The Failures of Globalism: Making corporations the architects of their own destruction

When I think of the Disney brand, I think of shows I grew up with, like Zorro and Davy Crockett.  Those were great family shows that reflected the values of a good and productive society.  And in many ways, this new show on Disney +, Ahsoka, the latest Star Wars television series, is excellent.  But unfortunately, and this is a theme I have been saying for over ten years, Disney is done.  It’s too little too late, and that was obvious when they started making Star Wars movies again, beginning with The Force Awakens, which wasn’t very good.  It was filled with woke garbage and expressed the main problem with Disney buying Star Wars from George Lucas in 2012.  How do you take a movie franchise made by a radically independent person, such as Lucas was, and turn it into a corporate asset filled with emerging woke politics straight out of the World Economic Forum?  The answer is you don’t.  The trouble was evident when they tried to align the production to all kinds of United Nations projects during the filming of The Force Awakens, which was globalism on steroids.  I tried to remain hopeful, but once the film came out and everything that came after, it was obvious that Lucasfilm under Disney would not be as good as Lucasfilm under George Lucas.  Ironically, the Ahsoka series is struggling with itself as part of the plot: how do you overthrow an empire and then become the next established government?  And the answer is that management of anything is hard.  Throwing rocks and having all kinds of romantic ideas about things is easy.  But it’s hard actually to run things once you capture the kingdom.  And that is what is so interesting about the excellent show Ahsoka.  As Grand Admiral Thrawn says in the show, “Make your enemies the architects of their own destruction.”  Globalism has certainly done that to Disney.  It’s an interesting commentary on itself. 

However, this is the lesson for everything that has gone woke, and I do feel sorry for Disney as a company because all corporations that bought into the woke nonsense will go through it.  It’s not just Disney, which is taking major financial hits these days, with the stock price being what it was over a decade ago, and there are no signs of recovering.  It was surreal to watch the train wreck happen, but as a corporation, they were so stupid, so collective based, yet they had all the money in the world to make success happen, yet they couldn’t.  The same could be said of the music industry, fast food, sports, everything.  Disney had a massive media empire, but now the rumors are quite true that they are looking to sell off the losers, things like ABC, ESPN, and many of these satellite companies that have been brand damaged because of woke politics.  The hard lesson is that it’s gone forever once that brand is damaged.  I’ve always been a corporation kind of person because they generate wealth and jobs for people.  I love marketing brands in partnerships, such as with McDonald’s or Coke, which has been common with Disney over the years.  I always love that about Disney World and all their brand alignments.  I love them so long as capitalism is the objective.  Under the woke rules of military implementation of communism through the policies of the World Economic Forum, the goal is to destroy American capitalism through the generators of its wealth.  Disney was one of the first companies to sign up, and it was a horrible decision for them. 

Like the rebellion in the Ahsoka series, Disney is failing to live under its own well-intended rules.  And those rules were that globalism was the future of all civilization.  They were suckered, and they bet billions of dollars on that eventuality.  They thought their brand was so powerful that they would influence the public toward their market needs.  They forgot that the marketplace decides value and that their brand was fragile.  What they thought was robust was only as strong as wet paper. It fell apart in their hands rather quickly.  And the insurgents at the World Economic Forum had planned it that way.  Plotting and scheming the CEOs of all of America’s most giant corporations right in front of their faces, and they all fell for it like a bunch of suckers.  And the public took their dollars with them elsewhere; they didn’t keep spending money on Micky Mouse as Walt Disney envisioned it.  They turned away and moved on to other entertainment options, which is why there is no recovery for Disney as a corporation.  The young people could care less about them, and a good project like Ahsoka isn’t enough to bring them back as fans.  It was too little too late.  The time to make that kind of Star Wars show was back in 2015 because Star Wars essentially became a spokesplatform for globalism, and people were put off by it.  Now, the market has changed completely; smaller media is considered much more valuable because it’s free, and when people see the Disney logo, they think of a big, woke company aligned with political philosophies dangerous to American ideas, which most of the world loves and wants for themselves.  Star Wars would have been better off just putting out the six original George Lucas movies and leaving things be.  But once they tried to expand into corporate control of the brand, they weakened it like sequels usually destroy an original movie idea.  If those ideas aren’t developed in subsequent stories, they burden the original.  And that was something Disney could never wrap their minds around.

I think all corporations that have dipped their toes in the woke rules of globalism will fail or become permanently damaged in the marketplace.  And companies that are anti-woke will see a massive level of support in the coming decades.  I always have a soft spot for Disney because I liked Uncle Walt.  Just like I will always think of George Lucas when it comes to Star Wars, anything done by corporate control might be fun and exciting at times, but it will permanently be damaged goods you can’t trust as a source of art and entertainment because of all the woke inclusions into the story that have now cheapened it forever.  I still think some of the work done at Disney World at Galaxy’s Edge is remarkable from a fan perspective.  It’s science fiction on overdrive if you like expanding ideas and potentials of technology and science, which I do.  It’s a shame that Disney listened to all the wrong people while developing Star Wars under their ownership.  They should have never listened to the wokesters at the World Economic Forum and the terrorists of global economics and their unveiled intentions for communism, China style.  The marketplace was already changing in a way that Disney would have had difficulty adjusting to, but they made it so much harder on themselves and their shareholders with a poor strategic approach that strayed away from accurate economic measures that worked.  So it’s ironic that the new Ahsoka show’s plot deals with this problem, a self-reflection of Disney itself and how good intentions become evil, and disaster always follows.  As they say about Hell, it is paved with good intentions.  And that is certainly the case with all that Disney does these days, and all who took the bait and destroyed themselves as economic, corporate powerhouses that should represent morality and justice as determined by dollars and not woke, globalist insurgents.

The Rigged Game of the Neocon: There is no foreign policy if we don’t deal with the World Economic Forum

There is no foreign policy in America that doesn’t deal with the problem of the World Economic Forum and its terrorism worldwide as a government that doesn’t see itself as a government.  Anything that doesn’t deal with the critical problem isn’t serious about foreign policy. This ridiculous idea that America is the beacon of freedom for countries worldwide is a stupid premise by stupid people to serve their purposes ultimately.  America doesn’t need to be involved in a bunch of foreign wars, when it can’t take care of itself, which is the state of our present condition.  This has been coming up a lot lately, especially since Trump has had an America First foreign policy, which Vivek Ramaswamy has adopted in his campaign.  As opposed to Nikki Haley who wants to be involved everywhere, wherever trouble is started, anywhere in the world.  The classic idea is that America is the parent of the world and has to settle matters wherever there is trouble, and those settlements involve tanks and troops, by whatever means necessary.  We are much brighter now than we were in the past, we have grown a lot as a country after a lot of disappointments.  Globalism has not been a wise strategy, and America has been used like a cheap whore by the world for all kinds of nefarious reasons.  But we are not that pre-World War II America who runs around the world like Captain America solving problems that everyone else started, and that is the general belief of the typical neocon, as the term has incorrectly been used for several decades now.  The conservatives believe that it is the task of Americans to be the world’s police officers, while moderates believe we shouldn’t be.  And that to prove your conservative nature, you must accept this premise of all wars everywhere by anybody. 

