Control the Narrative, Control the World: Trump’s Speech in South Dakota

I have been traveling and talking to people who live outside the United States a lot, and many of these conversations have been carrying over to many political insiders who think they have their finger on the pulse of the political sentiment coming up in 2024.  And I’m telling everyone the same thing; they find it hard to believe.  It’s all about Trump in 2024.  And I have assured some very good friends in Japan who care that Trump would be back in the White House, as many Japanese are very concerned with.  The strength of the American dollar is significant to them, and they are looking for financial stability coming out of the leading economy in the world.  It wasn’t hard for me to see, but it was tough to understand for everyone else.  Perhaps I could see why.  As I travel and watch different behavior from so many other people, they are very plugged into various visual media, and much of that media has been hijacked by anti-Trump forces.  So, no wonder they don’t see the truth as it is.  When you turn on the TV or watch streaming video on phones at airports, and the media presented is all Trump-hating because that is the political establishment trying to protect itself from reality, the consumers of that media would have no other way of knowing.  So, to bring everyone up to speed, I keep telling people to go back and watch from mid-September 2024, the Trump speech in Rapid City, South Dakota, and the truth will begin to be very clear to everyone.  Trump is the leading Republican to recapture the White House, and all the insiders know it, even if the public has been slow to understand it, and that speech where Kristi Noam endorsed Trump is an excellent measure of American political reality.

My wife and I are at a place where we can do anything for Friday night entertainment; we could go out to a movie, a fancy dinner, or both.  We could travel anywhere, watching anything on our 10,000 different television stations and streaming services.  Every entertainment option in the world is available to us, but you know what we were most excited about recently: President Trump’s speech from one of our favorite destinations in the entire world, Rapid City, South Dakota which is just a few miles from Mt. Rushmore. Trump was planning to speak that night, so my wife and I ordered in Chinese and looked forward to watching him talk all day leading up to his prime-time delivery.  And it was worth it.  It was the best thing on television, and it was obvious that we weren’t the only people feeling that way.  As usual, Trump had a large crowd, and many people were watching as we were, from one of the many streaming services.  It was well attended, and evident that people love to hear President Trump’s talk.  And with Mt. Rushmore right down the road from the speaking location it was very easy for my wife and I to put ourselves in the heart of the action with our memories of traveling to the region.  When you visit the towns surrounding this part of the world, Rushmore, Deadwood, Sturgis, Wall Drug, just an hour to the east, you see America for what it is, which the rest of the world doesn’t get to unless they know where to look.  If you want to see the pulse of America, just like a patient in a hospital, you don’t check their heartbeat by taking their temperature.  You have to feel the blood moving through the body and for America, that is Rapid City, South Dakota.  Not the den of thieves, Washington D.C. and the New York media market, or Los Angeles.  All that has changed recently. 

I pay attention to all news, even those that I disagree with.  So, I’m not in an isolated bubble.  But these days my favorite news media comes from Gettr streaming services.  It was very recently when I told everyone that the most significant attribute of the 2024 election was that Trump started his own social media organization, Truth Social.  And Gettr, which Trump people created, is also taking off as a significant contributor to the media landscape.  Then of course Elon Musk has realized that he’ll never get to space, or put people on Mars with the kind of Marxist governments that the world has been seduced by, including the Biden administration.  So, he has bought Twitter, turned it into “X,” and is distributing free speech in ways that have never been done before.  The traditional forces are not controlling the media narrative, and people, perhaps for the first time in all human history, have a choice in their media consumption.  Control the narrative, control the world and the old forces just don’t control it any longer.  So, the coverage of this Trump rally in a relatively forgotten part of the world, as South Dakota is, was enthusiastic, to say the least.  But if you weren’t looking for it and were waiting for traditional media to carry it, you wouldn’t know otherwise.  No matter where I am in the world, I stream news off Gettr so I’m seeing what many aren’t yet, so the political trends are emerging quite clearly. 

Many who control those Beltway cultures hope that all this MAGA media is just a fad and that it represents a small part of the political world. Instead, I would say that the key to it is further engagement, the kind of people that traditional media has always overlooked, and never reached in the first place.  To think of someplace like South Dakota as the center of all political discourse is not the popular sentiment.  Yet that is the truth of it. Trump had previously, in 2020, done a spectacular speech there at Mt. Rushmore with Kristi Noam that I thought was one of the most significant political speeches I had ever seen. Ignored mainly by the mainstream outlets, it was fresh on the minds of this most recent one, a return of Trump and Noam on stage together that represented well the way most Americans want to see themselves, as morality-loving capitalists and not the godless heathens of a globalists Marxist movement.  And the entertainment options are so bad these days that even with thousands of other options, the best place to go was on Gettr streaming to watch six hours of Right Side Broadcasting of the Trump event in Rapid City.  Modern media, controlled mainly by Marxist sympathizers have ignored the desires of the media consumers and given them garbage that nobody wanted.  And that is mostly what the world saw who were looking for the headlines.  They don’t understand why the headlines are what they are; they are just passively looking at the contents without understanding how they are formed.  But for those so doing, they naturally are going to be surprised that they are missing the critical stuff altogether so they wouldn’t know how hungry most people are for Trump, a return to patriotism in America, a robust American economy, and an optimistic look at the future instead of some dark hole of globalism rooted in Marxism that doesn’t do any good for people, but is the dream of all the central planners and their utopia of the Administrative State.  People, in general, everywhere in the world, want the MAGA message.  And they are learning to get it with all these new media options, which makes it quite clear.  Trump is poised to win in 2024, even against all the opposition trying to stop him.  Because people finally have a voice, and they are using it.

Ken Paxton Acquitted: Revenge is coming, justifiably so

The Attorney General of Texas, Ken Paxton, has been acquitted of the charges of impeachment levied against him by the former Bush political machine. This should be a lesson that everyone should take note of. The old Republican Party, the one of Mitt Romney, and other RINOs like him, John Kasich comes to mind, is over. For anybody who wants to survive in politics going into the future, you better get right with the direction of the world.

The case against Paxton began back in 2015 when he was indicted on three counts of securities fraud and one count of failure to register with the state securities board. The charges were related to Paxton’s involvement with a company called Servergy, which he allegedly promoted without disclosing that he was receiving commissions for his efforts.

Despite the accusations, Paxton maintained his innocence throughout the trial. His defense team argued that the charges were politically motivated and that he had not broken any laws. In the end, the jury agreed with Paxton’s defense and found him not guilty on all counts.

