy about it.  And that happiness we are all feeling after this 2024 election.  That’s what I said anyway, and all my dinner guests got up and left and refused to speak to me for the heresy.  But deep down inside, they all know I’m right.  So I paid the check and went back to my books.  Truth isn’t what we want it to be; it is what it is.  In this case, it requires audaciousness, which God wants, to be seen.  Based on a straightforward reading of the biblical text, the greatest sin in the world is in striving to be a loser when God tried to inspire humans to greatness, to be representatives of Heaven on Earth.  And it takes a lot of courage to do so.

Why Trump Won: Brand building is the key to establishing and maintaining relationships

So many important lessons can be learned from the Trump election of 2024.  But, the reason Trump won has yet to be talked about much.  The assumption is that Elon Musk came in at the last minute, after the assassination attempt in July, and put many millions of dollars into Trump’s campaign as the world’s richest man.  But to assume that, you would have to believe that money wins elections and that those who raise the most money and spend it will win the election.  Of course, the media, which sells ads and makes its money off politics during elections, wants everyone to think that.  But it wasn’t true.  Kamala Harris spent on her 2024 campaign 1.5 billion dollars and ended up, at the end of it, millions of dollars in debt.  She spent more than she had, which was a lot.  Who in their right mind gave her money who had that kind of money?  I could have told them they were wasting their time.  Wait, come to think of it, I did tell them.  But they didn’t listen.  Reports say that Trump spent much less than that, hovering around the 1 billion dollar mark, which is what many think it takes to run for president these days, but I’m not even sure that is the case.  But the bottom line is that Kamala spent a lot of money and didn’t move the needle in any kind of positive direction.  So why?  That’s the most critical question.  If Trump and Kamala spent even more money, why did the money spent work more for one, not the other?  So you can’t say that Elon Musk bought Trump the election, that would not be accurate. Instead, something much more important happened, and Trump did a masterful job at it, as we would all expect. 

A person’s brand is one of the most essential attributes of their personality; it’s how people come to know you and what they think of you when you aren’t around them anymore.  In everything you do in life, you must build your brand and use it to gain cooperation from your peers.  I have a very strong brand presence on many fronts.  For instance, I was having a fancy dinner with many people with strong opinions about my brand.  We were all ordering dessert, and the people with us at this dinner were from all over the world.  So I ordered a cake with many special effects to demonstrate how extraordinary the desserts were at this dinner and encourage our guests to be a little daring.  After all, I figured my brand was so good that I could handle a little wildness.  So I ordered a special cake, which came out with dry ice spewing everywhere. A tree made of cotton candy came out on top of it.  Those combinations of things made my dinner guests laugh because of the contrasts.  They were not very “manly” things to do and seemed like something they would never expect coming from me.  But that’s also why the Trump Dance works for Trump at rallies; it contrasts his tough guy image.  That image is his brand, and it’s how people learn the nature of the values of the advocate.  Without a brand image to maintain, my ordering the cake and the reaction to it would have just been about food.  But I made it into something else to advance why we were having the dinner together in the first place, as a team-building event that people would not soon forget. 

Trump has been one of the best in the world at building and applying brands.  His family name, Trump, is recognized worldwide and establishes quality and luxury for those who see it.  Trump built the brand over a long period and, about ten years ago, decided to use it to put America on its back and to Make America Great Again.  When people saw the Trump Brand anywhere in the 80s and 90s, they think of wealth and luxury, which is a way for Trump to take The Power of Positive Thinking and apply it to wealth generation.  So when Trump decided to run for office in 2015, he just brought his brand with him and beat Hillary Clinton based on the strength of his brand, as he spent a fraction of the money most campaigns would to win such a high office.  When he disrupted the system and everyone in the world came after him, Trump used his brand to rise above the critics in a way only his extensive, positive brand would have allowed.  Like my story about the cake, if you have a strong brand, you can provoke much action that either supports or contrasts it.  For my dinner guests, expecting an uncompromising gunslinger to shoot anybody who does injustice is a sharp contrast to sitting there eating a chocolate cake with pink cotton candy all over the top.  Showing such a moment of comparison within my brand earns trust because it contrasts my customary behavior.  But without the brand, there wouldn’t be any opinions or jokes to evolve a dialogue of trust that was needed for such a moment.  On a much larger scale, Trump used his brand to carry the lofty goal of Making America Great Again into a value system people felt they could invest in.  And they did.

One of my favorite campaign items from the 2024 election is a Trump 2024 switchblade.  I obtained it under unusual conditions, and it was undoubtedly one of the best souvenirs of Trump I had ever seen during the election.  Trump’s name was on everything, from knives to hats to shirts, flags, glasses, anything and everything.  And that was because Trump had built a brand that gave value to obtaining those items.  That Trump knife would be just another knife if it didn’t have Trump 2024 written on it.  On the other hand, Kamala spent a lot more money trying to create an impression, but her brand didn’t have roots in which people could invest.  So, as she tried to make an impression on voters, she did not have a brand that people could understand and invest in.  Nobody was rushing out to buy a Harris hat or shirt.  But people were flocking to buy a Trump hat.  They couldn’t make enough of them.  And in the end, that is what ended up mattering most.  Even though Elon Musk spent hundreds of millions of dollars on the MAGA movement and Trump himself, it was Trump who built a brand worth investing in.  Without the brand, the money was tossed to the wind like drunk gamblers in a casino late at night. The brand allows people to invest in the person who built it, for better or worse.  But once you have the brand, you can use it to sell ideas to people who have enough rooting to grab on and take action.  And the Democrats, they didn’t do any of that.  They tried to create impressions but had no substance behind their brand to sell an idea.  That caused them to toss much money at the effort only to have it wasted because there was no brand worth investing in.  So the ideas that Democrats had couldn’t be sold to a public so empty that they’d buy any impression.  When it came to Trump, people bought into a brand he had built for over 4 decades, and he put it all at risk to become president.  And as a result, the brand outlasted the attempts to destroy it.  Now, with that brand value, America can do as Trump’s brand indicates: to Make America Great Again.  When people see that term, they think of quality, wealth, and tenacity.  And the nation can rally to the cause because a brand can sell the idea and sustain the results.  Rather than just creating more false impressions that people have become long weary of.  And this will be the case for politics over the coming century.  It’s not enough to spend money. Instead, the money has to have a brand that people want to invest in and make it their own.

