The Elon Musk Pronouns: Yes, “prosecute Fauci” is the most viable next step in regards to the Covid bioweapon

Of course, Elon Musk was right when he said on Twitter that his pronoun was “prosecute Fauci.” That statement has received much attention since the world’s richest man said it, and it’s a consistent theme I have been stating from the beginning. Covid was a bioweapon attack by competing world governments that was facilitated domestically by sympathetic agencies who clearly committed treason and sedition in the process of unleashing it upon the world, which killed lots of people and destroyed economies. At the very least, Dr. Fauci lied to Congress about his role in gain of function and his email strings of who knew what about the man-made virus and what his role was in it. That by itself would be enough for prosecution. But by this point, the evidence is abundant that Covid was a malicious and purposeful attack and Anthony Fauci, a top-level government employee, purposely kept medicine away from the sick with hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin, which could have helped people get over Covid, and stop spreading the virus. Instead, what Fauci recommended, and what the CDC followed was the most destructive path possible for the Covid 19 virus that was made in China under the supervision of Dr. Fauci and those he controlled through finance, and the ultimate sugar daddy in the whole escapade, Fauci’s partner Bill Gates. Their many crimes were outlined in the very good book by Robert Kennedy, The Real Anthony Fauci, published in 2021. Just about every page of that book is yet another indictment on Anthony Fauci. Of course, the lawyers on the government side have been threatening Kennedy about the book’s contents, which include the complicity of the Department of Defense as some of the guilty parties. They would love to sue Kennedy for his tell-all book about the prosecutorial details of what was revealed about what Dr. Fauci did wrong and to what extent. But they can’t. Courts have a funny way of revealing the truth, and when the perpetrators know that they are guilty, they certainly can’t go to court and admit to it through cross-examination. 

And there is a sequel coming out to that book by Kennedy at the start of 2023 called The Wuhan Cover-up. The first book sold millions of copies and was exceptionally well-researched and written in the language that lawyers can use for prosecution. I thought the first book was plenty, but this second book has taken Kennedy a while. He has pushed back the release date a few times to get everything right, and when it comes out, Dr. Fauci will be happy to have been retired and out of the public eye. It won’t stop the court proceedings. For the rest of his life, Dr. Fauci will answer questions in court. At 80 years old, he likely will die before he is officially prosecuted for what he has done. And, of course, he is denying everything like all these government workers do who have no accountability to the public, as they have been trained to expect. But the truth has been coming out for a while, and long after Dr. Fauci is gone, for decades, people are still going to be putting their minds around what happened with the Covid virus and just how sinister it all was. How many of the government’s actions on it destroyed people’s lives, then the cover-up after that? Kennedy has really earned my respect, as a Democrat, with his work on this issue. Other books have told the true story of what Covid was and who knew what and when. But the Kennedy books are the dreams of prosecutors because they lay out the cases as they can stand in court, and Dr. Fauci knows it. That’s why he’s retiring. 

I remember the day that Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates personally advised President Trump on the lockdowns in America. It was an election year. China wanted to hit Trump hard for the trade deficit talks. And the established world of politics wanted Trump gone. Trump was wondering what to do, and here come these trusted people, Fauci and Gates, who proposed severe lockdowns to deal with Covid. Trump did what they didn’t want: to shut down flights from China to stop the spread. But it was already too late. At that time, I was in an airport in Orlando, Florida, in a room full of thousands of people waiting for delayed flights and trying to find somewhere open and safe for an oversea call on business. The Covid story was breaking, and it at that time looked like the work of a bioweapon during an election year, and I was looking at the weapons of that political war all around me. People from all over the world who flew in to go to Disney World and give innocent people Covid to carry back to their communities to infect other people and spread this virus to conduct the kind of war Fauci knew he was playing from the beginning. So yes, he was guilty, and he knows he’s guilty. The receipts say so, which is why Dr. Fauci has not been able to bring a lawsuit forth to shut Robert Kennedy up from writing these tell-all books. 

What’s interesting about Elon Musk buying Twitter and now revealing all the documents that were behind Covid is which American intelligence agencies were aware of what was going on, and they weren’t making moves to save us; they were looking to perpetuate the virus to escalate the danger and use that danger to gain control of the population politically. In Kennedy’s new book, it states that US Health Officials, like Dr. Fauci, conspired with the Chinese military to hide the origins of Covid-19. And like the first book, the new book will be filled with prosecutable proof. But worse than all that is what we learned about Twitter and its role with these same intelligence agencies, which have now been caught in the big election frauds of 2020 and 2022. The way that Twitter censored information about Covid that might cause people to ask the obvious questions was detrimental to people’s protections under the Constitution and how free speech keeps bad characters in check. Knowing what we do now about Twitter’s relationship with the Deep State, we can now see that other players, like Facebook and Google, were equally involved in the crimes as our government, represented most obviously by Dr. Fauci, threw gas on the fire, on purpose to contribute to the destruction of America as a country. Dr. Fauci is not a hero like the liberal media would like to pretend. He is the face of a government that lied to people and threatened them with any means possible to shut them up and intimidate them into suppression.

Meanwhile, people died, and their lives were ruined to facilitate that Great Reset that Klaus Schwab and the Desecrators of Davos purposely planned across the world to destroy sovereign economies in favor of a new universal currency which they controlled through the China Model. Covid was a military attack, and Dr. Fauci was one of the field generals and was well aware of what he was doing. If he could get justice in court, he would have. But he can’t, which Elon Musk knows now that he has purchased Twitter and turned it from a government propaganda asset to an actual utilizer of free speech, which is what it should have always been. But now, unlike the past months from the start of Covid until the present, we know the crimes and who perpetrated them. And what Musk said about Fauci was true, and then some. There is plenty of punishment to go around, but in this case, it starts with Anthony Fauci and those he supervised.   Then extends to much worse characters from there.

Why I Support S.B. 178: Education needs reform, and the Department of Education is in the way

To answer the reasons I support the Ohio Senate Bill 178, the logic of supporting bigger government to get to smaller government has to be understood. What S.B. 178 proposed by the Ohio Senate will do is essentially remove many of the current Ohio Department of Education Board’s existing powers and put them in the hands of a new director-level cabinet position appointed directly by the governor. The point of the matter is that the current Ohio Board of Education is a worthless body of government that spends most of its time debating diversity and transexual issues and does not have a track record in providing proper education to the future kids of Ohio. And there is no prospect of solving that problem soon, or ever. By design, the Board of Education is a flawed concept that should never have been implemented in 1953. In my view, all the Departments of Education, from the state to the federal level, should be eradicated. Education needs leadership to reflect performance, and the most obvious way to do that is to attach the responsibility directly to governors, who are then better controlled by state legislatures. I see this Bill as a step toward removing power from bureaucratic Boards of Education and replacing them with leadership opportunities. What the Senate in Ohio wants to do is a great thing. I know some of the people involved and understand their intent. Granted, the path to Hell is paved with good intentions, and to many critics, this S.B. 178 can look like just another path to get to Hell. But I would say that public education is already in Hell, and at this point, any path made can only take it out or fail altogether. But an attempt at reform is better than not trying at all. And suppose Ohio is prosperous in this endeavor. In that case, it could pave the way for real education reform and the complete removal of all Departments of Education and replace it with more leadership-directed accountability. 