While some people are celebrating the verdict, others are frustrated and disappointed. Many believe that the justice system has failed to hold Paxton accountable for his actions and that he has gotten away with a serious crime, as the Bush family had hoped to use against him. 

There are also concerns that the verdict could set a dangerous precedent, sending a message that public officials can get away with unethical and illegal behavior without any consequences.

Despite these concerns, Paxton has maintained that he is innocent and that justice has been served. He has thanked his supporters for standing by him throughout the trial and has vowed to continue fighting for the people of Texas.

Get ready, there will be a long string of these types of MAGA acquittals in the year to come.  And Trump is going to win in a landslide election.  And all those who performed as bad guys across the world will have revenge coming their way, as is perfectly justified by their own actions.  That revenge will come nationally, statewide, and locally.  And many will be in shock.  But they have it coming because of what they did.

Isaac Adi Loses His Man Card: Despite modern woke rules, people are still people

So they have drug Judge Lyons into all this? I love the Judge, and there he was in court serving as the stooge for a failed political figure, as Lynda is calling in all the favors, hoping to turn back the tides of reality like some crazy old woman seeks the fountain of youth before the grip of old age seals her doom. These political gymnastics can’t hide the terrible report card at Lakota. Lynda was in charge, and it’s on her, which will be the subject of tomorrow. But for now, man cards are still crucial in the world, despite the attempt to use new woke rules to remove such judgments from society. Men and women still have expectations from each other that have been relevant for many thousands of years, even millions. And that was something an old friend of mine, who ran WLW radio then, used to enjoy during his Saturday radio show from 9 a.m. until 11. Back before there was ever a YouTube, through the Obama first term, I used to do a lot of talk radio all over the country, and I had a good relationship, especially with Clear Channel Radio, who ran WLW, specifically through Darryl Parks when he was the big man at the station, setting all their programming priorities. He and I had similar politics, so I was a frequent guest with him and many other Marconi award-winning personalities, and we had a good time having fun with forbidden early woke social rules. It would be woke politics that would have Clear Channel remove most of the conservative talent (Bill Cunningham is not a real conservative; he only plays one on the radio), and Parks eventually lost his title. But while he had it, we had a lot of fun and did a lot of good radio making fun of ridiculous things, such as woke policies, well before anybody even knew what they were. We would often exploit that trait on his radio show, and one of the most popular mechanisms we would employ was removing people’s man cards when they showed weak behavior in a public setting, especially men who were not standing up for traditional masculine attributes. We would talk about them on the air during his show to hundreds of thousands of people and remove their man cards as a shame for their lack of courage and strength when it was needed most.

So in that fabulous and influential tradition, we must bring back the removal of man cards when they show they do not deserve them, and that is certainly the case with Isaac Adi, the Lakota school board member who attempted to have court protection from fellow school board member, Darbi Boddy.  He and Darbi were at a conference in Florida and had several arguments, which isn’t unusual.  They ran for school board together and have turned out to be quite different politically.  It didn’t look that way at first, but since Isaac won his seat, he has essentially become much more liberal, whereas Darbi is still the conservative mom that she ran herself as.  But unlike regular politicians, Darbi didn’t say one thing and then show herself to be something else.  And that is what the establishment types call a lack of “professionalism” when politicians do what they say they will do with the naive assumption that they might be able to change anything. For most politicians, you throw populist opinions to the public to get them to vote for you.  Then you say other things to those who donate money to political campaigns.  But when you are in executive session with other politicians, you are all friends; you talk about Bill’s cat and Sarah’s new dress, and no matter who they are, Republicans and Democrats, you enjoy a kind of silent membership to the club.  Darbi was always the same person: the campaign Darbi, the fundraising Darbi, and the daily school board member.  So when efforts were led by Lynda O’Conner, a supposed conservative school board member, to get control of these two new school board members a few years ago, Isaac and Darbi, only Isaac listened.  Darbi remained independently conservative, and since then, Isaac and Darbi have had a very contentious relationship, and they argue frequently for obvious reasons. If it’s anybody’s fault for destroying their relationship, it’s Lynda O’Conner who did it.

According to court testimony on September 15, 2023, because of this incident, Isaac was admitted to a hospital for two nights and three days, and he had a medical bill as evidence. That says everything.

But the only time they’ve been violent, that type of thing was initiated by Isaac. At least two times, I know where Isaac has punched at cameras recording him, and it was women holding those cameras. Isaac has a temper and has expressed it openly. He likes to be in control, and when he feels he’s losing control, he turns to physical aggression. I never thought it was a big deal, but under the definition of harassment that he expressed to a court on September 15th, 2023, then the smeller is the feller in this case. He’s the guy in the elevator passing gas and then looking at everyone else as if it were their fault. So it is ironic that after that Florida trip for school board business, he went to the courts to file a petition against Darbi, citing that he did not feel safe around her and that she had been “bullying” him. And that she carries a gun and he doesn’t feel “safe.” Jiminy Christmas, that is not how men talk! I understand that Darbi is tough, and she has a powerful personality. I have been to the firing range with her and her husband, and I can report that she does know how to handle herself with a gun. But what world is Isaac living in? Everyone carries a weapon, or at least they should. It’s like saying that a woman has earrings. Carrying guns is a common social enterprise, so it should not have been a big deal to Isaac. But he went to the courts to seek protection from her, which was pretty embarrassing, and he felt he needed to. The judge denied the request, as should have been understood from the start. Isaac failed to present evidence that an ex parte order is necessary for his safety and protection from imminent danger.

They should have never tried to knock Darbi off the school board. They just keep digging themselves deeper and deeper.

All that might be fine in the legal world of court talk and political discourse.  And to say it’s a dysfunctional relationship doesn’t go deep enough to the true heart of the matter.  What is the purpose of these frequent confrontations?  It comes down to acceptance of honest public discourse, and what I find valuable about Darbi is that as a genuine representative of the community and an unpolished political figure, she is a good gauge of how people feel in the district.  Yet the political trend is to be one way in public and another in private, which is an inherently dishonest position, and that understanding has led to healthy conflict.  But if you are a man, you don’t run to the courts looking for protection, for the “state” to protect you.  You handle your battles and don’t seek government help to resolve them.  That is why Isaac Adi must lose his man card.  By the woke rules of the modern world, it’s OK for men to cry and be emotional.  And to be afraid of guns.  But by the fundamental laws of manhood, those are all reprehensible traits that women classicly find destructive and unattractive.  And I think Darbi’s primary source of disappointment, knowing her pretty well as I do, is that Isaac has shown himself to be everything but the kind and conservative person she ran with on the campaign.  Darbi never wanted to be a political figure in the traditional sense.  She just wanted to be on the school board to help kids get access to a better life.  And she has had no desire to become what Isaac has, and that anger spills over into their conversations.  The Lakota school board’s dysfunction started when Isaac attempted to remove Darbi from the school board with many other hostile people, led by Lynda O’Conner, literally the moment that Darbi gave her the critical vote to make her president.  So, who in their right mind would expect Darbi to get along with them at this late date or that she’d want to join hands under a banner of peace now?  She can only hope that she gets more people on the school board who are better representatives of the community to work with, and until then, she is just holding her nose, like many people are.  But compromising with people without integrity is not an option, or dealing with people who have lost their man cards.