We Need More Kids: Birthrates need to increase dramatically

I haven’t let myself get too encouraged by Elon Musk’s “Occupy Mars” campaign.  He’s been excited about it for more than three decades now, and he has made himself a multi-billionaire, with the projection to become the first trillionaire not for the love of money and fame that comes with such enterprises but simply because he wants to bring science fiction, that he loved as a kid, to reality through engineering excellence.  I didn’t think he had much chance until this last election, and I’m glad he did what he had to do to see his vision through.  It wasn’t enough to be one of the world’s greatest inventors.  I remember the stories of Edison, who was incredibly late in life trying to solve the riddle of manufacturing rubber for the upcoming car industry, which was a real problem.  What Edison never solved was the politics of the matter.  And, of course, Edison’s employee, Tesla, had all kinds of great ideas about energy and how it could be distributed.  Edison’s method won out because it required infrastructure, the government could manage it, and unionized employees could stick themselves right in the middle of the whole thing and give us the uninventive mess we have today.  Seldom do good ideas break through to the kinds of frontiers that Elom Musk is about to enjoy because he moved his politics toward the winning Trump administration, which is about to unload on the world all the best that science fiction could give us.  A significant boom to the aerospace markets for which SpaceX will be able to do all it ever thought about and more.  Suddenly, going to Mars and colonizing it is very viable, with real economic value coming directly from it, and it will all be very exciting.  I’m officially a major supporter of the Occupy Mars movement.  It is the most exciting thing we can do as human beings.

But a math problem has been at the heart of all our politics for centuries now.  The responsibility for adventure or the sacrifice to higher powers is at the heart of earth worship.  So, our next technical objective to overcome is not the engineering feats of getting to Mars, colonizing it, and terraforming the planet to restore it to a vibrant place that was likely full of life.  The problem now is with human beings being able to wrap their minds around the whole effort, and for that, I have found myself obsessed with reexamining King Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem and studying all the vast tunnels under the city and understanding the importance of the most contested piece of real estate on planet earth.  Because I’m one of those people who think the evidence all adds up to Jerusalem being necessary to the seeding of Earth from a distant point in history, more than 10,000 years ago, and the cave under the Holy of Holies which is now concealed by the Dome of the Rock under Islam control was there long before Abraham went to that spot to kill his son Isaac in a sacrifice to God.  I think we are about to make a series of earth-shattering discoveries that date many of these things to much longer than we typically measure them, and the ramifications will indeed be jarring to all involved.  That’s all part of the adventure.  Because what’s important here is at the heart of most of the world’s problems, do you advance life through sacrifice, as they did at that Temple?  Or do you advance life through science and thought?  The new incoming Trump administration will rule through thought.  He, Trump, has been given a divine mandate to fight back against the forces of evil that have held back the human race for many thousands of years.  And it’s going to get untangled over this next Trump term. 

That leaves us to talk about birthrates.  We have needed them to increase for several years.  We have a culture that has openly sought to cheapen life, to kill their babies much the way the ancient Canaanites did to their Mesopotamian Gods, especially Baal, who is the real villain of the Bible.  Baal, the dominating god of nature, is in constant combat with Yahweh, the God of the Hebrew people and author of the Ten Commandments.  One group wanted to kill their kids to prop up the sentiment to their deity of choice, the nature-worshipping cultures of Baal or the self-fulfilling, creative cultures of Yahweh.  We need many more children on Earth to migrate human beings into space, and that is considering the massive amount of AI that will be required.  We are talking about the plot of the movie Blade Runner here, the morality of the nature of life itself, and whether or not robots will have human rights as a form of intelligence.  These are significant issues, but the bottom line is that if we want to put 1 million people on Mars by the very near date of 2050, which we do, just 25 years from now, then we have to change a lot of our life policies from what they have been to what they need to be.  We need many more families having many more kids than they have been, and they need to have fun doing it. 

We need to get back to the birthrates of the past, where families often had five or more kids all the time.  My grandparents lived during such a time.  My grandmother was a twin, and her mom had so many kids that they traded them like baseball cards.  “Hey, I have an extra one of these. Do you want one.”  A family member took her brother because my grandmother’s family had way more kids than they could afford to take care of themselves.  Some of these families had more than ten kids each.  This kind of Western expansion mentality is essential to human growth stages, and we need to exceed even that in the next few years to expand human life into space the way we need to.  Depressing that ambition is simply a held sentiment to the old Baal worship of the Canaanites and other sacrificial cultures around the world.  Our low birthrates of today are caused by social sentiment toward earth worship, to keep humans attached to their mother, and not to grow up healthy and independent as a culture of adventurers.  But to cleave close to mother in an unhealthy way that stifles us permanently, and ultimately destroys our species for the good of the planet, and views humans as a virus upon that mother which needs to be destroyed.  Ultimately, human growth into space is to settle that long-residing dispute in Jerusalem. Do we kill our kids to sever the jealous whims of a broken-minded deity, or do we have lots of kids and treasure them all as representatives of human consciousness and the perpetuation of the creative spirit of humanity into everlasting life born from the earth, but to settle the cosmos on a series of many adventures that was the point all along.  And to that, I say, “Occupy Mars!”

Jill Biden Has Eyes For Trump: What could have been if only she had the courage

For good reason, there has been a lot of talk about that picture with Jill Biden and Trump at Notre Dame.  With her daughter, Ashley Biden, sitting next to her, the camera caught a moment that Jill revealed a lot in just a look.  And wonderfully, Trump turned it into a new body fragrance ad.  But there is a lot to talk about that is essential here.  Here was Jill Biden, an older woman now, with a daughter who had been sexually abused by her father, gazing at a man who was authentic and unlike anything they had ever met; even though, as First Lady, she had met some of the world’s most brilliant and influential people.  There was nobody in her life like Trump—a conqueror who had defeated her husband in the last election.  Being close to the same age, Biden seemed so much older, whereas Trump was almost childlike, and ambitious.  That look by Jill to Trump, who was sitting next to her at the re-opening of the Notre Dame cathedral, has the kind of flirty look that a 4th-grade girl might have before her first kiss.  Many wonder why that was and what she would see in Trump to provoke such a gaze.  And is it that rare in the world for political enemies to put aside their differences for just a minute and enjoy each other?  The answer is obviously “yes,” but it brings up something that is a long and desperate yearning in the human race, and that is the female quest for the best that they can get as a sexual partner based on the fantasies of attraction, which everyone is hard-wired for.  Yet life and its quality come down to a person’s choices, and women often find themselves victims of bad decisions.  And even after a lifetime of them, that innocent girlish smile of first experiences never gets old.

