The Bad Guys Deserve Punishment: Destroying Iran to free people from tyranny

I’ve been watching everything unfold in real time. It feels good to see some real aggression from the top, finally. Everybody’s talking about how Trump’s inspiration is driving this new level of toughness—hitting Iran hard, taking out Maduro in Venezuela, and setting up hemispheric shielding through Kristi Noem’s new gig as Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas. It’s exactly what we needed. We’ve lived through a very dangerous time, and we had to have justice for what was done to us. So when people whine, “Why are you being so aggressive? Why treat Venezuela like this? Why talk so tough on Iran, China, the cartels?”—I point to the big picture. We tried playing nice when we could, making deals, but the bad actors never stopped scheming in the background. Iran’s always been problematic, bragging about nuclear warheads and funding terrorists. Trump couldn’t walk away from negotiations with them, thumbing their nose at honest attempts at peace in the Middle East. If they’re going to keep sponsoring terror, you cut the head off the snake. That’s what’s happening now, and it had to happen.

Obviously, the Democrats support that kind of insurrection—they want the downfall of the United States. Peel back the layers, and you see China behind so much of it: property acquisitions here, buying up media companies to steer narratives their way. It’s been ugly, nasty, nasty, nasty. After what they did with COVID, the lockdowns, the global economic sabotage—Bill Gates, the whole crew—people get mad if they’re not in jail or tied up somewhere. They have too much money; they buy courts, buy freedom. They don’t get in trouble. And yeah, I still think Jeffrey Epstein’s alive out there. He’s too rich to die that way. Body double, bought-off guards, elements of law enforcement—it’s not hard with that kind of cash.

Trump doesn’t have the constitutional power to round them all up and jail them—he can’t do it directly—but he can attack their mechanisms of evil. The way bad guys use countries like Iran, Venezuela, Mexican drug cartels, North Korea, and even Russia, stirring up Ukraine—they hustle agents, cause chaos, turn everybody in the wrong direction. But Trump’s clear: no boots on the ground for forever wars. We never should’ve been doing that. I joke about it half-seriously, but what was the Iraq war really about? Oil? Securing prices and American interests? Weapons of mass destruction, they never found? Or was it about raiding the Baghdad Museum right after the invasion, grabbing ancient DNA or artifacts from Gilgamesh’s era to mess with human genetics, or hide giants like in Kandahar? Those conspiracy theories floated around podcasts after retirees started talking. People have lost faith in institutions, in the nightly news narrative: “We’re going to war to save people from communism,” or whatever. Yet the bad guys propped up maniacs for decades—Fidel Castro, the Iranian Revolution in the late ’70s as a Marxist movement hidden behind religion, so you couldn’t criticize it without attacking Islam. That’s how they sold it here: don’t criticize our communities, even as they shuffled in socialism, lined people up for food stamps and welfare, turning dependency into modern slavery to the government instead of plantations.

The same thing’s happening with radical Islam—thorny alliances everywhere, causing needless harm—cartels in Mexico, Venezuelan aggression, and China behind it all. China was built by the deep state; they never would’ve had the money without investment firms funneling stolen Federal Reserve wealth, Wall Street manipulations, modern monetary theory tricks at Jackson Hole conferences. It sounds wild because the media calls it crazy, but listen to those talks—it’s out there.

That’s why everybody’s upset about these moves. Iran’s economy is a dying fallout on the couch—they can’t fight a real war. No ships, no missiles, no planes of any worth. They’ve been de-industrialized by sanctions. Trump bombed them because they poked the bear with radical Islam and ideology issues tied to the Democrat party, which clearly represents America’s destruction in so many ways. Obama gave them billions to keep their economy afloat so they could buy terrorist toys; now Trump’s taking it all away. As an elected official, we put him in office to do this job; he’s doing it. We don’t want radical losers causing trouble worldwide. We don’t want cartels running Mexico—pulling people over for bribes, corruption everywhere. We want to vacation or do business there without fear. We don’t want Venezuela screwing our energy markets. We don’t want Iran sponsoring terrorism. We want peace in the Middle East—Jews, Christians, everybody getting along, building lives.

This is what Kristi Noem’s Shield of the Americas is about—stabilization in the hemisphere. She’s moved from DHS to Special Envoy, focusing on dismantling cartels, securing the Western Hemisphere, working with Rubio and Hegseth. It’s hemispheric shielding: choke off the bad guys economically and militarily without endless occupations. Trump’s not putting boots everywhere; he sends precision strikes, missiles as compliments of capitalism—paid for by the best system in the world. That’s how you win now.

All these characters in the background—COVID planners, great reset pushers, China feeders—they used distractions like Iran to usher agendas through while we fought shadows. Peel back the onion: destroy the disguises, pull off the masks. That’s happening in Iran right now, Venezuela (Maduro captured in January, U.S. overseeing oil rebuild), and Mexico (cartel disruptions). It’s great. I highly support what Trump’s doing—I want to see a whole lot more. He’s actually being too nice in some ways. The world deserves this reckoning for 2020: stolen elections, COVID as a weapon, great reset leashed to lockdowns, all attached to global control plots. Epstein, Gates, Russian honeypots, Chinese labs—it’s out there.

If you think that’s all a conspiracy, it’s in the open now. The people crying loudest about Iran are the ones who used these characters to cause trouble. Forget the courts, UN nonsense, and treaties that neutralized America so bad guys could thrive. Time for punishment. Show the world it happens. Use capitalism for upper mobility, freedom in Hong Kong, Venezuela, Mexico, England, and Europe. Lead by example: take away the hostiles causing trouble. Iran had no other intention but trouble since the late ’70s Marxist infusion feeding communism, China, Russia, socialist Latin America—all anti-American, anti-capitalist, anti-upward mobility. They played their part in lockdowns, freedom theft, and using COVID to destroy economies into a great reset.

This isn’t theory anymore; it’s action. Trump’s crushing them economically, stripping them of their covers, exposing them. The attacks on Iran neutralize them as a threat—they tried rational peace, but they’re hostile. Venezuela’s aggression, Mexico’s cartels—all choked off. No more hiding. Democrats and the media cry because Iran was their Marxist disguise, a haven, a proxy to break America down. Now excuses stripped away, masks off—nowhere to hide. They don’t like it, but too bad. It’s great, the bad guys needed to be punished.  And now they are.

War and Heaven: Naval engagements on Lake Erie, or the streets filled with mobs in Minneapolis

Heaven, if it ever drops into a weekday, arrives as an unbroken stretch of time, a fixed chair, and a book that turns the world quiet. Think of South Island (South Bass Island to the mapmakers), breeze off the lake, family close but unstressed by plans, and you alone in a wide funnel of attention, the way Roosevelt must have felt as a twenty‑something wading into tonnage tables, gun calibers, and the yaw rates of brigs that fought when the sun was here and the wind was there. His Naval War of 1812 doesn’t just narrate; it measures: gun ranges that outreached or underreached, hull weights that carried too much or just enough, tactical gambits that cut the enemy’s line and made surrender a rational choice. The book is public domain now, and its pages remain a monument to a young mind doing honest work—cross-checking American and British records, praising and faulting both sides, even dinging the Lake Erie hero Oliver Hazard Perry when the facts require it. 12

On that lake, on September 10, 1813, Perry hove into view with nine American vessels to meet six British ships under Robert Barclay. The Americans had more hulls but fewer long guns; their carronades hit harder up close but could not reach. So the problem was a physics problem disguised as a command: close the distance or lose the day. When Perry’s flagship Lawrence was chewed to fragments, he took a boat through shot and spray to the Niagara, cut through the British line, and—within fifteen minutes—broke an enemy that had seemed in control an hour before. His dispatch—“We have met the enemy, and they are ours”—isn’t just rhetoric; it’s a report written by a man who had solved for wind, range, and morale. 34

