Charles Carreon, The Arizona Kid

Identified as a trouble maker by the authorities since childhood, and resolved to live up to the description, Charles Carreon soon discovered that mischief is most effectively fomented through speech. Having mastered the art of flinging verbal pipe-bombs and molotov cocktails at an early age, he refined his skills by writing legal briefs and journalistic exposes, while developing a poetic style that meandered from the lyrical to the political. Journey with him into the dark caves of the human experience, illuminated by the torch of an outraged sense of injustice.

Liberation Day: Curtains Rise on the New World Disorder

April 12, 2025

Cast in Irony

When Bush the First spoke the words, “New World Order,” he birthed a thousand conspiracy theories that nourish a vast, expanding fan base of believers. Trump coined “Liberation Day,” and given its extraordinary popularity as meme fodder, it may well show similar permanence in modern speech. This typically Trumpian, which is to say Orwellian, expression, is cast in irony that will gleam brightly through the ages, impervious to the rust of familiarity. Because the consequences will last forever.

The US Has Liberated Itself from the Burden of World Economic Leadership

What did Trump liberate us from? He freed us from world economic leadership, and pitched us over a cliff into a spiral of increasing national debt, coupled with decreasing resources with which to pay it. The ill-advised maneuver has happened, and cannot be retracted. And to think -- it was primarily a matter of presentation. For my entire life, I have seen how US Presidents represented us on the world stage. Dressed in a tuxedo, unflappable, in control, holding all the cards and administering the game. The United States runs this game by issuing stable, reliable debt of unquestioned reliability, payable in dollars that keep their value with respect to other world currencies.

King Dollar

Dollars have been the hardest of all money in two senses -- unbreakable in their value, and difficult to acquire. Most other countries can only borrow money from international bankers if they promise to repay it in dollars. Why? Because then it doesn’t matter if the debtor country devalues their own currency – the debt is payable in dollars. This makes the United States the King of Debtors. Until Trump’s second term, everyone in the game wanted to lend us money. In a couple of moves, that all changed. Trump ditched the formal presentation and abandoned the cool projection of calm control and mastery that the United States has always relied upon to maintain its financial authority, swapping it for an insecure, unstable, anxious, urgent demand for big changes in the game that Trump had discovered was somehow “unfair” to the dealer, the USA, the issuer and lender of the world’s most important money. Suddenly, the emperor had no clothes. Indeed, he might as well have been posting dick pics on TruthSocial – the world’s reaction could not have been more negative. And you know, you don’t need to do anything really stupid more than once. From then on, everyone will remember you for it.

The Suicide King

So for whom was it really Liberation Day? For the rest of the world. On April 9th and 10th, the world was liberated from the illusion that the United States was sure to act rationally. Insane import tariffs went into effect, far more punitive than expected, and the word was out. Trump had channeled his ineptitude in financial matters into a frenzy of self-destructive acts. Assuming the invulnerability of the nation’s finances, he did the Titanic’s captain one better – he piloted the ship of state directly for the largest iceberg he could find, shouting, “I’m gonna move you, baby!” As the horrendous sounds of a mountain of ice tearing holes in metal bulkheads terrified all aboard, Trump was pumping his fist, and shouting like Slim Pickens in the closing scene of Dr. Strangelove, gleefully riding the nuclear missile down to ground zero, and kickstarting Armageddon.

Crazy Pays a Premium

The world saw this insane spectacle and took shelter. From what? From the impending collapse of our finances. Kind of like yanking our credit cards, bond traders world wide started dumping US Debt Obligations, aka “Treasury Bonds” or “T-Bills.” They dumped them so fast that sellers of T-Bills had to take big losses to sell. So bonds got cheaper, so what? The interest rate goes up. And who pays the interest on T-Bills? You and me. We are the hamsters cranking that interest payment debt wheel, and except for a few aberrant moves, every administration that has ever breathed the air of Washington D.C. has lived by the principle that keeping the government’s borrowing rate low is good financial policy, and good politics. The government’s credit card got jacked from 3.9% to 4.5% in one day, increasing the total amount of interest payments by around 12.5%. Since our interest payments are already eating up 16% of the budget, we need this like a hole in the head.

Goodbye Dollar Stores

And what about consumer prices? Having not connected cheap consumer goods with “China,” Trumpers have been celebrating Trump’s tariff war as if they really wanted to pay $45 for a $12 t-shirt at WalMart, $100 for a $40 tool at Harbor Freight, or $3 instead of $1 for a pack of plastic face-shavers. It seems quite likely that, with a trade war with China in full swing, we’ll see Dollar Stores going belly up nationwide. That’ll make a lot of rednecks unhappy, but will they connect their unhappiness with their favorite President? I wouldn’t touch that bet.

Blood Bath in the Oil Patch

One bright spot -- oil prices have gone down! That’s good, isn’t it? Actually, it sounds a most discordant note for those reciting the “drill baby drill” mantra. US oil drillers have high production costs that only make sense when oil prices are high. Thanks to Trump’s trade war, world economic activity is expected to slow down, and future oil usage will decline accordingly. Thus, crude oil prices have already gone down so much that many oil drillers have suspended operations in the Permian Basin and other fracking zones. Just ask a shale oil man.


Shale boss Bryan Sheffield told Bloomberg that the situation right now is a “blood bath”. “The industry needs to cut immediately and hunker down to let the tariff war play out,” Sheffield was quoted as saying. OilPrice.com


The Fate of the Nation in the Hands of a Madman

How unfortunate that, when a great fool like Trump falls, so many are crushed under the wreckage. No one can destroy a man like himself, and the same holds for nations. A great many fools pulled their ballot levers to elect this fool, and the "wealthiest men in the world," if you can call people devoid of humanity "wealthy," threw their fortunes at his feet to gain his favor by helping him take power. Billions in the bank obviously do not make a person more able to distinguish the shit from the Shinola.

For light to accompany the heat, read the New Statesman article quoted and linked below.


Can the US truly boast that it does not discriminate between assets held by residents and assets held by foreigners, the kind of openness often presented as a condition for a currency to become an international reserve currency? Chinese companies would disagree – and many around the world now wonder if they might be the next target of America’s economic warfare. It is not possible to both create the rules of the game and act like one of the players.

Every time the rule of law is replaced by a system of political favour, investors take note. Their assets might be safer outside of the US, and good alternatives seem to be emerging in Europe and Japan, particularly as new debt will be necessary to fund their announced rearmament.

Finally, as the painful costs of issuing a global reserve currency continue to grow, Donald Trump will find it impossible to resist the need to address these costs. His voters demand action and now dream of a new industrial golden age. Trump may well believe that he can bring it about without sacrificing dollar dominance, but the last few days prove that every action has a reaction. After the recent fracas, he will surely try other ways to implement his agenda, and perhaps with renewed ferocity. King dollar will struggle to survive. The downfall of King Dollar

The Island of Dr. Elon
by Charles Carreon
May 12, 2025

Back in the day, the press had covered Dr. Elon’s lifestyle choices as a billionaire’s idiosyncrasies, unworthy of deep reflection on his real motivation. Given his gossip-worthy penchant for having children through IVF and surrogate mothers, journalistic curiosity about his family lives had been surprisingly shallow. Of course powerful men have maintained harems since the origin of the species, and the press has always ogled these exploits greedily, so the faceless herd can vicariously experience the dream of sexual abundance. Dr. Elon’s serial engagements with surrogate moms, however, lacked the glamorous element of courtship and sensuality, being apparently mere business arrangements. So at the time, no one hazarded a serious explanation for why the world’s most serious man was managing a hive of faceless women to generate offspring.

