The Great Westerns of Taylor Sheridan: From a perspective of the world, something very unique is going on in America

As of recently, in 2024, it’s true. I had never watched Yellowstone or any of the spinoff shows featured on Paramount Plus but has now been moved onto the Peacock streaming services and NBC as a primetime option.  Yellowstone is one of our current time’s most popular television shows, and I was curious about it.  But my wife and I have not had the time to watch it.  From what I saw of Kevin Costner, who is one of the stars, is that he’s too lefty for me.  And with Taylor Sheridan being a Hollywood actor, I wasn’t interested in watching those types of people make a modern western.  So I put it on hold.  After watching it recently and catching up on many of the shows and spinoffs, especially the Western series 1883, 1923, and Bass Reeves, I can say that there are liberalisms in them I don’t like at all, such as language and sex.  The families are too dysfunctional even though they crave not to be, which naturally comes from the messed up minds of Democrats, who then grow up to be actors, writers, and directors.  One thing that turned me off was that during the production of the show a few years ago, while Yellowstone was at its height of power, as everyone knew what kind of show it was at all levels of production, especially from financing, Kevin Costner showed support for Liz Cheney over President Trump.  So I blew off the whole effort as just another work by a bunch of lefty Hollywood types and did other things.  However, so many people have been talking to me about it and wondering if I dressed the way I do because of the show, that I finally decided to catch up to everything. I can say that it is an excellent show.  A lot is going on.  But as a work of art, our culture is screaming out for attention and respect in so many exciting ways that I think Taylor Sheridan has stumbled onto something significant, and he can’t make enough shows fast enough to fill the need out there. 

Uniquely, I travel a lot and often find myself on the other side of the world watching Asian television.  And all through Europe, they love on television American westerns.  It’s only in America these days that Westerners have been looked down on because there is a genuine Marxist push to destroy our culture, starting with the things we enjoy about it.  But I’m not saying what I do about Westerns because it’s only a regional perspective.  I’ve seen what the rest of the world does in art, entertainment, and literature.  For instance, on television in Japan currently, there is a series called The Tale of Genji, a trendy book from Kyoto about a lady waiting during the 11th century.  I watched some of it in my hotel rooms and what I could stream from referrals by friends.  I enjoyed it enough to grab and read the book while traveling through airports on some of those long layovers.  So when I say that Yellowstone is great, it’s within the context of the world, not just from an American perspective.  Some significant themes are being explored in these Taylor Sheridan shows that are important to the perpetuation of the human race, and some real soul-searching is going on in them that can’t be overlooked.  And I think they are just fantastic and reflect something I have considered since Joe Biden was put in office in 2021. 

Westerns can save America, which I discuss in my book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business.  Classic American Westerns, whom I had been referring to, would do just fine if America had ever lost its way, which we are in an age where that has actually happened.  I talk about often that after that horrendous election, my wife and I many times, sometimes with our entire family, packed up and traveled all over the Wild West to reacquaint ourselves with America because it was obviously under attack, and I needed to understand what the heck we were fighting for.  I have a few souvenir cups I use around the house, one from Wall Drug out in South Dakota, one of my favorite places on earth, and another from The Big Texan, from Amarillo, Texas, and my grandkids like seeing them and thinking about their travels with us to those places.  And maybe the Yellowstone show means more to us because we have been to the places where the show talks about, from the Yellowstone park itself to the vast areas of West Texas.  I finished writing my book while on the road in Roswell, New Mexico, and we traveled a lot around West Texas while the rest of the country was on lockdown due to COVID-19.  I also gained an appreciation for the backbone of America, especially when compared to my experience around the world.  My opinions about these things didn’t just come out of nowhere but were formed from experience; by the way, Taylor Sheridan moved from Hollywood, bought a ranch in Texas, and started thinking about the contents of these television shows.  His work is uniquely American and timely, and there is a genuine love in his work for the discussion.  I wouldn’t say that these shows are making the MAGA movement for which President Trump is the spokesman.  However, all of them spawn from the same concerns of American citizens, and these shows capture that sentiment perfectly.  Probably unintentionally, but they are all part of a process of Americans working out what has happened to them over the last hundred years. 

I watched a recent podcast with Joe Rogan and Taylor Sheridan talking about one of the spinoff shows, 1883, and how good it was.  People forget a lot about why the West had to be won, and I think Taylor Sheridan is a lot more sympathetic to the American Indian than I am.  But he tells good, honest stories about the natural history of the American West and how the American government wanted immigrants to populate Western expansion to fulfill the idea of Manifest Destiny.  It’s interesting; most of the world was so oppressed by old-world rules and regulations that they would have done about anything for the prospect of free land in the vast spans of the American West.  They didn’t always know they were going to have to fight Indians for that free land, but it says a lot about human beings that they were willing to fight just for the opportunity to be free of corrupt governments always in their daily lives, the kind of communism we see in Europe and Asia to this day, or the aristocratic kingdoms of that western expansion period.  The story is not about how the Indians were killed for their land as much as it is about why people wanted to flee every corner of the world, and still do to this day, to get away from micromanaging governments and to have a chance to be free.  At the core of the modern Taylor Sheridan westerns is the theme of all his shows, and the conflict that happens along the way is compelling and exciting to all human beings.  But we are waking up to honesty about everything that always needed to happen and wasn’t talked about enough in previous westerns that are unique to these Taylor Sheridan projects, where they are coming from a Democrat perspective and migrating to a classic Republican platform politically.  And I see a lot of hope for the future because of these creative efforts and the way people yearn for them with great fanfare.  And they are certainly worth watching!

President Trump and the Lee Greenwood Bible: The Key to Making America Great Again

I have always had a relationship with the Bible, starting when I was very little.  I love to read books, and it is one of the world’s most essential books of literature. It has undoubtedly had a great impact as the foundation of Western Civilization.  But I’ve generally had a policy on religion not to impose it on other people because not everyone was fortunate enough to be born in America or under Christianity, so they are already starting in life with an impediment to success.  And I was willing to try the whole separation of church and state thing in the way that the destroyers of the world proposed it.  But due to the way the world is now, and what happened with COVID-19, the government coups around the world, and the general murder of innocent people, I began to explain things to people in a biblical context because that was what it took.  I’ve told the story before, and there have been many times since, but after Biden was put in office and Trump flew away for the last time, my wife and I headed into the desert and did some thinking.  A lot of thinking.  I bought a Lee Greenwood Bible shortly after because I thought he was onto something, and after reading it and sharing it with other people, a clear strategy became very obvious to me, which would defeat many of the villains in the world.  They were exposed, and a path to their destruction was clear to see.  And all it took for us, as Americans, was to reestablish a connection with the Bible.  That is why Lee Greenwood published a God Bless the USA version.  I have many Bibles, but this one was unique, and I thought upon receiving it, that every American should have one.  Within the text of the Bible is just about everything you need to know about building a successful society.  This Lee Greenwood Bible was a great place to start if America wanted to find its way again.