As many are aware, I am weary of giving the governor of Ohio any more power. The Director position of Health run by Amy Acton directly for Governor DeWine was an unmitigated disaster during the Covid nonsense. So putting that same level of attention into the field of education might look insane. But the way these Department of Education Boards run is far worse. Even during Covid, if I needed to get a hold of someone in the governor’s office, I could. I made my voice known and knew what doors to knock on. And that’s what I’m looking for with this S.B. 178 Bill; I want accountability and a door that I can knock on and get results. I don’t expect the door knocks to be friendly, actually quite contentious. A dispute-free world is not what I think S.B. 178 will do. But with the current Department of Education in Ohio, we have zero accountability. If you talk to one person, they will blame someone else. And when you speak to someone else, they will blame the original person you were talking to. Dealing with the Ohio Department of Education is an insane level of progressive nonsense in which I see no value. It certainly doesn’t help children; it has taken education and made an advanced mess of it. And there are so many problems with education; with the way the teacher unions ultimately control the Departments of Education all over the country, there is no desire for reform from their point of view because they have things set up the way they want them. 

I see S.B. 178 as an opportunity to give a strong governor a chance to make significant reforms in education. I wouldn’t say that Mike DeWine is a strong governor, but the example provided by Ohio could give great governors like DeSantis in Florida, or Noem in South Dakota, and other strong states a blueprint that would eventually pave the way for a new way of dealing with education needs in each state, and provide a competitive atmosphere that is desperately needed. For anything to improve in education, competition and high expectations have to be a priority, as the ability to survive the radical labor elements which will be against anything, and everything must be part of the plan. I come from a business background and understand that good leadership does not come from group consensus building. It comes from solitary leadership that is accountable for success and failure. Otherwise, failure, such as what we have seen in my home district of Lakota, will be absorbed into a culture of complacency. I have tried to reform the group consensus model in my home district by helping to get conservatives elected to the school board there, but the results have been that no matter what is done, the system itself protects itself from any reform, and failure is guaranteed from the outset. Nothing can save Boards of Education anywhere because they are designed to fail by the premise of their existence. I have been saying for a long time that the concept of public education has to be scrapped completely. But many aren’t ready for that conversation. So scrapping the way that decisions are made for education would be an obvious next best step. Many of the names who have spoken out for S.B. 178, which I have put here for the convenience of understanding, I like and think are sincere in their efforts.   I also am very supportive of the several names who have sponsored the 2000-page Bill, which at this point, I have read. It took me a while, there is a lot there, but the gist of it is an opportunity to replace a Department of Education with a door I can knock on and get results. And I’m all for that.

So for the small government critic who says that this S.B. 178 is just another big government solution that takes away voting accountability from the Department of Education, I would say that for many people, the reality is that most people don’t just jump into a swimming pool. They will dip their toes in the water and get in ever so slowly, getting mad at those who do jump in and splash them with water. S.B. 178 is like a handrail that those types of people can hang on to while they ease themselves into the water, the water being education reform. I would like to jump in and pull the plug draining the whole thing at once. Then, fill the pool with fresh water in which everyone hasn’t used the restroom in. Because from my point of view, there is no way to clear that water now that years of corruption and progressive intention have dirtied it up to the point of no return. But to pull the plug, you have to get in the water, and S.B. 178 provides those who still believe in a government solution to education something to hang on to. In this case, leadership is directly attached to the state governor.  Ohio looks to have opportunities beyond the next four years of DeWine to have strong, conservative governors, so I think there are better opportunities for S.B. 178, knowing some of these legislators personally, to have success than in just continuing to do what we have now, which is just a liberal extension of the Biden administration and their further destruction of children’s minds. I think we need action faster than later and more profound and bold rather than timid and safe because the clock is ticking. And at this point, I am willing to give a bold option a chance, not for the adults who are thriving off a corrupt system, but for the kids who need real leadership and an opportunity for a better tomorrow.

The FTX Scam Shows Just How Fake Democrat Influence Really Is: We aren’t talking about financial investments but an invasion of our country

You have to understand that the purposeful mismanagement of something is part of the enemy’s strategy advocating for the collapse of America. I mean, Jerome Powell and Janet Yellon running the Federal Reserve, the denials that we were in a recession just to hope that politically Democrats might lose fewer seats in the Midterms. Just like the southern border in America, what we have seen with the Fed has been purposeful mismanagement of the money supply so that companies like BlackRock could purchase up a majority of company stock and convert their board of directors over to ESG standards and other woke policies set by the enemy of America, The Desecrators of Davos, led by Klaus Schwab and his gang of thieves at the World Economic Forum, Bill Gates and George Soros included. That is why I have told people who have asked me about cryptocurrency to stay away from it. The rebellion to move money from stable investments over into crypto has been part of the scheme. Of course, the rebellion is part of the desecration strategy to convince people that their government’s management of their money supply is corrupt so that they would then invest in losers like this Sam Bankman-Fried kid. The media sold him as the next Mark Zuckerberg, only not in data collection but in crypto investments through FTX. Now, just after the elections of 2022, FTX has filed bankruptcy, and the kid is hiding in the Bahamas, hoping that everything will cool down in a few years because he has done his job, which is to trick people into giving him real money in exchange for cryptocurrency, and then the real money that was given to him was then spent on Democrat political candidates, to either keep them in power or expand their influence so that a Liberal World Order could then be implemented in the vacuums of power. Its almost the same trick that Larry Fink has used with Jerome Powell at the Federal Reserve, government-sponsored quantitative easing to prop up fake value allowing BlackRock, StateStreet, and Vanguard to buy up the boards of many companies to turn them into chessboard assets for the Desecrators of Davos. 

I’ve never been a cryptocurrency fan because it is a rebellion vote for a stabilized currency. People who want to prepare for the eventual collapse of a government want to have some stable hedge against the complete collapse of our economy in America. And my advice is to fight it out with your government and force them to have a stable government and manage it properly rather than waste your efforts on these loser kids like Sam Bankman-Fried. The media knowingly lied to investors to prop up these alternative currencies for just this purpose. And once the scam was understood, they played their part in covering up the story. Without a doubt, Sam Bankman-Fried and his partners knew what they were doing. Still, in this obviously purposeful destruction of our world, his advisors undoubtedly explained that all the courts would soon be destroyed in America. There wouldn’t be anybody to prosecute him, just as we see in most industries in the United States through rules and regulations that are meant to cripple companies with the cost of compliance. FTX gave $37 million to Democrats during the last election cycle and has pledged to provide as much as a billion dollars to Democrats if President Trump returns to the scene, which of course, he is. They have been the second largest donors to Democrats, just behind George Soros. We know what his intentions have been, the complete Cloward-Piven collapse of the American economy with open borders and the liberalization of our laws to our own demise. These are military strategies, not investments. And what ends up happening with cryptocurrency is just another big money laundering operation working beyond the reach of the government to convert good money into weapons of war, leaving no value behind to the investor by fake numbers on a balance sheet.

