President Trump Needs to Announce Now that He’s Running Again: The DOJ will indict him, so the best thing to do is beat them to the punch

All other legal matters aside now is the time for President Trump to announce that he is running for President in 2024.  As a direct answer to the FBI raid on his home, which was an entirely politically motivated and gross abuse of power, and the decisive victory over Liz Cheney in Wyoming, the time is ripe for his eventual announcement due to the behavior of the opposition forces and the only schemes they have left on the chessboard.  President Trump should make it formal and do his Trump Tower escalator speech part two now.  We all know that its an eventuality anyway, so because of what the Department of Justice is planning to do to Trump, the President needs to go on the offensive and capture the hill before the Biden White House has a chance to capture the news story and put the Trump team in yet another defensive position.  It is usually best to attack in these kinds of cases, to be in front of the story instead of a defensive recipient of other people’s aggressive actions.  And let’s face it, yes, the Biden Department of Justice has been weaponized.  They are operating a corrupt FBI who are clearly working to put Democrats in power and to keep them there by any means necessary.  And the phony trial about January 6th was designed from the beginning to indict Trump somehow to prevent him from running for President again.  So the best way to beat that story is to arrive at the destination first.  Make the announcement; then, when they do indict him, it will be clear to the public that it’s a political rival using the force of government to keep a challenger from running for office.  As it stands now, Trump isn’t technically running for office again, so any legal action against him can be considered procedural.  But once Trump announces, then it becomes purely political, and that is how people need to understand what is happening now.  Trump needs to change his status from a “former president” to a “potential one” now that he has all this political capital to his advantage, rub the opposition’s face in it, and keep it that way through the midterms and on through 2024. 

The Biden DOJ has no other option but to indict Trump and hope that it shifts public sentiment, so they will certainly try.  I would argue that an indictment of Trump would be great for the country because it would expose just how ridiculous the FBI and DOJ under abusive authoritarian rule can be.  Through the discovery process, Trump would be completely vindicated, and the strong-arm tactics of a corrupt government would be on full display for all to see, which would be a good thing.  Unlike the January 6th mess that Liz Cheney led, which was all one-sided, representing only a Democrat point of view with a few liberals who were calling themselves Republicans conducting the mock trial to the public, an indictment of Trump would allow Trump lawyers to cross-examine and present evidence and have all kinds of dialogue exchanges with the Biden opposing forces that the government simply isn’t prepared for.  They would have used it if they were prepared and had anything substantial against Trump.  There is no smoking gun in breaking open a Trump prosecution.  What we are dealing with now is a desperate government that is terrified that Trump will run again and that he will win again because they know what they all did to put Biden in the White House, and it won’t be so easy next time.  They know that Trump gained many millions of votes over Biden and that the only way they were able to cheat that 2020 election is with the Covid rules that were written on the back of a napkin at the last minute to allow for loose, mail-in ballots that were massively, illegally counted.  So they have only one move to make against Trump and his supporters: to keep him from running by abusing the legal weapons at their disposal in infinite amounts. 

With all that in mind, if Trump is planning to announce he’s running for President anyway, and his family is already prepared for it, then now is better than later to make the announcement.  Trump has quite a solid case to make about why he should be president again and why now.  As a natural sequel to his speech from 2015 when he came down the Trump Tower escalator, a lot has happened, but now we have open borders, criminals all over the streets, and a criminal cartel in the White House essentially who has control of our DOJ and FBI.  And it’s time to drain the swamp, especially now that we know where all the swamp monsters live.  Before we knew they were there, but they were concealed in the chaos of politics, just under the water and out of our view.  Over the last seven years, we have drained the water of the swamp, and now we see all the ugly creatures, and they are hungry for victims.  They are vicious and suddenly very aggressive because their concealment has been revealed to the world.  Liz Cheney and what happened to her blowout loss in Wyoming is a perfect example between the Karl Rove consultant class in D.C. politics and the normal voter in flyover country and how they see the world.  The sleeping giant of Republican America has been awakened, and they know Trump is their best option for a government they can believe in and a country they can be proud of.  And they are ready, despite anything the corrupt forces of Washington D.C. can throw at Trump.  Trump literally has nothing to lose in making his announcement now.  But he can gain a lot by getting in front of the DOJ before they make a formal indictment.  When they do, it would clearly be an action against a political rival, not just trying to keep a former president on his heels with legal pressure.  What the DOJ wants most is to scare Trump away from announcing.  Once he does, then the hopes of stopping him will go out the window. 

I agree with Alen Dershowitz when he says that even if the DOJ indicts Trump, there is nothing in the Constitution that says he can’t still run for President.  There is just an assumption that someone under criminal indictment wouldn’t be able to win an election.  But with Trump, people see through it, and a criminal indictment would only make Trump more popular.  We have seen this kind of thing going on for years in smaller elections that are regional in nature.   The assumption is that a criminal investigation makes a political candidate off limits for holding office.  But when the Constitution was written, this level of political sabotage wasn’t a new thing.  Criminal allegations from an abusive law enforcement entity are one of the oldest tricks in the book, and it won’t keep Trump out of the White House if the people pick him again.  And by all indications, they are poised to do so.  So the purpose of any criminal indictment would be to attempt to scare away voters and Trump from even announcing to run.  With Trump making that announcement now, it would take all the air out of the Department of Justice balloon and the Biden White House and put them on their heels for a change, with nothing left to do but look into the camera and have that blank stare they are becoming known for.  There is nothing for Trump to lose in making his announcement now.  But there is a lot to gain.

Liz Cheney Loses Big in Wyoming: The Masons, Never-Trumpers, and established order of politics are very confused and want desperately to lash out at voters who aren’t picking them in elections

It was a bizarre proposition from Liz Cheney, after losing in the primary 28.9% to 66%, a massive blowout in Wyoming by any measures, that she compared herself to Lincoln and hinted at running for president. As if she learned nothing from her dramatic fall in coming out against President Trump and being the face of the January 6th Unselect Committee. Just as bizarre was the campaign ad that her dad did for her, wearing a cowboy hat and looking stern into the camera, warning about the destruction of the republic by Donald Trump. Didn’t he watch Mitt Romney do the same thing back in 2016, which did nothing to harm Trump’s brand? The Cheneys are politically savvy; they’ve been around for a long time and served in top offices. Why couldn’t they read the tea leaves? Or was it that they could read the tea leaves but be in denial about what they were saying? Perhaps they are suffering from the same problem that is causing the entire Never-Trumper movement so much consternation, the knowledge that the plan they had for so long in America, to serve the Liberal World Order as they themselves have been calling it, was falling apart and people had rejected it wholesale. Their anger at Trump was really anger at themselves displaced because they couldn’t look in the mirror and apply blame where it belonged. 

Every political age has its own unique circumstances. In her concession speech, Liz tried to brand herself as the Lincoln of our time, even though she was just smoked in a very conservative state in an embarrassing election. Like some unthinking drone, she is hell-bent on a course she learned from her father over the years to put her political head to the grindstone and just barrel through it because institutionalism would come to her somewhere out there defense, and her fortunes would change. That is the belief she has been functioning from. When she turned against Trump and put on the massive show trial that benefited only Democrats like Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden with the name of a Republican denying that election fraud occurred in the 2020 election, it proved to be a terrible strategy. People saw for themselves what happened, there is plenty of evidence of election fraud during that election, and people saw that it gave them Joe Biden, a loser of a president that has raised taxes, destroyed our economy, destroyed our advantage in the world with fossil fuels, and brought a lot of corruption and scandal to our White House. It’s been embarrassing, and Liz Cheney made herself the apologist for all that bad behavior by trying to put all the focus on Trump. And people grew angry with her over it. 

