perfect foundation to support them if your life ends prematurely, only to have insurance agents, government officials, and family members work to steal it?<span> </span>At The Intuition Bureau, I offer advice for people who have done everything right yet find themselves being sabotaged by those closest to them as well as institutions designed to protect them.</p><p>Secret societies have been a prevalent aspect of American society since our founding.<span> </span>Their members have held prominent positions in government, the private business sector, education, and the non-profit world.<span> </span>Over time, they have created a system around the life insurance industry where individuals and families have been robbed of their futures only to benefit the greed of individuals within the secret societies.</p><p>Anyone with a life insurance policy can be targeted.<span> </span>But there are situations where life insurance policies are placed on individuals who have been targeted for being whistleblowers or truth speakers.<span> </span>Secret societies use illegally placed life insurance policies to pay off government officials and the family members of their targets for death.<span> </span>It is the perfect way to hide the payment for assassination plots.</p><p>Once an individual is targeted for death, every aspect of their life is broken down, forcing them into isolation.<span> </span>Their children are targeted in their schools and within their friend groups.<span> </span>Their family members are approached by corrupt government officials initiating bogus investigations meant to portray the victim as a criminal.<span> </span>Their workplace is targeted, and any potential future employment is sabotaged.<span> </span>This is a system designed to force the targeted individual into unsafe situations.<span> </span>They are forced to befriend people sent into their lives to instigate addiction or mental illness.</p><p>Purposeful steps must be taken if one finds oneself a victim of this secret society scheme.<span> </span>A multi-layered approach, when put in place, can protect your children and life.<span> </span>A faith-centered life is the beginning.<span> </span>Focusing on reconstructing one&#8217;s life, with God placed first, followed by surrounding oneself with like-minded individuals, is imperative.<span> </span>Raising one&#8217;s vibration and avoiding vices are necessities.</p><p>For more on this and other strategies, please visit <a href="https://www.theintuitionbureau.com/">The Intuition Bureau</a> for a

when I use the term <strong>gold digger</strong>, I am not simply talking about women looking for wealthy men. I am talking about a type of person. A mentality. A way of moving through the world.</p><p>Men can be gold diggers. Women can be gold diggers. Friends can be gold diggers. Family members can be gold diggers. Lovers, business associates, spiritual advisers, politicians, acquaintances, and people who suddenly become interested in you once your life begins moving upward can all be gold diggers.</p><p>A gold digger is someone whose affection for you is connected to <strong>what they believe they can extract from you</strong>.</p><p>Money.</p><p>Status.</p><p>Housing.</p><p>Connections.</p><p>Sex.</p><p>Influence.</p><p>Security.</p><p>Access.</p><p>Opportunity.</p><p>A lifestyle.</p><p>Sometimes they don&#8217;t even want what you currently have. They are digging for the <strong>gold they believe is buried inside your future</strong>.</p><p>And that can make them particularly difficult to spot.</p><p>We have built a culture where materialism is so thoroughly mixed with relationships that sometimes it becomes almost impossible to tell who truly loves you and who simply loves what being connected to you might provide.</p><p>That is dangerous.</p><p>Because love and extraction can look remarkably similar in the beginning.</p><p>Both can smile at you.</p><p>Both can compliment you.</p><p>Both can hold your hand.</p><p>Both can tell you how wonderful you are.</p><p>Both can tell you they believe in your future.</p><p>Both can say, <strong>&#8220;I love you.&#8221;</strong></p><p>But only one remains love when there is nothing to extract.</p><p>The Bible warned us about this thousands of years ago.</p><p>Solomon writes in Proverbs:</p><blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:<br>But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.<br>Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.&#8221;</strong><br><strong>Proverbs 5:3&#8211;5 (KJV)</strong></p></blockquote><p>Forget the gender for a moment and examine the principle.</p><p><strong>The lips are sweet.</strong></p><p><strong>The words are smooth.</strong></p><p><strong>The destination is destruction.</strong></p><p>That is the warning.</p><p>Something can sound like love while leading you directly toward suffering.</p><p>Solomon returns to the same warning in Proverbs 7. He describes someone being seduced through flattering speech:</p><blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.&#8221;</strong><br><strong>Proverbs 7:21 (KJV)</strong></p></blockquote><p>And then comes the part people should pay attention to:</p><blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter...&#8221;</strong><br><strong>Proverbs 7:22 (KJV)</strong></p></blockquote><p>That is powerful imagery.</p><p>An ox walking toward the slaughter does not understand where the road ends.</p><p>Everything may appear fine.</p><p>One more step.</p><p>Then another.</p><p>Then another.</p><p>That is how destructive relationships often work.</p><p>Rarely does someone walk into your life announcing:</p><p><strong>&#8220;I am here to use you.&#8221;</strong></p><p>They arrive bearing sweetness.</p><p>They arrive bearing attraction.</p><p>They arrive bearing promises.</p><p>They arrive bearing sympathy.</p><p>They arrive telling you precisely what you have been waiting to hear.</p><p>And sometimes the trap is not what they say.</p><p>The trap is how badly <strong>you want to believe it</strong>.</p><p>That is why discernment matters.</p><h2>Gold Diggers Can Take You to the Grave</h2><p>People sometimes laugh about gold diggers as though they are merely an annoyance.</p><p>I don&#8217;t.</p><p>The wrong relationship can destroy a person&#8217;s life.</p><p>People have lost businesses because of relationships.</p><p>They have lost homes.</p><p>They have destroyed relationships with their children.</p><p>They have emptied retirement accounts.</p><p>They have ruined their credit.</p><p>They have abandoned friends.</p><p>They have betrayed family members.</p><p>They have compromised careers.</p><p>They have committed crimes.</p><p>They have destroyed their health.</p><p>Some have lost their freedom.</p><p>Some have lost their lives.</p><p>All because they allowed another person&#8217;s <strong>sweet words to override what their own intuition was telling them</strong>.</p><p>Gold diggers create trouble because extraction can never become genuine love.</p><p>Once a relationship is fundamentally based upon what one person can obtain from another, there will always be another demand.</p><p>Another emergency.</p><p>Another purchase.</p><p>Another sacrifice.</p><p>Another favor.</p><p>Another test of your love.</p><p>Another reason you need to prove yourself.</p><p>Another boundary they need you to surrender.</p><p>The appetite grows.</p><p>Ecclesiastes says:</p><blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase...&#8221;</strong><br><strong>Ecclesiastes 5:10 (KJV)</strong></p></blockquote><p>That is the problem with greed.</p><p><strong>It does not know when it has eaten enough.</strong></p><p>You cannot fill a bottomless stomach.</p><h2>Look Beyond the Words</h2><p>One of the most powerful descriptions of false affection in Scripture comes from Ezekiel:</p><blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;With their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.&#8221;</strong><br><strong>Ezekiel 33:31 (KJV)</strong></p></blockquote><p>Read that again.</p><p>Their mouth shows love.</p><p>Their heart follows covetousness.</p><p>There it is.</p><p>That is the entire problem.</p><p><strong>What is coming from the mouth and what is taking place inside the heart are two different things.</strong></p><p>This is why I constantly talk about discernment.</p><p>Words alone are not enough.</p><p>Beauty is not enough.</p><p>Chemistry is not enough.</p><p>Sex is not enough.</p><p>Charm is not enough.</p><p>Promises are not enough.</p><p>Butterflies are certainly not enough.</p><p>You have to watch people.</p><p>Watch what happens when you tell them <strong>no</strong>.</p><p>Watch what happens when you establish a boundary.</p><p>Watch how interested they are in your thoughts compared with your resources.</p><p>Watch whether every conversation eventually circles back to what they need.</p><p>Watch how they treat people who cannot do anything for them.</p><p>Watch whether their affection grows when your circumstances improve and disappears when your circumstances become difficult.</p><p>Watch whether they are interested in helping you build or merely interested in enjoying what you have built.