It would be hard for anybody to claim to be more conservative than me.  But I do not accept the definition of America’s role in foreign wars.  I see a trick that has occurred where our reports for things were given to us by the enemy, the real enemies out there who hide between sentences in history books and are never really discussed, as they should be.  And that is the type of people calling themselves globalists who set up this mess.  In the modern sense, the World Economic Forum has taken over the front for global communism, the preferred economic standard for all their efforts.  It is through banking and finance in general that the greatest threat to the world resides.  It’s not in some puppet tyrant by a small country somewhere yacking on about nuclear weapons, when the real goal is to attack capitalism by taking away the power that fuels it.  It’s all been a shell game, just as nuclear energy has been criticized because it reminds people of nuclear weapons.  The manipulations in our culture come from the real terrorists who have warped our definitions of things to serve their purposes.  Such as the “neocon” terminology.  You can’t be a “real conservative” if you don’t support every foreign war that the World Economic Forum starts around the world.  It’s no different than some stupid kid in grade school telling someone else that they aren’t cool if they don’t have the latest Nike brand of tennis shoes.  But the term itself is worthless and has nothing to do with conservative values because it requires a massive big government to have a global military and support any war efforts.  We have allowed other people, especially the media culture, to define what we are as Americans, and that has been destructive; it has directed our politics essentially down the road of big government centrally managed by ultimate globalists in the World Economic Forum. 

The real threat to the world, especially America, comes through finance, where Marxist-trained professionals have already corrupted everything beyond reason.  And it is the biggest issue on the ballot of 2024, this concept of whether Americans rule themselves or will be the latest victims of globalism.  It was all established years ago by the book Tragedy and Hope and was most obvious in the Rhodes scholarship programs.  Colleges have been oozing this material for years, and the ultimate result is that most people don’t understand the meaning of anything anymore.  Pick the neocon political route in life, like Nikki Haley and Lindsey Graham, and you must expand government and spend infinite amounts of money to meet every challenge wherever they are.  Avoid that path, and you must pay unlimited cash and expand government reach to build an administrative state to keep the Deep State happy and hidden behind layers and layers of red tape that nobody ever sees.  And how could you?  When you are so busy trying to get a building permit for a garage addition, who has time to see what a menace a deep state truly is that releases bioweapons into the public to control population growth, or that some ridiculous concept of “democracy” has been long destroyed with rigged elections that the public never had control of.  While we debate whether we should send money to Ukraine to serve the interests of globalism, we hide the nasty stuff in our own country with ridiculous discussions about “trans rights” during reading hours in public schools with kids.  And that the political left wants to make murder legal, drug abuse a lifestyle choice, and pedophilia a sexually protected right.

But who blows on all these troubles worldwide and is the root cause of so much misery? Well, the World Economic Forum and their friends in finance are the most modern menaces.  They cause all the trouble that requires a big government to fix it, so no matter what you’ve been calling yourself over the years, a conservative or a liberal, the political definitions were created by the enemies of America to achieve their ultimate goal, which is to spend us into oblivion so that we’d be easy to conquer by putting us in debt to those global forces and putting a lot of foreign money into our efforts to protect our global turf.  In doing all that, they gain control of our country and our present condition.  And no issue is more important in the 2024 election than who controls what.  Do Americans control their destiny, or have we so attached ourselves to globalism and, ultimately, the constructs of the World Economic Forum that we have no national sovereignty?  We are at a point in politics where we must redefine all these previous assumptions and recognize the game for what it has been all along and to do that, we must go back to reconstruction after the Civil War.  Everything that happened after has had this globalist problem attached to it, and therefore, our foreign policy assumptions about what that meant.  But our definitions given to us were not our own; the globalists themselves created them for the goals of globalists, and any policy about foreign affairs that we are to have as a country must be directed at the World Economic Forum and its tampering of trouble around the world that always point directly at their door.  If you want to go to war, go to war with them.  Not their puppets.  And then, and only then, we’ll see who the neocons are, and who the liberals are, because the definitions of both will have to be adjusted to reflect reality truly.

The World Economic Forum Stepped Over the Line: Trust is hard to win and easy to lose, and they have lost it

Something significant is happening that is very obvious, but little has been made of it; people are generally waking up to the malicious intentions of Bill Gates and his friends in the World Economic Forum.  People are now looking for the sideshow games where crimes against humanity have been committed, and Klaus Schwab and the economic Marxist terrorists of the world are not prepared for the wrath that is coming their way, which was most evident in the wake of the Maui wildfires.  Well, at this point, we should call it the Maui arson that destroyed a town that had been discussed as a satellite city for the World Economic Forum’s 15-minute cities.  The best way to build one is to destroy the old one, which looks to be the case here.  A few years ago, nobody would have asked any questions.  Conspiracy theorists would have voiced their opinions, but the mainstream media would have poured cold water on them, and the public would have accepted the controlled narrative.  But not any longer, not since Covid ruined the trust of public officials, and now three years of Biden have shocked people into observing the obvious.  The World Economic Forum has gone too far, and the shock to the world has been a degraded impression.  I noticed something similar when Microsoft, run by Bill Gates, released Windows 95, which was not as well received as Windows 3.1.  And ever since, Microsoft has been further scrutinized to the point it is today.  A necessary evil that people generally don’t trust.  Just as they no longer trust Bill Gates.  That is the case with everyone connected to the World Economic Forum.  People are onto the games and now see them being played everywhere, not conspiratorial, but in the logical way the bad guys have always tried to hide from the public. 

I said that the truth about the Maui fires would emerge in the aftermath as we watched what people did.  As it turns out, the power company had been trying to maintain its infrastructure, but the emphasis was on woke policies for renewables, straight from the World Economic Forum’s radical agenda.  And the power company had turned off the power hours before the fire started, so how could a spark from them set off the blaze?  There are a lot of unanswered questions that only point to terrorist activity, not a natural occurrence or an accident from the power company due to infrastructure failure.  I have seen that same radicalism in my state of Ohio regarding FirstEnergy.  On the one hand, they have adopted all these woke rules to appease the climate terrorists, making them the target of a hostile public upset at the changes.  But then the climate terrorists are trying to set up the power companies for complete failure and are looking to drive them out of business.  It’s the classic gun-to-the-head robber who forces someone they are holding up to do what they are told, only to be shot dead after they’ve handed over all their money.  These climate terrorists doing their deeds for the World Economic Forum behind the efforts of the United Nations are playing for keeps, which looks to be the kind of set-up job in Maui.  But the public is aware of the game, and they instantly rejected the official narratives for the fire and went straight for the developers who have promised to rebuild as a “city of tomorrow” as the instigators of so much death and destruction.  If it can happen in Maui, then it could happen everywhere. 