People can see the evidence for themselves on election fraud and what was going on over January 6th, 2021. It’s not like President Trump owns the opinions of so many millions of people. But people have chosen to favor his opinions over all others, and that option is what has Liz Cheney and many other anti-Trump forces like her upset. Trump is changing the political landscape away from what they thought were the rules of conduct. Republicans would play a role in Washington politics as the flop, while Democrats would be the people’s party of equal rights. So long as everyone stayed in their lane, everything would work out just fine, which is how it was for her father during the Bush administration. Behind the scenes, there were many forces at work, but there was a code that was established by the Masons who founded Washington D.C. of how politics would run in the new country of America, and the establishment understood what those ground rules were. Republicans played bad cop and represented business. Democrats played good cop and represented minority groups and equal rights. But in the Mason lodges around Washington D.C. and in every community around the country were the understandings of the Three Crafts, regarding equality, dependence on others, fidelity to promises, contemplation of death, and duty to others which was the underlying foundation to everything in politics. Republicans and Democrats who were all Masons or involved with Masons through fundraising activities knew the rules. So long as everything stayed on those value systems, everyone could agree to disagree. The Masons were bringing to the New World starting in 1776 a long contemplated utopia, and people would love them for it. 

The crisis came several hundred years later when it all blew up in their face. The more freedom people had, whether in transportation, communication, or education, the less inclined they were to follow the Mason vision for how America would evolve. That rocked the political world, which needed more and more scandals and wars to distract Americans from their information hunger in a free society. When the Masons contemplated how a free society would function, they obviously had not been drawing from successful examples around the world because there was no society previously that had figured it out. But the American Constitution created a truly an unruly maniac that defied the rules of conduct that a polite, “masonic” society would give them. Free will turned out to be problematic, and for political insiders like the Cheney family, it was well beyond their grasp to deal with. That is why they had that lost puppy look in their campaign ads and were tone deaf in the aftermath of the election results. America had rejected them when given a choice by Trump. Never-Trumpers directed their anger at Trump for providing that “non-Masonic” option that everyone in political theater through their mason halls agreed never to breach. But Americans didn’t want to be controlled by the Masons either. And the Masons never planned to control them initially. But Plato never addressed how free people should act; the role in politics was always to have that philosopher-king presence in politics who would rule over people with wisdom and compassion.

Liz Cheney and her father thought that’s what they were, and now people rejected them. They were perplexed, beyond recognition. In the aftermath of her concession speech, it was clear that Liz Cheney wasn’t even close to understanding the MAGA movement, what role Trump played in it, or what would happen next. So, of course, from her perspective and the Mason-driven establishment of America and European political discourse, the world is coming to an end. Thousands of years of planning and manipulating political power behind the curtain were falling apart, and all they knew to do was to be angry at Donald Trump. But all Trump did was offer himself as an option and refused to kiss any political rings. And from there, they hated him. But people loved Trump for it. Trump gave people a choice they hadn’t had before, hadn’t had for thousands of years. And now, all those long-established political forces were unprepared for the blatant rejection. You could see it on Liz Cheney’s face; this was not the political order of the world she had learned from her father. You could see it on Dick’s face, too, during that ridiculous ad he did for his daughter, thinking that the cowboy hat would sell his pitch. We are living in a world where it takes a lot more than that. Political candidates must be much more substantial and freedom-loving, not in token considerations but to their souls. And the establishment is lost as to what to do with this new knowledge. In the Mason’s ideal society of Egypt, there wasn’t a version of Donald Trump, so they didn’t know what to do with populism. And now they are learning the hard lessons history never taught them.

“Walk Like an Egyptian”: Why Alex Jones is the king of populism and the secret of all secret societies

As vicious as it is and has been, I think the silver lining of all these assaults against Alex Jones will prove his life work to be worth the effort. With his Great Reset book coming out, which is very, very good, by the way, and a movie about him, and Steve Bannon’s Warroom putting its arms around him in new and unique ways, the efforts to prosecute him in the court of public opinion is only going to make Alex Jones more accessible to people who might otherwise be resistant to his message. I’ve always enjoyed Alex Jones, but it’s not enough to just talk about the surface conditions of things; I like to know the superstructure underneath. I don’t get much new information from Alex Jones, so I don’t talk about him often. For me, the role he plays in populism is critical, but it’s for the masses. As for my personal inclinations, I am much more interested in the more esoteric aspects of things. But those approaches aren’t readily accessible to a mass audience. Yet, perhaps now that more people know who Alex Jones is outside his regular Infowars audience, they may be ready to open their eyes and see what has always been there.

Regarding that, we are in a time when more people than ever are asking questions that only the Alex Jones side of populism can answer. Still, more profound than that, to understand a deep scandal that has essentially been with us since the start of all civilization, going back to even before the Egyptians and occupants of the Indus Valley, the plot for world control has always been with us. Then to understand, as I propose in my book The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, for the first time in all that history, America has it right with a new philosophy that has emerged that is part of a natural evolution, tens of thousands of years in the making. And that the struggles to contain people like Alex Jones and Steve Bannon have failed, and something very wonderful will come of it all. But first, we see a lot of ugliness, and we must understand it before comprehending where all this is going. 

To grasp much of what Alex Jones has covered over the years, you must first understand who the enemy is and why they want to control mass civilization to the extent they do. Who are the “globalists,” and why do they want to rule the world so badly? I’ve never liked to use the term “globalists” personally. It’s a Carroll Quigley thing, and I personally have always found people like that guy revolting. I’ve read the books and studied their nonsense, and the term globalist just makes me sick and makes me think of losers like Bill Clinton and George Bush types. I’ve hated these people even when the world was good, in the pre-Covid days, before the Administrative State went after Trump with everything they had from 2015 on. I would go so far as to say that even when life was at its best, Top 40 musical artists were coming out on the radio weekly, and video games were coin-operated at an arcade when American life looked most prosperous. Everyone who wanted a job had one; I read the books of globalists like Quigley and the gang, hated them with every essence of my being, and watched everything they did with great scrutiny. Alex Jones did too and built an entire media empire out of that hatred called Infowars. A small percentage of the population felt similar about the goals of globalism. Over the years, Alex Jones continued expanding his media reach to the point where the globalists decided he needed to go. He was targeted for destruction in much the same way that Inquisitors from Europe destroyed rivals to their churches at the time, to protect their true intentions for religion, which is to control mass society with a common belief. The way they meant to control people was to control what you believed, and from that threat, Alex Jones created Infowars. Now that the cat is out of the bag on globalism, the modern Inquisition from global progressives cannot hide their disdain for the populist movement any longer. Trump’s administration gave them too much of a scare, and now they are out for blood, fangs out. What used to be considered a conspiracy theory is no longer a theory. Its fact.