</p><p>Most importantly, watch the fruit.</p><p>A person can manufacture words.</p><p>It is much harder to manufacture fruit over time.</p><h2>Be Patient</h2><p>One of the best protections against gold diggers is something our society has almost completely abandoned:</p><p><strong>Patience.</strong></p><p>Slow down.</p><p>You do not have to decide immediately that someone is your soulmate.</p><p>You do not have to merge your finances.</p><p>You do not have to move them into your home.</p><p>You do not have to introduce them to every important person you know.</p><p>You do not have to reveal every detail about your business.</p><p>You do not have to disclose everything you possess.</p><p>You do not have to rescue them.</p><p>You do not have to prove your love by opening your wallet.</p><p>Let time do some investigative work for you.</p><p>Time is an incredible detective.</p><p>People can maintain an act for a weekend.</p><p>Some can maintain it for several months.</p><p>It becomes much harder to maintain a false identity indefinitely.</p><p>Eventually, motivations begin leaking through the cracks.</p><p>Be patient enough to see them.</p><h2>Seek Something Higher</h2><p>The answer is not paranoia.</p><p>The answer is not becoming cold.</p><p>The answer is certainly not hating people.</p><p>And the answer is not assuming everyone who comes into your life wants something from you.</p><p>That would allow fear to destroy exactly what you were trying to protect.</p><p>The answer is <strong>Universal Love combined with discernment</strong>.</p><p>Love people because they are human beings created by God.</p><p>But understand that loving someone does not require giving them unrestricted access to your life.</p><p>You can love someone and tell them no.</p><p>You can love someone and maintain separate finances.</p><p>You can love someone and refuse to rescue them.</p><p>You can love someone and refuse manipulation.</p><p>You can love someone and walk away.</p><p>You can love someone from across the street.</p><p>You can even love someone from across the planet.</p><p>Universal Love does not require universal access.</p><p>That distinction is important.</p><p>The higher form of love is not based on beauty, money, status, sex, power, or what another human being can provide.</p><p>It says:</p><p><strong>I recognize the divine value inside you even when you have nothing to give me.</strong></p><p>That is the love we should be searching for.</p><p>Not someone hypnotized by our gold.</p><p>Someone capable of seeing <strong>us</strong>.</p><p>Because eventually the money changes.</p><p>Bodies change.</p><p>Careers change.</p><p>Status changes.</p><p>Health changes.</p><p>Influence changes.</p><p>Everything material eventually changes.</p><p>And when the material reasons for loving someone disappear, only the real thing remains.</p><p>So be patient.</p><p>Keep your eyes open.</p><p>Listen carefully.</p><p>Watch the fruit.</p><p>Trust your intuition.</p><p>Pray for discernment.</p><p>And never allow sweet words to drag you toward a destination your spirit has already warned you about.</p><p>There are gold diggers as far as the eyes can see.</p><p>But there are also people capable of genuine love.</p><p>The challenge is learning the difference.</p><p>And sometimes the only way to discover whether someone loves <strong>you</strong> or loves your gold is to stop showing them where the gold is buried.</p><p><strong>The Intuition Bureau</strong><br><em>Discern.

never again be trusted with your secrets.</p><p>There are people you should pray for who should never again be permitted inside your inner circle.</p><p>They may be your friends. They may be your coworkers. They may be people you have known your entire life. They may share your blood. They may sleep in your bed.</p><p>It doesn&#8217;t matter.</p><p>Some people are dangerous to your life, happiness, purpose, and well-being precisely because they have surrendered the responsibility of thinking for themselves.</p><p>Today, we have a crude but useful term for these people.</p><p><strong>NPCs.</strong></p><p>The term comes from video games. An NPC is a &#8220;non-player character.&#8221; It is a character controlled by the programming of the game rather than by the person holding the controller.</p><p>I don&#8217;t believe there are literal NPCs walking among us. Every human being is a human being. Every person has a soul, dignity, choices, and accountability before God.</p><p>But people can absolutely <strong>behave like NPCs.</strong></p><p>They can surrender their judgment.</p><p>They can surrender their discernment.</p><p>They can surrender their moral compass.</p><p>They can allow the world around them to determine what they believe, who they hate, what they fear, what they repeat, and ultimately what they do.</p><p>And when someone refuses to think for themselves, somebody else eventually does the thinking for them.</p><p>That is where they become dangerous.</p><h2>The Bible Already Described the NPC</h2><p>Thousands of years before there were video games, algorithms, social media feeds, cable news networks, political parties, influencers, or viral talking points, the Bible warned us about people whose minds had become darkened by the world around them.</p><p>Ephesians 4:17-18 says:</p><blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,<br>Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart.&#8221;</strong></p></blockquote><p>Read those words carefully.</p><p><strong>Vanity of their mind.</strong></p><p><strong>Understanding darkened.</strong></p><p><strong>Ignorance that is in them.</strong></p><p><strong>Blindness of their heart.</strong></p><p>There is your biblical description of NPC behavior.</p><p>It isn&#8217;t necessarily stupidity.</p><p>Some NPCs are highly educated.</p><p>It isn&#8217;t necessarily poverty.</p><p>Some NPCs are extraordinarily wealthy.</p><p>It isn&#8217;t political affiliation.</p><p>NPCs exist on the left, the right, and everywhere in between.</p><p>It isn&#8217;t religion.</p><p>There are NPCs sitting in church every Sunday.</p><p>It is a condition in which a person has surrendered the responsibility of examining the world with discernment.</p><p>Their opinions arrive preassembled.</p><p>Their enemies are assigned to them.</p><p>Their outrage is scheduled.</p><p>Their loyalties are inherited.</p><p>Their beliefs change when the crowd changes.</p><p>Their morality bends according to who is standing in front of them.</p><p>They don&#8217;t investigate.</p><p>They react.</p><p>They don&#8217;t discern.</p><p>They repeat.</p><p>They don&#8217;t ask whether something is true.</p><p>They ask whether everyone else believes it.</p><p>That person can become extraordinarily dangerous.</p><h2>Why NPCs Are Dangerous</h2><p>An NPC doesn&#8217;t have to hate you to destroy you.</p><p>That is what makes them so dangerous.</p><p>A malicious person can sometimes be easier to identify. You know where you stand with an enemy.</p><p>But someone without discernment can genuinely love you and still participate in your destruction.</p><p>All someone has to do is convince them that destroying you is the right thing to do.</p><p>Convince them that you are crazy.</p><p>Convince them that you are dangerous.</p><p>Convince them that everyone else has abandoned you.</p><p>Convince them that helping you might cost them something.</p><p>Convince them that the crowd will punish them for standing beside you.</p><p>Suddenly the person who told you yesterday that they loved you is standing twenty feet away while the mob approaches.</p><p>Not necessarily because they became evil overnight.</p><p>Because they never developed the internal foundation necessary to stand alone.</p><p>That is why discernment matters.</p><p>There will eventually come a moment in everyone&#8217;s life when doing the right thing means standing somewhere unpopular.</p><p>If someone cannot stand alone, you should never build your survival around their loyalty.</p><h2>How to Spot an NPC in Your Life</h2><p>Watch how people behave when pressure enters the room.</p><p>Pressure reveals programming.</p><p>An NPC will frequently change positions according to the people around them.</p><p>They will tell one group one thing and another group something completely different.</p><p>They will repeat accusations they have never independently investigated.</p><p>They will accept authority without questioning whether the authority is behaving honorably.</p><p>They will believe rumors because enough people repeated them.</p><p>They will judge people they have never met.</p><p>They will become frightened when confronted with information that conflicts with the story they have already accepted.</p><p>They will confuse popularity with truth.</p><p>They will confuse credentials with wisdom.</p><p>They will confuse power with righteousness.</p><p>They will confuse consensus with reality.</p><p>Most importantly, watch what happens when truth becomes <strong>expensive</strong>.</p><p>Anybody can tell the truth when truth costs nothing.</p><p>Anybody can be loyal when loyalty is convenient.</p><p>Anybody can defend justice when justice is fashionable.