My paper had clinched an exclusive interview with the great man aboard his orbital space yacht now hanging in geosynchronous orbit over the lush paradise of Muskovia, formerly Greenland, purchased from the Truth Empire in 2055. In the X-bucks coffee parlor of the orbital elevator port, I marveled at the flavor of the coffee. “Real Arabica, grown here in Muskovia,” says the Inuit woman who served me the cup.

The Truth Empire’s forced acquisition of Greenland – prompted by Dr. Elon’s suggestion to the Big Cheese Himself – had been very well-timed. As the developed world lost its coastal cities to the sea, obliterating their civilization, and its agricultural belts turned into neglected wastelands, the vast, icy island thawed. Dr. Elon sold off the ice, using solar powered tugboats to tow icebergs to the sweltering, thirsty southern lands. All things had worked together for the benefit of Dr. Elon, and now I was getting into the world’s only privately owned orbital elevator -- essentially a railgun for shooting a capsule full of people into orbit. Once out of the earth’s gravity pull, with the help of small compressed air rockets, we would dock with Dr. Elon’s enormous space yacht, Extreme Measures.

Inside the warmly upholstered capsule, there were only four others, and a few empty seats. A robot took my overnight bag and guided me to my acceleration couch. When I sat down, an opaque mask came down over my face, the acceleration couch tilted back and strapped me in. Through the intercom, the elevator AI nattered on about the wonders of Muskovia until the scent of a dissociative anaesthetic teased my olfactory sense and the marketing monologue ended. I felt pleasantly separated from my anxiety and relieved of the weight of my physical body. As the long chain of electromagnets steadily accelerated us up into the sky, and G forces mounted steadily to generate escape velocity, I blissfully felt them not at all.

The docking maneuver went smoothly, and we disembarked into the hold of the Extreme Measures, where a wheeled AI assistant met me, took charge of my bag, and lead me to my room. The AI stowed my bag, and paused by the door before leaving to say, “I will return with dinner. You will see Dr. Elon in twelve hours. Be ready.” The door closed.

How could anyone be ready for Dr. Elon? Born in apartheid South Africa in 1971, now, in the year 2130, he was almost 160 years old, and during that time he had advantaged himself in every way possible. No one had photographed him in decades, and I wouldn’t be allowed to do so now. But they said I would see him, making me one of the most privileged people in the world. No pressure.

The AI assistant brought me a passable meal after a couple of hours, and I slept well in orbit, thankful for the artificial gravity generated by the centrifugal rotation of the passenger section of the space yacht.

But the interview took place in a large spherical space where the reality of weightlessness surrounded me. Huge viewscreens mounted on the curving walls replicates the vast expanse of the surrounding universe. Weightless AI's manuevered about, emitting hisses of compressed air, drifting from location to location, busy with tasks only they understood. There below us, hung the Earth, the moon peeping ‘round the blue horizon, and on the other side of the ship, a massive collection of machinery was visible, being assembled by a pair of huge metal hands. Dr. Elon floated in a webwork of instruments and controls. He looked down at me and called out, “Climb the rigging!” I saw the way up to where he was, and clambered up the ropes to reach the deck where he was moored, belted into a captain’s chair with 360 degree rotation, his hands in a pair of haptic gloves, his head in a helmet with a heads up display covering his eyes.

As I reached the platform, he pointed to another chair, and said, “Belt in.” I did as suggested. So this was the man. More machine than man, at this point, and not physically impressive. Then I put two and two together. The haptic gloves on his hands were controlling the two enormous metal hands out in space. With the heads-up display, he was able to see the enormous orbital construction, and with the mechanical hands, he could assemble huge structures with delicacy. Dr. Elon had literally increased his grasp to exceed that of any other human. What else had he done?

He turned towards me, pulled off the gloves, and helmet, and smiled. The smile looked sincere, but not because I thought he was happy to see me. He was happy that I was seeing him, and that I was aware of the privilege involved. But he could not be happy about the subject I had been invited to discuss – the human rights lawsuit filed by his surrogate children. “Shall we begin?” asked Dr. Elon.

I pulled out my slate and stylus and nodded, “Yes, certainly,” tapping the screen to call up my notes. I hit voice record, and the transcript follows.

FT: “Dr. Elon, thank you for inviting the Financial Times of London to interview you about this matter. The accusations made against you are extensive, detailing a course of conduct that at this point stretches over a century. Your unearthly longevity has sparked many questions, and few answers. The lawsuit by your offspring suggests an explanation – that you owe your longevity to them.”

Dr. Elon: “Yes,” answered Dr. Elon, “I understand their claims, and I’m ready to answer them. My lawyers are not at all in agreement with my course of action, but I hire them to listen to me, not the reverse. So ask your question a little more directly.”

FT: “The complaint here alleges that you have been milking your biological offspring of their blood, extracting plasma and other life-giving fluids, and injecting them into yourself. Is that true?”

Dr. Elon: “Well, I don’t do the actual injection myself, but yes, my children have been supplying me with transfusion material, but it has all been done with informed consent, and they get paid. How many pay their children a lifetime salary? All of my child donors receive that.”

FT: “But now they are complaining.”

Dr. Elon: “About what? About what are they complaining? That the checks are not big enough, right? That’s when the lawyers go away, when they get money, right? So that’s what this is all about!”

FT: “They claim it is about human rights. They say you tricked their mothers into signing away their own rights to their own bodies.”

Dr. Elon: “I don’t know what was so tricky about it. They all had their own lawyers. I hired separate counsel for all of them, and they all signed those agreements with full understanding.”

FT: “But those agreements have now been set aside by the courts on the grounds that parents cannot determine the biological destiny of their children.”

Dr. Elon: “At the time, all of the attorneys we consulted with on bio-ethics said there was no law against it.”

FT: “But did you, personally, think it was moral to force these women to sign contracts that allowed gene editing of their embryonic children?”

Dr. Elon: “I’m a scientist. I want to learn. We learn through experiment.”

FT: “Experimenting on your own children?”

Dr. Elon: “Well, I sure wasn’t going to experiment on anyone else’s.”

FT: “And why is that?”

Dr. Elon: “Legal issues.”

FT: “Like what?”

Dr. Elon: “A child is always a lawful donor for a parent. Can you imagine a court telling a child they
can’t donate a kidney to save the life of their father?”

FT: “No.”

Dr. Elon: “Neither could my lawyers.”

FT: “So let’s get onto organ donation. Have any of your children donated organs to you?”

Dr. Elon: “Yes, many of them.”

FT: “But for those donations, would you still be alive today?”

Dr. Elon: “Not likely. And I most definitely would not see. These flawless eyes were the product of one
of my favorite children. Passed on, unfortunately.”

FT: “What do you mean, passed on?”

Dr. Elon: “That child died of a disease that was incurable at the age of eighteen. Willed me her eyes, the dear.”

FT: “But why did you not save her? Why didn’t you edit her genes so that she wouldn’t die of that disease? You would have done it for yourself!”