Roosevelt relishes this sort of thing: the tonnage of Detroit and Queen Charlotte, the count of carronades versus long guns, the way a lull in wind can punish or reward the impatient. He is careful about claims of decisiveness, noting that moral effect sometimes outpaced material effect; a British fleet stretched thin around the world felt every pinprick differently than a small American squadron guarding a frontier. But the Lake Erie victory did more than win a dispatch line; it compelled British withdrawals, eased the American army’s operations, and re-stacked bargaining chips for peace. Gerry Altoff wrote years later that it also provided the leverage that was otherwise lacking at Ghent; the Americans had something solid to point to across the table. These are the old equations: logistics, geometry, and courage. 25

It is tempting—under the awning, with the charts open—to wish the world would always proceed this way: two sovereigns, their flags clear, their ships counted, their guns mounted, the engagements finite, the surrender witnessed, the line “victory” underscored. Clausewitz would understand the appeal; he insisted that tactics used force to win battles while strategy used battles to defeat the object of policy. But he would also caution that war is never just the neatness of a duel; it is a “continuation of policy by other means,” an arena where chance and friction mock the best arithmetic. Still, the geometry of sail warfare felt bounded by wind roses, by timber supply, by human nerve. Today, the geometry has dissolved. 67

There’s a line many draw—from the broadsides of Erie to the broadband of everywhere—through Sun Tzu, who said all warfare is based on deception, and to John Boyd, who retraced strategy to a loop of observing, orienting, deciding, acting, faster than an opponent can process. Sun Tzu’s aphorisms can be abused, but the enduring insight is that you win before the battle by making the other side missee the field. Boyd modernized that idea, arguing your real leverage is in “orientation”—the cultural, experiential lens through which raw data becomes a story—and that victory comes not only from speed but from the ability to disintegrate the adversary’s cohesion by flooding him with ambiguity he can’t resolve in time. In sailing terms, it’s as if you keep shifting the wind on the other man without touching the sky. 89

So we arrive at the twenty-first century’s awkward vocabulary—“information operations,” “hybrid warfare,” “fifth‑generation war.” The common core is simple: power has migrated into the cognitive domain. States and networks try to command the trend, not just the trench. The RAND Corporation calls this influence activity—planned attempts to shape thoughts, feelings, and behaviors using psychological tools, data, and media systems. Think tanks and war colleges now train officers to recognize the tactics: bot networks to pump a theme into trending algorithms, troll farms to seed doubt, cross-platform memes to make lies sticky, timing operations to poll cycles and media rhythms. What used to be a leaflet drop is now a hashtag cascade. 1011

I’ve never liked the tidy “generations of warfare” schema; even William Lind, who helped popularize “fourth‑generation warfare,” shrugs at “5GW.” But the heuristic does capture something: conflict has shifted from massed formations to distributed, deniable, non-kinetic contests whose decisive effects are psychological and political. The “battlefield” is always on: your phone, your feed, your bank, your ballot. Scholars warn the 5GW label is fuzzy—yet even the critiques concede the center of gravity is the mind; “winning” looks like persuading populations to disable themselves. Roosevelt mapped sail plans; our planners map social graphs. 1213

If that sounds like exaggeration, look at the empirical work. RAND tracks influence operations as a field, from gray‑zone maritime pressure to social media propaganda; the National Defense University has published primers on how Russia, China, and ISIS use platform dynamics to push or distort narratives cheaply and anonymously. Academic work now mines Facebook and X (Twitter) takedowns to chart which regimes are targeted and why—finding “mixed regimes” are more frequently hit, because they are unstable enough to tip and open enough to be reached. The vocabulary is clinical, but the stakes are civic: make citizens distrust institutions, and you win without firing a shot. 1415

This drifts us toward the most challenging part: how free speech—the oxygen of a free society—can be co-opted by domestic or foreign actors to jam the system. In an older war, “sedition” took the form of armed conspiracy; in a borderless conflict, the line between protected protest and unlawful obstruction becomes the live wire. The Supreme Court’s lodestar is Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969): speech is protected unless it is directed to, and likely to incite, imminent lawless action. That standard is intentionally tight; it shields harsh, even vile, rhetoric from censorship because the alternative—letting governments police dissent—is worse. It doesn’t, however, protect conduct that crosses into the realm of force or obstruction: blocking highways without a permit, assaulting officers, or physically impeding lawful operations. Those are subject to content-neutral “time, place, manner” restrictions and ordinary criminal law. 1617

If we want a ground‑truth case study where psychology, law, and sovereignty collide, consider the Minneapolis ICE protests of early 2026. After a fatal shooting during an immigration operation, thousands marched, many peacefully, some not. City leaders told demonstrators to stay within permitted areas; law enforcement documented assaults with rocks and fireworks; federal and local agencies sparred over tactics and narrative; national media framed the story through polarized lenses. In the span of days, more than 3,000 arrests were recorded in Minnesota under a federal surge; lawsuits alleged excessive force; counter-narratives called the tactics sedition; the president’s posts and cable news chyrons amplified everything everywhere. Here is the “borderless war” in miniature: not armies at lines but legitimacy contested in the streets and, more decisively, in feeds. 1819

What would Roosevelt do with such a battlespace? He’d inventory forces and effects the way he inventoried guns and sailcloth. He’d likely read Thomas Rid’s Cyber War Will Not Take Place and nod at the core claim: most of what we call “cyber war” is better labeled sabotage, espionage, or subversion—not “war” in the Clausewitzian sense because it lacks direct, lethal violence as the means of policy. Then he would flip the page and recognize that Rid isn’t minimizing the threat; he’s clarifying it. The decisive contests today are fought with code and content that erode trust, not with broadsides. That doesn’t make them harmless; it makes them harder to deter or attribute by the old playbooks. 2021

Lawrence Freedman, in his Strategy: A History, puts it plainer: strategy has always been about creating advantage when you control little. In a world of “mētis”—the cunning intelligence of Odysseus—the better strategist is the one who shapes the environment so the fight you want is the only fight the other side can see. Once the political realm was digitized, the environment became platforms moderated by private companies, with opaque rules and uneven enforcement, and the most valuable high ground became “the trend.” Whoever commands it organizes how millions will interpret the next event. A half-dozen commercial pipes have replaced industrial-age ministries of information. 2223

Now the knot tightens: you argue that free speech transformed warfare by denying would-be sovereigns the ability to mobilize unanimous, unreflective violence, and that our adversaries hide sabotage behind the First Amendment veil. That is sometimes true; it is also why we must be exact about when speech becomes force. Brandenburg draws that bright line. Beyond that, neutral time‑, place‑, and manner rules apply. You can assemble and shout. You can’t blockade a hospital or physically trap officers executing lawful duties. Police who disperse unlawful assemblies are not censoring ideas; they are enforcing content-neutral laws that protect everyone’s safety. Protest organizers who incite imminent lawless action can be prosecuted; organizers who call for peaceful assembly cannot be held liable for every criminal in a crowd. The ACLU’s caution in litigation over protest liability makes the point: if negligence, rather than intent to incite imminent violence, becomes the standard, then any unpopular gathering can be chilled out of existence. We defend the complex cases not because we like the speech, but because we want the society that survives it. 2425

Meanwhile, outside the courthouse, the contests spin on. Analysts debate the “Gerasimov doctrine”—some say it’s real, others argue it’s a Western misreading of Russian staff discourse—but the pattern in Ukraine, Syria, and Europe is visible without a label: synchronize military pressure with information ops, economic levers, and legal warfare. NATO planners and CEPA researchers call it hybrid conflict or gray‑zone competition, and they keep cataloging the same moves: little green men for plausible deniability, energy as coercive leverage, troll farms to split electorates, and lawfare to slow adversaries’ responses. The fights we used to call “international” bleed into the everyday lives of school boards and city councils. 2627