</p><p>Watch what happens when telling the truth might cost someone a friendship, promotion, invitation, relationship, reputation, or position.</p><p>That is when you discover who is actually thinking for themselves.</p><h2>Stop Trying to Wake Everyone Up</h2><p>One of the greatest mistakes discerning people make is believing that because they can see something, they can make everyone else see it.</p><p>You cannot.</p><p>You can present evidence.</p><p>You can speak truth.</p><p>You can explain yourself.</p><p>You can love someone.</p><p>You can pray for them.</p><p>You cannot force another person to develop discernment.</p><p>And eventually, constantly attempting to awaken someone who prefers sleep begins draining the person who is awake.</p><p>There comes a point where wisdom requires distance.</p><p>Not hatred.</p><p>Distance.</p><p>Not revenge.</p><p>Boundaries.</p><p>Not abandonment.</p><p>Repositioning.</p><p>You don&#8217;t have to throw an NPC into the wilderness.</p><p>You simply have to remove them from the control room of your life.</p><h2>Remove Them From Your Inner Circle</h2><p>Your inner circle is sacred territory.</p><p>Everyone should not have access to it.</p><p>Your dreams should not be discussed with everyone.</p><p>Your vulnerabilities should not be revealed to everyone.</p><p>Your plans should not be given to everyone.</p><p>Your spiritual experiences should not be shared with everyone.</p><p>Your business should not be placed into everyone&#8217;s hands.</p><p>The inner circle requires people capable of discernment.</p><p>People capable of standing alone.</p><p>People capable of hearing something about you and coming directly to you.</p><p>People capable of saying, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know enough to judge.&#8221;</p><p>People capable of examining evidence.</p><p>People capable of resisting a crowd.</p><p>People capable of changing their minds when truth demands it.</p><p>An NPC should never occupy that position.</p><p>Love them.</p><p>Feed them if they are hungry.</p><p>Help them if they genuinely need help.</p><p>Pray for them.</p><p>Forgive them.</p><p>Wish them well.</p><p>But do not hand them the keys to your house.</p><p>Figuratively or literally.</p><h2>Family Is Not an Exemption</h2><p>This becomes especially difficult when the NPC is family.</p><p>We have been taught that family receives unlimited access simply because blood connects us.</p><p>I don&#8217;t believe that.</p><p>Blood establishes a relationship.</p><p>It does not automatically establish trust.</p><p>Trust must be built through conduct.</p><p>The same applies to lovers, friends, coworkers, business associates, pastors, mentors, political allies, and anyone else occupying space in your life.</p><p>Your mother can be wrong.</p><p>Your father can be wrong.</p><p>Your brother can be wrong.</p><p>Your best friend can be wrong.</p><p>Your lover can be wrong.</p><p>Your pastor can be wrong.</p><p>You can be wrong.</p><p>That is precisely why discernment exists.</p><p>Truth does not change according to who is speaking.</p><h2>Love Them Without Giving Them Access</h2><p>This is where Love requires maturity.</p><p>Love does not require foolishness.</p><p>Love does not require handing someone the weapon they used to wound you yesterday.</p><p>Love does not require exposing your vulnerable places to someone who has demonstrated that outside pressure can turn them against you.</p><p>You can love someone and understand that they are unsafe.</p><p>You can forgive someone and understand that they are unreliable.</p><p>You can pray for someone and refuse to tell them your plans.</p><p>You can wish someone every blessing God has available for them while simultaneously changing the locks on the doors through which they previously entered your life.</p><p>That is not hate.</p><p>That is wisdom.</p><p>The goal isn&#8217;t to punish NPCs.</p><p>The goal is to stop allowing their lack of discernment to determine the trajectory of your life.</p><h2>And Make Sure the NPC Isn&#8217;t You</h2><p>There is one final examination that must take place.</p><p>Before identifying every NPC around you, examine yourself.</p><p>What beliefs have you never questioned?</p><p>What opinions did someone else hand you?</p><p>Who have you condemned without hearing their side?</p><p>What authority have you blindly trusted?</p><p>What group are you afraid to disagree with?</p><p>What truth would you refuse to acknowledge if accepting it threatened your identity?</p><p>Where are you walking &#8220;in the vanity&#8221; of your own mind?</p><p>That examination may be uncomfortable.</p><p>Do it anyway.</p><p>The objective isn&#8217;t merely to recognize programming in other people.</p><p>The objective is freedom from programming within ourselves.</p><p>Ephesians tells us not to walk with our understanding darkened.</p><p>So turn on the light.</p><p>Investigate.</p><p>Question.</p><p>Pray.</p><p>Listen.</p><p>Observe.</p><p>Test what you are told.</p><p>Have the courage to admit when you are wrong.</p><p>Have the courage to stand alone when you are right.</p><p>And surround yourself with people willing to do the same.</p><p>You don&#8217;t have to hate the NPCs in your life.</p><p>You don&#8217;t have to attack them.</p><p>You don&#8217;t have to humiliate them.</p><p>But you absolutely must understand the danger of giving someone who does not think independently a position of trust in your life.</p><p>Love everyone.</p><p><strong>Trust selectively.</strong></p><p>Forgive freely.</p><p><strong>Grant access carefully.</strong></p><p>And never allow someone else&#8217;s blindness to become the steering wheel for your destiny.</p><p><strong>The Intuition Bureau</strong></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Lens Is

Too many theories. Too many podcasts. Too many experts. Too many people screaming at each other about capitalism, socialism, communism, liberalism, conservatism, nationalism, globalism, progressivism and whatever new ism someone decides to manufacture tomorrow.</p><p>The Bible warned us about this thousands of years ago.</p><p><strong>Proverbs 10:19 says:</strong></p><blockquote><p>&#8220;In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.&#8221;</p></blockquote><p>In modern language, where there are endless words, wrongdoing is never far away.</p><p>Maybe that is part of the problem with American politics.</p><p>We have buried something very simple underneath a mountain of words.</p><p>I want to offer a much simpler lens through which to view what is happening in America.</p><p>Forget left versus right for a moment.</p><p>Forget Democrat versus Republican.</p><p>Forget socialist versus capitalist.</p><p>Forget conservative versus progressive.</p><p>There are really two forces struggling against one another.</p><p><strong>There are those who ultimately want to preserve the system.</strong></p><p>And there are those who want to radically change it.</p><p>That distinction has almost nothing to do with the labels we have been taught to use.</p><p>In fact, the labels may be one of the greatest distractions preventing us from seeing what is actually happening.</p><p>Right now, America is once again being encouraged to obsess over those labels. &#8220;Communist&#8221; has returned as a political weapon heading into the 2026 midterms, while Democrats themselves are fighting over whether their future belongs to moderates or progressives. Yet even Pew Research Center&#8217;s 2026 examination of American political attitudes describes a country whose values cannot be neatly contained inside the traditional red and blue boxes.</p><p>Maybe the boxes are the problem.</p><p>Capitalism is a system.</p><p>Socialism is a system.</p><p>Communism is a system.</p><p>Democracy is a system.</p><p>All of them ultimately answer questions about who controls resources, how power is distributed, how decisions are made and how society organizes itself.</p><p>But none of those words answers the most important question:</p><p><strong>What lives inside the hearts of the people controlling the system?</strong></p><p>You can put a greedy man inside capitalism.</p><p>You can put a greedy man inside socialism.</p><p>You can put a greedy man inside communism.</p><p>You can put a greedy man inside a democracy.</p><p>Change the sign on the building all you want. If greed, ego, deception and the lust for power remain inside, you have changed the architecture without changing the spirit occupying it.</p><p>That is not radical change.</p><p>It is remodeling.</p><p>True radical change goes to the root.</p><p>And the root is Love.</p><h2>Love Is Not Weakness</h2><p>I have written extensively about Love because I believe we have fundamentally misunderstood what Love is.</p><p>Love is not weakness.</p><p>Love is not pretending everything is fine.</p><p>Love is not allowing someone to abuse you because you want to prove how spiritual you are.</p><p>Love does not require abandoning truth to keep the peace.</p><p><strong>Forgiveness is not permission.</strong></p><p>And a rebuke is not revenge.</p><p>True Love requires truth.