One of the best reasons to become a Precinct Committeeman is that you gain an education just sitting through all the meetings. As candidates and local officials give their spiels, you learn a lot about different personalities, the duties of each government position, the power of networking, and the difference between a politician and a public servant. Recently, my district’s County Supervisor board member gave a valuable account of everything his office has been up to over the last year and a half.
For context, this statesman ran for the office after a successful stint as mayor in a town where he was celebrated for his service. The gentleman gave the sense that the obligations of his new job were bigger and more challenging than he had expected. Over twenty minutes, he lamented that another board member went on record calling him “stupid”, he expressed his surprise that a strong majority of his job was taking care of the roads, and he also shared his chagrin that any decision that gets made has to be done with the consideration that immediate lawsuits will ensue.
This man, whom I consider an honorable and true statesman, sounded overwhelmed and debilitated. But then he glowingly shared some of his proud accomplishments. One of which is a new park opening soon. As he enthusiastically gave details about the fresh grass, the fencing, the lighting, and the quality of the pavilions, it made me curious about what all has to come together for a public leader to pull off something as “simple” as opening a park in his town.
This past Easter Sunday I walked my son and daughter around another nearby park. Instead of searching for colored eggs, we went around and examined all the particulars that went into constructing this multi-million dollar park. We found company names for the contractors that installed the lamp posts, those who poured the concrete and the asphalt, a company name on the water fountains, and we even found an obscure Indiana company logo marked on the picnic tables. My son wondered if they actually made the tables in Indiana or if the company just mediated deals between manufacturers in another part of the world and clients here in the US.
There are literally hundreds of companies involved in pulling off such an ordinary feat for any town or city. And this is just a public park. My kids and I had a discussion from there about how many contractors are involved in building public facilities around the country. My daughter opined, “Gee, if I had a construction company, I would sure want to help build a public park, a library, or a school” (ok, I ask guiding questions when we have our discussions). My son responded, “If I made modern ‘medicine’, I would sure want a big contract with the Federal Government.” (Ok, I have been asking A LOT of guiding questions over the last two years).
Cronyism?
Of course owning a construction company and developing good relationships with the right politicians in your town, state, or perhaps even federal government, in order to gain a government contract, is not necessarily nefarious. In fact, it’s categorically different from providing a pre-packaged and gene-editing forced solution (“vaccination”) to an overblown pandemic and then influencing politicians to force the “solution” onto people.
I don’t see my Supervisory Board member as a crony. He’s doing his best and has a budget within which to serve his constituents. But his presentation made me wonder, “How many politicians get elected already having networks of contractors, businesses, and other interest groups all lined up and ready to eat before he even takes office? Is that Cronyism? How many cronies are out there and is this actually the way most of the real world works?”
And how about the most successful companies and entrepreneurs in the world? Do they rise to the top by sheer ability, grit, and determination and an ability to always keep an edge over their competition? Perhaps many do. But study the success of companies such as General Electric, McDonald’s, or Pfizer, and you will see Cronyism defined over and over again.
Is this the way the biggest companies within their field have to operate in order to succeed? By getting cozy with political forces who can impose the success of their companies? Do the most successful companies and businessmen have to earn all of the government contracts by being “part of the club”? Do they have to do things like use the force of “law” to strangle out competition and force “customers” to take their product (looking at you, Pfizer)? That I am not sure of. Just as I know there are politicians who come in and play the crony game even at the most local level, I know that there are also dedicated statesman who take their lumps trying to do the right things for their community in a job they don’t quite understand, while simply trying to deliver a nice park.
Quite a prelude into the questions I would like to explore in today’s article, but hopefully it is a helpful one. Who is Elon Musk? Is he a sincere man actually looking to serve humanity? Is he a crony? Can I trust him? Finally, will he actually do something good for me and other persons of good will by purchasing Twitter?
Is Elon Musk a Crony? Is he “in the club”?
Most people have a hard time believing that one can become the richest man in the world without being a crony or a member of the “overworld”. Many cynically assume that one who has the success of an Elon Musk must, by necessity, network with all the legacy politicians, media personalities, and social engineering clubs (such as Davos or the UN) to constantly have the success that would raise one to “Plutocrat” status. Or at least to any sort of status where one could impact day to day WORLD policy in a significant manner and on a regular basis.