Dr. Elon: “Ah, but she was not myself. She lived well, she lived with loving care. Her death was foredestined, and her giving me flawless eyesight, likewise. Into each life some rain must fall. One man gathers what another spills.”

FT: “And what of this allegation, one I hope you will deny – that some children were raised to be organ producers. This child who grows kidneys that can be harvested successively. Tell me that’s not true.”

Dr. Elon: “I’m please to tell you, it is not. One of my over-enthusiastic experimenters did start the editing process, but I put my foot down. Waste of resources.”

FT: “What do you mean, waste of resources?”

Dr. Elon: “Well, nowadays, we have the technology to clone organs straight from the tank. Why opt for the Mengelian solution?”

FT: “Well doctor, you used the word. Some people have called you a Mengele.”

Dr. Elon: “I’m no Mengele. He didn’t have a plan, and his so-called experiments produced little knowledge of use. I am on a quest to transcend the limitations of physical existence, and the only laboratories of any use to me are the human bodies that live and die and hold the answer, if answer there might be, in how to live forever. So far, I’ve staved off death for twice the normal span, and our knowledge of organ transplantation has become ever more refined. I anticipate that, someday, I will be able to transplant the brain currently in this body into a younger body grown in precisely the way necessary to receive this brain.”

FT: “But sir, this is arrogant madness. You are saying you would carve your child’s brain out of its cranium, and replace it with your own?”

Dr. Elon: “Oh, surely not. The younger body would be grown with the most vestigial brain possible, just enough to manage the construction and operation of the body – in practice simply the brain stem – no cerebellum, no consciousness.”

FT: “Doctor, you clearly prize your own life highly. How can you regard the lives of others with so little concern.”

Dr. Elon: “Growing up in Praetoria.”

Trump’s Golden Age — Fulfillment of Billionaire Dreams Under the Guise of a Populist Revival
by Charles Carreon
May 23, 2025

Donald Trump is often said to be a populist. True as far as it goes. He was certainly lifted to power by an underclass. He moves the masses, like the famed Argentine populist dictator Perón, but for a different purpose. Perón genuinely sought to uplift the poor, his "descasmisados," the bare-chested people, the ones who didn't wear shirts. Trump's latest crypto-bribery Oval Office stunt made it clearer than ever that, even as he charms the ignorant poor, he serves only the wealthy and himself—an elite masquerading as a savior of the common man while enacting policies that entrench oligarchic power.

Where Juan Perón used debt and state resources to uplift the Argentine working class, Trump deploys the same tools to enrich the already-rich, gut public institutions, and leave America’s lower classes more vulnerable than ever. This is Trump’s Golden Age—a descent into deprivation and imposed austerity for ordinary Americans, while billionaires live their wildest fantasies under the protective cover of nationalist theater.

The Paradox of Modern Populism

The Trump movement sells itself as a crusade for the forgotten American worker, yet its material effects consistently advantage corporations, hedge fund managers, and dynastic wealth. His 2017 tax overhaul slashed corporate tax rates and overwhelmingly favored high-income households. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the top 1% reaped nearly 20% of the total benefits. These tax cuts were recently expanded further by the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” passed by the House in May 2025, extending deductions for capital gains and passthrough income while slashing revenue streams needed to support basic public services. Unlike Perón, who redistributed national wealth toward the working class through wage hikes and nationalizations, Trump redistributes it upward. Medicaid and SNAP are being gutted to pay for tax shelters. This isn’t a safety net; it’s a springboard for wealth extraction.

Protectionism as Propaganda

Perón embraced protectionism to cultivate domestic industries and working-class employment. Trump’s tariffs mimic the form but not the function. Rather than shielding U.S. manufacturing, they serve as symbolic weapons in a culture war. A Yale Budget Lab analysis shows that the average effective U.S. tariff rate in 2025 has surged to levels not seen since 1909. The burden of these tariffs falls on American households—not on the elites. It’s not economic sovereignty; it’s cost inflation wrapped in a flag.

Fiscal Irresponsibility as Strategy

In Argentina, Perón’s debt-fueled populism eventually drove inflation and economic collapse—but at least the working class saw short-term gains. Trump’s fiscal policy is more cynical: national debt explodes to subsidize shareholder dividends and real estate depreciation. Rather than investing in infrastructure, housing, or education, Trump’s policies deepen inequality and widen the fiscal gap. This is not populism. It’s wealth extraction under populist cover.

The Cult of Personality Without Substance

Trump, like Perón, commands a cult-like loyalty. But unlike Perón, he delivers little material improvement to his base. His rallies are performance politics—furious, nostalgic, and hollow. Real power lies not with his voters, but with the private equity billionaires and dynastic donors who fund his campaigns and shape his agenda. The American worker is a stage prop; the corporate class writes the script.

From Perón to Plutocracy

The original Peronization meant redistributing national wealth to the poor, often unsustainably. Under Trump, the term now signals the reverse: an economy weaponized for the rich, defended by a culture war that distracts and divides. This is not about national renewal—it’s about elite preservation. A gilded age masquerading as a revolution.

America, the Betrayed

Trump has delivered not a populist revival but a golden age for the plutocracy. His administration is a crowning achievement in elite deception: convincing millions that their impoverishment is patriotism. This is not the populism of bread and dignity. It is the theater of false promises and golden parachutes. If the United States is ruined economically, it will not be because it tried to help the many—but because it served the few, under the cynical flag of the common man.

Comparing the Trump Outrages to Those of George III
by Charles Carreon
June 13, 2025

To my fellow citizens:

Please find below, in parentheses, commentary that compares the Trump Outrages of the last four months with the litany of misdeeds of which the Founding Fathers accused King George as justifying their decision to rebel absolutely and completely against his unjust rule.

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it...

To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

  • He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
    (Pardoning J-6 convicts and other MAGA trash, destroying government agencies through DOGE, disbanding the DOJ Civil Rights division, ending criminal prosecution and civil enforcement of laws for the public benefit.)
  • He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance...
    (Pressuring big city mayors and state governors to end migrant protections, DEI policies, and withdrawing funding for universities and nonprofits that support Palestinian rights, defunding AID, SNAP, Medicaid, and a host of other social services.)
  • He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people...
    (Cutting off funding for states, counties, and cities deemed political enemies of the Trump regime.)
  • He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable...
  • He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly...
    (He has gutted administrative agencies, firing long-time civil servants because they refused to kowtow to MAGA priorities.)
  • He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected...
    (Trump has defunded public health and welfare, infrastructure maintenance, land management, and socially beneficial nonprofit activity.)
  • He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States...
    (Obstructing immigration policies, especially harming industries reliant on migrant labor.)
  • He has obstructed the Administration of Justice...
    (Refusing to enforce laws that constrain his misconduct, threatening judges, and inciting violence.)
  • He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone...
    (See above.)
  • He has erected a multitude of New Offices...
    (Deploying ICE officers en masse to intimidate communities of color.)
  • He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies...
    (Remember Gavin Newsom suing over military deployment?)
  • He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
    (As per the DOJ under Pam Bondi—yes, seriously.)
  • He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution...
    (Aligning with authoritarian regimes like Bukele’s El Salvador.)
  • For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
  • For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment...
  • For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
    (Tariffs have returned—with a vengeance. Like the ones that triggered the Boston Tea Party.)
  • For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
    (Trump tariffs cost average Americans $1,700/year—basically a MAGA tax.)
  • For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
    (Mass deportations with no conviction, no trial.)
  • For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
    (Kilmar Abrego Garcia was deported to a foreign prison, wrongly accused.)
  • For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province...
    (Red states implementing harsh, theocratic laws to set precedent for national imposition.)
  • For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws...
    (Dismantling DEI, defunding police oversight, shredding due process.)
  • For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power...
    (The MAGA Congress does Trump’s will. Democrats offer no real opposition.)

IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.

****

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.


Anyone unable to see the correspondence between these words of the Declaration of Independence, the actions of the Trump Junta, and the legitimacy of a revolutionary response to those actions, should clean their glasses. Clearly, Sam Adams would be brewing more than beer, were he alive today.

Tyrants -- They Never Hear the One That Hits Them
by Charles Carreon
June 17, 2025

All Successful Rebellions Are Stealthy

History rarely records the first whispers of revolution. Before barricades go up, before flags are raised, before tyrants are toppled, rebellion begins in silence, in secret, and in shadow. Every successful rebellion starts not with a trumpet, but with a whisper. From Europe to Latin America to Africa, this is the common root of insurrection.

Consider Czechoslovakia's Velvet Revolution in 1989. There were no riots, no mass graves. The regime collapsed under the weight of its own lie when candlelight vigils, banned poetry, and students shaking their keys in the Prague air made the continued fiction of authoritarian legitimacy impossible to maintain. Vaclav Havel, playwright-turned-president, proved that imagination and moral persistence could dethrone a state.

Shift to Cuba, 1950s: a revolution conceived not in radio broadcasts or grand pronouncements but in prisons and mountain hideouts. Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, along with Vilma Espín and Haydée Santamaría, plotted each step through whispers, persuasion, and coded messages. Soldiers were persuaded to defect before they were defeated in combat. Sierra Maestra was the womb of a rebellion born in strategic stealth.

Cross the Atlantic to Mozambique, where the FRELIMO movement fanned the flames of independence against the Portuguese. Josina Machel, a young fighter and educator, inspired a generation with the quiet defiance of her service to refugees and wounded soldiers. Eduardo Mondlane built the foundations of victory not on open battlefields, but through years of slow, careful organizing and moral argument.

In all three, as in so many others, the pattern holds: stealth, not spectacle, births lasting revolution.

Deploying Media Weapons to Counter Oppressive Propaganda

Authoritarian regimes rely on control of the story. They produce histories that are half-erased, futures that are hollow, and presents too overwhelming to analyze. Yet wherever oppression reigns, the counter-narrative lives.

In the USSR, it was samizdat — the illegal underground self-publishing network that hand-copied banned books, essays, and news accounts. Writers like Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and Natalya Gorbanevskaya gave voice to a silenced reality. Every carbon copy was an act of treason against the state’s monopoly on truth.

In Chile under Pinochet, the guitar of Victor Jara and the words of Gladys Marín became more powerful than any rifle. Jara’s voice was mutilated by his torturers, but his songs remain.

In apartheid South Africa, artists like Miriam Makeba and playwrights like Athol Fugard crafted truths no newspaper dared print. In Vietnam, songs like "Bài Ca Giã Tường" served as signals and salves. In the West, The Clash’s "Clampdown" made British youth question empire in their own tongue.

The rebels wrote poems. They performed plays. They edited leaflets. They painted walls. They turned each act of communication into an insurgent weapon. And they did it not always with rage, but with irony, beauty, double meanings, and charm. Soft language, hard resistance

Developing Disgust for Empire

Before people resist, they must stop admiring their oppressors. Rebellion ripens when the emperor becomes ridiculous, the state becomes boring, the tyrant becomes tacky.

The fashion, art, and music of rebellion have always played this role. In the UK, punk rock made monarchy and imperial nostalgia seem absurd. Songs like The Clash’s Clampdown and Sex Pistols' God Save the Queen reframed obedience as a kind of death.

In the U.S. civil rights movement, the dignified defiance of Black marchers contrasted violently with the snarling faces of Southern sheriffs. In Argentina, Rodolfo Walsh’s writing made the junta’s lies look desperate and cruel.

In Tibet and among Uyghur artists, the Chinese state’s sterilized slogans are undercut by whispered prayers and coded poems. In Tiananmen Square, the Goddess of Democracy—papier-mâché and defiant—faced Mao's granite gaze and made the old tyrant look like a cartoon.

When young people reject the aesthetics of tyranny—the uniforms, the television programs, the slogans—the moral authority of the oppressor begins to rot.

Make them look stupid. Make them look small. Make them look scared. That’s where power begins to slip.

Building Support for Open Rebellion

Open rebellion doesn’t happen spontaneously. It is cultivated. It is nurtured. It is built over years of quiet planning, failed actions, whispered rumors, clandestine alliances, and moral preparation.

In the Sierra Maestra, Fidel and Che didn’t just shoot guns; they educated, negotiated, recruited, and persuaded. Many Batista soldiers surrendered not out of fear, but respect.

In South Africa, the ANC began underground organizing as early as the 1940s. Decades of exile, sabotage, and clandestine action set the stage for the explosion of resistance in the 1980s.

In Poland, Anna Walentynowicz’s firing triggered the Gdansk shipyard strike that birthed Solidarity—but it was only possible because thousands had been preparing underground for years. Catholic youth groups, independent press, labor circles: they all laid the invisible groundwork.

In Chile, the fall of Pinochet was preceded by years of slow moral attrition. When Judge Garzón issued the arrest warrant in 1998, the world was ready to receive it as justice, not vengeance.

Open rebellion is the fruit. Stealth is the root.

Keepin' What You’ve Earned

The tragedy of revolution is not only its bloodshed, but its loss through complacency. Many of the Eastern Bloc nations that broke free from communism in 1989 are now seeing democratic backsliding: Hungary under Orbán, Poland under PiS, and even the Czech Republic flirting with autocracy.

The United States, long seen as a beacon of liberal democracy, now finds itself on dying ground, as Sun Tzu would put it. Trumpism has built a junta not only of politicians, but of judges, sheriffs, media moguls, and militia commanders. They are preparing for a permanent coup by legal means.

But America still has weapons: institutional inertia, professional ethics, public employee resistance, and the stealth rebellion of ordinary decency. Nurses, postal workers, IRS agents, city council members, state judges, and school librarians are quietly refusing.

What we need now is mass stealth moral rebellion: workplace conversations, memes, songs, quiet refusals, ritual shaming, brave humor, and stealth organizing. If we make it socially shameful to support tyranny—if we activate decency in the human heart through stories, art, speech, and example—the junta will find the machine failing.

We do not need everyone to fight. We need some to resist, some to resign, and many to remember. The true battle is in the sympathies and loyalties of the uncommitted majority.

All revolutions begin in secret. So does every redemption.

Start now. Speak quietly. Fight well.