However, it’s not all gloom and doom. And this is what I tell everyone when they look at these things and wonder how we will survive everything. I tell them, look at Democrats and their friends in the World Economic Forum, with all their election fraud tricks and their obvious money laundering operations in cryptocurrency and Ukraine; they know they don’t have real power, so they have to cheat and make things up to look like they are relevant to the powers of the world. And the way to beat them is to enforce value upon their lives which they obviously won’t be able to live up to. It’s not that they have any real power, all they have are tricks, and once people realize what those tricks are, they are no longer considered legitimate. Even if they wanted to throw a billion dollars at President Trump, like everyone will attempt to do, it assumes that money can actually buy elections, and they can’t. While we have been looking at that rabbit coming out of the hat, Democrats have gained power through election fraud and the various digital machines they have used to rig elections. And when those were watched too closely, they did what they got caught in Arizona doing this last time, slow walking performance to wear down the people watching so they could give fake votes over to their pick for whatever political position was being contested. But it’s all about scams for Democrats. They can’t win a straight fight; they have to cheat, just as was the obvious strategy of FTX.

Of course, the world is reeling from this FTX news, especially in Dubai, where cryptocurrency has been a growing trend. People who don’t want to invest their money backed by a government have been running to crypto. But really, the purpose of a country is to have a stable currency; why else would there be a need for a country? So it should not be a shock that organizations behind the open border movement are the same ones pushing cryptocurrency. Once people stop looking to a government for a controlled standard and accept crypto as an alternative, then all the plans that the World Economic Forum has for a one-world currency, a one-world order, and a takeover of all forms of government will then run with the Chinese model of a centralized bank complete with social credit scores will then be possible. But none of this is natural; it has all been an attack all along from international bandits who have been looking to loot our country from under us, buy up our politicians like Mitch McConnell and Joe Biden with fake money created in the process and own them at the policy level to launder value toward their globalist goals. Without their tricks and their acts of malice, Democrats would be nothing and would have no power. Like cryptocurrency, their entire value is in the perception of reality. Not in reality itself. Their existence in the political and financial worlds is a trick, a ruse. Without mass manipulation of people’s goodwill, Democrats would have nothing. And because people have not been looking at the war against the American monetary policies in the aggressive ways they should have, it has been working for Democrats. But when companies like FTX fall apart, then and only then do people see the house of cards that their mechanisms of power always were.

The New Costco in Liberty Township, Ohio: Small government and guns make communities great

For around two years, I had been looking for a PlayStation 5. Unfortunately for PlayStation, the company released its newest video game console during Covid. Who would have ever thought that the economy of the world would shut down entirely when planning for such a new release? In many places in the world, supply chains have not returned to normal due to massive government interference and their stupid support of Klaus Schwab’s Great Reset. That has been particularly true of computer chips, which make the new PlayStation 5 so powerful. So it’s been very difficult to get a new PlayStation 5. Our family has continued playing our old PlayStation 4 over that duration like many people have had to. But I’ve been on the lookout for one for several years and have not been able to find one. There are usually long waiting lists you have to get on to have a chance to buy one. Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and all the usual places have been unable to keep them when they do come in, and what they get has usually been a very limited supply. So I was quite shocked when I went to the new Costco in Liberty Township to meet my family on the opening day of November 2022 and saw at the entrance a pallet of PlayStation 5s stacked high for people to grab as they came into the new and wonderful store. I arrived before my family did, and it took me less than a fraction of a second to see the obvious. I grabbed one as people were plucking them from the stack as quickly as they came in, and we bought it that day and have enjoyed it profusely. 

Yes, I’m a fan of Costco, even though they are not exactly conservatives. They are known Obama supporters, but they provide excellent service, so I haven’t held that against them. Costco does a lot of great things, and I have been a frequent visitor to the one in Tri-County, Ohio, for many years. When I found out that they were going to build a new Costco in Liberty Township, Ohio, I was very happy because I feel like a lot of people do about Tri-County, Ohio, located between the cities of Sharonville and Springdale, that big government has destroyed the former economic boom town and left it a husk of desperate value. I used to think of Tri-County as one of the greatest economic centers in the United States. I worked there several times in my life, so I know the area’s character well; it’s been a part of my life most of my life. So I’ve seen it in better days. But over the last 10 to 20 years, the progressive policies that came from big government woke policies have left the reputation to be one of crime. To describe it simply in one word, when I think of Tri-County, I think of MTV. The youth have been allowed to run wild and take over the character of the area, and wherever youth go, like mindless locusts, they destroy everything in their path. Older people don’t want to deal with a bunch of slack-jawed kids dressed inappropriately and constantly catcalling women while trying to shop and spend time with their families. But kids don’t have money, but moms who run families do, and those types of moms made Tri-County great. 

That is why Costco built a store in Liberty Township, which is everything that Tri-County isn’t, very conservative and safe, and people who live there have money and care about things. It’s not to say that Liberty Township couldn’t become like Tri-County at some point, but the differences couldn’t be more obvious. In Butler County, Ohio, where Liberty Township is, there are over 400,000 residents, most of whom have guns. They either have guns in the home or carry them, and crime is not tolerated the way it has been 6 miles to the south in Tri-County and Sharonville. So it shouldn’t be a surprise to see Costco realizing that their Tri-County store was being held back because people just didn’t want to be in an area known for crime to shop at their store. So they built a new one, and people were hungry for it. For the first few weeks, there has been a line to get into the store, and people have been flocking to it just to buy goods and services and enjoy the Costco experience. And this new Costco has had everything, a lot more than the Tri-County store had, like PlayStation 5s. As I bought our new PlayStation in the long lines that went to the back of the store, I realized that if the Tri-County store did try to carry the type of items that the new Liberty Township store did, that theft would be the likely result. In Tri-County, with their progressive governments and their big-city attitudes, crime is much more permitted. In Liberty Township, crime isn’t permitted at all. And there are a lot of guns carried by good people who won’t hesitate to use those guns to defend property and persons, which was always the point of the 2nd Amendment. 

