The Nature of Snakes and Mice: What keeps the vipers from working against Trump during a second term

Many people are concerned that President Trump will keep getting suckered by all the snakes and vipers constantly sabotaging his first four years when he gets back in the White House.  Because they are still alive and well, we learned how many snakes there were just on the surface by draining the swamp just a bit.  If all the contents of the swamp were drained, many more vile creatures would be revealed just out of site, which is why things look so terrifying today.  It’s not new that we see all this criminal activity and deceitful practice.  But it is not as well hidden as it usually is and this is new.  What will be different in this next term from the first, and what will keep Trump from having many of the same vile characters leaking negative information to the press and trying to sabotage the MAGA agenda as they did the first time around?  Well, when thinking about these kinds of things, I tend to look to nature at how civilization is organized for the answer, and based on that, this second Trump term is poised to be something extraordinary.  And that is in understanding the behavior of mice and snakes during feeding time, and how they behave in captivity as opposed to the wild.  You can never change the nature of either, but you can manage their behavior toward a productive existence.  That becomes obvious by watching a snake in a cage, a little aquarium, as I have talked about before.  And how you must feed that snake with a little mouse put inside to be eaten when the snake is hungry.  Sometimes, the snake isn’t always immediately hungry.  It might let the little thing run around with the illusion of freedom until, finally, the snake decides to eat the mouse and swallow it whole, while the mouse, tied to its fate because there is no other option, looks upon the world helplessly. 

When you understand the nature of politics it really comes down to the feeding of mice to snakes.  The purpose of an administrative state and, ultimately, a deep state is to build a society of food for the snakes of politics.  Easy food that is placed in a cage to consume whenever the snake decides it wants to eat.  Most of the administrative state’s service is to create mice for this purpose, for those who run the political order to eat at their will.  And of course, the difference between a caged animal and one free and in the wild is that corruption steps into play when the food becomes too easy to eat because the snakes get lazy and want to be fed, as opposed to hunting for their food and earning their way in life.  Once a system is built to accommodate laziness, corruption begins to take over the motivation for everything.  Often, the little mice have no idea their entire existence is planned for them, that they will be fed to the snakes, and that any illusions of freedom leading up to that act are false hopes toward the inevitability.  This is why the swamp hates President Trump: the snakes want to be fed, and Trump is trying to free the little mice so that they can have independent lives. Suppose they are caught in the wild and eaten by the snakes. That’s one thing.  But just dropping the little things into a cage for the lazy snake to consume seems cruel and corrupt. 

If you have ever watched this action, and the snake isn’t quite ready, it will stay coiled up in a corner as the little mouse runs around, even running all over the snake.  At first, the mouse is interested in these new accommodations and runs around looking for a way to understand where it is.  But after a few minutes, the mouse figures out that the snake is there, which is a natural predator.  And the mouse realizes that there is nowhere for it to go.  There is no escape.  Its decisions have been made for it, and its fate is sealed by whoever puts the snake in the cage to feed it.  At that point, the little mouse will coil up next to a water bowl or whatever looks like it might provide a little cover from the snake.  The mouse will get real still as if perhaps the snake won’t notice it, and it might live a bit longer.  There are a lot of people doing this in their lives right now.  They hope to live just a bit longer by appeasing the power of the snakes in their lives.  Of course, once the snake decides it is hungry, whether, for a few minutes or hours when it chooses to eat, it moves into position, strikes at the little creature, and begins swallowing it whole.   The mouse will typically try to stay optimistic for as long as possible.  If the snake has the mouse by the rear, I have seen mice dig around at the ground, pretending nothing is happening even as half its body is already down the snake’s throat.  The nature of appeasing predators is a powerful instinct, but for the mice, it is quickly consumed and never heard from again.  After all, the snake has to eat, and God made the mice its food.  That is how nature designed the process.  Corruption happens when the process of hunting for food is compromised, and the snakes are made pets that serve even higher predators.  And the mice have no chance in such a world, which is essentially what our political order is all about. 