Of course, that has unsettled people, and now there is a great hunger to understand all the various secret societies behind the globalist movement. And for many people, they are bewildered by all the options; there is talk about the Illuminati, the Rosicrucians, the Masons, devilish blood cults that feed off of young people and participate in mass public orgies that are disgraceful. Who were the Knights Templars in the world, and why are they relevant? And if all these groups have their roots in serving Christ, why are they dancing around campfires in the woods and worshiping goat heads and pentagrams? Well, as it turns out, considering all the secret societies that there are and have always been and the nature of all the major religions, it all comes down to two points of view, no matter where in the world you might find yourself. There are the “dualists” and the “materialists.” And once you understand that, it all makes a lot more sense. Dualists are the foundation of all religions from the emergence of the city-state and go back to the times of Egyptians, even further and believe that the purpose of life is to shake off the body’s prison and be reborn as a spirit. It’s very much an oriental concept and still persists in the earth worship movement. When we talk about climate change, we are simply talking about people who want to put the latest mask on the dualist movement. Then, the materialists evolved out of the Roman Catholic acquisition of Christianity and emerged to keep their empire intact. Because of their power and force over governments they pushed anybody with any other beliefs to go underground and start secret societies. Secret societies survived thousands of years of persecution by putting on the mask of Christianity and then revealing to the highest initiates much later their true intentions for an oriental religion that shakes off all materialism and works toward spirit alignment to everlasting life. If you want proof of such a thing, just look at the giant obelisk we have right next to the White House in Washington D.C. It doesn’t get much more Egyptian than that. Or think about the old Bangles song, “Walk Like an Egyptian.” The influences on our culture are literally everywhere. But they are hidden and work in the background to guide all of society toward their ancient aims of mass sacrifice to the same old stupid gods of destruction and mayhem. 

The conflict in the United States may have always intended to free those secret societies from the Roman Catholic Church’s purges and create a utopia in America that recreates paradise lost in the New World. There is a lot of talk these days that North America is where Atlantis resided and was destroyed by the Younger Dryas calamity and that Egypt emerged from the ashes of Atlantis. So the creation of America was always meant to get back to the roots of what was great before, or at least by the measure of the duelists. The American Constitution was written to prevent European governments from imposing religious persecution on the freed minds of American inhabitants. Meanwhile, the push toward globalism was a long-planned creation to spread the dualist religion all over the world, putting China as the model for the future, communism, anti-materialist socialism with lots of centralized planning to manage society back to Egypt as it was, it would be again. But the American experiment had gone wrong for the globalist types. By trying to defeat the Roman Catholic inquisitions, they had created a new kind of person, a free person with the will not to be controlled by anybody. And now they have a problem they can’t put back into the bottle and erase. Americans were created, and people like Alex Jones, Steve Bannon, President Trump, and many others are the spokespeople for a new form of populism that is a new kind of religion, not of the original two that have caused all the wars known to history. But something else. And for that something else to live and grow, we are living history moment by moment, and something truly remarkable is being born, for which the entire populist movement around the world is creating as we speak. And it’s nothing like what we’ve seen in the past, but something radically and wonderfully new.

The Attack on Small Business by the Liberal World Order: Remember the fire of 1666 in London, the same forces are at work now behind Covid

It’s not at all uncommon when we are dealing with malicious global societies and the wrecks of people who fall into god worship of pagan deities who seek social change based on their fears and starvation for power to impose on others. It was undeniable after the fire of 1666 when central London was burnt to the ground for many miles of former wood-constructed buildings that caught fire by accident. Yet, some early versions of the Masonic order emerged with plans to rebuild with star alignments and goddess worship in mind, with central planners ready to dig immediately. Accidental or planned tragedies have been the mode of operation that many secret societies have used to impose their version of reality on the world. And those societies were secret for the primary reason that they wished to avoid complete destruction by those in religious power at the time. So, they would, in the case of Masons emerging in London and other places in Europe, put on the mask of Christianity publically while behind closed doors trying to bring back the ancient society of Egypt, an oriental-based religion, to challenge authority and impose on the world their own religion for magical reasons that might appease the gods profiting of whatever tragedy might present itself. The fire of 1666 in London, which displaced many tens of thousands of people in its aftermath, was just one example of the many times secret societies have used tragedy to impose on the world a religious view that wasn’t popular in the mainstream but operated in the background to the misery of those that were imposed upon. So when the same type of characters who now operate in the same way today as the Desecrators of Davos and Klaus Schwab’s Great Reset created a virus from a Chinese lab called Covid-19, the global lockdowns and protocols were meant to inflict social change through the ruins of mass society for the goals of a hidden religion. This time it was still the goddess worship that is a part of many pagan religions, but this time it was mother earth and the attempted centralized control of every economy in the world, especially the destruction of those in the United States. 

One of the keys to the greatest economy in the world within the United States is the many small businesses that make it up. One thing that became obvious during the Covid lockdowns was that, like the fire in 1666, there were surprisingly many people who knew what to do. It didn’t take them long to use Covid as the trigger for massive social reforms that obviously had long been planned out. And while governors all over America who were involved in the secret societies who, tongue in cheek, operated out in the open of progressive thought, a clear pattern emerged that showed a hostile war against those small businesses and legislative patterns that dramatically favored the big corporate stores who have bent the knee to global control. When businesses were shut down, large corporate stores were allowed to stay open as many mom and pop shops closed up and were destroyed forever. I recently had to travel across Ohio from Cincinnati to Cleveland for a Fast Draw Championship competition and was thinking about this topic while noticing the enormous amount of small businesses that there were, which make up a large part of the Ohio economy and the economy of America. I have similarly traveled across North America and noticed how many decentralized businesses there are, especially compared to similar distances in Europe, where land use is much more restricted, forcing people to live near more metropolis areas and take their businesses with them.   It’s quite clear that many progressive activists worship the goddess earth as a new age religion who wanted to use Covid to destroy American small businesses. If not for the tenacity of the American people and the legal constraints on government from the American Constitution, they would have succeeded as planned. 

Like that fire in 1666 or even in the ashes of 9/11 where the World Trade Center Twin Towers and several other buildings in that sector of New York were suddenly gone as a result of FBI incompetence to allow terrorists to do their menace, there are always people there ready to exploit the tragedy, with plans already put to paper for all to see, who are prepared to make their move. And the biggest of the corporations was primarily controlled by Larry Fink money mostly, with liberal tentacles into their boards of directors who were already kneeling to the new gods of worship that were presented through globalism; we saw the intentions for a New World Order, liberal in nature, ancient in its intentions, that was asserting itself and willing to run over anybody who got in their way, especially the typical small business in America. And it was a crime on such a vast scale that nobody knew how to consider the sheer evil of it. But unlike that fire in London, Covid wasn’t an accident; it was a purposeful attack on the economies of the world which intended to destroy competition to the big corporations who were leveraging control of the global economy into a system that would allow for more centralized control. These new forces didn’t want thousands of individual companies in America to resist their ESG scores or the reach of their financial controls clearly established by BlackRock and many other activist money managers and banks run by droopy pot-bellied losers with bad golf games. It was much easier to control the very few and very large companies than the massive task of many decentralized economic forces that were way too independent. 