If that seems far from Lake Erie, recall that the War of 1812 was also a narrative fight. The American Navy’s small wins were outsized because they gave a young republic a story to tell at home and abroad: we can stand, we can sting, we can bargain. Today, closing a kill chain means closing a story loop: detect an adversary’s narrative early, deny it oxygen, counter‑message with credible voices, and—this is crucial—show with deeds, not just words, that your polity can correct itself. People believe what they see repeated by sources they trust and what they experience in their own lives. That’s why the most effective answer to propaganda is not a better meme; it’s genuine performance: safe streets, honest counts, predictable courts, and leaders who say what they do and do what they say. RAND’s recent work even contemplates acquiring generative AI for U.S. influence activities—an odd but predictable sign that our own institutions understand the fight has moved upstream into perception and are trying to learn how to be both practical and lawful. That path is mined with ethical tripwires; the only way through is transparency and strictly bounded authorities that keep such tools outward-facing and rights-compliant. 1028

Where does this leave a South Bass Island heaven of contemplation and literary solitude? Oddly enough, it’s a strategic prescription. The antidote to borderless conflict is sovereign attention: individuals and institutions that can sit still, read deeply, analyze honestly, and act locally. The more our public life rewards speed over orientation, the more we are vulnerable to any actor who can throw sand in our eyes. Boyd would tell a plant manager in Ohio or a mayor in Minneapolis the same thing he said to fighter pilots: out‑observe and out‑orient your adversary. Build teams that can absorb shocks, improvise, and stay lawful under pressure. Channel outrage into order. It sounds dull; it wins wars. 2930

And on sovereignty as we framed it—whether nations still represent their populations when cartels or captured elites steer policy—the lesson of Lake Erie still applies. You don’t beat distributed, deniable networks by lining up ships on a lake; you deny them social harbors. That means showing citizens that lawful authority answers to them, not to financiers or gangs, and that the ballot, the courtroom, and the market still work better than the street. The social instinct—support internal reformers, protect dissenters from retaliation, expose puppet structures, promise help if people stand up for accountable sovereignty—mirrors the best parts of democratic statecraft. But it only works if we do it at home, in plain sight. When we are credible to our own people, our message travels without being pushed. When we stop reading our own books and start measuring the world only by our team’s hashtags, we become easy to play.

So, yes: there will be carrier groups and drone swarms and—sadly—kinetic fights when deterrence fails. But most of the time, the decisive engagements will look like Minneapolis in January: permissions and permits, street-level restraint, federalism’s friction, cameras at every angle, and a brutal contest to fix the national frame around the footage. The side that wins those fights is the side that keeps faith with the constitution while meeting disorder with measured law, not rage. The country that proves it can do that consistently will be the one whose example invites others to reclaim their sovereignties without a shot—precisely the result Sun Tzu admired: subdue without fighting. 31

When the day’s noise is over, I always go back to the chair at my RV with a full refrigerator of snacks. Roosevelt at twenty-three is still there on the page, arguing with data; Perry is still hauling his flag from Lawrence to Niagara in a small boat; the wind is still fickle; the sun is still low on the water. And you realize that the old war and the new war are both about the same two questions: Who gets to write the story of what just happened? And who still believes it when it’s told?

Why Trump’s War on Drug Cartels Is the Right Fight for America: Blow up more drug boats and dealers

For decades, America has tolerated a slow-motion disaster disguised as “due process” and “fairness.” While courts crawled at the speed of molasses, drug cartels pumped billions of dollars’ worth of poison into our communities. The result? Generations destroyed, families shattered, and a culture softened for collapse. President Trump’s decision to take the fight directly to cartel operations—blowing up drug boats in international waters—is not just bold; it’s necessary. This is not about policing petty crime. It’s about defending the United States from a military-grade invasion disguised as commerce. Fentanyl alone killed 73,960 Americans in the 12 months ending April 2025, according to CDC data. That’s more than the total U.S. combat deaths in Vietnam. When Trump authorized strikes off the coast of Venezuela, he signaled a new era: America will no longer play defense while cartels wage war on our soil. Critics in Europe wring their hands about “due process,” but let’s be clear—cartels are not misunderstood entrepreneurs. They are terrorist organizations, and their weapon is chemical warfare.

Why did it take so long to get here? Because cartels mastered the art of hiding behind our own institutions. They’ve turned the American legal system into their own version of a Trojan horse. Every time a kingpin gets caught, billions flow into law firms to stall extradition, manipulate loopholes, and buy influence. The Sinaloa Cartel alone generates up to $11 billion annually, and much of that bankroll fuels legal defenses and bribery. Lawyers addicted to cartel money are as dangerous as people with an addiction to heroin. This isn’t hyperbole—it’s systemic corruption. Court cases drag on for years, not because justice is complicated, but because money makes complexity profitable. Meanwhile, politicians posture about “comprehensive reform” while quietly pocketing donations from interests tied to the drug economy. The result? A judiciary that moves more slowly than a glacier, while cartels move faster than a hypersonic missile. Trump’s approach bypasses this charade. No more plea deals. No more courtroom theater. When a cartel boat crosses international waters loaded with fentanyl, it’s not a defendant—it’s a target.

If you think this is just about drugs, think again. Cartels are not mere suppliers—they are warlords. Since 2006, Mexico has recorded over 460,000 homicides linked to cartel violence, according to the Council on Foreign Relations. That’s nearly half a million lives erased in less than two decades. In 2021 alone, 18,000 people died in cartel-related conflicts. These aren’t sanitized numbers—they represent real atrocities: beheadings, bodies hung from bridges, families slaughtered to send a message. And it’s not confined to Mexico. Along the U.S. border, innocent Americans have been kidnapped, tortured, and killed—crimes that rarely make headlines because they don’t fit the narrative of “immigration reform.” Illegal immigration has been the perfect smokescreen for cartel operations, scattering enforcement resources and creating chaos by design. Every migrant caravan is a Trojan horse, hiding cartel scouts and smugglers among desperate families. This is not immigration—it’s infiltration. And every fentanyl pill that slips through is a bullet aimed at America’s future.

The time for half-measures is over. Trump’s strikes on cartel boats are a start, but they must be the beginning of a relentless campaign: destroy cartel mansions, burn their plantations, seize their offshore accounts, and dismantle their propaganda networks. Treat them as what they are—terrorists. Fentanyl is not a recreational drug; it’s a weapon of mass destruction. In FY2023, U.S. authorities seized 27,000 pounds of fentanyl at the southern border, a staggering 480% increase since 2020. That’s enough to kill every man, woman, and child in America several times over. Over 107,000 Americans died from overdoses in 2022, with fentanyl responsible for 70% of those deaths. This is not a market—it’s a battlefield. And the enemy is winning because we’ve been too polite to call this what it is: war. Trump called it. He acted. And for that, he deserves not just support but a mandate to finish the job. Blow up more boats. Raid more compounds. Cut off the financial arteries that keep this beast alive. America cannot afford another decade of courtroom theater while cartels wage chemical warfare on our streets. The choice is simple: escalate or perish.

