Communism in our Culture: What we learned from the Darbi Boddy interview

The failure on all fronts is the breakdown of the logic of communist philosophy as it has been accepted and taught to us through our public education system. This question has been asked of me many times since I did the video interview with Darbi Boddy, the Lakota school board member that the institution itself wanted to eliminate before she ever had a chance to do anything in the job. This idea that the system is in charge and not the voters is obviously a problem that was witnessed with President Trump, as the Deep State worked aggressively to get rid of Trump before he even had a chance to get into the White House. On a more local level, the same approach came at Darbi Boddy; it’s baked into the assumptions we have as a culture, one that slowly, over many years, accepted a communist view of the world as opposed to the efforts of a meritocracy—talking to her and hearing her point of view it’s easy to hear where the problem is. When she was first a school board member in those opening days, the institution aggressively sought to romance her into friendship, and the goal was then to use that friendship toward the aims of group consensus. Actually, the entire education system, as Dewey designed it, is designed to break students down into their forever social compliance roles; whether they would be the popular kids, the scrappy worker bees, or the garbage heap bottom-of-the-barrel types, public education was meant to break kids down into their social roles, and the same application would, of course, be applied to the leadership to get the same results. We weren’t teaching kids or their teacher’s exceptionalism; we were teaching sameness and class structure. The goal was class and to put people in those classes so they’d be easy to control.

After that interview with Darbi, I had a number of people call me and warn me of the terrible thing that I had done; I had given her a platform to speak from. I had allowed her to function outside of the class structure they felt was necessary for the maintenance of a public school, and it was determined that she was going to be smoked out because she had resisted the compliance culture of sameness that was expected in public education, especially on the school board level. Of course, I answered that was precisely why I ran an alternative news and opinion site because I hated communism and wanted more people like Darbi to be able to get their word out and let people see who they were, not what some communist caricature of her interpreted for the audience. It was a good interview with her, and you can know how much by how many people were upset by it. It wasn’t anything she had said, but that she had the means to say it that they were so angry with. And within that sentiment was the solution and fix to the entire problem. The weakness of communism, of course, is a society that functions on merit. When people earn their reputations and aren’t controlled by the consensus builders based on behavior, that’s when the system breaks down quickly because communists never figured it out. They simply implemented it as Karl Marx designed it, then put it out for society to follow in every way that institutions had formed in relation to the communist position. But that’s what we are dealing with. That is the goal behind globalism in general and why they expect to run the world with China-style communism as the tool.

I’ve studied this topic for a long time, including tracing the footsteps of Karl Marx and his studies in the British Museum. I had to see it for myself where the most destructive philosophy ever introduced to the human race was created. It has only been recently that communism has lost some of the stigmas that it naturally had against it in American culture because now the cat is out of the bag, and the China model is not a well-kept secret anymore. I pointed this out to everyone when Lakota schools started an exchange program to send teachers to China to learn how the communist China model would work. I was against it, and many bellyached about my comments. After all, China was our friend. I’ve openly talked about communism in our culture for my entire adult life, and the mechanism it uses is this consensus-building method that you see on every school board, every board room meeting, and every approach that involves groups of people working out common problems. You especially see it in politics, where sameness is expected. The message is that people come and go. What we need is institutional stability by taking away the peaks and valleys of performance. It was the institution that mattered more than individual input. That was the communist message to America, and by now, almost everyone involved in group activity utilizes those methods to maintain control of the institutions they serve. 

Of course, people like Darbi were elected by people who expect a more free market approach to the social management problem, which is the same for Trump as well. The public has not accepted that communism maintained through social interactions (friendships) is as big of a problem as it really is. Because they believe in America as a merit-based society, they still believe that individuals can move mountains if allowed to utilize the best and brightest ideas among them. At the same time, communism seeks to protect the institution from those pesky fluctuations of individualized input. This is why the McCarthy hearings in the 1950s were so critical and criticized by those trying to bring communism to America. The reason communism is dangerous is that we have fought several wars trying to protect ourselves from removing social interactions with individual input into a compliance structure where inputs are interchangeable and worthless. Darbi was elected to bring her individual character to the school board to represent the voters who put her there. But the school board itself, from the OSBA and down to the president, which is a person I know personally, was to get control of her. And once they realized they would never have control of Darbi, the resolve was to use the institutional protections of communism to get rid of her, with group pressure. And so many people who call themselves conservatives fell in line with the communist way of thinking. They were so far gone they could no longer see the situation objectively. And that made them hate Darbi even more because she made them realize how anti-capitalist they were in their lives. The way that communism expects to command the world through centralized authority is by controlling the expectations of what institutionalism actually does. When individuals spend their time on institutional compliance rather than the contributions of individual merit to a group debate, the power structure has shifted to centralized authority rather than merit-based input, which is the root cause of many of the world’s problems presently. It’s easy enough to fix once people realize that’s what’s going on. And in my own school district, the reaction to the Darbi Boddy interview told the story clearly for all to see, which is why she has been so good as a school board member.   We are working to get communism out of our public life, and schools are the first place to start. And to do that, we need good school boards and many more people like Darbi to bring value to managing these public assets.

Isaac Adi Gets Violent Again: An Interview with Darbi Boddy

It has been interesting to watch the trajectory of two school board officeholders who essentially started at the same place but took two different paths upon being elected to satisfy the parameters of accomplishment. Obviously, there is more to the conflict this past week between Isaac Adi and Darbi Boddy on the Lakota school board, where the police investigated a condition of assault, where Isaac, yet again under pressure, lashed out at someone trying to record his public behavior. Darbi is a tough young lady who can handle conflicts just fine. But what’s interesting is how RINOs are created because once elected, Isaac went into an appeasement mode of the very kind of people he was supposed to be engaging with, whereas Darbi has stayed faithful to her campaign promises. I talked to Darbi about all this while we were both at a March for Children rally in downtown Hamilton, Ohio. Darbi never advertised herself as anything but a fighter for children’s rights, whereas the same was expected from Isaac. But once elected, what was witnessed was an instant barrage of influencers who often inject themselves into the newly elected person’s life, and the temptation to appease these new faces is powerful, and most people never develop resistance to it. When I see these clips of Isaac Adi acting violently toward people who put cameras on him to record aggressive behavior, I see that conflict in his actions. Isaac is not alone in this problem. Being authentic has a freedom of its own which was quite apparent when I was able to talk to Darbi on camera about her first few years as a school board member at Lakota. You can see freedom of conscience in her because she has stayed true to herself. But others have not, and that often leads to the kind of obvious frustrations on the face of Isaac Adi in the footage of him lashing out at Darbi.