Like many women, Jill Biden had men come and go in her life.  It is entirely possible that she had never met a person like Trump.  There are other men like Trump in the world, very confident, self-assured people who are conquerors in their own right over their destinies, and women tend to love such men for all that they can be and to fulfill the fantasy of using sexual power to have a relationship with one.  But often, it takes personal courage to even entertain such an antisocial relationship, because the rules of society are meant to favor the losers of the world.  And for men, many of our social rules have come about with the expectation that it would allow them to be louses and perform poorly in the world.  So, when a woman meets a man who does not function from such rules, she is going to feel the joy of such elation even if she has been associating with the world’s top people from a social perspective and has acquired the highest social status that a human being could ever hope for.  And it’s highly likely, because of her terrible choices throughout her life, that she had never met a man like Trump.  Because it takes courage to do so, and most women turn away from those opportunities early in their life, yielding to the pressures of social acceptance.  As sad as it is, loser husbands like Joe Biden, who took inappropriate showers with his daughter, and permanently damaged her psychologically, are expected in this world.  Probably because of the kind of social circles that Jill Biden functioned in her entire life, she only met men who would do such a thing and think it okay.

Trump, on the other hand, has had to learn how to beat down all the female advances that come his way.  And it took most of his life to learn to do so.  But yes, when you are an unconquered spirit, you are the fantasy of almost every woman, and that is a power that must be managed carefully.  It can be very tempting to yield to every whim for the affections of a woman who wants to make a lasting impression for a night, a day, a week, or years.  It’s a primal passion that comes from more than just smelling good.  But Trump understands the power of a picture like that and has smartly had fun with it to take the edge off reality, “Buy my new cologne, Fight, Fight, and it will win over your enemies.”  But the truth is that Jill was thinking about all the losers in her life and was wondering if she could even taste such a man for a fleeting second with her husband gone in an exciting city at a place of history, even at her age.  Turn off the cameras.  Get a room someplace.  Could she have such a moment with an unconquered man?  A man who had the entire world try to destroy him, and he bravely brushed away all the danger to sit there next to her, a hero, the most admired man in the world.  And the most hated.  Yet he didn’t feel the pressure to yield to the hate.  Oh, what a look Jill Biden let loose in front of her sexually abused daughter, an abused country, and a world under the thumb of tyranny to think of stealing away a kiss while his wife was not with him. 

It’s not like this would be the first time with Jill.  She left her first husband after he wrote Joe Biden one of his first campaign checks for elected office.  Like most women who find they can use sex to gain power, she jumped from one man to another because Joe looked like he was going to be a winner.  He drove sports cars and was rising in politics, so she left her husband and ran off with Joe.  And likely, she has thought of doing the same thing with many other men over the years.  As a result, she has only known evil men her entire life and never met someone like Trump until that moment in Notre Dame.  And like the long-repressed school girl wondering if the guy she liked might kiss her and that her entire life might be changed at that moment, she joined the millions of other women who have made the same dumb mistakes, and that was to join with just another, average, loser man.  Joe Biden was President of the United States.  He was head of a crime family that sold influence with elected office, going back to selling his office as a senator and Vice President.  But to Jill, he was just another used-up, broken man falling asleep on the beach, waiting to die.  And there was Trump, full of life.  He had beautiful things around him and had the world dancing to his every move. Yeah, she wanted to kiss him. To run away with him.  To undo all her life’s missteps and throw them away for just a moment of impropriety with Trump.  And she couldn’t hide the thought from her face.   Many women secretly go through the same process.  They look on the couch and see their beat-up, lazy husbands hiding behind the feminist movement because they are too lazy to be good.  They become victims to the times and then declare that the day’s fashion is to yield to their women and do whatever they say.  But Trump is his own man, and a few others out there think the same way.  And most women, in some way, wish they could access one.  But most, especially Jill Biden, never had the courage to go on such an adventure in her youth.  And now, as an older woman with all the best things in her life behind her, she could only wonder what could have been.

The Lion King Goes to Notre Dame: Deposing the global villians and restoring a king

I was very excited to see President Trump represent America at the re-opening of the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris.  I have a personal relationship with that cathedral, and I wasn’t sure if I’d ever get to see it again.  When it was burnt down by what we now know were radical Islamic terrorists, not an electrical short as we had been told, I was furious because I had just gone on a trip there with my family to visit the historical site, and we witnessed up close and personal just how radicalized Paris had become as we walked the distance from the train station speed train from London through all the neighborhoods to the historic site.  We saw the radicalism up close, so it was no surprise that a year after we visited, Notre Dame, like several other catholic churches, was burnt to the ground over a holy war provoked by some of the world’s worst characters barely concealed behind polite society.  I had been following the restoration of the cathedral closely, and when Trump won the election and it was reported that he would be attending the re-opening, it was more than satisfying considering all that had happened.  But as I watched him arrive and take his seat, with all eyes upon him, spying a gaze upon the world’s most powerful person, I couldn’t help but think of a couple of popular Disney movies for the context of what we were seeing.  Usually, when he is thought about, Trump is considered a lion more than an elephant of the Republican party.  So Simba from The Lion King came to mind as the only proper reference.  Then, of course, there are the various Hunchback of Notre Dame movies that are so much a part of our entertainment culture.  But the way the world looked at Trump at that event was like a king returned very much following the plot of The Lion King, and suddenly Trump was there, as was a restored representation of Western civilization.  And it was very satisfying.