In 2024, President Trump is putting his name behind this effort and is partnering with Lee Greenwood to sell the God Bless the USA Bible, which comes in the back of it: the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, and other patriotic documents.  I love all those things, so to have them all in one place makes perfect sense, as American law was formed around biblical principles.   For me what I had to overcome in the desert that year in 2021 was an answer to what the attackers of America were really after.  It’s one thing to talk about and write about, but admitting it to yourself at a fundamental level is something else.  Removing the Bible from our legal system as a basic foundation was the key to the plan of our attackers, the globalists looking for a one-world government rule through the United Nations.  These perpetrators were the socialist and communist heathens of Europe and Asia who wanted to make God the government, not a reference to a biblical past.  To achieve their victory over America, they had to change us from a Christian nation to a heathen one, something that had happened before in Israel when they had fallen from grace and turned back to the worship of Baal in the land of Canaan, and other places throughout the Near East.  Yahweh was just one competing God when the Bible was written, establishing himself as the creator of Western civilization, overcoming the pantheon of Greek gods, the Romans, and all the deities along the Silk Road.  Yahweh was older than many, but it was a long journey to work out social interaction correctly, which took many thousands of years to figure out. 

Then, in our modern times, the latest band of despots and global crime syndicates wanted to overthrow America and steal all its vast wealth by taking from us the basic morality of the Bible and splitting our legal system on its head for apparent destruction.  And we have seen over these past three or four years that this obvious strategy and its implications play out.  There is no longer guessing what these people were trying to do to us.  What has been challenging is to admit that people were willing to be that evil.  And they have been.  So, to understand that level of evil, a relationship with the Bible is essential in the context of the human race and its development.  The Bible has been the best at communicating those values, better than any country in the world, and the fact that America was built on that foundation was simply magnificent.  The concept of natural law and these ideas were, for me, the key to working all this out, so I was in Indian territory thinking about whether America had a right to impose its freedoms on the collectivist-based cultures that happened to be in North America at the time, and much like the reason God wanted the Hebrew people to inhabit Canaan, the same moral justification was present in the founding of America.  And people needed to understand that context.  The enemies of America wanted us to doubt that enterprise, so they sought to steal our reference point, our Bibles.  So, to beat them at their game put the Bible back into the center of American culture, and it would essentially be like Holy Water applied to the demons of existence.  So, it was brilliant for President Trump to get behind in selling this Lee Greenwood Bible.  It is also wise of him to make this upcoming election a resurgence of Christian Nationalism.  Not in the negative way that the enemies of America want to portray it as a derogatory position where we are supposed to give up our lives and lifestyles to accommodate the heathens of the world and all their dumb gods.  No, we only need to return to the basics and learn from history.  And use as a foundation for our civilization the tools that work, the rule of law built on the back of Biblical principles.  It’s one thing to have compassion for people who do not have the Bible as the backdrop of their entire culture and to be respectful of their beliefs.  But to destroy your belief system to make those heathens happy is not an intelligent idea, only to then have the United Nations redefine values based on a Karl Marx definition where communism makes government the new God and that the goal of our lives is to redistribute wealth using that new God as the arbitrator of justice.  And what the government gets is power and prestige, which has always been the downfall of civilizations, to repeat a cycle we know doesn’t work.  And to achieve that, they have to convince us to give up on the elements of society that do work.  President Trump getting behind the Lee Greenwood Bible is one of the most brilliant things he has done so far, and the media is melting down over it, like the Wicked Witch at the end of The Wizard of Oz.  I would recommend getting at least one Bible to pass out to friends and family.  The Bible is the battle plan to Make America Great Again, and we should not be shy about it.  This story has happened many times; the Bible captures those events well.  And for our present circumstances, we don’t have to reinvent the wheel.  We need to understand how to use it, and the Bible, especially the Lee Greenwood Bible in partnership with President Trump, is a great place to start.

Rural People Were Never Going To Submit to Big Parental Government: The panic by global progressives in what they are watching happen

As I wrote this one I was traveling all over the world, I was in an airport in Tokyo waiting for a connecting flight, and the nature of politics was obvious.  If you only get your news from American news sources and, from there, captured assets like CNN and The New York Times, you probably won’t understand.  But this game that progressives have built for themselves, specifically that some magical mechanism would come along, such as the internet and centralized surveillance, and that they would be able to steer people toward their political sentiments.  They counted on all that working, perhaps, too much.  And if they had a more “global” perspective at the time, they would have saved themselves a lot of pain.  No matter where they come from, most people want the same things, which was just as accurate in Tokyo as in the dusty streets of an impoverished African economy. People generally want less government in their lives so not to slow them down from the things they want to do, and they aren’t going to vote for more government to give them more access to all the intrusions that the government imposes by default.  People would never support life with too much government that made their lives more challenging moment by moment.  And that becomes excessively obvious when you travel; the further, the better.  The idea that people would support more government even in parts of the world already choking on socialism, communism, or some mashed potatoes version of the two, that they would have an infinite tolerance for political abuse, has just not been correct.  So dismantling their assumptions is almost comical, even if it is the end of the world for them.  I have tried to tell them, but they didn’t listen, and this essentially starts as a strategy that was started at the World Economic Forum and flowed through to government attempts of the United Nations.  The planners for all these central planned communities assumed that everything would magically work out if they could manage the entire world through the various large cities.  And that just has not been the case. 

Even as I talk about travel on the other side of the world and the perspective of people in general, I pointed this out after the last election, where I traveled all over the United States to ensure that my assumptions were not just regionally driven.  I live in a pretty conservative area, and even with transplants coming in from the various coastal communities, they are generally running away from big government, not embracing it, even if intellectually they don’t understand why.  But it was easy for me to confirm that no matter where you go in America, once you get out of the city limits of even the most blue-led city, people do not support big, intrusive governments anywhere.  And this realization has stoked a lot of panic among Democrats, who are learning now all too late that people could not be controlled to the level they thought.  The only way that places like China, Russia, and Europe could apply centralized governments with too much authority and got away with it was because people didn’t know better as it happened.  However, in a free country like America, where people can talk about things and assume a smaller government, their natural reaction to too much government growth will be hostile.  And we’d end up with the problems we are seeing now, where tight micro-managed communities run by blue-state governors would quickly lose their power and influence further away from the big cities where people lived. 