</p><p>Paul tells us exactly this in <strong>1 Corinthians 13:6</strong> when he says Love:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth.&#8221;</p></blockquote><p>Think about what that means when applied to politics.</p><p>Love cannot rejoice in corruption because the corrupt politician belongs to your political party.</p><p>Love cannot ignore injustice because exposing it might help the other side.</p><p>Love cannot defend dishonesty because the liar happens to support your preferred candidate.</p><p>Love cannot demand transparency from Republicans while accepting secrecy from Democrats.</p><p>Love cannot demand accountability from Democrats while making excuses for Republicans.</p><p>That isn&#8217;t Love.</p><p>That is tribalism.</p><p>And tribalism is rooted in ego.</p><p><strong>My team. My candidate. My movement. My ideology. My victory.</strong></p><p>Love asks an entirely different set of questions.</p><p><strong>What is true?</strong></p><p><strong>What is just?</strong></p><p><strong>Who has been harmed?</strong></p><p><strong>Who is responsible?</strong></p><p><strong>What is being hidden?</strong></p><p><strong>Who needs protection?</strong></p><p><strong>Who needs to be held accountable?</strong></p><p>Those questions work under every political system ever created.</p><p>That is why Love is more radical than any ideology.</p><h2>Justice Is Love Applied to Power</h2><p>People sometimes speak of Love as though it requires us to float above the ugliness of politics.</p><p>I believe the opposite.</p><p>If you truly Love people, injustice should bother you.</p><p>Corruption should bother you.</p><p>Lies should bother you.</p><p>Abuse of power should bother you.</p><p>The exploitation of poor people should bother you.</p><p>The exploitation of wealthy people should bother you.</p><p>Government abusing an individual should bother you.</p><p>Corporations abusing individuals should bother you.</p><p>Powerful institutions hiding information from the public should bother you.</p><p>Someone being denied justice because of their race should bother you.</p><p>Someone being denied justice because of their political beliefs should bother you.</p><p>Someone you despise being denied due process should bother you.</p><p>Because justice that only applies to people we like isn&#8217;t justice.</p><p>It is favoritism wearing judicial robes.</p><p>Love demands something much harder.</p><p><strong>One standard.</strong></p><p>That is radical.</p><p>Imagine an America where conservatives demanded accountability from conservative politicians with the same intensity they demanded it from liberals.</p><p>Imagine liberals demanding transparency from liberal institutions with the same intensity they demand it from conservative institutions.</p><p>Imagine Americans defending the constitutional rights of people they absolutely despise.</p><p>Imagine journalists investigating their ideological allies as aggressively as their ideological enemies.</p><p>Imagine voters saying:</p><p>I don&#8217;t care if exposing the truth hurts my party.</p><p>I don&#8217;t care if justice costs us an election.</p><p>I don&#8217;t care if transparency embarrasses someone I supported.</p><p><strong>If it is true, reveal it.</strong></p><p><strong>If it is wrong, confront it.</strong></p><p><strong>If someone was harmed, seek justice.</strong></p><p><strong>If power was abused, demand accountability.</strong></p><p>Now we are talking about radical change.</p><h2>The System Protects Ego</h2><p>The existing political structure has a tremendous weapon available to prevent this from happening.</p><p>Identity.</p><p>Get people emotionally attached to political identities and they will begin protecting things they would otherwise condemn.</p><p>That is the trap.</p><p>Once someone says, &#8220;I am a Republican,&#8221; there becomes tremendous pressure to defend Republicans.</p><p>Once someone says, &#8220;I am a Democrat,&#8221; there becomes tremendous pressure to defend Democrats.</p><p>Once someone defines themselves primarily as a capitalist, socialist, conservative, progressive or nationalist, criticism of the ideology can begin to feel like criticism of the person.</p><p>Ego enters the room.</p><p>And once ego enters the room, truth usually starts looking for the exit.</p><p>This is why I believe the political transformation America needs is much deeper than changing parties.</p><p>We don&#8217;t simply need different people sitting in the chairs.</p><p>We need to change the standard by which we judge whoever sits in them.</p><p>That standard should be Love.</p><p>Not emotional Love.</p><p>Not romantic Love.</p><p>Not performative Love.</p><p><strong>God-centered Love rooted in truth, justice, mercy, courage, service and accountability.</strong></p><p>The kind of Love strong enough to forgive an enemy while still demanding that the enemy stop hurting people.</p><p>The kind of Love capable of showing mercy to the guilty while still protecting the innocent.</p><p>The kind of Love that can look someone directly in the face and say:</p><p>What you are doing is wrong.</p><p>And I refuse to hate you.</p><p>But I also refuse to help you continue doing it.</p><p>That is power.</p><h2>A Simple Political Test</h2><p>So from now on, I believe there is a very simple way to evaluate almost every political issue placed before us.</p><p>Remove the political labels first.</p><p>Strip them completely away.</p><p>Then ask:</p><p><strong>Where is the truth?</strong></p><p><strong>Where is the injustice?</strong></p><p><strong>Who possesses the power?</strong></p><p><strong>Who is demanding transparency?</strong></p><p><strong>Who is resisting transparency?</strong></p><p><strong>Who is seeking accountability?</strong></p><p><strong>Who is protecting people from accountability?</strong></p><p>Follow those answers.</p><p>Do it regardless of party.</p><p>Do it regardless of ideology.</p><p>Do it regardless of race.</p><p>Do it regardless of religion.</p><p>Do it regardless of wealth.</p><p>Do it regardless of whether the person involved is someone you admire or someone you cannot stand.</p><p>And most importantly, be willing to follow those answers <strong>no matter the cost</strong>.</p><p>Because that is where the real test begins.</p><p>Everyone loves accountability when their enemy is being investigated.</p><p>Everyone loves transparency when the documents embarrass the other side.</p><p>Everyone loves justice when the verdict validates something they already believed.</p><p>But Love asks whether you still want the truth when the truth walks through <strong>your</strong> front door.</p><p>Will you demand the documents when they expose your friends?</p><p>Will you support the investigation when it reaches your political party?</p><p>Will you defend someone&#8217;s rights when you despise their politics?</p><p>Will you admit you were wrong when the evidence demands it?</p><p>Will you sacrifice power rather than sacrifice truth?</p><p>That is the dividing line.</p><h2>Beyond Left and Right</h2><p>I no longer believe the great struggle before us is fundamentally left versus right.</p><p>It is deeper than that.</p><p>It is <strong>ego versus Love</strong>.</p><p>Secrecy versus transparency.</p><p>Impunity versus accountability.</p><p>Deception versus truth.</p><p>Injustice versus justice.</p><p>One side says the preservation of power is the highest objective.</p><p>The other says truth must prevail even if our own kingdoms have to fall.</p><p>That second path is frightening because it offers no permanent political shelter.</p><p>There is nowhere to hide.</p><p>Love will investigate everybody.</p><p>Love will question everybody.</p><p>Love will hold everybody accountable.</p><p>Love has no sacred political cows.</p><p>Love doesn&#8217;t care what television network you watch.</p><p>Love doesn&#8217;t care what color hat you wear.</p><p>Love doesn&#8217;t care which box you checked in the last election.</p><p>Love wants the truth.</p><p>And once we begin viewing politics through that lens, much of the noise disappears.</p><p>You don&#8217;t need to understand every political philosophy ever written.</p><p>You don&#8217;t need to memorize every talking point.</p><p>You don&#8217;t need someone on television telling you which side to hate today.</p><p>Look for truth.</p><p>Demand transparency.</p><p>Seek justice.</p><p>Insist upon accountability.</p><p>Protect the innocent.</p><p>Show mercy where mercy is warranted.</p><p>Forgive without becoming a fool.</p><p>Rebuke without becoming hateful.</p><p>And never surrender your humanity simply because someone convinced you that winning an election was more important.</p><p>The Bible gave us the warning.</p><p><strong>&#8220;In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin.&#8221;</strong></p><p>America has had enough words.</p><p>Maybe it is time for a simpler lens.</p><p><strong>Love.</strong></p><p>Not Love as weakness.</p><p>Not Love as surrender.</p><p>Not Love as blindness.</p><p>Love as truth.</p><p>Love as justice.</p><p>Love as courage.</p><p>Love as accountability.</p><p>Love as transparency.</p><p>Love as mercy.</p><p>Love as the willingness to tear down anything built upon lies, including something we once believed in ourselves.</p><p>That is radical change.</p><p>Everything else may simply be another coat of paint on the same old system.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Celibacy is Clarity]]></title><description><![CDATA[I have chosen