I had been very vocal when the cathedral was burnt down. I made my opinion public with written articles and told anybody who wanted to listen or interview me, what I thought.  My family visited in 2017, and we bonded with the place historically. I felt the attack was a personal affront to me and Western civilization as a whole.  And I got into a lot of trouble professionally over the Notre Dame incident.  Several people went for my jugular because they thought the world was going to become a progressive monstrosity and that they were going to cancel culture me out of existence for insisting that radical Islamic terrorists were responsible for the violence in Paris.  After all, we had seen it firsthand.  As a family, we walked over 15 miles all over Paris, so we weren’t reporting helicopter opinions about the place.  But those were the early stages of woke cancel culture, and it was stunning that I was made a target over saying the obvious, and that didn’t go over well.  My anger was further entrenched.  Of course, I survived it all, and the people who did all they did to me are no longer around, and I can only say they did it to themselves.  I tried to warn them, but they didn’t listen.  When you play hardball, the ball hurts when you get hit with it, and I threw it back with some juice.  However, like the Lion King movie and famous stage play, which I have seen many times, Trump was a character very similar to Simba and would soon be cast out as an exile.

Before we visited Notre Dame, back in London, there were protests against Trump outside of Parliament by Big Ben, and the world was seeking to overthrow President Trump’s American influence over globalism.  We would, of course, watch over the next few years as the American-lettered agencies working with scandalous characters on the world stage plotted the demise of President Trump and threw him out of office with the same kind of flair that Scar killed the father Mufasa in The Lion King to the now famous soundtrack of Hans Zimmer, to theatrical effect.  With one of the great symbols of Western civilization destroyed and an American president overthrown through massive election fraud, things were not looking good in the world.  And we all know the story of The Lion King, as Scar took over the tribe, represented here by Joe Biden and his band of globalist insurgents and Chinese connections, things went downhill quickly.  The world started drowning in inflation and terrifying woke policies.  And all look hopeless for a long time.  But like The Lion King, the castaway exile, Simba learned to be a king, and eventually, he would return and depose Scar and get revenge for what had happened to his tribe. And the return would be triumphant and celebrated, just as it was when Trump returned to the fully restored Notre Dame cathedral.  The cathedral and the American presidency had been targeted for attack and destruction as the enemies of the world plotting the doom of Western civilization itself with diabolical plots of evil and mayhem.  And like Scar, they thought they had won the throne forever.  But those dreams shattered once the king returned.

There were periods over the last few years when I thought we’d never see anything good again.  After the burning down of Notre Dame and the way many progressive elements, already significantly entrenched in the United States, were behaving towards a progressive plot over the demise of all Western civilization, I figured it was all coming to an end.  I remember thinking at a checkpoint during Covid, where I was fully ready for a shootout with authorities over an unconstitutional search and seizure event, that this was how it all ended.  Luckily, when I told the authorities that they were smoking crack if they thought what they were doing was legal, they didn’t push it because they knew they were in the wrong during the Covid lockdowns.  And nobody had to draw guns and fire at each other.  But it got close.  I was the only one on the roads for about three weeks in March of 2021, and I had decided I wouldn’t put up with Scar running the world I was living in.  Like Rafiki in The Lion King, I cheered on the king’s return as the best solution, and that is precisely what happened.  And Trump made a triumphant return to Notre Dame as the world who plotted the demise of him and all of us looked on with sudden admiration.  Trump was the celebrity the world wanted, even the bad guys, and it took all this for them to realize it.  And suddenly, the King returned from exile, and the great cathedral was restored. Then, the world looked a whole lot better.  Happy endings are real, and that Notre Dame event was proof of it. As scary as it was, we’ve seen it before in our fantasies, like the story of The Lion King.  We have all lived through it, being taken over by our version of Scar, the villain.  And the world suffered terribly while Simba was in exile.  But after a triumphant return, the world watched with happiness and gazed upon the king as he returned to lead Western civilization forward in ways nobody previously thought possible.  And the world was suddenly a much better place.

All Trump’s Picks Should Easily Get Confirmed: Democrats don’t have the political capital to take a stand

You must understand that this pushback against Trump’s cabinet picks is purely the swamp defending itself from change. Primarily driven by the same media that tried to insert Kamala Harris as a president.  The final results are that all of Trump’s picks will be approved, and the drama will die quickly in the coming weeks.  But we have to understand what kind of game is being played here; it’s the same high school game of popularity that Democrats and global communists try to apply to every social effort.  If you challenge their static order, you might be called a name.  Or they may not like you, and everyone likes to be liked.  So they use that trend against the incoming President Trump, in this case, to let him know that the Senate is in charge, which, in essence, is the desired belief of the media companies who are run by those financial globalists who want to think they are in charge of everything.  And that public sentiment can rule over their enemies with an iron fist.  This belief is that the Senate will be essentially 50/50 down the middle and that if only a few Republicans peel away as RINOs and stop Trump’s picks from being confirmed, such as Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel, that they will be able to preserve their corrupt Beltway culture.  That notion is a fantasy because many other factors will go into the Senate confirmations, and it should be expected that all of Trump’s picks will quickly get confirmed without much controversy.  Because behind the defense mechanisms of the SWAMP itself is a grim reality: we are a Republic, not a flea-bitten democracy of social butterflies controlled by the popular kids in school.  Quickly, the tough-talking senators who desire to work against Trump will find that the real pressure on their votes will come from public disclosure, not a protection of the Beltway by those who have most corrupted it. 

For instance, let’s review the confirmation of the very corrupt and controversial Merrick Garland for Attorney General.  He won his confirmation easily with a 70-30 vote, meaning a lot of Republicans, many of the same names being mentioned now peeling away from Trump, voted with the Biden administration to give Democrats a fair shake of opinion under the “advise and consent” decree of Constitutional necessity.  And that is generally how it goes in all confirmations.  There aren’t many more controversial than that one, but there were around 20 senators who were willing to give Biden a fair shake, even if they disagreed with the President politically.  They wanted to show the incoming administration and other senators that they were willing to work with the other side to get things done for the American people.  At least by appearance.  They were the minority party essentially and did not feel they could dig in and take a stand against the presidential picks of a political change state.  So Merrick Garland sailed through without much of a hitch.  Most of these senators believe that it is their job to ask questions in public and provide an extra level of scrutiny that might otherwise go unnoticed.  However, they do not feel validated enough to stop a presidential administration from the start, but they feel it’s in their best interest to give the appearance to the public and the president of a willingness to work with everyone for the good of the Republic.  Most of them like being senators, and they don’t want to be thrown out at the next election because, ultimately, they must represent the general opinion of the public, not their personal desires. 

