What happened to the British is happening to America. Both nations became empires and the people living in Britain & America were used ... abused ... and then ultimately left for dead. Here's Jonathan Swift in 1712, writing about how the Empire was destroying Britain. [My caps.] “We are destroying many thousand lives, exhausting our substance, NOT FOR OUR OWN INTEREST, which would be but common prudence; not for a thing indifferent which would be sufficient folly; but perhaps TO OUR OWN DESTRUCTION which is perfect madness.” Exactly the same words can describe America today. America goes around the world, destroying millions of lives, not for our own interest ... but our own destruction. Jonathan Swift named the beneficiaries as “that set of people who are called the monied men; such as had raised vast sums by trading with stocks and funds and lending upon great interest and premiums; whose perpetual harvest is war.” America's version is Wall Street and the Military-Industrial Complex -- "whose perpetual harvest is war."

In the "Golden Age" Americans can't pay their electricity bills ... at record levels. At the same time, the President wants more money printing and more price increases that result from it. Oh, and it's a "national mission" to keep pumping money into the AI bubble ... which cause skyrocketing electric bills.

The colonies were overwhelmingly populated with Christians. That’s true. But many of the elites (including Washington) were Freemasons and Deists. Their “Supreme Being” and “Creator” were not Christian or the Holy Trinity. Almost all of the 13 new states had a religious test to serve in their governments. You had to be Christian. The Federal Government, however, had no religious test. Long-story-short —- The secular federal government ultimately took over control of EVERYTHING — after the “Civil War.” The stripping of Christianity out American society would take place, systematically ever since. Here we are in 2025, with a “national mission,” to create an “artificial intelligence” to completely rule over the broken bones of a once Christian nation.

Fauci - I am the science. Trump - I am the stock market.

Just like Ron Paul. Always hated in the present moment that is filled with tribal emotions… But always proven right when the dust has settled. Massie already has a consistent track record of being right; which will continue. Not because these two men have superpowers… But because pointing out the failure of tyrannical government policies is very easy to do. Yet despite this ease, very few people have the courage to stand against the slings and arrows of tribal emotions.

Community Notes to the rescue on this attempt to rewrite history. This is like someone making the claim hundreds of years from now: "Ron Paul loved central banking. He was a champion of The Federal Reserve."

Textbook example of "I'm from government and I'm here to help." Government decided that it would provide better "access" to college. That better "access" came through student loans. The loans drove up the price of college, and buried the students in debt. Now the degrees are not worth what they used to be, and 25% of the graduates are unemployed.

The government is signaling to us that AI companies will be on the bailout list at some point. The U.S. government fixes nothing (especially not itself). It only props up failures in the market that it has distorted. Taxpayer money and Fed counterfeiting (which further destroys the money) are used to prop up the politically-favored. Whether it be: - Mortgage Backed Securities - Big Banks - Buying equities in companies - Bailing out other failed nations Another piling is added to the collapsing "system." Eventually all of the pilings will snap in half. And then we'll be forced to do the right things for once.

Future bailout signal. Hold your wallets.

It doesn't matter how "smart" AI is, or becomes. We must keep AI in perspective. It can be, and is, helpful. But it cannot "run everything" and create a utopia where people are sitting around in superabundance, without work or poverty anywhere in the world. Human civilization functions on billions of individual decisions, and DISPERSED knowledge. NOT centralized knowledge. We each have SUBJECTIVE value scales that are changing at every moment. Those value scales are always private. That knowledge cannot be known by AI, no matter how much data is collected. Our desires are in constant flux. Sometimes we make rational decisions ... and very often emotional decisions. We make our decisions to act in our own local situations, with resources that are immediately available to us. We PURPOSEFULLY choose our own individual ends, and the means that we will use to TRY to achieve them. We make decisions in our minds, and with our hearts. No AI, no matter how "smart" it is can "run" human civilization. Yet, as with all the utopian schemes that come and go ... humanity will probably end up learning this the hard way.

