Yes, I Have Been Having an Affair: Biden is an illegal president, and everything he has done is invalid

I do have to admit it’s been a rough time.  And sometimes even the best marriages are lured by temptations.  Yes, my wife and I just celebrated our 36th wedding anniversary, so that makes this extra hard to talk about because I have hurt her.  And I didn’t want to.  But this has been a time where I have sought the comfort of something outside our marriage, which I think many people are resorting to.  And maybe they should.  Yet even under the worst conditions, no spouse should have to have their marriage compromised with the attention of other elements in their relationship with their husband.  So, for that, I have to come clean.  The whole world will find out about it anyway, so I might as well address the issue before it spirals out of control.  A lot of people pray that I stumble on my own feet at some point and that they can bust me for something, and that constant pressure is part of it.  It’s not easy to run a marriage under these dire circumstances.  But that’s no excuse.  Right is right, and wrong is wrong; there is no way to blend the two.  So yes, I have been having an affair, a love affair.  It has made me feel a lot better about other things, and after I explained it to my wife, she understood.  She was very supportive.  But I had to tell her that I have been having a love affair and spending much time with our American Constitution, and reading precisely over and over again, the Amendments, 4-6, which deals with prosecutions and unreasonable searches and seizures.  Our Constitution is so fantastic and beautiful that it has brought illustrious temptations into our marriage. 

Our law of the land, the Constitution, is quite clear, and everything thrown at President Trump has directly violated his rights under those laws.  One thing that no government in the world has a right to do is interpret what those words in our Constitution mean for us.  We have a Supreme Court that is designed to do that on an exception basis ultimately, but what we have been seeing from our own government for many years, especially these last few where Bide was inserted illegally by a corrupt group of insurgents and has made a real mess of things, so they have continued to break the law by trying to get rid of the Constitution altogether and make up new laws so they can never be prosecuted for the crimes they have already committed.  But the 4th Amendment, the 5th Amendment, and especially in this last case in New York with Trump, the 6th Amendment are specifically important and are designed to limit the powers of government in preserving individual property rights, starting with personal integrity.  A government, for its safety and the powers it has acquired, does not have the right to destroy personal rights under any circumstance.  Ultimately, that is why all the cases against Trump will be thrown out on appeal, and all the attorneys know it.  They did not have the power to do what they did, but this is a classic Soros playbook, and why he should be arrested as a domestic terrorist for attempting to overthrow our country with his financial influence on our legal culture with all these District Attorneys, he has sponsored to destroy our legal profession.  

Some are saying that this quote is not in Ashley Biden’s diary. But this is the same diary that the FBI says doesn’t exist. So what can you believe? But we can judge based on behavior, and there is a lot of bad behavior.

The case in New York with Fat Alvin Bragg and the gang is an illegal imposition on President Trump’s rights for all kinds of reasons, which the Constitution shows explicitly is not permitted by any sitting government, and at that point of recognition, we have a right and obligation to throw off that government and start a new one, which is explicitly stated in our founding documents.  What we have here is a government that stole power by violating the Constitution and inserting a hostile activist into the White House, replacing the one that was correctly and legally elected, and they expect to get away with it by throwing that victim of a government coup in jail to cover the crime.  So this is severe stuff that has not settled on people yet.  And for that reason, I recommend having a love affair of your own with the Constitution.  Read it.  Understand it.  And use it to defeat these terrible people.  These criminals think we are all suckers and don’t understand our laws because they have been such a corrosive element, they expect to get away with everything by stripping our laws away so that their government can continue to grow in power until there is no country left, and the United States can fall toward globalism.  In truth, that is the only exit plan from their current strategy.  They hope to escape their many crimes by destroying the laws that would prosecute them.  And they don’t care what happens in the wake of that activity.  This level of power-hungry behavior is precisely why the Constitution was written the way it was: to prevent the government from gaining this kind of authority over its citizens.  Amendments 4-6 are meant to protect people from their government with unreasonable prosecution and the harassment of private property. 

And perhaps you can see why I have been having this love affair with the Constitution.  I keep the copy I displayed in the video by my reading chair, and I go through it a few times a week, which I have done for many years.  But lately, because of these court cases against Trump and seeing how they plan to attack us all in the same manner, I have been spending too much time with the Constitution, and it has impacted my marriage by not giving me as much time for my wife.  She has been neglected as a result.  But we have talked about it, and we think everyone should have similar affairs, perhaps even to rejuvenate their marriages and the values of their institutional union.  And fear not, this government under Biden, and with the support of the old Weather Underground terrorists who are a radical part of the Marxist left, put him into power hoping that they would be able to destroy the concept of a Constitution before people became aware of it, are not going to get away with it.  They have been caught, and they keep digging their own grave deeper.  After all this, there is no way that they could ever be accepted into polite society with the rest of us.  And that is what my affair with the Constitution has made clear to me.  And it has given me clarity on what to do next.  None of those things involves a life without Trump back in the White House and submission to these criminal scum bags who have taken over our government and tried to destroy our Constitution to get away with the massive crimes they have committed against us all.  For such an indiscretion, my wife understands.  This is why we have been married for a long time and will continue to be.  Sometimes, love affairs like this one are necessary.  And not just a love for our spouses rekindled, but also a love for our nation and the future it deserves.

The Biden Communist Goverment Goes All In: 34 Counts of Nothing Against Trump

They may want a Civil War, not just a bunch of polite banter and complaining on television, but a real knockdown in the streets war.  And I’m okay with that.  But what happened to Trump with the 34 counts against him in a communist show trial is purely a regional thing that will be overturned, and the court will be embarrassed for centuries.  The short-term thinking that Democrats propping up Biden conducted in this case against Trump in New York was that cheating card in poker a player losing has up their sleeve that they only pull out at the last minute to cover a significant loss.  Their entire political future is invested in this effort, the Bragg case, which is a political experiment funded by George Soros and the American insurgents like him, who are openly seeking to collapse our government.  Yet the failure mode that none of them have yet dealt with is that Americans don’t need a king or a leader.  So, just because they have demonstrated that they control the courts and can go after anybody, any time, over anything, the downside is that people won’t listen to them either.  They can obtain power by manipulating the law, but once they have it and have shown the world that it doesn’t matter, they’ll be forced to fight in the streets against the people they have just angered.  And they are not the fighting types, so they have just painted themselves into a corner from which they will never get out.  Of course, George Soros doesn’t care if America survives all this.  We have natural domestic enemies who have been trying to collapse our political system, and financial system since America was started.  And this Alvin Bragg case where a crooked judge put together a phony trial with all kinds of constitutional problems in New York to squeeze out a guilty verdict from a confused jury on a Thursday evening, right on time for what I said it would be weeks out, was an all in strategy that the communists had no other option.  But to show their hand, which they did.