History will judge this moment. Will we continue to let cartels poison our culture under the guise of “due process,” or will we fight back with the full force of a nation that refuses to die on its knees? Trump chose the latter, and that’s one of the reasons we elected him.  Drug dealing is not a harmless, free market enterprise; it is meant to feed the worst of any society, the slack-jawed losers who supply the poison and the diabolical menaces who use them, and make them both the moral imperative of all social structure.  Because of the United States’ power and its successful military, threats against it have taken the form of guerrilla warfare.  They have no plans to fight a direct war with America, but they indeed plan to subvert it, which has undoubtedly been the case of many socialist countries around the world, and yes, Mexico and Canada fall in that category.  They are OK to support a power like the drug cartels to cause the inward destruction of America, and even the lawyers play their part by putting their personal profit over the good of the nation.  Just like the drugs the cartels deal, the money that spawns from it has given significant amounts of wealth to the legal profession in America to keep the dealers out of jail, for the most part.  The drugs themselves aren’t the only addiction meant to exploit a culture to its own self-destruction, and many enemy countries to America have learned to use a much more passive-aggressive approach to military attack.  Venezuela certainly falls under that category.  So knowing all that, I would like to see more drug boats blown from the water.  I would like to see their drug mansions raided and destroyed.  I would like to see all drug assets eradicated and the perpetrators punished to the fullest extent.  Drug dealing and use is not an innocent crime; it’s the poison of society itself.  There is no innocent drug use when the destruction of human minds is the intent.  And when you look at the many socialist countries where many of these drug dealers spawn from, the endeavor is all too obvious.  They let the cartels be their military and chaos their agent of destruction as they seek to overthrow capitalism and to usher in communism as the replacement for sanity.  And in large sections of America, it has been working.  When you trace back the origin of many of the anti-ICE riots in America to its root cause, the perpetrators are primarily drug users who have had their minds poisoned by the cartels, and in many cases, they are proud of it.  The many members of all communist movements, in most cases, also have a relationship to drug use because, in their destroyed minds, they lose the ability to think for themselves and instead seek centralized authorities to do it for them.  And that is the reason why these drug dealers need a spectacular end to their life of crime and villainy.  And the Trump administration couldn’t destroy enough of them to make me happy.   But I am glad to see the intent headed in the right direction.  I am looking forward to a lot more blowing up of drug dealers, and if the Trump team ever wants any help, call.  It would be a privilege.

I Love War: The greatest joy in life is destroying your enemies

Erika Kirk’s statements at the memorial service for her husband were nice, but it has been something that has come up in my direction many more times than a few this past week.  I am more aligned with what President Trump said about his enemies: I hate them.  I don’t want to get along with them.  And I would be bored to death in life if I didn’t have someone to fight.  The idea of going to Heaven and sitting around playing a harp on a cloud all day for eternity is not appealing.  Forgiving enemies is not something I will ever do.  I love war, and I love being in fights with other people.  I love to destroy my enemies.  That destruction either happens fast or it happens over a great many years, depending on the circumstance.  But one way or another, the destruction of my enemies is something that is going to happen, and I spend a lot of my life thinking about it.  The idea of waking up every morning, sipping coffee, and watching the dew gather on blades of grass without having to fight is incredibly dull to me, and I would not be happy.  So even though the concept of Christianity is to forgive your enemies and all kinds of platitudes that I think were incorrectly interpreted over time into organized religion, that is where my thoughts end on these kinds of things.  I may share a lot of values with very religious people, but if there is no conflict involved in communicating those ideas, then I lose interest really fast.  Because to me, the fight is the only thing that matters, and if people aren’t fighting, they aren’t trying to get to the truth of a matter. 

Human beings are so deceitful; they have numerous value systems that protect their motivations behind the creative lies that surround their lives intensely.  That is the first problem with a society of peace: a lot of truth gets buried behind deceit.  When people ask me why I can sniff out so much truth about things, and have over a long period of time, it’s because I like to fight for that truth about people.  The pressure of conflict brings about the truth in people and exposes them from their hiding places.  In my experience, that is the only way to understand what people are all about truly.  Otherwise, they will conceal their true thoughts behind the façade of polite society.  If you love the truth, you have to love the means of extracting it from society in general, and the only real way to do that is through conflict.  People often reveal a great deal about themselves through conflict that they would otherwise conceal.  Along with war, I love uncovering the truth about things.  Whatever that truth may be.  I love war because I love the truth, and you can only learn it through conflict.  Because people, all people, will lie to protect their version of the truth until their dying day, if they are allowed to.  The reason for conflict is to settle differing ideas about things.  And to avoid war is to suppress the truth about what those things might be in favor of some common understanding that is usually a watered-down version of reality.  So the assumption of peace is the surrender of the truth, as people are willing to fight for it.  And that lowers the value of a society in general as a result. 

I suppose this has arisen recently, before Erika Kirk made her statements, because many truly reprehensible individuals believed they had some leverage over me.  And they have been very frustrated by my reaction to their aggressions.  Most people conduct strategies assuming that peace is the motivating factor in a human being.  To wake up in the morning and be left alone so that everything is just perfect.  I don’t see the world like that.  If there isn’t something to fight, then I’m bored.  So when I have a lot of enemies trying to plot my demise, I am far happier than if everyone just left me alone.  Many people are frustrated by my approach because they assumed, like most people, that I would do anything for peace.  They should have done their homework.  Ever since I was a little kid, most of my thoughts have been about war and fighting someone over something.  That’s why I love politics.  That’s why I love the business world.  That’s why I like most things, because they involve people, and those people are often at cross-purposes with each other. I love uncovering the truth behind concealed smiles and handshakes.  I never sit down with people and look for common ground or ways to enjoy another person.  I want to challenge them, with everyone, and to discover what it is they don’t want to be known for to the world.  I never assume that my interactions with anyone will be peaceful, and if they are, I lose interest in those people quickly.  In my youth, I wore army fatigues everywhere, under every circumstance, because they reminded me of my love for constant fighting.  I never wanted to join the military to “serve.”  Serving others was always a misguided idea because what if, in doing so, those people were found to be unworthy of my dedication, which is a common discovery in all institutionalism.  However, the fighting aspect has always been appealing. 

The teachings of Jesus are appealing ideas on the surface.  But if you like the truth of a matter, you will either be killed for it, as Jesus was, and John the Baptist was, and as was Charlie Kirk, and many others.  Or you will have to fight everyone, and like it.  And that means everyone, because most people are very deceitful even within their families.  There are plenty of fights, and if you want to know the truth about things, you’d better be willing to fight for it.  Fighting is more than just the physical aspect, because humans are very emotional creatures; they create many layers of deceit in their lives to protect themselves from the harm of judgment.  And the more people you deal with, the more deceit you can expect to be exposed to.  The only way to get to the truth of anything is through conflict, in stripping away the things people use to protect themselves so you can get to the foundation of their intellects.  Such a thing is never given up voluntarily; you have to pound away at their defenses to know who they really are, which only happens under duress.  So, if many people have found that they now have a handful with me, they should have thought about things a bit more carefully.  I am only thrilled when the world around me is on fire, and that is how it will always be with me, even in Heaven.  Heaven to me would be at the gates of Hell putting evil’s heads on a pike and spitting on their tortured bodies.  Everyone else can play a harp at the golden gates of Heaven and sing songs to each other in a quest for peace.  Which, for me, is the same as serving an obligation toward dishonesty.  Only in war do people really tell the truth, even in Heaven.

There Won’t Be A War with Iran: They can’t afford it

There is all this talk about war with Iran, and America getting sucked into a prolonged war that will further entangle us into a mess of foreign commitment.  And there are all these war hawks like Lindsey Graham who want to go to war and bomb Iran into destruction.  And then there are people like Tucker Carlson who want complete involvement in Israel’s business, at all.  But everyone is missing the point, and Trump gets it.  You have to know your leverage points, and just to burst everyone’s bubble, Iran has already lost any potential war.  Iran is another hostile country, much like Antifa or Black Lives Matter in America, that is propped up with foreign money to create a grand distraction in the world.  Iran is the number 1 sponsor of terrorism in the world.  They don’t call it terrorism; however, they instead call it “revolutionary activities,” using almost the same kind of logic as we saw from the No Kings riots in America.  Iran exists to fight capitalism behind the façade of radical Islamic Fundamentalism.  And they can’t be reasoned with.  There is nothing about them that exists to protect the indigenous rights of the Palestinian people, and their continued protest to fight and destroy the creation of Israel as a country in the post-World War II environment.  Remember when the Obama administration left behind 1.7 billion dollars on an airport runway to Iran?  Or when Joe Biden lifted sanctions against Iran that were there from Trump’s first term?  Iran is not a country; it’s an Occupy Wall Street endeavor by radical leftist lunatics to destabilize the world.  Here are the facts: Iran can’t win a war with the United States.  I can’t win a war against a turtle.  And the threat of calling their bluff will shatter them completely. 