There is No Court Case Involving the 14th Amendment: Trump was the official government at the time, he couldn’t have an insurrection against himself

I’m happy to provide the ultimate reason that the 14th Amendment cannot be used against President Trump to keep him off the ballot for the 2024 election.  There has been a lot of legal opinion on this new strategy from the Marxist left because they’ve seen the internals and know that Trump is winning much more than what is being reported in the media.  That’s why they are panicking.  There was no alternative plan when the actual insurrection occurred in 2020, and Trump was removed from the White House by a government-sponsored coup.  And which one you might ask?  Pick one of the many, from the FBI actions of insurrection to the many provable occurrences of outright election fraud.  To the Russiagate manipulations.  There was plenty of very illegal activity that has yet to be prosecuted.  But they all are violations of the 14th Amendment that the political left and some RINOs from the right are trying to pin on Trump now to keep him from being able to run in 2024.  The real issue is that Trump was the established government at the time, so how could he have an insurrection against himself?  All Trump did was question the actions of an official insurrection that the opposing political party was coordinating.  And those types of coups were happening in other parts of the world where communism and socialism were trying to seize power.  So, out of desperation in America, and with the help of a complicit media that wanted Marxism in America, they tried the same thing.  Only it didn’t work quite the same way.  And this ultimately will result from all the cases established against Trump and his direct reports in the White House, such as Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon.  The assumption of all the charges filed as they have been assumes that Trump was the insurgent when it was the other way around. 

The desperation for turning to the 14th Amendment is quite telling, actually, and shows just how flimsy even the most astute legal minds have had to dig into attempting to give the Marxist radicals who want to continue to use the power of government for their global strategic plans, any leg to stand on.  My essential formula for solving most modern problems is straightforward: Guns, The Bible, The Constitution, and Trump.  Those four things will make America Great Again, again if used as intended.  And the desperation of using the Constitution to keep Trump from running in 2024 is ironic.  The people who are trying to overthrow all power in America are turning toward the rule of law as their weapon.  But that’s not what it says in the 14th Amendment Section 3.  The references to a political officeholder inspiring an insurrection have no place with Trump, as Trump was the government.  He was the one with his hands on the reigns of power.  The grand illusion being used against all Trump defendants is their attempt to ignore that Trump was ever in office and had government power under his complete control.  From January 2017 to January 2021, Trump was the third branch of government, the Executive Branch, popularly elected by the people of America, despite the many rigged elections that were clearly established to prevent him or anybody else from beating Hillary Clinton.  The actual insurrection was that the government forces who lost power when Trump was elected staged a coup which ultimately, with direct involvement from the intelligence community, tried to prevent the people’s will from being known.  They underestimated that enthusiasm the first time, in 2016.  And in 2020, they wouldn’t.

Under the cover of COVID-19, they changed the election laws that would allow them to cheat massively, and many tens of thousands of people were involved, knowingly.  And they openly plotted and schemed against the established government the entire time that Trump was in office.  They didn’t just say, “auh shucks, we’ll try next time.”  No, they worked to commit actual insurrection against Trump’s government to remove him from power the way we have seen occur worldwide with various communist takeovers, precisely the same way.  And with all of them, the assumption was that they would not recognize the Trump presidency as valid, nor any trace of executive privilege, because to do that, the Trump administration would have to be identified as the official government at the time.  And to pretend that it never happened.  That is the essential legal premise of all these cases against Trump.  And it can’t be that way because once you compromise for one point, all cases fall apart.  Which the communist insurgents who want to take over the American government might think is appealing until the same gets applied to them.  This is why the Constitution is such a powerful document.  What they say it says is not what it says.  They only hope that people are too stupid to read it for themselves, but to hold up in court, the case falls apart fast, which is good because it shows how weak all their attempts against Trump are going into 2024.  This is all they have everyone, a year away from the election, which isn’t good for them.  What is concerning is that so many people are letting them attempt such a thing, which means the hair in the drain of the swamp that Trump represents draining is much thicker and involves many more Republican RINOs than many of us are comfortable admitting. 

For all those legal people out there, you’re welcome.  I’m always happy to help.  The case’s merit is not whether Trump inspired an insurrection with his words to the public after the opposing government showed signs of a rigged election.  It was clear to many what happened, especially during that year with Covid driving the behavior and the still very uncomfortable evidence about the purposeful release of the virus as a bioweapon to commit election fraud and give more global power to the efforts of the Great Reset at the World Economic Forum, hiding behind the façade of the United Nations.  We were dealing with a worldwide insurrection, and Trump was in the way.  But regarding the official government of the United States, Trump was that figure when an “insurrection” occurred.  So, he couldn’t have had an insurrection against himself.  It came from those who opposed him, who are now the same people trying to prevent the people’s voices from being heard in another election.  They knew how to seize power in 2020 because the numbers were not with them.  And without COVID to hide behind this time, they are trying to take Trump away as an option to even vote for because that’s how desperate they are.  Their entire strategy is to ignore that Trump was ever the representative of the government and hope that they can perverse the wording of the 14th Amendment if only they threaten to firebomb the homes of Supreme Court members and intimidate them into seeing the law from the perspective of radical Marxists.  That is their entire game plan.  And it’s as flimsy as it sounds, even though media members don’t have enough confidence in their reading ability to understand the Constitution themselves.  There is nothing to the 14th Amendment case against Trump, and ironically, it opens up the Trump people to be able to pursue the insurgents who were the real problem.  Their legal counsel would serve them better if they started to look at things from that perspective instead of reacting off the back of their heels.  These are easy cases that are only puffed-up bluster from the actual government insurgents, who have seized power and now have the White House and are desperate to do anything to keep that power, which is what this entire case is all about.