White Slavery – Strangely, a Term Not Used to Describe Epstein’s Trafficking Network

White slavery – now there’s a tasty phrase. When I was a child, it blew up in my media diet rarely, without warning, bearing a salacious tang. Eventually, I pieced it together with the aid of lurid imagery absorbed from Hollywood movie posters in the glass cases by the ticket booth at the downtown Fox theater. The wheels turned in my little boy brain as I saw the image of a captured starlet’s face, arched in distress, her pure white shoulder pulling away from a capturing hand, the hand of a dark man taking his captive by force. What horrors awaited her? White slavery, I realized then, is sexual slavery, the kidnapping of priceless Anglo-Saxon female flesh for purchase by dark devils. So it strikes me as interesting, when a real case of white slavery appears, no one uses this scary lingo. It’s not meant to be deployed against prep-school educated rogues like Epstein and Trump, but rather, against the dark races.

Because how you define the crime determines how you prosecute the culprits and care for the victims. Fueled by tales of White Slavery, in a moral panic, Congress adopted the Mann Act that facilitated the prosecution of black men for consorting with white women. When you call it white slavery, you rouse the passions of every red blooded American of either sex, you fire up zealots, you generate a demand for a moral cleanup and retributive punishment of those responsible for this collective outrage against our daughters. But they’ve been keeping this Epstein thing on the down low since the very beginning.

Epstein’s Lawyers Were On Both Sides of the Case Against Him

Briefly, I’ll explain how Epstein’s lawyers actually worked on both sides of the case. The prosecutor, Alex Acosta, worked at Kirkland & Ellis before he went to the DOJ, and negotiated the Non Prosecution Agreement (NPA) with Jay Lefkowitz, Epstein’s lawyer at Kirkland & Ellis. Emails from Lefkowitz to Acosta confirm that Acosta was in touch with a number of Epstein victims who were legally represented and suing Epstein in civil court, and promised Lefkowitz he would not tell them about the NPA they were negotiating. Meanwhile, Acosta was trying to get hired back at Kirkland & Ellis after he fixed the Epstein case! And fix it he did!

Victims Treated Like Mushrooms – Kept in the Dark and Fed Bullshit

Thus, by an unlawful agreement between Lefkowitz and Acosta, identified, represented Epstein victims were kept in the dark about the fact that their abuser was about to cop a 3 month sentence in local jail with work release, and as evidence subsequently developed, prostitutes brought into jail to appease the needs of his lower self. Their right to see their abuser prosecuted, and to have the court order Epstein to pay restitution for their injuries as a condition of probation during sentencing, rights secured under the Crime Victims Rights Act (CVRA) were studiously ignored and undermined by Acosta, Lefkowitz. Alan Derschowitz, who flew on the Lolita Express and admitted to receiving a massage (with his tighty whiteys firmly snugged up) from an Epstein masseuse, which is of course where it ended. Thus Alan secured his own legal immunity, because the NPA protected all conspirators of Epstein.

A Phyrric Victory Proves Acosta Broke the Law, But No Remedy is Accorded to the Victims

After the victims sued as Does 1 and 2, they won a phyrric victory in the District Court under their CVRA claim, obtaining a decree that holds that Acosta violated the CVRA, but awards no relief. The injunction to unwind the plea deal was denied, because by the time the court decided the case, Epstein was dead, and couldn’t be tried again. No damages are provided for under the CVRA, so they couldn’t get that. When the issue of conflict of interest between Acosta and the victims whose CVRA rights he studiously undermined was examined by the Department of Justice’s ethics arm, the Office of Professional Responsibility, the official report excused the conflict as merely “potential,” and therefore not actually bad, because Acosta convinced the OPR lawyers that the fact he was negotiating for a job with Kirkland & Ellis had nothing to do with why he kept Does 1 and 2 out of the loop regarding the NPA he was simultaneously negotiating. Somehow, the OPR concluded that Acosta’s knowing violations of the CVRA didn’t amount to any real harm to the victims, who lost the right to see their abuser in the criminal dock, and the right to obtain restitution from his wealth for the injuries he caused. Yeah, no harm at all. So in the courthouses of Florida, industrial volume sex abuse of minors is rewarded with a hand-slap sentence and prosecutorial immunity.

Acosta Deals a Case Where Epstein Could Have Gotten Thirty-Six Life Sentences Down to a Three Month Term With Home Release

Let’s compare what Epstein got under the NPA compared with what he was facing when Acosta signed that deal. At that time, the DOJ knew of 36 victims of child sex trafficking. Under the US Sentencing Guidelines, that’s one count per victim, and ten years consecutive, on each count. So instead of three months, try 360 years. And believe me, as a former Oregon prosecutor and federal defender, I can tell you prosecutors love sending bad guys to jail for long terms. And it is a failure in the eyes of any honest prosecutor to let a shitbag walk, or worse yet, punch his ticket, slap his wrist, collect your bribe, and give him an “Attaboy!” Here’s the sentencing arithmetic that would make any defendant puke blood and beg for a plea to 20 years.

Sentencing Arithmetic Laid Out for You

Assume a federal conviction for sex trafficking of 36 minor victims under 18 U.S.C. § 1591, with no cooperation or mitigating credits and sentences imposed consecutively (as judges often do when multiple victims are involved).
1. Statutory Sentencing Framework
• 18 U.S.C. § 1591 (Sex Trafficking of a Minor):
o Mandatory minimum: 10 years per count (for minors between 14 and 18).
o Maximum: Life imprisonment per count.
• With 36 victims, even at the statutory minimum of 10 years per victim (consecutive), Epstein would face 360 years (4,320 months).
o If the judge imposed sentences concurrently, it would still be a minimum of 10 years (120 months) but far more likely a de facto life sentence given the multiple counts and aggravating factors.
2. U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Calculation (Hypothetical)
Under the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines (Chapter 2G1.1 and 2G1.3 for child trafficking):
• Base offense level: 34 (sex trafficking of a minor).
• Enhancements:
o +4 for multiple victims (more than 5 victims, up to +6).
o +2 for undue influence/coercion of minors.
o +4 for commercial sex acts (financial gain).
o +5 if leadership/organizer role (Epstein orchestrated a trafficking network).
o +2 for obstruction of justice (threats, evidence tampering).
A conservative calculation: Offense Level ~51 (which caps at Level 43 under Guidelines), meaning life imprisonment under the Guidelines regardless of criminal history.
3. Likely Sentence in Years and Months
• Minimum realistic sentence (concurrent): 30–40 years (360–480 months).
• Likely sentence (partially consecutive): 50 years to life (600+ months).
• Maximum statutory exposure (consecutive minimums): 360 years (4,320 months).
Given Epstein was in his 60s, any Guidelines-compliant sentence would have been life in prison.
4. Type of Prison
With a sentence exceeding 30 years for serious sexual crimes:
• Facility: High-security federal penitentiary (USP), such as USP Tucson, USP Coleman I/II, or USP Beaumont, which have special units for sex offenders.
• Security Level: Maximum or high-security, due to the length of sentence and notoriety.
• He would not have been eligible for a minimum-security camp due to the nature of the crimes and length of sentence.
5. No Parole in Federal System
• Since parole was abolished in the federal system (post-1987), Epstein would have served at least 85% of any determinate sentence (due to "good time" credit), but with a life sentence there is no release.

Answer Summary

If Epstein had been convicted on 36 counts of sex trafficking of minors (10 years minimum per count):
• Sentence: Likely 50 years to life, possibly as high as 360 years (4,320 months).
• Prison: He would have been sent to a high-security federal penitentiary, effectively spending the rest of his life there.