I worked with both Isaac and Darbi during their campaigns because many of us wanted to help Lynda O’Conner have conservative votes to work with on the Lakota school board. We felt sorry for Lynda and tried to help her. Isaac and Darbi essentially ran together as a package during the campaign, and they won their elections easily. But as soon as the election was over, Lynda started talking about controlling the school board members in ways that didn’t sound very Republican. And immediately, the OSBA (Ohio School Board Association) started to do its work; it’s like a club. They invite new school board members into the warm embrace of friendship, and it doesn’t take much for that type of romance to entice lonely people or people with a natural personality to want to please others. Admittingly, that was a concern I had about Isaac during the campaign; he was so friendly and so outgoing that I was concerned that he would find the desire to appease the other school board members too lucrative when conflict was the best approach. One thing that we did talk about that didn’t make it on camera was Darbi’s support network, with Kelly Kohls at the National Leadership Council (NSBLC), which offers an alternative to the support of the more labor-union-controlled OSBA. Lynda O’Conner and I have talked specifically about the OSBA; she thinks it’s a good organization. I think along the lines of Darbi and Kelly on the matter. But the obvious results are in the influences that led to Darbi doing what voters expected on the Lakota school board and Isaac looking to appease all these new friends, which is the game of politics that happens at every level.

As I explained to Darbi, I am proud of her, as many are. I’ve been doing this kind of thing, supporting candidates in many ways, for many years, and most of the time, it results in a dud. It’s like going to the fireworks store for the Fourth of July and buying a bunch of fireworks that never blow up. You have great expectations, but they just fizzle out when you light the fuse. Whereas with Darbi, she has exploded in all the right ways that were very satisfying and surprising. Every now and then, your hopes and expectations are met, which is the case with Darbi. She was not seduced by all the forces that have taken public education in the wrong direction, and that has been great to see. The ratio for me is about 10 to 1. Of every ten candidates I have worked with over the years, you occasionally get one Darbi. Of course, I knew when such an honest person like Darbi, who simply wanted to do an excellent job as a school board member, confronted a system with so much bad behavior in it, and that bad behavior was hidden from the public through friendships that were designed to conceal it; then there would be conflict. I get emails from people all over the country from people who are political moderates who are jealous that they don’t have someone like Darbi Boddy on their school board. I am very proud of her and would love to have three or four more like her, people who could resist the temptations of group consensus at the expense of voter responsibility.

I brought this up during our talk, how one player for the Reds inspired many others to get better. In many ways, Darbi has been that person for Lakota

We don’t elect people into politics to get along, which is becoming more evident in national politics. We don’t expect physical altercations either, but one of the problems that lead to so much corruption is the appeasement of peers, which is at the heart of the problem at every level. At Lakota, at the fundamental community level, we can see two people who started in the same place and quickly went in entirely different directions. From both perspectives, they had good intentions, yet during our talk, Darbi hit the nail on the head; much of the evil that starts in the world of politics doesn’t come from some pitch-forked devil; it’s often the friendly face who wants to buy you dinner and treat you like a king or princess. Of course, they expect something in return. But it’s often hard to see because it feels good to be liked. Some people will do anything to be liked; once others know that about you, they own you. And at that point, elected representatives often go bad when they fall in love with being loved because, just like a manipulative spouse, once they start jerking around your feelings, you lose the authenticity of why people voted for you in the first place. And at the heart of the conflict between Darbi and Isaac, two people who ran for office together and had been friends, is this villain of appeasement. The lucrative nature of being accepted in the warm embrace of friendship within institutional confinement is a nector all its own. And thankfully, in our community, Darbi didn’t fall for it, much to the frustration of those who wanted to seduce her into it. That’s why people tell me they are jealous of us in Lakota because they see the clear value in elected representatives like Darbi Boddy. The controversy only comes from those who want to steer her in a different direction. But she has stayed with the voters authentically, and people appreciate that, as they do with all people who do so. And with Isaac, it’s frustrating when you can’t please everyone, and that comes out in these outbursts caught on camera twice now. As Darbi said to me, she gets tired of how people talk behind closed doors and speak in public. That duality is the source of the problem because an honest person would be the same in any format.

I’m An Anti-Federalist: I’m never going to sign up for global communism or a life without the American Constitution

Since there is so much talk about revolution, law and order, and proper conduct for people and their government, let’s put a few things in perspective. Most of the people in the world are really dumb. Not because they lack intelligence but because they have not educated themselves and are entirely too dependent on the government education they received as kids and young adults, and their minds are rotten. This was a purposeful excursion into the world of control as the powers of the world have intended. One of the first things I did on this blog site was to establish that a couple of my favorite works of literature are the Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers. I consider the American Constitution to be one of the most important works of philosophy in the history of the world. And that trajectory will continue despite this current globalist movement toward borderless communism led by a new military power in the world, the aristocratic financiers. The trajectory of human experience naturally drives them toward more personal freedom, whereas the power structures using technology to facilitate it seek more centralized control resulting in the kind of divisiveness we see today. When governments try to take people where they naturally don’t want to go, people would have a moral, ethical, and legal right to stop them. I never signed up for a communist takeover of my government, so if a government tries to move in that direction, people naturally have a moral obligation to fight it for the sake of all future humanity.   Because of the poor quality of their education systems, most people don’t know what they should be thinking or doing. They just know what they feel even if their intellectual aptitude has been robbed from them deliberately by these corrupt forces to acquire power that has always been at the heart of the problem. 