This is precisely why many of us in the Butler County area have fought the temptation to allow West Chester and Liberty Township to become a city like their neighbors in Sharonville, Springdale, and Forest Park. Bad government happens when it gets too big, and once there are city councils and mayors involved, woke politics starts to attach itself to the decision-making process, and things get out of control. So we have fought for small government in Butler County, and the results are obvious. Butler County communities run much better than communities within the I-275 loop that have fallen for the big government temptation. I could tell stories about my experiences in Mason, where they have a city too, but over time they have had to become much more nibble on their feet to adapt to the pressure exerted by Sycamore Township to their south and Liberty Township to their west. The struggle to keep the government small is hard, but it’s obvious where they manage because when the government is small, there is less bureaucratic nonsense, allowing companies to invest without all the additional trouble. And when you go to the new Costco in LIbety Township and see the lines from people hungry to get in, you can see the obvious quickly. I happened to listen to a few older men standing outside the new Costco, bewildered as to why people were going so crazy over this new store, even days later after it initially opened. And the answer was that a lot of these shoppers were simply sitting at home waiting for something to open near them because they didn’t want to go into Tri-County to deal with the mess there, all the kids with their pants walking around half down, the nasty language, the cars with rap music pouring through closed windows but being so loud that it vibrates the fillings out of people’s teeth. When there is too much government and too much progressive policy, it ruins communities. When there is less, it makes communities better because the kind of people who shop and start businesses can then have a relationship without the government messing it up. And guns help a lot. Where there are lots of guns by private hands, there is much less crime. Where there are less guns, there is a lot more bad behavior.   And put simply, that is why the new Costco at Liberty Township is so much better and why communities like Tri-County, Ohio, are failing.

Why People Are So Angry at Lakota Schools: The attempt to edit public comment over a fight they started by trying to force Darbi Boddy to resign

I offered Matt Miller, the much-talked-about superintendent of Lakota schools, a way to fix everything. Through his lawyer, I offered some friendly advice which it was obvious that he chose to ignore by the way the Lakota school board meeting on November 21st, 2022, went. I told him that many of the problems he finds himself in could be solved by restoring his relationship with Darbi Boddy. After all, he and his conspirators started all the anger. I know Darbi Boddy; she wanted to join the school board and work well with everyone there. But liberalism doesn’t work, and when she joined, there was still goofy talk of mask mandates and other Covid nonsense that came straight out of the crooked Biden administration, and people in my community were sick of it. And when Matt Miller went after her to push her into resignation, he opened up a whole can of worms, and he greatly angered the community, as did the rest of the school board who stood behind the effort. If that same school board is upset that all they have been able to do at meetings for much of 2022 is talk about community anger, they can only blame themselves. They brought all the politics into the matter and tried to destroy our newly elected school board member. Darbi is a fighter, and she wasn’t going to take that. Nobody should have expected her to. All this happened before anybody knew much of anything about the Lakota superintendent’s personal life. Once people realized what kind of guy he was, for the conservatives in the Lakota district, that was a final straw. But it all started with Matt Miller picking a fight with Darbi Boddy, then several other community members with what can only be called, “witness intimidation” which absolutely won’t be stood for, it could only be solved if he reached out and tried to work with her in some productive way at this point. Instead, he dug in even more, which was ultimately the wrong move. I tried to tell him. 

Over the previous weekend, I had been involved in a Twitter discussion with Sheree Paolello, the news anchor at Channel 5. The topic was over why the media wouldn’t cover the Matt Miller story at Lakota with the assumption that they had a moral obligation to protect children from indications that showed parents they should worry about it in the district. Sheree surprisingly defended her station. She answered that the police chose not to prosecute, so there was nothing illegal to pursue. The Lakota school board took no action to penalize the superintendent. And the media ultimately bought the school board’s report without question, even though a lot of information indicated otherwise. And there was so much anger from community members because all their safety nets had let them down.

For many people, the anger was that all these institutionalized systems had no interest in protecting the kids from the strange lifestyles of the Lakota administrators, but their complete concern was in protecting the institution itself from the judgment of the community. This is a strange case for me because I literally know everyone involved. I’ve met Sheree several times over the years, and I certainly know the reporter she referred to, Karin Johnson, who covered the Lakota story. I have a pretty good understanding of why everyone took the positions they did regarding Lakota schools.   It’s all about damage control and what they perceive that damage to be. For them, the school and its reputation are more significant than the individual kids and their families who attend the school. But the school itself, and institutionalism in general, is very progressive and ultimately anti-family, and that is the biggest takeaway from this ordeal. The parents want to believe that the school has the best interests of their children when they send them to school. But the school is essentially a liberal playground for progressive politics, and the kids serve as a shield against the bad behavior of the adults. And to Sheree’s point, none of that is illegal. It may be wrong, but it wasn’t a news story because it wasn’t illegal, as determined by a police representative who has a reputation for abusing the law for personal power reasons—for instance, the case of Roger Reynolds, which is happening in that same school district presently.

I remember the good ol’ days when if a public official, like a school superintendent, is, had an affair and got caught in a divorce, that it would have been enough to cause a scandal. This separation of personal behavior from professional roles is a new thing within the last decade. Most people in the Lakota district never accepted it and haven’t had much experience dealing with it. So they naturally assume that bad behavior would equal a bad report card professionally and that everyone would take it seriously.   But that’s not the kind of liberalism that is taught in all public schools these days. Progressive politics is all about a job as a right and mandatory pay without regard to performance. In the eyes of the typical liberal, they believe they should be able to do anything in their personal lives and still be looked at professionally by the title over their door, not the individual behavior they conduct. This is the source of much trouble across the nation right now at just about every level of government occupation, and it’s a value system that just isn’t going to work. This trouble started in the 90s when Bill Clinton tried to tell the nation he could still be president even though he had an affair with an intern. After all, it was just sex. He could still be president, right? And when progressive activists started protesting the removal of the Ten Commandments from courtrooms. The problem is, if you remove the Bible from society’s values, then no law and order have any meaning, leaving it to lawyers to define the words on paper, not the value behind them. And that’s how we get to the mess we are in now.

Most of the people who are outraged at the Lakota story of protecting their superintendent from the obvious bad behavior he created for himself are those who still look to the Bible for their fundamental value behind the rule of law. Suppose there isn’t a foundation of essential value. In that case, you can’t have a society, which is just another aspect of failed progressive philosophies taught in public schools to the detriment of the children involved, which is a major problem in our modern times. And those people expect that the people they are dealing with, the police, the media, and the school board itself, are functioning from basic understandings of value, and what reality presented to them is a point of view where values weren’t even a consideration. Instead, they get interpretations of the law that is not rooted in any Biblical frame of reference, so if the words aren’t explicitly written down to say something is bad or criminal, then even an average lawyer feels they can relieve a client of guilt under such circumstances, even if they know them to be extremely guilty by all other social measures. And so it goes and will continue. School board meetings will continue to be dysfunctional because the community has a much higher standard than what the institution of Lakota, the police, or the media are willing to represent. They accepted these new progressive values for social discourse, and that is not where the community is or will ever be. The core of our nation is the decision to move away from a Biblical foundation for value systems behind law and order. We all know progressives want to destroy that concept, but people are not ever going to accept that, just like they were never going to accept progressive mask mandates over a government-created crisis which Covid turned out to be. So, we have the clash that we are seeing in Lakota and other school districts across the nation. And that fissure is very real. It won’t be fixed by ignoring the problem or hiring a public relations firm to clean it up. People have standards, and they will apply them to the world around them, and they have been let down by the characters involved in this Lakota story, and they are furious because of it.