$1.7 billion might sound like a lot of money, but ground troops cost significantly more than that for just a few weeks of war.  And with all those missiles that they have launched against Israel, those are very expensive.  Additionally, Iran has its entire power grid concentrated in a small area, which would be very easy to target and disrupt.  Iran has an essentially oil-based economy, but not much else.  You don’t see people rushing out to buy the latest Iranian television or a new pair of jeans.  Iran could be brought to its knees without America firing a single shot, by just forcing the price of oil too low to compete with by exporting American oil.  And that is the way Trump is going to destroy hostile markets like Venezuela and Iran, through economics.  There is no reason to engage in a military conflict.  Iran doesn’t have the money to fight a war, and their entire infrastructure could be destroyed easily.  And with all the missiles they have launched recently toward Israel, they are going to run out of rockets fast.  And where are they going to get more of them?  Who is going to supply Iran with more weapons while the world’s eyes are on them?  Typically, Iran manufactures missiles on assembly lines, but it has to import the technology that powers them, which comes from North Korea and China.  Who thinks that either country is going to supply Iran with anything while Trump is in office?  They want to appease Trump, rather than risk being on the wrong side of the negotiating table with him.  Iran is currently on its own, and it can’t last long.  The Revolutionaries who run the country are not very deep in number, and the people in general in Iran do not support the current regime, so they only hold onto power with the threat of violence.  And they’ll lose that with any fight against Israel.

The Army Parade came at the perfect time, because it showed the world what the riches of capitalism can produce in such a display in the very nice city of Washington, D.C.  It took off the table any thought of engagement in a ground war with America, and the rest of the world doesn’t have the money to keep up.  The wars we have been dealing with were largely creations by centralized banking, not countries fighting over borders and ideology.  Trump knows he can crush Iran economically.  They are already reeling from the short conflict with Israel.  And when Iran falls, that will put pressure on Russia to settle things with Ukraine, which is also propped up entirely by globalist money.  And China is in a delicate situation with its economy.  They are propped up by globalism, and now that people are onto the scam, they are in a preventive defense mode.  They can’t afford any sustained competition along economic lines.  They’d love to attack Taiwan and take all its resources.  They’d love to do the same in Japan.  However, they dare not do it, because they would be economically destroyed.  So they have to play nice.  There won’t be any war.  And while many of these countries have their militaries, they can also hold parades.  They have to work a lot harder to have those militaries than America does.  In any engagement, they will run out of gas and come up short on missiles really fast.  But America can produce weapons like candy.  And when it was put on display, as it was at the Army Parade, it was disheartening to those in the world who want to intimidate by puffing up their feathers, only for everyone to learn that it was just a skinny, weak bird in the middle.

Iran is going to fall, and they should.  They are evil.  And once they do, there won’t be any place left in the world for all these terrorist organizations to hide behind.  If you take out the number one sponsor of terrorism, a world with a lot less terrorism would be a good one.  And when you look around at the hostile places of the world, who are just as close to falling as Iran currently is, they can’t hang onto power unless people are scared of them.  China is at risk of losing Hong Kong, for instance.  If Iran falls apart, the rest of them will likely follow suit.  And Trump, or America, doesn’t have to do much of anything for it to happen.  We certainly don’t need to send troops into Israel.  I love Israel, and I think they deserve revenge for what happened at that music festival.  A lot of people were killed and tortured who didn’t deserve it, and what was done to them, with Iran backing the activity in the background, was terrible.  But forget about this idea of ground engagement.  Those are not the fights we are fighting anymore.  When Iran falls, the Ukraine War will likely end shortly thereafter, due to the resulting pressure.  And China will struggle to maintain its current economic strength because it needs American markets to sell its products to.  They are dependent on America for their power, which can be turned off quickly.  And ruthlessly.  Which is what Trump will do to Iran, and once that vulnerability is exposed, all the other dominoes in the world fall too.  Therefore, there will be no military engagement.  Iran has already lost, and I believe they are aware of it.  It’s just taking the media a while to figure it out, because they need the subject matter.  However, the war with Iran never even began.  And Israel will easily triumph over their enemies with the power of economics.  Not missiles.

Starting Wars to Control People: It was always the global strategy by secret societies like the Skull and Bones

It’s been a dirty little secret for a long time, but it has been going on since the dawn of human civilization, and we are seeing it come to an end here in 2024.  And that is the strategy of starting wars to control mass society.  Most recently, the example of the secret society, the Skull and Bones at Yale University, is to produce political figures who would keep that trend going to maintain an aristocracy of globalism for which people like John Kerry and the Bushes would support as they moved into political positions.  This is why those forces are in a rush to start more war ahead of President Trump’s next term, because after he’s back in office, there won’t be any tolerance for it.  It’s also why the Deep State fought so hard to get rid of Trump the first time, spending eight years doing everything they could do to pound him out of existence and to ensure that civilian control over the American government would never happen again.  Yet it did, and now the panic is viperous.  Few know it because it is a secret society, but in the lobby of the Skull and Bones building is the word “War” written on the wall as their foundational concept, and it’s how they always planned to rule.  These people never had a desire for world peace.  War was what they used to grab power as a Deep State and to use that power to stay in control.  When we say Deep State, as in the case of the Skull and Bones, it’s the desire to run a government that is beyond the civilian elected government.  Any notation of control that the Skull and Bones have about their role in government is unconstitutional. 

Just as the Bohemian Grove people believe on the West Coast, the idea of a secret society to mold the next generation through hazing rituals to rule in the background was only going to be possible if they gained the ability to start a war in one region, then to push for peace in another.  For instance, consider the protests of the Vietnam War that have had so much documentary evidence to review.  On the one hand, the Deep Staters would push for the expansion of communism into South East China by using war first against Japan to soften up the Chinese to communist attack from the north flowing out of Russia.  Then the sad bell boy, Ho Chi Minh from the Treaty of Versailles monstrosity, poised and angry at the French occupation of their homeland in Vietnam, adopted communism as their calling cry to freedom.  Americans were called into the war by the same globalists who started the war to provoke war protests then and usher in the hippie movement that had communist foundations to open the door in the West for such thinking on America’s college campuses.  None would have happened without the pressure of war to drive social change.  The war wasn’t about freedom in Vietnam; it was about bringing down the West in the same way that communism brought down China.  And China was being built to become the first state of globalism, meant to do the same to the rest of the world, which we see happening today.  China, the creation of the globalist one-world order threatening the world financially and structurally, pushed everyone into communism so that centralized governments could control everything in the background.  Trump was the first Republican to call the bluff card on this mess during his first term when he started putting an end to all these phony wars, especially regarding North Korea.