Most people are willing to have reasonable concessions about government intrusion if they are themselves timid types who never grew up away from their parents and still have dependency problems for which the government becomes a fantasy-oriented replacement.  So, they go to the government for transportation, price controls, and general, orderly services for their safety and security.  Looking at the situation in Japan, in one of the most populated areas on earth, Tokyo, there are a lot of people willing to accept big government as long as they can get some sense of security in their daily lives, to be able to get to work, take care of their families, and call the police if they had a crime problem.  But this Democrat idea behind the World Economic Forum, that free people would select an intrusive, micromanaging government that would steer society into electric cars, they didn’t want a paperless society that was more of a pain in the neck, making life too complicated when technology failed and being told that men and women weren’t what they were and that people could decide for themselves what sex they were, that these where things people would accept was insane.  And a clear overreach by those desiring centralized planning.  The panic they are experiencing now is that they couldn’t take away people’s desires for free will, even after trying for over a century.  Given a choice, they pick President Trump.  This has been devastating news for much of the big government world, which did not see it coming.  It was obvious to me, and I’ve been trying to tell people.  But they didn’t listen. 

This government ratio thing is not a Republican or Democrat kind of deal; it’s a human condition, and people who do not understand people turn to the government to use the power of collectivism to impose on people things they wouldn’t choose to do for themselves.  That power went to people’s heads, and they were the wrong kind of people—people broken with undeveloped minds.  Parents who had a dependent child-like mind tended to support Democrat policies, instead of someone used to doing things for themselves, as we find in areas outside American cities or all across the world where people desire to be free of intrusive governments, have jobs, and care for their families.  The games of liberalism were never created in logic but in fantasy.  Even the most robust political scientist have found their political theories rooted in the same stupidity as those who told us to wear masks for COVID and that climate change meant we all needed to give up our gas-powered cars in exchange for something that was much more expensive, didn’t go nearly as far, and gave us a lot less freedom.  As I traveled through that bustling Tokyo airport talking to people, most people only saw it on television or read about it in a magazine. The relationship to small government was not just an American thing.  And when you talk to people at the sushi bar or the grocery, when they find out you’re from America, they don’t ask about Joe Biden.  They ask about Trump.  They know Trump and would like to have their own version, no matter where they happen to be.  And you know why? Trump means more prosperity and more freedom for individuals.  It is the opposite of a big nanny government that replaces the micromanaging parent in people’s lives.  People might sympathize with that intrusive parent but don’t find themselves drawn to them.  And so it’s no surprise that people did not fall for the snake oil of big government as Democrats proposed it.  And that the power they thought they’d have over the 2024 elections was not, in reality, what they thought they’d end up with.

Make My Day Michelle Obama: Davos is Planning a Disease X to stay in power

I think it’s fair to say that I hate Michelle Obama and her husband, the terrorist Barack, the former president of the United States.  I don’t think there is one good thing that I like about them, and I see them as American terrorists who purposefully initiated an unwanted change to America to fulfill the terrorist intentions of Bill Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dorn as an extension of their Weather Underground radicalism.  And additionally, through the Islamic radicalism always working in the background that was learned in the “God damn America” church that Obama grew up in with Reverend Jerimiah Wright in Chicago as pastor.  I don’t think, based on the evidence, that Obama was even qualified to be president and that terrorists used his skin color to hide his radical, communist extremism to usher in under the door the destruction of America, for which the Biden administration represents.  There is nothing good about them; the Obamas are poison intent to kill the patient, and their goal has been to kill Americans and the people who resist their terrorist acts of progressive transformation.  And they have been paid well to be those terrorists by lots of people hostile to the American way of life.  I have written millions and millions of words about the Obamas over the last 15 years, and everything I have said, as it usually is, has turned out to be 100% true.   And in many ways, the ways that the Obama family was forced down our throats in the early 2000s is precisely why Trump emerged into politics.  For all those who are upset that a person like Trump ended up in the White House for the first time, they can only blame themselves for shoving first the Clintons on us, then the outright terrorist, Barack Obama.  He was the Weather Underground president, and many of our intelligence agencies who want to see globalism happen with the destruction of America joined forces to give us the most corrupt three administrations in the history of the presidency, with the third term being what we have witnessed with the compromised, hapless fool, Joe Biden, the puppet of Barack Obama.

So it was no surprise, given what we know about Joe and his chances of keeping the White House, that the Obamas are panicking. President Trump is poised to recapture the White House. The world is in a panic. The opening dialogue in Davos, where the World Economic Forum is in a panic as well, is that they need to release the lab-created “Disease X” so that they won’t have to face prosecution from another Trump administration that must pay them back for what they did to the world with Covid. Would they rather kill off the world to save their Gaia “earth” from the parasitic humans on it? You bet they would. In a heartbeat, many of them are legitimately crazy and should be nowhere near public policy. More on that one later because that is a concern all its own. These dangerous forces have been unleashed because we have been too kind to them, and that was certainly the case with Barack and Michelle Obama because we wanted to prove that we weren’t what they called us, racist slaveholders when it was the Republican Party that ended slavery, and we fought a war over it. People with shallow understandings of history thought they had to accept the terrorism of the Obama terrorists to prove they could get into leadership positions with people of color when the intention all along was to use racism as a Trojan Horse to destroy the concept of domestic America so that globalism could take over as the ruling force. But the polling shows that Trump will be president and that Biden has no chance of winning. So, all the panic-driven rants are starting to take shape with just a few months to go before the next election. That will be a lot harder for them to cheat so as to hold power the way they have in the past.

Michelle Obama has been testing the waters to indicate that she might get involved in the election by offering herself up as a candidate because it is obvious that Joe Biden is not up for the job, and Democrats are praying that either she or Gavin Newsom gets in the pool to save them from the inevitable. Democrats and globalists must pay for what they have done to us over the last several decades. They created Trump, and they are going to have to suffer for what they knowingly did, which, in many cases, is far worse than mass murder. I would love to see Michelle Obama run against Trump because, in many ways, it would be a proper payback. After all he’s been through, Michelle Obama is not going to save the Democrat Party from the revenge that America must issue toward its enemies. Trump would be able to destroy the Obama brand once and for all; honestly, that’s what we need to see happen. It would be suitable for Americans to watch that slaughter publically through the election process. I would even say such an event would be the hand of God working retribution against those of ill intent. So I would like nothing more than just beating the election fraud president, Joe Biden, one of the most corrupt people on the face of planet Earth, but the destruction completely of his puppeteer, Barack Obama, and his goon island wife, Michelle Obama. There aren’t harsh enough words in the English language to describe my hatred of those communist terrorists.

