Control the Narrative, Control the World: Trump’s Speech in South Dakota

I have been traveling and talking to people who live outside the United States a lot, and many of these conversations have been carrying over to many political insiders who think they have their finger on the pulse of the political sentiment coming up in 2024.  And I’m telling everyone the same thing; they find it hard to believe.  It’s all about Trump in 2024.  And I have assured some very good friends in Japan who care that Trump would be back in the White House, as many Japanese are very concerned with.  The strength of the American dollar is significant to them, and they are looking for financial stability coming out of the leading economy in the world.  It wasn’t hard for me to see, but it was tough to understand for everyone else.  Perhaps I could see why.  As I travel and watch different behavior from so many other people, they are very plugged into various visual media, and much of that media has been hijacked by anti-Trump forces.  So, no wonder they don’t see the truth as it is.  When you turn on the TV or watch streaming video on phones at airports, and the media presented is all Trump-hating because that is the political establishment trying to protect itself from reality, the consumers of that media would have no other way of knowing.  So, to bring everyone up to speed, I keep telling people to go back and watch from mid-September 2024, the Trump speech in Rapid City, South Dakota, and the truth will begin to be very clear to everyone.  Trump is the leading Republican to recapture the White House, and all the insiders know it, even if the public has been slow to understand it, and that speech where Kristi Noam endorsed Trump is an excellent measure of American political reality.

My wife and I are at a place where we can do anything for Friday night entertainment; we could go out to a movie, a fancy dinner, or both.  We could travel anywhere, watching anything on our 10,000 different television stations and streaming services.  Every entertainment option in the world is available to us, but you know what we were most excited about recently: President Trump’s speech from one of our favorite destinations in the entire world, Rapid City, South Dakota which is just a few miles from Mt. Rushmore. Trump was planning to speak that night, so my wife and I ordered in Chinese and looked forward to watching him talk all day leading up to his prime-time delivery.  And it was worth it.  It was the best thing on television, and it was obvious that we weren’t the only people feeling that way.  As usual, Trump had a large crowd, and many people were watching as we were, from one of the many streaming services.  It was well attended, and evident that people love to hear President Trump’s talk.  And with Mt. Rushmore right down the road from the speaking location it was very easy for my wife and I to put ourselves in the heart of the action with our memories of traveling to the region.  When you visit the towns surrounding this part of the world, Rushmore, Deadwood, Sturgis, Wall Drug, just an hour to the east, you see America for what it is, which the rest of the world doesn’t get to unless they know where to look.  If you want to see the pulse of America, just like a patient in a hospital, you don’t check their heartbeat by taking their temperature.  You have to feel the blood moving through the body and for America, that is Rapid City, South Dakota.  Not the den of thieves, Washington D.C. and the New York media market, or Los Angeles.  All that has changed recently. 

I pay attention to all news, even those that I disagree with.  So, I’m not in an isolated bubble.  But these days my favorite news media comes from Gettr streaming services.  It was very recently when I told everyone that the most significant attribute of the 2024 election was that Trump started his own social media organization, Truth Social.  And Gettr, which Trump people created, is also taking off as a significant contributor to the media landscape.  Then of course Elon Musk has realized that he’ll never get to space, or put people on Mars with the kind of Marxist governments that the world has been seduced by, including the Biden administration.  So, he has bought Twitter, turned it into “X,” and is distributing free speech in ways that have never been done before.  The traditional forces are not controlling the media narrative, and people, perhaps for the first time in all human history, have a choice in their media consumption.  Control the narrative, control the world and the old forces just don’t control it any longer.  So, the coverage of this Trump rally in a relatively forgotten part of the world, as South Dakota is, was enthusiastic, to say the least.  But if you weren’t looking for it and were waiting for traditional media to carry it, you wouldn’t know otherwise.  No matter where I am in the world, I stream news off Gettr so I’m seeing what many aren’t yet, so the political trends are emerging quite clearly. 