For example, Bill Gates was raised by a father who was on the board of Planned Parenthood. Gates ascended to the status of greatest experimenter on human guinea pigs, not by his own genius and drive, but because he was well networked even before he was born on third base. Driving in a run amounted to him using the connections his family had earned, ambitiously executing on some good ideas, acquiring exceptional business acumen, and stealing some great ideas from others within his field. All of this was the recipe for him to become the richest man in the world in his own heyday.
A cynical critic may have considered the following, though, when Musk made this and similar tweets: of all the companies who benefited dramatically from the Covid lockdowns, Elon Musk and Tesla were at the greatest disadvantage. This will not be the last time I share this factoid, but the top seven companies of the world are Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, Netflix, and Tesla. Combined, they make up 40% of the S&P index. These companies all soared in value during the lockdowns, which for a few of them, it came as no surprise. Many Americans were quite happy sitting on their backsides playing the role of “couch hero”, saving the world “together” by heroically staying locked in doors, Google searching, watching Netflix, getting into flame wars with acquaintances on Facebook, and enjoying those “essential workers” at Amazon getting out of the way of the robots to fill their orders at the warehouse.
But what about Musk? Well, making Tesla cars (in California) is not an easy task when people have to actually bolt things together in real space and run the physical factory, but they are stuck at home ordering Amazon “essentials” and watching Cuties on Netflix. Although I certainly appreciated Musk’s willingness to fight for his right to run his business, him making similar tweets to what the average half-awake American should have been making at that time does not elevate him to conservative hero status.
That being said, I am damn glad that he did take whatever heat he took for such politically unpopular statements. Collaterally, it drove pressure to help much smaller people get back to running their own businesses. I will appreciate those swings from the big arms of any man against the Beast any day.
But true conservative or not, Elon Musk has demonstrated in the last two years that he is willing to do business where it makes fiscal sense, regardless of political ramifications, and he has spoken out against big tech censorship time and time again. Perhaps he has “evolved” a bit while watching the outrageous political games and deprivation of human rights since Covid began. Perhaps he has been moved to champion for the little man, while the rest of Big Tech, the “in on it” Plutocrats, swamp creatures, deep state, Sorosian type bad actors, etc… have spent the time simply blood sucking the average Joe dry.
Whatever his motivation, I will take it.
Some Warning Signs
Nevertheless, there are some warning signs that should be considered. Elon Musk may have a recent reputation for throwing a couple of political lifelines to the little guy, but personally and professionally, he has done a few things that should make one cautious before singing Hosannas.
Regarding his personal life, the man has gone through three divorces and has five children via IVF. He has also had another two children since, one via surrogate with the strange pop singer “Grimes”, with whom he has had an on and off “semi” relationship with since 2018. While I don’t expect all of my political allies to share all of my moral understandings, this is definitely a sign of personal instability. On Grimes, it is worth taking a look into her reputation as a Transhumanist cultural icon, and her 2018 song, “We Appreciate Power”, which is a hymn to a future Artificial Intelligence god. More on that here. Also, why is Elon Musk posing with her while wearing inverted Roman Clerics (white coat with black Roman collar) at the 2018 Met Gala?
But hey, I desperately voted for Donald Trump, twice, knowing that he paid off a porn star whom he committed adultery with, so how critical can I be here?
Why does Elon Musk call humanity cyborgs? Essentially, his theory is that our quick access to apps, GPS, and the internet at all times on our cell phones has already rendered us “cyborgs” by nature. While I can relate to often feeling like I am talking to broken robots in my day to day life, this analogy reflects an unhealthy anthropological thesis. And for someone who is growing in his world influence on humanity, I would rather he view man more traditionally as a creature who is part animal and part image of the divine (intellect and free choice of the will) than part animal and part evolving computer. Is that really too much to ask?
Honestly though, why does he choose to refer to humanity as proto-cyborgs? Well ultimately its probably just a line he uses to promote his most relevant and recent highly Transhumanistic project, the Neurolink.
This is the most concerning thing about Elon Musk. And let me quash any opportunity for equivocation here. That Elon Musk believes that his developing invention of a microchip to implant into everyone’s brain is just the next step in the evolution of cyborg-kind is deeply deeply disturbing. That most people are oblivious to this or are not even whimpering in the slightest about it demonstrates how dehumanized mankind probably already is.