It was the same forces that were behind the many European Inquisitions and Crusades who sought to protect the emerging religion of earth worship and get revenge for the past where Egyptian dark arts were suppressed by Christianity, the creation of America and individual rights and the goals of materialism built by capitalism that was the real enemy of the pagan Earth Goddess worshipers. They didn’t care who died in the process so long as they imposed their will on the world by force, just as they always have. The same forces that created many of the old secret societies and fled Europe’s ominous Roman Catholic Church in hopes of being free to worship as they pleased and not be killed for it, the experiment had gone out of control. The desire to regain control of it was pressing those same European forces toward a Great Reset that would put them in control of the world in ways they had always wished. And the aim was to appease the same goddess; whether it was called Mother Earth, Isis, or the Virgin, they are all the same as the true terrorists behind the movement. The attack on small businesses in America and around the world was malicious and purposeful. It was long planned and maniacal. And we must never forget about it. As I said about my recent trip, many small businesses are still recovering from the destruction that Covid brought them. It was never fair. And they need someone to defend them. The plan had failed, and things did not go as they were conceived. And the bad guys got caught cheating on the chess board. The Trump administration had forced them to attempt such a thing out of fear that their long-established plans might never get off the ground. So they unleashed Covid and took a shot to control the world. And we are still seeing the effects of that destruction years later while many are still trying to figure out what to do about it now.

Yes, We are In a Recession Headed for a Depression: The lying Biden administration is trying to hide the crime by abandoning the measurement

There has never been a question about the definition of what a recession is; if there are two consecutive quarters of GDP decline, we have a recession. And as to our present circumstance in America under the illegitimate Biden administration, we are actually in a far worse situation than just a recession. They have been living off a positive Trump economy that was mostly hands-off on economic growth, which allowed it to grow in more positive ways than it has in decades. Basic economics 101, recessions are caused by too much government tampering, and the indicators begin when you see negative GDP growth. For economies to work, people need to go out and do productive enterprises, and they must have the freedom to take the risks to generate those enterprises. What all socialist economists get wrong, which is most of them who get their information through liberal university study, is that restrictions on economic activity are detrimental to GDP growth. Economies do not expand due to administrative state tampering and top-down bureaucratic compliance. Money is made and expanded when creative freedom is at its highest in a culture, and people are free to take risks with the fewest penalties a society can tolerate. All the cable business channels get their information from the same socialist-trained market analyzers, so people tend to view economic data the same way they do medical or legal information as something beyond their comprehension. But in truth, the proper measures of positive economic growth, whether it be a country or a local business, is the more restrictions there are on creative business growth, the worst the performance of the profit-driven enterprise. 

So it was no surprise that the very micro-managed Biden administration would impede GDP growth with its intrusive business policies. Just the vaccine mandates of the fourth quarter of 2021 would have been enough to cause a recession in the first quarters of 2022. The Biden administration and Democrats, in general, have been living off the Trump economy and benefiting from it. Job growth has been easy to measure because many of the jobs they are taking credit for, including this latest one in August of 2022, have been because of the global shutdowns due to Covid. The CDC has been gradually reducing its very harmful “recommendations,” which essentially torpedoed positive economic growth due to surrendering logic to the government-made Covid virus that was produced in a lab in China under the guidance of Dr. Fauci and many others as a bioweapon. When China unleashed that bioweapon before the election in 2020, the goal to remove Trump from the American White House was the top priority and remains the top priority of the Liberal World Order, Henry Kissinger’s “world order.” So the CDC put forth lots of restrictive recommendations that harmed employment numbers. As those restrictions were reduced, people have slowly returned to the workplace, helping make employment numbers look like growth. However, it’s all smoke and mirrors because those employees may have returned to the workplace, but performance expectations have been dramatically reduced.

If anybody doubted that the Biden administration were complete liars and that they would lie about anything just to see if they could get away with it, then this attempt by them to redefine what a recession is proving their true merit. They have attempted to hide their bad economic output by changing the definition, just as they attempted to do this previous week by denying that there is any inflation. Biden himself declared that inflation was at 0% because they simply erased all previous measures and declared that the official record was happening upon that announcement. Of course, the Biden people have lied about the invasion of Trump’s home, about election fraud, and about the validity of the Covid vaccines, which have turned out to be dangerous for some people. They have lied about the cause of the war in Ukraine, and the price of gasoline, so nobody should expect them to suddenly start telling the truth about economic talk ahead of an important election. They have taken an excellent economy coming out of 2019 and 2020 and absolutely and purposely destroyed it in 2021 and 2022 with overly restrictive policies that crippled economic growth. And now it’s showing in the economy for two quarters now. It took some time for the ship to start sinking, but once it started to, there was no way to stop it. Too much government intrusion means an economy that can’t grow and expand. It’s that simple. When an organization of any kind starts destroying its measurements, you know then that they are failing. What doesn’t get measured doesn’t get done. Or what measurements are abandoned, are meant to hide what isn’t getting done. 

The truth about Biden’s position on recession and their attempts to hide the information from the public indicates a much larger problem. We’re not just in a recession, but we are in a depression, a bad depression that will make the one in the 1930s look like a child’s creation. Biden hopes to hide the criminal conduct of his son until after the midterm election, as well as all this bad economic information for political reasons. The media, of course, is helping him because, in essence, they work for the administrative state, not freedom of speech, and they serve the Liberal World Order completely, without debate. But the evidence of the trouble starts to be seen when you see organizations throwing out their measurements because they want to hide the truth from people wanting to understand what’s going on. The Biden administration has no plan to explain negative growth in the third or fourth quarter or for what looks like it will be years of negative growth. Without question, to attempt to hide the obvious depression that America is now in will be to throw out all the measurements and redefine the definitions so that the public might be oblivious to the real harm in the facts. It’s not just happening in America; everywhere that the Liberal World Order has impressed itself into culture is finding themselves suffering through negative growth. And the Biden team hopes to hide their failure in the failures of the rest of the world suffering for all the same reasons. In that way, they certainly hope to redefine the definitions to conceal their lackluster performance. But the evidence is obvious, and people feel it at the gas pumps, in the reductions in commercial options, supply chain failures, and how the world has slowed down.

Even though people are returning to work after the many-year Covid haze, they are not as good as before the lockdowns. Workers have lost their edge, their competitive spirit. They have been sung a lullaby of death by the Desecrators of Davos, the European attitude of sleeping through life and not being driven by any sense of urgency.   We are living in a world of the Great Reset, as Klaus Schwab and many global progressives like him intended, and the economy is reacting worse than they initially thought. That is because they listened to all the loser economists that the university system produced and started their measurements with the wrong assumptions. And now we have a recession in America and around the world. But worse, we are headed for a long depression, and that depression will last until the government is removed from the money-making process. And not before

The Biden Administration is Far More Dangerous than Zawahiri Was: They all want the same thing, the destruction of America and the end of capitalism

Notice how fast the killing of Zawahiri went away as a news story. The media, complicit with the illegitimate Biden criminal administration, thought that if they ordered in a drone strike like some people order a pizza, that their poll numbers would improve. They might stop the terrible news that continues to come out of the White House regarding inflation, war with Russia, a weak president constantly sick with Covid, and being a laughingstock around the world. They killed the old man Zawahiri, the long-known terrorist and former right-hand man to Osama bin Laden and expected it to be a rallying cry for the rest of the country to get behind the Democrats ahead of the midterms. And they did it right on script, the end of summer in 2022, they really thought, based on the playbook of the past, that it would wash over Americans with patriotism and Biden’s poll numbers would instantly improve, and all would be good going into the next election cycle. However, these are not the naïve times of two years ago. We are a much wiser nation now than we were in 2019. After what we have seen the government do regarding Covid, election fraud, and the harassment of J6 prisoners and anybody associated with the MAGA movement, Zawahiri may have been a terrorist who helped plan the killing of many lives over 21 years ago. But the Biden administration is far more dangerous and far worse in their malicious intent and is the real concern. And people understand that now much better than they did previously, making that old liberal playbook of public manipulation worthless in the coming times. And they are lost as to what to do next. 