Microsoft Was Never Our Friend: They don’t respect our time, our productivity, or our American sovereignty

I always liked the Paper Clip guy from early versions of Microsoft Windows. He might have been irritating, but he always came across as trying to be helpful, respectful of your time, and assuming that what you needed to do on the computer you were using was valuable. That sentiment has changed over time. Microsoft is well-known as a member of the Desecrators of Davos attempt to overthrow the world. Their obvious role in the scheme is to dumb people down with nonsense and steer society globally where the Klaus Schwab types want them to go. The Microsoft of the 1990s is long gone and what has been given to us in its wake is a significant intrusion of progressive intent to change the world as we know it. Microsoft thinks it can do it because they are essentially a monopoly that touches just about every computer in the world, other than Apple, which is just as bad.

I used to love Microsoft; I was a big fan of Word, of course. But I loved Excel, Project, PowerPoint, and everything Microsoft made. I was a fan of it all. But I entered the computer age at the ground level and watched this company evolve. And that also gives me the liberty to discuss how much it has changed from its original intentions. The Microsoft of today does not respect its users. They provide constant updates whenever they decide to; they don’t care what you are working on and have no value for it. They do what they want; they speak to you through messages as if they are a parent telling you to brush your teeth before going to bed and have lost their understanding of the original company mission in the beginning. Their goal now is globalism and steering mankind into the slaughterhouse of globalism, and they intend to use their software as the bait that drags everyone to that gloomy destination.

It’s out now, Bill Gates, when he stepped away from being the boss of Microsoft just as lockdowns were happening all across America in the spring of 2020, during a big election year where a virus that was planned at Event 201, sponsored by Bill Gates himself, was released. Gates wanted to protect Microsoft from his role in the virus and designed to work on the “climate change” initiative hoping that Microsoft would be shielded from public opinion as they learned what role Gates had in managing the virus in society and what the governments of the world would do about it. But Microsoft was just another front on the culture wars attack. I had been noticing that their edit software was already attacking strong usages of pronouns and other kinds of terminology that might be considered “too aggressive” as a means to control information flow and the quality of it as determined by the Desecrators of Davos, which Bill Gates is undoubtedly one of the founding members. Microsoft was no longer concerned about the quality of the individual users’ time; they were now concerned about controlling what the particular user did and what they thought while they were interfacing with their products. The footprints of global corporatism were unleashed, and people were so in love with the Microsoft product that they didn’t notice how sinister some of the changes truly were until it was too late. Microsoft went from being a helpful friend to essentially becoming the software of the terminators from one of Jim Cameron’s science fiction doomsday films. Only they weren’t intended to kill the user, only to make them suitable, compliant soldiers of the administrative state. The lure was to get people addicted to easy pornography, and a big brother was watching the users through the software all hours of the day, anywhere in the world that they might be. 

It was a baffling experience to see how Microsoft was pushing its Teams meeting system just as the governments of the world, all looking for Bill Gates donations, thought that the way to deal with the Covid virus, a virus created in a Chinese lab by Bill Gates’ friend, Dr. Fauci, and both of them worked hard to keep medicine away from those who caught it so they could push all these new social controls like social distancing. The wearing of useless masks to fight the virus was to work from home and use Microsoft Teams to communicate instead of actually going to the office. And the media followed that assumption with talk about a New Normal, coming straight off the pages of Claus Schwab’s latest book, titled The Great Reset. From the point of view of Bill Gates, who wants a zero-emission world to save the planet from some bizarre climate change religion that takes all mankind back essentially to The Law of One, the sun worship of pagan deities from an archaic past, keeping people off the roads and at home would save the planet from those pesky humans and their gas-guzzling cars. So Microsoft Teams was there to allow people to do business in their underwear which essentially shut the world down productively for more than a year and crippled the world’s economy. The Microsoft solution was to attempt to control the messaging through their various software updates, keep the public steered toward globalism, and discourage information that might say otherwise. 

But the footprints of globalism were there from the beginning. It’s just that while the market was taking off, Microsoft needed the customers to get addicted to their product like a drug dealer might give away free samples to get people addicted to the high. In its early versions before Windows 95, Microsoft wanted to appear helpful, productive, and respectful of its users. But after Windows 95, and the complaints about the product showed this trend, people saw that Microsoft was less interested in the user market and much more interested in making the users slaves to their system since, by then, most of the world was using a version of Windows to interact with computers in whatever way they were using them. The goal from the beginning was to gain control of the time the users spent on a computer and to get them to want to do more of it. Even when reality threw obvious problems their way, they simply ignored the information and proceeded on anyway, just as they did with the concept of Teams meetings replacing real human interaction in an office space. Microsoft’s stupidity in understanding the basic nature of productivity went straight to the door of Bill Gates, who never wanted to help society live better lives with a superior product. His goal was to use the information to control productivity and to dumb down the users to the point where they wouldn’t even see what was happening to them along the way. The Paper Clip guy was an illusion all along. Microsoft never intended actually to be helpful but to bait mankind into following them into mass control from global forces. That long-hatched plan culminated when Bill Gates resigned from Microsoft upon unleashing Covid from China. Microsoft went on to do its work as built by its founder, while Bill Gates went into full Desecrators of Davos mode and joined the others who were openly looking to take over the world. Microsoft was never our friend; it was only an enemy from within from the very beginning, and it is obvious that they don’t respect our time.   They only want our minds to do what they want with them to serve interests that are not American.

Microsoft’s Role in Slowing Down Election Results: Using incompetency to hide malicious intent

I knew what they were up to before the sun came up on election day; Microsoft sent me, on one of their multiple pop-up windows, a message indicating that elections take time and that likely we wouldn’t know the votes totals by the end of the day.  The message warned me to “be patient.” So we are seeing the “operation slow walk” in some of these election races, where results are coming at us in a trickle rather than knowing results on election night as we have for all of our lives.  This strategy is part of the Desecrators of Davos influence over corporations who are in their World Economic Forum to take control of the world’s governments through bureaucratic procedures and changed expectations about efficiency.  And Microsoft is one of their biggest corporations, committed to implementing Klaus Schwab’s Great Reset by the target date of 2030.  Part of the strategy in doing that is to dumb down the world’s populations so that it is easier to fool them and lower their expectations, especially in capital markets, as to what can be productively accomplished.  The reason for that is an obvious Marxist model they are following where exceptional results need to be evened out with lackluster effort so that a new normal can be utilized as a part of that Great Reset which is easy for an Administrative State to manage as a central government from the perspective of the United Nations, which most of the world’s billionaires are betting their money on, will be the bank they can rely on for the future.  A stable government where crazy populist trends won’t affect their investment.  An empowered China to help enforce that global stability through a communist government run essentially by one central person.  And Microsoft’s job in the whole business is that they are connected to everyone in the world through some means or another and can therefore send messages directly to them instructing them how to think, how to behave, and what to expect. 