Not because I believe everyone is called to live the way I have chosen to live. And certainly not because I have somehow lost an appreciation for intimacy, companionship, or love.</p><p>I chose celibacy because of the work I do.</p><p>The work of The Intuition Bureau requires clarity.</p><p>People come to me looking for answers. They come because something in their life does not make sense. They may be facing a personal crisis, a business problem, a spiritual struggle, an investigation, a difficult relationship, or a situation where what they can see with their eyes does not seem to tell the entire story.</p><p>If I am going to provide sage advice to another person, then I have an obligation to keep my own house in order.</p><p>I cannot spend my life surrounded by unnecessary emotional chaos and then expect to see someone else&#8217;s situation clearly.</p><p>I cannot willingly cloud my own judgment and then sell clarity to somebody else.</p><p>I cannot allow everyone access to me and simultaneously claim that I am protecting the space from which I discern.</p><p>For me, celibacy became part of the foundation.</p><p>The Apostle Paul wrote something nearly two thousand years ago that I believe speaks directly to this decision:</p><p>&#171;&#8220;And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.&#8221;</p><p>1 Corinthians 7:35&#187;</p><p>Without distraction.</p><p>Those two words contain an enormous amount of wisdom.</p><p>Paul was not declaring marriage evil. Quite the opposite. But he understood that there are seasons and callings in which a person may choose a different road because their attention is required elsewhere.</p><p>That is how I view celibacy.</p><p>It is the removal of distraction.</p><p>Sex is rarely just sex.</p><p>It can carry emotion, expectation, attachment, jealousy, obligation, fantasy, insecurity, desire, memory, resentment and sometimes manipulation.</p><p>You can leave someone&#8217;s bed and carry that person around in your mind for months.</p><p>That is not clarity.</p><p>When your work requires you to hear the whisper underneath the noise, you eventually learn that some noise is voluntary.</p><p>You invited it inside.</p><p>And if you invited it inside, you can also ask it to leave.</p><p>Wisdom Requires a Clean Window</p><p>The Bible describes divine wisdom in a very particular way.</p><p>&#171;&#8220;But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.&#8221;</p><p>James 3:17&#187;</p><p>Notice the first characteristic.</p><p>Pure.</p><p>Before wisdom from above is described as peaceable, gentle or merciful, James calls it pure.</p><p>That matters to me.</p><p>If I am asking God for wisdom, discernment and understanding, then I should also be willing to examine the condition of the vessel receiving it.</p><p>A dirty window does not mean the sun stopped shining.</p><p>It means something is obstructing the view.</p><p>My spiritual life has taught me to spend less time accusing God of being silent and more time examining what I have allowed to become noise.</p><p>Sometimes clarity requires prayer.</p><p>Sometimes it requires fasting.</p><p>Sometimes it requires solitude.</p><p>Sometimes it requires walking away from people.</p><p>And sometimes it requires shutting down sexual access to your life altogether.</p><p>That is what I chose.</p><p>Everybody Does Not Need Access to You</p><p>Modern culture treats sexual availability almost as proof that a person is alive.</p><p>Desire must be acted upon.</p><p>Attraction must be explored.</p><p>Chemistry must be investigated.</p><p>Opportunity must be seized.</p><p>I reject that.</p><p>There are many things I am capable of doing that I have no obligation to do.</p><p>Maturity is not measured by how many doors you can open.</p><p>Sometimes maturity is knowing which doors should remain locked.</p><p>Scripture says:</p><p>&#171;&#8220;Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.&#8221;</p><p>Proverbs 4:23&#187;</p><p>To keep something means to guard it.</p><p>You do not guard something by giving everyone a key.</p><p>I have become increasingly careful about who receives access to my mind, my spirit, my emotions and my body because I understand that access has consequences.</p><p>There are people who bring peace into your life.</p><p>There are people who bring confusion.</p><p>There are people who sharpen your judgment.</p><p>There are people who dull it.</p><p>And there are people whose presence can pull you so far away from yourself that you eventually forget what your life sounded like before they entered it.</p><p>Discernment means recognizing the difference.</p><p>Celibacy dramatically simplified that equation for me.</p><p>The Vessel Matters</p><p>There is another biblical passage that I find especially relevant:</p><p>&#171;&#8220;Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD.&#8221;</p><p>Isaiah 52:11&#187;</p><p>Be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD.</p><p>There is responsibility attached to carrying something sacred.</p><p>I believe advice carries responsibility.</p><p>When another human being sits before you and places an important part of their life on the table, you should approach that moment with reverence.</p><p>They may be deciding whether to leave a marriage.</p><p>Whether to pursue an investigation.</p><p>Whether to trust a business partner.</p><p>Whether to walk away from an opportunity.</p><p>Whether something they are sensing is intuition or fear.</p><p>Words can alter lives.</p><p>So I take seriously the condition in which I give them.</p><p>The cleaner my own motives, the less likely I am to project them onto someone else.</p><p>The quieter my emotional life, the easier it becomes to hear what another person is actually saying.</p><p>The stronger my relationship with God, the less desperate I become for validation from people.</p><p>And the less I need from the person sitting across from me, the more honestly I can advise them.</p><p>That is freedom.</p><p>Your Body Is Not Public Property</p><p>Paul writes:</p><p>&#171;&#8220;What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you... and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God&#8217;s.&#8221;</p><p>1 Corinthians 6:19&#8211;20&#187;</p><p>If my body is a temple, I have the right to decide who enters it.</p><p>More importantly, I have the responsibility to decide.</p><p>That distinction has become important to me.</p><p>Celibacy is often described in terms of what a person is not getting.</p><p>I see it differently.</p><p>I look at what I am protecting.</p><p>My peace.</p><p>My concentration.</p><p>My emotional equilibrium.</p><p>My spiritual discipline.</p><p>My ability to wake up in the morning without wondering what someone&#8217;s silence means.</p><p>My ability to pray without having half my consciousness trapped inside yesterday&#8217;s argument.</p><p>My ability to observe without needing a particular outcome.</p><p>My ability to hear.</p><p>Those things have value.</p><p>And once you understand their value, protecting them stops feeling like sacrifice.</p><p>Discernment Must Be Exercised</p><p>Hebrews says that spiritual maturity belongs to those:</p><p>&#171;&#8220;who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.&#8221;</p><p>Hebrews 5:14&#187;</p><p>Discernment is exercised.</p><p>That means it can become stronger.</p><p>It also means it can become weaker.</p><p>I view my spiritual life much the same way an athlete views conditioning. You cannot continuously abuse the instrument and then become surprised when its performance deteriorates.</p><p>So I condition mine.</p><p>I pray.</p><p>I study.</p><p>I spend time alone.</p><p>I examine my motives.</p><p>I listen.</p><p>I watch patterns.</p><p>I question myself.</p><p>I try to remain close to God.</p><p>And I remain celibate.</p><p>Not because celibacy magically turns a person into a prophet.</p><p>It does not.</p><p>A celibate fool is still a fool.</p><p>But removing certain distractions creates room.</p><p>And what you place inside that room determines what happens next.</p><p>I chose to fill mine with faith.</p><p>This Is My Walk</p><p>I am not writing this to tell everyone reading it to become celibate.</p><p>Paul himself made clear that different people have different gifts and different callings.</p><p>This is mine.</p><p>At this stage of my life, I understand that some things are worth more to me than temporary pleasure.</p><p>Clarity is one of them.</p><p>Peace is another.</p><p>And my relationship with God is at the top of the list.</p><p>The Intuition Bureau cannot be built upon confusion.</p><p>If I am going to ask people to trust my discernment, I must first be willing to discipline the person doing the discerning.</p><p>If I am going to tell someone else to protect their peace, I must protect mine.</p><p>If I am going to advise someone to recognize temptation, manipulation, unhealthy attachment or spiritual danger, I cannot knowingly invite those same things through my own front door.</p><p>There is an old assumption that freedom means being able to do whatever you want.</p><p>I have discovered another kind of freedom.</p><p>The freedom of no longer being controlled by what you want.</p><p>The freedom to say no.</p><p>The freedom to walk away.</p><p>The freedom to remain alone rather than invite chaos into a peaceful house.</p><p>The freedom to recognize that not every appetite deserves to be fed.</p><p>Sometimes the greatest evidence that you possess something is your ability to leave it untouched.</p><p>I chose celibacy because I chose clarity.</p><p>I chose clarity because I chose this work.</p><p>And underneath all of it, I chose to strengthen my walk with God.</p><p>For me, that foundation must remain stronger than anything built upon it.</p><p>The Intuition Bureau</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your Life Belongs to Me Now]]></title><description><![CDATA[I specialize in assisting individuals who live a God-centered life, those whose faith leads them in every aspect of their existence.