We are talking about a Biden administration that has sold out America to its greatest enemy, China. A country that produced a bioweapon in partnership with radical elements of the administrative state and its connection to the United Nations and unleashed it to throw the world into the Great Reset, a Klaus Schwab plan to topple all global economies at the same time and bring them under the control of a global administrative state ran essentially by the United Nations. Many people were killed in this action and permanently ruined in many other ways, especially financially. When Zawahiri and his bearded buddy Osama planned the actions of 9/11, they thought it would be a symbolic attack against American capitalism and strike a blow against the imperialism of the United States that was fueled by the great wealth produced in those buildings. It could be said that the terrorists from Saudi Arabia were inspired by the American movie Fight Club and thought America would be destroyed if its symbols of capitalism were removed from their big skylines. When they hijacked commercial airliners and flew them into the twin towers of the World Trade Center, they ruthlessly killed many people and caused billions of dollars of destruction. However, in the aftermath of the terrible event, the administrative state was ready to go with all kinds of new laws and regulations and a massive government expansion to take over Americans’ independence and give more power to the efforts of globalism in the aftermath. Since then, these terrorists have been hiding in the desert for the last 20 years. We were told that Osama bin Laden was killed and that his body was dumped in the ocean before cameras could even verify the action, and we were supposed to take the authority’s word for it. Then it took these same losers with all the modern technology available to them to spend the next 21 years looking for Zawahiri, only to kill him the night before significant elections in the United States while Biden was hiding in the White House behind a mask of Covid sickness, to stay out of the public eye. 

But more than anything that the Al Qaeda terrorist wanted to do to strike at the wealth of America, the Biden administration has actually taken steps to dismantle that wealth and throw in jail anybody who questions them on it. After what we’ve seen about the Hunter Biden laptop and the openly committed crimes there that the FBI has helped cover up—we have the son of the president of the United States using illegal drugs on video and having sex with prostitutes, which is also illegal, and nothing was done about it. Instead, the people who wanted to investigate it were attacked and harassed as far as the law would allow. Then we’ve watched this administration and the party of the Democrats, in general, go to work to brick by brick dismantle the capitalist American economy with the same vigor as bin-Laden, and his friend Zawahiri planned the 9/11 attacks and for the same reasons. Only many more people have been killed by the Biden administration, not just in the destruction of economic value. Still, the purposeful allowance of George Soros and other monied financiers to take over district attorney offices all over America to weaken our justice system and kill many people on the streets with upticks in violence, but with vaccine mandates with experimental drugs that are having terminal effects on people. The government has been covering it up in an alliance with drug companies. The Biden administration has made the attack on the twin towers of New York look like a kid’s game in comparison.

But worse of all is the border crisis, where the Biden administration has gone out of its way to allow for an open border with Mexico allowing drug cartels to thrive, allow them to poison the youth of our country, and bring in millions and millions of undocumented people into America with no restrictions to Covid at all. On the one hand, if you want to travel into Canada or some overseas flight, you have to show you have been vaxed because government created Covid and unleashed it around the world. Now we are supposed to take their vaccine to travel freely because the virus could be deadly to some people sometimes. Yet, anybody and their monkey’s uncle can cross over into America from the southern border with Mexico no matter what is wrong with those people. They could be the next terrorist cell; they could be sick with some deadly disease. They might come for a hit to kill people rivaling their drug trade. According to the Biden administration, it’s all OK with their open border policy.

Consequently, more people had died because of Biden than ever were killed when Zawahiri and Osama planned the attack on the World Trade Center. We have a presidential administration in the current White House who cheated an election to get there, unleashed a virus to allow them to do it, and now in power has been willing to destroy anybody who gets in their way of achieving all the goals that the terrorists around the world have been trying to do to America for many decades. But instead of running planes into our skyscrapers, they are now in the White House operating right out in the open with the help of our FBI, CIA, and other hostile administrative state agents. And they thought we were so stupid that we wouldn’t see that it was they who were far more dangerous than some brittle old man who did something terrible 21 years ago and has been hiding out in public all this time without punishment. That is until the Biden administration needed a cover story. And on the eve of a big election in August of 2022, Biden finally ordered the strike with the same bravado that we might order pizza before a big football game on television. It took the same kind of courage. And they actually thought we were so stupid that we’d fall for it. No, this time, the story died in just a few hours because it’s quite clear that the Biden administration was far more dangerous than terrorist cells around the world. And getting rid of them will be a lot harder than just ordering a pizza by phone.

The Root Cause Analysis of All Political Problems: Mankind was meant to have dominion over nature–nature by itself is pretty dumb

The root cause analysis of all political problems is a very ancient one. I would say that it goes all the way back to the start of our present recorded history and likely goes back much further than that. What was invented in America was very special and has been part of an evolution that well exceeds the last 10,000 years, but is best expressed in the opening books of Genesis in the Bible, particularly Genesis: 28 “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be Fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” I would say until that passage was written in the Bible, put together by the Romans to unite their empire, mankind had been stuck on the Vico Cycle rut that always created a society of perpetual beginnings, moving through the standard cycles of theocracy, aristocracy, democracy, then anarchy. Over many thousands of years of civilization, the Egyptians never figured it out, and they look to have built most of their society on a previously unknown ancient civilization, and what they gained from them was only a fraction of what was. Greek and Roman societies studied the Egyptians, who were essentially oriental in their approach to the everlasting, and saw themselves as perishable, except when it came to the embodiment of reincarnated Egyptian gods born again as Pharaohs. The Romans put together selected parts of the Bible but left out many others to control mass populations in Europe as they pushed their competing religions East into the orient. There has been a lot that went on, but everyone got it a little bit wrong until at least mankind began to think in the way of that which was put in the first pages of the Bible in the Book of Genesis, where God gave mankind dominion over nature. Not the other way around. 