When I say I love the American Constitution, I love it as a work of philosophy as part of the evolution of human experience that will continue along that many thousands of years of trajectory. That collision of personal freedom and expression is colliding with many millions of years of human beings clambering to be the village chief of their tribe and the centralized authority of their localized clan. People naturally want to be in charge of other people, even if people as a species are constantly growing away from that primal perspective. But I am not happy at all with the tone of the American Constitution.   I see Federalism to be entirely too restrictive and centralized, which is uncomfortably too cozy with big government solutions. During the debate of the original Constitution, I would not have been happy with the eventual Constitution, as I would have been aligned with the Anti-Federalist sentiment, such as Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr. I live in the town named after the big-time Federalist Alexander Hamilton. But I would not have liked Hamilton. I think the world was done a great service when he lost the duel with Aaron Burr and that the world would be a lot better off if people still settled their disputes with one another with duels instead of hiring a bunch of pansy lawyers to go to court. Courts have been a poor substitution for the restitution of satisfaction. But, I have agreed to live in such a society under those rules, and its that settled Constitution that I have signed up for, even if I don’t agree with much of the big government approach that was in the final Constitution for which we have built our laws around as a nation. History now shows how wise such a Constitution was and how a country could prosper. So, it’s worth defending as written.

However, I view the Bill of Rights as a concession to the Anti-Federalist arguments, which is precisely what they were. I am personally to the right of the Bill of Rights by quite a lot. Much of my personal beliefs are to the right of Thomas Jefferson and other early Anti-Federalists, so what ended up in our Constitution naturally is too oppressive for me as it is. The Bill of Rights, which was added after the Constitution was ratified, was included to appease the Anti-Federalists. George Washington was a Federalist; I don’t talk much about him. He may have done a great job as a leader of his time, but he’s not the kind of person I’d sit down with and talk all night about philosophy.   George Washington was entirely too liberal for me. And that is even more true today for people who do their homework and read the Constitution and understand history; the conflicts being expressed presently are an attempt to reverse the course of the human race back to a dependent culture that runs contrary to the desires of all human beings. George Washington and his buddy Alexander Hamilton and John Adams were good people with roots still in the old aristocracy of Federalist ideas. While they rebelled against the crown’s control over the colonies, they still liked to play dress up and dance with the ladies as military officers. The Anti-Federalists wouldn’t even want the military because they could be used as an oppressive force against the rights of the people. 

This is why the notion that Trump supporters, or any hard-liner conservatives, are Nazis or fascists, or anything derogatory, is rooted in sheer stupidity. All those terms are along the scale of European socialism and communism as defined by Karl Marx and are not even considerations in American life, which evolved from the philosophy of the Constitution and the economic concepts identified in the great work by Adam Smith and his Wealth of Nations. Because global academics have ignored Adam Smith and embraced Karl Marx, that doesn’t mean they were right. All it means is that people trusted authority too much to question what was being taught and not ask the basic questions as to whether it should be taught, as most people would be better off without knowing anything about Karl Marx. But Karl Marx facilitated those immature urgencies in the effort for the village chiefs to retake the primal desire for centralized authority. The work of the American Constitution is what everyone should be studying and using to have successful cultures of their own. But as for global definitions, the political spectrum isn’t along the lines of hard Karl Marx and soft Karl Marx, but no Karl Marx all together. Global communism and socialism are not an option; for America, there is only one law: the Constitution. If we are dealing with a government that seeks to get rid of it in favor of something else if that’s the case, I’m to the political right of the Anti-Federalist types, and the fight will be along those lines. Not in digital currency, run by a bunch of dumb Marxists in Switzerland while debating the merits of cuff links over tea. I’m happy to live under the restrictions of the American Constitution because it has a history of working, even if it drives me crazy with too much-centralized government. But for those who want to get rid of that law, I think the world would be a lot better off with Aaron Burrs and the duels of satisfaction than the brain-dead stupidity of the Deep State bureaucrats. And if they want to go there, that’s on them.

No, Trump Will Not Be Going To Jail: People won’t put up with it

At this point, it’s pretty much a joke; anybody with half a brain sees what’s going on with the election of 2024. Jack Smith and the corrupt DOJ, the Democrat asset FBI, and the mechanisms Beltway politics have weaponized the law to keep Trump from being able to even run for president because they know what they did. They cheated in the 2020 election, Biden never had 81 million votes, and they hoped everyone would forget about it and move on by now. But the Republican Party did not return to a controlled asset of Democrats, it has stayed the party of Trump, and now there is a lot of panic among those who have been committing all these crimes using the power of government to do so. Now that they are desperate beyond anything that public relations firms can manage, they are showing just how bad they really are. We are dealing with a corrupt criminal government that is struggling to hold power, and they are using that acquired power to destroy their political opponents. And the hope is that Republicans will play along like they always do and get punched in the face and won’t punch back like Democrats and their radical communist advocates do. And those big government types are hoping that Trump will go to jail over this classified document situation, which isn’t going to happen. Trump isn’t going to be in trouble over anything for a lot of reasons. There is no possible path for putting Trump in jail. No power of a corrupt government that can do it. No, Trump will not be in handcuffs and be led to jail by the Biden administration or their minion, Jack Smith, and the DOJ. It simply can’t happen.

The first reason it won’t happen is that Trump was president, and unlike the classified documents cases of Pence, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden, none of them were ever president.  Trump was, and he had a right to classify or declassify anything he wanted to. Don’t listen to a word that goofy Bill Barr has to say on the matter; several problems with the Presidential Act presents major issues for the Biden case. First of all, notice how the Attorney Generals for Trump were both anti-Trump and were not activists in the way that Merrick Garland has been for Biden. Jeff Sessions talked tough but was far more interested in appeasing Democrats than in doing the work of the Trump administration. Then to show the Swamp creatures in the Beltway that Trump wasn’t going to put someone loyal to him in the Attorney General spot, he appointed Bill Barr to appease the RINOs, which obviously was a mistake because, like many of the bootlickers in the Trump administration, Bill Barr was working against Trump as much as the Democrats were, and he doesn’t see the law the way rationality expresses it. The obvious abuse of the law is there for all to see; with Republicans, they are supposed to be fair, but Democrats can do anything they want with their Departments of Justice. No, if they make a big deal about this records act, then there aren’t many Democrats who can live up to the case law, and suddenly the can of worms will be fully opened, which is a standard nobody can live with. Sure, Democrats and Rino Republicans like Barr are more than willing to go there for the short-term goal of stopping Trump. But in doing so, they’ll destroy themselves because they won’t be able to live up to the standard they will have created for themselves. 