So, who is who in all this?  Where does President Trump fit into the scheme of things, and how can he protect himself from all the snakes that are naturally part of the government operations, who are used to the access to easy food that they have grown to enjoy?  Well, I would say don’t keep pet snakes that you have to feed mice to all the time.  Don’t keep the snakes as pets, but set them free to fend for themselves.  Don’t let the government be the cage in which they must be fed from the administrative state a constant supply of mice to sustain their lazy carcasses.  Snakes are what snakes are, and so are mice.  But don’t corrupt the situation by trying to keep pet snakes.  When Trump first went to Washington, he tried to make the snakes his pets and had to feed them.  And that didn’t work.  This time, it’s time to take them all out into the woods and let them fend for themselves.  They might still eat mice, but that process won’t be made easier through the corruption of making pets out of all of them to serve the government’s leadership, directly or indirectly.  President Trump will be successful in his second term because he won’t bother to feed the snakes this time to appease all the swamp creatures that reside there.  There is no reason to keep pet snakes.  And there is no reason to make them dependent on a corrupt system where easy food is practically placed in their mouths.  And it is to keep that food coming that the snakes act in such scandalous ways.  The way to fix it is not to try to make pets out of them but to treat them as the actual predators that they are.

Make Sure to Judge and Judge Often: Learning from Ecclesiastes 10:8

One of the dumbest things I have ever heard come out of the mouth of another human being is, “Don’t judge.”  Of course, we should judge, and we should put up high barriers around the things that we love.  I say, “judge and judge often.”  Have strong opinions and cast judgment aggressively everywhere.  And to best illustrate the necessity of this value, I think Ecclesiastes 10:8 best describes the need for review by saying, “he that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.”  One of the reasons we have the mess we have today on so many fronts is that we allowed ourselves to turn off this valuable ability that the human race has to change their environment.  Most animals in the world cannot come up with such conceptual faculties.  They can only function from their biological impulse.  But human beings can alter their environment through their intellect, and in that way, creating something of value and then protecting that value from the impediments of evil is one of the greatest attributes that we have, which is the meaning of that Ecclesiastes phrase.  We live in a world now run by the snakes of evil, as portrayed in the Garden of Eden story.  There are always snakes; the world is full of them and on many layers of life.  They don’t just come in one shape or size, but many.  Snakes are abundant in the world, and they are seeking evil for the way that evil feeds itself.  So, to advance in life, human beings must come up with some way that isolates the mechanisms of the snake, of evil, in our lives.  In our culture, we have created property rights and then defended those rights with barriers, represented in Ecclesiastes as “hedges.”

We can call something evil by its desire to remove value from consideration.  When the snake tempted Eve, we see clearly that the desire was to focus her mind on good and evil instead of eating from the Tree of Eternal Life, which is to say, a life of value.  For evil, it’s in removing value from society that it does its work, whether we are talking about desecrating our bodies from being temples of God, to the kind of language we use, or even having casual Fridays in a business climate.  Divorce has been one of the most intrusive evils to be enacted in our culture, the desire to destroy the concept of family so that children are left vulnerable in an evil world to the intentions of every vile specimen.  Evil wants easy access to the creations that spawn out of value, so desecrating any of those values is their primary objective.  It is why evil wants people to do drugs to abandon their religions, their families, their jobs, their politics, and their values.  Evil is the snakes always tempting Eve away from the Tree of Eternal Life and into the duality of conflict, which sin always controls by controlling what people value or don’t.  Judging others is essential because it does not allow evil to hide in the background of ambiguity and is at the core of any civilized society.  The Bible contains excellent wisdom accumulated from the efforts of the human race over many thousands of years, so it goes well beyond any religious assumption for the afterlife.  What the Bible does best is reflect values from lives well lived or not so well lived and provide that wisdom for future generations to build a foundation of judgment from. 