The Vivek Ramaswamy I Know: He’s a good guy who wants to help save America for all the right reasons

It’s tough to be a front-runner, which is where Vivek Ramaswamy finds himself among the second-place contenders for President of the United States. As much as I like Vivek, I’m a Trump guy, and from the beginning, it has always been for me Trump, Trump, and more Trump when it comes to the White House. It’s Trump, or something much harsher, that does not consider civility. Trump was treated wrong during his first four years and has been treated wrong since he left office. And to set things right in America, Trump must be back in the White House. So, I have not covered Vivek Ramaswamy’s presidential campaign because he has been running against Trump. However, now that the smoke is starting to clear, and Vivek has shown that he’s never betrayed Trump and has adopted a very MAGA platform in the running for president, there are some things that we can talk about that have come up regarding his character. Now that the world has come to know Vivek Ramaswamy, there are concerns that he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing, the picked insurgent from Wall Street. After all, he is worth nearly a billion dollars, so he doesn’t exactly fit the profile of “one of us.” But then again, Trump is a billionaire, and as I’ve said many times, the Trump of the 80s and 90s is not the kind of person I would have voted for President. And Vivek is still a very young person, not yet 40. But now that he has overcome DeSantis in most polling, and everyone else, all the presidential candidates likely running to be vice president, Vivek is getting more negative media attention, which requires some clarity.

Before there was a book there was a bright young man who wanted to do something good.

I don’t think Vivek Ramaswamy is anything but sincere in his efforts to run for president and have a political future to continue something good that Trump has started. I know Vivek to a degree and have met him several times. He’s from my area of Cincinnati, so our paths have crossed a lot. I remember very well when he launched his political career at the Middletown Republican Party headquarters, talking about a book he was about to release called Woke Inc, which has gone on to bring great awareness to the dangers of corporate Marxism run by people like Larry Fink from the World Economic Forum. Vivek is a person of magnificent intelligence, and I would look to him as the next great economic advisor in the Trump administration. Vivek Ramaswamy has started Strive Management as an offering to take on the prominent money managers in BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard, operating out of Columbus, Ohio, instead of Wall Street, New York. Strive Management, I think, is the solution to the monster that the Federal Reserve has created. So, Vivek Ramaswamy isn’t just some dreamy Republican looking for attention. His heart is undoubtedly in the right place, and I can say that because of my interactions with him. Vivek came to an event that I was a part of organizing, and as he explained to me, it was there at that point in his life that he began to see the other side of things, and it inspired him to step away from being a CEO of biotech companies and instead do his part to save America. So, just because people are wealthy and successful, it doesn’t mean they have sold their souls away and are useless for the rest of their lives. People are always on a journey; they seldom stay the same throughout their lives. They evolve as they learn, and Vivek is still a young man and learning who he is.

I like Vivek quite a lot

Vivek Ramaswamy is a great talent, and I am not surprised he’s getting much serious attention as a presidential candidate.  I hope he is in that kind of position for many years.  As much as I support President Trump, it is time to start thinking about 2028 and beyond.  And I believe Vivek Ramaswamy is there to continue a MAGA platform that can help correct America’s severe problem with international finance, where America’s real problems start.  It’s not some faraway country that is the next military threat to American interests; it’s the local bank and the money manager of our 401K plans, and few people in the world understand that better than Vivek Ramaswamy.  And that will be just as much of a problem four years from now as it is currently.  So, I am very supportive of Vivek Ramaswamy, and I want him to succeed in this presidential venture so that he continues to offer his talents to politics to carry a MAGA platform well into the future.  And I have enough personal information about him by knowing him and talking to him to give my opinion on his motives in all this.  I think he’s a young person who has had great success and realized it wasn’t enough.  He has a gift for communication and wants to use it to save a country he loves.  I know the event that he told me about helped shape that moment for him in stepping away from being a wealthy CEO and becoming a political figure that could extend the Trump platform for the Republican Party well into the future.  With a wink and a nod, I would say to everyone, that’s why we have events like the one I’m alluding to.  Because you never know how many Vivek Ramaswamys are out there asking questions about their lives and looking for something meaningful to do next. 

I think Kari Lake is the leading vice-presidential candidate. But for many reasons, I believe Vivek Ramaswamy would be better. The more he talks, the better things get, and as a political party of Republicans, we want Vivek to speak as much as possible. I would love to have four years of Vivek as a vice president, getting on-the-job training for eight solid years as a president. The Vivek I know is a guy who made it big, and it wasn’t enough. Like Trump, he has independent wealth and wants to use his skills to help his country. His political activity has nothing to do with a desire to be near corruption and be recognized as necessary. He already is. But due to his financial independence, like Trump, he is turning to politics to give something back that few people in the world ever get. So, I think Vivek is running for president, not as a controlled asset of Wall Street. But as a person who has stepped over from the dark side of finance and can help fix a very broken problem with his unique skills. I don’t think Vivek ever meant to be on the dark side; he left college and stepped into the world to be successful for all the right reasons, the way society measures it. But these days, he’s more than that; he has grown. And that is why he’s running for office, and he should be a positive contributor to positive political efforts for many years. There are good guys out there, even in the world of politics. Trump came to this good guy desire late in life. And when it comes to Vivek Ramaswamy, it has come early, and perhaps just in time to help save the world.

Warriors and sell-outs, they are not the same.

The Company of Tomorrow: Political trends are shifting away from the World Economic Forum values, and that’s a great thing

Everyone is always looking for the next great business tip for a competitive advantage, so here it is.  You can tell because of trends like what is going on with the Washington Redskins NFL team and the Cleveland Indians.  The fans of those teams are getting petitions signed to restore their names to what they were pre-woke.  The momentum of wokeness has shifted, and we see the political pendulum swinging the other way.  The Marxists had their chance, which didn’t have a positive impact that society could see for themselves.  The Beatles song “Imagine” didn’t come out very well when the World Economic Forum was starting mass viruses for their Great Reset and turning the responsibility of enforcement over to your local human resource office to do through businesses what nobody would ever be able to do through government regulation.  The Marxists of the world figured out that by design, our political systems in America were established to go slow to keep the government from interrupting the machine of capitalism.  So, they turned their attention to businesses to attack them there, and what we have seen happening in business climates over the last several decades has been Marxism, and people didn’t notice until recently.  Because most people have an adversarial relationship with their employers, it wasn’t something people saw coming in the front door.  But now that it’s here, they want it gone.  And that is the future state of business.  I’ve seen this communist, Marxist approach in the industry for a long time, growing year by year, and finally, after Trump was removed from office after a government-organized coup, no different from the many communist revolutions around the world, people finally have had enough of it, and that trend began to go the other way after the last Covid vaccine mandates. 