The bad guys in the world have been doing these things for a long time, destroying the planet and rebuilding it in their version of “Build Back Better.”  That kind of terminology was already being stamped on liberal t-shirts before there was a Joe Biden in the White House, but after Covid was a major overstep by Bill Gates and the gang, they didn’t seem to realize that it was a step too far.  And now people have lost trust in the officials that the World Economic Forum has worked so hard to capture.  But now that they have the power, they have lost the public’s faith and don’t seem to understand why.  Their entire plan, just like every version of Windows ever released that was supposed to be better than the first, has consistently failed in some way because they could never quite get it right.  Power is hard; it’s easy to make a misstep, and that is what we are dealing with now.  Climate terrorists were just caught starting fires in Greece to attempt to evoke an environmental message, and now that fires are breaking out all over the world frequently, it’s not a natural occurrence that people expect.  The first thought is climate terrorism by these radical Marxists inspired by the members of the World Economic Forum who plan to profit off the carnage and then build what they want.  There’s one sure way to overcome the kind of city opposition that building a 15-minute city would typically involve.  Just burn it down and kill all the people who would oppose it.  Then blame the power company you are also trying to put out of business because they use fossil fuels in capitalist markets.  That game has been going on for too long, and many people have suffered.

The public outrage is very energetic on social media.  How much of it gets outside the algorithms tightly controlled by the Deep State is an issue for debate.  Typically, discussions against the administrators of the Deep State and the members of the World Economic Forum who have a lot of money that they think buys their governments don’t get outside of the circular firing squad of specific groups that are easily monitored by the powerful forces who think they are in charge.  But the word is getting out anyway, and ordinary people now see the obvious.  They are asking the right questions that are no longer conspiracies but honest observations that have lingered in the background.  People might have been shy about expressing those opinions, but now they are open.  And regarding the Maui fires, there is actual hostility that is well-founded.  People don’t like to be suckered, and they feel suckered.  Bill Gates has shown the same kind of stupidity with his climate change activism that he did with Windows releases.  Everything worked for him as long as he had a monopoly on opinion.  But once people could think for themselves, which started happening with Windows 95, the value of their Microsoft products began to diminish.  People would put up with it to get along, but they weren’t suddenly yearning for the product.  And that same thing has happened to the losers in the World Economic Forum.  They thought people would want what they were selling: globalism, climate change, a godless, overly sexualized heathen society of sweaty losers looking to them as gods.  But, what they have been caught doing was acting as the latest terrorists, no different from the old hippie Weather Underground radicals.  Instead of operating out of the back of a pot-filled, rusting van playing Beatles eight-track tapes, they are billionaires like Bill Gates who have lost their minds, if they ever really had them.

Decoupling from China: Global communism was always only a drug-induced teenage fantasy

It wasn’t that long ago that I told the story about my LinkedIn account, which I no longer have because of an interview about decoupling from China once I released my book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business.  LinkedIn is a bunch of communist China-supporting advocates on the wrong side of history, so I don’t miss them at all, and that’s a topic all its own.  However, the fear of China taking over America is on many people’s minds, and I have assured people that such a possibility is unrealistic.  Even as much as the set-up goes back for many decades by domestic enemies in America who propped up China to become that device for a one-world government run by communism.  Now that people realize that was always the strategy, there is a lot of talk about decoupling the American economy from China.  And now that the cat is out of the bag, there are a lot of lost globalists out there who have no idea what to do next because their entire lives have been planned around this China model taking over the world and collapsing the American market.  People like Larry Fink and Ray Dalio have been moving a lot of money in that direction, and Wall Street has been betting on it for decades, significantly impacting people’s private 401K plans.  But I cover in my book how easy it is for America to defeat any enemy, or any individual can defeat global thugs like gunfighters defeated lots of nasty bad guys in a dusty street for personal preservation and the perpetuation of law and order for a thriving civilization to flourish.  As we speak, the China model is dying, propped up by phony economic numbers and corporations terrified the public will figure out what a lousy bet China has been for them.  So far, the media culture has prevented that knowledge from getting out, but reality is spectacularly showing itself. 

It all goes back to that dumb John Lenin song, “Imagine,” and the high school days of many of the characters causing so much communist trouble today.  It’s not hard to reflect on the young antics of Larry Fink way before BlackRock was created for him by the Federal Reserve looking to dump a bunch of phony money in the market to start a chain reaction toward a collapse and to prop up the China model of global communism.  These current billionaires, like Ray Dalio, smoke dope in the backseat of a car and listen to classic rock and roll songs in favor of communism and how dead America was, such as America Pie.  “They drove their Chevy to the levy, but the levy was dry.”  Once they got out of college, many drunken binges later, they were ready to cheerlead America’s destruction while at the same time calling it “smart investments.”  But their minds were never right and always filled with ill intent from their ideological teenage days where their lifelong philosophies of destruction and American hating sentiment solidified as they learned to take off the bra of the next pimple-faced girl in their back seats masked by marijuana smoke.  I could even go back even further as to how those songs, teenage customs of rebellion, and what those young people learned in school were given to them directly by the KGB as their parents watched old westerns on television at home and couldn’t see the bad guys riding into town.  They were looking for people on a black horse in a black hat.  Not a bunch of communists hidden behind popular culture dressed like the Beatles. 

None of this happened quickly, but it is coming apart very fast.  Now that the globalists are in prime time and have been caught on COVID-19 and many other horrendous enterprises, the world economy has been turning away from tyranny for several years, and that decoupling effort is well underway.  And I would offer that trust in China as a global partner is never coming back.  All the corporations that have invested in this merger with globalism are left at the altar as the timid Chinese are losing power by the day.  Their entire strategy depended on secrecy and intimidation, and that has not been the American public’s reaction, suddenly all too aware of the threat.  President Trump certainly wasn’t the cause; he was the effect of this awareness.  And after his previous term, the mask of China has been ripped off, and all those previous business efforts are failing.  Doing business with China has a stigma that was never there previously, and they will never be able to repair that impression now that people have it.  China and the global communists who have infiltrated American politics never had a plan B.  And as scary as it is to hear that China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Brazil are all moving away from a dollar-controlled currency, the sentiment in America, where most of the world’s productivity is centered, is to pull back and internalize, not to partner with hostile communist countries leaving them very vulnerable as a result.  That is why decoupling from China is something most Americans now want to do, meaning all those investments toward China becoming the next dominating centralized government are disintegrating in front of their faces.  So many American billionaires have spent money in that direction, yet the scam is coming apart rapidly.