And that is why it is dangerous to cut down the hedges because that is where the snakes hide.  And when you cut them away, and there is no hiding place, the snakes will surely bite.  Hedges are barriers that we often place around our property to make sure that other people recognize our boundaries and our values.  We value things, whether it be a home, a spouse, children, a job, or a car.  It should be obvious when studying Marxism that much of the premise of collectivism is in removing barriers to ownership, such as saying, my wife, my country, my family, etc.  This is why open marriages are such a disgusting concept, the idea of sharing a spouse with strangers for the sexual excitement of it.  Not only does it desecrate the value of a lifetime commitment to another person, but it also defiles the idea of a marriage that creates a family at the most foundational level.  So we wear a wedding ring as a hedge to let others know we have boundaries.  Snakes might gather there to hide in wait, hoping to catch someone off guard and stumble into their lair of hiding so they might bite them or even consume them.  That is why we have locked doors in our homes, to keep out people who might do us harm.  That’s why we lock our cars in a parking lot so that anybody can’t get into them and drive them away.  So, too, must we have locks on our most personal thoughts and ideas.  Being open to the world is not a good thing because it allows the snakes of our lives easy entry into our most personal possessions.  And yes, the keys to Western Civilization are creating values and defending them because, in that process, we make social value, which the rest of the world is starving for. 

Of course, there must be standards and established protections around those things you love and care for.  And that the evil of the world will embed itself in those barriers but will keep clear of those things you value because of their natural inclination to hide.  That is the way to manage evil.  Not having standards allows evil to move anywhere and to hide in the open, where chaos can camouflage their intentions, which is the problem of modern times.  When we ask why there is so much evil in the world, we have removed our hedges and allowed sin to hide among us at close range instead of the safe distance of our established boundaries.  We must judge, set up barriers against evil, and cast opinions about it.  Once we listened to the dumb serpents in the Garden of Eden, we opened ourselves to this vile existence of living with and putting up with evil instead of keeping our minds on the things that matter.  And we learn what matters through possessions that we seek to protect their value from the world’s evils.  In that process, we keep our minds on the Tree of Knowledge, on the things that matter.  To best fight evil, we must maintain hedges that keep it from the things we most value.  We don’t open ourselves to evil and live without judgment.  To do that, we become no better than animals and every other lifeform just eating, reproducing, and fulfilling some lifecycle of some cellular decomposition.  To live our best life, turn to Ecclesiastes 10:8 and learn the wisdom of the past to bring value to the future and keep those snakes obscured at a safe distance.  Because at every opportunity, they will bite you because that’s what snakes do.

The Brotherhood of the Snake

I was on the line shooting fast draw at the end of July, and my phone just wouldn’t stop going off, notifying me that my blog site was getting over 1000 hits per hour, which is about 900 more than usual.  Apparently, many people had discovered an article I wrote in March of 2015 on The Brotherhood of the Snake, which is much more of an influence in our political world than many people want to believe.  Since this is obviously new information for a lot of people, here is the link to the original article and some general information about this one of many secret societies that operate behind a very thin veil of social protocol.  I think a good understanding of occult practices is important to understanding political science.  It’s not enough to understand what people believe but why they believe it.  And that is certainly the case behind The Brotherhood of the Snake. 

The Brotherhood of the Snake is a secret society that has been shrouded in mystery and intrigue for centuries. Its origins can be traced back to ancient times when humanity was still struggling to understand the world around them.

According to legend, the Brotherhood was founded by a group of enlightened beings who sought to share their knowledge and wisdom with the rest of humanity. They believed that by doing so, they could help humanity evolve and reach its full potential.

Over the centuries, the Brotherhood has remained hidden from the rest of the world, operating in secret and working tirelessly to achieve their goals. Their influence can be felt in every corner of the globe, from the halls of power in Washington D.C. to the remote villages of Africa.