North Korea was built to be a sympathetic target to draw attention away from China.  As pretty much a useless threat to the world, they would launch their empty missiles out and over the Sea of Japan routinely, as the media would report the antics frantically to the world, hoping to provoke public reaction toward animosity toward the ruler, Kim Jong Un.  And who could forgive what the North Koreans did to the young man from Cincinnati, Otto Warmbier, who was tortured ruthlessly?  Fortunately, Trump saw through all these strategies and ignored the warnings of how dangerous Kim Jong Un was, and reached across the border to shake the young man’s hand and develop a friendship.  Left to their own devices, most people will do terrible things to each other, such as what happened to Otto Warmbier.  And that is actually how the Deep State recruits their people out of organizations like the Skull and Bones, with embarrassing sexual confessions meant to bond members for life, to use the deceitful nature of other human beings to mask their true intentions of a global aristocracy.  Those same rules apply to global politics, and nobody was ever supposed to give a member of the Axis of Evil, as George W. Bush always said of North Korea, a chance to be redeeming.  But what Trump exposed was the phony threat North Korea was to the war, provoking the Deep State to come after him even more vigorously and to attempt to inspire assassination attempts on Trump’s life, just as they did with President Kennedy.  All this mess started with these secret society members, such as Yale’s Skull and Bones, entering politics and bringing with them the philosophy of war to instigate trouble around the world so that they could be the firefighters to put out the fire they started themselves, which was certainly the case over oil in the Middle East.  All while ignoring the massive amounts of oil that were always in the United States and could have killed the enemy with competition and capitalism if they wanted to, and saved many lives and the dismemberment of innocent people.

This brings us to the ending of the Ukraine war, which was phony from day one.  When that war started, provoked by the Biden crime family for many reasons that only helped the Deep State maintain political control over the world, anybody who was flying a Ukrainian flag in the United States was seen as a fool.  People were catching on to this silly game and wanted an end to it.  The Deep State plan was to push Vladimir Putin into a war where he would lose and become the next China, just as Japan had forced China into a weakened position.  With Russia, the attack was to destroy it as a sovereign country.  And the same Deep Staters were trying to convince people that Putin had put Trump in office and that all of them needed to be removed to have a good world.  But the Deep State, run by these secret society losers, went too far, and this process of Trump exposing it shattered the illusion of self-government.  In a somewhat honest election, Trump was re-elected to the White House, and all the wars around the world that had been brewing are suddenly going to have cold water thrown on them all.  And that’s how the Deep State gets destroyed because the only real power they had was just as the Skull and Bones people had, through secrecy and mutual dirty laundry on each other to bond them to villainy.  And start wars to drive the political narrative, allowing them to gain control.  It was a game that suddenly ended in 2024 for the first time in human history.  Secret societies were dedicated to these war-like causes long before the Skull and Bones people came along.  However, this trend extends back to all known times, and it only ended when Trump went back to the White House, backed by a government of people who had expressed control over their government for the first time.

The Rebellion Against the Global Managerial Class: What causes all war

When the British were finally forced to leave New York after the Revolutionary War, as one of the final acts after their defeat at the Battle of Yorktown, they imagined that the Americans would fall apart as soon as they left the city.  But once on their ships, an officer remembered that he had left something behind in a home he had been occupying and returned to get it.  The ship landed, and the officer returned to the house and retrieved what he had left behind, which he had expected to be a dangerous enterprise.  But he was stunned, as was the rest of England, to learn that the Americans were capable of self-government and were better off with them gone.  The world in America was better without the micromanagement of an oppressive centralized force.  And that is still the fight we have to this day; a managerial class of bureaucrats is attached to globalism and wants every corner of the globe to submit to their authority.  People have a raw belief about other people and the role authority plays in their lives.  And the truth is, the kind of freedom demonstrated for the first time in the world, the creation of a new nation and a people who governed themselves was bound to occur at some point in time.  America was able to happen due to a unique period in history where shipping allowed for international trade and communication just enough to make a new country possible.  But it was still too big to have all these jealous managerial people poking their noses in everyone’s business.  For a few hundred years, America was left alone because, for one, it didn’t have much value.  So, most of the other countries in the world didn’t care much about what happened to America.  That is until it became one of the wealthiest countries in the world, and mass communications became possible. At that point, the same jealous people were thrust together into a conflict that is very much the story of our modern day.

When Barack Obama says that he doesn’t understand how we became so divided, as he did at a recent rally for Harris, as the poll numbers show his Marxist revolution in the American government is coming to an end, I don’t think he does understand his role in the mess.  He was brought into that micromanagement culture of government to be a kind of communist parent.  So, like that English officer returning to New York, this concept of self-government just doesn’t make sense to him.  And, of course, there are people within the United States and worldwide who are just as perplexed.  I would call them broken people who crave government to be a parent in their lives.  They are insecure people who do not sustain themselves properly, so they are attracted to group affiliations.  But what caused the Revolutionary War in the first place is the same desire behind the MAGA movement now.  Everyone is shocked by what they are seeing in global populism, much less government, because most people never dealt with the cause of freedom in the first place.  When we talk about a Deep State and an administrative state, we are talking about people who are personally insecure and who want to rule over people in a managerial class kind of way.  You see it at every level of society, where a superior bosses around an inferior for the joy of being in control over someone else.  And this is the essence behind all forms of globalism.  They want to control value so that they can rule over the people who want a piece of that value.  But they do not understand why people would not want to be governed by them.  Or why more value is created in a culture that rebels against a management class of overseers. 

Another common theme that has not been well understood is that the Revolutionary War was about who controlled currency.  One of the plans the English had for the newly found Americans was to crush their economy by flooding the market with counterfeit money, making all the pay and exchanges made to people worthless, and essentially destroying the effort of freedom because nobody could afford the basics in life, particularly on the frontier of private property.  This was a continued problem with George Washington, who had been very successful before he became involved in the war or the presidency.  For his efforts, he was paid with worthless money, just as everyone else was, and that misfortune lasted the rest of his life.  But Americans didn’t turn away from freedom over a lousy economy that perplexed the world and its managerial class overseas.  They never understood it, and that holds to this day.  The same kind of people who lost America to the Revolution are handling our money supply now, and they have been purposely trying to destroy our economy for the purposeful incursion of ruling over America from the newly created United Nations.  To answer Barack Obama’s question, this rebellion would always occur, even if it meant the destruction of our economy.  When that destruction was most utilized in a global policy with the creation of the Covid bioweapon that shut down the world economy, the opposite of what they thought would happen occurred.  Just as that English officer was surprised to see how Americans behaved once the managerial class of the English military packed up and left New York after that war of independence. 

The monetary policy of imposing control over those who were supposed to be happy as subordinates was never understood psychologically, so the world has made the same mistakes repeatedly.  And Americans were taught by all the wrong people about how the world was supposed to be.  What was ignored was how people wished to live, and those forces never reconciled.  And that is the heart of what we see in this current election.  People do not want to be ruled by a managerial class.  It doesn’t matter if it’s other countries, centralized bankers, aliens from space, the World Economic Forum, or China, no matter who it is. People don’t want to be controlled by a managerial class, and America shows the benefits of what freedom produces in people.  Even when attempts to destroy our economy were utilized, people did not rush back to the arms of global overseers; instead, they became more rebellious.  And are electing Trump to get the globalists out of our back pockets.  And the more managerial overseers try to keep their hands in our pockets, the more anxious we have become.  But none of this is new; it’s just that the world is finally catching up to the nature of all human beings.  They don’t want a micromanaging parental figure ruling their lives.  They want freedom from all that, and the next several years are going to be very surprising to those globalist types.  They never reconciled what that English officer learned that day in New York, which is just as accurate now as it was then.  There is nothing that this management class can do to change human nature.  Things will never be for them as they would like them to be because that is not the nature of human beings anywhere.

