Signing E.O. 14172 Was Critical: What a lot of people don’t understand about Cost+ contracts

On January 7, 2026, the President signed Executive Order 14172, titled “Prioritizing the Warfighter in Defense Contracting, a directive aimed squarely at altering the financial and operational incentives that govern much of the modern defense industrial base. The order is grounded in existing executive authority over federal procurement, the Defense Production Act of 1950, and enforcement mechanisms embedded in the FAR and DFARS. Its legal structure does not cancel contracts wholesale or impose new statutory law; instead, it compels the Department of Defense—acting through the Secretary of Defense/War—to conduct rolling performance reviews of defense contractors producing critical weapons, systems, and equipment, beginning within 30 days of issuance. Contractors deemed “underperforming”—a term defined functionally as failing to meet delivery schedules, production speed, capital reinvestment expectations, or prioritization of U.S. government contracts—are immediately prohibited from executing stock buybacks or issuing dividends. Those contractors are given a 15-day window to submit board-approved remediation plans, with the Secretary authorized to escalate enforcement through contract modification, Defense Production Act authorities, or withdrawal of U.S. government advocacy if performance failures persist.

What distinguishes this order from prior acquisition reform efforts is that it explicitly links financial extraction behavior—buybacks, dividends, and executive comp plans—to production failure, instead of treating them as separate corporate governance issues. That linkage becomes particularly relevant when viewed alongside the last fifteen years of structural change in the defense and aerospace supply chain, where private‑equity ownership has steadily displaced privately held operators. As costs have risen under cost-plus and cost-type prime contracts, capital pressure has been pushed downstream, forcing Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers—who do not enjoy reimbursable margins—to absorb inflation, compliance burdens, long payment cycles, and constant schedule churn. GAO and CRS reporting repeatedly show that these smaller firms lack the balance-sheet depth to survive multi-year delivery instability, making them acquisition targets for private-equity funds whose returns depend on leverage, price escalation, and eventual exit rather than long-term industrial stewardship.

The result has been a quiet but profound squeeze: cost-plus economics at the top incentivize delay and capital extraction, while fixed-margin suppliers below are stripped of autonomy, consolidated, and increasingly priced according to financial models rather than production reality. Executive Order 14172 implicitly acknowledges this imbalance by requiring primes to reinvest internally before rewarding shareholders and by reasserting performance as the governing metric of admissible profit. Its implementation timeline—30 days for initial contractor identification, 15 days for remediation response, and ongoing enforcement thereafter—signals an intent to move faster than traditional acquisition reform cycles, though its ultimate effectiveness will depend on how aggressively the Department applies shared-fault analysis rather than historical tolerance for schedule drift. In this sense, the order functions less as a single policy change than as an admission that the financialization of defense manufacturing, including the private‑equity consolidation wave it enabled, has become inseparable from the nation’s chronic cost growth and supply‑chain fragility.

Across modern U.S. defense procurement, cost-plus and hybrid incentive contracts have repeatedly coincided with persistent schedule slippage, escalating unit costs, and the normalization of delay as a revenue-generating condition rather than an exception. One of the most prominent examples is the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program, the largest weapons acquisition effort in U.S. history. Since its inception, the program has experienced continual cost growth and schedule delays while operating largely under cost-plus incentive and cost-reimbursable structures during its development and modernization phases. Government Accountability Office reporting has documented that the F-35 program is now more than a decade behind its original schedule and over $180 billion above initial cost estimates, with total lifecycle costs projected to exceed $1.6 trillion.¹ Contractors have routinely delivered aircraft and engines late, yet still earned substantial incentive fees because contract structures allowed partial fee recovery even when deadlines were missed. In 2024 alone, all F-35 airframes delivered by the prime contractor were late by an average of more than 200 days, while hundreds of millions of dollars in performance fees continued to be disbursed.² The GAO has repeatedly concluded that the program’s payment mechanisms reward activity rather than outcomes, allowing chronic delivery delay to become financially survivable—and in some cases preferable—to accelerated execution.³

Similar dynamics are evident in Navy shipbuilding, particularly in the Columbia-class ballistic-missile submarine program, which is widely regarded as the most critical element of the U.S. nuclear deterrent. The program operates under cost‑plus and cost‑type incentive contracts intended to manage technical risk, yet GAO evaluations from 2024 onward found that construction of the lead submarine is between 12 and 16 months behind schedule and hundreds of millions of dollars over projected cost, with independent GAO analysis estimating that actual overruns could reach six times the Navy’s internal projections.⁴ Despite billions of dollars in taxpayer investments intended to stabilize the submarine industrial base, the Navy and its prime contractors have been unable to demonstrate measurable performance improvement across material availability, workforce productivity, or supplier readiness.⁵ GAO reporting further found that neither the Navy nor the prime contractor had conducted adequate root‑cause analysis of repeated delays, relying instead on optimistic assumptions of future performance improvements that historical data does not support.⁶

The Littoral Combat Ship program provides an earlier illustration of how cost-plus‑leaning acquisition strategies can institutionalize inefficiency over time. Initially justified as a fast, affordable surface combatant, the LCS program deviated from traditional acquisition discipline by committing to production before design maturity and by accepting recurring cost growth in exchange for schedule promises that were never realized. Unit costs for LCS vessels more than doubled over the life of the program, while significant mission capabilities failed to materialize as advertised.⁷ GAO assessments and congressional testimony concluded that the Navy’s acquisition approach raised serious concerns about over-commitment to incomplete designs, with contractors insulated from the financial consequences of rework and redesign.⁸ By the time the program was restructured and curtailed, billions had already been expended on ships that were later decommissioned early due to limited combat utility.⁹

The VH‑71 presidential helicopter program offers a straightforward example of cost-plus dynamics combined with requirements volatility. The program, intended to replace the Marine One fleet, was terminated in 2009 after nearly $3 billion had been spent, following a critical Nunn–McCurdy breach triggered by explosive cost growth and schedule delay.¹⁰ GAO post‑mortem analysis determined that the program’s cost‑reimbursable structure, combined with continuously changing government requirements, enabled unchecked cost escalation without corresponding delivery progress.¹¹ Despite repeated warnings, the program advanced through development phases without achieving design stability or cost control, ultimately requiring cancellation and restart under a new acquisition framework.¹²

Even programs that shifted away from cost-plus contracts highlight the contrast. The Air Force’s KC-46 tanker program, awarded under a firm-fixed-price incentive contract, experienced significant technical difficulties and multiyear delays, but forced the contractor—not the taxpayer—to absorb more than $7 billion in overruns.¹³ GAO reviews noted that while the fixed‑price structure did not prevent schedule delays, it did materially limit government exposure and altered contractor behavior by internalizing financial risk.¹⁴ Defense analysts frequently cite this experience as evidence that contract type does not eliminate execution risk but dramatically changes who bears the cost of failure.

Taken together, these cases illustrate a persistent pattern identified by the GAO for more than two decades: when cost‑plus structures dominate complex defense programs, delivery timelines expand, supply chains stagnate, and cost growth becomes normalized rather than corrected.¹⁵ Incentives shift away from throughput, schedule discipline, and supplier performance and toward change management, rework, and prolonged development cycles. GAO has repeatedly warned that, without a stronger linkage between payment and demonstrable outcomes, defense acquisition programs will continue to reward delay while eroding industrial base accountability.¹⁶

 So I am a big fan of this executive order.  It’s been a long time coming.  And it’s the only way to deal with escalating pricing in other fields.  Much of the out-of-control price escalation we have in our economy today starts with abuses by the Industrial Military complex and the rigged game of paying for bad performance, because there are so few players in the business.  Something had to be done.