Of course, the goal of the slow walk of the election day results, which was a pre-planned event by the minds behind Microsoft, just as the release of the Covid virus was, and for many of the same reasons, was to tame the effect of the Red Wave that has been building in America for quite a number of years.  Populism and Republican forms of government are Holy Water to the intentions of the Desecrators of Davos globalists, so anywhere they can, they mean to slow things down and lower the expectations that people in America have about their time and what can be done in it.  You might have noticed that the emphasis on drive-thru windows at fast food restaurants has changed from very fast to much more mediocre.  The only one that still lives up to American expectations is Chick-fil-A, which commits to fast and high-quality service.  But the rest of them have turned to dumbing down all their operations to essentially lower those expectations to the goals set for globalist control of corporate environments, making it much easier to instill the Great Reset for which Microsoft is one of the biggest cheerleaders.  Microsoft used to be committed to the computer world, making things faster and easier for people to be more productive.  But the company has changed a lot since the 1990s and is much more interested in directing people’s behavior in subtle ways, whether it is to push the stay-at-home office worker holding meetings through Teams or editing the use of words in their spell check.  How could Microsoft know before the American election that it would take time to count all the votes?  Because they were part of the plan to slow walk the results to minimize the effects of the Red Wave.  And control the media narrative on the populist movement in America into something that wouldn’t give people in other countries any big ideas. 

By the time it’s all said and done, the Red Wave will be quite a statement.  Of course, built into slowing things down is the hope that all the poll watchers will let down their guard and allow vote counters a chance to inject a bunch of mail-in drop-off ballots that will mix with good ballots and tip the scales in favor of Democrats, who are the representative political party in America for the Desecrators of Davos.  By the time all the votes are counted, people will be thinking about Christmas shopping and will have moved on.  The media, which is just as in on the scheme as Microsoft is, will have contained the populist narrative of the 2022 election, and they hope that people will wear away their enthusiasm.   And that’s not hard to do, to get the corporations to back some globalist scheme as they are.  The CEOs all want to be at the cool kid’s table, and the current definition of cool kids is what the Desecrators of Davos have established in the ski resort town of big league meetings.  And, of course, they hire liberal people to run their companies, whether they are mass media or a company like Microsoft that touches everyone in the world through some means.  And employees typically do whatever is asked of them based on the corporate rules that are set.  Whatever they must do for a paycheck is the moral clause defining their actions.  So in that very simple way, a centralized terrorist plot to take over all the world’s economies by controlling the governments that manage them can efficiently be utilized by a few billionaires in a very small club.  And Microsoft was set up by Bill Gates to implement those goals long ago. 

When Microsoft posted their message on election day indicating that counting votes takes time, they were lying.  What they mean to say is that all people should lower their expectations about what is possible, and the use of technology which has been planted in our minds as the cutting edge of efficiency and knowledge, is instructing us that the world needs to slow down instead.  And that we should expect less, not more.  It is the message of the Desecrators of Davos and their Brave New World of slowed-down supply chains, less service-oriented compliance, and much longer lines for everything.  They are pushing for a cashless society so they can be the central bankers of the new monetary system.  They want to control transportation, but to do that, people need to slow down in their lives to the limits of their intentions.  And they want to control speech.  If you use Microsoft Word, for example, you might notice that they continuously give suggestions on speech that would be less offensive to potential readers.  It’s all been a well-thought-out plot to slow down life in America so that a takeover of our way of life can be possible by the hostile characters from the Desecrators of Davos.  And Bill Gates has been a long-standing member, and written in the code of just about everything with a Microsoft logo on it is this malicious enterprise of subverting our American government and replacing it with a much slower, much more corrupt, and more globalist-oriented one.  And they conspired to suppress the election results so that they could control the media narrative of it.  And that act alone should tell you what a danger Microsoft is to us all in ways that many people aren’t ready to accept.

The Sons of the Law of One: A solar panel cult to force all civilizations to appease the sun as the supreme god

Well, of course, we have to talk about the ancient sun-worshipping cult, the Sons of the Law of One, and that it predates many of our current religions and political orders. But it gets scary when bad things come up, such as child pedophilia cases in my hometown of Butler County, Ohio, involving hundreds and thousands of well-known people. And if you don’t have a reference for the vast evil on display, you wouldn’t have an explanation for Masons who go into mysterious chants hoping to put a curse on somebody to destroy them or consider that abortion is the political left’s blood cult to appease the gods of ancient pagan religions. When you look to understand modern politics and the reasons people believe what they believe, you usually find out that there is occult worship behind the thin veil in almost every case, including the deep suspicions that the Clintons were involved in the Jeffery Epstein child sex cult, along with Bill Gates and many celebrities. The recent pictures from Halloween of Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox only feed this curiosity, as well as Katy Perry and her broken eye. We live in a polite society that doesn’t talk about the real issues that cause the effects which drive our politics, and once you learn what does drive those issues, things make a lot more sense. But for them to make sense, you must reach into society’s occult practices to understand their politics. This is why I have been talking about Atlantis a lot more lately because that is a society that predates our written history and is denied by the established order for all the very reasons talked about, to conceal the occult practices that various groups of people participate in, and drive political policy to mysterious items of worship. In this case, the reason the political left is so obsessed with solar panels. 

We know about Atlantis because Plato, a well-known and accepted Greek philosopher, recorded that society in one of his works. And over time, Atlantis looks to have influenced early English mythology, Ireland, the Vikings, all of Europe, and especially Africa creating Egyptian and Sumerian societies from the outset. Atlantis was ancient when those societies were new. But then there are the Indian mythologies and the mythologies of the white-skinned ones with the Aztecs, Mayas, and Incas. And there are thousands of societies that rose and fell in between these historical events and the mythologies that people ended up remembering of them. So there are multiple variations to those old stories that have created many occult beliefs that have been followed with sacrifices to unknown gods, which can almost always be found working their influence in the political policies of our modern day. So also with the various Indian legends, since we are told by modern progressives that the Indians were so wise and that we should listen to them regarding all things, many of them believe that 250,000 years ago, Star People came to earth from the planet Sirius and settled 12 planets, of which earth was only one, and a minor one at that. The wisdom of these Star People made up what we know today in various cultures, especially Atlantis, which we know the first king was Atlas, who invented all that we know about astrology. And when you know what the high-order Masons believe, much of their action is driven by astrology, just as Egypt and many other cultures that we consider advanced. That is also why most of them revere the planet Sirius as substantial to their functional mythologies. For instance, in the Bible, Sirius is considered the Star of Bethlehem. And when we talk about the 12 Tribes of Israel, the 12 Disciples of Jesus, the 12 months of a year, or the 12 constellations of the zodiac, or the Twelve Tables appointed in 451 BC which led to Roman society from its primitive roots, this is where we get the origin beliefs. 