Many who control those Beltway cultures hope that all this MAGA media is just a fad and that it represents a small part of the political world. Instead, I would say that the key to it is further engagement, the kind of people that traditional media has always overlooked, and never reached in the first place.  To think of someplace like South Dakota as the center of all political discourse is not the popular sentiment.  Yet that is the truth of it. Trump had previously, in 2020, done a spectacular speech there at Mt. Rushmore with Kristi Noam that I thought was one of the most significant political speeches I had ever seen. Ignored mainly by the mainstream outlets, it was fresh on the minds of this most recent one, a return of Trump and Noam on stage together that represented well the way most Americans want to see themselves, as morality-loving capitalists and not the godless heathens of a globalists Marxist movement.  And the entertainment options are so bad these days that even with thousands of other options, the best place to go was on Gettr streaming to watch six hours of Right Side Broadcasting of the Trump event in Rapid City.  Modern media, controlled mainly by Marxist sympathizers have ignored the desires of the media consumers and given them garbage that nobody wanted.  And that is mostly what the world saw who were looking for the headlines.  They don’t understand why the headlines are what they are; they are just passively looking at the contents without understanding how they are formed.  But for those so doing, they naturally are going to be surprised that they are missing the critical stuff altogether so they wouldn’t know how hungry most people are for Trump, a return to patriotism in America, a robust American economy, and an optimistic look at the future instead of some dark hole of globalism rooted in Marxism that doesn’t do any good for people, but is the dream of all the central planners and their utopia of the Administrative State.  People, in general, everywhere in the world, want the MAGA message.  And they are learning to get it with all these new media options, which makes it quite clear.  Trump is poised to win in 2024, even against all the opposition trying to stop him.  Because people finally have a voice, and they are using it.

Mt. Rushmore is Much More American than Washington D.C.: Yes, Progressives are trying to erase your country away completely

I hear a lot of people saying things like, “is all this on purpose?” People who don’t usually think too deeply about politics and just want to live their lives are starting to ask questions about what they see going on in politics. Most people trust that the government is doing their business with good intentions, so with the gas prices being so high, the continued worry that some pandemic virus will be unleashed by Bill Gates and the people at the World Economic Forum and that inflation will make buying an apple a situation of bankruptcy, people are starting to wonder if all these bad things are on purpose. That is when I reminded them that the Biden administration canceled in May of 2021 Trump’s executive order to construct The National Garden of American Heroes, which would be a fine addition to patriotic sites like Mt. Rushmore. Why would Biden and his team cancel such a patriotic project even as they sent billions of dollars to Ukraine and their war with Russia, which has stalled out and become a real line in the sand in the global war between a One World Order and sentiments of nationalism?   Biden and Democrats, in general, are progressives, which means they wish to “progress” beyond the idea of America. The downfall of America is actually one of the eight goals of the Desecrators of Davos in the World Economic Forum, so when Biden canceled that Trump project of patriotism, he was saying a lot, especially since it was done so soon in his acquired presidency. Progressives didn’t want Americans to think about their country in favorable ways. They don’t like the 4th of July and places like Mt. Rushmore. They want America to get rid of its constitution and to become a member of a global society where everyone is equal; even all the crappy little countries run by socialist tyrants. 

I spent the most recent weekend at a Fast Draw shoot where one of my friends had just returned from a big Fast Draw shoot that occurred in Sturgis, South Dakota, and it brought to my mind good memories of my time there a year ago when I had my entire family at Mt. Rushmore. It was a day I still think of at least once a day and was a very special occasion. Mt. Rushmore is one of those extraordinary places many intend to visit, but some never find the time. But I would say that if you can at all, or are planning a vacation to go somewhere anyway, to forget about the condo in Florida or some other trip. In these times, go to Mt. Rushmore and let it do what it was designed to do, reminding the people of America why America is worth fighting for. It’s one of those places that once you park in the garage and step up onto the terrace that aligns with the carvings of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln on the big rock wall high above, that the anger of the world toward America comes into sharp focus. Trump, during his administration, wanted to expand on the Mt. Rushmore experience to solidify more the patriotism Americans feel at places like Mt. Rushmore. I bought several books there that have turned out to be real treasures that I have read throughout the year, and it has given me a fresh perspective into all the bad things that we see happening on the nightly news. Enough of a perspective that I say to all those people asking if all this is on purpose with an affirmative, yes. Yes, they intend to destroy America. That’s what progressives want. That’s what the Democrat Party wants, as does the Desecrators of Davos. They want an end to America and its constitution, which is why Biden canceled Trump’s National Garden of American Heroes. They didn’t just steal an election when they took it from Trump; they intend to steal America as a whole and all of us with it. 