So the media is telling us that not one Democrat is going to vote for any of Trump’s picks and that a few RINO Republicans can completely derail President Trump’s incoming administration.  But the truth is, there are likely a lot of Democrats who will want to vote for Trump’s picks for all the same reasons that Republicans have done so in the past.  And by the time all the smoke clears, it won’t even be close.  And here’s why it is essential to understand this: because what’s been going on is a kind of Saul Alinsky control over the election process for far too long, and it has prevented us in the past from doing what needed to be done because we thought the media and other influencers had a lot more power than they actually had.  But they don’t have much power, really, in the end.  And once you buckle for one of these picks, like the blood in the water was with Matt Gaetz for Attorney General, then the bad guys will think they can character assassinate all the Trump picks and get away with it, such as with Robert Kennedy, who will be very controversial for Senators to consider.  But ultimately, they won’t have a choice.  Most of them have taken a lot of money from Big Pharma, and voting for Kennedy will be hard for them.  However, Republicans and Democrats know that there needs to be significant system reform and that only Kennedy can do it.  Otherwise, they will get wrapped up in all the bad COVID news that’s coming soon, including who knew what and when. And how much damage everyone up front knew the bioweapon of Covid was going to be as it was unleashed from China along a very purposeful trajectory.  Plenty of senators understood the situation and didn’t want to be on the wrong side of history, so they will vote for Kennedy so they wouldn’t be associated with stonewalling a criminal investigation that isn’t going away.  Especially after Brad Wenstrup’s Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Report that is coming out now.  (Don’t say I didn’t tell you all this years ago.  It’s all coming out and a lot of people are in a lot of trouble, as they should be) 

Trump was very popularly elected, and many Democrat Senators are trying to hold seats in states that Trump won.  So, while media leaks might try to show resistance to Trump popularity within their party politics when it comes time to put a vote on paper for the record, things tighten up considerably.  And none of the Trump picks are crazy like many of the Biden picks were, where cross-dressing freakshows were presented with more than a tongue in cheek, and the expectation to vote for them was hard pressed. Otherwise, those senators would be accused of standing in the way.  Many Republicans didn’t want that guilt by association, so they voted to confirm.  And there will be a lot of Democrats in the same boat, especially now that they are in the minority.  They don’t have the numbers to run an insurrection. Otherwise, their minority status will only increase in the negative direction.  The discussion we are having ahead of the confirmation hearings is just a hopeful fantasy of the Beltway SWAMP creatures hoping to stave off reform for as long as possible.  However, the Trump picks are all top of their field types and have a lot of media experience, so they won’t give any senators an easy way to vote no. However, the temptation to vote for confirmation will be pressure from the public to hold a seat on the record against a very popular president.  And nobody wants that.  Who thinks that John Fetterman won’t vote to confirm Trump’s picks?  He’s not the only Democrat Senator looking to survive the Trump presidency.  So, in the end, the few RINO Republicans who are left in the Senate are not going to be able to control the agenda.  It’s all too big for them, and that realization will hit everyone soon.  People are going to realize that we have been a Republic all along.  And being a representative is what matters most, not personal radicalism and ideology.

The Rejection of Freakshow Politics: Democrats had Joe Rogan, and they lost him because they had terrible messaging

There is a lot of talk by Democrats about what could have been in their messaging that could have caused them to win during this last election cycle.  And with Hunter Biden getting his pardon, one that everyone saw coming, there is a belief that he, or some other Democrat, could run a podcast to compete with Joe Rogan and that if only they had someone as popular on the left, they could sell their message.  Well, here’s the deal: Democrats lost because they made themselves the “Freakshow Party,” the political party of broken toys from Misfit Island, and their messaging was terrible.  When Biden was given power by a rigged election provoked by a manufactured Covid virus released from a lab in China to cause a coup in the United States, the first thing he did was put a gay guy like Major Pete on his cabinet and Ralph Levine for Assistant Secretary for Health and Head of the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps as well as Health and Human Services, as a crossdresser right out of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.  Biden’s people were caught having gay sex and filming it in public buildings, and they fully expected to shut down anybody’s negative opinions on the matter, forcing many to count down the days until these losers were voted out of office.  And a lot of people couldn’t wait to vote against the Biden administration because of the Freakshow they put on and expected everyone to accept.  No amount of any podcast could justify the audaciousness of how Democrats positioned themselves for the 2024 election.  They can’t sell something to people that they don’t want to buy, and that is apparently new news to them.  But they should have listened because I have been telling them that for a long time. 

As to Joe Rogan, they had him.  I’ve said about Joe Rogan that he was too liberal for me.  He voted for Biden and Obama and has only now been a Trump supporter.  The same with Elon Musk and many other Democrats who converted to the Republican Party in the wake of the assassination attempt against Trump in July of 2024.  I didn’t listen to the Joe Rogan podcast because he was a devoted Democrat, and I don’t have time in my life for people like that.  I only paid attention to him because he was moving toward Trump in the closing days of the 2024 election. After all, the Democrats were so embarrassing.  So, if the Republican Party was going to go into a big tent party, I was happy to hold open the flap to that tent to fill it with as many people as possible.  But this notion that if only Democrats had their version of Joe Rogan is ridiculous.  Because they had him.  As well as owning most of the media culture that there is.  People turned away from Democrats because they became the party of the Freakshow; they abused their relationship with everyday people to such an extent that they pushed people away.  And that is something they didn’t think would happen.  When people like AOC in Congress seem normal and rational, the Democrats have a big problem, and people are going to turn away from them just by association.  Democrats thought they could abuse their relationship with people, just as most corporations these days also believe because they feel like communists who can live in a bubble without competitive ideas to challenge them and come to the conclusions within their little world that they are all there is. 