Harsh Laws are Not Applied to Rich People Who Serve Rich People the Fruit of Delicious Crimes

So what do we see here? A really tough law that 18 U.S.C. § 1591. Mandatory minimum of 10 years. That’s what you get for holding a 100 gram bag of meth. With a potential life sentence on every count. That’s what I’d expect from a harsh, retributive Congress that knows its own sex crimes are paid off with settlements from their secret little slush fund. Hell, they probably paid for abortions with some of that money, back in the day. Put simply, hypocrisy fuels punitive criminal laws, and when the focus is on something like white slavery, the law is written in letters of blood and flame, right?

We haven’t traveled far in our history. Society still obsesses over the disposition of the sexual asset that white women represent as the default apex of femininity, with all the Victorian paternalism that implies. Yet, when it’s time to punish the most flagrant, prolific American sex trafficker of all time, although they could imprison him for life, they gift him a pass to keep right on doing it. I mean for a finance guy like Epstein, if 3 months is the whole price of running a minor sex trafficking and blackmail organization, that is a no brainer.

We’re Programmed to Save Disney Princesses from Dragons

Epstein’s dead now, and Trump doesn't want to talk about it, but people remain riled up about the Epstein victims. We’ve been presold the importance of this issue, unlike tedious issues like immigration, women’s health care, and such like. The theft of innocence, the unrequited pain of Epstein’s elite sex cult victims violates their Disney princess birthrights. White parents can easily project them as their own children, whose pain they comprehend vividly, unlike that of the starving victims of Gaza, cultural strangers whose suffering, though apparent, remains outside the area of our concern. But these Epstein victims, we understand. For them, we feel. There’s a dragon in that cave, and some brave knight needs to go haul his ass out and give him the old spear in the gut.

Truth Heals – Lies Suffocate the Victims

We don’t actually know what these girls looked like. To fancy them all as white girls is likely inaccurate – Epstein’s appetite for victims was vast, and he had many elite males to satisfy in the orgy of abuse; thus, there were apparently around a thousand girls abused. What we know is that they all were lied to, abused, victimized, and treated like dirt by people who were lower than dirt. They deserved justice, and they have been systematically deprived of it, and let me tell you, that’s no small loss. I have seen what a positive verdict, affirming the truth of a victim’s story with a conviction of their abuser, can do to heal that victim’s psyche. When a whole jury says “He’s guilty of raping her,” there can be a tremendous relief for the victim and those who have seen her suffering. Perhaps if Virginia Giuffre had heard those words, said to have ended her own life after besting Prince Andrew in the eyes of the world, she would still be alive. Because just as speaking the truth heals, keeping the lie alive suffocates the victims.

My Adventures with the Children of God in Europe

My own encounter with an organization dedicated to international female trafficking happened when I was sixteen, and but for the kindness of my parents, I might have become part of a nightmarish worldwide conspiracy that destroyed thousands of lives. Drawing their name from Christ’s beatitude, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God,” the organization called itself the Children of God, the Family, or the COG. I met them when I was sixteen, after graduating Brophy College Preparatory School in Phoenix, Arizona. Yes, I was graduating a couple of years ahead of schedule, but I was absolutely stuffed with nonsense, the consequence of accelerated education, military school, hippie rebellion, and rock and roll. My father’s remedy was to pack me off to Valencia, Spain, at that time a military dictatorship under General Francisco Franco, a good friend of the USA. That my cousin Emma lived in Madrid with her Air Force husband made it all a family event, as it were, and she cushioned my transition. Nevertheless, I was lonely in Valencia, so once my summer of figure drawing and water coloring at the art institute was done, I spent two weeks with cousin Emma in Madrid, another couple of weeks with an American couple and their two German shepherds in a stone house on a windswept hilltop near Barcelona, and then got myself to Amsterdam, where the truth was everywhere apparent. Blonde Lebanese hashish was excellent, but the red was even better. My economics were tight – somehow dad thought a hundred dollars a month and a Eurail pass would see me through -- but he had been a shoeshine boy in LA as a child, and could get by with very few amenities. Though I emulated his spare style, I thought a little illicit commerce, of which he would have totally disapproved, might help to stretch his small stipend to the extent required to accord with fiscal reality. So I acquired a hundred hits of very nice LSD from Jamie the dark Scot in Amsterdam, I pulled out my Eurail pass, and railed north to Copenhagen and its famous freetown, Christiania, an abandoned military base taken over by hip, young squatters. As Providence would have it, I never sold any of the acid, as I will further explain.

Denmark – Nice Country, But I Was Really Lonely

In Copenhagen, I drifted about with other young people I met at the place we all slept. A big room that was empty during the day, and wall to wall young people in sleeping bags at night. You just nestled down in the midst of all these other bodies. The anonymity in free Denmark was as bad as the isolation in fascist Spain. You don’t really know how lonely you’ve gotten, how lost you are, until you find yourself sitting in an old barracks in an abandoned military base in downtown Copenhagen, tripping on acid with a young woman who has brought you home with her, and home is filled with big, hulking Scandinavian dudes whose language sounds makes patterns in your head like someone carving wood, cutting these long skirls and skives, sort of chuckling at your stoned self like you’re some kind of freak, which you are. And you’re just glad to get out of there, and the girl looks at you like you got her into something she didn’t want to get into, and you end up at a bar in the middle of Christiania, listening to rock and roll by a band named Hurdy Gurdy fronted by a guy with a black Les Paul who windmills that bitch like Townsend, nailing these ringing chords, and there’s a dog fight in the middle of the room, and the girl you were tripping with is getting plastered on beer with her friends and you walk back to the big room with wall to wall people and crash in that sleeping bag, one among many. One night among any.

Christiania, Where I Became a Born Again Christian

Of course, there wasn’t really anyplace else for me to go in Copenhagen. I had no agenda such as an ordinary tourist might. Life was either happening or it wasn’t. And it wasn’t. Inevitably, it seemed, I found the Children of God, who had a communal house in the middle of Christiania, and called themselves the Family. Situated in time and place as we were, many of the Family members were young, beautiful blonde women. They swiftly won my heart for Jesus when I discovered that every prayer session was a songfest, and concluded with a “love feast,” during which massive doses of hugging and smiling were dispensed like the waters of Jordan, washing away all the loneliness and anomie of modern life. Since the Promised Land was apparently inhabited by Scandinavian women filled with warmth and affection, you could just sign me up. My hundred hits of beautiful LSD? Became useless to me. I gave away one tab to a sweet boy who had been running all around Christiania trying to find the American with the real acid, and dumped the rest in a hole in the ground. The freedom in that act, being surrounded by people to whom valuable drugs had no value, was liberating. I didn’t have a lot of attachments, so when I let go of that one, it was like I felt really free. And I was back with Americans! There were plenty of beautiful locals, but I think there was a preponderance of American men and women, with American accents, basically all recycled hippies, acid burnouts and music industry refugees. It was very hip, if a bit Southern fried, but I went to military school in Virginia, so I was comfortable with their accents and attitudes. Indeed, it was a balm to my isolated soul, and the Christian side of the doctrine impaired my style not at all. Not in that crowd – because it was all about love, love, love – and who can’t work with that?

Children of God History

What was the COG trip all about? What did we talk about? What did they teach me? How did they get into sex trafficking?