It won’t happen overnight, but the trend will be anti-China for many future decades until the communist government there, and in other places, is defeated.  Not just cosmetically but economically.  China has difficulty concealing that information from the world, and their state-controlled media has helped them.  But the writing is literally on the wall, so all these corporate alliances where globalism controlled by China was utilized are already considered busted investments.   And if you lose a lot of money because of it, don’t say you weren’t warned.  I warned everyone for several decades now, and just because the Chinese-loving LinkedIn people have essentially employed a strategy of “keep away,” the reality was eventually going to catch up to them.  The teenage fantasies that many of these modern-day losers have been trying to fulfill were never originally ideas built on the hopes and dreams of human ambition but on the backs of the compromised, drunken fools and overly sexed counter-culture druggies who bought the KGB message hook line and sinker only to find themselves dinner of the globalist communist effort.  And they have been slow cooking for several decades now, thinking they were the ones doing the cooking.  But actually, they were the ones being cooked, and now it’s time to eat.  And Americans, those who haven’t become domestic enemies in support of global communism, are the ones at the table with hungry stomachs.   And corporate America, which has fallen for this scam, is on the wrong side of history.  None of what happens next is what anybody thought would happen.  Of course, I’ve been saying it, and those who listened will prosper greatly.  But most didn’t, and the tough times will be their own.  They were warned but didn’t listen because they thought all that rebellious music and drug use they did as teenagers was the wave of the future, instead of the communist propaganda that it was all along.

The Vivek Ramaswamy I Know: He’s a good guy who wants to help save America for all the right reasons

It’s tough to be a front-runner, which is where Vivek Ramaswamy finds himself among the second-place contenders for President of the United States. As much as I like Vivek, I’m a Trump guy, and from the beginning, it has always been for me Trump, Trump, and more Trump when it comes to the White House. It’s Trump, or something much harsher, that does not consider civility. Trump was treated wrong during his first four years and has been treated wrong since he left office. And to set things right in America, Trump must be back in the White House. So, I have not covered Vivek Ramaswamy’s presidential campaign because he has been running against Trump. However, now that the smoke is starting to clear, and Vivek has shown that he’s never betrayed Trump and has adopted a very MAGA platform in the running for president, there are some things that we can talk about that have come up regarding his character. Now that the world has come to know Vivek Ramaswamy, there are concerns that he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing, the picked insurgent from Wall Street. After all, he is worth nearly a billion dollars, so he doesn’t exactly fit the profile of “one of us.” But then again, Trump is a billionaire, and as I’ve said many times, the Trump of the 80s and 90s is not the kind of person I would have voted for President. And Vivek is still a very young person, not yet 40. But now that he has overcome DeSantis in most polling, and everyone else, all the presidential candidates likely running to be vice president, Vivek is getting more negative media attention, which requires some clarity.

Before there was a book there was a bright young man who wanted to do something good.

I don’t think Vivek Ramaswamy is anything but sincere in his efforts to run for president and have a political future to continue something good that Trump has started. I know Vivek to a degree and have met him several times. He’s from my area of Cincinnati, so our paths have crossed a lot. I remember very well when he launched his political career at the Middletown Republican Party headquarters, talking about a book he was about to release called Woke Inc, which has gone on to bring great awareness to the dangers of corporate Marxism run by people like Larry Fink from the World Economic Forum. Vivek is a person of magnificent intelligence, and I would look to him as the next great economic advisor in the Trump administration. Vivek Ramaswamy has started Strive Management as an offering to take on the prominent money managers in BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard, operating out of Columbus, Ohio, instead of Wall Street, New York. Strive Management, I think, is the solution to the monster that the Federal Reserve has created. So, Vivek Ramaswamy isn’t just some dreamy Republican looking for attention. His heart is undoubtedly in the right place, and I can say that because of my interactions with him. Vivek came to an event that I was a part of organizing, and as he explained to me, it was there at that point in his life that he began to see the other side of things, and it inspired him to step away from being a CEO of biotech companies and instead do his part to save America. So, just because people are wealthy and successful, it doesn’t mean they have sold their souls away and are useless for the rest of their lives. People are always on a journey; they seldom stay the same throughout their lives. They evolve as they learn, and Vivek is still a young man and learning who he is.

I like Vivek quite a lot

Vivek Ramaswamy is a great talent, and I am not surprised he’s getting much serious attention as a presidential candidate.  I hope he is in that kind of position for many years.  As much as I support President Trump, it is time to start thinking about 2028 and beyond.  And I believe Vivek Ramaswamy is there to continue a MAGA platform that can help correct America’s severe problem with international finance, where America’s real problems start.  It’s not some faraway country that is the next military threat to American interests; it’s the local bank and the money manager of our 401K plans, and few people in the world understand that better than Vivek Ramaswamy.  And that will be just as much of a problem four years from now as it is currently.  So, I am very supportive of Vivek Ramaswamy, and I want him to succeed in this presidential venture so that he continues to offer his talents to politics to carry a MAGA platform well into the future.  And I have enough personal information about him by knowing him and talking to him to give my opinion on his motives in all this.  I think he’s a young person who has had great success and realized it wasn’t enough.  He has a gift for communication and wants to use it to save a country he loves.  I know the event that he told me about helped shape that moment for him in stepping away from being a wealthy CEO and becoming a political figure that could extend the Trump platform for the Republican Party well into the future.  With a wink and a nod, I would say to everyone, that’s why we have events like the one I’m alluding to.  Because you never know how many Vivek Ramaswamys are out there asking questions about their lives and looking for something meaningful to do next. 

I think Kari Lake is the leading vice-presidential candidate. But for many reasons, I believe Vivek Ramaswamy would be better. The more he talks, the better things get, and as a political party of Republicans, we want Vivek to speak as much as possible. I would love to have four years of Vivek as a vice president, getting on-the-job training for eight solid years as a president. The Vivek I know is a guy who made it big, and it wasn’t enough. Like Trump, he has independent wealth and wants to use his skills to help his country. His political activity has nothing to do with a desire to be near corruption and be recognized as necessary. He already is. But due to his financial independence, like Trump, he is turning to politics to give something back that few people in the world ever get. So, I think Vivek is running for president, not as a controlled asset of Wall Street. But as a person who has stepped over from the dark side of finance and can help fix a very broken problem with his unique skills. I don’t think Vivek ever meant to be on the dark side; he left college and stepped into the world to be successful for all the right reasons, the way society measures it. But these days, he’s more than that; he has grown. And that is why he’s running for office, and he should be a positive contributor to positive political efforts for many years. There are good guys out there, even in the world of politics. Trump came to this good guy desire late in life. And when it comes to Vivek Ramaswamy, it has come early, and perhaps just in time to help save the world.

