Our Whispering Commander-in-Chief
Darrell Castle talks about the Commander-in-Chief of the United States armed forces who at least once recently relayed vital information about the American economy to a group of reporters by leaning over the podium and whispering or at least pretending to whisper to them. Transcription / Notes: OUR WHISPERING COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. Today is Friday the 2nd day of July in the year of our Lord 2021 and on this Report, I will be talking about the Commander-In-Chief of the United States armed forces who at least once recently relayed vital information about the American economy to a group of reporters by leaning over the podium and whispering or at least pretending to whisper to them. This is also the 4th of July weekend so we will be talking a little about independence and what that concept means to Joe Biden and his Democrat Party. Here in the Castle family, we are all looking forward to three days off work to celebrate the 4th of July this Sunday. We will take Monday off work from our law practice as part of the Holiday. Independence Day has its patriotic meaning that we are all familiar with and we celebrate that of course, but we celebrate in special ways for this mid-summer holiday. The Castle family normally has hot dogs for what is usually the first and only time of the year. I’m not yet sure what the family daughter will be doing in the City of Angels, but I’m sure she will tell me soon. The President of the United States who is also Constitutionally the Commander-In-Chief of the United States armed forces recently held an informal question and answer session with a group of reporters who had been pre-selected from the White House press corps. The questions he was to respond to were also pre-selected as were his notes for the answers, but something unusual happened at that meeting. He accidentally, negligently, intentionally, or through mental decline, told the truth about a vitally important subject. When the conference was almost over one of the reporters went off script and asked him for a response to the issue of millions of jobs available, but workers refusing to fill them. President Biden leaned way over the podium toward the reporter and replied in a very creepy whisper, it’s because I gave them 1.9 trillion. Now there the President admitted that he was paying people not to work, but then it got worse. Continuing his whisper, he told the reporters that he gave them the money so employers would have to pay more for labor. I want to reserve comment on the whisper for a moment, but no, on second thought I’ll go ahead and address it. The whole thing was indeed very creepy and appeared to be the result of cognitive deficit to the point that he was unable to control himself. The whisperer has gotten a lot of airtime on Russian TV and I’m certain the Kremlin was amused by it. I wonder what Mr. Putin and Mr. Xi think about the video of the President doing such a weird thing, but I have a fairly good idea. The whisper did call more than normal attention to his remarks, but because of the whisper no one pays attention to the merits of what he said. Now let’s address what he actually whispered rather than the whisper itself. He said “I” gave them 1.9 trillion and money is continuing to be sent and that is not insignificant. He made it sound as if he was using his own money but instead, he was using yours and mine. That is a slight exaggeration because he was only adding to the debt, but the debt service must be paid by those who pay taxes. The concept of using taxpayer money to drive up the cost of labor thus bankrupting thousands of small businesses is perverse and non-sensible to me, but I wonder if others understand what he is doing. Was anybody besides me listening to his words or were you too creeped out by the whisper. It is hard to exaggerate t

Serious Questions For the FBI about the 1-6 Riots
Darrell Castle explores the question of whether the FBI infiltrated the so-called militia groups the Federal Government labeled responsible for the “insurrection” at the Capitol to the extent that the FBI not only investigated the events of January 6th, but actually caused them. Transcription / Notes: SERIOUS QUESTIONS FOR THE FBI ABOUT THE 1-6 RIOTS Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. Today is Friday the 25th of June in the year 2021 and on this Report, I will be exploring the question of whether the FBI infiltrated the so-called militia groups the Federal Government labeled responsible for the “insurrection “at the Capitol to the extent that the FBI not only investigated the events of 1/6, but actually caused them. The Castle family is doing fine this week despite some of the problems that go along with living in this age. Our humble garden consisting of potted vegetables on our deck is starting to ripen which is cause for excitement since we in this family take excitement from the simple things. I can’t tell you the family daughter is perfectly fine in Los Angeles this week, but she is hanging in there all things considered. The three so-called “militia groups” the federal government has named as responsible for the riots are Oath Keepers, the Proud Boys, and the three percenters. I have personally met the founder of Oath Keepers, Stewart Rhodes, and I have heard his presentation a few times. The premise of the organization is that it recruits those who have taken an oath to defend the Constitution and it believes that oath remains in effect. I have no personal experience with either of the other two. Just to cut right to the chase the FBI not only instigated the 1/6 events at the capitol, but conducted a test run in late 2020 with almost exactly, the same set of facts. The head of the FBI field office in the district where the trial run was conducted was promoted to head of the Washington