Then there is the other issue that nobody wants to discuss. Who in their right mind thinks that roughly 30% of the population is going to allow such an obvious injustice of the law to go on without violence? For the people who believed that January 6th was the worst thing that ever happened in America, they need a history lesson. There is no instance in a free nation where an authority-driven government got away with such a blatant coup without violence checking the action. This China model that these globalists are using think that the same methods used in Asia will work in America. Not even close. Asians are a collective-based culture where people tend to follow orders from centralized authority, the way a village chief used to.

In America, there has been an assumption of freedom, and now that reality has shown people otherwise, many hotheads are ready to boil. They have remained peaceful because they assumed that elections were open and honest. But now it’s obvious that they have been rigged and that many of our federal politicians have sold us out and think they are going to get away with continuing to support that kind of system. And people are mad. Trump gives them a peaceful option to return our country to a representative nation. But if it’s not, which is clearly the assumption of the Biden White House, well then plenty of people are ready for a fight in the street. And there aren’t enough radical leftists to perform that task of fearful enforcement. We’re talking about a government that can’t even install a water fountain. How are they going to bring over 300 million people under their rule without manipulating them from the shadows? They have a slight problem; people used to give them the benefit of doubt. But not anymore. The assumption of good deeds and that we are all on the same team as Americans is no longer a motivating tagline for peace and justice. If this government tries to put Trump in jail to keep him from being elected, then people are going to lose their cool really fast. 

It’s actually pretty funny how stupid some of these globalists and big government types are. They obviously don’t understand how regular people think. There was no way to pull off this tyrannical, Chinese-style coup without having complete control of the media and of guns. And this government has done neither, nor will they ever. They have shown their intentions to do so and to copy the Chinese in every way. But America is not China. People in America are a lot more hot-tempered, and the only thing that has maintained the balance is the assumption that people could pick their own representatives in government. On January 6th, 2021, a very small percentage of the population became angry when they felt their government slipping away from them, so they protested at the Capitol Building. But that was nothing, and I said so after the event. I heard what the political left was saying about it and had to shake my head. What did they think would happen if people really got upset and Trump wasn’t even on a ticket to vote for? Or that their vote didn’t matter at all. That’s where a lot of people are now, and before they just put up and shut up, a large percentage of the population will look for other options. And it wouldn’t be their fault.

America’s founding documents clearly establish that tyrannical governments must be dismantled from time to time, and this is one of those times. Trump is the peaceful means to do so. Throwing him in jail will only unleash a level of anger that has never been seen domestically in America. Other places in the world, perhaps. But radical communists are not the only ones who can play hardball. And before people in America become mind numb compliant, there will be expressions of anger, to say the least, toward these perpetrators of corruption, in a method that history will certainly take note of. When people can no longer fly their Trump flags to protest a corrupt government, what does anybody think will be the next thing? It won’t be rainbows and smiley faces, that’s for sure.

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.

Charm at the Farm in Lebanon, Ohio: What a post-corporate world could look like

My daughter knows a couple of nice young ladies from out in Lebanon, Ohio, who are the organizers of the Charm at the Farm shopping experience. It’s where southern Ohio craftspeople who want to offer their creations to the public get together in a field north of Lebanon on the way to Springboro and shop under some tents in the open air. My wife and daughter wanted to go and asked me to come along. One of my grandsons was going, so I decided to go along to spend time with him. To me, the whole event was a very girly affair where there wasn’t anything manly to do. It’s all shopping for crafts and clothes, the kind of stuff you would find in a Cracker Barrel gift shop, but it was an entire field full of those types of items. I had spent the morning checking stock drops for Target, Disney, and even Bud Light as woke politics was killing their value. ESG was ruining those companies, so the financial frontier did not look promising. Politics was also bleak; there wasn’t much good news anywhere. Things were starting to look like the plot of a Mad Max movie out there; so after a bit of thought, I was actually looking forward to spending time with my family at the Charm at the Farm, for whatever came of it. And I’m happy to say I was very pleasantly surprised. Where I thought it would be boring, I was actually quite impressed. It was quite an enterprise and was a good lesson to all those at the World Economic Forum who think they have the plotting of world domination figured out. The lesson of events at Charm at the Farm was that no matter what happened in the world, people were going to do what people wanted to do. 

I expected the event to be something of a fancy yard sale. It was on someone’s Farm with a big empty field serving as the parking lot. It reminded me of the Niederman Farm experience near my home, where they do a similar kind of thing every year, and I pick up a healthy stash of apple cider that is much better than what you can buy at the store. Only Charm at the Farm was much larger, and they were selling all kinds of unique items. For instance, my wife and I have been all over the United States in some of the best hat stores that there are. Well, I have a fast draw competition coming up and my wife is going with me, and she wanted a new hat. She has literally turned down many hundreds of hats as she was holding out for just the perfect one. She almost found one she liked in Jackson, Wyoming, but ended up putting it back because she didn’t “click” with it. But she found one she loved at Charm at the Farm. The attire was classy, upper tier. The kind of outfits and home decorations suitable for the wealth of outside the I-275 loop communities, for which Lebanon was so well known. But that wasn’t all we found that day. I was very pleasantly surprised by how much money we actually spent. I found some gourmet pickles from a vendor who was there from Miamisburg, and they were fantastic. There were so many handcrafted, quality items that we could have easily spent a lot more money. I didn’t expect it to be such a well-put-together event.