They should have seen the writing on the wall when they mistreated their people, like Musk and Joe Rogan, for being critical of the Democrat party when they should have been listening.   With Rogan, the political left tried to cancel culture him for doing a podcast where anti-vaxers were on to talk about COVID-19, and the left tried to damage Rogan’s deal with Spotify.  I can tell everyone here that I went through all kinds of problems, especially with Spotify and YouTube, so I can understand Rogan’s situation because he had real money at stake in the protests.  But it was essentially an anti-free speech message that Democrats had, their modern version of the Berlin Wall.  Communists cannot afford competition with capitalist markets, and ultimately, when you have the wealthiest guy in the world on your side, but you are attacking the kind of world that made him rich in the first place, you are setting yourself up for a significant loss.  Elon Musk pays more taxes than any person on planet Earth, and Democrats just kept asking for more.  It’s like a husband who continues to keep cheating on his wife, and she stays with him for as long as she can take it, then decides one day, no more.  And she finally leaves.  And she should go if he’s not respecting her.  That’s what the Democrats did to their people, like Joe Rogan, Elon Musk, Robert Kennedy, Tulsi Gabbard, and many others.  There were a lot of Democrats, especially union members, who voted for Trump in this last election because the message was better from Republicans.  Democrats took it for granted that their platform was so powerful that they could shame people into voting for a Freakshow, a bunch of sexual deviants, and crack addicts with an addiction to all kinds of problems.  And presenting those kinds of people to the world was a winning strategy.

Ultimately, this problem is one I have been pointing out for a long time.  I write on this site because I know who reads it and why.  I do not write here for the ordinary, everyday person but for the influencers on the frontier of independent journalism, which is where all the action will be in the future.  Traditional media is dying.  Modern media platforms like Truth Social, Gettr, and Elon Musk’s “X” are the future, and the kind of competitive content out there will destroy a weak message.  So, I see my efforts as being very important to that process and an investment on my part to a better world.  For all those who aren’t sure what they can or can’t talk about, I provide a new way of thinking about it in a media culture increasingly driven by artificial intelligence.  And the Democrats showed a complete lack of respect for other people’s opinions over these last eight years, essentially since Trump entered office the first time.  In their desperation, they ran wildly in the other direction toward “freakshow” politics, such as the bearded lady at a carnival or the man with two heads.  And they scared off any fringy supporters they did have who were straddling the fine line between left-of-center politics and the right.  So they lost support because of their strategy, and giving Hunter Biden his own podcast would only accelerate their problems.  And that’s the thing: it is a free world; Hunter Biden could start his podcast tomorrow, just as anybody could.  But would anybody listen or pay attention?  I do it because people do pay attention and listen.  And I see the impact.  But who wants to listen to Hunter Biden?  Who cares about one thing that he says or does?  And how could a person like that move a political party toward success?  The answer is that they can’t, and that’s why Democrats lost.  They embraced the wrong strategy, which probably cost them their party.  As I always say, Democrats can’t win if they don’t cheat.  And that was certainly the case in 2024.  Where it was too big to rig, Democrats couldn’t win because they couldn’t cheat.  And they had no other strategy for winning because their messaging never respected voter opinions.  Only the guilt they could generate from their freakshow politics, which would always fail.

Starting Wars to Control People: It was always the global strategy by secret societies like the Skull and Bones

It’s been a dirty little secret for a long time, but it has been going on since the dawn of human civilization, and we are seeing it come to an end here in 2024.  And that is the strategy of starting wars to control mass society.  Most recently, the example of the secret society, the Skull and Bones at Yale University, is to produce political figures who would keep that trend going to maintain an aristocracy of globalism for which people like John Kerry and the Bushes would support as they moved into political positions.  This is why those forces are in a rush to start more war ahead of President Trump’s next term, because after he’s back in office, there won’t be any tolerance for it.  It’s also why the Deep State fought so hard to get rid of Trump the first time, spending eight years doing everything they could do to pound him out of existence and to ensure that civilian control over the American government would never happen again.  Yet it did, and now the panic is viperous.  Few know it because it is a secret society, but in the lobby of the Skull and Bones building is the word “War” written on the wall as their foundational concept, and it’s how they always planned to rule.  These people never had a desire for world peace.  War was what they used to grab power as a Deep State and to use that power to stay in control.  When we say Deep State, as in the case of the Skull and Bones, it’s the desire to run a government that is beyond the civilian elected government.  Any notation of control that the Skull and Bones have about their role in government is unconstitutional. 

Just as the Bohemian Grove people believe on the West Coast, the idea of a secret society to mold the next generation through hazing rituals to rule in the background was only going to be possible if they gained the ability to start a war in one region, then to push for peace in another.  For instance, consider the protests of the Vietnam War that have had so much documentary evidence to review.  On the one hand, the Deep Staters would push for the expansion of communism into South East China by using war first against Japan to soften up the Chinese to communist attack from the north flowing out of Russia.  Then the sad bell boy, Ho Chi Minh from the Treaty of Versailles monstrosity, poised and angry at the French occupation of their homeland in Vietnam, adopted communism as their calling cry to freedom.  Americans were called into the war by the same globalists who started the war to provoke war protests then and usher in the hippie movement that had communist foundations to open the door in the West for such thinking on America’s college campuses.  None would have happened without the pressure of war to drive social change.  The war wasn’t about freedom in Vietnam; it was about bringing down the West in the same way that communism brought down China.  And China was being built to become the first state of globalism, meant to do the same to the rest of the world, which we see happening today.  China, the creation of the globalist one-world order threatening the world financially and structurally, pushed everyone into communism so that centralized governments could control everything in the background.  Trump was the first Republican to call the bluff card on this mess during his first term when he started putting an end to all these phony wars, especially regarding North Korea.

North Korea was built to be a sympathetic target to draw attention away from China.  As pretty much a useless threat to the world, they would launch their empty missiles out and over the Sea of Japan routinely, as the media would report the antics frantically to the world, hoping to provoke public reaction toward animosity toward the ruler, Kim Jong Un.  And who could forgive what the North Koreans did to the young man from Cincinnati, Otto Warmbier, who was tortured ruthlessly?  Fortunately, Trump saw through all these strategies and ignored the warnings of how dangerous Kim Jong Un was, and reached across the border to shake the young man’s hand and develop a friendship.  Left to their own devices, most people will do terrible things to each other, such as what happened to Otto Warmbier.  And that is actually how the Deep State recruits their people out of organizations like the Skull and Bones, with embarrassing sexual confessions meant to bond members for life, to use the deceitful nature of other human beings to mask their true intentions of a global aristocracy.  Those same rules apply to global politics, and nobody was ever supposed to give a member of the Axis of Evil, as George W. Bush always said of North Korea, a chance to be redeeming.  But what Trump exposed was the phony threat North Korea was to the war, provoking the Deep State to come after him even more vigorously and to attempt to inspire assassination attempts on Trump’s life, just as they did with President Kennedy.  All this mess started with these secret society members, such as Yale’s Skull and Bones, entering politics and bringing with them the philosophy of war to instigate trouble around the world so that they could be the firefighters to put out the fire they started themselves, which was certainly the case over oil in the Middle East.  All while ignoring the massive amounts of oil that were always in the United States and could have killed the enemy with competition and capitalism if they wanted to, and saved many lives and the dismemberment of innocent people.