Fentanyl is a Weapon of Mass Destruction: Countries that Hate America are purposfully trying to kill us through the drug trade

If I had to pick a president who most resembled the United States as a personality, I would say it would be President Grant.  Grant was a great president and man, but his memory has been shaped by those who hate him.  There were quite a few people who sought to take advantage of him because he was friendly and honest.  There is nothing that we can do to make the world love us or even like us.  There is a seething hatred of America by many in the world that is just a fact of life, and they have been planning our destruction aggressively since we started.  That is a tough admission for many, but they must make it so we can solve these problems. We have talked about illegal immigration as a weapon of purposeful war, attacking America as a Cloward and Piven strategy of overwhelming the system so that it would force the overthrow and change of that system.  The current fentanyl crisis on the drug abuse front is, without question, a military-scale attack that is the deliberate poisoning of our culture, intent for destruction.  Like many people sadly can claim these days, I know many people who have lost someone they have loved to an overdose of fentanyl.  However, the scale of the problem became apparent to me during the summer of 2024 when I was serving as the foreman for a grand jury in Butler County, Ohio.  Out of the hundreds of cases I heard with a grand jury, most of them were drug cases that directly involved possessing and trafficking in fentanyl, and from that perspective, there is no doubt about the reason that poison is flooding our streets.  It’s not a market fulfillment problem by mind-numb soothsayers seeking recreation through drug use, the way society has been framed to believe.  It’s not a libertarian fantasy of “my body, my right” kind of thing that is protected by constitutional limits on government to crush individual desires.  It’s a purposeful poisoning of American culture by the Mexican government in conjunction with the Chinese government and globalism behind those efforts to destroy their rivals on the world stage by wiping out entire generations of people.

If the purpose of war is to kill more of the other guy’s troops than you receive, and whoever says “uncle” first is determined to be the loser of the fight, then the drug saturation of American markets is the modern version of wartime activity against a nation that the aggressors are seeking to destroy.  There is nothing patriotic about drug abuse, but we have been tricked into thinking so, much the way all kinds of well-seeming people scammed President Grant during his gullible lifetime.  President Grant was friendly and honorable, and he couldn’t imagine that people would be up to no good because he never was.  And throughout the emergence of American life, that is how the world has also come to know us.  And they do hate us for it.  So when they think about Americans, they plot and scheme for ways to deceive us and to wipe us from the face of the earth.  That is the only intention of flooding our country with fentanyl, which hides behind a culture that uses our freedoms to prevent the military attack for what it truly is.  The amount of fentanyl that is killing people maliciously because it’s a dangerous drug that is quickly passed around the party scene is genuinely alarming.  It is the number one killer of adults 18 to 50 and has killed more people each year than all the wars we have had combined typically do.  Nobody is talking about it because that is part of the plot, so the people they want to kill off don’t even realize it’s happening.  So it doesn’t get much coverage, just as Kamala Harris doesn’t get scrutinized in the press.  These are all people who hate us and want us dead.  And fentanyl is one of their weapons of war. 

We go through the motions of law enforcement regarding drug trafficking of fentanyl as if we were trying to tell our children not to touch a hot oven.  As if we were teaching them a lifestyle choice that might prevent them from acquiring pain by their choices.  Fentanyl distribution is far more dangerous than that.  Hostile financial insurgents who have captured the governments of violent countries have purposely produced fentanyl to destroy those who consume it, and that is one of the significant dangers of an open border with a Marxist country in Mexico and why Canada is so dangerous.  The desire to overthrow a capitalist rival for them is too tempting.  China, as the largest communist country in the world, is certainly motivated by the same outcome.  Fentanyl starts in China and is then mass-produced in Mexico by the cartels and then shipped straight into the United States through open borders seeking to attack the production-aged people and to cripple them with death and mind-destroying weapons of war distributed through a “party culture” that has its roots in the communist movement of corrupting the youth for state control.  This trend was started by the Bolsheviks under Lenin while saturating Russia with communism at the turn of the last century. Drug use and distribution in this party culture was always the plan, and the mass killing of people was the known objective.

The worst thing that happened to President Grant at the end of his presidency was that after all his years of fame, he was easily hoodwinked by those he trusted who wanted to make money off his name.  He ended up bankrupt at the end of his life; he trusted people with his investments, who lost them all in pyramid schemes that led to his destruction.  And those seeking to deceive his excellent name and trust in other people essentially wiped away a life of much success.  Many are at war with us in the world disguised as friendships, and they use that relationship for their strategic desires.  They think the world has too many people, that we are a burden on the earth itself, and that we must be eliminated.  And they control the governments of China and Mexico and are behind the globalist push for Marxism.  And we have not met that aggressor for what they are worth.  For me, seeing the massive amount of destruction fentanyl brings to our communities from the perspective of criminal conduct can only be viewed in one way: as a weapon of war.  One of the things I am most looking forward to under the next Trump term in office is categorizing fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction because that is precisely what it is.  We must fight it on those terms and no others because there is no other way to understand the use of fentanyl to destroy the cultures they are distributed to.  China knows what they are doing and is purposely seeking to kill Americans.  Mexico certainly sees it that way, and they are not our friends.  These are hostile countries toward the United States, and they are looking at us all as suckers who will be too nice to them and allow them to be complicit in the murder of many of our people in a purposeful attempt to destroy our country from the inside out—disguised as a recreation, when in fact, it’s all been a weapon of war declared on us not from governments, but from the people who run them.

The Greatest Wars are the Ones We Haven’t Fought Yet: Banks in an alliance with the World Economic Forum have declared their intentions

There was a clear arrogance as World Economic Forum leaders found themselves winning elections everywhere in Europe as summer sunk teeth into the Northern Hemisphere, especially in England and France.  Populist uprisings had been held at bay, and WEF candidates were slid under the door in the quiet of night by a global election fraud apparatus that is the greatest threat to our modern age.  They had already performed their coups against leaders in Brazil and America and were looking to infiltrate every significant position globally.  And they were laughing about it after they found a way to join openly with the communists in France to stay in power with Macron.  If you knew anything about history, the world was becoming a major war.  But this time, it wouldn’t be America joining the wars of World War I and World War II or the various fights against communism in Vietnam and Korea.  Or the spread of Marxism in the Near East, such as the conflicts with Iran and Iraq, were all about.  But always lingering in the background of those wars were debt maintenance and the manipulation of banks to keep the bad guys solvent financially to stick around to become a significant problem and ruthless dictators, which was undoubtedly the case with J.P. Morgan and their relationships with the Emperor of Japan, Mussolini, and Hitler.  This new war that is upon us looks to be the biggest one yet, and the opening days of it have already passed us with the evidence of massive election fraud by a band of globalists looking to take over the entire world and dissolve all solvent countries into a state of their control.  And how do they expect to do that?  They plan to do this by leveraging our massive debt, as all wars in the past alluded to, especially in modern times, as mentioned. 

I would say, as I have for a while now, that the most dangerous element in the world is not climate change.  America’s Federal Reserve had propped up BlackRock to distribute printed money made through quantitative easing to heat the stock market to ridiculous levels on fake money and to use that leverage to buy up the boards of most of the world’s major economic contributors.  It has been a sinister plan much worse than anything that led to the creation of two world wars and the United Nations as a means to end all wars.  But when they say war, they don’t mean the classic sense where needless lives were lost defending the honor of a nation.  But the destruction of nations themselves with a fiscal policy that destroys all value at its borders and collapsed the economies without a shot.  No, the best wars are not behind us; they are right in front of us, and it will be very tough for many people in the coming years.  And America is the last stand for global independence and a tyrannically Marxist takeover of international politics on a grand scale, starting at our banks.  When people look around and wonder why things are the way they are and contemplate why our politicians don’t do anything about, say, Covid, which was created as a bioweapon in a lab in Wuhan, then released to the world, murdering millions of innocent people, the answer is a horrendous one.  It is one too terrible to admit to in the light of day, yet there it is in front of all our faces. 