UFO Disclosure: Historical Context, Cultural Impact, and the Interdimensional Reality

Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), now officially termed Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs), have transitioned from fringe speculation to mainstream discourse in recent years. The concept of UFO disclosure refers to the systematic release of information by governments, military agencies, and credible institutions regarding unexplained aerial phenomena. This shift has profound implications for science, security, and culture. While the notion of extraterrestrial visitation has long captivated the public imagination, recent developments—including congressional hearings, Pentagon reports, and high-profile media coverage—suggest that the phenomenon warrants serious consideration beyond conspiracy theories. The question is no longer whether UFOs exist, but what they represent and how society should respond to their disclosure.

Historically, UFO sightings surged in the mid-20th century, coinciding with technological advancements and geopolitical tensions during the Cold War. The Roswell incident of 1947, often cited as the genesis of modern UFO lore, sparked widespread speculation about crashed alien spacecraft and government cover-ups. In response, the U.S. Air Force launched Project Sign in 1947, followed by Project Grudge in 1949, and ultimately Project Blue Book in 1952. Project Blue Book became the most extensive government program investigating UFOs, collecting over 12,000 reports before its termination in 1969. While most cases were attributed to natural phenomena or misidentified aircraft, 701 remained unexplained (Britannica, 2025; Wikipedia, 2025). The official stance concluded that UFOs posed no threat to national security and lacked evidence of extraterrestrial origin. However, critics argue that the Condon Report, which justified the program’s closure, reflected institutional bias rather than scientific rigor (History.com, 2025). These early investigations established a pattern of secrecy and skepticism that shaped public perception for decades.

The modern era of disclosure began in 2017 when The New York Times revealed the existence of the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP). This revelation, coupled with the release of declassified Navy videos depicting objects with extraordinary flight characteristics, reignited global interest. Subsequent reports by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and the Department of Defense’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) have documented hundreds of UAP incidents, some defying conventional explanations (ODNI, 2023; DoD, 2024). The 2024 consolidated report noted that while many sightings were attributable to balloons or drones, a subset exhibited anomalous behavior, including transmedium travel and acceleration beyond known propulsion systems (DoD, 2024). Congressional hearings featuring whistleblowers such as David Grusch further intensified the debate, with claims of crash retrieval programs and non-human biologics entering the public record. Although these assertions remain controversial, they underscore a growing consensus that UAPs merit scientific investigation rather than dismissal.

Media figures have played a pivotal role in amplifying the disclosure narrative. Tucker Carlson, once reticent on the subject, has devoted extensive coverage to UAPs, interviewing lawmakers like Rep. Tim Burchett and discussing classified briefings that suggest underwater UFOs—so-called USOs—capable of moving at 200 mph in ocean trenches (Carlson Interview, 2025). Carlson has hinted at a “spiritual component” to the phenomenon, describing aspects so disturbing that he hesitates to share them publicly (Newsweek, 2023). Similarly, Megyn Kelly has hosted discussions with historian Victor Davis Hanson and former intelligence officials, exploring claims of reverse-engineered alien technology and the cultural ramifications of disclosure (Kelly Show, 2025). Joe Rogan’s podcast has featured prominent voices such as Bob Lazar, Jacques Vallée, and David Grusch, delving into theories ranging from extraterrestrial visitation to simulation hypotheses (JRE Library, 2025). These platforms have not only normalized UFO discourse but also framed it within broader philosophical and scientific contexts, challenging audiences to reconsider humanity’s place in the cosmos.

The cultural impact of UFO disclosure extends beyond media sensationalism. It intersects with epistemology, theology, and sociology, raising questions about authority, trust, and existential meaning. Historically, UFO narratives have mirrored societal anxieties—from Cold War fears of Soviet technological superiority to contemporary concerns about government transparency. Today, disclosure challenges entrenched paradigms, compelling institutions to reconcile empirical anomalies with scientific orthodoxy. Popular culture, from Hollywood films to streaming documentaries like The Age of Disclosure, reflects this tension, oscillating between skepticism and wonder. As anthropologist Diana Walsh Pasulka observes, UFOs function as “technological angels,” embodying both scientific mystery and spiritual symbolism (Pasulka, 2019). This duality explains why disclosure evokes not only curiosity but also apprehension, as it destabilizes ontological certainties that underpin modern civilization.

Speculative theories about UAP origins further complicate the discourse. The extraterrestrial hypothesis (ETH), positing that UFOs are spacecraft from other planets, remains the most popular explanation. However, the interdimensional hypothesis (IDH) has gained traction among scholars and ufologists. Pioneered by thinkers like J. Allen Hynek and Jacques Vallée, IDH suggests that UAPs may originate from parallel realities or higher dimensions, exploiting quantum anomalies to traverse spacetime (Patheos, 2024; Vallée, 1975). Contemporary research in quantum physics and multiverse theory lends conceptual plausibility to this idea, even if empirical validation remains elusive. Tim Lomas (2023) argues for “epistemic humility” in evaluating such hypotheses, noting that UAP behavior—such as instantaneous acceleration and materialization—defies classical physics and may indicate non-local phenomena (Lomas, 2023). If true, the implications are staggering: reality may be far more complex than the materialist paradigm assumes, encompassing layers of existence beyond human perception. This perspective resonates with ultraterrestrial models proposed by physicist Harold Puthoff, which entertain scenarios involving time travelers, ancient civilizations, or entities operating outside conventional spacetime (Journal of Cosmology, 2024).

The philosophical and theological ramifications of these theories are profound. If UAPs represent interdimensional intelligences, traditional dichotomies between science and spirituality collapse, inviting a synthesis of metaphysics and empirical inquiry. Such a paradigm shift could redefine humanity’s understanding of consciousness, agency, and destiny. It may also catalyze ethical debates about contact protocols, planetary stewardship, and the moral status of non-human intelligences. As Vallée cautions, disclosure is not merely a scientific event but a cultural transformation with unpredictable consequences for religion, governance, and social cohesion. Governments have reportedly convened think tanks to assess these impacts, with some concluding that full disclosure could destabilize global institutions—a rationale often cited for continued secrecy (NewsNation, 2025). Whether this paternalism is justified remains contentious, but it underscores the gravity of the issue.

UFO disclosure represents a watershed moment in human history, challenging epistemic boundaries and cultural norms. From the secrecy of Project Blue Book to the transparency of ODNI reports, the trajectory of UAP discourse reflects a gradual shift from ridicule to legitimacy. Media figures like Carlson, Kelly, and Rogan have accelerated this transition, framing UFOs as both scientific enigmas and philosophical provocations. While the extraterrestrial hypothesis dominates popular imagination, interdimensional models invite deeper reflection on the nature of reality and consciousness. Ultimately, disclosure is not an end but a beginning—a call to expand our intellectual horizons and prepare for a future where the unknown becomes knowable. Whether humanity meets this challenge with wisdom or hubris will determine the contours of the next great chapter in our cosmic story.

UFO disclosure has evolved from Cold War secrecy under Project Blue Book to contemporary transparency through ODNI and AARO reports. Media figures such as Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and Joe Rogan have mainstreamed the debate, while documentaries like The Age of Disclosure amplify claims of crash retrieval programs and non-human biologics. Beyond empirical anomalies, disclosure raises cultural, philosophical, and theological questions, challenging materialist assumptions and inviting consideration of interdimensional hypotheses. Whether UAPs are extraterrestrial, ultraterrestrial, or manifestations of higher-dimensional realities, their study demands epistemic humility and interdisciplinary inquiry. Disclosure is not merely about UFOs—it is about redefining humanity’s place in a universe that is likely far stranger than imagined.