Trump’s response, which was to give a speech again at Trump Tower, where all this began the day after the guilty verdict, was appropriate and resolute.  He doesn’t have to do any of this, but this is the fight we are in, and we either stand with him or turn away like cowards.  I can tell you where I am on that.  It should be obvious.  I think it’s a waste of time to play games with these losers; I’d just as soon jump into a Mad Max world where power and force rule the day and those with the biggest guns win.  I think I’ll do well in that world, so I’m okay with it.  I don’t believe that people like Fat Alvin, who prosecuted this case in New York, will do so well or that this ridiculous judge, Juan Merchan, will thrive in such a society.  Watching them and listening to them, I don’t think they realized what they have unleashed.  They are like those smug teachers in school who think they are in control when, in fact, they are vastly outnumbered by students who are always on the precipice of rebellion.  They will not get the compliant sheep they thought they were out of all this, but many angry wolves who are looking for blood.  And they’ll get their blood, literally or metaphorically.  As I have said from the beginning, all this is born out of desperation, a need to hide their past crimes and hold on to power to keep themselves from going to jail.  But now they’ve opened the door to a world they will never be able to control.

Republicans have to stop playing so fairly and in a friendly manner.  And to stop depending on a human sense of fairness to keep polite society managed.  These people are never going to be a part of polite society again.  They have crossed the line, and there is no coming back.  One of the hidden indicators in our society is the box office results of Furiosa, a pretty good Mad Max movie.  But it was made under the woke premise of replacing Max with a woman, Furioso, and the public didn’t go see it.  The box office bomb will be felt for years on that one, as it will never recover its budget and will remain underwater from a public that is rejecting it just because the public is tired of woke, Democrat-driven Hollywood.  Hollywood has lost its brand with the public, just like Bud Light has, and they will never get it back.  Neither will the Democrats.  Two-thirds of the country can identify with MAGA, Making America Great Again.  And taking that away from people and giving them a parental communist government that wants to micromanage every aspect of their lives, from the cars they drive to the stoves they cook on, isn’t going to work.  Americans have tasted the kind of freedom the rest of the world has not, and they won’t give back those freedoms to appease some political yearning for a one-world government run by the United Nations, managed by the World Economic Forum, and made equal with a communist country like China.  These pinhead types who come up with all this administrative state stuff just never figured out what motivates people in life, and they miss the mark every time. 

That was certainly the case with this New York case where the perpetrators of injustice think they can play keep away with Trump and that they will manage to hold power.  But the power isn’t in the White House; it’s purely in deceit, and the Democrat party has forever lost that influence.  Their arrogance was cultivated in the halls of academia, away from the world of reality where real people live.  That is where this short-term menace to our legal system was born.  But it can now be applied toward them, toward Obama, Clinton, and Biden; if the game is to give political figures a label of criminal conduct, then that can undoubtedly be applied to all political figures from now until the end of time.  And before our world descends into a Mad Max movie, as George Soros and his gang of global progressives think they want, the only thing that protected them from an angry public was that nobody thought they would be that stupid to try such a thing.  Because the basic premise of the law, in Amendments 4, 5, and 6, was assumed to be built on a foundation of fairness.  But Democrats threw all that out the window so they could have a purely cosmetic conviction that might disrupt the Republican Convention as if that would change anything at this point.  Sentencing for these 34 charges takes place on July 11th, just a few days from the convention on the 15th, where Trump will accept the official party nomination for President.  And that all these courtroom theatrics will change the direction of the world at this point is ridiculously foolish.  Hollywood has shown that it couldn’t see it, even though they were warned.  They are making the same mistake politically.  Because they never really understood people, they tried to make the world less scary for them by destroying it.  And now they are stuck with what they have done and won’t like the worms that come out of the can they opened because they won’t live with what they created.  And they won’t like the result.

“Fat Boy” Bragg and his Communists in New York: Attacking Trump as a symbol of capitalism as terrorists have been doing since 9/11

At least finally, people are starting to talk about the Alvin Bragg case in New York against Trump, along with the Letitia James case and the Fani Willis case in Georgia for what they are: Marxist insurgencies against our system of government meant to topple us just as communists have all over the world.  I’ve been warning people about this trend for several decades and finally, people see what is happening and understand it for what it is.  These are communists; Fat Boy Alvin Bragg in New York shows clearly how the Marxist movement moved into minority communities and recruited people like Bragg to their cause of the overthrow of America.  We’re not talking about a thinly veiled disguise such as what the 1619 Project was and how most sizable corporations became spokespeople for Marxism willingly.  Now we are getting down to the nitty-gritty; there are no attempts to hide what they are.  They don’t care if they shatter legal precedent or wreck people’s trust in our judicial system.  They are going all in, and they don’t care what damage it might do to the country because they intend to destroy it, as planned from the beginning.  And this abuse of power in New York, especially in trying to stick President Trump with a bunch of phony charges just to keep him off the campaign for president because they have no other option, is just showing people that what I have been warning about, is very much a grim reality.  People never wanted to believe that it was possible, but here it is, in all its communist accessories.  There is nothing legitimate in these cases against Trump. In the end, they will only make people more persistent in voting for him because what is on display is proof that we have an out-of-control, abusive government. They have no intention of working within the American system of government but to destroy it.

Fat Boy Bragg deserves no respect; he’s an assassin of hatred that communists have toward capitalist endeavors, and Trump is the perfect spokesman for that anger in that he is the pedestal of capitalism exhibited by American culture.  With his giant towers, supermodel wife, and full bank account, Trump is everything that the communists hate, and to express those sentiments, they are showing their playbook, essentially because they have no other move.  It’s now or never for them.  They have been hiding in the background trying to fit into society behind a mask of racism to conceal their movements.  And they have moved into these district attorney positions, as well as attorney general efforts using skin color to gain sympathy, and once they obtained that power, they were then free to abuse it.  The race riots in America never just happened; they were provoked as communist revolutions around the world have been for most of the previous century.  This was never about slavery, which Democrats were in favor of, and Republicans abolished to free people of color.  This was always about abuse, attack, and military effort.  While loser politicians were making arguments about defending America with a more robust military, they were also allowing these Marxists access to the halls of government, sponsored mainly by George Soros money and other “progressive” activists, into attacking America indirectly, culturally, and economically.  “You keep the tanks, planes, and troops,” they were saying, “we’ll take the college campuses, the Bar Association, and your corporate boards through BlackRock, and we’ll change your culture from the inside out.  No need to conquer you with military force.  We’ll do it through culture.”  And the proof of all that is what Fat Boy Bragg is doing in New York, trying to prosecute Trump for issues involving Stormy Daniels, the porn star, which has already been dealt with beyond the statute of limitations.  People voted for President Trump anyway, and the matter has been settled.