World War II was all about debt and using it to manipulate the world to create a United Nations.  That is a sad consideration when you think of all the lives lost and how most of our memorial holidays pay homage to the great battles won and lost and the memory of fallen soldiers.  It’s terrible to think that all the fighting was essentially over debt.  In those cases, other countries needed money, and only the banks of America could provide it.  These days, however, America is in debt to the world, and that’s why there is arrogance in these global elections.  Even if we wanted to stop the tyranny, we couldn’t because our debts are held over our heads in ways that dissolve our sovereignty as a nation.  That is also why globalist-minded people, including corporations, have absolutely no reverence for the American Constitution because they plan to dissolve it anyway.  They don’t care about Supreme Court rulings or populist movements in general because they hold the debt of every American in their hands and can crush anybody at will.  And they know it.  The only thing keeping them from making a move now is the ownership in America of so many guns.  They have to do their attacks slowly, at the value of the dollar, and kill America at the bank.  Slower than they’d like.  Fiscal policy is our biggest concern in this modern warfare of international banking. Wars are not fought as we have been taught, but in ways we have never understood, at your local bank and all the connections to it. Currently, at 35 trillion in debt, America is over-leveraged, resulting in a loss of freedom. And the enemies of America want that condition. We are paying 12.5 trillion in interest over the next ten years, which is a significant problem. Much of the communist plots against our nation are being funded off these interest payments.  Many people are getting rich off America, and we must stop that if we ever want to make America great again.

Most of what we think of war is an illusion given to us as a way to mask the intentions of modern war to rule as a global state of a Marxist aristocracy, and they are well underway with their plan.  They have been eager to do as BlackRock has done in its partnership with the fed: use cheap and easy printed money to buy up representative government and, with it, our nation’s sovereignty.  How else can you explain how so many people in Congress and the Senate have become rich off salaries that don’t come close to producing the income level they are experiencing?  And to fuel the insurrection, the enemies that wish to topple America, from the perspective of centralized banking, point straight to the World Economic Forum.  And they are hostile in their intentions to use debt as leverage to destroy our nation for the benefit of a bailout by the world when the debts are called in.  With every dollar of debt comes a loss of personal freedoms, and that is why the world is marching the way it is, with America looking like a complicit contributor instead of an arbiter of justice.  We can’t afford to have an opinion on anything, especially to be isolationists as a sovereign nation.  The attacks against our country have been aggressive and consistent.  While we have been shopping at Wal-Mart for new electronic entertainment, our nation has been sold out from under our feet.  And until we can repay our debts to those holding the debt and making a lot of money off interest on that debt, America does not have the freedom to do anything but be a servant to the debt that our politicians have sold us out to, and our attackers in the World Economic Forum are planning to collect on a moments notice once we show ourselves resistant to their manipulations, globally.  So far, as long as we support the United Nations with much of that debt, we are given the illusion of freedom.  But we don’t have it.  And getting back that freedom will lead to the greatest war the world has ever seen.  And we are at the start of it now.

Bird Flu is the Next United Nations Bioweapon: We know what they did with Covid, and now the food supply is their next target

We are getting ready to see a level of insanity that has always been a part of the Democrat Party, the communist left, that we’ve never seen before.  They always had the capacity for evil to do what they do, but we will see the worst of them in 2024 as it becomes more evident that they will lose power.  And I say that in the future state because the only way they have gained and held power is through deception in the years leading up to now.  And they can’t maintain that illusion without deception.  So they are losing control and will lose their ability to have power over other people, and the wheels came off during COVID-19.  They went all in with the Chinese bioweapon from Wuhan, sponsored by the United States and a whole list of whores from Bill Gates’ money supply, along with many others, and they killed a lot of people, harmed many others, and ruined all our lives which many are still digging out of.  At this point, more people are willing to admit all that than at any previous point because it’s such an evil concept that most would have never thought it was even possible, even as it was happening.  And that is what the communist left was counting on: people would be slow to recognize the threat, and by the time they did, the world would be functioning from a “New Normal” after the World Economic Forum’s “Great Reset.”  I’ll repeat it now, as I did then, well before the Trump administration figured out what was happening.  Even Rush Limbaugh, Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, and all the other popular talk show hosts hadn’t caught on to it yet early in 2020 when we first heard about the bioweapon virus.  On day one of the COVID-19 virus, I said it was an attack on a scale bigger than Pearl Harbor.  And that was how we should have been looking at it.  So I was always right about Covid, and with that track record, I offer that bit of history so that people won’t be suckered again.

Bird Flu is the next bioweapon that the communist left is planning to use to have a COVID-19 part II.  And, of course, they have no other choice as they watch the world turn away from them by the masses.  I think all this is good because these bad guys needed to be smoked out of society in ways they have always been concealed.  And you can see the trends in the cross tabs of polling that have them in a panic.  More people of color are supporting Trump, for instance, than anybody thought possible.  And it’s not older people; it’s the under-50 crowd, which is a big problem for Democrats.  Also, regarding deportation politics, over 50% of Hispanics support that nationalized measure, which was a surprise to many who thought that once illegal immigrants were here, they would support all their friends and families, too, coming in the same manner.  However, most support enforcing border policy away from the current open border strategy.  The communist left is finding themselves surprised at every turn; things are not turning out as they academically planned, and now their fingers have been caught in all kinds of cookie jars, poisoning the cookies.  They will lose on the world stage, not just in American elections, and things will improve.  But there will be a lot of violence and chaos in the meantime because most of these people are complicit in many crimes and the mass death of millions of people, and they have to be punished.  I think it’s good because, at least finally, people have seen the evil behind the friendly masks, and all this horrible activity has inspired them to act toward justice.

And I would caution you, dear reader, I’ll say the same thing to you now that I told John Boehner when he was Speaker of the House, and he laughed like I was just another local conspiracy theorist, anything from the United Nations and its partners, like the World Economic Forum, and the World Health Organization need to be considered military endeavors.  I was right then, and I’m right now.  It was people like Boehner, my neighbor, who made us vulnerable to these attackers, to begin with.  They represent global communism and are on a military effort to take over the world and destroy the United States with the most powerful weapons the world has ever known: propaganda.  Another act of aggression that people have been slow to act on even when the evidence was abundant.  Everything they propose should be considered hostile to the sovereignty of the United States because they do not intend anything good for our national sovereignty.  And their biggest weapon to date was Covid.  What they did with it was no different than dropping bombs on an enemy city in previous wars to force a country to submit to the new threats of power.  It is what Genghis Khan did as a warlord, what Alexander the Great did to expand the Greek empire, what Nebuchadnezzar did to expand the Persian empire, what England and Hitler did, and what has been behind every attempt at global communism since Karl Marx wrote down his collectivist vision on pages of paper and international unions and secret societies sought to expand those management methods of central force community to community.  COVID was their grand fortissimo of thousands of years of attempting to build an international empire controlled by a few elite dominators.  Only this time, it was disguised by hiding the attackers behind white lab coats and academic institutions.  But the greed and power were no different than what we have seen from the worst tyrants of the entire human race.  And in 2024, it’s the Bird Flu that will be deadlier and more transmissible, and a way to hopefully get away from the punishment for their crimes that is coming their way by killing off those that might have the courage to prosecute them.

The giveaway to the effort is the gain-of-function research that made the Covid virus transmissible to humans when it would typically only be regulated to bats in the Wuhan region.  This is why Dr. Fauci and his subordinates are in so much trouble and deserve to be; they made the virus that was natural–unnaturally transmissible to humans.  And for them, it was an experiment because Covid 19 wasn’t very deadly.  It was a practice run for them and a test to see how the world would react.  They didn’t want to kill everyone, just the elderly and weak, which is precisely what they did.  What they did was another form of mass murder disguised as science and economic tampering.  And they had the governments of the world dancing at their fingertips with billionaire money given loosely to build a compliant team of murderers.  The danger with the Bird Flu is that the attack vector looks to be the food supply of the world, so you can starve the human race and force them to pharmaceutical alternatives.  And by creating such a crisis, they hope to avoid an organized world that will prosecute them for their many past sins.   And you can bet they will try because they have no choice.  They either turn to open mass murder, or they are going to be prosecuted by an angry society for what they have already done.  And before they let go of power, they will do everything they can to use it to save themselves from a world made angry and look for much-justified revenge.