Suppose you dive down with a root cause analysis of all the major political and religious movements of our current time and ask why so many people hate each other. In that case, the problem starts with mankind’s relationship to eternity and the misplaced idea that materialism is bad and that dying into a spirit is good, without question that is the core problem with the current climate change activists. Suppose you speak to them with the cameras off where they are comfortable and unguarded, perhaps with a few glasses of wine down their throats. In that case, they will admit to some variation of the four major religions presented to us by the standard bearers of humanity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity. Of those four, all of them view the modern world’s materialism as evil and the ascendency into the world of the dead as good, to leave the material world behind and embrace our spiritual natures. But, and I would cite the great work of the great Peruvian shaman Pablo Amaringo, a hero of the climate change religious fanatics of the world, that the greatest thing in the entire universe that includes quasars, black holes, concepts of a multiverse, anything and everything is the consciousness and imagination of the human being. I don’t say that just because we are all human and we can’t think of anything better due to our own human limits of perception. But in the observations of the universe and the rules that govern it. The creative force of the mind captured in a human form takes the tools of nature and puts them to the best use. The concept of America, while it might have been formed in rebellion against the tyranny of the Catholic Church, guided by what was left over from the Roman empire, what was created, as I often state in my own book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business is a unique new kind of human with a different kind of religion in America, where materialism reflects the boundless energy of nature captured and put to practical use by human beings and their wondrous imaginations. And the importance of this is that it has broken a destructive cycle of continued rebirth that has been limiting human development for many thousands of years. As intelligent as the Egyptians appeared to be, with lots of lost technology that we are still trying to figure out, it’s evident that their civilization wasn’t the first to rise and fall. We see those forces at work now in the modern age, violently and with great panic.

The current political order, especially Democrats and progressives, is trying to fit the world to that old religious model of sacrifice to the gods and yielding to the forces of nature. But our human intellect, captured whether on purpose or by accident in the creation of the Bible and passages like those in the Book of Genesis giving mankind dominion over nature, to use the tools of nature to create and perpetuate thought, which looks to be the greatest power in the universe, or the multiverse, then now we see what all the fuss has been about. The world’s religions, as the limits of mankind’s translations, presented them, have not been big enough to consider the true implications of what it meant to be human. To begin with, what role did humans play in the cosmos, and why did they have such vast imaginations? Even though the human being may be very small in relation to the rest of all matter in the universe, which may just be but one little cell in the grand body of God, the conscious reality of that small contribution looks to be the key to everything. Imagine if the cells of our own body decided to allow disease to manifest within us and did not fight them. We’d become sick. And so it is with the schemes of the universe. Our role in the whole thing is not to sacrifice ourselves to the body of nature but to act with our minds to correct nature with our imaginations and ability to think. 

I often point out what a mess nature is if allowed to grow independently. What the human mind brings is conceptual understanding and an ability to organize. Nature by itself can only do so much. It needs the human mind to make it better, and when the Book of Genesis was created as a conceptual faculty of thought, and America was the first time in history it was allowed to be put to use, then great things started happening, and the greatest country in the history of the world formed, and everyone wants to come to it to enjoy what can be done with a free mind and the toolbox of nature to perform great things. Yet, the rest of the world, the nations, and the religions that control them have not yet accepted this new way of thinking, this morality of materialism that runs contrary to all the things they understand about how the world works. I would say that all of them, millions and millions of people over many tens of thousands of years, have been wrong. They missed the point. Nature says that in its chaos of calamity, we can have a Younger Dryas period that has a comet hit Saginaw Bay in Michigan and created a life-ending cataclysm that likely destroyed a civilization that was much more advanced than the Egyptians were, that everything the Egyptians knew was part of the Vico Cycle where much was lost in the translation. But dominion over nature says we destroy the comet before it destroys the earth, and humanity continues to think about big things rather than wasting all their time sacrificing to the gods and trying to catch enough food to live another day. Nature is dumb; it’s not in charge. God, whatever version of God or religion that gives a relationship to such conceptual needs, is a thinking human being that can act with imagination and make nature better. And until the rest of the world figures out what Americans already know and defend it with their guns, they will continue to struggle as civilizations always have.

The Midterms Aren’t Enough: This problem goes back thousands of years

As we talk about the midterms and the massive increases of House and Senate seats that are projected for the GOP and watch with mystery the obvious ruse of Nancy Pelosi poking the stick at China, seemingly going against the Biden administration’s pro-China policies, we need to understand just how desperate Democrats are and to what extent globalists around the world will fight to keep power. And we also hear that Joe Biden has Covid yet again; the Democrats saw that Joe polled better when he hid in the White House residence, just as he did when he ran for President by hiding in his basement; they intend to exploit every advantage they can get their hands on fully. The Never Trumper movement will do anything to keep Trump out of office, including running a third-party candidate to help Gavin Newsom get pushed over the top as Bill Clinton did. Never-Trumpers don’t mind dealing with the Democrats in office. And, of course, Democrats will do anything to obtain power. They aren’t just going to accept a red wave vote and disappear into the night. They will fight until the very death of themselves and their party. They aren’t going to respect the will of the voters. So be cautious of every trick and expect them all to be played. It might be too late for them to correct course by the midterms. Just like the recession forecasts that have been talked about all of 2022 only to come true ultimately, the midterms will also. But Democrats will spin it with their eye toward the next goal, much as they did with the economy. They are what any definition would call the very foundations of evil. Not because they think differently, but because of their intentions toward mass society, and they are getting ready to make their final stand. Once the midterms are won, the fight will just be getting started. It’s not very long until 2024, yet it’s a very long way away as well, and a lot can and will happen. 

For Democrats and global progressives, the political fight in America is not just about ideas on how to manage society. It’s a religion to them. That is why they are willing to work with Never-Trumpers, and there is essentially a “uniparty” in Washington D.C.  Most politicians in political theater, whether it’s Fox News or CNN broadcasts are essentially the same. Everything they have ever been was shaped by two opposing forces. Yet the MAGA movement is the natural evolution of a third political force that has tried for many years to manifest into reality but has always been lost by one of the two basic religious philosophies. President Trump represents a threat to that entire world order which is older than history itself.

On the one hand, members of the dualist religions believe that all life on earth is evil, driven by materialism and that the goal of all humanity is to escape from the limits of the body and be resurrected as a spirit for eternal life. Then there are those religions, such as the Roman Catholic Church, which intended to be the government on earth over every micromanaged aspect of people’s lives. They intend themselves to be the gates to God, putting themselves between everlasting life and the material needs of existence. No matter what time humanity has found itself, one of those two forces has shaped all political theater suppressing any other ideas that might have emerged. So what the administrative state, as we call it, is fighting for is nothing less than a preservation of the old order and preventing any new ideas from emerging. 

There is a reason no other ideas emerged beyond those two forces, the dualist religions and the kinghood of the other dominating entire regions to the embodiment of a ruler on earth. Most of the secret societies we always hear about have operated in the background to preserve these orders, and they are hard at work right now to keep this threat of President Trump from emerging again. Donald Trump is an exciting creation of the American lifestyle. This materialist literally lived in a golden palace high atop America’s most capitalist city of New York with his beautiful supermodel wife. He had top-rated television shows, wrote books, and was the face of American capitalism in ways that significantly threatened the order of anti-materialists who have always maintained the religions of dualism, earth bad, eternity good. Trump showed that a person could be a materialist and could be smart about eternal life. He is an eternal optimist, never crying in public and not even slowing down for the death of people close to him. Trump is very much a creation of the Power of Positive Thinking, which is uniquely American and is terror to the old religions of the world who use the fear of fire and brimstone to control people from birth until their graves and claim to have influence even into eternity. That lack of fear and respect for the duelist religions and the king state concepts of the modern pope or some monarchy are reprehensible to the political left. And they will not disappear into the night with a golly-gee, shucks mentality. They will be out for blood and must be dealt with knowing that.