And from ancient Atlantis and the Indian mythology of the Star People from Sirius, who settled the 12 planets, is the concept of the Sons of the Law of One. It’s a sun-worshipping cult that identifies the sun of our earth’s solar system as the life giver and the ultimate god to appease. The Law of One then migrated into many of the cultures we currently recognize, and they all had a reverence for sun worship. Many of the human sacrifices that the Aztecs made were to appease the sun. Many of the myths that formed around the world, as a result, were sun god worship that in the absence of a Christian religion, all of society migrates back to this notion of the Law of One, the one sun, the life giver of everything, and for which we are all dependent. When you see that the political left is upset with space travel, it’s because mankind proposes to leave behind the control of the sun and essentially divorce ourselves from these ancient beliefs with self-fulfilling innovation and technology. But then again, many are using technology as a means to chain mankind to continued worship of the Law of One. We have seen that in the tech companies specifically and their infatuation with pagan gods from the distant past. And we certainly see it in the bizarre push for solar panels.

The only way to understand the insanity of the liberal push to chain mankind to the limited energy available from the sun with solar panels is to understand the ancient ideas of the Sons of the Law of One and the astrology invented by the Atlantean god Atlas and the knowledge he revealed from the Star People from Sirius. The push for all-electric cars and a society that destroys fossil fuels and forces everyone to essentially worship the sun as the primary means of living life is obviously a sacrifice of innovation to force compliance to the sun and its role at the center of our solar system. But when people are looking for logic as to why our political society would do such a dumb thing, they will not find the answer in the logic of scholarly debate or the rule of law in congress. They have to go back to the Sons of the Law of One, to the culture of Atlantis, to the horoscope cultures of the world, including the one you might have looked at today in the Farmer’s Almanac. Once you understand the occult logic behind the political maneuver, you can understand how stupid it really is. We are in an age of science and reason, not a society that must bend itself to the limits of ancient superstitions. We have rational minds who can invent our own means of power. But to those who worship other gods besides the Christian concept of commanding nature and instead yielding to it as all ancient cultures had to, especially Atlantis, then it should never be a surprise to see those cultures fail, just as we will fail if we follow the same dumb laws and appease the spirits of ancient hokey religions. But lazy people, they want an easy way to live life, and appeasing some ancient god or trying to appease the sun is a lot easier than inventing a thorium reactor or bolding blasting into space to create our own origin stories; not one started 250,000 years ago, or millions of years ago. But now, with America driving innovation and creativity to an unknown but exciting tomorrow. The clash essentially comes down to the brave and innovative instead of the lazy and superstitious. And the battle for tomorrow will depend on who wins that many generational wars.

A Review of Alex Jones’ ‘The Great Reset’: What to do after a prom date goes bad

It has been quite an experience, two different books by the same name came out within a year of each other, but the conditions of the world were vastly different between the two. When Glenn Beck’s book called The Great Reset came out in January of 2022, I have come to think of it like that daughter you might have who is preparing to go to prom. Some slack-jawed loser wants to take your little girl out on the town as a prom date, and being a nice compliant subservient to the local school system; we are supposed just to let it happen without protest. The kid shows up in a piece of junk car with stringy hair and slumped shoulders, and you’re supposed to be happy about it. He pins a flower onto her expensive dress while you and your wife record the moment with pictures you are sure she will want to look at for the rest of her life. You shake hands with the dude even though you want to break his neck, stuff him into the refrigerator, and wave to her as she leaves with him on what you know as a parent will lead to doom and regret.   But society tells you that you have no choice in the matter, that she is a girl of the world, and you are the dad, and you must allow this thing to happen. Reading Glenn Beck’s version of The Great Reset is much like this scenario. You know that there are vile characters who want to do bad things to your mother country, America, and you can now see who they are, which was wonderfully outlined in the book. 

But then recently, in the same year of 2022, some eight months later, Alex Jones’ book called The Great Reset came out. That version of the same topic is like that same prom date, only that it’s when your daughter comes home at 4 AM in the morning. She’s beaten up with bruises all over her body. Her dress is torn to pieces. She can’t find her underwear. She is crying and tells you that she lost her date around midnight and can’t remember most of the evening. And it’s quite clear she had been sexually assaulted, and she doesn’t even know by whom. So instead of having pleasant memories of her first prom, you are now at the police station filing a police report, and there is a manhunt on for her date, who has also turned up missing. And the evening is officially a disaster that she will spend the rest of her life trying to forget. That is the level of the truth bombs revealed in Alex Jones’ book on the characters of the World Economic Forum and their inspirations for world domination. I couldn’t recommend reading it enough because, honestly, people need the shock to understand to what extent our country has been attacked over a 100-year period. Glenn Beck had been much more amicable when he wrote his book, but since that innocent time of less than a year ago, so much more has been revealed, and our nation’s innocence has undoubtedly been lost. And now, we must figure out what we are going to do about it. That is the Alex Jones version of The Great Reset. It’s the harsh reality without the kindness, and it’s the answer that many people are seeking as we come upon the midterm elections where the American uniqueness of the Bill of Rights has prevented an all-out attack on our nation and left the bad guys vulnerable to the mass public for the first time in history. 

A couple of parts of the book that really stood out to me were issues that I have long talked about, such as China was, the creation of this World Economic Forum group, people who work behind the scenes of the United Nations and purposely propped up the poor country with finance going back to the post World War II days and the Nixon Administration. Without American influence, as I say all the time, and few people joining the cause, except for Alex Jones, China would fall apart into another poor country of barely functioning farmers. It was the people I call the Desecrators of Davos, the so-called elites of the World Economic Forum, who have been transferring global wealth into China to give it stolen power to implement their goal of a big bad Administrative State run by communism, controlled by those same Desecrators of Davos. China isn’t the real villain; it’s the one they created to attack America and the world through force and finance. And their intentions for our destruction are straightforward and involve many of our own people who have clearly worked against us all with treason and sedition. They ignored our Constitution and assumed that they could do what they wanted to us and that there would be no ramifications. Alex Jones does an excellent job in his book of telling the history of China, and we see the same kind of action being taken today with Ukraine, which is under the same spell for the same reasons. Ukraine is a United Nations-created country that is the money laundering capital of the world for these same global villains meant to destroy the nationalism of Russia for global control. Other than all that, they are all nice people. 