Warriors and sell-outs, they are not the same.

Covid Part 2 is Coming: Government is desperate to protect 2030 objectives and they don’t care who gets hurt in that process

You must understand what’s at stake here to grasp why Covid is coming back, these radical communists and socialists throughout the world have set gigantic social targets for the year 2030, and the re-election of Trump in 2024 will destroy those plans.  So, they will do everything to stop him, including returning to the playbook that worked before, releasing another version of Covid from one of the many bioweapon labs around the world, as they did in 2020.  But this one will be deadlier because the criticism from the first time was that Covid wasn’t deadly enough.  So, this one will kill more people, and they will do it because they got away with it before, four years ago.  That’s right, Covid, as I have said repeatably since that time, was a manufactured crisis, which the government seems to be doing a lot these days.  It was a “plandemic” not some act of nature.  These are bioweapons by a hostile regime of global communists who will do anything to get power and stay in control.  Anything.  And they’ve thrown everything at President Trump to stop him from running for President Again, and he keeps getting more popular, and they are in a bit of a panic now.  Joe Biden is just their representative in the White House.  He will do whatever they say, but Joe Biden is not in charge.  The script has already been written and leaked from several government sources.  Covid is coming back because they have no other choice, and it’s coming in September of 2023.  And by December of 2023, ahead of the election year, just as it was done in 2020, there will be new lockdowns and isolation rules much worse than before because it’s their only chess move, and you can bet they will make it, no matter who dies in the process.  These people should have been punished after what they did in 2020, but they weren’t.  And now that they got away with it, they are coming back.

Alex Jones has a reputation as a conspiracy theorist, but he’s often very right when he says something; it comes true eventually. I explain Alex Jones and myself, for that matter, with Robert Persig’s concept of the “Metaphysics of Quality.” Some people in life, the best leaders for that part, are those making decisions in the front of the train. But most people like to make decisions in the back of the train, where it’s safe. To justify why they are too chicken to live at the front, they call those who aren’t afraid conspiracy theorists to explain their cowardness. It’s a psychological problem, not an indicator of truth. So even though people might not like the big-time wrestling type of delivery that Alex Jones does when reporting the news, that doesn’t make his content any less relevant. And he has been told by a TSA contact that he has, as well as others, that the timeline for the Covid protocols has already been floated down through the ranks as led by the Biden administration. At the same time, these reports hit the marketplace, it was reported that the Biden administration will gear up for a return to the vaccine policies in September. Consistent with the timeline released by the TSA agent. Like before, everything related to Covid, or whatever they call this one, has been preplanned and politically motivated. It has nothing to do with health or nature. It’s all about instilling global communism as it rolls out to the door of origin, the World Economic Forum. And Trump threatens their agenda, as do his supporters, who they know are a majority in America because they also know what they did to commit election fraud under the guise of Covid to steal that 2020 election. And they are willing to do it again.

For those involved with state legislatures who thought that Covid was never coming back, here it is, so they’ll have to start working to get in front of the story. Not to stop the virus. Like a nuclear bomb, it’s out once Covid is released as the bioweapon it is. People are going to be harmed, and they will die. There will be no social distancing to stop it. There will be no masking that will prevent the spread. The only thing that the masks will do is show submission to those who control the virus outbreak. And this will always be a danger until those people are punished. Until then, we’ll have to live our lives and prevent panicky governors like Mike DeWine in Ohio from trying to shut down our states again with ridiculous rules of voodoo science. The goal is to disrupt the election of 2024 just as they did in 2020 by keeping people home and using mail-in ballots because people would be unable to vote in person. These bad guys know there is no way they can keep Joe Biden in power unless they change how people vote. Too many people now understand how the election of 2020 was stolen, and that information is much talked about as more and more evidence is stacking up. Joe Biden and his family are in trouble with corruption. The economy is horrendously bad. There isn’t anything that the Biden team can claim a victory on going into a critical election year in which they have tried to stop their political rival, Trump, in every way but physical assassination by all the powers of government, and Trump is still poised to win most of the states if Democrats don’t get control of the election counting process. So, they are going all in on Covid as their 2024 strategy.

There are no plans to put Biden on the campaign trail.  He’s going to hide in his basement like they did before.  The media will do most of his heavy lifting, and they need an excuse why their old man can’t stay awake for more than a few hours a day, so Covid is their only option.  We never had free and fair elections, at least not in a modern sense, and now that people are waking up to that situation, the only way to control elections is behind a massive crisis, a manufactured bioweapon made in a lab with government money to keep the government in power.  And the World Health Organization is already printing the press releases using Covid Part 2 as that weapon.  So the most essential thing that can be done now is to take away centralized power from the health directors in the various states to keep the economy and people constitutionally free.  If there are court cases that need to happen to challenge state power, we need to be ready to launch them early instead of a year into it like last time, after so much destruction had already taken place.  The constitution is not suspended during a crisis; otherwise, the government will continue manufacturing a problem to perform illegal acts.  And going into 2024, that is the only way to approach it constitutionally.  People must be able to vote, and the vote counters must be monitored carefully.  And no amount of death and mayhem caused by these globalist powers, under World Health Organization communist crises management, can be allowed to alter that process because they fully intend to for their survival.  You have been warned, use it to your advantage.

As Usual, People Trusted Government and They Lost Their Lives: The Marxism behind the Lahaina wildfire

I’m proud of the people regarding the terrible fire in Lahaina, Hawaii, on the island of Maui during the summer of 2023.  Early in learning why a raging fire broke out that destroyed the entire town and so far killed entire families, with over 500 people wiped away from their lives, credible people were sharing videos of some beam weapon that was igniting the fire, aggravating its spread.  So from moment one, many people were not falling for the narrative that a raging fire had just burst out and destroyed the entire town.  The sirens didn’t go off because the government official feared that people might be scared and run into the fire in the hills surrounding the city.  And the loser in charge of the water to fight the fire was afraid that he might upset the “water spirit” by using it for such a catastrophic event.  Virtually everything about the Lahaina fire that destroyed the entire town resulted from some government pinhead and stupidity, and people have learned from Covid not to trust the experts.  Because the experts are usually bought and paid for and serve other kinds of powers, such as the World Economic Forum.  Immediately people assumed that the fire had been started by some nefarious characters who wanted the town for some other purpose, which obviously would be revealed in who did what with the land in the aftermath.  Bill Gates had a house near that location that wasn’t touched by fire, and people noticed it.  People were asking the right questions in the devastating aftermath, where we are today.  We should expect to be lied to by an incompetent government.  And when there are major disasters like this one, we should look for who profits from the demise because there is probably something to it.