Obama’s presidency spied on Trump as a candidate, and these people have done everything except pull the trigger of a gun to kill the MAGA president, and if they could, I have no doubt they would have by now. The best thing about Trump is that as a former president, he has some of the best security in the world, and these are not the days of Kennedy when the CIA could kill a president and lie to the public so quickly. Such an act these days would set off a civil war of armed conflict that would make the one where Republicans eliminated slavery from the Democrat slaveholders in 1864 look like child’s play. The World Economic Forum, the Chinese antagonizers, and every Marxist on planet Earth that has been plotting the death and destruction of Americans know what the stakes are, and we are there. We either have an election where they lose all their power, or we have a bloody civil war with a nation that has more guns than people. That’s why the most guilty are planning the release of Disease X in Davos. They are making the vaccine for it now so that they will live through the release. Hey, don’t take my word for it; listen to their meetings, they are openly talking about it, and if you read the Robert F. Kennedy book on The Wuhan Cover-up, you will know that I’m being nice about what they intend to do to avoid the revenge that is coming their way. Michelle Obama isn’t going to get herself dirty; she and her terrorist husband are getting in line to get that vaccine so they can survive the next virus release, this one much more deadly than Covid, so they never get that day in court, or that embarrassment of losing power after the 2024 election. They are living a good life, and they aren’t going to stop, even if they, and all their criminal counterparts, have to hit the destruct button to keep the mobs from their front door. Because, at the very least, that is what the future looks like for them due to all they have done to deserve it. Go ahead, Michelle Obama, make my day. Watching the destruction of the Obama brand would be very gratifying.

She is an anti-American terrorist who hasn’t yet been able to destroy her target. And she is unhappy about it.

What the 2023 Macy’s Parade Tells us About the Economy: It’s Back to the 80s

I watch the Macy’s Parade from New York on Thanksgiving Day as a measuring device for our public health every year.  I usually comment on the kind of balloons they have on the parade route and what type of music they feature creatively.  And also, what is the tone of the broadcasts, and the commercials?  There is usually a lot going on to report that provides a good indicator of other economic factors that say a lot about us as a culture.  And sure enough, the 2023 Macy’s Day Parade had a lot to say.  If I had to pick a theme that was decidedly a major part of the decision-making process in putting the parade on this year, it was “Remember the 80s.”  Because most of the musical acts and creative selections were attempting to rub off the magic and music of the 80s to bring happiness back to the consumer culture, in the past, it was always common to exhibit very progressive themes, like “gays teaching class,” “drag queens make a cake,” or some similar social intrusion.  But I’m telling you, and Disney is a great example of this; going woke has made a lot of corporations go broke.  And that’s more than a catchy tagline.  You can see in the behavior of most corporations that they are reeling from terrible advice from Larry Fink and the gang at BlackRock and, ultimately, the intruders at the World Economic Forum.  By this point in the global insurrection process, we were supposed to be on another currency controlled by the centralized banks, digitally, China was to have surpassed America as the dominant economy, and President Trump was supposed to be in jail, and have all his political capital removed.  So there is a lot of soul-searching going on that many people who thought they controlled the world are embarking on, and it’s not a pleasant experience for them.  And all that shows in the creative decisions at this year’s Macy’s Day Parade. 

I’ll go even further than that, this Taylor Swift lunacy with the NFL and the Kansas City Chiefs is part of the story.  It’s a constructed monstrosity from a corporate brand that needs something to spark interest in the product, and predictably, because Taylor Swift is suddenly at NFL games dating a famous player, women are watching football.  European soccer has been appealing to this younger generation, and the NFL had to do something, so there is nothing better than a romance between the most popular “anti-Trump” pop star on the planet now, where they play her music during NFL games abundantly, and one of the premier players in Travis Kelce.  I noticed that this romance didn’t start until shortly after Taylor Swift played her concert series in Cincinnati, which is a kind of melting pot of heartland sentiment.  It just so happens that Travis used to be a Cincinnati Bearcat football player, so there is something of a connection with Cincinnati that they both have, in some ways, they are wholesome products of one of America’s most wholesome cities.  Some people measure such things as obsessions.  I believe the matchmakers who put these two together, such as Erin Andrews, played a role in understanding corporate politics through such imaging.  “Hey, you guys should date, it would be great for the game and for your careers.”  Taylor Swift and Kelce go on a few dates, talk about how great Cincinnati is, and pretty soon, they are swapping spit in the shower and sharing a towel.  A new corporate romance is born, meant to carry public sentiment positively.

The musical selections at the Macy’s Parade were along the same lines.  They had Cher, references to Back to the Future, and many Broadway plays with people in cowboy hats, as if they were trying to appeal hard to mainstream America but weren’t sure they knew what it was.  What they didn’t talk a lot about was progressive politics, to the point where it was avoided by everyone involved in the presentation.  At the beginning of the parade, a bunch of Palestinian protestors were blocking the route, and they were disposed of quickly so as not to impact the show, which I thought was great.  The show must always go on.  And if you were watching it on television, you never would have known.  It was interesting to watch Cher perform because she is one of the biggest Never Trumpers out there and would generally be one who would throw support to Palestinian supporters, but here was a 70-year-old all dressed up singing sexy songs from the 80s.  Later that day, I might add, Dolly Parton dressed up like a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader in her 70s, trying to show that age and sexiness were not lost during the Thanksgiving Day tradition of the Cowboys playing football during a halftime show.  The NFL could have picked thousands of other people.  Entertainment had millions of different options, but they decided on Cher, Dolly, and the safe music of Taylor Swift to sell their corporate image.  There were no Black Lives Matter references, no bending the knee at the National Anthem.  There was almost a desperate hope that these corporate images might politely be invited into the public trust again by giving audiences everything they sought and more. 

As I have been saying for a long time now, the BlackRock stakeholder capitalism idea was never going to work, all that goofy stuff they have been yacking about at Davos was never going to be accepted by the American public, and it is there that world cultures trend.  European rock bands and entertainment must export their art to America to make money.  Not China, as the entertainment industry used to think it was possible to sell to the public.  Not Africa, Russia, or Europe.  If you can’t tap into the greatest economy in the world, the one that every economist everywhere should be studying instead of trying to change into a socialist utopia, then there is no market.  And the ultimate feature of that art is the Mainstreet options seen in features like the Macy’s Day Parade.  This year, it was all about an olive branch to the MAGA voters.  Over the last three years of Biden, it’s evident that the public wasn’t seduced into the World Economic Forum monstrosities cooked up under their economic view.  And people wanted optimism in their art again, in their music, movies, and Broadway plays.  It wasn’t that long ago when Broadway was utterly shut down due to COVID-19.  Well, people moved on to other interests, and getting a ticket to a Broadway play isn’t so hard now, just like Disney Parks, where attendance is low.  People didn’t need the corporations.  They don’t need NFL football; all the progressive activism has hurt their brand.  They are turning to Taylor Swift to help them recapture the magic, but it looks like there is permanent damage to the NFL because of their anti-Trump activism that will never come back.  The Macy’s Parade of 2023 clearly states that significant changes were on the horizon, not the kind they politically support.  Yet that is the world of tomorrow, and they are trying to embrace it today.  Their actions are an admission of good things to come that they aren’t all that happy about, but if they want to be in business, they had better embrace it.