The Brilliance of Pete Hegseth: Why the Big Beautiful Bill is so strategically important to bomb resistance to 4-5% GDP growth

While we are going through a process of transition, as we consider the signing of the Big Beautiful Bill and the amount of debt being added to it to fuel extraordinary growth, which on the surface appears irresponsible, but rather, and this is the case with the criticism of Jerome Powell at the Federal Reserve, everyone has to understand the attack on American culture that has taken place to grapple with the need to spend trillions of future dollars to jump-start an economy that has so many parasites in it.  We have to look at what the BBB is poised to do as Trump campaign promises, such as NO TAX ON TIPS, or NO TAX ON OVERTIME, and making the Trump tax cuts permanent, to get the big picture implications.  The philosophy of big spending is similar to how we would approach a military engagement.  Bombs, missiles, and troops cost a lot of money, and whenever you fight a war, on any level, it is usually an inspiration for debt, because very little that is profitable comes out of war.  For instance, the recent bombing of Iran, which most people generally support and attribute to Trump being very successful, and people are very proud of its success, cost around $500 million.  The B2 operations cost alone is $38.85 million, the GBU-57 bombs are $280 million, the Tomahawk missiles are $48 million, and all the supporting assets are $15 million.  That’s a lot of money to spend on one bombing campaign, and a prolonged war can quickly exceed all possible revenue sources and throw everyone into massive debts.  That’s why I said there would be no war with Iran, because Iran simply can’t spend money at that scale to fight a war.  War costs money, and if a country doesn’t have access to cash, it can’t fight a war.  Looked at another way, what’s the value of a gun if you can’t afford the bullets? 

I do, and I get it! Let’s get GDP growth over 3%, 4-5% at least!

And that makes Trump’s appointment of Pete Hegseth from Fox News into the Defense Secretary position that much more appropriate because in the past when we have spent this kind of money on military operations, we always had some stiff who would stand in front of a hostile socialist media and try to explain why what we did was a good thing.  However, Trump understands these situations very well; his knowledge comes from many sleepless nights of worrying about how to make deals and knowing how to get the most bang for his buck, so to speak.  In order to force peace in the Middle East, the threat of nuclear war had to be taken off the table.  Iran had to lose that leverage point in the conversation.  So Israel opened the door to a military attack, targeted at limited casualties and mostly cosmetic, to take that piece of hostility off the world stage.  So Trump sent in the B-2s at the extraordinary cost mentioned, around $500 million.  Anticipating the tremendous success and knowing that Iran can’t outspend anybody in a prolonged war, because they don’t have many missiles left to shoot and nobody in the world can give them new ones at the rate they would require, they had no choice but to play nice and sit at the table and talk about peace with Israel.  But even all that wasn’t enough; Trump had to have someone like Pete Hegseth, who understands how the media works and can talk on their terms, to explain it all to the world appropriately.  Otherwise, all that money spent on success wouldn’t mean anything in the end. 

Pete Hegseth, when he gave his press conference briefing to explain the effectiveness of the B2 raid, which essentially took Iran off the map of world terrorism sponsorship, was brilliant.  If that were all he did from now on, that would have been enough.  Pete Hegseth was fabulous, and I think it will go down in history as one of the most fantastic explanations of military endeavor in the world.  It’s not just the cost involved, but the human ingenuity that usually goes unsaid, for which Pete Hegseth was able to communicate.  To have the ability to take off on a secret mission from Missouri, at the fantastic Whiteman Air Force Base in Knob Noter, just 70 miles south of Kansas City and to fly non stop to Iran on the other side of the world and drop bombs to such a precision that these guys did, then be headed home before anybody in Iran even knew to look up in the sky, was a remarkable feat.  Astonishing actually.  And the group landed back at Whiteman without a scratch, for which Pete Hegseth was able to provide a correct explanation.  If you’ve ever been to that part of the world, you know just how far away from anything that it is.  To have that kind of reach demonstrates to the world not just the monetary ability to conduct such a raid, which costs roughly $500 million every time, but also to have that kind of reach under stealth capabilities is a terrifying prospect for the rest of the world.  Nobody in the world could have pulled that operation off, and when Trump did it, he took the gas out of the winds of fire from the minds of the world and their hostilities.  So, yes, the money spent was worth it, even if it generated short-term debt, because the prosperity of peace will create many more opportunities for revenue. 

And that same mentality is what is in this Big Beautiful Bill.  I understand it; I love Warren Davidson, he’s my congressman, and I get not trusting anyone from the future to cut spending that’s done today.  It doesn’t make sense under any rules of responsible spending practices.  However, we are discussing military engagement against the hostile economic forces in the world that have been impacting our economy, and the scale of the cost structure is a result of their imposition.  And Trump is looking to dismantle those constraints with growth, in the same way that he is attacking the Federal Reserve for foolishly sitting on interest rate hikes under the guise of prudence and patience, when boldness and spontaneity are needed for the massive growth Trump intends.  The purpose of the Big Beautiful Bill is military; it is meant to cut revenue and reduce spending by exposing all those with their hands in the cookie jar, and to promote manufacturing growth among the people who do the work. The opportunity cost generated will be substantial.  The deficit generated, much like a B2 attack, will be measured in dollars up front.  But the intangibles that have a much higher value will be exploited for great opportunities that wouldn’t be achieved any other way.  The optimism created by the Big Beautiful Bill will far outpace the actual cost in dollars, which is controlled by so many hostile agents in the finance industry, and it will change the scale for how we measure debt.  So, the achievements of the passage and the first year of the Trump presidency in this second term will far outweigh the cost once the threats to our economic security are eliminated through capitalist rules of engagement.  When the other economies of the world collapse, due to their reliance on socialism, communism, and Marxism, the scale shifts for all considerations.  And revenue sources that cannot be considered at this point will become available to backfill any debt produced in the short term.  And, just as putting Pete Hegseth in position well before he was needed, the same kind of experience has gone into the mechanics behind this Big Beautiful Bill.  It’s not about money; it’s a military attack against the Lords of Easy Money and their control of the process of debt spending that is much more of a threat in the world than Iran ever was.  And it’s a way to bomb them where they hide in ways that take them off the map as the parasites that they always were.  And massive prosperity will follow in the wake of their destruction.

Why Trump Won the Debate Against Harris: Using illegal immigration as a military attack of treasonous intention

I didn’t think there was any question after President Trump’s and Kamala Harris’s debate.  I think she had an earpiece, and people were talking her through the event, just like the setup between cable news hosts and their producers.  I also think ABC gave her the questions ahead of time and that it was a three-way production against Trump.  But we knew that going in, and I thought Trump did a fantastic job.  And no, we are not a nation of complicit fools who put professional candor ahead of the merit of the work.  President Trump’s role, much to the frustration of the established order, was not to sit there like a polite boy in grade school waiting to drink from the drinking fountain and standing in line in the cafeteria and not to touch the person in front of him.  He was there to show he was a leader and that he was mad, as many of us are.  And that he was going to provide leadership against an established order that failed.  Politeness was not the proper method of delivery; anger was.  And Trump showed just how angry he was, which is what people voting wanted to see.  Someone should be furious about inflation, the expansion of useless government, and how America has been projected worldwide.  In all those respects, Trump established himself as he needed to under very hostile circumstances.  More importantly, which is the point of debate these days, Trump captured the only impressions that mattered in the wake of the discussion.  In the polls in the following days, Trump was +2 nationally.  The debate did not help Harris, nor did it hurt Trump.  If anything, independents are making a break for Trump now that they are thinking about the election, and that indicates Harris, with all the theatrics, did nothing to help her cause.