DC field office and given charge of the 1/6 investigation. There are many questions to be considered but the chief one is the statement made by Stewart Rhodes. “Yep, this Whitmer Plot was a trial run for the FBI’s January 6 Insurrection Day at Capitol Hill. What happened on that day was the Reichstag Fire of the Democrat-Deep State Nazis who run the federal government today.” Should Mr. Rhodes’ statement prove to be true then it is one of the most important events in American history, a watershed event and comparison to the Reichstag Fire is not an exaggeration. Let’s take a brief look at the trial run better known as the Governor Whitmer kidnapping plot. Most of the investigations of these two events, the Whitmer kidnapping and the 1/6 events have been conducted by Revolver News, a very respected news sources and then reported by Tucker Carlson. I read Revolver’s very long and detailed report of their investigation and from that report we learn what really happened in the Whitmer plot and what probably happened on 1/6. The questions to be answered by the FBI, DOJ, Pentagon, and Network News are 1. In the year leading up to 1/6 and during 1/6 itself, to what extent did those government organizations infiltrate the three organizations labeled most responsible for planning and executing a Capitol attack. 2. What roles did they play, merely passive informants or active instigators. 3. The unindicted co-conspirators referenced in the charging documents on 1/6, how many worked as confidential informants or as undercover agents for the Federal Government. It will take persistence to get answers to those questions, but upon correct answers depends the future of this country and our way of life as Americans. The American people deserve to know the truth about what kind of country they are living in. The premise of the FBI, DOJ, and their friends in the media is that the events of 1/6 were the fau

Caught on the Horns of a Dilemma
Darrell Castle talks about the growing threat of inflation. Is it really something terrible or just a transitory phase of the economy? Transcription / Notes CAUGHT ON THE HORNS OF A DILEMMA Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. Today is Friday the 18th day of June in the year 2021 and on this Report, I will be talking about the growing threat of inflation. Is inflation really happening and if so, is it really something terrible, something to be feared or is it what the FED and the treasury department say that it is, just a transitory phase of the economy. This is Father’s Day weekend for the Castle family as it is for everyone else. Husband and father are the two greatest roles that a man can have as far as I’m concerned, and I thank God for the opportunity to have those roles in my own life. I’m sure Joan has something wonderful planned for me this weekend, and the family daughter will call from wherever she is in this world. What is going on in this economy right now. Are prices really out of control? Has the FED (the Federal Reserve) lost control of inflation and the economy in general or is it all just a transitory phase as we are often told? When we visit the grocery store or gas station it seems certain that inflation is a reality and not an illusion. It may be transitory, but its effect on our lifestyle and our ability to care for our families is very real. Our standard of living is being diminished every day as prices, especially for commodities we use every day are increasing. It is easy to raise prices on consumer products. All the grocer has to do is change his sign for hamburger from $3.99 per pound to $5.99 per pound and you pay a third more for the simplest American meal. When the gas station changes its sign almost daily and always upward, it costs more to drive to work or to the grocery store or to take the kids to school. When prices for such commodities increase your standard of living falls because your wages do not keep pace. Most working people in America are employed by small business and those businesses are struggling to keep their heads above water right now. I’m not talking about Google, Microsoft, or some Wall Street bank that has billions in assets and should trouble arise for them, the federal government is there ready to use your money to bail them out. No, the person who runs the small business is losing his standard of living just as you are. Wages always lag behind prices because if an increase comes it is probably yearly while price increases happen almost daily. What exactly is inflation anyway? The traditional definition is an increase in the money supply, but recently the FED and treasury departments started referring to it as an upward trend in pricing, whatever that means. The government likes to tell us that the CPI (consumer price index) is the proper measurement of inflation. The CPI is just a bundle or basket of industries or companies that the government looks at to measure pricing. On that basket depends the COLA (cost of living adjustment) for Social Security recipients as well as all federal pensions. COLA is supposed to keep those people on “fixed incomes” from losing ground to inflation, so it is to the advantage of the government to hold COLA to a minimum and that is done through adjustments to the CPI. If you want to show that there is little or no inflation, make sure to have a lot of high-tech companies in the basket. Prices on certain electronics such as TV’s have actually fallen as knowledge increases. To prevent problems on the upside just take volatile industries such as timber, meat and other foods from the basket and CPI can appear to be under control. People see the prices of things they use continuing to rise, but most do not understand what is happening and if they do understand, what can they do about it? The FED has been good i

Do You Wear a Mask if You Have Been Vaccinated?