The Problem with Peace: When sperm find themselves in the wrong place

I’m not a big Jesus guy, I love his dad. But I’m not OK with the peace and love that Jesus is always talking about in the New Testament. This idea of the Fall in the Garden being redeemed by Jesus dying on the cross for all our sins sounds to me like a Greek and Roman desire politically to control the mass population for the preservation of their imperial perspective. I prefer the Old Testament and the wrath of Yahweh to the anti-ownership and anti-wealth sentiment in the New Testament. I grew up with such religious assumptions, but over the years and after traveling a time or two to Asia to see things for myself, I think there is a big piece of the story in the Bible that is missing from its regional perspective, which is directly applicable and is being exploited in a very modern way. I think Jesus studied the Hindu religion as it is articulated by the blue skin of the poisoned Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita, which is essentially part of book 6 of the Mahabharata. The Hindu religion actually goes back to the days of Abraham emerging from Mesopotamia, so these influences along the Silk Road are pretty obvious, and so are the many contextual references to Jesus in the many war-torn areas of that part of the world that seem very intent to conceal this information. Apparently, the Vatican knows all about Jesus studying in India, and by the time he came along, Buddhism was already 500 years old. So the New Testament starts to make a lot more sense when you understand how its perspective was influenced along the Silk Road, which is a vast span of territory that is mysteriously not part of modern Archaeology and is war-torn even though there really isn’t much going on there economically these days. So why so much war and terrorism?

Peace is for suckers. I love the God of the Old Testament

I find value in just about all religions, even Islam.  If it helps people relate to higher concepts, it’s wonderful.  But we must consider the political implications of faith and how they are often weaponized to rule large groups of people, and that is what I see emerging out of Hindu religions and Buddhism.  Not by device, but by default.  I heard a joke the other day about sperm that provoked all this contemplation that is actually very relevant.  It becomes our business because just about every rock band that we’ve had for decades points to India and specifically the Hindu and Buddhist faith, and says we should calm ourselves down and be more like them.  Even in Christianity, we are told to be more like Jesus, including the Jesus movement that came along during the hippie era, Jesus Christ Superstar, and the Helter Skelter cult.  Jim Jones and many crazed religious lunatics have taken this passive value toward life and become maniacal dictators of personal destruction.  I know a lot of Hindu people, and I’ve read all their religious texts, and I’m not a fan.  I don’t like Gandhi.  And I’m not a fan of Jesus offering to sacrifice himself for the benefit of all humanity.  I think everyone has read it all wrong from the very start, and to understand that, we have to understand the vast influence that the Old Silk Road had in our history and what role it still plays today.   My suggestion is that the war in the Near and Middle East is purposeful to conceal the vast history of the most enormous land mass on earth.  Meanwhile, we’re supposed to keep our focus on just European history and the Renaissance, and the efforts of the Greeks and Romans to create civilization.

So the joke goes like this, and I’m sure many people have heard this, but I think it’s very relevant to these religions of peace that are so prevalent and wrong for the human race.  A couple of sperm find themselves injected into a situation, and they are eager to find an egg for the fertilization process, as we understand these things from sex ed.  It takes thousands of sperm, but only one will penetrate the egg, and a life is born—the miracle of life.  So here are a few sperm injected into a sexual union, and they are looking for an egg.  One is ambitious and works hard to beat the other sperm to the prize.  But there is a wise sperm who is saying to the ambitious one, “Why are you working so hard.”  Of course, the ambitious sperm says, “I want to be the first to get to the egg.”  But the wise sperm says, “But dude, we’re inside some dude’s “exit.”  There is no egg, so why try?”  To frame a homosexual experience nicely.    That is the essential message behind the Hindu faith, Zoroastrianism, as it developed in Iran in 600 BC.  Buddhism as it developed in 500 BC.  Jesus started Christianity due to studying in those many lost years in India, in the Kashmir region 500 years later.  Islam would come along 600 years after that as an aggressive religion invented by the Arabs as a reaction to their continued occupation by the Romans, who went underground as an empire and became a church intent to rule over Europe and the world.  We have falsely centered our study on the Mediterranean region when we should have looked at the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea all over the Himalayas.  Many people were displaced by war, and they had developed a means to deal with its many disappointments—the religions of indifference, peace, and non-action. 

So what are we dealing with here, a vast conspiracy of Bilderberg, World Economic Forum, or Rothchild manipulations who have constructed all these religions to control mass society and perpetually keep wars going in the region to prevent anybody from learning the truth?  Because they want the masses to adopt peaceful beliefs and not fight back against their intrusion.  I’d say it goes deeper into that and was best explained by Paul in the Book of Ephesians when these manipulators were identified as “principalities.”  These creatures work to undo the world God made and stand against goodness as defined by the perpetuation of the human race, as chronicled in the Old Testament, which is older than all the mentioned religions.  My argument is that these principalities have plotted against Yahweh for many thousands of years, and many of the conflicts that are dealt with today are directly associated.  When Jesus and the rest of the Hindus sought to get away from the mess in the mountains of the Himalayas and started so many religions that developed along the Silk Road, they all missed the point.  The goal of life is not to avoid reaching the egg and create a new life.  All the sperm should at least try, even if they are in the wrong place.  It’s not their fault; they should still try to do what they were designed to do: create a new life.  The purpose of humans is to fight and develop as a result of battlefield victory, so in that regard, peace is bad for civilization.  I can understand what Jesus and the Hindus were after.  Buddhism is a great way to manage stress in life.  But like the wise sperm who knew where he was and pointed out the pointless task in front of them, all creatures should fully embrace their job in the hopes that one of them will reach an egg and bring forth new life, either in a physical form or perhaps only in an idea.  But in creation, everything should be dedicated.  Which the Hindu perspective of “non-action” stands against.

When Jerusalem Was a Space Command Center: Why there are wars, to keep power in the hands who have seized it and use ignorance to suppress rivals

Examining the mysterious site of Ishi-no-Hoden in Japan

I find that science fiction and fantasy often contain more truths than what mainstream sources would ever admit to, such as television shows like Battlestar Galactica, where the concept of human seeding on earth was explored, or Lord of the Rings, where the nature of evil in some far ancient past, or future, is the dominating topic, or the Robert Jordan series, The Wheel of Time that was a very good book series that dealt with essentially the Vico Cycle that I talk about so much. And, of course, Star Wars has been a favorite of mine that was set a long time ago in a far-distant galaxy. Not even our own. Examining abstract concepts in science fiction certainly does help us deal with reality much more effectively and provokes the questions we should be asking. And when you start to do that, you can see truths lost to others, such as why there are so many global wars. Well, especially in the hot zone of the Old Silk Road, many of the conflicts we have these days, such as the war in Israel, and then of Ukraine and the whole Russian puzzle with China and other places that don’t have massive economies, but are perpetually in conflict for some mysterious reason. And I would offer that the best evidence indicates that these regions have very ancient pasts, far extending into what we today consider old. We think of a few thousand years as a lot, but the evidence from many sources, not the same idiots who tried to tell us not to take Ivermectin to deal with the lab-created virus, COVID-19, and that there was no election fraud in 2020, have tried to tell us about true history. But the result of decentralized media that is finally talking about real, substantive issues indicates that the wars of our modern times are purely created to conceal a deep and ancient past, allowing a corrupt global network to remain in power over the human race through sheer deceit.