But when people look back at the history of this famous debate, they are going to remember only one thing, “they are eating the dogs, they are eating the cats,” which has turned into a significant TikTok campaign where people are singing songs to Trump’s words said during the debate which he said about the Haitian immigration into Springfield, Ohio.  I was just in Springfield, Ohio, last weekend. It has been a very nice town, but yes, it has a major illegal immigration problem where these Haitian immigrants were dropped off in the classic Democrat playbook of changing entire communities with an infusion of radically different people to purposely attack that culture and force it into a change state.  When it comes to Haitians, they come with some very radical ideas, particularly those of voodoo, which comes with the sacrifice of animals to the demons of existence.  Springfield, Ohio, is a very traditional, Christian small town, but because of its proximity just north of Dayton and west of Columbus off I-70, it makes it easy to drop off over 20,000 immigrants into a community of 60,000 to challenge their culture and change it away from traditional American, to an armpit of globalism.  That is certainly the case in Hamilton, Ohio, and Middletown, Ohio, to the south; purposeful strategies of doom were implemented in those communities to open the door to crime and to force the people residing there to flee into the country and away from Democrat policies.  This was done by replacing hard-working blue-collar cultures with lazy drug addicts masked behind racist facades to implement an attack vector of hostile intent, to destroy our country city by city from the inside, not with tanks and troops, but policy and fiscal mismanagement. 

Springfield’s strategy is to saturate the community with an open border policy in the heart of America and hope that the virus spreads into the surrounding countryside.  This is essentially what the political left has done in San Francisco, Denver, Colorado, Minnesota, and south Texas, particularly Austin.   They are doing it in Springfield, Ohio, and the residents are not happy.  We’ve all seen this before and were suckered by it. But we don’t plan to let this one slide into obscurity; people are talking about it, especially since these Haitians come with them with different dietary tendencies and religious practices that are still tied to the Stone Age.  In Springfield, there is much evidence that the pets of the people living there are being stolen and eaten due to a lack of food and voodoo practices from these incoming government-sponsored immigrants.  And it’s a tricky thing to witness up close.  However, Trump managed to put a tag on it that everyone could remember, and he had the guts to say it during a considerable international debate.  And it blew the doors off the established order that is getting its marching orders from the World Economic Forum and the George Soros Open Society Foundation. It’s not that complicated of a conspiracy.  Organizations seeking funding and corporate sponsorship share affiliation with progressive groups, so they adopt their globalist policies.  Haitian immigration into America’s heartland is part of their military strategy to take over the world.  But to disrupt that, Trump has cut to the heart of the matter with his gift of brand building, and that is the only thing people will remember from this debate, that he managed to put all that complicated story into a few sentences that people could understand, which is the genius behind, “they are eating the dogs, they are eating the cats.”  Brilliant!

I knew when Trump said he had won the debate because it showed that the established order did not control him, so people wanted to vote for him for president.  Even independents who do not think much of politics can see that they have not benefited from the system presented to us.  So, they have been looking for a disrupter for several election cycles.  Even Bernie Sanders, the open communist, was being looked at by these same independents because they wanted someone to disrupt that system.  The Democrat party and its relationship to the globalist movement understands that.  Kamala is actually to the political left of the communist Sanders.  However, she has shown that she doesn’t think much independently and will take orders from those who give them.  So she is a pick the globalists like and can work with, even down to the earpiece and rigged debate.  That is essentially what they plan for the White House and is precisely what voters don’t want.  So, with all that said, Trump won the debate, and he won the message.  He was the one who made his points clear and gave people things to think about in the days after.  But more importantly, he made the whole debate about not what the Harris people wanted to make it, on a policy that fed their narrative, but on an open border that has been a disaster for all Americans, and the role the Biden administration, which Harris is a part of, in making it that way either by sheer stupidity or by deliberate design and strategy.  And it wasn’t just a blow against Kamala Harris; it was a blow against globalism at its heart and their scheme of changing American cities from good places into hell holes with the plights of illegal immigration that are essentially treasonous plots intent to destroy our country from the inside out so that global criminal networks connected to international finance can profit off the demise.  And it’s been a clear act of treason.

Here’s the problem with the Federal Reserve, and it goes back to 1913, when after many attempts at centralized banking, the Fed was created to handle monetary policy.  And it hasn’t been an experiment that worked, it simply ushered in a communist approach to banking that was aligned with a progressive invasion of the United States at the turn of the last century, and essentially the policy of the Fed has been to cover up its many mistakes over that entire duration.  I am not so much of an anti-Fed guy.  I think a country needs to manage its money supply.  But letting the banks form a partnership with the government has been disastrous, and the ultimate form of that destruction was in the creation of Larry Fink, the most dangerous man in the world.  Larry Fink would be nobody if not for the Fed.  Jerome Powell, Janet Yellen, and Ben Bernanke used reckless quantitative easing to print endless amounts of money and pour it into Wall Street, where people like Fink would flow it into the economy.  And the net result of that scandalous activity has made BlackRock, the company Larry Fink manages that controls around a ten trillion dollars of assets, the most politically active company in the world, and Larry Fink is far more powerful than an American president, even to the point where this unregulated power can then control elections and policy that superseded the American constitution in dangerous ways.  By printing phony money and giving it to people like Fink to manage, the Fed gave the government power it never would have had otherwise, and now the results are out of control.  Most of the bad things we are seeing now in the political world are because of Larry Fink, his connection to the World Economic Forum, and a leftist radicalism that is being imposed on people that they would never vote for. 

People are starting to get it when these are the discussions on the Joe Rogan podcast, which discussed this topic recently.  People are now seeing how out of control this Larry Fink thing is.  Larry Fink, because of BlackRock and the way the Fed made it powerful with Modern Monetary Theory, and that it now manages the money in China, as the only money manager that can do so, is essentially the president of the world, ruling behind the scenes and imposing politics that is far removed from any representative form of government.  This was a hostile takeover using Larry Fink as the figurehead to do what people like Napolean, or Genghis Kahn, the legendary figure in history, known for his conquests and his role in founding the Mongol Empire. He was a skilled warrior and a brilliant strategist, and his military campaigns changed the course of history. Despite his reputation as a ruthless conqueror, Genghis Kahn is still remembered as one of the most influential figures in world history. Alexander the Great similarly comes to mind.  Larry Fink is right there with the rest of them. Still, he was not a warrior; he was a person willing to carry the water of the shadow government running behind the Fed. This corporate alliance sought to take power in the world, and they made their move by propping up Larry to be that new world conqueror.    