Alvin “Fat Boy” Bragg has been concerned with using the court’s power to target political rivals, which has been going on in every communist country over the last century, so it’s not a surprise in and of itself.  The only surprise is that people assumed that America was free, and everyone looked to the Constitution as their guiding legal foundation.  Of course, these communists want to overthrow those traditions just as they have with race by hiding their actual efforts behind what they show the public.  In this Fat Boy case, Bragg is pretending to use the rule of law to destroy the concept of law and order and erode people’s trust as a gradual outcome.  In the short run, these court proceedings are intended to tie Trump up in court and waste his time, hoping to stick him with criminal proceedings and harm him to the public.  But people see what’s going on, finally.  Any benefit of the doubt that people had been willing to give to efforts like Black Lives Matters is gone now.  The attempts not to be called “racist” by accepting radicalized communists from minority community sleeper cells are no longer on the table.  People have strong opinions about what they see happening, which will carry over into all future elections.  I see a spell being broken for good resulting from all this because the communists have overplayed their hands.  They have gone too far against the American people. 

Of course, the danger always looming in the background is about our elections. Do we have free and fair elections that people can trust?  Going back to the days of the Black Panthers trying to intimidate voters at the polling places in minority neighborhoods to put their communists in power, they are now showing the results people were worried about.  And yes, you can bet your ass, Alvin Braggs “fat ass,” that these same people rigged the 2020 election to keep Trump out of the White House.  Of course, they stole the election under the cover of Covid.  And now, without a global pandemic set loose by the World Health Organization globally, these regional communists fighting for power and control of the American legal system have to turn to another form of election interference.  And that is all Fat Boy’s case in New York is about.  However, since Trump has shown that he is willing to take these losers on directly, it is forcing them to overplay their hand and force strong emotions on the American public, who they know voted for President Trump and will do it again.  It is the best and least violent way that Americans can retake their country away from these radical communists who have embedded themselves at all levels of our government.  Now that we know, and people are willing to admit to the problem since they can see it for themselves, the rule they have had over us is ending.  It might be scary to people who don’t want to admit such truths.  But now that we can see it on such a grand display, people are angry.  They have been suffering needlessly as their financial means have been eroded, the pride in their country destroyed.  And now we have watched rigged elections in America give us the same kind of communist results that have been seen in China, Russia, and Venezuela.  And for the communists, if they can take down a symbol of capitalism in America, like President Trump, then they would have done as the terrorists of the Twin Towers wanted to do with 9/11.  They always wanted to topple capitalism and our way of life and give us communism in all the vile facades that they could ever hope to utilize.  The Alvin “Fat Boy” Bragg case in New York is all about that, and nothing more.

Trump Was Always Protected Under the 8th Amendment: Playing chicken with the federal government, and winning

All you need to know about America’s domestic enemies and that they are a Marxist insurrection is in the case against Trump in New York, where the attorney general, Letitia James, pushed for an obviously unconstitutional bail amount in an effort to enforce a default and confiscate the President’s property.  This is a funny story, even as sinister as it is, because it’s the guide for how all these cases will go against Trump, but it holds for any of us.  Luckily, Trump, with the amount of wealth he has amassed over the years, is willing to play chicken with these guys and expose them from the platform of the American Presidency.   His willingness to do so has brought to the surface this obvious communist strategy so audaciously, that everyone can understand it.  However, this notion that Letitia James was going to be able to take Trump’s property and bankrupt him was never going to work.  As the radical left made up the scam, they assumed that people would abandon the American Constitution well before now, but that hasn’t happened.  By the time everyone entered the last week of March 2024, and the media speculated on the awesome power of the federal government, with all its infinite resources and ability to destroy people’s lives, the truth ended up as a lesson in civics.  Trump was, and has always been, just as we all are, protected from the government under the 8th Amendment.  This indicates that any excessive punishment imposed by the government, along with outrageous bail, was prohibited.  And given that Letitia James and Judge Engoron set the bail for Trump’s real estate case at 454 million dollars, essentially half a billion dollars, it showed that they weren’t serious about the law but were trying to do something they were legally prevented from doing.  There has never been such a bail cast against an individual before, so the definition of “excessive” was easy to establish. 

It’s pretty clear

Of course, the appeals process reduced the bail amount to something more manageable, although still excessive, but it was easier for Trump to get his hands on raw cash.  And once that occurred, the New York case fell apart, and the theatrics were concluded.  It is actually funny that Biden began to call Trump “broke” on the campaign trail because his handlers wrote it that way, according to the Marxist script they had all been following.   Trump’s attornies pleaded during the ruling because they had to, that Trump didn’t have $454 million lying around and that it was an unusual hardship.  The appeals court lowered the amount to $175 million just as Letitia James moved in to put a padlock on Trump Tower in New York to accommodate the ridiculous bail amount.  The abuse couldn’t be more apparent to the world and it ended up being a great example of the Marxist invasion of our country that a lot of people were not willing to acknowledge.  However, during this process, Trump received considerable money from his social media platform, Truth Social, so he quickly had the cash to pay the lowered bail amount and move on.  Even though even that amount will be considered “excessive” and unconstitutional in the end.  For now, Trump just pulled out a wad of cash and paid off the communists and, in the process, doubled his wealth.  Any hopes that the radical left had about Trump going broke and being forced to sell off his assets along the New York skyline were averted, and Trump entered a new era in the world of politics that nobody had ever seen before.  He had won the standoff with the federal government, which nobody had expected. 

Except I had been saying for a few years now that the 8th Amendment prevented the government from doing precisely what they were doing to Trump.  I knew what the Trump legal team was doing when they declared hardship on the excessive fine imposed by Engoron because they had to get it on the record for the appeals process.  Trump could have paid the fines and fees, but should he?  That was the real question.  But the political left gave away their fantasy of a communist world with an out-of-control government running loose and, taking people’s property and throwing them in jail without due process.  This happens everywhere, especially with the Peter Navarro case and what happened to Alex Jones, Rudy Guiliani, and Sidney Powell.  All the J6th protestors.  I find it astonishing that more lawyers didn’t catch on to the unconstitutionality of these impositions quickly.  However, before the March 2024 property confiscations, the Trump legal team finally got specific about the 8th Amendment.  And once they did, the appeals court had no option but to reduce the bail and favor in the direction of Trump.  I think this whole argument could have been destroyed in the New York case months ago by citing the 8th Amendment protections, but Trump likely wanted to bait them along like the excellent negotiator that he is, for as long as he could get away with it, pushing them to overplay their hand.  Which they did, only to drop the bomb with them at the end of the case to make a point.  And in that process, the political left salivated at the destruction of Trump and showed the world who they were. 

I would have advised Trump to destroy his enemies in the very beginning and to never let them up for air.  All these cases against Trump have the same primary objective and fall under the same constitutional protections.  But Trump is playing this as a sportsman who might fish for those big guys in the water deep under a rockface.  The point of the Constitution that is important is that it limits government and takes away the kind of power the left is addicted to, which is Chinese-style communism centrally controlled.  The entire American legal system, including all Supreme Court cases, uses the Constitution to prevent the government from doing things it might want to do against people, with property rights and wealth creation being the center of proper social norms that sustain a functioning economy.  Without that stability, you end up with an out-of-control government, which Trump wanted to show with all these theatrics.  The Trump legal team let the dumb Letitia James make a fool out of herself with excessive abuse to show the world what she was really up to.  Then, when things got serious, the Trump team played the 8th Amendment card, and that essentially destroyed the case.  But Trump was never in trouble.  Trump played the situation wonderfully and took the criticism in the media to full effect, letting everyone speculate on his destruction, even as Letitia James coordinated all this government abuse with the Biden White House.  Because they were communists, they assumed that society would “progress” beyond the Constitutional limits of the American rule of law in favor of some ridiculous United Nations model of law and judgment.  But that’s not how it is in America, and now Trump has established a new value on that law that will solidify these court battles for many years to come.  For this reason, we are all much better off.