It was evident to me that I was seeing what a world where if all the corporations failed what it would look like. The maniacal planners at the World Economic Forum, who have gained control of most of the world’s corporations through BlackRock, thought they could control everything if only they controlled all the corporations. But rather, people would always choose alternatives, even if that meant setting up a shop in someone’s field and selling directly to the customers. Who needed corporations when private enterprises would do a much better job? And that is the truth in America, where small businesses make up most of the jobs anyway. If corporate America failed, then our economy would go on without them. We didn’t need corporations, not when we had the innovative spirit shown so brilliantly at Charm at the Farm. All the people I saw there were well put together. There were no beat-up cars in the parking lot. Many people from different races were represented appropriately to the actual world demographics. It was a non-political event in that no representation of woke politics was present. No hint to it. What was happening with the outside world was not a thought during that shopping experience. So even though much of the material was geared toward women, I enjoyed it for the window into a possible future that it provided. Corporations needed Americans. Americans didn’t need corporations. If people decided that the World Economic Forum’s control of our businesses was too much for them, then they’d find another way. But one way or the other, another way would always be the case.

This wasn’t the liberal apocalypse of Mad Max, where crazy Antifa transvestites were riding around trying to steal gas and rape women casually like a bunch of Democrat barbarians. Those people lived in the cities, and if they showed up out in areas outside the I-275 loop, they found themselves unwelcome. Out in Lebanon, people still fly their Trump flags, they still go to church, and they aren’t going to drink Bud Light cans with the gay little Pee Wee character on them. Everything at Charm at the Farm was nice, even the food, and showed what a post-corporate world would actually look like when the government got out of the way and left people alone. People like nice things, and they want to sell nice things to other people. That was the actual state of the world without political activism by radical Democrats who are always trying to ruin everything for everyone. In a vacuum of safety, being so far away from cities like Cincinnati, Dayton, and Columbus, Charm at the Farm was a nice little secret that I was happy to be let in on. If not for my daughter, I probably wouldn’t have known about it. But she thought I’d like it, and she was right. It gave me great ideas for what the future would look like if Democrat policies were removed and people could be left to their own devices to make a living. They wouldn’t have to sacrifice their lifestyle of nice things if all the corporations moved out of America or went out of business. America would go on, and so would the people. But we wouldn’t descend into chaos and become a bunch of barely living heathens. People could still live high-quality lives without any corporations because they were inclined to do so because of the desire for nice things. What Charm at the Farm showed me was that the best of what America has to offer is very much still alive. It’s much easier to see when corporations are removed from the shopping experience because it is then that the tenacity of the human race is truly on display. And we learn that centralized authority from a one-world government is even less possible than we previously thought.

It’s Christmas at Lakota: Not letting Darbi Boddy play in all the raindeer games

I love Christmas, and it’s great to see some of those Holiday festivities so lavishly displayed at Lakota schools in the middle of summer 2023. In a vote 4-1, the Lakota school board voted in favor of creating a Community Diversity Council to replace the Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Committee that had been recently disbanded. The new council will include 30 community members with diverse backgrounds so that there can be more productive conversations about topics featuring race, religion, and sexual identity, according to the advocates. From the current school board, Lynda O’Connor and Kelly Casper were chosen to represent the board. Darbi Boddy asked to be on the board, but that was denied by all the board members, including the two supposedly conservative members. All the other reindeers at Lakota wanted to laugh and play, but they wouldn’t let Darbi Boddy play in any of the reindeer games. It was Christmas at Lakota schools; the only thing missing was the prospect of snow because it was so warm outside. And that was the lead to the story on creating the Diversity Council because it purposely excluded a controversial board member. Darbi represents a large portion of the Lakota school district population who do not want their tax money funding excessively radical Democrat policies, and that is what the “trans talk” has all been about, discussions on gender identity and rights to bathrooms, which the other school board members have been advocating for. The same policies that have angered people regarding Bud Light beer, Target, and Rainbow flags flown at the White House are precisely the intention of this new progressive consensus-building mechanism. And Darbi Boddy wasn’t even allowed to participate, as she was deliberately excluded from the conversation because the board did not want to hear from her about anything. They would prefer to imagine that Darbi is unique and that her viewpoints are radical, which isn’t the case. 

The previous groups on Diversity Equity & Inclusion last met on May 5th and spiraled out of control, according to reports which was a bridge too far for Eglin Card, who had been on the committee and was so frustrated with Darbi’s statements that he took a superintendent job at Princeton schools. People who supported Darbi had no problem with her position; she represented a large portion of the Lakota community when she meant to separate the radical politics of the teacher union position and eliminate the temptation to groom children in the classrooms. Darbi’s position on the matter was to more appropriately represent the conservative nature of the Lakota school system itself, where the Democrats, many of them hiding their liberalism behind masks of conservative utterances, just so they can get elected in a heavily populated Republican community, intended to push a leftist agenda onto the community through the vulnerability of their children. That is the position of most of the public schools in the country, and it’s the goal of all governments to impose such beliefs on people with great audacity. When Darbi was elected to the board last year, it was to bring more conservative values to the school board. Her critics say it’s not her place to bring politics to the board, yet, most of their actions center on Democrat politics that are expected to be expressed unchallenged. And they have spent most of their time trying to run Darbi off the school board, and they hope there will never be another one like her. Yet, we are in an election year, and some school board challengers are forming to give Darbi more support on the board since the other two supposed conservatives have essentially been voting like radical Democrats. The Lakota school board clearly would be helped if it had more members like Darbi Boddy. 

But that’s not the opinion of the radicals, like Eglin Card, who had some harsh comments about Darbi on his way to Princeton schools. He told the media about the situation, “We used to be a model district, and now people are calling me from all over the state and the region laughing at us. That the public perception of the district has taken a nose-dive because of Boddy’s politically charged antics that put the district in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.” Because he thinks like that, I’m happy to see Eglin go. I have watched Princeton schools in the Tri-County area that I talk about so much over the years go from one of the premier communities in Cincinnati to being a joke. Because of out-of-control Democrat politics that moved into that area many years ago, the money and value picked up and moved away, leaving behind all the liberal radicals nobody wants to live around. It has nothing to do with race but with shared values. People with values don’t want their kids learning about gay rights in schools, which is a radical political platform. It has nothing to do with reading, writing, and arithmetic. I consider Lakota to have greater value if everyone like Eglin, who wants to bring Democrat concepts to a conservative community, did leave. He can take all the rest of the radical leftists who Lakota schools employ with him. Our community will be far better off without them than with them. 

