I really appreciate all of the kind words, especially from the MAGA and Q people because while I have your attention...
... y'all damn crazy and I wish I could sit y'all down and explain how the world really works.
You got this all wrong and you're hurting people.

That's being nice.
You don't like me. You call people like me "communists" and "anarchists".
I am not a communist. I'm little anarchist at times because a little chaos can change the world.
Solidarity is being strong together even if you don't like each other. ✊

From starvation to natural disasters to sickness and disease the world can be harsh, cruel, and unforgiving and the only thing that can make it better is other people.
With so much that can cause pain built into the plot, why be an asshole or a bully or a fascist?

Don't start fights, but always finish one.
Stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves.
Lift up those who cannot lift up themselves.
Take a stand against the darkness.
Sounds great, right?
Welcome to antifa.
Your check is in the mail.

I'm not a communist and I'm actually pretty clever.
Denying reality creates cognitive dissonance.
This is also part of the problem.
Y'all have made a mistake. I struggle with humility but I can still admit when I've made a terrible mistake.
Try it.

You don't hear me crying about border security or to build some stupid wall.
Borders are lines on a map.
The US Government began a process of systematic destruction of Mexican agriculture via subsidies and tariffs which eliminated millions of jobs and thousands of farms.

Feed people. Give them jobs and homes.
Don't build walls. Tear walls down.
Build up people.

And tell me again about Pizzagate - which happened while my kid was living her personal hell - and all of that other "Save the Children" garbage.
Protesting CNN ain't gonna bring anyone's kid home.
That's just stupid crazy.
Donate to @MissingKids instead. Volunteer.
Help.

@MissingKids Once you have been that person in crisis and there is nothing and nobody to help you, the scales drop from your eyes and the world is never the same.
You will never look at someone in need and turn away ever again.
I carry singles in my pocket just if someone asks for change.

@MissingKids Out here in LA we have an insane power mad sheriff that is running for re-election who made cowboy hats official dress code because he is delusional.
Google LASD gangs.
LASD kills people for sport and intimidates those who speak out against them.
Facts. It is REAL.

@MissingKids I had to spend the night patrolling a nice neighborhood in LA because some chud asshats started calling the death of one of my friends.
Someone even showed up to take a try and almost lost their life trying to pull some mayhem.

@MissingKids Assaulting the very foundational institutions of government amid the claims of patriotic endeavor is the most asinine thing I have seen in my whole life and I've seen a lot of asinine carrying on.
Don't try and compare what we do to that. We ain't the same.

@MissingKids Most folks won't even give y'all the time of day and I respect that.
I don't give y'all the time of day most of the time, myself.
But if you can be wrong about someone like me, who did something like that, what else could you be wrong about?

@MissingKids Just as soon as you are certain you know the truth you instantly become wrong.
The world is a big place and rarely is anything as it seems.

@MissingKids The next time you hear someone yell "Fuck Antifa!" like they are the good guys, remember this thread.
You might wanna tell them to shut up.

@MissingKids I am certain the US gov't can print money as it wants because render unto Caesar. Having option is good, too. Having competition is good for everyone. We can fix the problems everyone in the rules as established. THAT's what makes the US exceptional.

Land back? We can do that. Most of it is federally protected land nobody is allowed to use for some dumb reason.
Give it back to the people we exploited and stole it from.
We clearly don't need it.

Reparations? How about and economic system that doesn't exploit and punish those with the least ability to participate?
How about Maslow's Pyramid of Needs instead of calling everything "socialism" because you wanna capitalize on the threat of death or homelessness?

I've been a landlord.
I was terrible at it because I know how hard it can be.
I was born with privilege, but to get my kid back I had to learn what it's like for those who are not.
Only then would I understand the rules.
A lot more people need that kind of education, I think.

It worked, too. I understood the motivations and the reasoning and the logic.
You can Les Mis all you like but until you have to make those choices you will never truly understand.
It wasn't my idea to do that, either.
I'm Buddhist. It worked for him. Worked for me.

The trick is you can't go half way.
You will find out who you really are and how the world really sees you when you aren't surrounded by your systems of reinforcement.
Getting down into the grind is easy.
Getting back out without losing your soul is tricky part.

Take the risk.
Do the hard things, because the hard things are usually the things that need doing.
My dad always told me, "If you can see a problem you know how to fix it, but first make sure you understand it or you will make it worse."
Dad was a sage like that.

I didn't get my daughter back with lawyers, guns, and money or testosterone.
I got her back with humility and kindness and understanding and discipline and force of will.
There are always mean, stupid, unreasonable people.
Make sure you're not one of them.

I studied aikido under Sensei McGinnis of Cincinnati and Sensei Wong of Santa Barbara.
They taught me to respect the challenges I face along my path.
Sensei Wong played a direct role in my daughter's recovery.
She is family.

I am a Master Mason in good standing and I was raised and am a member of Santa Barbara lodge #192.
I am also a member of the AASR and Royal Arch.
I never lost my soul because I always kept the promises I made to myself.

Look how mad this makes people. 
Someone starts speaking their truth and the first thing someone tries to do is shut them up.
Every. Damn. Time.

Yeah I plugged the cryptocurrency I created because I am not an ally of black liberation I am an employee.
DeFi *is* the dual system and we are building it in plain sight.
There's a reason we don't have VCs.
No VC ever funded liberation.
They ain't interested in helping ppl.

In that context I will tell you definitively it ain't George Soros funding a damn thing.
You don't have to like me.
You don't have to read and consider what I relate here.
However I exist and these things are true and if they contradict your worldview I might suggest some self reflection is in order.

I am not a millionaire.
I give too much away so yes, please support our work. It really does change the world one life at a time.
I live month to month like nearly everyone else.
All of my peers are rich as Croesus and they don't say these kinds of things
We are not the same.

Someone once asked me how I became this person.
My dad was 101st Airborne Army Rangers, 5th Psychological the "Forgotten Fifth". He volunteered because his draft number came up. He was a qualified infantry marksman with jump wings.
Somewhere in that time, he learned something.

Somewhere in that time, he learned something.
His job was to drop behind enemy lines and conduct psychological warfare.
When he came back he met my mom and their first date was the premiere of the movie "Shaft".
They were the only white people. They married less than a year later.

My dad never told me the experiences in Vietnam where he learned to respect the struggle of people that don't look like you in this country of plenty.
But he goddamn learned and lived it every single day.
He didn't teach me. He demonstrated it and made sure I was watching.

This is real life.
There is no fooling anyone but yourself.
There is no respawn.
There is no resetting the map.
The only competition that exists is who can be the better person.
... and there are bonus points for style.

I'm not an evangelist.
I'm not trying to convince or convert anyone.
This is my reality.
Yours may differ.
I do not fit the narrative, and that's why it mattered to say this.
The predominant narrative is pervasive... and it is wrong.