I’ve been to Washington D.C. and never find it very American. Sure, it’s the capital of our country, named after the first president. But it feels like a mess of memory and silly reverence to Masonic symbolism. It’s a city built out of superstition with all the streets and monuments tying America to some Egyptian sentiment with alignments to Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, and many others, complete with zodiacs all over the place that reflect a reverence of a new country without much history of its own trying to tie itself to the depth and lore of the ancients. That lack of character is why many who work in the D.C. swamp don’t fight for America but for the European ideas that founded the Masonic order and the kind of fraternities that spawn from their organizations. It’s also why so many political people and financial supporters turn toward pagan memories for supernatural aid for guidance in how to run a country, which obviously they all miss the mark. I say to anybody who wants to know, if you want to understand America, don’t go to Washington D.C.  America is not there. That is not the best of what America offers. But Mt. Rushmore is a monument to America that has captured the essence of what America is, majestic yet remote. Hospitable yet accessible and grand, all in the same sweep of sentiment. Mt. Rushmore is a much better representation of America than its own capital city of Washington D.C. The city’s main feature is a giant Egyptian obelisk, the tallest testament in that part of the world, and it has nothing to do with American pride and spirit. It’s a reverence to Egyptian beliefs as the Masons who built the city and started the country thought of them in star alignments and the power of ancient pagan gods. It’s not there to revere the work of Jesus Christ or the 5000 Year Leap of Christian faith that essentially made America unique. 

On the way to Mt. Rushmore is a little watering hole of a place just on the edge of the Badlands called Wall Drug. It’s a fantastic tourist trap that embodies all the great things about America in one specific place, and it’s one of those places that remind you of the tenacious spirit of the American mind. Built to satisfy the tourist traffic of people who make the pilgrimage to Mt. Rushmore, about an hour to the west, you get the feeling when you go there that no matter what happens in the outside world, America will always remain so long as you are at Wall Drug and the nearby Blackhills of South Dakota where Mt. Rushmore was carved. It’s a culture all of its own. It is one of the primary reasons that the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally is such a popular yearly journey that is made so that the participants can touch the ideas of America far removed from the noise of the big cities and Masonic-created capitals. New York doesn’t get it, and Washington D.C. certainly doesn’t. Miami, Florida, doesn’t get it at all. But Wall Drug in South Dakota does, Mt. Rushmore, Sturgis, Deadwood, Keystone, Rapid City, they all get it, and if there were one place on earth where people could go to charge their batteries in these challenging times with the American spirit they crave, then I would recommend a trip to Mt. Rushmore and the surrounding areas for a week or so. I’ve done it recently, and it carried me well through the last year. And when my friend just returned from a shoot out there, it reminded me that my experience was not specific to me but is common to all people who travel there. So if you are looking for your country and don’t see it on the nightly news, even with gas prices being as high as they are, I recommend a trip to Mt. Rushmore. You certainly won’t regret it.

Wall Drug, South Dakota: Options for a free people

Of course, I enjoyed the speech by Trump in Ohio over the last weekend in June of 2021. It seems like a long time since we’ve seen such a speech, and many have found themselves caught in the snare of the media into believing that we would never see such a thing again, but there it was, and there are more events to come.  The fake Joe Biden presidency will have a hard time dealing with the competition, which is suitable for truth and justice.  Trump is willing to continue doing these rallies to apply that pressure that is needed.  But I can’t say that I was surprised by what I saw.  Before the event, I had many text messages from readers and other people who wanted to know what I thought the speech would be like.  Many were worried that Trump wouldn’t even draw a crowd in the middle of June with nothing political really on the horizon. However, as I have said, I just spent much of 2021 traveling around the country seeing things from people directly, and I can say that the world outside of the media illusion they present to us did not vote for Joe Biden.  They wanted Trump, and that evidence is abundant along the highways across the nation. I’ve traveled over 10,000 miles since Christmas of 2020, where the election results were disappointing on many levels, and I hit the road with my family to see what was going on.  And relative to this type of sentiment shown at the most recent Trump rally, I saw what I needed to see best at an unusual place I had wanted to visit for a very long time, Wall Drug in South Dakota, about an hour east of Rapid City. 