Darbi’s resistance to Democrat policies is intended for the long-term preservation of the kind of community that Lakota is. And ultimately, that’s what protects real estate value. Blue state politics destroys that value, which is in all public schools attached to government. And challenging those Democrat objectives is what keeps communities from becoming like Princeton. I remember when Chester Road, which runs through the Princeton school’s complex, was one of the hottest commercial zones in all of Cincinnati. Over the years, most of the businesses have left because bad politics drove them out. And now the area is a fraction of its former self. Most of the people left are those who couldn’t afford to leave. That’s not prosperity; that’s precisely what Lakota is fighting because a lot of those people from Princeton moved north into Lakota and Mason. And secretly, because they are afraid to say it in public, but they vote with their feet. They don’t want Lakota, Mason, Lebanon, and those other school districts outside of the I-275 loop to allow Democrats to ruin their communities, behind the mask of children, which is precisely Eglin’s intention. It’s good that the people he talks to are upset at Darbi’s position. They assume that liberal politics is the value of public schools. But, the property owners expect protection, and out of all the board members currently, only Darbi Boddy gives it to them. And when the rubber hits the road on this issue, Santa Clause turned to Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer to guide his quest through a foggy night sky. And while the other reindeers were making fun of Rudolph, it took his unique gifts to light the way for success. And that is what Darbi is for Lakota, a positive light in a vast darkness of liberalism that is dangerous to children, destructive to communities, and corrosive to our national character. And we should all be so lucky that Darbi Boddy is there to lead Lakota schools through the fog of horrendous Democrat politics that wants to destroy our children and to run off all by herself radical progressive lunatics to other districts that are hell-bent on their own destruction.

People Want a Winner in Trump: We have a right and obligation to change our government, and elections are the most peaceful way to do it

There seems to be a lot of mystery as to why so many people support President Trump, even with over 70 criminal counts against him, multiple indictments from several states, and is facing almost 600 years in jail. Yet he’s the choice pick for president in 2024 because people get it. They understand what’s going on even if the details are too complicated or evil for them to grasp fully. We have suffered for all too long under the kind of sell-off that Speaker McCarthy just tossed America’s way with that ridiculous debt ceiling deal, an obvious loss to a feeble old man in Biden. McCarthy just signed up, without much pushback in negotiations, to 50 trillion dollars in debt by 2030. Republicans, even with a majority, never do anything when they have power, they are controlled opposition at best, and America ends up losing time and time again to radical leftist Marxists and open warfare communists. The perks are too good in government, and the temptation to become corrupt far too great, and we lose most of who we send to those positions. That is, until President Trump. He’s independently wealthy and can afford to be truly independent. So, he is free from corruption in the way it typically occurs. And people see in him an opportunity to have a real representative in the Executive Branch. They know the government is corrupt, and they have tried again over the years to find solutions to these problems, and nothing has worked except for voting for President Trump. So they are standing behind him no matter what these criminal government conspirators throw at him because they are tired of losing. People want Trump because he is a winner, he expects to win, and they understand that all these criminal indictments are simply a government that wants to take out their rival before they must compete with them in an election that will be harder to steal this time around. 

We are dealing with people who have no respect for American sovereignty and have rigged global politics to their mobster-style governing practices. When people like Jim Comey, the former FBI Director, say that Trump does not follow the Constitution, they mean in the way that they have interpreted it for their benefit. I have read the Constitution many times; I always have a copy near me within a few feet. Two of my favorite books are The Federalist Papers and The Anti-Federalist Papers, so I have an excellent grasp on what the Constitution says, and it doesn’t point to the reality that Comey and this Jack Smith loser think it says, where the government makes up rules on the back of a napkin and then expects society to enforce the laws, they create to hold power. No, the Constitution is all about limiting government and its tempting abusees from doing precisely what this Biden government has been doing. If we were not a country with over 300 million guns in it, growing daily, this government would go door to door as they wanted to during Covid and impose power on people in abusive ways. Just over the weekend of June 10th, 2023, the White House, seeing how they are getting killed with information leaks that directly tie Biden to bribery deals to Ukraine, and China are hoping to resurrect Covid protocols at the White House for no other reason than to exert power because the proof from a lot of investigations is closing in. And the government is doing the only thing it knows how to do; they are exerting power to warn people off coming after them. Because they fight, lie, cheat, and steal power so they can abuse it. Yet the Constitution is designed to protect people from that power, and ultimately, that’s why they are struggling now, to maintain the illusion of power, because they can’t go door to door and harass people, and that elections are supposed to be free, and they have been caught tampering with them. 

Who doubts now that President Trump was removed from office with a government-organized coup in 2020? With all these indictments by a corrupt government, its evident that what we are seeing is an attempted Marxist coup in America by dedicated lefties who work in the FBI, the CIA, and the entire Democratic Party, RINOs who come along for the fun of it, similar to what we witnessed in China, Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, and Brazil recently. Only in America do we have an expectation of Constitutionally guaranteed free speech and the rights of guns to defend ourselves from such ostentatious exhibitions of power. The Marxist enemy that wants global communism through corporate capture and finance expects people just to take it. But Trump is their peaceful resolution to the matter, their attempt to recapture their government Constitutionally from insurgent forces that have now shown their hand. Kevin McCarthy and the House Republicans continue to lose to these globalists losers? People are tired of losing to such people and will vote for President Trump because they are tired of it. And I’ll go on to say that if this election does not represent the people’s will, there will be a lot of trouble. If people don’t have Trump to vote for and that hope for a peaceful resolution is taken away from them, then there will be serious trouble for this government, and the people will have a right to do it. 