We always live in a world with utopia peddlers. All of the "ism's" ... The latest seems to be some kind of tech version. The key is not to get bamboozled by them. They'll always be around. It gives people with a lot of money something to do. But utopia, this life is not. Trying to create utopia ignores the nature of this world and the nature of man himself. It should be obvious that there's a lot of messed up stuff happening all the time. My job revolves around pointing it out in the political world on a daily basis. I'm never short on material. The longer we live, the more we tend to realize that the messed up stuff isn't going away. This is because it's not a matter of rearranging atoms and molecules. It's an inside job -- greed, envy, addictions, wars, sins...etc. You can't engineer these non-material things away. Neither is it some kind of mathematical equation that we need to answer. But there is good news. "Gospel" literally means "good news." Instead of leaving us in a perpetual doom loop, God became man to lead the way out of here. We are called to follow Him. But what does it mean to "follow Christ"? Unfortunately, Jesus has often been reduced to a namby-pamby hippie-like figure who simply told people "to be nice to each other." Yes, we are supposed to be nice to one another. But God didn't dwell amongst us for this very simple reason. Anyone can tell others to be nice. God came to dwell amongst us to show us the way. And He made it very clear as to what the way is. We are to take up our crosses DAILY and follow Him. We all have crosses, without exception. And we need to carry them every day. We are called to pick up our cross (let's say it's drinking too much) and "follow Him" up to Calvary. When we reach the top, we are to plant our cross next to His and climb up! That's very hard ... and gets harder. The temptation is to want to climb down from our cross. Think of the thief on the cross next to Jesus who told Jesus to climb down. He saved others, why doesn't He just climb down and save Himself and the two thieves. The Lord looked him and said nothing. God does not respond when man seeks to climb down and keep his sins intact. Jesus knew that by hanging there, He was opening up the gates of Heaven to all who choose to follow Him. Man wants to climb down. God hangs there. The thief on the other side did the exact opposite. He chose to hang there with the Lord; and asked that the Lord remember Him when He enters His Kingdom. Jesus looked over at that thief and spoke. When man conforms himself to God, God responds. On that day, they'd be together in Paradise. That's what it means to Follow Jesus. To carry our cross and hang there with Him. Any pain that we feel, He felt for the sins of the entire world, past, present, and future! If we climb down. We are to climb back up; as many times as it takes until we hang there and crucify that which is messed up within us. When you hang there and crucify your drinking problem, and it's finally dead... Back to the beginning you go. Another fresh cross will be waiting there for you to grab, and carry up to Calvary. This time it may be something like greed, or envy. As one problem disappears, and new one is waiting to be crucified. A utopia, this world is not. Following Him is to wage war (within) on everything that is not of Him. Daily.

Trump wages wars for Israel just the same as Bush did. When Bush was doing it, however, most people had no idea. But today, Trump brags about it! Bush would hire Rubio and Hegseth … he would endorse and campaign for Lindsey Graham … he’d try kick out Massie. Bush/Trump .. whatever .. status quo.

In 1776, the American colonies were overwhelmingly Christian, between 80-90%. The Constitution was based on the Catholic principle of subsidiarity. Local control. (That has been destroyed. All power now comes from DC). Foreign policy was, as Jefferson put it, "Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations entangling alliances with none." (That has been destroyed by empire, endless war, and a bankrupting "entangling alliance" with Israel). The money was sound -- gold and silver. (That has been destroyed by The Fed and counterfeit dollars). Christianity has been relegated to the sidelines as a personal intellectual hobby. In 2025, American society reflects this, in every respect.

So our "national security" is tied to pedophiles and blackmail? And justice for these crimes threatens our "national security"? Our nation has an extremely big problem if that's the case.

When you look at what is desired for Venezuela, you can see why Trump keeps the Ukraine war going. The American Empire is about taking control of resources (either directly or via puppet governments). Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves on earth. So the Empire wants control of it. It wants Venezuela's oil to be the Empire's asset. The same applies to Russia, which is the world's cornucopia of natural resources. The Empire's goal is to split Russia into pieces, and to control its resources. Trump obviously had no intention of Making America Great Again. His goal is to try to save the Empire that has destroyed America.

Trump saying that Epstein is all about Democrats means that: Trump has ruined his own reputation to protect Democrats, to shield Democrats from justice. He put the nation through all of this for the benefit of Democrats. That's the story he's going with? Trump has talked himself into a corner. We all know that this is not just about Democrats but the entire government.

Wars for Israel have been all cost for America. And Trump continues it with gusto. Think about that as you read this.

Poverty is a consequence of sin. Not a direct one-to-one consequence. A person in poverty is not always poor as a consequence of his own sin. But poverty’s existence (in general) is a consequence of sin … greed, envy, war, etc. Neither AI nor robots can change the human heart and eliminate sin. Even the AI that I’ve questioned is “smart” enough to say that no, it cannot eliminate sin. Poverty can also be a mental thing too. Many of us know people who immediately get rid of any money that they may come into. Lottery winners are notorious for this. There are also people who take a vow of poverty, because they want to focus on nothing besides God. So ELIMINATING poverty is not only impossible, but impractical. That’s not to say that we shouldn’t always, with a charitable heart, seek to alleviate as much poverty as we can. We absolutely should. But alleviate is not the same as eliminate. Christ said: “The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me.” So to believe that man (or his tools) will ELIMINATE poverty is to say that Jesus was lying to us.

America is hardly much different. The government is looked to solve every problem with legislation ... which just multiplies the problems. How much legislation a U.S. politician is able to pass is gauged as "success." Those who oppose, and who don't pile on more legislation, are accused of "getting nothing done." Like Thomas Massie.

The Biden Administration was the embarrassment of the world. The Trump Administration is the same.