Just as professional sports teams were tricked into changing their names into woke acceptance, this is not what society wants.  They want cool names for their sports teams, not the Guardians, but the Indians in Cleveland.  I was just in Cleveland, and that name change a few years into it is still a joke, and it’s not getting better.  I have had some interactions with members of the family of that team, and their woke acceptance has not gone over well.  People are turning on them for allowing woke politics into their sacred sports franchise.  And that is certainly the case with the Washington Football team in D.C.  People want their Redskins back.  This anti-capitalist approach to life is not what people want in the world.  They have been patient with corporations that became politically active toward Marxism, some of America’s largest corporations.  When we talk about globalism, we are essentially talking about Marxism because that is how it is everywhere else.  Americans have taken the advantages of capitalism for granted because they didn’t know any better.  And they assumed that the companies they worked for had at least primary American values.  But that’s not how most corporations are these days; they have drifted into this Marxist compliance because if they had manufacturing plants in China, Vietnam, or Europe, they were dealing with some level of Marxism, whether it was outright communism or socialism.  It was not free market capitalism that was the driver of their economies.  It was the slow-moving and lazy administrative state, and it was slowing things down to levels that have been unacceptable in America.  I’m old enough to know what it was like before, and I have watched over several decades of being on the front line how Marxism has migrated into the human resource departments to influence how people live their everyday lives.  But the final straw happened during Covid and the slow realization that most people have from President Trump being in the White House, then Joe Biden.  Bidenomics has not been good for anybody but the global Marxists. 

I have often pointed out, over a long period, how the Lean Manufacturing trend was filled with cultural Marxism.  Many of the central foundations of business ethics these days attack the notion of the golf-playing CEO with a nice car, a trophy wife, and is oozing with success.  In Lean Manufacturing, they want the members of management to come from their offices out to where the work is done, not just to become more effective in understanding a problem.  That is how it sold to them.  But it’s really to minimize management in the eyes of the employees, to establish a level of sameness among everyone that displays nobody is in charge but the centralized employees.  Not even the marketplace.  Compliance with regulators as they get their talking points from the World Economic Forum has been their weapon of choice and has been a slow burn.  The CEOs and CFOs who have survived the most were those bootlicker types who appeased the bureaucratic regulators and were not focused on giving the public what they wanted—but imposing on the public Marxist restrictions not just in the employer but in the marketplace itself.  Rather than march people into Washington D.C. at gunpoint as Castro did in Cuba and kill political rivals off point blank, the Marxists took a much more passive-aggressive route.  They regulated capitalists out of existence.  But the marketplace is catching on and is pushing back.  Because of Trump’s successful administration, people tasted the good life again and want it back.  So, the political sentiment is swinging the other way. 

The World Economic Forum is failing; many of their 2030 plans, as scary as they are for their intent, are falling apart, much the way the name changes in sports are getting so much public pushback.  I do get to talk to people worldwide for perspective, and the sentiment is pretty much everywhere the same.  They are upset with Marxism and don’t want it in their products or the companies that make them.  And they certainly don’t want it in their sports teams.  People were willing to put up with it as long as they had the illusion of capitalism functioning in the background.  But now that they know differently, they want their capitalism back, so the future of business will go to those companies who most embrace capitalism for the majority of market share in the future.  Further woke trends from the human resource departments, such as paperless paychecks into bank accounts that centralized bankers can completely control, are not tomorrow’s trend.  But quite the opposite.  Ownership was diminished by the Marxists, including how pay was distributed or whether or not your employer could force you to get a vaccine of poison to keep your job.  The Marxists got caught talking out of both sides of their mouth; while they were saying work from home, fair pay for fair work, and make sure you get an excellent ESG score, the radical leftist Larry Fink and the Wall Street insurgents were saying, if you value your job, you’ll get the government medicine from the world’s largest drug dealer, the federal government.  People were willing to listen before and in the years leading up to these ridiculous sentiments of globalism on American corporations.  But now they aren’t, and success will be measured differently.  The less compliant with Marxist measures globally, the better companies will be.  And that is tomorrow’s trend for those who want to get a jump start.  Capitalism works not just because it makes money for those who utilize it.  But also, it’s a measure of morality that the public can influence, which was always at the heart of all economic activity and always will be.

History Will Remember How ‘Truth Social’ Saved Free Speech: The Home of President Trump

There was quite a stir when President Trump posted for the first time on X, or whatever Twitter is called these days. Trump put his mug shot on there, and the numbers exploded upon seeing it. I thought it was a great move, but I don’t think it says anything about Trump returning to Twitter as much as it indicates what he will do to win back the White House. Essentially, Trump is all in; he will do anything, and I mean anything, to beat these Marxist losers and kick out the crooked Biden crime family from the White House. I did not see it as abandoning his personal social media site, Truth Social. Later, President Trump assured everyone that Truth Social was his home and that he would stay with it. That doesn’t mean he can’t post what he wants on other social media outlets. Only that Truth Social remained true to his heart, and it should. I think when the smoke clears from this period of history, there will be one common thing that everyone will point to and say, “That saved America.” And I think that thing will be the creation of Truth Social. It was a very dark day; I remember it well. It was the closest thing we have ever seen to a hostile regime change in America, involving thousands of people hostile to Trump and his supporters. After January 20th, 2021, Trump left the White House for the last time, and essentially, he was openly banned from all social media, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Google search engines; the writing was on the wall. We didn’t just have an election that was in dispute; we had a government assassination much the way we did with Kennedy and Nixon. And it happened right before our faces in a way nobody expected. Well, very few people did expect it. I expected it. But the results were shocking to a lot of people.