It says clearly in the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence signed by Congress on July 4th, 1776, that “whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, (toward personal freedoms of the people involved) it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new government.” With all this talk about the National Archives and presidential acts, and who can have classified information and that kind of thing, you can read that for yourself on the documents kept there. It’s the fundamental right of all Americans. If they don’t like their government, they can get rid of it and make a new one. And that’s the plan with Trump. People would prefer a peaceful end to all this mess, but we are not supportive of 50 trillion dollars and a government that tries to destroy former presidents just because they don’t like them. What we are dealing with in America is a government not accountable to the people it’s supposed to represent, so of course, Trump is at the top of the charts for another term. And people don’t care a bit about the charges a corrupt group of Marxists come up with to attempt to stop Trump. For most people, Trump is better than an armed removal of this corrupt government, and if anybody wants to refer to the National Archives, they are welcome to. It’s the law in America to limit the powers of government. Not to give them a blank check as Kevin McCarthy just did, and the other soft-shelled RINOs in Congress that thought playing nice with communist radicals was more important than representing the interests of the people and losing to them over and over again like a bunch of fools is not it. People want winners, and in Trump, they have one. And they want that kind of person running their government, even the independents. The Biden people and their malicious attachments know how bad they are and what they have been doing, and they are hoping to control the wrath of the people they have screwed over. But not this time. Punishment is coming for them, one way or another.

My Opinion on the Debt Ceiling: America is bankrupt, and its time to file it

What do I think of the debt ceiling deal that the Republicans just gave the Democrats, the crazy Biden plan for perpetually more spending and a substantiation of more out-of-control costs? Obviously, it was a horrible deal, and a default on the debt would have been far better and would have avoided a lot of pain coming down the road. It was irresponsible to make a deal with the Democrats, Kevin McCarthy got played giving away negotiating points that he didn’t need to, making it easy for the Democrats, and now our federal government has signed up to balloon our national debt to over 50 trillion dollars by 2030. It’s reckless and destructive, but I’ve been warning everyone about it for a long time. Our government does not represent us; it represents globalism, driven by international finance and the Open Border insurgents. This isn’t something that any government that plans to stick around would ever sign up for. This is precisely what Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson were worried about regarding losing sovereignty to the global banking clans, which was very much the centerpiece of his presidency. This deal only helps two groups of people, those who want to destroy the concept of America by choking it off with massive debt and Democrats who want to stay in power by giving away stuff to a voter base and then to pay for it all with interest to those same hostile parties. It’s like a credit card company giving a teenager infinite lines of credit to rack them up in debt so that those same companies can live off the interest rates due to the irresponsible spending. That’s what this debt ceiling negotiation in 2023 was all about. It took the issue off the table until after the next presidential election so that all the current parties could stay in power and keep from having to discuss all this until after the next election, and when we do have that discussion, the next president will be seriously shackled. So, in short, it was a disaster. 

But not a surprise. There aren’t enough Freedom Caucus members in Congress yet to make changes like this, and even some of those were too tempted to play nice with Kevin McCarthy to avoid the bad headlines from a media that was cheering this massive financial destruction. The value of this debate was on whether America would not pay its bills. Instead, it should have been, why are we spending so much money? There just weren’t enough politicians articulate enough to make that point when the headlines were pointing in another direction. Of course, the world wants to make a lot of money off the interest loaned to America and to have politicians in their hip pocket who owe them, like Joe Biden does, as revealed by the contents of the Hunter Biden laptop. This is why all those politicians are rich; they didn’t get that way by doing the right thing, but by selling out their offices to investments, by making policy decisions that were only good for those who put money in their pockets and allowed those politicians to buy mansions, in multiple locations and live a lavish lifestyle. What was expected in return is that all those politicians who signed on to this debt deal would vote in favor of endless spending and debt to provide easy incomes off the interest to those global insurgents. They think Americans are suckers and have no respect for us. If they can all get rich from the destruction of America, then they will be very happy.   And after signing this debt deal, many people are thrilled.

I was surprised to see positive reviews of the debt ceiling negotiations from my congressman Warren Davidson and fellow Ohio congressman Jim Jordon. They thought initially on paper that it was a responsible thing to do to beat the June first deadline artificially created by Janet Yellen. Like most crime families who have been doing this kind of thing for a long time, the Biden administration set a bunch of artificial deadlines to drive the sentiment, and the Republicans fell for it, pure and simple. Once the story of value became all about meeting those deadlines and not reigning in irresponsible spending, the negotiations were over, and that’s what I heard from my local congressman. The value they were working to was simply the wrong one. They believed they were fighting for the right to be honorable in paying our bills. But these are bills that America shouldn’t be paying for. And essentially, all this just sets up a final apocalyptic resolution, a judgment day in the very near future. I’m not signing up for this mess. This is not my government making these decisions. These are people working for hostile foreign intents. The Freedom Caucus is growing and will continue to. Not before we have to have a standoff on the debt crisis. Thirty trillion in debt is too much. I remember when we thought 16 trillion was out of control. So all this is just out of the realm of sanity, and the only way out is a massive global war between globalism and nationalism. 

This only makes President Trump more attractive. He’s personally been through this before with his own finances, and he solved that problem by defaulting on his loans and declaring bankruptcy, and that’s what America will have to do to get out of this massive debt. Of course, the people who loaned us the money, such as China and other prominent bankers, will be upset. They have a nice set-up with collecting interest from America that they won’t want to give up. But America will have to default on the loans, declare bankruptcy, and completely restructure our government, which most people aren’t quite ready for. Yet eventually, that is the only solution on the horizon, and nobody has been talking about it in the media, which makes it worse. There will be a lot of anger once all this hits the fan and people realize the economic impact on their private lives. Really, we should have had hard talks about the debt ceiling way back in 2016. Trump was doing what he does, and that was to spend America into growth, which would have worked if his presidency had not been interrupted in 2020 by a hostile coup by our intelligence agencies. Now the way out is to become the number one generator of fossil fuels, default on these high-interest debts, and renegotiate entirely the trade deals with all the foreign powers. And recognize this financial situation for the military threat that it actually is. It’s about crushing nationalism in favor of globalism. And we will have to flip that script for our own preservation, which will be the hot story in the next election. All this mess could have been avoided if only we had enough responsible politicians in Washington, but we don’t. We have a bunch of sell-outs, and they sold us out with irresponsibility and a commitment away from American sovereignty, and they did not do their jobs. They did not represent me; I can say that. And I’m not OK with the deal they signed; that battle is now on the horizon. And I’m not with them. That’s for sure.