But at the very least, conspiracies about motivation are not needed here.  Asking hard questions is healthy, and the answers are likely harder to digest.  But we know that significant incompetence was on full display, which is the most dangerous aspect of the fire and the government meant to protect the town’s people.  We live in a time where the experiment of the Administrative State, as much as we might complain about it when they are slow to get us a check from our tax returns or answer our complaints about some service they are in charge of, has failed and failed to the point where they are just openly dangerous.  There isn’t much of a core competency we can trust about an administrative state government and its slow-minded, lazy employees.  This is a shame, but it’s a glaring reality in 2023.  It always was to a large degree, but this is different.  People seem finally ready to admit that they’ll never hear from the government, “I’m here to help.”  Instead, they’ll hear, “I’m on my lunch break, I’m working from home because of Covid,” or “I want more money to sit around and do less work.”  The liberal playbook of Marxist environmentalism is doing the same thing to power companies worldwide.  In my state of Ohio, I have talked explicitly about the FirstEnergy problem, where radical politics has attacked any politician who has tried to have a relationship with them.  The radicals want to get rid of nuclear energy and are trying to put that power company out of business and force them to say uncle with renewables, solar, and wind.  And that looks to be the same kind of case at this massive fire in Hawaii.

The experts, the same kind of experts who told us not to take Ivermectin to treat Covid, which turned out to be disastrously lousy advice, have indicated that the electric company in Hawaii may have had poor infrastructure and that a spark arch might have been the cause of the fire.  And as bad as that sounds, if it’s true, then the reason is even worse because it’s evident that the operational money that should have been going into improving their grid was instead going into the hole of renewable energy because the tentacles of liberal climate science are all over this catastrophe.  They caused problems, and once there was an emergency, they failed to warn people of the danger or give them the tools to fight the fire.  The evidence points to a new kind of warfare where the government can completely manipulate circumstances to fit the desires of their fundraising needs.  Suppose a wealthy donor wants instant oceanfront property for some nefarious reason. In that case, the government can burn down an entire town using the justification of green energy to displace everyone so that they can destroy the property, sell it to some investor for dirt cheap and blame it on some excuse created by the minds of a bureaucratic administrative state as the cover fire for lawsuits.  And nobody will ever figure it out, “they think,” because everyone is too busy trying to get a good ESG score to notice.  Rather than providing good power to the needs of the people, this power company in Lahaina, Hawaii, was more concerned with environmental compliance than the needs of the people they were supposed to serve, and the results have been devastating. 

In every layer of the failure, from the power company to the government agencies in charge of crisis management, we see that cultural Marxism, with various degrees of communism and socialism sprinkled throughout the Administrative State, can be traced to bad centralized policy that does not serve people.  It has made people victims of it, not benefactors.  And when people die due to the government’s actions, immediately the narrative from the media is to underreport the crises deliberately.  Who needs conspiracy theories when it’s so overtly apparent that the government, a collective body of lazy, liberal employees, is just dumb?  That the cause of the fire was dumbness, whether nefarious or accidental.  The wrong ideas persuading the bad economic objectives put the people of Lahaina, Hawaii, in danger and destroyed many lives.  We live in a time when we can’t even trust the water meter reader.  That government activism destroys an affordable kilowatt hour by power companies because they are more worried about appeasing Larry Fink at BlackRock and their environmental terrorism.  When you give dumb, lazy people as much power as this modern age of government official working for an incompetent administrative state has, their mistakes will be deadly, and the aftermath catastrophic.  Like everything that the government touches, disaster follows in its wake, whether it’s the teaching of kids in government schools, to the license bureau; listening to the authorities is an excellent way to get killed and lose everything you’ve spent a lifetime trying to build.  Governments and their Marxist sensibilities are destroyers and certainly do not have anybody’s best interests as their priority, which was never more evident than in the aftermath of the Lahaina, Hawaii fire.  Aside from any nefarious World Economic Forum intentions, the real problem was incompetence and having the wrong people in bad positions to make all the wrong decisions. Purposeful or not, the results were a disaster for innocent people who were guilty of trusting the government too much and have now paid for it with their lives.

Why I Have Not Been Cancel Cultured and Never Will Be: The Great flaw that the World Economic Forum never figured out

To answer a question that has been coming up a lot, especially these days, why I have yet to be cancel cultured out of existence is a good one.  Because it points to a fatal flaw in the World Economic Forum’s strategy for global domination, the foundations of that flaw were evident during and after Covid, and it is grotesquely apparent in the aftermath from all those who were suckered into believing what the Great Reset was aiming for their ridiculous “New Normal.”  Communism wasn’t going to be it, and they went all in on centralized control of everyone through the bureaucracy of the administrative state, and that fatal flaw was that they didn’t truly understand productivity.  They assume that everyone in the world is just as worthless as they are, as mindless bureaucrats who will do anything for a job because they don’t believe in the value of that job.  They feel they are given something, and their constant fear is that someone will figure out eventually that they don’t deserve that job, and that constant fear of that discovery drives them to do great evils in the world.  You’d be surprised how many CEOs of massive companies who make a lot of money feel that the rug could be pulled out from under them at any moment and that they might be homeless in the street with one swipe from their superiors in the World Economic Forum.  Those losers have gained so much power by exploiting this real fear in people who should know better.  This brings up the very relevant question, why don’t I worry about that kind of thing, and how have I managed not to be cancel cultured out of existence after all these years?  And the answer to that question is a good one that I’d like to see everyone understand because it is how you get true freedom in the world. 

Part of the reason that my answer might sound cliché is that the perpetrators of the fear want everyone to feel like such resistance is impossible, so they’ve stigmatized the obvious in the effort of mass social control.  But it’s all an illusion, mainly if you utilize the answer.  I don’t worry about cancel culture because the skills I have, precisely my best skill, is something that nobody gave me, so they can’t take it away.  Yet it’s something that the world wants desperately, and it always will.  Nobody at the World Economic Forum could ever stop people from enjoying what I can give them.  And that skill is that I make people around me better; I can continually improve their lives dramatically because I can read and utilize the fine art of subtly.  Most of the time, a problem, whatever it is, a psychological problem, a mechanical one, political, a narrative, a scientific one, have their answers concealed behind the subtlety of existence.  And if you can unlock that at will, you will find that you have a skill that people are always willing to pay for.  And they’ll pay for it in whatever currency they can give you.  This is one of the reasons that global forces want to control the money supply, so they can maintain how people get paid.  But there are many currencies out there, and you might say I am independently wealthy.  Not necessarily by physical money, but other currencies that matter much more, the kind of stuff that the IRS was never designed to measure.  And in that answer is the keys to freedom, which I have created in my life that nobody could ever take away, no matter how powerful they think they may be. 