And you conquer this new world by not taking over countries.  You ignore the politics of nations, take away the people’s will, and take control of where they work, how they spend their money, and on what.  Larry wanted to be in politics during college and just happened to be in a position to acquire wealth through Wall Street.  He only had success once he was willing to partner with the Fed after the housing collapse of 2008.  But what risk was there really when the Fed was ready to print infinite amounts of wealth and pump it into Wall Street through Larry and his friends?  The writing is certainly on the wall with this one, much more dramatic than in Nebuchadnezzar’s time, the attackers planned the downfall of America, and the plan was to cover it all up before people realized it with Central Bank Digital Currency.  It was a different kind of war which Fink has been talking about in his letters to CEOs, such as the one in 2022, “In consultation with our stakeholders, BlackRock has also joined the global effort to isolate Russia from financial markets, the ramifications of this war are not limited to Eastern Europe, they are layered on top of a pandemic that has already had profound effects on political, economic, and social trends.  The impact will reverberate for decades to come in ways we can’t yet predict.”  Then ultimately, Fink finished up his address by saying, “As I wrote in my letter to CEOs earlier this year, (2022) access to capital markets is a privilege, not a right.  And following Russia’s invasion, we saw how the private sector quickly terminated long-standing business and investment relationships” to implement political objectives.  I’ve read all of Larry’s dumb letters to CEOs each year and always thought of him as a fool.  But he’s a very politically active fool who was given the power of money through fake monetary Fed policy to take global military power through the private sector to bypass the actions of war generally regulated to countries to play out. 

That is why Larry Fink, the very left-leaning political activist that nobody voted for, is directly connected to the radical Marxist activism of the World Economic Forum and was given the power by the Fed, which is also connected to the World Economic Forum, and strategies by China for global communism is the most dangerous person in the world.  He now manages most of our 401K plans and conquers us by capturing wealth, part of his leftist ideology, whether we like it or not.  And now that BlackRock is the majority shareholder of most American corporations, he has taken away the average shareholder values and converted them to ESG-driven stakeholder values.  And at some point, people will be furious at Larry Fink and the Fed.  But they hope that before people figure out what they have been doing, America will be on a digital dollar, and they can hide their scam behind the push of a button where a centralized authority will control all value for all money.  So while the world looks at the conflict in Ukraine, the potential conflict in Taiwan by China, or the latest missile flight in North Korea, the real fight has been by BlackRock, led by Larry Fink, to take over the world’s supply of money, and to place it in the hands of the real threat in the world, the World Economic Forum.  And because we are all a little complicit in the action because of our money management, we tend not to look at it in favor of a more classic interpretation of war.  But those wars no longer matter.  The real fight is with finance, who controls it.  Larry Fink is now more powerful than any president in the world, and he knows it.  But he didn’t get that way from well-fought battles as a master strategist.  But because he was willing to be the bag man for the Fed, which is a power they never should have had in the first place.

The Deep State Must Be Destroyed: They started the war, elections are the best path to a peaceful resolution

Please make no mistake about it, the World Economic Forum types; the Deep State as it operates in the world is at war with us in the United States.  They have attacked us through controls over finance, and their intentions were just as hostile as any other kind of military attack.  I understand Steve Bannon’s speech at Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point Conference in Florida, where President Trump also spoke.  Supporting Trump is a vote against the Deep State that has attacked our country, and the general enemy is globalism.  And many people, like Steve Bannon and Trump, get it.  We are not having a policy discussion in America.  We are at war.  Now this just didn’t come out of nowhere.  I have quite a few people I associate with who have IQs over 180 who have been trying to recruit me to the Sovereign Citizen Movement for most of my adult life.  The Sovereign Citizen Movement is a controversial group of individuals who believe that they are not subject to the laws and regulations of the government. They often use their beliefs to justify illegal actions, such as refusing to pay taxes or obtaining false identification.  I think some of my friends in this movement are too smart to play the game and they gave up their citizenship years ago and would rationalize to me that America is not America.   There is no Constitution; there is no Bill of Rights.  America is a corporation.  It is not the land of the free, and I was being delusional to believe any of it.  So when it comes to compliance with the Desecrators of Davo’s enemy, who want to control the world through globalism, I know many people in various pockets that will fight hard should the time call for it. 

I can’t say that any of those rebel factions are wrong, but my statement is different, which is why I’m not in their movement. I don’t care what some central bankers think; I don’t worship the Rothchilds or any globalist ruling families. They are all idiots, and their money means nothing to me. And if they want a fight, well, I’m always happy to give it to them because I believe in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. And that is what I am willing to fight for. It doesn’t make any difference to me whether or not they accept those laws. I always viewed some of those intelligent friends as chickens for not wanting to stand and fight for their country. And I don’t mean signing up for the military, even though that’s how most people think. To me, the army of our government is a branch of globalism. I have very different views on it. But fighting for the Constitution, the First and Second Amendments, the Fourth and Fifth, which are routinely violated by this criminal syndicate Biden administration, is worth fighting for. So far, that fight is in politics. If votes matter, I’d say utilize them as far as possible. But submission to these globalist forces that have infected our institutions, our government at every level. No, that isn’t in the playbook—no submission to anything but American sovereignty. Running and hiding in other countries without American citizenship is not my idea of fighting. It’s running, so I have very different views than the Sovereign Citizens. I understand their argument but disagree with the resolution for correction. The real fight to fight is on the finance front. This isn’t a war of tangible battlegrounds like we’ve seen in the Revolutionary War or the Civil War. This is one at the bank and its connections to international investors who want to destroy our country from the outside in.

But just like attackers on the battlefield in the past, during the Civil War, for instance, railroads were targets for destroying supply chains. The same is happening now, but it is choking off our corporate structure in board rooms. The attack is to starve Americans of their freedoms slowly, to leave the infrastructure intact for a communist takeover that has been planned through globalism for over a hundred years. And now they are cashing their checks, and the moment is upon us. I would say the attackers have a math problem; so long as there are people like Steve Bannon out there and Charlie Kirk, who know how to fight these fights the right way, it is impossible for the Deep State to win, where the Sovereign Citizens believed all along that the whole effort was pointless. I would say it’s far from hopeless, especially if you understand the intentions of the Deep State. For years they have operated in the background, in hiding. But now they are exposed in the light of day and won’t last long like this. So I feel wonderful about America’s chances. What Bannon says about Trump is true. Trump is a peaceful resolution to this conflict. But if the Deep State insists on confrontation and things go sideways, that’s on them. More than enough people are willing to fight to destroy the Deep State.

And that’s what we are talking about here, the Destruction of the Deep State.  They went to war with us; we were minding our own business.  We were living by the rules of the Constitution.  They were the ones who came along in an attempt to destroy our founding documents, and people now understand the implications of that effort.  Today I spent the entire day with some excellent friends who remind me every year at the Annie Oakley Festival, which I have been a part of for over two decades, that many people are more than willing to fight the Deep State.  They are minding their own business and don’t even know what a Deep State is.  But tell them they can’t buy a gun, or vote for Trump, or that they can’t get gas for their truck, and they will be looking for someone to pay for interrupting their lives.  And you can bet I’ll point them in the right direction.  I’ll be happy to.  The Deep State deserves destruction for what they have done to America and is attempting to do presently to the world.  They are the ones who attacked us; they have killed innocent people and have looted trillions of dollars from all of us.  They are bloodthirsty killers hiding behind a fancy façade of polite “European” society.  And they aren’t welcome.  I’d say I interact with a very “diverse” number of people, and I know how many people find the message of the War Room with Steve Bannon a better representation of their political alliances than Fox News, or any of the other mainstream offerings.  So all the strategies of the Deep State are pretty flimsy.  They are ruthless, and they have shown us their teeth.  But failure is in their future, and how painful it is, is really up to them.  It’s what they do; next, that will decide how that future proceeds.  But domination and compliance of American society it’s not in the cards.