Lawyers Are Usually Too Dumb and Worthless: The scam that leans to the political left to corrupt our entire soceity

I’ve never liked lawyers.  For me, they were always con artists who overly complicated the legal system so that they could take money away from innocent people.  The law should be so clear that ordinary people can represent themselves in court.  But courts have been horrendous substitutes for dueling as it was classically conducted in America.  When we say these days, “See you in court,” it’s a poor substitute for “pistols at dawn.”  But we wanted to consider ourselves a civilized society and that we were a nation of laws, not lawlessness.  So, we have replaced those classic gun duels with a bunch of pinheaded fools who use the legal system to conduct justice in unsatisfying ways, enriching themselves in the process.  I would instead just shoot the bad guys.  It would be more honorable, and cheaper.  But saying all that, I have been to court a lot more than I’ve been in shootouts with people, so I know the lawyer type extremely well.  And I’ve hated them to such an extent that I have represented myself in court on more than one occasion and done just fine.  And when I think of these things I have a friend who once had so much legal trouble that he had a bedroom in his house filled with unpaid bills and legal notices that was over one foot deep from wall to wall.  He used to let his kid swim in that room like it was the ball pit at Chucky Cheeses and she would bury herself under them when playing hide and seek, and nobody would find her.  He did end up going to jail eventually for disputes with an ex-girlfriend that he couldn’t outsmart the lawyers in that case because he was technically in the wrong.  But on the many cases worth many, many, many millions of dollars in judgments against him, there wasn’t a lawyer in Ohio or Kentucky who could move him off a mountain of superior intellectual positioning. 

Most lawyers are pretty dumb.  They get into the legal profession because they never stand up to their parents and get used to being told what to do early in life.  When we look at these court cases against Trump and see how dumb Fani Willis and Letitia James are, people are stunned that these are people who have passed a Bar exam.  In my experience, these are common people in the legal profession.  It’s the same scam as the snake oil salesman selling whiskey to cure colds and snake bites in the same bottle.  Lawyers have been propped up to be considered standard bearers of righteous knowledge.  But the truth is they are mostly pretty dumb.  As I say all that, I can think of more than twenty I know whom I wouldn’t pay five cents for.  My first reaction is always to represent myself, and I have argued detailed legal matters with multiple people of high intellect as recently as yesterday.  I think anybody with average reading comprehension should be able to represent themselves better and more appropriately than any lawyer.  Lawyers get into the profession because they are compliant people who do what their parents want them to.   Then, as adults, they have the same weakness: they do what political parties tell them to, what judges ask them to, and what corrupt elements instruct them to.  In the case of Lakota schools, if you peel back the orange, the root cause of so much corruption comes down to lawyers running the school and taking their orders from the local teacher’s union.  I have found that most lawyers lean to the political left.  And those who do call themselves Republicans tend to be RINOs because they believe in big institutions to hide the ruse of their con game.  They make their money because of big government, not by freeing people from it. 

I’m a person who reads from the law every single day, and it starts with the Ohio Constitution.  For fun, I read The Federalist Papers and The Anti-Federalist Papers, and I love them.  There are legal minds in those pages who are magnificently brilliant.  Those are not the modern lawyers talking, and out of many thousands of people that I know, a lot of them legal types, we don’t produce people like those Founding Fathers today.  So when I say I would rather have a duel in the street with someone I disagree with, I mean it in that context.  We were a better society when people settled their differences directly and quickly.   These legal courtroom battles with third-party arbiters have been ridiculously dumb, significantly weakening our nation.  Lawyers are lazy, weak, and not able to properly represent strong, individualized Americans in the concept of a free people.  I’ve been on the stand interviewed by lawyers for testimony many times and given a lot of depositions, and in many cases, the lawyers were the best available at the time, and I’ve never been impressed with any of their intellects.  When dealing with them I often think of my friend who ran them in circles for years in a game of cat and mouse, including big federal cases, and they were too dumb to touch him.  He easily beat them in court every time because they were too stupid to argue with him.  With that guy, what ended up bringing him down was the same as with most men: a woman.  Not the law. 

Lawyers have made our system of justice far worse.  The only people who benefit from it are the legal people.  The people who get drug into court to be represented by lawyers end up losing everything while the same lawyers who battle it out in court end up going to lunch together after the case.  It’s not skin off their back what happens to their clients.  The judges and lawyers are often golf buddies, and the client pays for the corrupt access their lawyer has to judges.  That is not how our legal system was supposed to be and as I say all the time, it would be better and more righteous if we just shot the bad guys instead of making all these lawyers rich off the pursuit of justice that never comes.  We have too many lawyers chasing too few needs, so they often end up in politics looking to write laws or broker deals that put money in their pocket for their investment in the law practice.  So when we talk about the corruption in our political system, it becomes obvious that the primary cause is that it is filled with too many lawyers who find private practice too hard to manage, so politics becomes a good destination for them, and they hardly bring ethical behavior to our representative government.  Just as in the Lakota case in my neighborhood, it all comes down to keeping dumb people on the school board to make it easy for the lawyers to throw money at the leftist teacher’s union because they are too lazy to argue on behalf of justice.  And what’s more important to them is a nice dinner at a wine-tasting ceremony than strengthening our republic with legal wisdom.  No, most lawyers are just like Fani Willis and Letitia James.  Fortunately, many people who don’t deal with lawyers have had the illusion of what kind of people are in the legal world ripped away from them on national television.  And they are disappointed with what they see.  But it’s indeed no surprise to me.  We should drop the courtrooms and get back to dueling.  We would be a far better society.

The Communists Attack: What the actions of Alvin Bragg show about the menace that has been hiding in the background all along

I’ve explained it many times since the news of the Trump indictment was made known at the end of March 2023 that I think it’s probably the best thing that could have happened. It’s wonderful news, certainly not detrimental. I’ve been warning about this kind of thing for a long time, and people would say, “oh, that’s just too inconvenient to know about; I have to take my kid to soccer practice.” Throughout the last decade, many of those articles can be found by going through the search history on this site along the sidebar; I have talked about the communist infiltration of America so people could do something about it. At first, it came from the Soviets, from the deliberate KGB infiltration of our institutions during the late 50s and 60s. But we think incorrectly that communism went away with the Reagan presidency and the fall of the Berlin Wall. But no, it just went underground, and with the attempts of globalism, communism is their pick for the government of that one world order because it’s much easier for them to manage from the United Nations. And China, the propped-up country of globalism from the World Economic Forum, where the country went from a third-world country in the 1960s to the new superpower in the 2020s, it is that form of communism that the globalists and their controlled corporations have picked to rule. And that communism has infiltrated our American society in most of our institutions, as I have explained in detail by going on radio stations and writing many articles about it, most exhibited in the great Cleon Skousen book The Naked Communist. In it, the former FBI agent, back when the FBI was filled with good guys and not a bunch of communist sympathizers, Skousen provides the 45 Goals of Communism, which I read to everyone when I first started my Rumble channel. And now, finally, people can see with this Trump indictment that all that was true and then some. Communists are making their move, and their desperation is showing. 