That’s why I produce so much written content on this blog site for people for free.  I share my skill of reading subtlety because I can afford to.  Ultimately, I desire to make people better than they otherwise would be because I explain the real answers hidden behind subtlety for them.  I don’t personally get a lot out of the exchange, but I do like to see people live better lives, despite the forces that are trying to enslave them to the efforts of a liberal Administrative State and their communist intentions residing behind the entire endeavor.  For all the reasons that A.I. will never replace my particular writing style, because artificial intelligence will never be able to replace my ability to read subtlety in the world, there is no shortage of people behind the scenes who want what I have to offer, which is why I practically give it away for free.  I like to see people free, so I tell them how to be so.  But on all other matters, success in life, good relationships, an understanding of God and the afterlife, the mysteries of finance, history, psychology, legal practice, arts and entertainment, political philosophy, whatever the topic, there is always a hidden ingredient in subtlety that is just waiting to be discovered, which I see quickly, and can explain to people.  And for that reason, no matter the social conditions, there is always a long line at my door looking for my particular skill, which improves countless lives and always will.  I could have explained to the World Economic Forum the error of their ways three decades ago if they had listened, but they instead built their entire strategy on a false premise of production from day one, and they hoped to hide those flaws from themselves in subtlety, which they perpetually fear will be discovered, and exploited.  But of course, it’s too late for that. 

And that’s why I have never been cancel cultured and won’t be.  My life is not dependent on some loser to bring value to it or to decide that they’ll give me a job for which I should be eternally grateful.  I do many good things for many people that would otherwise be ruined by the mysteries of subtlety, where some of the worst people hide, hoping not to be exploited for the frauds they are.  But they fear most being discovered for the menace they present to the world, which makes it easy to conquer them, which I explain to countless people each week.  And to such an extent that I can afford to give away some of that good stuff for free to whoever wants to utilize it for their improvement.  I learned this skill of subtlety actually from an old samurai warrior in Japan many decades ago; it’s one of the nine ways of the samurai.  To understand the nature of all things as subtlety connects them.  And for access to that skill, my phone never stops ringing, and my email box is loaded with several hundred thousand messages on any given day.  And that will never go away.  There is no legal mechanism or a financial one that can stop it.  And I rather enjoy that leverage over the perpetrators of evil in the world and will continue to shower in the tears of my enemies because they fear subtlety and are haunted by it day and night.  And I’m not one to brag but to answer the question.  Why haven’t I been cancel cultured?  Well, I make people around me better.  The more people I’m around, the more improved they all will be.  And that is a skill that is most valued in the world by the needs of the human race.  Despite those who want to control those people for all kinds of malicious reasons but do not understand the subtle needs that people have, for which they will never have control.

The Law of Fallow Ground in America: Corporations and Communist Governments are not in charge and never will be

One of the reasons I enjoy my time around Fast Draw Shooters, as a sport, is that most of them have reverence for old westerns and the values of the gunfighter instilling justice against bad guys as typically defined by a social dedication to the Ten Commandments.  I was at an event in Cleveland this past weekend, and we had a friendly little discussion going on about the moral erosion that is obvious to everyone.  Now these events are fun because everyone is armed with guns, and we wear our gun belts all day, and nobody thinks anything of it. It is productive because it puts me in the right frame of mind to discuss these things.  And I reminded people that the world isn’t as different as it always has been.  I reminded them of my report from traveling around the world that most countries, including England and Japan, love American Westerns, especially old ones.  If you turn on the tv in those places, you will constantly find a lot of old American Westerns playing.  Hollywood changed along the lines of the BlackRock view of radicalism that has caused much of the modern trouble.  But people are still people, and they always will be.  And I told these old gunfighters what I’m about to say to you, dear reader.  Never forget the Law of Fallow Ground, which, if you are a farmer or know farmers, is the deliberate rotation or avoidance of planting crops into the soil to allow it to replenish its nourishment.  If you keep growing the same crops in the same parcel of land over and over again, the product that comes out of the ground becomes compromised and much less efficient. 

I told those old gunfighters that America was going through just such a period.  For many years we planted good things in the ground of capitalism, and the return to society was fantastic, and the world clamored to be a part of it.  Our old westerns were reflective of that culture.  People always did love them, and they always will.  The decision not to make those Westerns by a radicalized leftist culture of communist sympathizers run by financial tyrants is a kind of Law of Fallow Ground in the greater scheme of things.  This is a period in America where we are letting the soil rest.  For too long, Americans got used to everything coming out of America being good.  It will be again, of course, the yearnings of the Trump administration and his supporters represent that hunger.  But the world needed a break from what America produced because they didn’t appreciate it when they had it.  People are seeing how good those crops were and having conversations like the one I was having with those gunfighters, talking about how messed up the world is now, they are getting hungry for the good stuff.  They should have appreciated America when America was producing good crops.  They are not happy with this Fallow Ground period.  And when America is great again, maybe they won’t take things for granted as they have been.

I was getting a hamburger just north of Columbus, Ohio, at a Hardees, and I caught a conversation with a woman with the cashier complaining about how high the prices were for fast food these days, and she was shocked.  On the store sound system was a station playing 80s greatest hits because music isn’t very relatable these days, just like the westerns that used to be expected on television.  Occasionally something good comes out in entertainment, but most of it is garbage compared to how it used to be.  The people at that Hardees were far from political people, but they missed the excellent ol’ days when fast food was cheap, great music came out every week, and people had a generally optimistic view of things socially.  Human potential was celebrated, and American culture cultivated it in everything from hamburgers to pop music.  This was never more obvious than our plans for a Disney trip with the grandkids we had been planning for a while.  I have personally been very hard on Disney.  When I think of Disney programming, I think of Davy Crocket and the Zorro television show.  As a little secret that I don’t usually talk about, I was deeply inspired as a kid by the Zorro television show, and it’s no accident that my life as an adult reflects those values.  So despite all the woke garbage that Disney puts out now, I want them to see the amusement parks while they are still there.  Yes, I predict they will be gone in the not-so-distant future.  They will not survive this Fallow Ground period because they took people for granted.  People are moving on since Disney no longer represents those classic American values.  I have been shocked by how badly Disney has fallen on vacation planning.  Their brand damage is substantial and unrecoverable.   They haven’t planted anything new for a long time, and their crops are stunted, wilted, and not consumable.  So, they are dying.  Ten years ago, planning a Disney vacation was a much different experience.  They are almost begging people to visit now, which they never used to.  But in many ways, what is happening to Disney will happen to every American corporation.  This plot to collapse capitalism into a communist centrally planned society was destined to fail from the outset. 