One of the most interesting aspects of the Brotherhood’s history is their connection to the ancient civilizations of the world. Many scholars believe that the Brotherhood played a key role in the development of these civilizations, providing them with the knowledge and technology they needed to thrive.

The Brotherhood’s connection to ancient Egypt, in particular, is well-documented. It is believed that the Brotherhood helped the Egyptians build the pyramids and develop their advanced knowledge of mathematics and astronomy.

In addition to their work with ancient civilizations, the Brotherhood has also played a key role in shaping the course of human history. They have been involved in everything from wars and revolutions to scientific discoveries and political movements.

Despite their vast influence, the Brotherhood has remained largely unknown to the general public. Their secrecy and mystique have made them the subject of countless conspiracy theories and legends.

One of the most intriguing theories about the Brotherhood is that they are connected to a group of extraterrestrial beings known as the Anunnaki. According to this theory, the Anunnaki visited Earth in ancient times and shared their knowledge with the Brotherhood, who then passed it on to humanity.

While there is no concrete evidence to support this theory, it is a testament to the mysterious nature of the Brotherhood.

Despite their secrecy, the Brotherhood has attracted a number of high-profile members over the years. Some of the most famous include Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton, and Benjamin Franklin.

These individuals were drawn to the Brotherhood’s commitment to knowledge and enlightenment. They saw the Brotherhood as a place where they could explore their ideas and share their discoveries with like-minded individuals.

Today, the Brotherhood continues to operate in secret, working tirelessly to achieve their goals and shape the course of human history. While their methods may be controversial, there is no denying the impact they have had on the world.

In many ways, the Brotherhood of the Snake represents the best and worst of humanity. On the one hand, they are committed to knowledge and enlightenment, seeking to help humanity evolve and reach its full potential. On the other hand, their secrecy and manipulation of events can be seen as a threat to individual freedom and autonomy.

Regardless of your opinion of the Brotherhood, there is no denying their impact on human history. Their legacy will continue to be felt for centuries to come, shaping the course of human events and inspiring generations to come.

The Playbook for Defeating Evil: Lessons from the Snake in the Garden of Eden

There is much more to the story of Adam and Eve’s fall in the Garden of Eden than just the temptation to listen to a snake and eat the wrong fruit that would cast all mankind into everlasting sin. There is a recipe for defeating evil that is quite deliberate. Not to pick on snakes, but they are disembodied creatures strange to the touch, complete with a forked tongue and menacing appearance. In the stories of the Bible, and those like it which describe some version of the Adam and Eve story, the snake would go on to form in Western civilization a definite approach to defeating the nature of evil in human beings. A philosophic divorce from the nature of existence that would form the backdrop of an entirely new way of looking at the world and establishing a moral conduct within it. However, in Eastern cultures, essentially all oriental approaches to matters of good and evil, the serpent, or snake, is an object of reverence, representing rebirth and rejuvenation. Dragons, as they are of the serpent family, are worshipped favorably in oriental cultures, whereas in the West, they are meant to be slain. We have dragon slayers in Western civilization, slayers of evil, destroyers of the serpent. Killers of evil. In the East, we have a religious approach that lives in harmony with evil, a yin and yang approach that strives for balance. But in the West, we traditionally strive to defeat evil wholesale. So, in that regard, in a modern world where China and its supporters, some in our own government, are seeking to embrace evil rather than defeat it, and any defeat of evil is frustrated rather than dealt with in the traditional way that our culture measures it. 