existence.<span> </span>We tend to become targets, people who are viewed as na&#239;ve or too nice to survive in a world full of deception and manipulation.<span> </span>If you are one of these individuals and need assistance overcoming a serious blockage in your life, my practice at the Intuition Bureau offers proven solutions and faith-based advice to assist you on your journey.</p><p>An example of a serious blockage some of us encounter is government-based.<span> </span>You may receive a phone call one day from a federal agent who tells you, &#8220;Your life belongs to me now.&#8221;<span> </span>If you&#8217;ve received such a call, it is imperative you understand what this means and how to proceed going forward.<span> </span>Those of us who have received a call like this know it is the beginning of a long road of injustice and heartache.<span> </span>It is the beginning of the end of your life as you know it.<span> </span>The federal government has tools at its disposal that cannot be overcome through traditional routes.<span> </span>There aren&#8217;t any law firms or government agencies that can help you once you&#8217;ve been told, &#8220;Your life is in my hands now.&#8221;</p><p>The first thing you must understand is that all your rights under the Constitution have been made null and void.<span> </span>It is useless to hold on to the illusion of having the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.<span> </span>Every aspect of your life can and will be destroyed.<span> </span>Liberty will become a lost memory.<span> </span>Happiness will no longer exist.<span> </span>You will be placed in a situation where you will either do whatever the agent tells you or you will face death.<span> </span>These agents use criminal informants to ensure compliance.<span> </span>They have the authority to access and monitor all your electronic devices.<span> </span>They will ensure you can no longer have healthy relationships in your life.<span> </span>Isolation is their ultimate goal.<span> </span>Once isolated, they will attempt to force you to join the criminal underworld they cavort with.<span> </span>If you refuse, they will rig crimes under your name and use it as leverage to force you into a life of crime.<span> </span>They won&#8217;t say it, but they will hold a secret desire for you to commit suicide.<span> </span>This allows them to pin numerous heinous crimes that their informant cohorts have already committed to your name.</p><p>Secret societies, cults, and criminal organizations are the backbone of a network of federal agents who operate in this zone.<span> </span>You will be subjected to gang stalking, witchcraft, and humiliation rituals.<span> </span>These groups operate in total confidence because they have the justice system in their back pocket.<span> </span>There are judges, members of law enforcement, prosecutors, and agents within every agency of the federal government on their payroll.<span> </span>These individuals also take part in what are called sex rituals.<span> </span>These are organized sex orgies where video evidence is obtained to use as leverage against them if they ever consider ending their corrupt relationship with the secret society, coven, cult, or organized crime group they are connected to.<span> </span>There is absolutely no incentive for anyone to help you once you have been targeted in this way.</p><p>This may all sound insurmountable and impossible to overcome.<span> </span>Nothing could be further from the truth.<span> </span>God is real and He can make the impossible very possible.<span> </span>It is imperative to stay grounded, keep your faith, and operate in total alignment with the teachings of God and of Jesus Christ.<span> </span>God holds power over all things.<span> </span>It is under His power and authority that His people can survive and thrive under tyranny.<span> </span>At the Intuition Bureau, I offer consultative services that will empower you no matter how difficult the situation may seem.<span> </span>I use biblically based solutions that have been applied for over 15 years within the government watchdog space.<span> </span>These solutions are not only tailored specifically to your situation but are crafted under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.<span> </span>They will defeat your enemies while simultaneously exalting the Lord and His love for His people.</p><p>If you&#8217;ve ever received the call and been told, &#8220;Your life belongs to me now,&#8221; remember your life belongs to God.<span> </span>Only God can direct and guide you along your path.<span> </span>You are here because of Him and He will direct your steps no matter how steep or perilous the path.<span> </span>Remember to stand ten toes down in your faith.<span> </span>Do not waver.<span> </span>Hold your head high no matter how nefarious your enemies&#8217; tactics are.<span> </span>All who stand against you are liars and thieves.<span> </span>They have no real power.<span> </span>God will apply judgement and justice to their very existence.</p><p>For more information and to book a

goes in the federal government.<span> </span>One of the big takeaways was discovering that the main priority of the justice system is perpetuating itself instead of fighting crime.<span> </span>The federal government is in the business of perpetuating crime upon innocent citizens of America to maintain control and expand their influence.<span> </span>They use a roster of criminals, also known as confidential informants, to create most of their successful prosecutions.<span> </span>Going after real criminals is dangerous and isn&#8217;t a guaranteed win.<span> </span>Using confidential informants to rig bogus investigations on innocent Americans is easy, safe, and creates nearly perfect prosecutions.<span> </span>At The Intuition Bureau, I offer consultative services for innocent Americans facing rigged investigations on the federal level.<span> </span>Combating abuse of power isn&#8217;t easy, but success is attainable by sticking to a few strategies while keeping the faith.</p><p>Before I get into a few of the strategies, let&#8217;s first outline what a rigged investigation really is.<span> </span>Investigations on the federal level that are rigged and fraudulent are a fight for one&#8217;s very life.<span> </span>One must understand that when government officials decide to illegally target an innocent individual, they are jeopardizing their careers and freedom.<span> </span>A failed attempt on an innocent individual can end in jail time for government officials.<span> </span>Therefore, they are willing to end a bogus investigation by murdering an innocent individual they can&#8217;t prosecute.<span> </span>Prosecutors and investigators have a long list of confidential informants who were given immunity for previous murders.<span> </span>This means they have access to hitmen who can murder an innocent individual without fear of prosecution.<span> </span>When faced with jail time, federal officials will employ hitmen to save their careers and livelihood.<span> </span>This is why it is important to know that your life is at stake when you are targeted with a bogus investigation.<span> </span>It isn&#8217;t enough to successfully defend yourself from prosecution.<span> </span>You must also ensure you aren&#8217;t murdered.</p><p>The best way to ensure your personal safety when federal agents are attempting to use confidential informants to murder you is by keeping quiet.<span> </span>Going to the media, using the justice system, or reaching out to friends and family will only make things worse.<span> </span>One must understand that the federal government has power over everything.<span> </span>If officials believe they will be exposed, they will use tactics to end your life.<span> </span>And they will get away with it.<span> </span>Being sober-minded is paramount.<span> </span>Unequivocally understanding that no one can help you and that you have lost all rights and freedoms under the Constitution is a necessity.