Then there is the thing that I think is the most important, and I haven’t heard many people willing to back me up on it until now. Alex states the obvious, but he does it boldly; when he declares that he believes that the Covid virus was made in a Chinese lab and unleashed as a bioweapon, he has done the world an excellent service. It’s about time that people admit to themselves that Covid was a military attack by the Desecrators of Davos against the world so that they could usher in their Great Reset that Klaus Schwab and his band of international pirates clearly had planned with treasonous help from Americans in finance, corporate influence, and politics. If you’ve ever read the Klaus Schwab version of The Great Reset, which I have, you will understand why Glenn Beck and Alex Jones have put out their warnings in similarly titled books. To me, Klaus Schwab was insane in his utterances, but I took him seriously years ago when Covid was released. I immediately knew what it was and where it came from, and the rest of the world has been slow to name the villain. It’s like finding out that the kid who assaulted your daughter and has gone missing is actually the CEO of the company you work for, so if you punch him in the nose, you are probably going to lose your job. Yet, you must do more than punch the CEO in the nose; you must prosecute him and go toe to toe with all his vast and infinite resources. But because it’s the right thing, you must do it. The Covid created virus by these Desecrators of Davos harmed the entire world simultaneously, and it was all meant to give Klaus Schwab and his minions a Great Reset economically. It’s quite clear, especially in hindsight. The world is slowly figuring it all out. And to know what to do next, they must read Alex Jones’ version of The Great Reset. It is the truth bomb that people need, and I can’t recommend it more!

The Truth About Vanessa Wells: Crawling through the mud is where the bad guys hide their crimes

According to the media narrative that Fox 19 in Cincinnati has tried to establish, and many of the liberal losers within the Rinos for Lakota group, they think the revelation of the bad things that Lakota superintendent Matt Miller has done, which Vanessa Wells revealed, was out of revenge because she was not elected to the school board during the last election. Such a suggestion is really ridiculous, especially when the real story is known. I speak with Vanessa Wells a lot, sometimes every few hours during a day, so I have a pretty good understanding of what she is doing and why she does it. I also understand why people didn’t want me to work with her and tried to convince me that she was dangerous and out of control. I wasn’t born yesterday. Usually, people don’t like someone because they don’t want to live up to the measure that a harder-working person applies to others. Or, their value systems just aren’t compatible. In Vanessa’s case, it’s likely both; she has a high moral value for how things should work, making political people very upset. And she is sharp as a tack, more intelligent than many lawyers that I know. It is not surprising that she has so many lawyers in her orbit right now because they are attracted to her intelligence and sense of justice. And I said to Vanessa recently what I thought about those election results last year where she fell short of winning.

There is a story to that, which I’ll get into shortly, but I’m glad she isn’t on the school board. She is far more influential behind the scenes than she ever would have been in an “official” role. I think Darbi Boddy has done a great job on the school board. I’d love to have more people like her on the school board. But you also need people like Vanessa Wells to work in the trenches, crawl through the mud where all the bad stuff is hidden and where the radical union elements conduct all their malice. I’m a big fan of Vanessa Wells, and I’m glad she is doing what she’s doing. Lakota is far better off because of her.

I remember when Lynda O’Conner introduced me to Vanessa Wells as a proposed school board member. Lynda is now the Lakota school board president, and I wanted to help her get more conservative votes on the school board that more adequately represented the actual residents of Butler County, Ohio. Vanessa was sharp and willing to learn all she could. But as we got closer to the election, and we had to do fundraising for the candidates, and she had to appear at events to get on the Republican Party slate card, Vanessa’s people were not happy with her. They were worried she would go from a rag-tag freedom fighter and concerned mom to a sell-out politician from their perspective, just like all the other sell-outs in the world. I assured Vanessa that wouldn’t be the case, but she was having doubts as the election drew near. And after she won a lawsuit against Lakota schools, Lynda started pushing Vanessa away, so things were getting rough for everyone to be in the same room together. We gave Vanessa a campaign manager to help her with the tasks of winning an election, Bruce Jones, the outstanding fiscal officer of West Chester, and the guy Sheriff Jones wanted to replace Roger Reynolds with as the Butler County Auditor, but the more structure we gave Vanessa, the less authentic she felt her ambitions for the job were, and she was becoming miserable. 

Vanessa approached me several weeks before the November election because she wanted out and to drop off the slate card for the Republican Party of Butler County. She was worried that I would be very angry. But I understood. She worried that if she dropped off, it would make me look bad to the eyes of all the movers and shakers. I told her I understood, that everyone involved had seen more than a few rough elections and that I didn’t care. I told her I wanted her to feel good about what she was doing and that, ultimately, she had to do what she thought was right. So, she dropped off the Republican slate card and ran independently. Of course, I heard about it from just about everyone, but I didn’t try to talk Vanessa out of her decision. Without the slate card inclusion, Vanessa won 5000 votes when the election came around. Darby Boddy and Isaac Adi, who stayed on the card, were the top vote-getters, and if Vanessa had stayed with it, she would have easily have beaten Kelly Casper. The radical union element just didn’t have enough gas to get much more than 7000 votes, so many of our thoughts about voter engagement and turnout, if given conservative options, turned out to be true. Vanessa, without party identification on election day, did exceptionally well. So, there is no shame in what she did or her performance. And there certainly isn’t any desire for revenge. We were all surprised she did as well as she did without the Republican endorsement. Without endorsements, she might have won anyway because she performed so strongly. Any thoughts anybody might have about Vanessa Wells wanting to get revenge on Lakota schools because she didn’t win the school board race simply don’t understand the situation. 

Yet, I’ve always said there needs to be leadership behind the scenes and on the board. It takes a lot more than a few public statements to manage a district full of radical left-winged loons and the union money extracted from property owners with essential threats to their children as the means to get it at play. And I told Vanessa recently that she has been far better for Lakota in the role she is in now than if she was in a straitjacket on the board where all the crazy union rules and the Ohio School Board Association creates methods to regulate the management, not the employees of the far-left political faction who want unencumbered access to our children. With Vanessa on the outside, she is free to act as she needs to, and she has managed to rally lots of good people to the cause, far better than if she was just another nameplate sitting at a desk talking into a microphone. And when she first told me she didn’t want the Republican endorsement, I thought about these possibilities, which have turned out to be very beneficial. I would go on to say that if there were no Vanessa Wells, then when a public employee did get caught doing bad stuff, there would have been nowhere to go with the information. Vanessa did what needed to be done with that information and handled it correctly and legally. And without her, nobody would know anything about this Matt Miller story. It would have been covered up and swept away like so many other issues are, right in front of our faces because the rules control the conduct of the school board. And there never are the kind of good people working in the mud to discover what they’ve been hiding. And the truth is, if Vanessa Wells had won that school board seat, it’s quite clear that many of the good things that are happening now wouldn’t have happened at all.