Okay, first they taught me I needed a Jesus name, and an elder dubbed me Steven. I was good with that, because I always liked that Grateful Dead song, “St. Steven,” from the AoxomoxoA album, with its goofy lyrics: “St. Steven with a rose / in and out of the garden he goes / country garden in the wind and the rain / wherever he goes, the people all complain.” Then this elder, a dude in his forties who was tough like an old tree, told me stories about what it had been like in the old days in the USA, when Moses David took a two hundred car caravan across the country, invading city after city with the love of Jesus, joyful song, and the true Gospel of the Apocalypse.

Paraphrased and quoted from ExFamily.org wrote:

Moses David was born David Brandt Berg in Oakland, California, to Virginia Brandt on February 18, 1919. The Brandts were German Jews who converted to Mennonites in 1745, migrated to Pennsylvania, and later to Ohio. Virginia’s father, John Lincoln Brandt, was a Methodist minister, leader of a movement among the Disciples of Christ, president of Virginia College, and a millionaire author and investor. Virginia enjoyed wealth and luxury traveling with her father, living in his shadow. She eloped with Hjalmer Emmanuel Berg, who picked up on the religious career concept, and became an ordained minister of the Disciples of Christ, but eventually he and Virginia were booted from the congregation because of Virginia's testimony that she had been miraculously healed from paralysis suffered in an auto accident, while her family disputed her claims, explaining that she had in fact been injured through being dropped on a curb by Hjalmer, and that although she required an operation, suffered no paralysis and bore her oldest child while supposedly an invalid.

David Berg was raised, along with his older sister, and Virginia, and older brother Hjalmer Jr., in an environment of flamboyant evangelism, constantly on the move. As a young boy, David had learned to speak to large audiences, and preached at his mother's venues.

During David Berg's childhood, by his own accounts, he was sexually molested by adults of both sexes, had incestuous sex with a female cousin at age seven, and was obsessed with sex and masturbation by the time he was a teen—all of which conflicted with his strict moral upbringing.

Like Mother Like Son – A Miraculous Healing Takes Place in His Own MindIn 1941, David Berg was drafted into the army, and sent to Fort Belvoir, Virginia, home of the US Army Engineers. Berg claimed to have had "double pneumonia" in 1942, and that while on his deathbed, he had promised God his lifetime service, "and was immediately and miraculously healed!" He claimed that Doctors had discharged him, giving him only one year to live, due to a heart condition.

In 1944, David Berg met Jane Miller at the Little Church of Sherman Oaks, California, where she was working as a Church Secretary and Youth Director. Without the blessings of Jane's tightly-knit Baptist family for their relationship, David and Jane eloped and married on July 22, 1944, in Glendale, California.

In 1948, following in the steps of his father, David Berg became an ordained minister of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, pastoring a small church in Valley Farms, Arizona.

The Bergs would eventually have four children together, all instrumental to the founding of the Children of God movement. Jane, who later came to be known as Mother Eve to members, and would eventually be discarded in favor of a young mistress named Karen Zerby, through a humiliating public ceremony and declaration.

Mo Inherited Megalomaniacal Delusions from Virginia

Virginia Brandt, who had endeavored to follow in the footsteps of her famous father, John L. Brandt, wished the same for her children. Her elder son Hjalmer Jr. had rejected his Christian upbringing and become agnostic; Virginia, her only daughter, had run away from home and eloped at age sixteen. Her youngest son David, who had chosen to live a life of service to God, remained her only hope.

She wrote that he had been "filled with the Holy Ghost since his mother's womb," like John the Baptist, whose life mission was to prepare the way for Jesus.

In 1965, Virginia Berg personally delivered to her son David, a Warning Prophecy she claimed to have received. In 1966 she delivered another prophecy declaring that David had received "the understanding of Daniel" "to know the number of the years unto the End of Desolations." These messages were pivotal in David's life, and the basis for his belief that his own life was inextricably linked to the last 7 years of world history. David shortly thereafter developed his belief that God had a special destiny and mission for him, and would eventually begin making personal claims as the "prophet for this generation."

The time had come for America to fall, and through his mother Virginia, the Lord inspired Mo to write the Warning Tract, that was printed on large banners medieval style and displayed on streetcorners by large COG men holding man-height wooden staffs. Mo had a gift for street theater that took people by storm. Freedom from the System, the end of Systemite slavery, was as close as the smiling face of a beautiful Christian girl. Just take her hand, give away all your shit, forget your fucking problems, and Praise God! That was pretty much the nature of the conversion experience they were offering, and we, the converted, were an incredible resource. I mean, we shone like angels, and people were drawn to us. I saw it on the streets of Oslo, where we went for a day of singing and witnessing on the street. I’ll always remember the old drunk with the blood on his lip, dancing to our music, smiling, swinging his jug, and at some point, a grown woman walked up, planted a solid kiss on my lips, and walked off.

Evangelical Christian Economics

Where did they get places to live, and food? The Provisioners took care of it. The Provisioners were all men with strong faith built up from several years of COG membership, and they approached grocery stores and food brokers to obtain surplus food. They were very good at it. In Sweden, we ate very well, getting loads of bread, potatoes and even whale meat from donors. We had our own vegetable garden and root cellar, and we took turns minding the produce, washing, paring and cleaning to keep them through the winter in the chill of the root cellar. The key to Provisioning was building relationships with “sheep,” i.e., Christians still working in the “System,” who could “spoil Egypt,” by converting Systemite surplus goods and real estate into fuel for the COG’s engines of virtue. Spoiling Egypt of course refers to how, after the Egyptians were all beat down by losing all their firstborn to Yahweh’s Angel of Death, the Israelites took the place apart like scavengers and hauled it off in the direction of the Red Sea.

Mo Letters – the COG Propaganda Machine

Now everything in the COG was driven by propaganda that came from “Mo Letters,” these little sermons that Mo wrote about 3,000 of during his tenure as God’s pedophile representative on earth, because in Mo’s Heaven, God loves his children with carnal devotion, and blesses them with orgiastic liberty. This doctrine was just being unveiled when I was in Sweden, hearing my first Mo Letters. The first one was entitled Diamonds of Dust, that compared born again Christians to dust motes floating in a ray of God’s Love. That’s why people came up and kissed us on the street, I suppose. To see that Ray of Light, all you had to do was simply ask Jesus to enter your heart. Saying these words, “Jesus, please come into my heart,” is of course a big step. I believe I was holding the hand of a girl named Phoebe Bird when I spoke those words. The happiness on her face as I spoke the words seemed to me like real love for me, a real happiness that I was now going to be happy, just like she was.

Flirty Fishing, aka, Witnessing for the Lord With Your Whole Body

How lovely that innocent time that I enjoyed in Sweden! But it was coming to an end, and the end began with the arrival of a new Mo Letter entitled “Flirty Fishing,” and a visit from one of Mo’s sons, Aaron, who came to visit the Skillingfors center where Gideon was head man. But Aaron was royalty, and deferred to, even though his speech could get a bit wild. He seemed a bit volatile, but what I remember about him was that he was very clear that Flirty Fishing was just what it sounded like – using female sex appeal to hook cult prospects. After all, we sang a song every day with the words, “We are the Children of God / We are fishers of men / And our caravan keeps rollin’ along until the End.” I remember the little leer that would creep over Aaron’s face when he alluded to sexual matters, and I remember looking over at Gideon to see his response, and seeing nothing I could detect, but certainly not approval.