I don’t talk about a lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff.  I put out my social media, and lots of people see it.  But there is a lot of shadow banning going on, and with me, that has been the case since social media started.  In many ways, I may be one of the most shadow-banned people on planet Earth.  I noticed it on YouTube years ago, well before President Trump joined politics.  You can look at videos I did 15 years ago and see that some have less than 100 views.  Some people put videos of hamsters drinking water, which get millions of hits, so for videos that old, what in the world was going on?  Well, it’s the same on my Twitter account and even my blog.  There are many ways that the people who control those social media platforms, apparently low-level people, can suppress the algorithm to your material for search engines, which many people know about.  But they can also tamper with social media counting, such as viewing results, followers, subscribers, and how your overall reach reaches.  To get a little sample of what I’m talking about, look at the views on my Rumble account videos compared to my YouTube account, and you will see what I’m talking about.  I see one set of numbers on my blog on my administrative page.  But on the display page, it’s a much-suppressed number.  Occasionally, when the software that the social media companies are updating and their algorithm scanning software is on pause, I get an accurate picture of how many people visit my sites.  That’s when I usually take a photo to validate the results.  But to put it mildly, the bad guys control the internet, let people see what they decide, and manage the transaction.  That is the purpose of the internet: more power, not more freedom.  And that game plan was never more evident than on January 20th, 2021, when the world of media, on all fronts, tried to make President Trump, the guy who just spent four years in the White House leading the free world, a “nonperson,” as Rupert Murdoch at Fox News clearly stated.  They were in control, and anybody they wanted to target they felt they could paint out of existence. 

The payback will be harsh, as it should be

In reaction to it, I was looking over my shoulder a lot.  There were a lot of shadowy characters popping into my life, and I was prepared to have a shootout with those hostile forces at any moment.  The crackdown was in full effect, and I was indeed a target.  My wife and I hooked up our RV and headed for the deserts of New Mexico to get things straight.  It was probably one of the best decisions in life that I have ever made.  There, I finished my book The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business and figured out what to do next.  And in the following months, the resistance movement against these tyrannical, election-stealing terrorists in the White House was taking shape.  Trump wouldn’t allow some third party to control his next campaign or the freedom movement in general.  As many others did, we would create our own social media companies and turn the tables on the bad guys.   And it would be painful for them.

I still watch and listen to everyone, even the bad guys on cable news, like MSNBC and corporate-run talk radio, just to understand what those idiots think. Most of my information comes from the live streams on Gettr. And once President Trump started Truth Social, I was among the first accepted accounts. And there is quite a lot to that story, too. I have had a lot of trouble with Truth Social, but it is not their fault. But there has been a lot of tampering that has locked my account many times. But, the social media element has undoubtedly forced the entire industry to change. Under Elon Musk, I have given Twitter a bit of a chance. It’s better. My account shows few social media impressions because it is so heavily shadow-banned. But I routinely get many tens of thousands of views when I comment on an account that isn’t so heavily shadow-banned, which is very effective. Social media, like their communist partners in China and the World Economic Forum, will let a few controlled people present the appearance of free speech. But the hostile anti-free speech people try to suppress them in every way possible. Truth Social was the first to break that wall down brick by brick, and it was brilliant of President Trump to utilize. Ultimately, it will likely be what won the war because it took the clamps off free speech and forced the alternatives to adjust their approach. And it broke the model of tyranny behind the creation of the Internet. As a result, the message of Trump and the rest of us can get out to others, and the government and the hostile agents that control our government now cannot stop people from hearing other opinions. And the planned communism that was always part of the Internet plan is falling apart. Truth Social opened the door to Free Speech on the Internet because it was the home of the most famous person on earth. And that pressure may save the world yet.

A Conversation with My Mom: Understanding the Cult of Trump

It was an easy answer that had been coming up more frequently, especially with the Trump indictments by a corrupt legal system run by a crime boss in Joe Biden, who was only in power because of a stolen election. And the thugs were showing that they were in charge, but they were mystified as to why so many people still supported Trump. They had not thought that to be the case. Instead, they expected submission, groveling, and fear from the Trump supporters. Even as they distributed a mugshot of a former president to show their power over him and much of his former staff. We saw a coup by Marxist insurgents, just like Lenin, Mao, or Castro in Cuba. This happened in the United States, and they thought they had it all figured out. Yet, instead, they didn’t understand why Trump was getting more popular, and nobody seemed able to explain it, even the Trump supporters. But the issue became very clear as I visited my elderly mom in the hospital. We were having one of those life-flashing-before-her-eyes discussions as if checking the validity of everything’s worth. From issues when she was a little girl that were coming back to her very fluidly. To things that happened just yesterday. And in her condition, she had been telling all the nurses who were tending to her about some of my very violent past because it was on her mind, and we were talking about it in a way we never had before. Life moved quickly, and there hadn’t been time to catch up, at least for me. She felt she had done something wrong, producing a person like me who was so angry that many people outright hated. She came from the Happy Days generation, where people measured success by how many people liked them. Not me. She didn’t understand why I needed to carry a gun everywhere. She said to me, “Maybe if you just did what you were told, so many people wouldn’t be after you,” she said.

Vote for Trump to fight Marxism

We reflected on many stories, but the one she had told the nurses was one where I was involved in a large fight where many people were killed in the process.  As we reflected, only a few were still alive out of all the people involved.  She was upset that I was so proud of that incident.  She felt guilt about it while I took great pride in it, and that was the core of the problem and why we hadn’t talked about it over all these years.  But that wasn’t the only issue.  I reminded her of the first grade when I poked the school bully in the eye with my scissors.  He was picking on somebody. I had stepped in to stop it, and a fight ensued in class.  He was a really big kid, and everyone was terrified of him.  So, knowing he was dangerous, I fought him that way and stabbed him in the eye with my scissors.  I got into a lot of trouble.  Another time, I was on the school bus.  I always rode in the back, as far away from the figures of authority as possible.  But that was always where the kids who did terrible things sat, and I witnessed many bad things.  One day, they were doing drugs, sharing apparent stimulant pills, and they tried to force me to take one.  I threw it out the window, as I have never taken any drugs, ever in my life.  And I felt very strongly about it even back then.  A huge fight ensued, many of them against me, and many people got hurt, some of them badly.  I got into a lot of trouble.  A lot of trouble.