Darrell Castle talks about the question — Why would a person choose to wear a mask indoors or outdoors, but especially outdoors, if that person has been “fully vaccinated”. Transcription / Notes DO YOU WEAR A MASK OUTDOORS IF YOU HAVE BEEN VACCINATED? Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. Today is Friday the 11th day of June in this the year of our Lord 2021. This Report will ask the question, why would a person choose to wear a mask indoors or outdoors, but especially outdoors, if that person has been “fully vaccinated.” Is the person relying on and following the directives of science or the directives of those experts who speak for science? The Castle family is certainly doing well this rainy week in the river city of Memphis. We are celebrating my sister’s birthday since she is a year older as of yesterday the 10th.She and I are the survivors of 8 siblings, so we celebrate another year. We have often disagreed over the years as siblings do, but we do agree that neither of us wants to live in a high-tech version of East Germany. The family daughter is happily getting back into her career out in the city of angels, trying to rediscover normal in California. The other day I had a business meeting with a businesswoman in a building here in Memphis and when I got to the meeting, she was wearing a mask, but I was not. I try to be respectful of the wishes of others especially in their place of business, and if she had mentioned it, I would have put one on, but she did not. I asked her if she preferred that I wear one and she said “no, I am fully vaccinated”. I said oh, then you are completely immune from the virus and could not possibly contract it from me and since you could not possibly be infected you could not possibly transmit it to me. Yes, she said, that’s what they tell me. If all that is true, then why do you wear a mask? For that question she had no answer because there is no answer that makes any logical sense, and she was not a stupid woman. She seemed open to discussing the matter, so I asked her if she really trusted the vaccine to be what she was told. She said “they” told her that if she got the virus after being fully vaccinated, meaning two vaccinations, she would not die or become seriously ill. I asked if she had any adverse reaction to the vaccination and she said just a little soreness. That conversation started me thinking about how even the experts at CDC now say that masks outdoors are no longer necessary. The recent email dump of 3200 emails from chief expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, revealed that he has known for over a year that masks are ineffective at stopping or preventing the virus and that the chances of contracting the virus outdoors are virtually zero. Despite all that, I still see many people wearing masks outdoors, so I wonder why. Stuck to the front door of a business I visited recently was a sign that said no one is to enter these premises without a mask. The choice there is simple, put on a mask or go someplace else but outdoors makes me wonder. Searching for answers to my questions, I found that I was not the only one with such questions. Filmmaker Ami Horowitz does a you tube show called Ami on the loose and the show I watched was him walking around New York City interviewing people wearing masks. His first question after getting their agreement to talk to him was normally, have you been vaccinated. Virtually every person seemed happy to talk to him and almost all of them said they had been vaccinated. His next question was why are you wearing a mask outdoors if you have been vaccinated? He tried to set them free by telling them the CDC said you no longer have to wear it outdoors. When he said that a few took their mask off and thanked him. Most did not, however, and they had different but similar reasons. Some typical answers: I just like it!

All Roads Lead to the Vaccine
Darrell Castle talks about how most of the original illogic and unanswered questions about the COVID virus have now been answered and those answers lead us toward the vaccine. Transcription / Notes ALL ROADS LEAD TO THE VACCINE Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is Friday the 4th day of June 2021 and today this report will talk about how most of the original illogic and unanswered questions about the COVID virus have now been answered and those answers lead us toward the vaccine. Why all the unnecessary fearmongering in the beginning, apparently to herd the world toward the vaccine, and that is the subject of this report. Here in Memphis Tennessee the Castle family is getting along just fine enjoying the spring weather and the beauty of nature. Most people would hardly notice the virus still lingers around just waiting for us to relax our guard. The family daughter is even starting the road back to normal or what passes for normal in California. I often used to ask myself why. That is in the beginning of the virus when everyone was very afraid, and no one seemed to know exactly what was going to happen. Why did countries all over the world suddenly adopt the same lockdown policies when those policies had never been tried before. Why were certain medications and supplements attested by many doctors as life saving suppressed and never really tested? Why were physicians at the top of the virology pyramid canceled by big tech and big media? Why did the big media companies put out the same hysteria that almost scared us all to death? Maybe there was and is more to this story than meets the eye. Maybe the reason for all these things was to steer the world to the vaccine. Is it fair to say the virus seems to have its own political agenda and its agenda always points to the vaccine? Those who manage the virus protocols for the world have been quite open in their goal of vaccinating every human on earth. That would seem to be illogical and completely unnecessary but still our managers are taking