When it was obvious that the 2020 election was rigged, that is why the first bit of information I offered to explain it to people was from that Skousen classic. It has been inconvenient for people to name the word communist into anything that was American because people just couldn’t bring themselves to admit to what degree it was a problem. Even President Trump has been reluctant to go there in his speeches. We have talked about socialism in an open context, especially regarding the Obama presidency, but as I and many others have done, we have shown that many of these insurgency figures, such as Obama was, had many communists in their background. And that would hold true for modern members of minority neighborhood anti-Capitalist groups such as where this New York DA comes from, Alvin Bragg. This communist movement has been with us, working in the background for longer than most people have been alive. Communism didn’t die with the Soviet Union; it just shifted to the emerging China. There are many more communists and socialists in the world than there are capitalists, who are at war with all competition. The globalists have been using the greed and manipulation of China to spread their European export, the communism of Karl Marx to the world for world domination, and we can see their effect most in our institutional controls, such as education, our judicial system, our entertainment, just as Skousen warned about in 1958. Most of the trouble we are seeing in the world now is coming from the global moves that the communists are making, and to not name them is to declare that nobody actually wants to solve the problem essentially. 

I remember specifically a radio interview I did on The Naked Communist while I was on a professional engagement in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I was in a fancy hotel restaurant having a very nice dinner with some power players saving the world on the economic end. We were all having a very nice time along a river that was pouring into Lake Michigan, from where all the fine wines were being poured into specific glasses designed to let the well-vintaged stuff breathe. I told everyone to excuse me momentarily while I went to the bathroom. I went back to my hotel room and did a 45-minute radio interview with a talk show on Cleon Skousen’s Naked Communist, which blew the doors off the audience. Then I returned to my table almost an hour later. People had been drinking, so they didn’t notice much that I had been gone, and we resumed our business talk very successfully. But when dealing with international commerce, as that talk was all about, the discussion about communism was not something even people drinking a lot of wine had the stomach for. It was OK to talk about kids, the sports they were in, and basic entertainment observations, such as what was happening with the Kardashians lately. But any discussion about communism in these governments we were dealing with was simply off the table. But the radio audience was captivated as if it was the first time they had ever heard such a thing. That just shows how sneaky the communists are, they penetrated our culture in such a way that nobody wanted even to discuss their very existence, and because of that, communism has grown into the monster that it is today. It was strange for me to have that Milwaukee experience because within the span of a few hours, I went from advanced talks about international commerce that were worth millions and millions of dollars to discussing communism, which to me was like having one large conversation about global concerns. But for the various members of the audience, the topics had to be separated to accommodate their sensitive understanding of history and the real threat that was actually in their own backyards.

I see the shock of many over this Trump indictment as a great thing. It forces people to look at this communist problem for what it is, finally. The blind trust that people have in our institutions has been dangerous. But yes, communism is a major problem in America, and it’s a global movement with literally billions of members. And they see America as the last bastion of freedom that stands against their political movement, and they are in full attack mode, just as I warned about now for decades. But people didn’t believe me. They were curious, but it was much easier to just laugh it off as a conspiracy theory. Yet I have gone way out of my way to educate people about these dangers, and now Alvin Bragg has made my job so much easier. People can see it for themselves, and it’s scary. But the monster in the closet was always there, even if people hid under their sheets. What we are seeing coming out of the New York DA office, and not just with Trump, but others, such as Steve Bannon from the Warroom podcast, it has been infiltrated by communists who realizes that the MAGA movement is the best form of populism that could kill their aims at global domination. And to meet that threat to their political order, they are crossing the lines and stepping out of the shadows for all to see. I think this is great because it forces people to wake up to a threat that has always existed. The communists are attacking because they are desperate. Over 100 years of plotting and scheming are being threatened by America’s self-defense, Bill of Rights, and Constitution as applied through MAGA Republicans. And they are being forced from the shadows to fight, and in doing so, are showing themselves for the first time in many cases, which is something I have wanted to see happen my entire adult life. So I’m quite happy about it. Indicting Trump was the best thing that could have happened.

Lynn Yaeger from Vogue Magazine: An elephant’s ass that sat in a cake and painted itself like a Cabbage Patch Doll

I certainly had one of those, “what the fu** moments when I saw her picture—or whatever it was.  At first I thought I was looking at Joan the Hutt, a loser politician from my area who is trying to run for trustee in West Chester, but at a second glance I learned that it was the Vogue magazine editor Lynn Yaeger.   I had heard that name before but I’ll have to admit, I thought the people at Vogue would be all physically beautiful people who knew something about the fashion world.  What I discovered about Lynn Yaeger was that she was a train wreck of obvious mental depravity.  Nobody in their right mind would go out into public looking the way she does and then attempt to hide it behind some insane fashion sense. She looks like some dude dressed in drag made up like a Cabbage Patch Kid who was homeless—and it was THIS person who started all the crap about how Melania dressed in high heels to visit the storm region of Texas for an assessment of relief.  When I read this from an article that Lynn wrote as I received a notification on my phone in the middle of an important meeting, because of the nature of the news, I stopped to wonder what kind of person this Yaeger person was.  Here is what she said:

Oh, Melania.

In the words of the late, great Lou Reed, you “couldn’t hit it sideways.”

First the now–First Lady (perhaps unwittingly) plagiarizes Michelle Obama in her convention speech, then she takes as her platform a crusade against bullying—when she is married to unquestionably the greatest cyber bully in political history—and now this!

This morning, Mrs. Trump boarded Air Force One wearing a pair of towering pointy-toed snakeskin heels better suited to a shopping afternoon on Madison Avenue or a girls’ luncheon at La Grenouille.

http://www.vogue.com/article/melania-trump-hurricane-harvey-stilettos

http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/31/woman-who-resembles-danny-devito-is-criticizing-melania-trumps-fashion/

My first impression was that Lynn Yaeger was some jealous rival hot chick from the fashion world that might know something because she was from Vogue magazine.  In that context I might have thought that Melania was dressing a bit too Top Gun.  Melania and I are roughly the same age, so she would have been in high school when Top Gun came out in movie theaters and it was a movie that left quite an impression on our generation.  I thought Melania looked very attractive and I liked the way she dressed—but that maybe I thought that because my taste was formed during the 80s when that would have been considered worthy dress for a movie poster for an action adventure film. I had no idea that the person writing the article looked like something someone shit on Duval Street outside a drag queen nightclub in Key West.  I was amazed.