I don’t sit around thinking about it, but I had dozens and dozens of those kinds of stories, and as my mom reflected on them like older adults do as they are trying to work things out about their own lives, I just let her talk.  But up to that point, I am not a sit-down-and-talk-about-it person.  I keep the throttle down pretty hard, and I like things to go fast.  Not that I’m trying to outrun my past.  I don’t like getting stuck thinking about it because I see it as a waste of time.  But visiting her in that condition it was on her mind, and she felt like she had done something wrong to have such a socially ostracized kid, and she was being hard on herself for all the death and mayhem that was in the wake of it all.  Then, telling her how proud I was of my life was too much.  Yet she had said something that explained the current situation with Trump and the Marxists, who were essentially trying to take over the American government, and why there was such a lack of understanding about the whole issue.  The theme of my life was pretty easy to sum up: resisting anybody who wanted to control my life in some way. I have had the unique circumstance of never being beaten into any submission.  But from my mom’s point of view, she felt that I would have had a much easier life if I had just done what people told me to do.  But I didn’t want an easy life.  I enjoyed the violence.  I enjoyed the heartbreak.  I liked the pain.  Because I wanted more than anything to be free, free as a person to think what I wanted when I wanted to.  So, to me, all those horrible things were good, and I was proud to now reflect on them, knowing what I had to do to arrive at this moment.  On the other hand, she valued safety as the primary criterion of goodness, and because of that, she felt like she had failed. 

Not all Americans had my experience.  Many, at some point in their lives, had taken that pill to keep from being beaten up.  Or they avoided stabbing a bully in the eye because they were afraid to hurt the other person, so they ended up getting beaten up themselves.  And they said yes to the pushing and shoving against them, where a long history of dead bodies didn’t populate their past.  It costs a lot to resist the bullies in life, and there are many of them, and most people do not feel as strongly as I do about it.  But their inner rebel does come out when it comes to Trump.  And secretly, they support that he has been so strong as their representative, and where the Marxist insurgents expected to bully people and have them fold up like cheap lawn chairs, people have continued to support Trump, and that support has increased with each new indictment.  As I answered my mom, appeasing the bad guys does not improve life.  I’d instead carry a gun like I do now everywhere, knowing that lots of people would love to kill me.  That was her fear: if you, just for once in your life, would appease all those bad people, maybe they’d leave you alone.  But no, they never leave you alone.  All they understand is force, and in my way, I have fought very hard with lots of casualties along the way to maintain my freedom.  And now, I was watching the nation of America waking up to that same sentiment.  And I think it’s good, and about time.  Better late than never, but I can certainly say that I understand it fully.  And what’s to come quite well.

Trump is the Hand of God on Earth: The long fight against the prosecution of free people is finally coming to a climax

This persecution of Trump is not a new thing in the world.  It always happens when dynamic challenges confront stagnant orders.  The most obvious example is when Christ was persecuted and killed for his challenges to the static order of the day.  But we could say the same thing of Joseph, son of Jacob, whom God had renamed Israel.  Or the Apostle Paul, who was killed by the Romans who continued the preaching of Christ around the Mediterranean to the point where they killed him.  Or even Socrates was killed in Greek society for corrupting the youth with his words.  People being killed for challenging a static order filled with corruption is the story of the human race, and President Trump is the most modern example.  It’s not unusual for what is happening to him to be happening to someone who is a challenge to the established order.  The only real difference is that most of these occur regionally, but the Trump case is genuinely global.  And the process is always the same, made-up charges, weaponization of the legal system, and the implementation of a death penalty.  That is what Democrats are out for in America, but more than that, much of the world is rooted in communism, socialism, and all elements of general globalism.  Trump is a threat to that order, so the powers that have been corrupting our lives in the background are showing their presence by coming out against Trump.  Trump is the most famous person on Earth and is prepared to handle this prosecution, as they have always been looming in our lives in terrible ways.  Yet what’s different this time is that someone like him is coming out of America to challenge the world in ways they never have before.  This time, as opposed to all the biblical and historical figures, there is an assumption that Trump has a right to challenge those forces, making the panic ever deeper.

It’s not just that Trump is having all these grave injustices done to him, such as the arrest in Georgia for doing nothing but trying to run for office again.  I have said it often, the anger is that the established order has been picking our representatives for us for years, and Trump is truly a representative of the people.  They know Joe Biden didn’t get 81 million votes.  They knew they cheated in that election.  They know what they did during Covid.  They know what they are doing in Ukraine and many other places.  And they are being caught.  And their only option is this desperate prosecution of Trump, just as many have been destroyed as they emerged in history.  I particularly like the story of Joseph, the favorite son of Jacob whom his brothers sold into slavery in Egypt.  He was jailed for several years and essentially sentenced to death.  But Joseph had a particular skill, interpreting dreams, and he did rise to the top of Egyptian society under the care of Pharaoh, who had come to love Joseph.  And the tables were turned on the brothers, and the people of Israel flourished until the next pharaoh found them a threat to his power.  That’s the motivation behind most of these classic stories.  Threats to power must be destroyed.  This time is no different, only now it is the efforts of globalism for communist domination of the entire planet that is at stake.  And Trump and his first term scared that power to its very foundations.  And we are witnessing how scared they are by what they are doing to prosecute Trump and his supporters in obvious ways.  I see Trump, as I have now for a long time, as an instrument of God to destroy these powers and that much of what we are witnessing is a divine history meant to kill that vast evil on earth.

And why not, why not Trump, out of all people?  I think a look at Trump’s life now, in hindsight, makes a lot of sense.  He had great success in enduring what is happening now, to have the personal resources not to be like John the Baptist and be arrested for the pleasure of the powers ruling the day.  Trump is too big to stop and throw in jail to rot away until some wealthy socialite pleads for the head of the cousin of Jesus to be presented to her for all the vanity that evil would bathe in.  Trump isn’t perfect; he’s on his third marriage and has made many mistakes.  But then again, remember King David, who wanted to sleep with a woman who caught his eye, so he sent her husband to war to kill him so he could be with her.  Or what about King Soloman, who had so many wives, many of them worshipers of Baal?  God seems to shake his head at these shortcomings but forgives them so long as the primary objective is fulfilled.  And Trump fits in perfectly with these historical characters.  But this one is different because it’s global, and it is happening under the American assumption of free speech, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights that protects our society from such incriminations.  The communist globalists, of course, want to destroy the American way of life and the laws of the Constitution, making Trump the most crucial element to that preservation that has ever appeared on earth.  