The Transhumanist agenda is in full swing, and Elon Musk is a trailblazer in its advancement. To understand the full ramifications of this or to see why this should disturb you, see previous articles, or the latest podcast visit I made discussing the Transhumanism dilemma. Our very human nature, our moral ideals, our ability to resist a self-destructive grand social engineering program and deliberate morphing of humanity away from hard working, self respecting, object to being objectified persons is all being compromised at singularity type speed before our very eyes. And most of our eyes are either totally shut or are distracted behind a pair of VR goggles.
Elon Musk is a major figure in the advancement of the Transhumanist agenda, even if it is just from a software/hardware standpoint and (hopefully) not from a social engineering “in on it” standpoint.
Proceed with your praises of Musk with caution.
Still hope he buys Twitter!
I did a pros cons list to Elon Musk buying Twitter and the pros well outweighed the cons. Currently, Twitter merely amounts to a massive tool, enjoyed by leftist and globalist elitists, used to advance narratives of the left and to keep them “trending”. It is used to literally influence international states of affairs through troll farms and troll bots, however organically, inorganically, remotely, or proximity they are manufactured. Period. Nothing that “trends” truly trends on Twitter. Algorithms and close oversight by the most extreme leftist warrior employees of the company turn a machine that influences billions of peoples' not-so-original thoughts on a daily basis.
Many humans today (again, broken robot) live lives so divorced form a true epistemology of how truth works and what makes something true, that the maxim “the truth is more or less whatever is trending” essentially drives their ever saddening lives. It’s like we are surrounded by humanoids who are ready to upswipe on their phones for an update on whatever is “true” at that moment according to the “truth” manufacturers. And for what reasons do these manufacturers play this charade with such people? Because they are cronies. They assume that everyone is a moron and will simply walk in a file line when they say so. It’s the only way they know how to gain their excessive money and power. What is trending? “Put a mask on”, “Stand six feet apart”, “The Covid numbers are surging again!”, “Trump led an insurrection”, etc… Ring any bells?
So how much power does Elon Musk take from political and globalist swamp creatures and cronies if he succeeds in buying Twitter? Probably a lot. Which is why they fear him taking away their perpetual world system “cheat codes”. But where will the power now shift? To Musk?
Despite the warnings, as the world currently stands, I believe it would be better for Elon Musk to gain the control of Twitter than for it to sit within the current clutches of the anti-free speech Draculas. Let's hope Musk is the mere creator of Transhuman technology and an ambitious but sincere man who just wants to fulfill his childhood dream of going to Mars. Like Trump, and like the Supervisory board member I observed last week, perhaps he is a legitimate outsider who wants to fulfill his own fancy existential destination while serving (as he believes) humanity in his own way.
Elon Musk may be an eccentric weirdo with deep personal problems, but I would rather take my chances with him landing a strike against some of the most wretched men of the Earth than accept that such men are in total control.
God help us.
Seriously, God Help us
Do not believe that Elon Musk buying Twitter would amount to some sort of monumental victory over the bad actors of the world. It won’t. There will not be dancing Ewoks playing storm trooper helmets like drums while Palpatine’s statue topples to fireworks and music. Just like the victory the Canadian truckers scored over Covid, to at least get it to mysteriously vanish for the time being, the fight is not over. Our struggle against Satan and his earthly henchmen will not end... ever. The quest to emasculate your sons, to gender confuse your daughters, to force your children into accepting a new sub-standard of living involving bio-techno control of their every waking moment, and the stuffing of them into 400 square foot tiny houses will still rage on and on and on.
Elon Musk is no savior. The only man who can save you from the evils of today’s world already has. Jesus Christ suffered, died, and rose to save you from your sins. In the spirit of the current Easter season, let’s celebrate that reality, whether the Twitter purchase goes through or not.
Regardless of how the potential buy out goes, I still think things are about to get worse before they get worse. I don’t think the upcoming midterms are going to give us overwhelming new hope in earthly solutions, and I see the middle class of America as living on borrowed time. Furthermore, the next generation is utterly unprepared to preserve America’s national sovereignty and general success.
If anything, this is the time to embrace your real savior. Not your wife who may be in denial about the current state of the world, not your political party, not your woke corporate America workplace, and not the hierarchical Church who acts in lockstep with the Great Resetters. This is the time to embrace God. For the days ahead, you are going to need Him.
Hold the line. Say your rosaries, frequent the sacraments, work diligently on the apostolate you are involved in, and, above all, stay holy my friend.