It’s not that it’s right to pass judgment on the way someone looks, but Lynn brought it all up in her Vogue article by talking about “optics.”  Ah, what about the optics at Vogue having one of their start editors walking around New York looking like some kid dressed up like a homeless Cabbage Patch Doll complete with the painted on rosy cheeks?  I mean even if she dressed that way for Halloween it would be inappropriate, let alone trying to sell that look on the city streets of New York.

I tried to watch a few interviews with Lynn Yaeger trying to understand her, and listening to her talk, and I’d say I agree with her about a lot of things.  People should have the right to dress the way they want and to look at their outward appearance as a kind of adventure.  I heard her mention that she goes to Paris often as if knowing that should somehow place her on some rung of un-judged fashion sense—like she knows more than we do about eccentric fashion and should just take her word for it.  But then she thinks she gets to pass judgment on other people’s looks when she obviously has some psychological problems from which she’s functioning.  Paris is a dump in its present form.  If the beautiful fashion models like Melania are what come from Paris I might cut them a little slack for being an armpit of social culture and reckless abandonment of logic.  But if Lynn Yaeger is at home there, we need to rethink letting Paris be considered one of the great historic cities of the world.  The message from the fashion world is grossly hypocritical in America.  If Melania came to any town other than New York, Chicago and San Francisco dressed in those high heels, a bomber jacket and aviator sunglasses, she’d rival the beautiful women cut out on the tool boxes of any mechanic, or hot rod builder’s garage anywhere.  If Melania walked down the street dressed that way everyone would stop and admire how beautiful she was—guys and girls alike.  That’s fashion.  If Lynn Yaeger walked down those same streets everyone would laugh—everyone.  Most people would find her utterly revolting and it wouldn’t go unchecked.   There’s obviously something wrong with Yaeger so that begs the question—why does Vogue allow her to do that—look the way she does?

This just goes to show how politically radical the media industry is, they won’t pass judgment on a fashion editor from Vogue but they will a hot Republican fashion model who is married to the current president of the United States.  If Melania were a Democrat in the White House we’d hear every day how beautiful she was—that’s what people did with Michelle Obama.  We heard all the time what a beautiful person she was, which I thought was odd because I looked at her and there wasn’t anything attractive biologically about her.  I mean that’s what we’re talking about in regards to fashion.  The whole point of it is to increase your supernormal sign stimuli in an effort to attract people who to want to have sex with you.  It’s a purely biological response to the members of the human race.  When women put on make-up and apply perfume—guys too with cologne, they are announcing that they want to be found attractive.  They may not want to have sex in the elevator or actually cheat on their spouse—but they want you to look and smell them.  It makes them feel good to be noticed for whatever personal reason they are doing it.  That’s why women wear ear rings—it is a supernormal accentuation to their natural appearance and it increases the visibility of that part of a woman’s face.  A push-up bra obviously is designed to increase the way breasts look.  Biologically it says to potential mates that this is a woman who can give birth and raise children.  Boobs are supposed to be something that people want to play with during sex in order to get them working properly for feeding babies once born.  As intellectual beings we play with these images to increase or decrease our attractiveness—and we call that fashion.   Lynn would argue that it’s all self-expression, but ultimately, it’s about manipulating our attractiveness in public settings.

Melania, a fashion model who was very successful knew what she was doing and for the monster truck drivers in Texas who were running around trying to rescue people, she was trying to give them something they wanted-something beautiful to look at when everything else around them was miserable.  It doesn’t mean she wanted to sleep with anybody, but it was her way of giving the world a beautiful flower to look at when they needed it most.  We do the same as human beings, we pick flowers for arrangements in our homes and offices—that doesn’t mean we want to pollinate the flowers the way bees do—but the primal necessity toward attractiveness is rooted in the biological element so the presentation of a flower usually has a healing quality to it rooted in the traditions of sex and reproduction.

Lynn Yaeger is rebelling against the biological nature of attractiveness purposefully and it is all part of the progressive platform of taking society beyond the logic of natural assumptions and attempting to destroy deep held beliefs so to encourage interracial relationships, same sex circumstances, transgender acceptance and even group sex as norms in the options available to human beings because if those politically active magazine editors can change the way we view sex and relationships then people might accept new political ideas too.  After all, there are a fair number of men who might be inclined to have voted for Hillary Clinton if it meant they could be in an orgy with a bunch of hippie chicks that might not smell so good, but were sexually adventurous.  Then again, there are a lot of women who will do anything for front row seats to a Rascal Flatts concert, so ultimately the progressive strategy will fail when applied to general human endeavor.  When it comes down to biology the rules aren’t complicated, people use sex to get what they want and if you have something desired—sex will happen often and very creatively.  If you increase your super normal sign stimuli, then you’ll get even more chances.  For women its ear rings, breast size, long hair, an accent on the eyes to make them look bigger, lip stick to make you want to put things in the mouth—whatever.  For men its small hips and wide shoulders, it’s the way they smell, it’s the kind of confidence they emit through body language.  But what Lynn is doing at Vogue is saying that “I’m so ugly that I’m going to rebel against human nature” which is a conscious decision.  But she doesn’t get to play the fashion card by judging Melania when she looks like an elephant’s ass that sat in cake.  I mean, that just doesn’t fly.

‘The Crystal Skull of Canterbury’: A new project born from a lot of passion

I have a new book in development called The Crystal Skull of Canterbury and am looking for a good team for its publication.  One thing I have learned after doing this a few times before is that even the best written pieces of work need a good team to get it to readers.  This book is a little different for me, I came up with the idea during a recent visit to the locations featured in the novel—it’s more of a Bridges of Madison County story except more contemporary and featuring an English countryside because honestly they like to read in that country so why not set the story there—for the target demographic.  I’m a business guy, so I think in those types of terms as a first consideration.  This is just a starting point and the story is as follows:

A NASA contractor whose specialty is in preparing mankind for the long-preserved evidence that will be discovered on Mars ahead of a 2030 mission that life much longer than earth’s existed on the Red Planet, is challenged by a former curator of the British Museum to defend claims made by the contractor regarding the authenticity of the popular Crystal Skull exhibit which attracts so many visitors each year. Dorrington Weingarten sees the opportunity as positive publicity for the museum in London, but on a deeper level resents NASA’s Ian Davenport’s theories on the origin of mankind and the revolutionary following that he has been brewing in the United States which stands in stark contrast to the scientific positions established by England’s heritage.