Recently I couldn’t help but draw the comparison after Season Two of Chosen, where Jesus was having his famous Sermon on the Mount.  It reminded me of a Trump rally.  Of course, the popular show Chosen is a modern interpretation of a scriptural story of significance, and the current Trump rallies might have influenced the director.  But it indicates how this story of human need is as old as time.  When people see that someone is breaking down the static order that is suppressing them, which Jesus was doing, by the hand of God himself, they will crawl through broken glass for that person to shatter that suppressive static order.  And we know that because of the events that occurred over the next 2000 years.  We can see the hand of God at work again on a grand scale, not just a persecution for a speech given at the Sea of Galilee, but the words of Trump have reached every corner of Earth.  And just as the powerful forces of Roman society watched Jesus’ speech with fear at the power being displayed, we are watching that same persecution unleashed yet again.  But this time, we aren’t talking about Christ being crucified, Socrates being poisoned, Joseph being sold into slavery and killed in prison, or John the Baptist having his head cut off.  This time Trump is running for president to gain control of the free world as our direct representative, and he is too big of a personality to be prosecuted.  The public wants him to represent them on the world stage.  And it’s beautiful to watch.  The reason for America being created in the context of history is to unleash a person like Trump onto the world to destroy these tyrannical elements once and for all.  We had to have a fight because we have always had it.  Only this time, we have a country in America that expects to win, not for the forces of darkness to prevail.  Because Trump is just the right personality for this task at hand, and it’s wonderful to see and witness such a historical moment that thousands of years have been building up to this precise culmination.

Remember When Eddie Was Going to Marry Myrtle for $10 Million: How Larry Fink Bought up the whores of corporate America

The latest news about Best Buy intending not to hire any white managers falls under the term I like to use for these things, which is quite accurate, that they are latte-sipping prostitutes. And that is how Larry Fink and many others have managed to take over the world while everyone was sleeping. Or, to put it more accurately, doesn’t everyone remember the episode of Family Matters where Erkle’s relative Myrtle, the very ugly woman that her father was paying a groom 10 million dollars to marry, turned out to be a disaster? Yet Eddie, the person who was set to marry Myrtle because her father couldn’t find a husband for her any other way, because she was so ugly, declared that he had ethics and standards. That is until the father indicated the amount of money he’d be paid. Which he then said, “OK.” Ahhh, the power of easy money, the scam where the Federal Reserve printed a bunch of fake money based on Modern Monetary Theory through quantitative easing and dumped it into Wall Street to filter and distribute. People like Larry Fink at BlackRock, being the political activist he always wanted to be could then buy up majorities shares of stock and impose on those corporations liberal standards that nobody would ever vote for. Yet through the power of money and the tendency most people have toward whoredom, companies like Best Buy, and even Chick-fil-A will dance to the money that people like Fink control because, like Eddie, it’s all too tempting to take. And that is how the biggest scam of the modern world was born globally, and especially in the United States. Freedom sounds great until someone dangles a lot of money in front of your face, and at that point, like Eddie from Family Matters, financial security tends to make whores out of the people who think they have the utmost in integrity.

I have always been hard on the Latte Sipping Prostitutes that are so common in the world. I understand why Oliver Anthony has turned down the many record deals for his “Rich Men North of Richmond” song, which is currently making quite a splash across America. A corporate deal comes with strings. My wife and I have crossed that juncture many times, and every time we have turned away vast amounts of money to maintain our personal freedom. Freedom is more important to us than the cosmetic things that come from physical wealth. So, my opinion about people who sell out easily is rather harsh. Having something that people are willing to pay for is only part of the story. Maintaining personal freedom while making money is much, much harder. And those who sell out might make it big, but then they also end up with some boss like Larry Fink running their lives with political activism, which is far more common than you might think. When we talk about RINOs in politics, this is usually the cause of their condition. They want to be Republicans but end up compromised somewhere along the way. They have whored away their integrity and are no longer free to make their own decisions. So they have to bend the knee to some political radical, like Fink, who gained all his power through an alliance with the government to print fake money to have fake power, to do what government never could do on their own, and that is to use that fake money to make whores out of business titans and make them dance to the fingertips of corruption and malice. Most people are like Eddie in that Family Matters episode. They say they will never take the money until the money is in front of them. Then they take the money and sell away their freedom.

Biden is the distraction. The real villains hide in the background.

The next corporate trend will be the lessons learned from this time when so many people were suckered.  Eventually, in that Family Matters episode, Eddie’s girlfriend stops the wedding and prevents him from making a big mistake.  Perhaps in America, that is what Trump is doing for corporate America, saving it from a terrible marriage to the World Economic Forum.  Larry Fink has been Myrtle, the ugly woman that the dad, (the Fed) would pay anybody any amount of money to marry, only to give them ultimate control over every part of your life.  Including what color the members of management have to be.  Too many dumb CEOs took the easy money and sold out their companies to globalism concepts because it initially looked good.  But the catch was misery in losing control of their very lives to those paying them the money.  It’s not good to be a whore for money because people are too lazy to do things the old-fashioned way.  I don’t have much respect for people who sell out.  I never did, and I had plenty of opportunities to do so, including several chances last week.  The kind of money you could retire 20 times over with.  But then, to take the money, you lose all your freedom.  Freedom is far more important than just financial security.  Just like the whore could do lots of things to make money.  But selling your body just for someone else’s gratification is pretty lazy.  And that is exactly what most CEOs in the world today have been caught doing.  And the world is far worse for it.

The Best Buy story came and went; it wasn’t a very enticing story, because so many people are guilty of doing exactly the same thing.  Now that BlackRock owns so much majority share of corporate influence, what would their CEO do, complain to the press, the same press that has BlackRock owning most of their majority shares?  Most people have sold out to the easy money because they were too lazy to make money the old-fashioned way.  And through hostile corporate takeovers by BlackRock and others who received money from the Fed’s fake printing press, they did like Eddie and said yes to the dad.  “Yes, I’ll marry your ugly daughter for $10 million.”  For many, looking back on these last few years, I think they regret it.  There are a lot of Best Buys out there who might otherwise be bankrupt if not for BlackRock money propping them up to lead the corporate front with woke politics.  While the consumers shake their heads at the lunacy, the real villain has been the tendency of people in charge to whore themselves out so easily.  Which my term, I think, captures so accurately.  There are a lot of people who would gladly sip lattes at Starbucks and complain about their lives rather than to take proactive steps to make their lives better.  Easy money for them looks enticing, and it opens the door for the real scammers in the world, people like Larry Fink.  If people weren’t such whores, Larry wouldn’t have had so much easy success.  But he has, and they are, and that is why the world is the way it is.  However, I think there will be a lot more Oliver Anthony types in the future.  And far fewer Best Buys.  Truly the best measure of a good economy isn’t how strong the corporations are, built off phony wealth, but in their personal freedom to create upward mobility for their employees, incorporating the greatest personal freedoms.  The lessons have been tough, but perhaps we are finally at a point where we’ll have fewer whores running our economy and more integrity from those who see value in more than in printed goods or digital currency but in the quality of a life driven by freedom for the betterment of all.
