    Is there a weather conspiracy?

    In 1947, the Air Force dropped 180 pounds of dried ice on top of a hurricane that was winding down off the coast of Florida. Soon afterward, the hurricane got a second wind, pivoted east and then shot up north and slammed into Savannah, Georgia, where it destroyed millions of dollars’ worth of infrastructure. In 1962, Lyndon B. Johnson, then vice president, said, “He who controls the weather controls the world.” A few years later, while he was president, the U.S. military deployed Operation Popeye in Vietnam. This was a cloud seeding campaign that caused excessive rain on the Ho Chi Minh Trail, a supply artery for the communists. In 1978, a Senate subcommittee published a report titled “Weather Modification: Programs, Problems, Policy, and Potential.” Included in the 748-page report is this sentence: “There’s no question that during a dry season, cloud seeding aggravates conditions to produce drought, and during a wet cycle, it triggers even more rain and probably floods.” In February of this year, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) said the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the agency that’s supposed to document all the weather tampering projects around the U.S., was not documenting all the weather tampering projects around the U.S. In August of this year, USA Today reported that private companies were cloud seeding in some states. It also called people who believes that cloud seeding has caused some of the historic floods we’ve seen recently “conspiracy theorists.” Three US states have outlawed cloud seeding: Florida, Tennessee, and Louisiana. The takeaway is clear: people believe cloud seeding is a real threat. As all this is happening, the United Nations just released a report calling on nations to give up their autonomy and dump fossil fuels in the name of curtailing the historic floods, fires, and droughts we’ve been experiencing. Is someone—or something—causing extreme weather to create a crisis and justify global control over every aspect of life? Watch the video for more.

    Why do Christians send their kids to public “schools” designed to dumb and secularize them?

    It’s that time of year again. Parents are celebrating their kids’ first day of school. It looks wholesome and quaint. The kids, dressed in their new threads, are smiling. The parents, presumably behind the camera, are equally ecstatic and proud. And in churches all around the country, leaders and congregants are praying for the kids and the teachers as school gets back into session. How can any of this be anything but good, wholesome, and American? The Bible tells us that the devil disguises himself as an angel of light. The devil is also known as the father of lies. The fall of man is the result of the devil lying to Eve. Deception is Satan’s main weapon of choice. And government “education” is one of the greatest deceptions in American society. What makes it sadder is that the people who should see through it more than everyone else don’t. Watch the video for more.

    Is it OK to smash Flock cameras?

    Americans are smashing Flock cameras in a unified yet uncoordinated nationwide campaign of protest. These are technically illegal and criminal acts, but many defend them as necessary and morally justified because the Flock system itself is criminal. The destruction of Flock cameras began last year and it’s been ramping up. Reports of random destruction seem to emerge daily. From California to Georgia, authorities are finding smashed cameras. The backlash appears apolitical. It is happening in blue areas, in red areas, and in swing areas. Some people are angry because police officers are abusing the Flock technology. The most common form of abuse includes cops using the system to track and stalk their ex girlfriends and their boyfriends. Several officers across the nation have pleaded guilty to this. Others are angry that ICE is using the Flock system to catch illegals. And some believe they’re a violation of the Fourth Amendment. A lot of people are motivated by a combination of those gripes, me included (I don’t care that ICE is using them to round up illegals, though). It’s interesting that the public at large supports the destruction of these things. I don’t remember the last time that regular, law-abiding citizens generally supported, well, vandalism. But they are. I only know of one person who defends the Flock system. He’s a cop who genuinely views them as a tool that helps him protect the public. He means well. But good intentions can never be the deciding factor of what policy or technology should be allowed. Policies and technology have ramifications that always go far beyond their stated intentions. And as Camus wisely observed, “The welfare of the people…has always been the alibi of tyrants.” Listen to my diatribe (video above) for more thoughts on this.

    Is America declaring freedom from the Uniparty for its 250th birthday?

    The Uniparty dog and pony show is coming to an end. The news is that Tucker Carlson is helping create a third party. But what he’s really doing is mainstreaming an idea that undermines a core element of the managed reality the elites have kept us in for nearly a century. He’s mainstreaming the idea that neither major party gives a crap about the American people and that both actually work toward the same ends. And when enough people realize this is true, the jig is up. The Insiders have been playing the American people for suckers since at least the 1950s. Elites like Carroll Quigley wrote all the way back in the 60s that there was no such thing as two genuinely different parties in America. It’s an illusion designed to fool the people into thinking they are making the decisions. Meanwhile, no matter which party is in power, the foreign wars keep going, the federal government continues growing, our liberties never stop eroding, and the debt has no ceiling—all while Americans became poorer, sicker, and more dumbed down. One of the elites’ oldest tricks has been control over the nomination phases of each party. That ensures that voters can only choose between pre-approved puppets of the international oligarch class, candidates with the same fundamental agenda. Ideally, the best way to address this subversive one party rule is through a mass awakening in which enough Americans understand the principles of the US Constitution and insist politicians follow them or be ousted. If we had a Congress that cared about Americans, they would serve as a bulwark against all of this. Unfortunately, it seems we are at least a generation away from that becoming reality. The support Trump got among Republicans for launching an illegal war suggests we have a long way to go. So—is a third party the next best thing?

    The future is bright, but do we have time to get there?

    Thomas Massie lost his primary race to a phantom candidate with no ideas or convictions of his own. A man who drew small, half-asleep crowds of Fox News loyalists. A man whose promise to the voters was that he would go to Washington and do what Trump and the Republican Party tell him to do, not what the people tell him to do. Assuming the election results are legitimate, it is astounding that he won with this strategy. This seems like a very unAmerican approach. He basically told his constituents that he would go to D.C. to serve King Trump and his nobles in Congress. More astounding is the group of people who were bamboozled into wanting this. Massie lost because older Americans were told to believe that the representative most loyal to the same ideas and principles as the people who created this country is the bad guy for insisting that everyone else in the government abide by those ideas and principles. Older people were fooled into believing that Massie is a RINO, a Democrat. Why? Because he wouldn’t obey Trump. Because he voted against outrageously expensive bills that devalue our money. Because he was brave enough to say that the president doesn’t have constitutional permission to launch a war at his whim. What they weren’t told is that Trump is the one who betrayed the Republican Party. He’s the one who failed to deliver on his promises. He’s the RINO. What they weren’t told is that the tenets of the Republican platform include the very ideals Massie defended and was fired for doing so. The good news is that the younger generation appears to get it. Young people appear more excited about limited government and nonintervention that the generation before them. Massie rallies were packed with young people who want to end the Fed, end the wars, and end rule by pedophile and pedophile protectors. During his concession speech, Massie said he was excited for the future because young people get it. The future is bright, he said. That may be so—but is there enough time to get there. A number of catastrophic threats loom on the horizon. Watch the video for more … Read my magazine article Trumpism vs. Americanism: Will Massie Prevail in 2026?