Ian accepts the challenge and during his travels to London and eventually into the ancient streets of Canterbury where a romance brews between he and the curator’s wife–he isn’t just an eccentrically brilliant scientist—he’s determined to crack old Dorrington for reasons that confound everyone whom he refers to as the Crystal Skull of Canterbury. He sees in Dorrington Weingarten the modern embodiment of the wounded Grail King from King Author’s legends and he has set in mind to solve a riddle that has nearly destroyed Dorrington’s wife now madly in love with Ian.  What results is a proposed answer to T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land and Wofram Von Exchenbach’s Parzival contained within the elusive life of a man who did everything right his whole life—except for the things that really matter.  A man drowning by his own success, who had everything but lost it through the years without even knowing it.  But can he be saved, can the Crystal Skull of Canterbury be cracked?  It is a job that may be out of reach for the multitalented Ian Davenport who for the first time in his life may have found something he cannot do as an unconventional romance soon engulfs him as well with emotions new to him. For all his life Ian had avoided life in the Waste Land, but now a siren song beacons him from another man’s wife and the lure to surrender to it is strong—too strong. 

I’d like to keep the page count down although it’s a story with many twists and turns—and emotional complexity. I’m targeting women over 40 with this work first in England then in the United States.  It additionally attaches itself to the modern paradox of the many theories coming from the Ancient Aliens viewer base popularly shown on The History Channel and embraces new scientific concerns relevant to the next decade giving this story staying power as a mass market paperback.  The primary purpose for me was a promise I made to a nice old lady in Ashford, England who was kind enough to give me a very nice meal while my family was in route to Paris.  She asked me what I liked most about the English people, I told her it was that they still liked to read and bought lots of books.  I told her I planned to help show more Americans why they needed to become more literate.  She then pressed me on what I was planning to do specifically about it.  I thought for a moment because I assumed we were just making small talk, then I told her that I’d write a novel that was so good that people would want to read it, and bookstores would see an uptick in sales and therefore hopefully inspire others to do the same so that the industry as a whole could become stronger—in a business sense, and as a general philosophy.  She said OK, we sipped some tea, and  here I am doing it.  I always keep my promises.

The Mistress Abu Dhabi: Unleashing the wealth of the world when temptations urge change

img_2471My wife was sentimental toward Harrod’s in London because of the long history that luxury department store had with the city that was respectable—so she wanted to do some shopping there which was quite an experience.  It was a very luxurious multilevel department store right on the edge of Hyde Park and was the anchor of all activity in that part of the city.

It was what Tiffany & Co. of New York or Sak’s Fifth Avenue were to the United States but Harrod’s had a little extra flair that I thought was quite glorious in its audacious embrace of capitalism in essentially a country that had embarked too long down the spiral of doom with socialism.  Harrod’s was all about luxury and excess declaring proudly that mankind had stepped beyond the limits of a hunting and gathering culture into the full light of an advanced society that produced more than it needed.  Harrod’s was a celebration of that and offered no apologies which surprised me in a good way.img_2451

As usual however I looked under the covers at the real situation.  I had noticed around London each time that I had been there over a two-week period that Muslim immigrants were in many service jobs at all levels of society and that for them it was a reversal of the Crusades period. Instead of the Christian world this time going into the Middle East to conquer the Muslims into conversion and acceptance of a Christian God—now it was the Muslim’s turn to handicap that originating country of the Crusades with social justice legislation through the EU then slowly convert the Christians which have been convinced to give up on the church into Islamic faithful—and they planned to do it peacefully without firing a shot.

This time there would be no attacking fortresses held by kings only to be slaughtered with superior technology.  There would be no Treaty of Versailles or the Sikes Pikot Treaty—this time the missionaries were coming from the Middle East under a banner of peace to integrate with English society then to convert their children into tolerant-open minded pacifists while the target of the next generation would be full acceptance of Sharia Law.  But that’s still about thirty years away by the attack plan well-known throughout the Muslim insurgents—for now they were peaceful and working in London—and they were shopping and working at Harrod’s.img_2459

You could see the power moves made particularly by Qatar Airlines and Turkish Airways in London to establish themselves as the new superior airline of the world marketing themselves as the next best thing.  And subtly, it was obvious at Harrod’s that they were no longer owned by the Charles Henry Harrod family but by Qatar Holdings.  This was particularly obvious when one of the many floors of that shopping complex was dedicating to promoting travel to Abu Dhabi as the next great metropolis city on earth.  And by the plans presented and so far implemented in that city which is as of now about the size of Cincinnati, Ohio by population density—it has all the benefits of a new city completely built on new wealth by the oil industry as  recently as 1971.  The Sharia Law country of Qatar is only 200 miles to the west of Abu Dhabi as Iran is right across the Persian Gulf 100 miles to 40 miles depending on where you measure from—the number one sponsor of terrorism.  Abu Dhabi is being set up as a fountainhead of capitalism thriving off the oil industry and convincing the West to turn its aggressions away out of a love for what they see there and using that wealth to bolster the terrorist countries which surround the region for their aims as a global caliphate.img_2453

Abu Dhabi is like a mistress to the civilized world—she doesn’t have the baggage of knowing her for 30 years and all the mistakes it takes to make a relationship—and showing that on her face as scars, sagging skin and menopausal hot flashes the way that Paris, London and New York are experiencing now.  Abu Dhabi is the fresh 18-year-old who loves the flash of gold and Rolex watches who would gladly trade sex with one gross looking middle-aged man to save herself from sex with many middle-aged men as an official prostitute in an economically deprived communist country such as China, Vietnam, Cambodia or even India.  She is clean and eager to please so long as she has access to the great wealth that the oil industry showers her with and this is what was on display at Harrod’s in London under the new ownership of Qatar Holdings.

Abu Dhabi was planning big things by the full-scale models of the city revealed at Harrod’s and they planned to be a big part of the international economy—which was a cover story for Islamic expansion to the far reaches of the world.  For instance, it’s not New York or Los Angeles who are looking to be the first to implement the new Hyperloop technology, it’s Abu Dhabi and India because that’s where the money is, and the freedom to build such a thing with loose regulation to allow for proper development of an emerging technology.  Within four years of this writing there will be a Hyperloop between Dubai and Abu Dhabi and an economic center of serious influence will challenge all the greatest cities of the world with new money influence.img_2460

While San Francisco, New York, London, Paris and Tokyo struggle under their welfare states built by old economic rules, the new money of Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Qatar won’t have those burdens and it will force the world literally to eat out their hand.  However, things don’t have to be this way.  Sometimes all a woman needs is love and the new mistress isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.  I think it’s too late for Paris and London, but America is sitting on vast amounts of wealth—particularly oil of its own and could easily rival the wealth of Abu Dhabi  by unleashing it.  Commercial space travel is being developed in the United States as well as great work by the Apple Company—and of course the Hyperloop is American in its origin as well as countless medical breakthroughs which are seeing the light of day under the new Trump administration.  Between those things and a resurgence of old means of economics capped off by an activist EPA—America could produce extraordinary wealth that would stop this global incursion, which was on full display at Harrod’s in London.  And that’s exactly what is causing all the trouble between the Trump administration and the world powers that have set up this whole chess board.