18 Years in Prison for the Oath Keepers: Defeating the Enemy with unstructured resistance

Watching the government throw the book at the Oath Keepers, giving their leaders 18 years in prison, is essentially the SWAMP fighting back against those criticizing it. It’s a manipulation of the rule of law that benefits the acquisition of power itself and points to the root cause of the evil that has corrupted our government in extremely unhealthy ways. To see the Oath Keepers and all January 6th prisoners harassed the way they have been is corruption that we have to deal with as a society. To see them prosecuted while leaders of Antifa continue free, waiting for their next assignment from the government to burn down a city block, is preposterous. But it’s also very revealing. We are better off knowing the forces opposing us, how deeply they are rooted in our government, and what their motivations are. And at least now we know. The people who protested on January 6th were mad over election fraud, a process that removed the president they liked from office. I think it says many good things about our society; that it wasn’t worse than it was, and more people didn’t get hurt. At the time, it wasn’t so apparent the amount of election fraud that our intelligence agencies obviously supported to keep the power they had acquired from being drained away by an outsider like Trump. But once the lines in the sand were established, a much clearer picture of what the problems were that emerged, and this prosecution of the Oath Keepers displayed it without any doubt as to the level of evil we are dealing with embedded in our own taxpayer-funded government that has spun out of control with corruption. I wasn’t surprised, however, based on my own personal experiences. 

Along with the Oath Keepers, the Proud Boys have been at the center of many of these Pro-Trump protests and have actually been confronting Antifa in the streets, meeting aggression with aggression. I told some of the story before, about how after Trump was removed from the White House through election fraud, early in November of 2020, I actually signed up for the Cincinnati chapter of the Proud Boys and started the vetting process. My concern was that Antifa would be emboldened by putting Biden in the White House, and we would have to fight these people in the streets. We had seen elements of BLM attempt to organize in Cincinnati, fanned on by area reporters wanting to see a fight in the streets of Northern Cincinnati where conservative politics has collected itself and to harass people in their comfortable homes. Given the kind of aggression we saw from these radical liberal groups, a fight was undoubtedly on the horizon with guns and busted heads as part of the violence that would surely follow. So I signed up officially to be part of that resistance, and I wanted people in the FBI to know that my name was on the list as one of the leaders. I wasn’t playing around; I was very serious about it. 

Over the following weeks, though, I lost interest because it was obvious that some hazing was going to happen, and I’m not a group consensus kind of guy. They used the word “brother” a lot, as they were a unified brotherhood, and that just wasn’t a fit for me. If there was going to be violence against government-sponsored insurgents looking to overthrow our American Constitution, then that was one thing. But I wasn’t looking for a military brotherhood, and we had a lot of conversations about uniforms and the right to wear the colors of the Proud Boys before anybody had been adequately vetted by the group. So I lost interest quickly in that kind of talk. I’m used to being completely in charge when I get into something, and I was not about to prove my allegiance through hazing rituals to a bunch of 30-somethings. And submit myself to some regimented command. I didn’t put up with that stuff when I went to college. Military life wasn’t for me because of those kinds of things. I would not ever submit to a drill sergeant and the regimented ranks of that kind of life. So officially belonging to the Proud Boys and falling into the ranks as an initiate wasn’t going to work for me. And that’s what they were all about. Yet I learned through that process that they were very concerned about FBI infiltration, which is why they did have a vetting process, which was obviously very much a concern. I went through all this before the Ray Epps situation on January 6th. So they were fully aware that the government was trying to join their ranks with spies to manipulate everything behind the scenes. That’s when I knew the Proud Boy thing would not work for me, and I stepped away from the application process. There was too much trouble with officially joining anything; it was wasting my time, which I’m never in favor of. 

The best way to fight the SWAMP and its creatures is with unstructured volunteers, something a structured enemy cannot join and manipulate in a structured way. And that is what was attacked by the Oath Keepers, the ability to create a structured resistance to the evil intentions of a government that no longer reports to the people it is supposed to represent. Structured attacks are something they understand and control through processes. Unstructured attacks are where they are most vulnerable, and that’s why they hate President Trump so much because he is so unstructured. That lack of structure is actually where I am happiest, so I know how to handle things from that perspective. I thought that by joining the Proud Boys as a 50-something might send a message to the FBI to get on the right side of history. And that maybe it might avert a fight in the streets. But what became obvious was that it was too late for that. This is why there are prosecutions now where the book is being thrown at these Oath Keepers, J6s protesters, and Proud Boys who have suffered dramatically since those days of my application process. The bad guys control the structure of political society, so you never want to attack them where they are strongest. You want to attack where they are weakest, always. And in this case, it’s in their desire to rig the system in their favor and defend the ground they control, Washington D.C., the coastal media, and the courts. I met many well-intentioned people while I was joining the Proud Boys. But their vulnerability was in the structure as the FBI set up and controlled it. Instead of planning to defeat the globalists forces behind Antifa, most of the conversations were about trying to root out spies from the government sent to infiltrate their ranks and rot the whole effort from the inside. And that was only possible by controlling the structure itself. That wasn’t how America would be defended from these hostile forces. If you play that game, then the system is rigged to defend the SWAMP from scrutiny. And that’s precisely what has happened to the Oath Keepers. Their only hope is that President Trump will be re-elected and can give them a pardon, which is the plan. But before that can happen, the structure that the government uses to protect itself has to be eliminated. And that will not happen by attacking where they are well prepared. They must be hit where they aren’t, which is why I’m not a member of the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, or any organized group. And never will be.