This brings us to the ending of the Ukraine war, which was phony from day one.  When that war started, provoked by the Biden crime family for many reasons that only helped the Deep State maintain political control over the world, anybody who was flying a Ukrainian flag in the United States was seen as a fool.  People were catching on to this silly game and wanted an end to it.  The Deep State plan was to push Vladimir Putin into a war where he would lose and become the next China, just as Japan had forced China into a weakened position.  With Russia, the attack was to destroy it as a sovereign country.  And the same Deep Staters were trying to convince people that Putin had put Trump in office and that all of them needed to be removed to have a good world.  But the Deep State, run by these secret society losers, went too far, and this process of Trump exposing it shattered the illusion of self-government.  In a somewhat honest election, Trump was re-elected to the White House, and all the wars around the world that had been brewing are suddenly going to have cold water thrown on them all.  And that’s how the Deep State gets destroyed because the only real power they had was just as the Skull and Bones people had, through secrecy and mutual dirty laundry on each other to bond them to villainy.  And start wars to drive the political narrative, allowing them to gain control.  It was a game that suddenly ended in 2024 for the first time in human history.  Secret societies were dedicated to these war-like causes long before the Skull and Bones people came along.  However, this trend extends back to all known times, and it only ended when Trump went back to the White House, backed by a government of people who had expressed control over their government for the first time.

Elon Musk Has Found His Szechuan Sauce: Turning a One to a Zero

Mar-a-Lago has been the center of American politics, as I said it would be on day one of removing Trump from office in 2021, since then.  And it has replaced the White House as the place to be and do business with America.  But what I never thought would happen would be that I would ever see Elon Musk, the wealthiest person in the world and poised to become the first trillionaire, sitting at the big kid’s table on Thanksgiving with the Trump family, President Trump, Barron, and Melania, dancing to the YMCA song.  I thought it was an extraordinary historical event, maybe one of the most significant events ever, and I have seen many things.  For context, this particular Thanksgiving event had been building all this time, since Trump left office, or was pushed out, and was now culminating into this fantastic celebration where so many improbable things emerged in that wonderful moment captured on video with Trump backslapping Musk like a little boy, or dear old friend and having essentially two of the most powerful men in the world be not rivals with each other, but soul mates, and deep friends who know their place in history, and are happy about it.  These kinds of things never go together, and if Trump had not taken that bullet to the face and lived, this Thanksgiving celebration never would have happened.  It only happens in cases such as when Jesus Christ was killed and came back to have dinner with his disciples, a kind of post-death celebration of eternal life.  This is the best Trump we could have hoped to have gotten, and it came with so many improbable resolutions that the world is uniting around Trump for all the reasons that they were all so wrong.  Suddenly, everything reversed course and swung in the other direction.

As I watched Elon Musk sitting there obviously enjoying his newly adopted father, which is what Trump has become to him over these last few months, I was thinking of a Rick and Morty episode that I like a lot where the character Rick Sanchez destroys the entire Federation Government by changing a 1 to a 0 in their galactic financial markets just because Rick wanted to get the dipping sauce from McDonald’s that was part of a Mulan promotion called Szechuan Sauce.  I don’t know if Elon Musk is the most intelligent person on earth, the way that the character Rick Sanchez is the most intelligent human being in the entire universe.  I have known people like Elon Musk regarding intelligence, and if they turned the mirror just a little bit, they could be just as wealthy.  Those kinds of social measures do not seem to matter to Elon Musk.  To him, money is just a tool so he can build and do extraordinary things.  And for the MAGA movement, he has become the replacement for George Soros, who used to fund all those left-leaning causes.  Elon Musk, after that assassination attempt, admired Trump so much that his brilliant mind was able to see something emerging that he needed in his life, and that was to overthrow the kind of government that was keeping his SpaceX company from doing what it needed to do, and that is to carry humanity to space.  This transformation with Elon Musk is something I pointed out almost two years ago when I saw his book recommendation for Johan Norberg called The Capitalist Manifesto: Why the Global Free Market Will Save the World.  I reviewed that book and pointed out at that time that something compelling was happening when a person like Elon Musk was stepping away from the World Economic Forum and stepping in to open support of global capitalism. 

Everyone disagreed with me, and they wanted to argue about why Trump would never be back in office and that Elon Musk was an asset to China because of his relationship with Tesla, making factories there, and having to dance to the strings of the communist government.  He was also the poster boy for Klaus Schwab at the WEF.  I saw this all happening when I was introduced to Vivek Ramaswamy at an event right before the release of his book, Woke Inc., by the wonderful Nancy Nix, Butler County’s fabulous auditor.  Maybe someday Vivek will tell a story about what we discussed, but even then, it was becoming clear to me where the world was heading, and people with their finger on it, like Trump, Vivek, Musk, and others, were crawling out into the light of day.  Books like Vivek’s and Norberg’s could not be written and not shatter an established order because the only reason that order had power was through deceit.  And now people were talking about these kinds of things.  You never know how little things end up becoming big things.  That’s why you do everything. 

And I was the only one saying that the polls were lying and that Kamala was never ahead.  Only Rasmussen was showing a contrary election that showed that Trump could win.  But I was even more aggressive than them because I looked at a more significant trend that nobody else seemed to see, not even Elon Musk.  But once he did see it, as Trump was nearly assassinated, everything from there just clicked into place, and perhaps the most improbable event in all human history happened on Thanksgiving down at Mar-a-Lago with Musk dancing to the famous YMCA song while sitting next to Trump for Thanksgiving Dinner, 2024.  Musk was happy that he found his Szechuan Sauce.