Alex Soros is Taking Over the 25 Billion Domestic Terrorism Business: But it won’t be as easy for him as it was with George

It looks ol’ George Soros, in his 90s, is finally hanging up his financial holsters in the economic terrorism business and is passing it to his young son Alex.  And the concern is that Alex is more politically active and political than his dad, who is known worldwide as one of the most dangerous people in existence.  George Soros has been working to collapse the United States with economic depravity and has personally funded many acts of terror for most of his adult life.  But in his old age, he has become something of a shell of his former self, and his obvious hope is that his 30-something son will do much more damage now that he’s inherited the multibillion-dollar fortune of his father to fund the globalist intentions of the family business.  The Soros brand has been aggressive in buying up whoring politicians around the world and pushing them into far-left causes.  And “whore” is a fair word.  It’s the word I apply to those who will do anything for money.

Everyone knows that God has blessed me with many ripe talents; if I wanted to, I could likely be one of the wealthiest people on the planet.  As I say all the time, getting rich is easy.  Being a good person is not, so becoming a whore, someone who sells themselves for money, isn’t hard.  In many ways, I view Elon Musk as a whore, because he made much of his money off government subsidies.  He did good things with the money, but he had to play the game to get there, and in a lot of ways, he was not free to express himself publicly because of his relationship with China.  You might meet whores who are nice people, perhaps even intelligent.  But if they are whores and someone is buying them, they switch into boot-licking mode and are no longer themselves because there is money to be made.  And that’s the difference.  I have purposely said no to that kind of thing all my life, and I won’t start now.  And what I have in return for all that restriction is “objectivity” and “freedom of thought,” things I consider much more valuable than money.  And that’s what’s required to call the Soros operation what it is, terrorism.  Because over the years, Daddy George has worked with plenty of whores to help them commit domestic terrorism without being prosecuted because there are plenty of whores out there who love the easy money.

George is proud of Alex.  The old man has other sons, but this one has shown his father that he’s the one most interested in open borders and other radical leftist causes.  So it was Alex who inherited his father’s 25 billion dollar business for conquering national sovereignty, and there are plenty of whores like the Biden crime family, Chuck Schumer, and Kamala Harris who are all too eager to sell away anything to get their hands on some of the Soros money.  By themselves, the Soros family has been very dangerous, and obviously, they have gotten away with it because they sprinkle so much money around that they are very popular.  If you’ve ever been to a strip joint with lots of people we feel more comfortable calling whores, women who sell their bodies for sexual gratification, you can see this behavior in its raw form.  The pretty girls who make themselves available to anybody with money under any condition are considered cheap, unethical, and dangerous to the creation and maintenance of a family.  A married woman attached to a husband who would go to one of these places and give such a girl hard-earned family money for some sexual fulfillment outside of the marriage would have every right to be upset because the act is an attack on everything that motivates the couple to stay married and build a family.  Once sex becomes cheapened, then the essential value of a husband and wife relationship is destroyed. 

That is essentially what George Soros has done in the world politically.  Except it hasn’t been over the topic of sex directly.  It’s been on topics like financial stability through currency manipulation, open borders, and manipulating law and order by funding the campaigns of excessively liberal district attorneys.  George has been that guy in the whore house who tips all the girls and pays for a lap dance from each one and even pays for lap dances for other people because his goal has been to use his money to shape policy, to be the cool guy who spreads his wealth to the lazy and unrighteous.  In many ways, what George Soros has done to American politicians and policymakers has been worse than what goes on in a whorehouse or a strip club.  Sex is just one product of misconduct.  But in such actions, the attack of a family is the destructive mechanism inspired by evil deeds.  In politics, the attack is on our nation, so it impacts every person living in that nation.  We are all disgraced wives to some degree or another, being cheated on by our political class who finds the temptation of Soros money too alluring to say no, or to behave in some whoring fashion because it’s easy to get.  Then once they take it, they are scared for life, so they make no future attempt at ethical behavior, and our society declines in value, just like the family struggling with the tendencies of a cheating husband leaving his wife alone at home while he sluts himself to strange women for the silly benefit of personal pleasure.  But the Soros family isn’t alone in this enterprise.  Many of these billionaires use their money for radical leftist causes in similar ways, and they have been the greatest threat to us all.  China and Ukraine are just distractions.  The real danger has come from these people.

But I don’t think it will be as easy for Alex as it was for his dad.  George was able to hide in the background more than his son will be.  More people are onto this whoring game than they used to be, and I think Alex Soros is going to get criticism where his father got awards.  People don’t like a society of cheats and scandals, and now that it’s been quite visible who in our society goes to the whorehouses and cheats on their constituents for easy pleasure, voters have more value in their say than they used to.  These are not the times of tradition that brought us to this precipice of doom.  As I heard this news, my first thought was that I felt a bit sorry for Alex, the kid.  I don’t think 25 billion dollars is much, and it could be turned around and used against the kid easily If people understand how the game works.  People are tired of whoring politicians and business leaders who are unethical and lazy.  And they are ready to take power back and give it to those who aren’t tempted by the whorehouses of life.  As we now know that there are lots of whores in the world, not just 22-year-old girls who are too lazy to do anything productive in their life but use their looks for some easy money while they can still get it.  Plenty of middle-aged men laugh at all the jokes from someone they consider richer than they are, hoping that some benefit might come their way from the relationship, which is cheap in its own way.  Not much different than the whore selling sex.  And in a world where people pass judgment correctly on such people, it will be much harder for Alex Soros to operate than it was for his father, which will be fun to watch.

Not Even Aliens Can Save The FBI From Public Wrath: Why Jim Comey says it can only be Joe Biden

Now there is a proper context to the recent interview with Jim Comey, the former FBI Director when he said that only Joe Biden could be president in 2024. With all that we know about Biden’s health, his scandals, and his ineffectiveness, now everyone can see just how radicalized the FBI has been for a long time. Too many people gave them the benefit of the doubt and wanted to think they were a patriotic group. But now we know, and it’s especially obvious with the latest indictment case against Trump with Jack Smith and the monstrously corrupt Department of Justice, how the game has been played for a very long time, and to keep all those sins from the past concealed, they have to have a dummy in the White House who will do what they say, and won’t go poking around in all the vast evils committed by the 4th branch of government, which believes its totally unaccountable to the voters of America. Comey said the quiet part out loud, which was a bit redeeming. I couldn’t help but reflect on the spot on CNN where I made my prophetic utterances about just how corrupt Jim Comey was after Trump fired him in 2017. To much controversy, I told CNN that Comey was a liar, a practitioner of falsehoods, which they found repulsive. How could I say such a thing? It was a different world back then; America was much more innocent about how out of control the intelligence agencies were. Some people talked about the NSA’s massive power and that FBI agents were spying on people. That the CIA was behind the killing of JFK. But just a few short years later, in 2023, much of what conspiracy theorists had been thinking about turned out to be true. We now know the CIA was behind the JFK killing because it’s in declassified documents; we know that the FBI has been involved in a lot of nefarious scandals because they have been caught working with Democrats to keep them in power, and they have been aggressively engaged in a coup to remove President Trump from office. 