<span> </span>It might feel good to play the victim, but playing the victim does nothing to save your life.</p><p>Once under the microscope of a bogus investigation, all privacy ends.<span> </span>One must accept that everything you say, do, or even type into a phone or computer will be monitored.<span> </span>Investigators use the invasion of privacy not only as a tool to build a case but as pressure on the innocent individual they are attempting to rig a case against.<span> </span>They know it hurts deeply for any American to be deprived of their privacy.<span> </span>They also know it can place a tremendous amount of psychological stress on an individual which they use to further their case.<span> </span>Invasion of privacy is like a pressure cooker; the longer they use it, the softer the target becomes.<span> </span>Having the ability to live your life knowing everything you do is being monitored and recorded while also knowing there is nothing you can do about it is a necessity.<span> </span>Simply accept that your life has become a Truman Show.<span> </span>You&#8217;ve been made a star; revel in it.</p><p>Dating apps and social media are where the biggest traps exist once you&#8217;ve been placed under 24/7/365 monitoring by the federal government.<span> </span>The government has access to and the ability to control those types of platforms.<span> </span>One must know and understand that the use of dating apps while under a bogus investigation is dangerous.<span> </span>Sex is the number one tool investigators and prosecutors use when attempting to pull off a bogus prosecution on an innocent individual.<span> </span>If they can&#8217;t use a honeytrap to influence you into committing a crime, they will send someone with an STD to get you infected with a lifelong disease.<span> </span>Bogus investigations are all about isolation.<span> </span>Having a lifelong disease is one of the best ways to isolate an individual while also placing a heavy amount of psychological stress on them.<span> </span>If you are under a bogus investigation, never use dating apps.<span> </span>If you use them, always use protection if you have sex.<span> </span>Never fall in love with anyone on a dating app when under a fraudulent investigation.<span> </span>It will only end badly.</p><p>Commit yourself to a faith-filled life and rid yourself of any addictions.<span> </span>Prosecutors and investigators have a playbook for bogus investigations.<span> </span>They know how to use any vices one might have against them.<span> </span>If you gamble, they will instigate situations that will cause a gambling addiction.<span> </span>If you smoke marijuana, they will try to get you to use other drugs to force an addiction to them.<span> </span>Any vice you may have can and will be used to blow up your life.<span> </span>Turn to God and end all vices.<span> </span>One must live a truly pious life to survive a bogus investigation.<span> </span>Think of a bogus investigation as a blessing, a blessing that forces you to be the best person you can be.</p><p>Limiting access and minimizing your social circle is imperative.<span> </span>When under a bogus federal investigation, one must limit who has access to them.<span> </span>Prosecutors and investigators target anyone you connect with to use them against you.<span> </span>They use lies and fake evidence to pull this off.<span> </span>Employers, landlords, friends, and family will be given fake information that accuses you of being a pedophile or some other kind of heinous criminal.<span> </span>They may even offer individuals close to you the promise of money or promotion in an industry they have always dreamed of to work against you.<span> </span>Limiting access to yourself will save you from unnecessary heartache.<span> </span>Betrayal is a real thing.<span> </span>Those closest to you will be the ones to betray you.</p><p>Listen to your gut or intuition.<span> </span>God gave us intuition for situations like fraudulent investigations.<span> </span>Believe in yourself.<span> </span>You are not crazy.<span> </span>For more information or to

Intuition Bureau.<span> </span>A &#8220;destiny swap&#8221; can best be described as a spiritual concept describing the alleged displacement, diversion, or exchange of one person&#8217;s intended life trajectory, in which opportunities, relationships, influence, prosperity, purpose, or other outcomes believed to belong to that individual appear instead to manifest through another person.<span> </span>The entertainment industry is ground zero for this scam peddled by many &#8220;gatekeepers&#8221; in industries like television, music, and social media.<span> </span>These &#8220;gatekeepers&#8221; use a combination of private detectives, corrupt law enforcement, witch doctors or voodoo practitioners, and family and friends of the intended target.<span> </span>Targets of this scam can see their lives go from a panacea to death and destruction overnight.</p><p>The entertainment industry tends to be a very controlled environment.<span> </span>To rise in popularity, one must make the right connections and maneuver pivotal relationships for high-profile opportunities.<span> </span>It&#8217;s almost impossible to succeed in the entertainment industry without connections who can open and close doors for gigs.<span> </span>This is why so many sex and abuse scandals come to the surface.<span> </span>Sexual energy is a real currency in the entertainment biz.<span> </span>Destiny swaps usually orbit around a required set of sex deeds for everyone involved.<span> </span>This is why refusing all sexual proposals is a requirement for avoiding a destiny swap.<span> </span>Destiny swaps will die in the water if sex is pulled from the table.</p><p>How, then, does one advance in an industry that requires private sexual performance for success?<span> </span>By never using sex for opportunities.<span> </span>Standing ten toes down and relying on work ethic and perpetual improvement is the only way anyone should attempt to advance in any industry.<span> </span>The day one chooses to use sex for advancement is the day they lose their &#8220;destiny.&#8221; The Knight of Pentacles is said to be the slowest-moving card in the deck of Tarot.<span> </span>It represents an energy that meticulously moves forward on a solid foundation.<span> </span>Though it isn&#8217;t the fastest, it is the only card that is assured to show up when it counts.<span> </span>That is the energy one must embody when attempting to advance professionally.<span> </span>Any other energy will fail and open one to a destiny swap.</p><p>The anti-destiny swap strategy of The Intuition Bureau is based on refusing to accept or partake in a rigged system.<span> </span>Rigged systems are the only systems destiny swaps can succeed in.<span> </span>This is why destiny swaps aren&#8217;t a part of reality.<span> </span>For a destiny swap to succeed, the rigged system it exists in must be a system devoid of reality.<span> </span>Therefore, it&#8217;s impossible for a destiny swap to succeed on an individual whose destiny is rooted in reality.<span> </span>The Knight of Pentacles is the ultimate energy of one who resides in reality.<span> </span>Residing in reality makes destiny swaps null and void.</p><p>Mass murderer and cult leader Jim Jones made the term &#8220;drinking the Kool-Aid&#8221; popular.<span> </span>Once he knew his days were coming to an end, he had ordered there to be poisoned Flavor-Aid with cyanide for his followers to drink.<span> </span>Jonestown became the ultimate example of a closed system consuming itself. The ideology, control, and obedience that allowed Jim Jones to build his power eventually became the machinery of destruction for Jones and the community surrounding him.<span> </span>This is why a destiny swap scams the scammer.<span> </span>The &#8220;gatekeepers&#8221; selling and perpetrating destiny swaps are subconsciously creating a toxic environment that ultimately ends their purpose for existence.<span> </span>Once an industry turns from promoting talent based on merit, the system it is built on ends.<span> </span>Once that system ends, the &#8220;gatekeepers&#8221; are no longer needed.<span> </span>Destiny swaps are the ultimate Kool-Aid for the &#8220;gatekeepers&#8221; poisoning their own positions.</p><p>Relying on work ethic, merit, and actively improving one&#8217;s talents is the only way to avoid the destiny swap scam.<span> </span>This is a harder road, the path less taken.<span> </span>It also takes more time and much more effort.<span> </span>The use of patience and grit is imperative.<span> </span>Laying out and following a well-thought-out plan is a necessity.<span> </span>Ultimately, having a strong spiritual life and a reliance on faith is the true key to success in any industry.<span> </span>Discover more about this at <a href="https://www.theintuitionbureau.com/">The Intuition Bureau</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Competition of Life Takes Place Within]]></title><description><![CDATA[Appearances are deceptive, especially in this day and age.