The Millennium Falcon at the Black Spire Outpost

And that’s what I was thinking about when my family recently visited a very favorite place I have, the Star Wars land at Disney World, Galaxy’s Edge. I’ve always loved that particular science fiction story, and specifically the spaceship, the Millennium Falcon so to see a land where all these things were built and you can walk around and interact with them, was magnificent. So, I found that I was able to get my family to Disney World and to that specific place and we had one of the most marvelous days of our lives, together. But there had been something bothering me over these last few years since I had last visited what they call The Black Spire Outpost that I resolved while there with my family. I had a lot of time to think about it, and it all came together for me during this recent visit. The place reminds me of what Ancient Jerusalem would have looked like in a period of largely unrecorded history, around 8,000 BC, when that region of the world was said to have been a space command center for a landing corridor that was very important in the near east area, where many of our most significant religions were born, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hindu, Buddhism, and Zoroastrianism. And the haunting passage from the Bible that I couldn’t get out of my head was that from Genesis 22:2, “and he said, take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.” This action was in around the 2070s BC, long after any settlement of a spaceport in Jerusalem would have been located there. All Abraham would have seen of Mt. Moriah, where King Solomon, over a thousand years later, would build the great temple and place the Ark of the Covenant, the Ten Commandments, upon that exact spot where Isaac was to be sacrificed, in that precise spot. In 3000 to 5000 years, most stone structures erode away into nothing, so anything that would have been in that region at that time would have long eroded from 8000 BC.

My kids

I’m a fan of Zecharia Sitchin’s books. Many people, especially mainstream scientists, have said that his books are purely science fiction and not based on accurate science. Even Graham Hancock has said such things. But I think those are not fair assessments, and I think time has proven that Zecharia Sitchin was very authentic. He has since died, but his work lives on in his students, who have done some exciting work on the activity on earth that may have occurred based on stories passed down through various cultures that are just as scientific as anything else over a roughly 450,000 year period, which paves the way not only for our current world religions but also the notion we have of kingships and even burial practices. After all the lies that the world’s governments have told us, more people are looking at things that used to be considered wild conspiracy theories and reexamining them with fresh eyes. When looked at with this updated perspective, it becomes evident that the power structures on Earth who desperately want to hold on to what they consider royal bloodlines given to them through heredity wish to maintain their right to rule Earth by controlling what we know of the past, so that is the real cause of all these ridiculous wars. If there are wars, actual science can’t do any research because those regions are too dangerous for that kind of activity. I’m also a fan and dedicated member of the Biblical Archaeology Review Society, and I understand and sympathize with their task of digging and gathering evidence in such a hostile part of the world, politically.

How things likely looked, a long time ago. But not so far away.

For me, uniquely, I had just stepped off a plane from Japan while I was with my family at the Black Spire Outpost and had visited the very ancient site of Ishi-no-Hoden and studied how the modern city of Osaka was built around the Kufan tombs that were built in the shape of keyholes, very mysterious.  Going to the Black Spire Outpost reminded me of what an ancient Jerusalem would have looked like well before there was Abraham, Isaac, or the Jewish people.  A mixture of high technology that could navigate the known galaxy, perhaps even the universe that has long since come and gone interlaced with primitive structures and building methods erected quickly to facilitate the need from a growing economy not rooted to travel on earth.  But what was left behind was some remote memory of these actions lost only to telling stories and an understanding of that truth within our subconscious brains, which most of us share.   And those memories are most effectively communicated through science fiction.  Yet, at the Black Spire Outpost, you can walk around and touch something that may well have been part of our far ancient past only manifested through storytelling.  But it is as accurate as anything else—perhaps more.  The wars in the world that dominate much of our political discussion these days are meant to hide the truth from us, which is why I am talking about them more than ever.  Because we have been lied to, we must have a culture that deals with the past to have an honest future.  The reason that Jerusalem is such a hot zone even to this day is that power is sought in concealing the truth and giving people controlled narratives through religion that keeps them in power and prevents people from learning their true history, which is buried under the streets of Jerusalem well past the typical periods that we have always thought of as ancient, but in reality, are just scratching the surface.

The Covid Attack to Impose Marxism: Pull and Push systems imposed through health policy instead of politics

I’ve argued against it for over 30 years, this whole dumb idea of push/pull systems.  People in the world need to be pushed.  When you go to Europe and ask the waiter to hurry up, and they say, “Why, don’t be in such a hurry, take your time.  Make love not war, enjoy the smell of the roses, and drink some fine wine,” you are listening to the effects of a socialist from a country infused with Marxism.  Not someone trying to be their most productive self, and that is the heart of the argument between push systems of manufacturing and pull.  Pushing is where product flow goes downstream and puts pressure on the weakest links to pick up the pace.  Pull is where the lowest links send the demand signal upstream, and everything gets built around the identity of the constraints.  Push systems force your most honest understanding of what a true constraint is.  Pull systems yield to the weakest interpretation and build around that false assumption.  Pull systems work pretty well in places like Japan because they have a society that genuinely tries to do an excellent job at all levels.  But in Western cultures, for many reasons, people need to be motivated to do good things, and they certainly need to be pushed.  Because their default personality is to be lazy and do as little as possible, any culture that does not enjoy hard work is prone to this condition, so trusting them to define their constraints is a fool’s game.  It’s also why we know that Covid was a fake plot created by radical elements of the world’s economic manipulations to convert the world to Marxism hidden behind a health crisis manufactured in a Wuhan lab in China during a critical election year.  How do we know, well, by economic measures. 

I’ve been talking about a recent trip I took my family on to Disney World, which was a long time in the planning phase.  In 2019, my wife and I took a scouting trip there to plan for the larger group: our kids, grandkids, husbands, dogs, lodging, and various factors.   Of course, as soon as we returned, COVID-19 hit, and it has been nearly four years to get everything back on schedule.  Due to Covid rules at Disney, such as social distancing and mask mandates, they were very slow to return to normal, and we weren’t going to go until that happened.  Some of my kids are so anti-mask and anti-vaccine that anything close to those regulations at Disney World was a hard pass, no.  So we had to wait a while for Disney to get its act together, and this year of 2023 was the first year of that normalcy.  Disney is an excellent example because it’s a uniquely American economic experience, so it’s a good barometer for general economic behavior, and measuring from 2019 to 2023 was an excellent way to compare before-COVID and after-COVID realities.  And what I was able to see easily was obvious in supply chains across the world.  Hidden in the health policies of COVID was outright Marxism that is still permeating the employee marketplace.  What we ended up with in 2023 was a lot of the Democrat policies that were only talked about in 2019, such as wage rates.  After COVID-19, employers had to throw money at employees to get them to come to work because COVID-19 had destroyed the value system entirely for all employees.  Why go to work when the government would pay you to stay home?  And why work harder if the wage rates were artificially propped up for everyone?  Even now, too many employees still want to work from home because they fear they have Covid, leaving employers stuck trying to fill production gaps with new weak links in the supply chain, not knowing if people are going to show up for work, and what they could do about it.