extraordinary steps to make sure it happens. For example, June is national action month to motivate us to get vaccinated by the 4th of July. I suppose the reason some are refusing is simple laziness. Maybe if the government paid us we would comply. Would it not be fair to say then, that much of the unnecessary hysteria was to help achieve that goal. It would work like the old western movies about the cattle drive. Something panics the herd, and they all start running often with fatal consequences. For us the end of the panicked running was the vaccine. Just as the cattle were too dumb to know that running was not good for them and they acted out of instinctive panic we are told to just get in line for the shot. When you ask the doctor, who insists that you get the vaccine, if it confers immunity from the virus all he can say is there’s a lot we don’t know. Well, that was a truthful answer in the vaccine beginning but there is a lot we do know right now. Let me take a moment to quote Dr. Peter McCullough, board certified cardiologist and internal medicine physician thanks to the website of Dr. Mercola. “I think this whole pandemic, from the beginning, was about the vaccine. All roads lead to the vaccine. There are plenty of places in southeast Asia and Europe where they are laying the groundwork for compulsory vaccination. Compulsory! That means someone pins you to the ground and puts a needle in you. That’s how bad the stakeholders want vaccination.” So, according to Dr. McCullough it’s all about the vaccine. The mask mandates, the lockdowns, the social distancing, the closed schools, the ruined businesses the closed churches, the daily death count on virtually all media, as well as the scenes of brave physicians and nurses clad head to foot in hazmat suits caring for rooms full of dying patients was

Our Post Covid World
Darrell Castle talks about the world post Covid, in term of the most prominent things happening in the world today — what has been gained and what has been lost in the past 15 months. Transcription / Notes OUR POST COVID WORLD Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. Today is Friday, May 28th in the year 2021. This is also Memorial Day Weekend. Those of us fortunate enough to have jobs in this post COVID world will get a 3-day weekend. This Castle Report will talk about the world post COVID, known here after as simply the virus. What are the most prominent things happening in the world today and what has changed in the world post virus? What have we gained and what have we lost? The Castle family is doing well this Memorial Day Weekend. Despite the virus, we are looking forward to 3-days off work. Joan and I will pause to remember on Monday as we usually attend a ceremony at the local Veterans Cemetery to pay our respects. The family daughter is doing well with her husband in California as she told me by video just a couple of days ago. This Memorial Day Report is a good chance to also pause and remember or at least review what is happening in this country and in the world since the advent of the virus protocols some 15 months ago. Yes, approximately 15 months ago we were told to just shelter in place for 2 weeks to flatten the curve. Two weeks became 15 months and counting as the virus protocols have caused what will probably be irreparable damage to the American and world economies. The world is different now and today I want to take a brief look at some of those differences. The most obvious difference that I see is the atmosphere of fear that seems to pervade the country. Fear seems to have subsided a little, however, at least among those low-risk people who just needed an excuse not to be afraid. Here in the River City of Memphis Tennessee we are fortunate to have good leadership at both the state and local level, so we were kept well informed, and fear stayed at a minimum. When the mayor sought to comply with federal and state guidelines, he did not simply order churches to close as did Gavin Newsome in California. Instead, he gathered as many pastors as he could on a conference call, explained the situation, and asked for their permission and cooperation. I know of no harassment or threats against pastors as occurred in California. The situation in California became so bad that pastors were threatened with arrest, but some did not back down to the intimidation and sued the Governor for what they alleged to be discrimination in the way he determined what business was “essential” and what was not. Just a few days ago the court ruled in favor of the churches and ordered the governor to pay $1.35 million in attorney fees. Basically, the court ruled that a state cannot arbitrarily rule churches non-essential, while ruling other favored businesses essential. So many were upset with the Governor of California’s heavy-handed tactics which he demanded ordinary people obey while he did not have to obey, that a recall petition was circulated against him. The last count I saw had the signature totals at about 3 times the number needed to put the measure on the ballot so a recall election will be held pursuant to California law. California was not the only state to reject their governor’s actions. Tom Wolf, Governor of Pennsylvania, had his emergency powers taken away and given in part to the legislature by referendum vote. The primary thing that came out of the lockdown protocols as far as I am concerned is that they did more harm than good, and apparently, they did not stop the spread of the virus. The states that did not lockdown, such as South Dakota, and Florida, fared no worse and in many respects much better than those who locked down for the entire year. Some states are still not fully open d

Insightful
The Castle Report is a very insightful world view.
Terrible quality
It sounds like he’s reading a document rather than speaking naturally. His politics are slanted so pro republican you might wonder why his party exists.