Just because people see a barren landscape and that the Law of Fallow Ground was imposed on a culture by a hostile society, such as the levels of Marxism we now see injected into the American economy by radical leftists; the unfortunate answer is that we needed to let this happen so that we could restore greatness to the soil of our economy.  Giving the soil time to rest by allowing other things to grow, mostly garbage has been good because people will appreciate the good stuff when it returns.  And it will return.  Companies like Disney will likely be gone forever, as will many companies that have tried to take advantage of this Fallow Ground period and grow weeds in our gardens.  But once pulled and cleared, many companies won’t be there any longer.  But the values of our culture, shown in all those American Westerns which people worldwide appreciate so much, will return in whatever form they grow into.  And as I told those gunslingers, the values are still desired.  Because communist corporations have tried to plant weeds in our culture, people will tire quickly of their offerings and want a restoration of the good stuff.  So I don’t see all this depletion as permanent.  It’s a trait of the Law of Fallow Ground.  It’s a necessary period that people need to gain an appreciation for what America has produced in the past.  Once our culture makes those things again, people will appreciate it more because now they will have seen the option.  When Zorro was on television for the first time, produced by Disney, people expected a good society that understood why that show was essential and enjoyed.  Now they see the benefits and want more of it in the future.  The lesson is that corporations and communist governments are not in charge.  The market economy is the desires of people and values that most represent them.  And what we see today is just the Law of Fallow Ground, and the good crops from that ground will return.

The Tyranny of Digital Monitoring: There is no greater threat to freedom than centralized bank’s control over your digital footprint

There have been videos showing a young woman either buying goods at a market, such as a shelf check out, who has a chip in her hand, or the reader is scanning her palm print and using that to approve her transaction in her account.  And she’s smiling and is excited about it, as if it’s the next great thing for the human race.  The belief is that the technology is terrific and can be trusted. We should all put our faith in centralized bankers committed to communism, who will then gain power over us regarding whether we are allowed to have a business transaction.  I have been on the other side of the world more than once, where my account was turned off because someone at the credit card company flagged me for “unusual behavior.” After all, I didn’t notify them of my travels the way they wanted me to.  It’s a real problem putting our lives in the hands of these pinheaded bureaucrats, especially as a cash supply.  Turning off our access to the things we need and converting everything to digital is dangerous.  It might appear convenient, but the goal of the centralized financial institutions and the communist governments behind them, such as the intentions of the World Economic Forum, is to get us hooked on convenience so that they can gain power over us.  Some easy ones that come to mind are calibrations on the stupid smart meters on our homes that can be cranked up to read more usage than is happening, jacking up your price because they tag some ESG requirement onto your bill that you don’t support.  Because the reader is not mechanically driven but is digital, it can be changed at will, just like they want to do with a digital currency, where they can decrease or increase the value of it depending on who is using it. 

I recently had a significant problem with the monopoly company that supplies water to my home.  It’s so bad that I’m about to dig a well and get off the grid.  Whenever you call them, they give you nonsense and act like you are wasting their time.  There is no customer service because they don’t have to; they are a government monopoly, essentially just like Duke Energy is.  I had some $200 water bills because the meter misrepresented my usage.  Since they converted to a digital water meter, it has been a problem and a constant fight.  Technology did not improve my life; it has wasted vast amounts of time talking to stupid people who could care less and has surrendered thoughts to technology.  This is not “smart” technology; it is bringing us tyranny.  It is giving people power over us who don’t deserve it, and they want more of it.  Letting them see what we are doing all the time and trusting them to give us access to things like power, water, or currency, which they can turn off if we don’t behave the way the ruling government wants us to, is a horrendous mistake.  In all the examples I have provided, the honest answer is never to trust technology and to use a more traditional form of exchange, such as in some faraway countries where your credit cards get turned off.  Good ol’ fashion cash is still the best option and is what I used to get out of that situation until the stupid banks in New York figured out that the problem was on their end. 

I get so tired of hearing stories about “national security,” whether it’s China spying on us, Trump taking home souvenirs from his time in the White House, or some justification for giving money to Ukraine for corrupt politicians to money launder their interactions with illegal activity.  Or aliens landing on Earth and threatening to take over the world.  Nothing is more critical to national security than digital currency, smart meters, and centralized control over our digital accounts without other options to provide freedom from companies that suddenly have more power over us than they ever should.  What they did to gain that power, in using Covid as a bioweapon that killed people and harmed many others to steer society in this digital control direction, should be part of a war crimes commission, and people must be prosecuted.  These are people assaulting free people worldwide, and their dangerous partnerships with our representative governments are diabolical and highly illegal.  But most people haven’t caught on to just how bad all this is.  Forget about sending troops off to some faraway place to fight a war that governments told us was important, killing innocent people and saying they are doing it for “freedom” when they are allowing these communist corporations to have so much power over our daily lives, and letting them get away with murder.  No wonder support for military action is declining everywhere.  We can’t trust the government that starts these wars, and we certainly can’t trust them to defend our rights and freedoms from the real enemy, these terrorists in finance who control these companies who then control our digital footprint. 

I always find some alternative to these companies, even the monopolies.  The way to hurt them most is to get off their grid–financial system, power, water, and internet networks.  I can live quite happily without any of their stuff.  I remember life before the internet; the world was much better.  Convenience is not worth surrendering freedom to; that is the deal all these companies want to make with you.  That’s why they want a chip in your hand to complete every transaction, so they can track you with AI and develop an account that gives them ultimate control over you no matter where you are.  And if you don’t behave as they want, they’ll turn you off.  I am grateful that I could live just fine without their stuff.  Camping a lot has shown me that plenty of technology, such as solar-powered generators and water purifiers, can still give you the comforts of modern life without being a part of their digital controls.  I can live a great everyday life in my RV without being a part of any government-controlled grid. I recommend that everyone use that competitive option whenever possible to fight against all this tech tyranny.  The way to hurt them most is to take away their power over you.  There are plenty of options, and you should use them whenever possible.  In truth, this is one of the reasons I have traveled so much in 2023.  I have wanted to be off the internet grid, away from the water supply, and away from all the hidden ESG penalties with Duke Energy and other companies that BlackRock has hijacked to impose climate change standards.  All while a bunch of dumb politicians cheers on some war with Ukraine like some brain-dead seal clapping for a fish.  I like to get away from their grid and read many books not connected to the internet.  It is an excellent vacation to be away from incompetent people who have suddenly been given too much control over our lives with digital monitoring that will eventually be completely controlled by Artificial Intelligence programmed to do the bidding of communist governments like China.  Digital monitoring is the greatest threat to national security, and until people start dealing with it in that regard, they’ll keep getting away with it.