I know the world will catch up, but nobody will see what has hit them in a few years.  The way all this added up to this Thanksgiving event was a change for the entire human race, and it was so good that it almost made up for all the misery we have experienced over the last 8 years.  The first few years of Trump were great, but we learned many ugly truths about our world and its governments that moved out of conspiracy theory and into observable facts.  It happened fast and will continue to accelerate at a mind-bending pace.  And Musk knows it.  He had been trying to solve this engineering problem: how can you make the human race a space-fairing society?  Well, you have to build a political system that can accommodate it, and first, you have to start with world peace.  How can you do that, support the guy who they were trying to kill, and essentially change a 1 to a 0 and collapse their entire world order so that we can get a colony of over a million people on Mars within a few years?  Musk solved his engineering problem, and he found in Trump precisely what he needed, and he was so happy about it that he hadn’t left Mar-a-Lago since the election of 2024.  While everyone was celebrating, we saw just a glimpse of what the world could be, and it was very positive and happening in such a way that nobody saw it coming.  Except for me, nobody called it the way I did out of all the media markets.  And personally, because of all the grief that I took over everything I had been saying and continue to say, seeing Trump and Musk together on Thanksgiving was the best gift I could have received.  In this case, it’s a gift that keeps on being given.   Musk turned the world from a 1 to a 0.  And I love it!

The Velvet Hammer: Life is more like playing poker than we’d like it to be

A lot of people are upset that Trump had a lunch meeting with Mark Zuckerberg at Mar-a-Lago after all that Zuckerbucks had done to cause trouble in the 2020 election and censor people politically on his Facebook platform.  After all, he was one of the most evil people from the past, and here he was, groveling in front of Trump, looking to be a part of the future.  And everyone’s first instinct is that he should be in jail, perhaps worse.  My first reaction was that I would never sit down with an enemy like that.  I tend to hold grudges forever, and I get all the people who do me wrong back for things they’ve done to me or tried to do to me, even if it takes decades.  I never get over anything.  Most people at least think that way, even if, in reality, they tend to be more forgiving.  But then I was reminded that it was just this past week that I was called a Velvet Hammer by a friend of mine.  I tend to tell people to “go to Hell,” where they thank me for the opportunity by the time I’m done with them.  That is something that I have learned to do over time, and I think it comes with any successful experience when it comes to people. You have to really open up the toolbox of communication to deal with a variety of people who all want different things.  My first reaction to being called a Velvet Hammer was that this person was telling me my way of fighting with people was like a woman, which is one of those woke things that we’re not even supposed to consider these days.  But women often don’t fight directly about anything and seldom ever say what they mean.  They might deal with another woman thinking, “You dumb bitch, you’re trying to steal my husband,” when in reality, they say, “We should get a latte at Starbucks sometime.”  Conversely, men would deal with conflict much differently; one moment, they might want to fight in the parking lot, and the next, they are the best of friends sharing eternal bonding.  Men get over things fast, by biological necessity.  But in the business world, with men and women being thrown together like no other time in history, where those elements have to be dealt with in some way, successful people must expand their communication ability to be effective. 

That’s something I have learned over time, which is to develop many ways to communicate with many tools in the toolbox rather than a hammer and chisel to get an idea across to people resistant to it.  In many cases, there are legal parameters that you always have to be aware of, so you can’t say things to people that they could then legally use against you or that culturally violate basic assumptions about work that have been shaped by radical leftist politics and a media culture that leans dramatically to Marxism.  You might feel very strongly about something, but you can’t express it to people who think very differently about it because they don’t have the right kind of mind even to hear what you are saying.  So I have had to learn to express myself to the limits of the people around me, which is why that Velvet Hammer designation came my way because the situation was very delicate, and I did have to tell people to go to Hell while at the same time having them thank me for the experience. 

And naturally, Trump, being at the top of the business world for many years, has had to learn this Velvet Hammer approach.  It is satisfying to tell people what you think of them, just as it is rewarding to punch someone in the face when they’ve done you wrong.  But the playground politics doesn’t translate well into the business world.  Maybe it should; perhaps the world would be better off if people always said what they meant about everything.  But that’s not how humans are wired; there are always subtleties with people, and often, it’s best to keep your enemies close so you can see how they will play their cards.  Life is much more like poker, where the other players are constantly lying to you, than a religious confessional, and to have a relationship with them, which is often necessary, the best way to navigate is through communication methods that are beyond their innate experiences learned from childhood on conflict resolution.  You can still hit them over the head with a hammer, but a little velvet on it helps delay the realization about what you are doing until they’ve given you what you want, and they don’t realize what you are doing to them until it’s too late.  Trump has mastered this technique without question, and that’s what he has been doing with Mark Zuckerberg.  Can he use the dumb kid to good effect, trading jail for reform on his deep past with working with the three-lettered intelligence agencies to bring America down from within?  While people might instinctively want to see Zuckerberg hang, Trump, the intelligent business guy, wonders if there is some way he can profit from the situation Zuckerberg finds himself in, which is the best way to make a good deal for yourself. 

And when you are a winner in your engagements, you can afford to use a Velvet Hammer rather than desperately fighting for your rights to exist.  Having your enemies come to you and grovel at your feet is the best reward.  Zuckerberg is trying to survive in a world he went all in on destroying, and now he has to wake up each day trying to appeal to the people he most hurt.  And what can be learned from his network if he’s allowed to share a bit in that world?  After all, that’s what Mika and Joe Scarborough did from The Morning Joe Show on MSNBC was the same thing Zuckerberg did, and that was to see Trump and grovel in front of him since he had won the election and the right to shape the world from the Executive Branch.  Defeated foes have been boot-licking and groveling like this for thousands of years.  But as the one having their boots licked, the way to get them working in your direction is with a velvet hammer. Not a sledgehammer that crushes them out of existence.  You want to know what people are up to because they seldom reveal it deliberately.  If you want to work with lots of different people who all have other motives, and you want to win them over to your way of thinking, then you have to find a way to get them under control and pointed in the right direction in ways that make it look profitable for them.  In Zuckerberg’s situation, Trump has a full checkmate on him, and everyone knows it.  There is only one path for Zuckerberg and Trump to control it.  So when a business guy gets that kind of leverage over someone, there is a lot more profit for Trump in utilizing it to proper effect than in having the satisfaction of Zuckerberg being hit over the head and having his soul crushed.  Because, at that point, he’s just another useless carcass.  However, making him an asset is why President Trump is rich. He learned how to use the Velvet Hammer, and he does so often.
