Building the exit while ignoring the fire is not wisdom, it’s abandonment. Yes, we build. Yes, we create parallel systems. Yes, Bitcoin and Nostr represent genuine alternatives to corrupted institutions. But the idea that focusing on systemic abuse of children is somehow playing into “their” hands is a moral cop out dressed up as strategic thinking. You can frame a house while calling the fire department. You can plant a garden while still reporting the predator in your neighborhood. These are not competing priorities. They are complementary responsibilities. The children being trafficked and abused by elites are not a distraction from building a better world. They are the reason we build it. If our new systems are just escape pods for those privileged enough to understand Bitcoin while we turn our backs on the most vulnerable, then we have built nothing of lasting value. The powerful want silence, not attention. They want us looking away, not asking questions. They want us to accept that some crimes are too big to prosecute, some networks too connected to expose. Calling that acceptance “focus” is exactly the kind of rationalization that lets evil persist. We build the exit AND we kick down the door. Anything less is just building a nicer cage while pretending we found freedom. View quoted note →

Don’t you see it now? The scales are being pulled off your eyes. The deep slumber is over. The nightmare is more of a reality. It mostly is. Evil exists. The devil exists. And since he exists, God exists. And God sent His only Son on the world’s greatest rescue mission ever to save His people. The elites of this world worship not knowing that their god is destroyed in the end. Governments will be put under the foot of Christ. All of His enemies are subjected under His foot. What you see in this world is not merely physical. You see it now, do you not? The unseen, spiritual war happening right now. It is messy. It is disgusting. Nothing is going as it seems, but I assure you that it is. Nothing is out of God’s sovereign control. Since you are awake now, you have two options. Two. You acknowledge the Lord Jesus Christ and submit to Him and walk the narrow road, the hard road which leads to eternal life. Or you take the broad road that leads to eternal destruction, worshipping the god of this world, satan. My prayers are with you. GM image

The Epstein files represent potentially the most significant investigation into elite criminal networks in modern history. We’re talking about documented evidence of trafficking and abuse that touches some of the most powerful people in the world. So where is the coverage? Where is the transparency? An administration that promised unprecedented openness to the American people has gone conspicuously silent on this issue. The files sit there, documented and real, yet the conversation around them has been muted at best. This deserves our attention. This deserves answers. When those who promised to drain the swamp refuse to even acknowledge what might be the deepest, darkest part of it, we need to ask why. The victims of these crimes deserve justice. The public deserves truth. Our children deserve a system that pursues predators regardless of their wealth or connections. Why are we accepting this silence? What happened to the promise of exposing corruption wherever it exists? These are not partisan questions. These are human questions. If we cannot unite around protecting the most vulnerable and holding the powerful accountable for abuse, what can we unite around? The lack of outrage is itself outrageous.

We’re not taught that the Federal Reserve is private banks creating money from nothing and charging us interest. We’re not taught that our foreign policy has been captured by lobbying interests that don’t represent American citizens. We’re not taught that our military has been used as corporate enforcers since before Butler’s confession. We’re not taught that our media has been compromised since the 1950s. We’re not taught that declassified documents prove our government has planned false flag attacks on its own citizens. We’re taught American exceptionalism. We’re taught we’re the good guys. We’re taught our wars are about freedom. The only question left is how long are we going to keep pretending this isn’t happening?

Not exhaustive. Not complete. Just documented facts they never taught you. Start here. Verify everything. Then decide for yourself. View article →

“I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.” -Smedley Butler, Major General USMC (1935) I can relate. Boy do I have some thoughts to write about today!! Also, good morning Nostr.

Every institution the state touches transforms from serving its stated mission into serving the imperatives of power maintenance and rent extraction. The pattern holds across schools, medicine, banking, housing, and manufacturing because the architecture of concentrated authority corrupts all systems it claims to improve.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Historically, status came from demonstrable value. The blacksmith who made better tools. The storyteller who held attention. The builder whose structures stood. You couldn’t fake competence because reality tested you. Social media broke that. It created a parallel status system where perception became untethered from reality. You don’t need to be good. You need to appear good at the right time to the right algorithm. Pretending for some machine to think you’re relevant. What makes people quit Nostr is that they’ve never had to build real value before. They’ve only had to simulate it.

Bitterness consumes from within. It demands everything. Choose release instead. Seek peace. Forgive as you receive forgiveness. Let old disagreements rest. Confess your own failings, extend grace, surrender it to the Lord, and walk forward.