I arrived at Wall Drug on a late afternoon in June on a Sunday, and the place was packed.  Wall Drug is one of those roadside attractions that emerged en route to Mt. Rushmore as a tourist destination.  Their hook was in giving free ice water to the new breed of tourists who would brave the vast plains of South Dakota to see the unique sculptures of presidents that were displayed there.  Over time, Wall Drug has formed into a kind of Mecca of tourism which I had always heard about but didn’t have time to see for myself.  As I arrived just outside of the Badlands National Park, the remote area had been good for my thoughts on the state of our government and based on what I knew of the matter.  I was using those vast open areas to think deeply about what would happen next as the Biden people were caught tampering with the 2020 election, with China pulling the strings and considering what would happen as a result. According to the media outlets of convention out there, nobody had the stomach even to deal with such a problem.  But parking at Wall Drug, it became an apparent fact that most if not everyone were a Trump supporter, and these were people who did not vote for or support a Biden administration.  And the contents of the kind of souvenirs at Wall Drug were blatant proclamations to that evidence.

Wall Drug was much more organized than I had thought it would be.  I was very impressed with it; much of the shopping area was built as a shopping mall with storefronts resembling an old west town, only inside and nicely air-conditioned.  There were boot stores, hat stores, stores of every kind, and of course, they had one of the best kinds of stores that I love so much, book stores.  The book store at Wall Drug was called “The Hole in the Wall,” which was quite nice.  They had a wonderful collection of books that featured the Wild West.  I had read many of them, but there were others I hadn’t even known about, so my book collection expanded a lot that day.  But more importantly, as I was picking out stacks of new books to purchase there, I was looking out the window to the people moving about outside, and I had a moment of patriotism.  To perform the cheat and steal that our current government had attempted with Biden and a partnership with foreign, hostile agents such as China, people must be dumb.  That is why cultures that do have government overthrows ban books because they don’t want people thinking.   They want them dumb and easy to control. And here I was on the outskirts of the Badlands, in the middle of nowhere really, an hour away from a significant city buying books with many thousands of people doing similar things free to do and think what they want.  Such a bookstore existed, away from the social controls of Amazon or other progressive policies where brick and mortar stores are constantly being attacked financially.  Here was a book store that could exist because of the success of Wall Drug as a “tourist trap” along the highway.  So long as people like me and you can go to a store like that and buy books about history and know truth from falsehoods given by insurgent governments, America would continue to prosper. 

The people at Wall Drug for the two days I was there with my family were free and not concerned with what Joe Biden was doing lately.  To them, he was not their president.  Trump was, and they were waiting for him to be president again.  Or if not Trump, then someone else like him, like a Ron DeSantis or a Kristi Noem.  We went back for a second trip to Wall Drug after visiting the Badlands the next day because we enjoyed it so much, we wanted to get the grandkids some ice cream and more gift shop items.  I kept trying to imagine what the people at Davos would think of Wall Drug. I’m sure it’s beyond their comprehension that Americans like such places, that they make such places, and that people buy books and ice cream with such easy concern as people use the restroom.  These were not people so easily controlled.

In the middle of nowhere, there was so much wealth created and that there was no central control of the vast area that the appeal was that Wall Drug was so unregulated, and that made it fun to go to.  It was loose and vibrant and well beyond the comprehension of the typical corporate globalist.  So long as people could go to such a place and buy books, there was no way to control America or take it over and turn it into a globalist regime centralized by the United Nations to exist under the control of infantile minds far removed from South Dakota.  Wall Drug was a place in and of itself. It represented a people resilient and impatient toward government corruption. It was a reminder that when governments fail, people will pack up and take their concerns to the middle of nowhere to be away from the government.  And once government chases them to the ends of the earth to control them, and there is nowhere else to retreat to, those people will fight. They’ll vote for Trump or someone else.  And if that doesn’t work, they’ll turn to God and their guns.  They won’t be surrendering to foreign interests.