To keep the FBI safe from the wrath of the public, they must have Joe Biden in the White House; otherwise, the whole house of cards is built on lie after lie after lie for the fulfillment of Democrat globalism, an alignment with communist China, will come crashing down. And Comey knows it. For them, it’s Joe Biden or bust. The corrupt old man can’t do anything but run because behind him are so many crimes that he must sell to the public through a kind of grandpa image that the entire system that is hiding behind him would otherwise be exposed. They have no other choice; they are so vulnerable that their activism over the years is finally catching up to them. There is nothing to this Jack Smith story. It will be lucky ever to make it to court. The entire effort was in the back pocket of the Department of Justice for when the heavy stuff about Burisma bribes totaling over 5 million dollars hit the news, where the Biden family was caught in a shell corporation game of influence peddling during his Vice President days. A few hours after that news story hit, they launched this indictment of President Trump, the leading Republican player poised to dethrone the illegally installed Joe Biden into the White House. The system knows that if they hope to survive public scrutiny, all the sins that have been committed, they must keep Joe Biden in office, one way or the other. Who still thinks that there wasn’t election fraud in 2020? 

And you know it’s bad when the alien stories start to emerge; whistleblowers are coming forth to talk about all the alien craft that our military has that they have been experimenting on. And that the military has alien bodies in their possession. This has been on the mainstream news recently, along with an alien crash in Las Vegas where 8-foot green visitors from another planet struggled to conceal their cloaked craft after it left a mark in a parking lot. One of the aliens actually tried to get into a piece of construction equipment to drive it. As I heard these reports, they have a lot of credibility. I’m not one who doesn’t believe in space aliens. I actually think they are quite common, and the Vegas story, as well as the military leak, doesn’t surprise me in the least. I think aliens are as common in the world as Chinese people or Russians. Interacting with them might be a novelty from a foreign culture, but they are just living beings like the rest of us—no big deal. The conspiracy part of it is that the various intelligence agencies have tried to create a narrative about them that controls what people think. Such as acknowledging that they exist and that anybody who thinks such a thing is a massive conspiracy theorist. However, when the FBI needs to shake people away from investigating them, the alien stories hit the networks who obligingly remind the public that we might be facing a menace from outer space and that we need the FBI and the CIA to keep us safe. 

An alien invasion from forces beyond planet Earth is much less of a threat than our FBI. The American intelligence agencies are corrupt beyond repair and have shown the dangers of trusting people like Jim Comey too much. And I’ll go ahead and say it, once all these indictments go nowhere, and Trump is still the leading candidate for the GOP to run against the hapless Joe Biden and the mountains of corruption that the FBI is attempting to hide to keep him in power, there is going to be a very violent panic from these people, once they have to face the facts that they are not in power. They were never in power. Americans employed them to do a job, and they did not do that job. They let us down. And the stacks of lies they have been hiding behind all this time are coming apart rapidly. I said Comey was a crook well in advance of all that we have learned, and I’m saying now that the entire mechanism of the administrative state are on the ballot in 2024. Yes, they will attempt to cheat in massive ways because they have no other way to stay in power. But people are finally waking up to just how bad a lot of these people have always been.

The FBI was not our friend. The intelligence agencies have not been working to preserve the American Constitution. They have been conspirators, malicious agents of destruction. And they have been caught and only have Joe Biden’s presidency to shield them from punishment. Not even the alien stories can save them any longer. Which is quite a thing to consider; that’s how bad it is. They have been lying to us for years to acquire power and steer America in a hostile, globalist direction, intentionally misleading the public toward their destruction. And now their fate rests behind the efforts of one beat-up, corrupt old man. Yes, the desperation is showing.

Killing the Sacred Cow of Military in America: Republicans have been suckers in supporting just another big government scam that only the United Nations benefits from

This one might be a little controversial, but we must discuss it because a trick is being applied that brings conservatives to mass collectivism and partners Republicans with diabolical America-hating Democrats with common ground. This was never more obvious than the bone that was thrown into the last bill that was passed in Congress to commit trillions of dollars more in debt over the nation just to get some defense spending that Democrats pretend to protest against. But in truth, it’s a bone they always throw to the dogs of Republicans they appease time and time again out of a misplaced sentiment toward the military. I’ve never been one of those “thank you for your service” kind of people when I meet people who serve. Entry into the military for me is just another government job, and I am always weary of the power government has to command individual lives toward mass collectivism. The first thing ritually that is done in the military during boot camp is to strip people of their individual selves, the people their parents made them, shave them, give them a uniform and integrate them into the system of the military, the yes sirs, no sirs of process and the blind compliance to a culture that gives orders and soldiers are to follow them without a thought. I don’t see much of anything good about that system, and I never have. But over time, the people who hate the American way have turned such a process into a representation of morality, and I find the whole thing reprehensible. 

Of course, when people hear my thoughts on it, they are quick to say, “but they died or committed themselves to it for your freedom.” Well, that is not how our military works, as exposed during the Trump administration, specifically in North Korea. The American Constitution is what gives me freedom, and our military isn’t fighting for it; they are fighting against it. The scam is that by selling themselves as advocates of American independence, our military then gets used as the world’s police, the military that the United Nations never could legally hold, and we do all that they have no power to do themselves. We get involved in all kinds of wars dedicated to globalism and disguise it as “global security,” and while everyone is too busy following orders to question it, or Fox News is doing the latest color ceremonies dedicated to those who serve, the real villains are stirring up war all over the world and counting on American troops to advance the needs of the United Nations one world government and using our money and troops to perform the task. When we were told for years that North Korea was the biggest menace on planet earth, then within a short time of taking office, President Trump was crossing the line into North Korea and shaking hands with the basketball fan who happens to love America very much, much more was revealed than just The Art of the Deal by Trump to break down barriers to negotiation. Our military, once the League of Nations was started in Europe and the United Nations was created, was not to serve the interests of America; it was built, funded, and populated with soldiers to fulfill the needs of progressive intent and then to use the reputation of America to take the hit as imperialists. And in that way, the political left could complain about American involvement in fighting communists in Vietnam while also pushing for big government solutions like what create a big military in the first place.  By default, Republicans filled that gap, just as the plan called for. American troops were now the empire builders England used to be accused of. Meanwhile, it was just announced that Vietnam is one of the fast-growing economies in the world, on par with China, another propped-up country by the United Nations types. The wars clear out political opposition, whereas international sympathy follows in the wake, and the communist regimes then take over in running those parts of the world. 

To get Americans to support such a structure, patriotism has been used to sell it, that our children join, get a free education, learn to become supporters of woke culture, take orders, wear the uniform, and in that way, we never asked the dreadful questions as to who does the American military support? If our borders aren’t important, as the Biden administration has made clear it’s not, then who does the American military support? Well, the amount of money we have been sending to Ukraine answers that question. Our military as it is today exists to advance the needs of the United Nations and big centralized governments all over the world. And it’s not patriotic to blindly support them. We should be looking to shrink their influence into something Americans could easily control with the Second Amendment. Because under the kind of political regimes we have in America today, as we have seen from our own FBI and CIA, our military is more of a threat than something we should be celebrating blindly. 

