Government is broken, always has been and always will be, but we can make some changes to curb the downward direction. Part of the problem is crooked career politicians in it for the wealth. This is my utopian list of things we should institute to weed out the greed and life-timers, which would dramatically change government. Inspired by an article on Senator Susan Collins of Maine. Live 10/24/2026.

25:33 – No illegal immigrants in elected positions | foreigners need to live in America for a designated amount of time before holding office
29:24 – Nobody living in a household of elected politician can hold any investments in stocks during term in office, due to indirect benefits31:35 – Reading "Maine Independent" newspaper article about husband of Maine Senator Susan Collins owning stocks in military & profiting in war, while she votes for war
39:13 – Politicians care about their wealth over people | broken political system | making change on state level

My thoughts on the death penalty in America and how it doesn't work on many levels, following two botched legal injections of Christa Pike, who would be the first woman in 200 years of the Tennessee to be executed.

I recently made a 2 hour video criticizing the Boom of Mormon, only to realize I'd never questioned the Protestant propaganda about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints I'd been fed all my life. I was always taught to question everything in society, and its a theme of this channel, but never question that Mormons are bad. Yet, I didn't know anything they believed. The realization was horrifying. This is my confession and apology. Pre-recorded, live 9/26/2026.

0:00 – Overview of my controversial Book of Mormon review video
1:45 – Meeting Missionaries (thank you Sisters Johnson of Utah & Kelly of Ireland!) | Christian mindgames
4:54 – Sick feeling due to posting my video | watching pro-Mormon youtube videos
7:26 – Advice to Christians on how to win arguments
9:00 – Realized I had filled my video with cliches I hadn't thought about, repeated Protestant Propaganda talking points | never questioned LDS church | felt like a fool
14:37 – Never studied Mormonism to back up my opinions or find truth
18:01 – Closing thoughts

I believe our overlords want us to be addicted to porn, drugged up, unhealthy, depressed. The goal being to destroy our minds and bodies, or turn us into sex crazed animals. As animals are easier to control than people who are reading books and spending time learning over watching porn. While porn addiction destroys our desire to love another and be close.