But there is more to the story, literally, than just appearances. Western culture’s representation of evil as a snake has a much more literal meaning. Snakes are cold-blooded animals, whereas humans are warm-blooded. Snakes cannot sustain their energy for very long, so their actions are often swift because they run out of energy quickly. Humans can endure over a long time because we are warm-blooded, and can sustain ourselves no matter the climate conditions. Snakes hide in the ground and can be quite terrifying when they emerge into the light of day to sun themselves on a rock to gather up the warmth of the sun, which is yet another aspect of worshipping the sun as the current earth goddess worship is so concerned. The reverence for Eastern religions of nature worship instead of the conquest of it revolves around this central concept of accepting evil, embracing it, or making a conscious effort to defeat it. The two cultures are incompatible; there is no coexistence where good and evil shake hands and get along. And this is a fight that essentially started literally in the beginning; it is at the core of why all mankind was born into sin and had to make a conscious effort to deal with it. What we are seeing now, as in a modern context regarding the vast amounts of evil being presented to us, in many forms, all at once, is this panic by evil to reveal itself to gather energy. We see them coming out into the light of day to sun themselves on rocks, which is scary to look at. Because we are used to evil hiding away from our eyes, just as in nature. Seeing a snake is a startling experience because they tend to hide under rocks and in the ground and don’t make themselves known easily. 

But their sudden appearance everywhere and often is actually a good thing. It indicates their true condition, the status of global evil as it has existed on earth from the beginning of time. It takes energy to hide, stay malicious, and work in the background. Yet now we have evil out in the open for all to see, and the vast amounts of it are intimidating because we just didn’t know there was that much evil out there, at least those living their normal lives not thinking about fighting good and evil all the time. However, it’s good to see the snakes, to see them out of their hiding places. Because it tells us what their true condition is. Just because we can see something, because we can see the truth, it doesn’t mean that there is more evil in the world making itself known, rather it provides an indication of the truth, and now we are seeing it in abundance, for a vastness that just wasn’t part of our daily dialogue, at least until now. Then our natural reaction as members of Western civilization, that understands the keys to success in life, is not to embrace evil and to make peace with it, but to defeat it. So, it is natural for us to look at all these vast examples of evil and want to strike at it with a vengeance because that attitude is the key to all Western civilization, which is the natural outgrowth of human development.   In the beginning, there were snakes, lots of them. And they ruled the earth. And Western civilization made a conscious effort to grow, evolve, and despise evil. And to defeat it. 

With all that known, the way to beat evil is in how the snake actually behaves. Evil looks scary and can strike fast with its venomous bite. But it runs out of gas quickly, making it easy to outlast and overcome. So to answer the question I get all the time about evil as to why I am so patient in dealing with it, as opposed to some sexy defeat of it spectacularly, like the latest Hollywood movie, which would be far more exciting, is because the best tactical opposition to evil is in self-propelled energy, the warm-blooded nature of the human being, the thinking intellect. Evil gets tired quickly because of its cold-blooded nature. When we say that someone is “cold-blooded,” we are essentially talking about the nature of evil itself and how it can appear menacing, but it loses its energy quickly, making it very vulnerable to those with the intentions of good. Good being a long-term pursuit, a divorce from the animal ways of nature. Evil being short-term, live quickly and die just as such in accordance with nature’s impulses. Can we say that the buzzard eating roadkill is evil on the side of the road due to its parasitic nature, or should we expect a buzzard to develop an intellect to grow its food more humanely even to question the life feeding off of life nature of the universe as humans wonder about such things. And they do because they have developed intellects even to behold the thought; thus, Western civilization was born. And the concept of defeating evil became a priority in our culture. Of course, evil is very aware of this, yet they are powerless to defend themselves from the intentions of good because they run out of energy so fast. Which is what we are seeing happening right now. As scary as evil is, it is losing its effectiveness in the world, and they know it. So, they are panicking to strike while still having the energy to do it. But good is outlasting it and causing desperation, exposing this classic struggle with a truth that we have never had the luxury of dealing with. And the victor is going to the warm-blooded nature of existence over the cold-blooded parasite, which is the true message of the Adam and Eve story. The defeat of the snake is well at hand and within reach. Outlasting evil is the best way to defeat it 100% of the time. Never fight the strength of an enemy if you can avoid it. Always attack the weakness with your own strength, and in this situation, warm-blooded creatures defeat cold-blooded creatures whenever the long game is applied because of the lack of energy that the snake has to sustain itself through an extended conflict.