We Learn of the “Kings” that Mo Says We Must Serve

But it was another series of Mo Letters, that in retrospect, gave me insight into the operation of the COG as a prostitution and pedophilia network for the ultra-rich. Mo liked to speculate about geopolitics, that he would tie in to prophecies drawn from Revelations and the Old Testament, and since Jesus was ultimately going to rule the New Jerusalem after the Apocalypse, this type of interest in government made sense to us. He told us, without naming any names, that Jesus was giving the COG some very powerful friends in very high places. These people he called “Kings,” comparing them to King Saul, King Solomon, and King David of the Israelites – men who did not always act in a virtuous way, but nevertheless were “God’s instruments,” and therefore worthy of respect, even service. We had not the least idea who these persons were, but Mo seemed to suggest they were not even Christians, but he was creating this elevated category to put them in. Seemed a little strange to me.

I Am Extracted from the COG by Loving Parents

But two months later, what was strange about the COG was no longer my concern. My parents flew over from Phoenix and picked me up at the COG center in Essen, Germany, and we spent a month touring Europe. When I got back to Phoenix, I checked into the local young people for Jesus scene and was swiftly rejected, so after a few months, I got into yoga and peyote, and mostly forgot about the COG.

Miriam Williams, the Sacred Prostitute Who Told the Truth About the COG

Fast forward twenty-eight years to the year 2000. I’m in Medford, Oregon, taking a break from working on the Sex.Com case by shopping for books at the Barnes & Noble up at the north end of town, and I find a book entitled “Heaven’s Harlots: My Fifteen Years as a Sacred Prostitute in the Children of God Cult.” Obviously, I buy it, and it is riveting. Tara and Ana were away in Khathmandu, studying Tibetan Buddhism, so I am all alone, and spend three days reading this book with my eyes bugging out. At the end, I realize two things. First, I was damn lucky to get out of the COG before it turned into a pedophile sex cult. Second, when I became a Tibetan Buddhist, I joined another cult. The corollary of these two discoveries was that I have a tendency to follow charismatic leaders with offbeat beliefs. Well, at least it didn’t bite me in the ass with the COG, because my wonderful parents protected me from that monstrosity.

So who was Miriam Williams, and who did she service in her fifteen years of sacred prostitution? Well, she was famous in the movement – her name was known to all because she was a beautiful singer with a lovely voice. She was known around the world, praised extravagantly by Mo and all the elders. And she sold her body in Monte Carlo in environments of great wealth, hauling in many thousands of dollars from which she received only expense money to go out and do more holy whoring. In Chapter 6, she introduces us to her favorite Johns, two Saudi Arabian millionaires named Salim and Adnan. Miriam’s fellow COG sex slave, Breeze, had a steady relationship with Adnan, and Salim slept with both girls. When Adnan requested a threesome with Miram and Breeze, the girls made it not happen, and Breeze was relieved. And who was Adnan? None other than Adnan Khasshogi, the Arab weapons dealer who financed the Iran Contra hostage-for-missiles exchange deal by putting up $4 Million to buy the TOW missiles the Ayatollah craved in exchange for the American hostages.

The Khashoggi/Epstein Connection and the COG in the Canary Islands

Who was Adnan Khashoggi’s financial manager? Jeffrey Epstein. All through the seventies and eighties, Epstein managed all of Khashoggi’s wealth. Like Epstein, Khashoggi had private planes, and during the seventies and eighties Khashoggi had a base of operations in the Canary Islands. Guess who else was there? Well, thanks to pedophilia not being unlawful in the Canary Islands back in the seventies, Mo had moved the COG base to the island of Tenerife in the Canaries.

A Review of the Evidence

So what have we here in the way of evidence? Mo set up the COG to engage in the white slave traffic, and sold sex with Breeze and Miriam to Arab men for exhorbitant rates. Turning young, lily white females into houris with stars in their eyes for the “Kings” they are introducing to God’s Love, sacrificing their bodies in a Christlike fashion. No wonder Salim and Adnan enjoyed their services. Sleeping with the Bride of Christ is probably more exciting even than the vaunted “girlfriend experience” offered by high end escorts. I mean, how can you erase the knowledge that “I’m paying for this?” You’re not going to get much closer than hearing a hired lover to say, “Consider me God’s gift to you for being who you are.” So Mo had a quality product to offer, and as everyone who knows the whole COG story will tell you, because contraception doesn’t figure into this story, that an endless flow of children was generated by Flirty Fishing. Were some of those children trafficked in international sex networks? Quite possibly.

Possible Use of Kompromat by Trump to Silence Opposition

Khashoggi and Epstein certainly spent a lot of time together, and they shared interests beyond making money from money. Khashoggi worked with the Mossad at high levels, dealing arms to and for Israel, keeping the balance of terror at the level acceptable to Israel by controlling weapons supplies. It is understood that Epstein ran a vast network to generate lethal, nuclear-level kompromat on elites who fell into his sexual honeypot, because his residences were all stuffed with surveillance cameras and microphones, and large caches of digital media were seized from his homes and offices during Trump’s first term in office. The Trump era brought total capitulation among Republicans who had run and spoken against him back in 2016. Lindsey Graham is the poster child for conversion from harsh critic to slavish bum-licker, but Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and a long list of others have also delivered their testicles to Trump for safekeeping. Why? Kompromat could be the answer in many cases. Indiscretions are so hard to avoid in DC, and that moment when one accepts an opportunity to engage in illicit sex, not thinking beyond the moment, is of course shortly followed by endless terror of the consequences. There doesn’t even have to be a video. The blackmailer just makes the call, “Senator, remember that night in the mile high club?” And the fix is in. Who could resist acquiring that kind of leverage? Not Epstein. Not Trump.

I Find Grounds for Further Investigation

So, what have we learned from our tour of high places and low deeds? I think the possible use of COG sex slaves by the Epstein sex trafficking network should be investigated. We have Khashoggi buying sex from Mo. We have Khashoggi and Mo both having HQ in the Canary Islands. Epstein was Khashoggi’s “financial manager,” and is believed to have run his blackmail operation for the Mossad, with whom Khashoggi also worked. Epstein also traveled about the world on a Saudi passport under a false name. Undoubtedly this was obtained with Khashoggi’s assistance so he could travel incognito. The intelligence gathering side of Epstein’s operation must have been of interest to Khashoggi, because Epstein had an uncanny ability to snag military contracts despite having no military background. Perhaps because kompromat works when nothing else does.

Epilogue – the Victims Are Everywhere

So that’s a wrap on what I know about COG, Khashoggi and Epstein, Mo and pedophiles in the Canaries. I haven’t gotten into just how lurid Mo’s pedophile cult was, but suffice it to say that among Mo’s least successful religious experiments was the raising of Davidito, the son of Karen Zerby and a gentleman from the Canary Islands, that Mo decreed would be a world savior, and accordingly raised him in orgiastic conditions from infancy. He had multiple nurses who worked with exposed breasts, and was introduced to orgasm through diligent masturbation in the cradle. He ended his own life with a pistol shot in a parking lot in Blythe, California, less than a day after stabbing one of his childhood nurses to death.