I’ve had to talk about our local Sheriff Jones a lot lately, and many people wonder why over time, I wasn’t closer to him within the Butler County Republican Party, just north of Cincinnati, Ohio. The truth is, we used to be until we found ourselves on opposite ends of a public union issue way back in 2012. At that point, our relationship had become very strained. Then we were at an event at the Ronald Reagan Center at the Voice of America in West Chester, and as he usually does, he led the ceremonies dedicated to the military, which he is very voraciously supportive of. As I usually do at these events, I shudder at the blind compliance that such people like him have to the saluting of the troops, the perfection of uniform compliance, and how quickly he was to accept that the individual is just a small part to a greater good, which in this case was the support of a military with the mask of the American flag on it. I have seen him perform such ceremonies at Republican events many times. Still, that particular time at the Ronald Reagan Center gave me the creeps, not just about him. Still, in how many people who call themselves Republicans are so quickly enticed like moths to the flame in supporting military service without a clear understanding of how that military service actually protects our Constitution when in fact, the people who most benefit from our military around the world want to see our Constitution destroyed. And there are plenty of Sheriff Jones types all over the nation, on Fox News, in every local parade, who sell the military to the public as something good. But I see it and always have as dangerous to the ideas of American values and the eventual erosion of Constitutional protections. Just as we saw during Covid, and forever supporters of the expansion of the NDAA, our military is the first body of government that often violates the Constitution they were sworn to protect. But in blindly supporting the orders of superiors, our own children are often used to shred that Constitution at every opportunity, especially when globalist forces like the United Nations declare something to be an emergency. Then, our military is turned on us, and we learn too late that it never served America. Our military serves the aims of globalism, and they have tricked us into supporting such a move by draping the flag over the effort and talking about sacrifice as if we were a civilization of bloodthirsty Aztecs. And we learn too late that our military never served us at all, but a sinister collection of globalism who fund the efforts of politics and have captured our elected officials in ways we could never have imagined. And because of blind patriotism, we never see the problem until it’s too late, and they are on our doorsteps kicking in our doors and violating our constitutional rights with a smile on their faces because they took us as suckers, and we proved them correct.

Democrats Own The Crime Spikes in America: Yet, there is something more sinister happening than just stupidity

Even though it’s an election year and Democrats everywhere want you to forget about their defund the police movement, the crime rates that we are seeing today are entirely their fault. The amount of lawlessness present in our current society is incomprehensibly reprehensible. When I was a kid, I thought you could go to jail over stealing a pack of gum. Now, you can sell drugs, smuggle people over the border, rob your neighbor and steal everything they have, and expect to get away with it. Places where there isn’t much concealed carry, have seen crime rates spike, vandalism, rape, abuse of every kind going through the roof. Gangs are flourishing, just as the cartels of Mexico are. And on a global scale, every type of criminal, even political ones, is thriving like never before. Criminals created these policies of no legal enforcement, and they are not motivated to change their behavior, except to trick voters into keeping them in office so they can do more damage. But don’t think for a second any of this is by accident. No, what we are seeing with this decriminalization of criminal conduct is a more powerful attack, long-planned. From the Soros-backed district attornies to the empowerment of the drug cartels to harass good people like some villains from an old western, the real target has always been our concept of constitutional law in America. All Democrats, to some extent, especially if they call themselves progressives, desire to destroy our idea of a constitution and collapse it into something reinterpreted by new forces of a criminal syndicate operating out of the United Nations. So when they wanted to defund the police, they meant to destroy America at its core of constitutional law and that oath that binds us all together.

Now I’m not one of those people who cry at the thought of a “thin blue line.” I have always had a wary eye toward law enforcement and an even more scrutinous opinion about military service. I am not a fan of “service” to something “bigger” than ourselves. That type of terminology is just more rhetoric from the Bibles of collectivism. The political spectrum we are all told is essential isn’t even on the scale of what the Anti-Federalists who gave us the Bill of Rights were ever thinking. They would be apocalyptic at the level of Federal control they see today.   For instance, the political scale of fascism on the right and communism on the left is entirely wrong, yet nobody in our media gets it right. Even Tucker Carlson on Fox News and Sean Hannity talk about our society in terms of that scale, trying to stay “fair and balanced” within it. While preaching about our “leaders” all the time and where they are on that scale, they still salute fallen soldiers and cops crying over their role in the “thin blue line” and feel they must answer to where they are on that scale, to the right, left, or center. But in my world, it’s all on the left. Fascism is a concept of the left; Hitler was a socialist. None of what the modern media calls the “political left or right” is what is in our Constitution. Our way of law and order in America isn’t even on the scale of what the rest of the world is doing, which is just another form of attack from global forces at the American way of life. 

Just because a cop comes into a Waffle House at 2 AM with a gun on their hip is not a call to worship for me. Under a corrupt administration, that may be my next enemy. If we agree to serve the Constitution, we have common ground. I will be armed too, and a gunfight right then and there would not be to anybody’s advantage because we at least want the same type of society, governed by our Constitution’s rules. But if politicians come into power and try to force changes in Constitutional law, like what we have seen with Roger Stone and Paul Manafort, then that cop might become the new enemy. Federal troops might be good guys under the Trump administration, but those same armed forces may be the enemy breaking down your door at 6 AM with the media truck filming from down the road under Biden’s DOJ. So when a bunch of soldiers comes into that Waffle House at the same hour, all looking for a nice omelet, you won’t see me going over and thanking them for their service. Instead, I would keep my eye on them, weary of their intentions because I might not like who is giving them orders as soldiers following orders. A system never has a higher priority over individual will, and that is what we do when we blindly worship the “thin blue line” or a flag-waving soldier. They may be friends at a Fourth of July parade. Still, they can turn into a menace in a moment over whoever controls the region’s politics, whether they adhere to Constitutional principles or whether they want to get rid of them for something new entirely. 

And that is the actual target radius that Democrats have been caught on with these spikes in crime. I will say that we need police, and we need the military, even if we must keep our eye on them at all times and always keep our own guns nearby in case things go wrong. But the attack on our American Constitution is an attack on the idea of the pronoun “I.” The concept of individual ownership, of one’s own life, children, wife, house, and car. By unleashing a crime wave upon America, the real target is the idea of self and to surrender that self to the blob of collectivism. That even the rich person is equal to the homeless person. The drug addict is privileged to the big screen television of the rich person who has led a clean life, worked hard at a job, a family, and other material possessions to show all that hard work. The Democrats want to erase that measure of work, the possessions that a person acquires over time, and to make it so that the incentive to do so is pointless. And in that way, we would give up our American way of life and begin to accept something else designed at the United Nations. That is what they are after; it’s not that they are crazy. Their attack on America is purposeful and long-planned. Their target against us is in destroying the concept of any form of self-possession, such as “my thoughts” or “my work.” Before Democrats and communists worldwide can ever have a collective-based society, they must remove the pronoun “I” from American culture.

For those who have traveled worldwide, you might instantly recognize this problem when away from America’s shores. The concept of “I” is much removed from daily conversations. Instead, the idea of “We” is much more prevalent. That is undoubtedly prevalent in China, India, and Vietnam. The concept “we” is the center of their society. And increasingly, we see this in Europe as well. And Democrats in America are intent on bringing it to America, and that means attacking the Constitution of our law and order society that protects all ideas of “I” and “My” and replacing that emphases with “we” and “us.” That is where the law enforcement trick comes into place because what are they in service to? We honor police officers and military troops not as individuals but as sacrifices to a “greater good,” a system beyond oneself. So just as in the discussions of the political spectrum being fascism on one side, which might include police brutality, and overly-centralized state-run communism on the left, the entire measurement is focused on a sacrifice of the self to the consumption of the whole. The soldier is no longer a representative of the self; they are now embodiments of a larger body for which they are but “one.” Do you see how they played that little trick? And most everyone in society has fallen for it. So this is a problem far more significant than just defunding the police and seeing crime waves ensue. That was part of the plan all along. It’s part of the Democrat’s desire to eliminate the concept of an American Constitution altogether. And it is there were the many divides of our country start and end.