It was clear Disney was suffering from this very problem: their lines were less productive, their employees were much less engaged, and many things were broken that wouldn’t have been damaged or long in 2019.  I went to several restaurants selling souvenir glasses, expecting to buy them, only to be told they were out of stock and they had no idea when they would be.  In 2019, that wouldn’t have been the answer.  Even for Disney they were having difficulty getting parts of their supply chain to perform reliably.  And, of course, they were dealing with the same staffing shortages the rest of the world was: people who didn’t show up for work, believing that COVID recommendations would still get them out of work as good as a doctor’s note.  And there was nothing they could say about it.  The new message from Disney, which wasn’t the case in 2019, was that it would be expensive to vacation there.  And we will do our best.  Instead of expecting the best, they’d at least try.  It was that old Marxism acceptance of yielding to constraints instead of pushing them through competition to solve those problems.  And Covid was the means of forcing mass society to accept those constraints.  Previously, the supply chain would be pushed to ensure the market’s satisfaction.  Now, the market would have to wait and be happy with it.

People have been slow to admit to themselves that COVID was a weapon of global Marxism to do what they couldn’t do politically through health policy.  Yet the proof is everywhere, and behind some blatant lies of Bidenomics trying to hide horrendous economic news is the imposed Marxism that has slid under the door to just about every part of the global economy.  I see it everywhere. I just traveled through the Toronto International Airport, where they were trying to rid themselves of any memory of Covid policy, yet their employees were still functioning from the call-off effects, the unstable management of their workforce, and knowing who was going to be at work, how long they’d be there, and whether or not they could even hire enough people to staff their positions.  The holes were evident, and everyone was supposed to look the other way and pretend everything was fine, just like at Disney, and not even ask the question.  The world had imposed on it during COVID this Marxist pull system where the constraints were artificially created to serve that radical economic theory.  It wasn’t voted for; it was built into the COVID policy from the beginning and was undoubtedly one of its goals, which nobody saw coming.  But because of that aspect alone, there should be massive prosecutions of everyone who played their part in this global insurrection.  The evidence has been left behind and is evident to those with the eyes to see it.  And it was never about health.  Marxism was always the motivation for COVID-19, and it still lingers economically until people wise up to it and scrap the entire footprint it has left behind.  That’s a hard admission for many, but the reality is that for a proper economy to work genuinely, Marxism must be pushed out of it.  And until that happens, we will be left with a less-than-optimal economy and a general state of unhappiness always associated with Marxism.

King Solomon’s Great Mistake: The Keyhole tombs of Japan and lessons learned in fighting demons

Every time I go to Japan, it becomes more and more evident to me that the Kofan tombs, the many thousands of keyhole tombs in Japan, are the direct result of interactions with cultures of the Near East around 100 AD to 300 AD, which happened to be the time that the book The Testament of Solomon was written and was one of the books considered to be put into the Bible under the guidance of the Romans after the Greeks had preserved the stories over the previous 1000 years. Because Japan is an exciting culture that pays excellent reverence to its past, they have kept it better than in the West, so a window into periods of history becomes very obvious. Even though there is little to no archaeology occurring to explore the contents of these giant mounds built in the form of a keyhole, their dating points to a global culture that had a particular obsession with demons and how that spirit world rules over the minds of humanity, something that is just as concerning today as it would have been in times past. Talking to the modern Japanese, the considered wisdom from their culture points directly to their management of the spirit world through Shinto Buddhism, where they seek to utilize a relationship with the Kami, spirit creatures who roam about and work permanently in the background. In the Near East, in the times of the Bible or the Quran, we would call them Jinn, or “Genies.” In the West, we’d call them demons. And if you avoid assuming that everything over time was regional, the best window into that particular period and why they believe what they do can be reported from King Solomon himself in his book that never entirely made it into the official Bible, The Testament of Solomon.

In that book, Solomon, the great king of Yahweh, forms a relationship with a unique ring that God gave him to manage a pantheon of demons, and part of the signet was a keyhole symbol, according to legend. Solomon could use the ring to lock up the spirits and put them to work in building the great temple. However, by the end of the book, Solomon, in his never-ending quest to indulge in his sexual conquest of many thousands of women, finds one that refuses to sleep with him unless he grinds together five grasshoppers and dedicates their destruction to her god Moloch. So, Solomon does this, which makes God very angry, and essentially ends the line of kings created by the line of Abraham as the experiment to find a righteous people blew up in Yahweh’s face. At that point, the Hebrew people are doomed, the sons of Solomon are punished for their father’s transgressions, and Nebuchadnezzar soon follows to destroy the people of Israel and cast them into captivity once again. The mistake most commonly made by everyone is assuming that this Testament of Solomon is a regional story, not a global one. But I have a few maps that show the reach of King Solomon’s empire at the height of it, and it doesn’t take much creative thought to see that trade to make that empire so vast was extending into the New World, specifically the Amazon River Valley, and it spread to the East as far as it could go, Japan.

When you travel around modern-day Osaka, these keyhole tombs don’t look like much but a clump of trees in very packed urban settings. They are everywhere; some are much larger than others. But they remind me a lot of the various Indian mounds from North America, the same ones I have been saying contain the bones of a giant species of people, which is also not seeing much archaeology being done to investigate appropriately. Such a reach for the empire of Solomon is not unrealistic, traveling thousands of miles from Japan to the Middle East over a thousand years. Ironically, modern Japan’s relationship with demons of the spirit world is best captured by the work of the Near East writers, whether Arab, Greek, or Roman, or caretakers of the Indus Valley. The point is that people talk, and over the years, these stories took on a life of their own, but their point of origin was the empire of Solomon before being wiped away by a rival faction in Babylon. Solomon couldn’t have hoped to obtain such wealth without creating many enemies, and he had God’s protection with that ring as long as he was loyal to God, which allowed him to defeat his enemies and conquer many global territories. That is until he went too far by sleeping with women who worshipped all those previous gods, like Moloch and Baal, which still work in the background to this very day around the efforts of globalism. These interesting problems are best studied in cultures like Japan but still show signs of their practice. Because Japan has been protecting itself culturally from the effects of globalism, by fully embracing tradition the way they do, we can get a view into our past in ways that wouldn’t otherwise be possible. If the mistake of assuming that Japan was always a regional culture can be avoided, more evidence of the truth can be utilized.