Trump understands what I’ve said here and his election was a decision by the American people not to surrender tomorrow to the insurgents of today.  We could still have all that Abu Dhabi is offering in the United States if we could climb out from under our debts and embrace being the only country in the world that is truly free, and fiscally independent.  Because the 18-year-old mistress that likes gold and Rolex watches gets old too and within a few years will just be another has-been.  The best investment is to keep what you have nice, and fresh by treating her nice all along and loving her even when middle age provides a second wind.  For London to be saved from these mistakes America has to be there as an ally and for that to happen, we need our own versions of Abu Dhabi.

Communism and the Seduction of our Youth

I have done plenty of reading to understand that there has been ever-present within the United States a clear and present danger to our country and everything it stands for. These enemies hide like cancer cells within the body of our society and use our Constitution to embed themselves into every aspect of our nation’s activity.

I suppose I was a bit shocked to learn to what extent communism had penetrated our society prior to World War II. Heck, even Ronald Reagan inquired about joining the communist party in 1938 when he was a young actor in Hollywood. I couldn’t help but think of Johnny Depp, George Clooney, or Sean Penn, today’s Hollywood socialists, and wonder what the common appeal is to the seductive power of communism.

Then there is this video which I ran across the other day about the New York Communist Society. I watched this video with intrigue, having to struggle to hold back my laughter while at the same time keeping myself from becoming sick.

Oh…..did you catch that?  They like to be called Progressives.  Not the “C” word. 

What most of these communist’s have in common is that they are young, and particularly sheltered from the harsh realities of the world. They have not yet cast themselves into the fires of life to become battle hardened by experience. And in the case of Hollywood, where once you’re on the inside track, the money comes easy and minds go soft with inactivity.

I remember sitting in a trailer in Hollywood getting my make-up applied by the same woman that had just put on the make-up to Johnny Depp just hours before me, and she made comments about what nice skin I had. The reason that stuck with me is that Depp is a big time star, what some would consider one of the most attractive men in the world, and here was a make-up person that thought my skin was more favorable to work with. It put in perspective for me that much of Hollywood is image once you get behind the façade of things, and many of the actors that perpetrate that image, and the make-up people that apply the image to their faces. It’s about building images, and it is easy for simple minded people to become seduced by Utopian ideas, and in Hollywood beyond the catering trucks, the agents that sit in their cars with a phone to their ears and one on the radio, and the camera crews, well paid actors look out over the Hollywood Hills and travel the streets of Santa Monica, and Beverly Hills as if they lived on another planet.

Those actors create the image that young students attempt to live up to, and when you listen to these “hippie” types repeating what their favorite star has said in some magazine, or entertainment TV show like “E” they turn to these leftist oriented groups like this New York Communist Society to fulfill the dreams of their silver screen heroes.

I emerged from such make-up trailers to ponder these images and relate them to my own experiences. You quickly realize that they don’t like you personally because you represent a world outside their understanding, but they put up with you because you have something they want, otherwise you wouldn’t be there to begin with. And such experiences have given me insight into the pathetic dreams of communists.

The works of Marx and Engels is laughable as a philosophy, rooted naively in sensitivity that is contrary to the nature of all existence. What people who subscribe to those beliefs basically hold on to is that all wealth in the world exists like air, and the rich set themselves up like trolls to guard access to it. And if the trolls were removed, then all people everywhere would have access to that wealth.

The trouble is that wealth doesn’t just exist. The elements that make up wealth do, but the organization of those elements that create the flow of money have to be created from an entrepreneur, and capitalism creates the foundation of the entrepreneur.

I know several people that live in other countries, and particularly England. The Labor Party in England created an environment that ended English Imperialism, which they are guilty of maintaining an Empire at the turn of the last century. It is assumed that America, because of our close relation to England would pursue the same course if left to our own devices. But, what that Labor Party has brought to England is row after row of the same buildings, a tax rate exceeding 50%, and their ability to export virtually nothing. They have become a service oriented society. Those same floppy minds have their hooks in America, and can be seen in that video.

Ironically, it was when Ronald Reagan was working on a film at Elstree Studios in England that scared him away from communism. Living in that country and looking at the run down, un-motivated conditions of the employees, and the residents in the neighborhoods around Elstree Studios set Ronald Reagan on a pro-capitalist journey that would propel the United States to greatness, if only for a short time in the 80’s. Reagan returned from England to the labor riots at Warner Brothers and noticed how many communists had penetrated the labor movement in Hollywood, which Reagan was president of the screen-actors guild and had intimate knowledge of such things, and was on the front line when the McCarthy Hearings took place. Reagan had made the transition because he had enough of an inquiring mind to continue growing, where many of his fellow actors were just happy collecting checks and vacationing in the mountains. Reagan’s pursuit of capitalism cost him his marriage to his first wife, Jane. But Reagan learned, thankfully, of the foolishness of communism through growing up and maturing into a middle-aged man.

And that seems to be the pattern. Young people full of compassion and fresh ideas, hungry to reshape the world into their own images seem prone to the utopian ideas of communism. And entertainment is run by the young. Most studio execs are under 35, same as agents and publicists, as well as the clientele they represent. Sports are in the same situation, where young people rule and old players considered over-the-hill are 38. In a world obsessed with the young, it’s easy to understand how these boondoggled ideas emerged and how those goofy young people could even conceive wasting their time singing songs of leftist propaganda.

Yet it’s age and wisdom that have the real value, and typically once people get both, the move more to the right on the political spectrum is what happens. It would seem those that don’t move to the right after achieving age; have poor minds to begin with. I’m thinking of people like Francis Piven, and Bill Ayers. They are just delinquents at heart in adult bodies that haven’t developed in maturing beyond age 15.

A way to describe the situation is to compare communism, and doing one of the most difficult things which is to give an employee a review. I have had to give hundreds of reviews, and the temptation is always to sit down with the employee and only discuss the nice aspects of an employee, even though the real function of a review is to let the employee know what they need to do to improve them. You can determine the strength of many managers based on the type of reviews they give their employees. Compassion is often thought of as a high quality, but what it really does is allow people to use their weaknesses as handicaps. A good manager would find the weakness in an employee and encourage them to attack that weakness to become better. You may hurt that employees feelings, but in the scheme of things, you will not only make that employee better, but you will also improve your companies operations. I can say that being a compassionate liberal is much easier and mentally less taxing than a conservative that is pushing those around them to achieve all they can with the least amount of resources. Compassion as many people know it is rooted in weakness. Weakness is giving in to shortcomings.

Communism is a disease that is only attractive to the minds of the weak and lazy. Behind advocates of communism you will find the mind of a lethargic being craving the safety of the herd. Such people have no desire to contribute equally to anything, and there will always be people like this in the world. The folly of our times however, is that we’ve allowed those types of people to actually have input in our society because of our defense of free speech, and desire to give them equal footing in our society. But what it really equates to is asking your 5 year old how to drive to California from New York City. The wise of us would ask the opinion of the youngster and pat them on their heads for their attempt at an answer. But we’d use our wisdom and age to determine the correct route based on our experience and knowledge of the terrain. And the child would sit in the back seat and color in their coloring book.

That’s where youthful opinion belongs, in the back seat.