Expect every trick in the book. Splitting the vote with a three-candidate field is the most obvious, but I would caution everyone not to fall for it. This new Republican Party under Trump is something very different from what it has been in the past. Immigration running from terrible conditions worldwide is looking toward the Republican Party. They don’t want America to become the kind of places they ran from. Democrats planned that those immigrants, illegal and otherwise, would vote for big government because of the giveaways. But most people coming to America, no matter where they came from, want the preservation of family, want the freedom to make money, and try for the American dream. They reject globalism because they have seen what it does to communities where it has sunk roots. And none of that is part of the Democrat plan. It’s not part of the Never-Trump plan either. For the first time in human history, something is emerging in America that is different from the other stagnant religions of the world, the duelists and the king-state. What Trump has represented is a uniquely American idea of religion that is not controlled by the previous embodiments of social organization. It honestly terrifies those who currently want to be in charge. These new rules are what the next elections are all about. Yes, there was election fraud in the last election, at least. There has likely been election fraud in the previous decades as well, knowing what we do now about how political parties run elections while they are in charge and just how little they think of people in general. And they will try again. But what’s different now and likely for the first time is that people are aware of the problem and act honestly in their own self-interest. That self-interest was defined by one of those two previous religious ideologies. But now, there is an American stamp on it that transcends all the aforementioned controls and the administrative state in the halls of institutionalism that had run the terror. They don’t know what to do to hold on to power when so many people continue to turn to Trump for a change, a change away from them and their rules. And to maintain their illusions, don’t underestimate them at all. Because they will do anything to keep power. Cheating in elections is just the tip of the iceberg.

Bad, Mad Moms Can’t Rule Anything, Especially in Politics: What the real anger towards Darbi Boddy at Lakota indicates

I usually wouldn’t care, but as I’ve said many times, I support Darbi Boddy, who is a Lakota school board member, and there are a lot of mad moms and some strangely testosterone-free dads who just absolutely hate her and are petitioning to remove her from the board with a signature drive. So I’ve been reading some of the comments and listening to their complaints about Darbi more than I otherwise would to see if there is anything to their anger. Of course, there isn’t. Much of what they don’t like Darbi over is the result of their own terrible parenting, which requires some point of reference to consider. First of all, the attempt to remove a school board member with a petition drive is a steep hill. No matter how many signatures they gather, there were still 8 thousand people who had just put her in office, and a judge would ultimately have to rule on the action. So, just because there are a lot of mad moms signing a petition, that doesn’t mean they have any power to remove Darbi from her position, no matter how many of them sign a piece of paper. But let’s forget about that for this article and consider what they are so mad at, why they are angry with her, then consider what impact such people have on government in general. This situation with Darbi Boddy is just one local example of a much bigger problem that creates a lot of noise in all government interaction, the mad mom activist and the reasons they lobby government to compensate their children for the things that they, as parents, should be giving them. When you listen carefully to their complaints about Darbi Boddy, psychologically, what we really hear from them is nothing that Darbi has done but that they are planting a seed of discontent that will put the blame for their own bad parenting on a politician or a school. They crave more centralized authority to mask their own parental inadequacies.

I personally think motherhood is the most important job on planet earth. There is nothing else that comes close to the importance of motherhood. There is no CEO job or President of the United States that has a more important job than a mom in a family. She gives children everything they will ever be; if she does a bad job, the kids will be screwed up for life. It’s a big responsibility, and I think we should support moms much more than we do as a society. But, saying all that, often, moms are just kids themselves. As 20-somethings and 30-somethings, about to the age of 40, people just don’t have enough emotional development to have all the wisdom that children require. Motherhood is tricky business; in the beginning of a child’s life, it’s easy to know whether or not a mom is doing a good job.   Kids need everything when they are born. So if a mom keeps a child from crying, then they could be said to have success in their task. If they are there to help teach the child to walk, dress themselves, and can keep them from crying, because that’s all kids know to do when they are born, then a mom can say to herself that she is a good mom. But, at about age five, that entire relationship changes, and most parents don’t adapt. This second part of the job of raising a child is much more difficult, and most parents, especially in the kind of society we have these days, are not prepared for the task. 

From ages 5 to 15, children need wisdom from their parents, especially their moms. They need to learn to start managing risk and to advance their intellect through many minor bumps and bruises, which will then instruct them how to solve problems when they are adults. But too often, moms are still trying to keep their children from crying instead of teaching them not to cry and to solve their problems, no matter what they are. Kids need wise advice more than a padded room during this period of time, and it is monstrously difficult for moms to make that transition. I call this the “fat ass” phase, where anxious moms overeat because their own childhood neurosis explodes against the perpetual disappointments of the intellectual needs of their children, and it shows in the parents with expanded waistlines and upsized jean sizes. It’s no longer easy to just stop them from crying; what kids need in those formative years is much more difficult than simple pacification, and most mothers fail at it miserably. So they eat too many bags of chips, they divert their attention to too much ridiculous trivia, and when the children need that wise advice, the mother simply doesn’t have it in them. Too often, moms led embarrassing lives up until the time they were married or decided to have a baby, and all the guilt from that previous life comes back at them now that they are in charge of another life, and they just lack the confidence to give wise advice to anybody. 

Those mad moms turn to the government to help raise their children. This momma-age voting bracket is filled with big government disasters of people who were ill-equipped to have children or even be married to a spouse. So they vote for big government to hide their many faults behind government action. So the anger you often hear leveled at a school board member like Darbi Boddy at Lakota is because the parents feel inadequate. They want government to give them cover for their bad parenting skills, and a person like Darbi is encouraging more responsibility. When she takes pictures of kids dressed like prostitutes in the halls of Lakota, violating dress codes, it makes the parents feel bad because their bad parenting has been exposed. I can certainly understand why it would hurt their feelings, but perhaps it should. Rather than getting angry at Darbi, perhaps the right thing to do would be to change how they are parenting for the child’s sake. Trying to be the cool mom to a child that clearly has issues based on the way they appear in public isn’t going to give that child the skills they need once they become adults. What will end up happening is they will just repeat the process when they have their own children. And we’ll have more societal disasters in government as a result. Those people will become voters who seek to hide their bad behavior, their wasted lives behind more big government programs, which then gives us the kind of trouble we see today in politics. 

The worst public excuse that you can hear from a mother when they make demands on political sentiment when they are trying to express validation for their cause is to say, “I’m a mom,” as if that should say it all. Because she’s a mom, she has the right to ask for anything, and society should do whatever it takes to help her kid become successful. But she should have thought about that when she wasted her own youth sexually reckless, doing the floss at every wedding reception in a drunken stupor to the big butt song, and taking too many drugs from ages 15 to 25 when they realize that their flowers are wilting and they better do something to start a family by around age 30 before all their petals fall off and nobody wants to buy a house with them. Those are not the kind of conditions that produce a healthy family and make well-balanced kids who grow up into success. Those are crippling conditions that destroy lives, not just of the mother but of all her offspring. And Lakota schools, any government school, or any government agency cannot help such a person hide all the mistakes they have made in life with more policy, more rules, all driven from neurotic nonsense. Kids need a mom and a good person who can give them good advice. And when parents don’t feel confident in their ability to provide sound advice, they become these train-wrecks of people you see at school board meetings speaking about what they need Lakota to do to make their kid better. Or they complain about Darbi Boddy and put a lot of attention into getting rid of her with a petition drive. Rather than spend that time listening to their kids and advising them on how to be good people, they instead spend all their efforts getting rid of a school board member so that when their children are disasters of people twenty years from now, they can point to the school and blame them for all the mistakes. But the truth is, the problems begin and end with the moms who never made the successful transition with their kids from preventing them from crying to the wise advisor that children ultimately need. The great crisis of our time is that when kids reach that critical age, there just aren’t enough parents who can fill that role, and kids are greatly hampered in life because of it.