The giveaway to this global culture is in the site down the road from Osaka at Ishi-no-Hoden, one of the great megalithic sites in Japan and one of their current top three mystery sites. The dating for this gigantic rock that was in the process of being cut from the mountain is all over the place, with some of them dating back to 14,000 years, which would have put it in the Ice Age. During the Ice Age, these archaeological sites around Japan would have been the high ground as the entire Osaka Bay would have been drained of water, and a new oceanfront would have extended to the east, where many ancient temples are beginning to be discovered, now submerged. This is the same global culture working the stone at Easter Island, all over the Americas, and, of course, in the British Isles. Why an ancient people would go to such trouble isn’t the point, but what was is that there was a desire to work with such significant stone monuments, the same as was seen in the Near East at times before and after King Solomon for similar motivations. So, to assume that these are cultures in isolation is to do them a disservice. Therefore, to learn from history, we can look to the windows we do have, such as in the Testament of Solomon and the Kofan tombs all over Japan, and arrive at some very accurate understandings of how the people of the past dealt with malicious spirits in the politics of quantum physics. Whether we call them demons, jinn, or Kami, the modern Japanese people have been successful in managing those relationships, whereas people in the West have been seduced much as Solomon was, with the grasshoppers into throwing away everything, to sleep with another woman, especially when he had thousands of others he could have picked from. The lessons transcend time and are most apparent when visiting modern Japan, which has not used contemporary politics as a great eraser. We can still see some of the evidence left behind.

I think this map is much bigger

The Marxism in Our Finance Industry: Teaching people to smell their own bad breath

The answer to where all the dumb ideas come from is now quite obvious, the finance industry is dripping wet with Marxism and has now for many years.  It gets hidden behind polite conversation and golf games, but fundamentally, the entire industry is functioning from Marxist inspiration, from the works of Karl Marx and not the great work of Adam Smith from The Wealth of Nations.  So when you have the question, where do all these dumb ideas come from? Well, it’s relatively easy; it comes from what people are willing to do to get money from those who have it.  Personal politics are not so important to people until their financial needs are met.  Until then, they will sell just about anything to make a living, and the Marxist insurgents have figured this out over a long period.  Now, I know quite a few financial types: bankers, investors, and money movers.  As I’ve said many times, most people I know are very wealthy.  They don’t see themselves as Marxists and likely have never picked up a book on Karl Marx.  The grim reality for most is that people only have room for a few things: how they make money and what they spend it on.  Anything outside those parameters is considered useless, so we ended up with the philosophy of Marxism in our finance industry.  When most of the common talk is about golf scores and interest rates, there isn’t much room for a deeper discussion on the things that truly impact our culture, especially financially.  Most people who work in finance are like those who can’t smell their own bad breath; they don’t know they are Marxists.  They know the rules of the games they are playing.  They have no room for the question as to who made those rules up.  But the answer is global Marxists who purposely infiltrated the world’s money supply and have been the advocates for radical progressive politics across the globe, pushing people into outright communism as a result. 

They know that much; it’s easy enough to turn the ship back toward prosperity, just by understanding that more free-market ideas will inspire dramatic spikes in GDP.  However, removing the Marxists from finance is a bit trickier, and it will take several administrations of pro-capitalist growth to implement, well over a decade of work because the Marxism sickness that we see now is so embedded in our everyday lives that people can’t smell their own bad breath in regard to it.  They understand capitalist ideas when it comes to sports, talk about football games, and especially how to get a lower golf score.  But in the world of finance, they are lost to themselves to apply the same logic.  So until we have the same kind of discussions about Marxism and capitalism, people won’t see the problems they are creating in the flow of the money supply.  Most of our conversations have been about whether or not Marxism exists, while all these terrible things have been hidden in plain sight.  But the source of abuse of much power is in applying Marxism to what people will do to get access to money, instead of making it so that people will work harder and with more innovation in order to expand some market-driven necessity.   The tampering with that process by the financial industry has caused most of the damage we see today.

I was fortunate to have just about every kind of catastrophe in my life regarding finance, and at a tricky part of my life, a wealthy and influential figure in the Cincinnati economy gave me some great advice even though he was gloating at the time about his massive power and ability to crush anybody who stood against him.  He told me, “he who owns the gold rules,” as he was about to essentially destroy my life as much as he could because I was doing something that would cost his partners many millions of dollars at the time and put the politics of Cincinnati on its head.  But the lesson was worth more than any money I could have made at the time because I could put into practice ideas of capitalism and free myself of Marxism, which became quite clear to me in this experience.  He finished his advice to me by saying, “And you have no gold.  So you don’t rule.”  And that statement sent me on a path in life that has been very beneficial.  I have a bit of a temper, likely the worst anybody has ever encountered, but I have always learned not to show anybody the cards I’m playing with over time.  So to say the least, I took that conversation to heart and have spent the next thirty years fighting the things that made that guy have so much gold to rule over others because he was clearly a bad guy in the world.  But to hate money because of him was not the answer.  It was the way he thought and how the system was rigged to put money in his pocket to rule over others and not in the bank of people who otherwise deserved it, people of merit who had worked hard, done everything right, and made the world a much better place through capitalism.

We tend to incorrectly identify all wealthy people as greedy capitalists, which is part of the scam.  Most people who are very rich arrived with that wealth through Marxism and controlling markets for that philosophy, not through the free market associations of capitalism.  So, we never see the truth because we start with all the wrong definitions for what we are dealing with.  And without understanding what things are, people are easily seduced into some faulty philosophy that is essential Marxism hidden behind a veil of free market capitalism.  But in actuality, the truth of our economy is very far from what we thought it was.  And these radical leftists who have become very wealthy with this scam of brokering power to government in ways they could never otherwise dream of have put them into a position to force all of society to dance to their whims, to get their fingers on enough money to live on.  Few people are willing to stand for moral righteousness without cash in a bank account.  They tend to be bolder when they have full bank accounts, but often won’t do much publicly that might jeopardize that status, so the Marxists who now control most of finance have no incentive to change their ways because this system has worked for them.  Of course, in my personal story, I was able to get that guy back, and I profited quite a lot from that revenge.  But that’s another story all its own.  The purpose of this discussion is that I found it easy to destroy Marxists once you call them what they are by name and don’t allow them to hide in the background any longer.  President Trump has also figured that out over the years and is setting up a second term to do just that.  And in so doing, it will have quite an impact, for the better, on the finance industry.  So, there is plenty to be hopeful about.  It’s certainly not a done deal that global communism will ruin the world through finance, as it appears now.  There are a lot of changes coming.  But that is how we arrived here, and the lessons learned for America are pretty explicit.  And we can Make America Great Again. But first, we must remove Marxism from our finance industry as a top priority, which starts by admitting that the problem is far worse than we thought.