People are innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around: The media often helps the real villains get away with crime while the innocent are prosecuted

One thing I have no tolerance for is bullies. I’ve never looked away from bullies when they show their ugliness in the world, and I’m not going to start now. When people wonder why I get up at 4:30 AM in the morning every day to write on this site and do the number of news stories I do, its because I have a lot of experience with the courts, I have known a lot of judges, lawyers, and media people, and I know how the game of law and order works from all sides of it. So to answer the question that I have heard from dozens of people over the last few weeks when they say that they have noticed that I have been supporting a lot of people who are accused of pretty serious crimes, I say to them, I don’t support criminal activity or law-breaking. If I come out in support of someone in some way, it is because I think them to be good people who are victims of bullying, and when I see it or even hear about it, I will help them at every opportunity. Not to the point where it leads to a trap, but where applicable. And when it comes to Steve Bannon from the Warroom and the false prosecution against him from the Biden Department of Justice, or the Darbi Boddy drama at Lakota schools in my neighborhood, or the Roger Reynolds case of corruption in Butler County, Ohio by the Sheriff’s department, if I come out in support of them, its because I think they are victims of abuse of authority by political bullies, and that is not something I am willing to tolerate. That is the reason I run my own news service in the form of this blog. I have learned over the years that the media is too lazy or lacks the philosophical parameters to explain things the way they need to be stated for the general public to understand, so I just do the job myself. So if I come out in support of some controversy, there is a really good reason why. 

The Steve Bannon case is self-explanatory. I know firsthand how the law can be used as a weapon to destroy people, and that’s clearly what is happening with Bannon. I like Steve; I have corresponded with him on occasion. We both have busy lives and work in different spheres of influence, but I greatly sympathize with him. The Biden DOJ is clearly abusing its authority in prosecuting him, just as Congress has abused its authority in the two impeachments of Trump, and this phony January 6th commission to attack Trump allies on popular podcasts to attempt to scare off a second Trump term. The law is being manipulated and used purely for political theater, and people’s lives are being threatened to be destroyed because of it. I would point to the local George Lang case of purgery several years ago where the very good man in the now Senator Lang was drug through the courts purely to attack him for knowing John Boehner. The target was Boehner, who was poised to be Speaker of the House in the not too distant future, and his political enemies wanted to get to him through his friends. It was one of the most disgusting court cases I had ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot of them. If I live another hundred years, I still would not have exceeded my many personal court appearances and ridiculous entanglements with the law. Just because you are accused of something doesn’t make you guilty. We are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, but in cases like the one against Steve Bannon, and others like him over the years, who are convicted just because they know someone who is the real target, political assassinations through twisted concepts of law and order are not acceptable and must be punished. In the end, that will be what happens coming from Steve Bannon. The bad guys will get it in the end because tolerating the kind of society that would convict him is not acceptable. 

Darbi Boddy at my home school district of Lakota has made national news over essentially being attacked as soon as she was sworn in after she had just won an election. I understand that not all the school members like her or like each other. I get that the administrators did not like the newly elected school board member who asked too many questions and didn’t seem to respect the administrative red tape that they hide so many bad things behind. For instance, the attempt to vote her off the board over a minor incident and to make a media circus out of it was reprehensible. It showed a willingness by the board to undo a person the voters had just assigned to do a job. Then to make matters worse, the school superintendent added fuel to the fire by citing her with trespassing in two of the schools as Darbi went to them unannounced as part of an official investigation into CRT, which other board members were dragging their feet on. What makes this case so bad is that the superintendent, Matt Miller is not a person of high moral integrity. Based on things he has done, he should not have a job, and he only does because other school board members have helped him keep it. I haven’t said much about it because I have not wanted to destroy Lakota schools. I have wanted to see this new school board work. But some people are really afraid of Matt Miller and what he did to Darbi Boddy; based on what I know about him was a classic case of transference, where a guilty party will assign blame to other people for actions for which they are really guilty of. That kind of behavior is a classic problem of liberalism when they abuse law and order to hide crimes they are actually guilty of. But Darbi is not a danger to student populations. There are many more accusers of Matt Miller who would say that he is the dangerous one. I have been willing to look beyond accusations in his case for the benefit of the school and the school board in general. But it disgusts me to see someone attempt to put crimes of trespassing and other bad conduct out to a predatory media intent to destroy Darbi just to protect all the other bad things that I know are going on behind the scenes; that probably should be the focus of everyone’s attention. With all that said, I am very happy with Darbi Boddy and would like to see many more like her on the school board at Lakota. She is doing a great job.

Then there is the case of corruption thrown at Roger Reynolds. I’ve known Roger for a long time. I think he and I both love Liberty Township and remember how it used to be. I think Roger, an auditor for Butler County, has done a great job. I’d go on to say that I think he is one of the best auditors in the country for any county. I think the charges against him are politically motivated, and the Sheriff’s office could not hold up to the same scrutiny they have put on Roger. When evidence is presented to a grand jury the way it has been, they have no choice but to advance the cause. But if the tables were turned, I could think of dozens and dozens and dozens of people who would happily come forward and accuse Sheriff Jones of abuse of authority and unlawful interest in public contracts. That wouldn’t mean he’s guilty of those accusations, but there are plenty of people who would accuse him of it, and that would be enough to present to a grand jury. The media has pretty much thrown Roger Reynolds to the wolves with a play-by-play narrative that clearly is trying to destroy him as a person. I haven’t wanted to see the same applied to Jones; he’s been a good sheriff. Ending a career with so many black marks would not be good. It wouldn’t be good for Butler County. But the case would be much worse if the same investigations leveled at Roger Reynolds were applied to Sheriff Jones. So in that context, I support Roger Reynolds, he is being bullied for personal reasons, and the law is being used as a weapon to make it happen. If the law were equally applied, we’d lose a lot of public servants. Maybe it should be. But this picking and choosing of law and order to take out political rivals, there is no place for that in any society. And it’s a case of bullying that is reprehensible whenever it’s done and is unforgivable. 

Just because people are accused of something doesn’t make them guilty. Often, what it means is that the accusers are up to far worse and hope to divert their crimes to the innocent. Unfortunately, this is a common practice dramatically under-covered by a complicit media that has helped perpetuate it to the doom of our culture ostentatiously. And when I see it, I have never accepted it and never will. We have a very corrupt society because law and order are not respected by those most in their care. And if we ever want that to change, we must see through the smoke screens and the media hype at the real villains who are often the most vicious accusers because what they are attempting to hide is often far worse.