based on how a person&#8217;s life looks from the outside looking in.<span> </span>Back when I was a salesman at Bloomingdale&#8217;s, I spent months assessing customers by appearance alone.<span> </span>I was convinced I could successfully evaluate their wealth and ability to purchase costly wares through the type of clothes they wore, or how they carried themselves as they shopped.<span> </span>I quickly learned this approach was foolish.<span> </span>My best customers seemed to be the poorest people shopping, while the most difficult clients who made me work to the bone while barely spending any money appeared to be the wealthiest.<span> </span>My biggest surprise came when I realized the best clients usually started out very rude, angry, and flippant.</p><p>This experience taught me a good lesson about life on planet Earth.<span> </span>Our existence here is a brutal one.<span> </span>Those of us who are blessed with abundant material or spiritual wealth are targeted and vulnerable to many forms of abuse and deception.<span> </span>Greed is real and our world is filled with individuals in lack who dream of schemes to take from those who are abundant.<span> </span>Those who are wealthy must stay guarded and prepared for war every moment of every day.<span> </span>The wicked never stop plotting and scheming on those who they believe they can steal from.<span> </span>Therefore, the wealthy and abundant must always stand guard over all they have earned.<span> </span>The moment they let their guard down is surely the time they will fall victim to the wolves on the prowl masquerading as sheep.<span> </span>The day they lose vigilance is the day the snake hiding in the bush will strike.</p><p>I realized the rudest customers who would refuse to say hello or even look me in the eye when I greeted them were the best.<span> </span>They were rude and avoidant because they had fallen victim to a slick salesman in the past who ripped them off.<span> </span>These were the type of customers who can&#8217;t say no, who open their wallets and spend freely when presented with a good deal or special item.<span> </span>These were people who needed a massive external shield because their internal defenses were non-existent.<span> </span>They were sitting on a massive hidden treasure that didn&#8217;t have a vault or any other form of security.<span> </span>They had to be rude, nasty even.<span> </span>They walked through the store with scowls on their faces.<span> </span>They refused to make eye contact with anyone.<span> </span>Their automatic response to any type of greeting was unbridled anger.<span> </span>They were mad they had to shop for their needs while knowing they couldn&#8217;t defend their wealth from salespeople looking to fleece them of every penny.<span> </span>My best client relationships started with me getting verbally abused by these types of customers.<span> </span>Since I was a knowledgeable and honest salesperson, a successful transaction with a customer like this would lead to a long-term relationship.<span> </span>I became their protector, the person they skipped through the entire store just to connect with me.</p><p>Outside appearances are usually a result of a person&#8217;s pain in life.<span> </span>Those of us who have fallen victim to being targeted for our hard-earned wealth tend to dress down and appear to lack wealth.<span> </span>Those who can&#8217;t survive without attaining another&#8217;s wealth tend to look flashy and wealthy, attempting to lure in a new victim.<span> </span>Those who are spiritually abundant usually embody the Bible verse, &#8220;Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.&#8221;<span> </span>Providing strangers with wisdom is a dangerous endeavor.<span> </span>Those who lack abundance spiritually will always target the wise to take what they have to offer so they can hurt them with it.<span> </span>This is a brutal world we live in.</p><p>All of this has taught me to live in the moment.<span> </span>I don&#8217;t worry about tomorrow because nothing is guaranteed.<span> </span>James 4:13-15 says it well, <em>&#8220;Go to now, ye that say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:<span> </span>Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.<span> </span>For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.&#8221; </em>I am fully aware of my fate as one with wisdom and spiritual abundance.<span> </span>I will always be hunted and subjected to endless plots and schemes by those in spiritual lack.<span> </span>They will never stop attempting to pry and steal any little bit of wisdom or spiritual knowledge I possess.<span> </span>Unlike the rude and nasty customers who lacked basic defenses for their wealth, I possess a labyrinth of defense for the spiritual wealth I&#8217;ve earned.<span> </span>I&#8217;ve learned to share the basics while keeping the true treasure hidden from swine.<span> </span>From the outside, most would view me as lacking what they perceive is spiritual awareness.<span> </span>My pearls are hidden because we live in a brutal world.<span> </span>I know very well I am not guaranteed a prosperous tomorrow.<span> </span>Death can come to take me at any moment.</p><p>Our victories must always stay hidden lest we be robbed and left barren on the day of judgement.<span> </span>All that should matter for those who have abundance is what is hidden.<span> </span>Who we truly are and our relationship with God must stay within.<span> </span>The world can never really know what we have hidden in our vaults, spiritually or physically.<span> </span>We must stay faithful and satisfied within our own secret world.<span> </span>As badly as we may want to flaunt what we have, we cannot.<span> </span>We aren&#8217;t guaranteed tomorrow, nor are we guaranteed perpetual wealth of any kind.<span> </span>Remaining diligent while staying satisfied within our inner journey is our hard path.<span> </span>As badly as we may want the world to witness our victories or our wealth, life demands secrecy.<span> </span>It is in this secrecy that we find relief from this brutal world.</p><p>For more, visit <a href="https://www.theintuitionbureau.com/">The Intuition Bureau</a></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Independent Political Parties and 10-Point Plans Are Scams]]></title><description><![CDATA[For far too long we&#8217;ve been handed a ticket and forced to wait in a field of weeds and mud, suffering under sweltering heat with the promise of seeing the greatest show on earth called modern American politics.

sweltering heat with the promise of seeing the greatest show on earth called modern American politics.<span> </span>We experience this every four years.<span> </span>And every time we get to see the show under the big tent of our political circus, we walk away feeling gypped and abused.<span> </span>We ask ourselves, &#8220;Why did we pay so much and wait so long just to see old toothless lions mope around a rusty cage?<span> </span>Why are we satisfied with stale popcorn, geriatric clowns, and drunk ringmasters putting us to sleep with boring lines we&#8217;ve heard a million times?&#8221;<span> </span>We all know American politics is no longer the &#8220;greatest show on earth.&#8221;<span> </span>We know we are being gypped.<span> </span>Yet we continue to get in line every four years, hoping to see something new while knowing in our hearts we&#8217;ll be let down.<span> </span>It&#8217;s time for Americans to remove ourselves from this endless political circus we have been subjected to.</p><p>There was a time when our nation had real heroes who took public office seriously.<span> </span>They offered us groundbreaking solutions to generational curses like Jim Crow and slavery.<span> </span>And they backed the rhetoric up with real action.<span> </span>Action that cost real political capital.<span> </span>Real societal pain.<span> </span>Pain that brought us renewal and a prosperous path forward.<span> </span>LBJ, JFK Jr., and Lincoln weren&#8217;t perfect men, but they moved us forward in a positive direction.<span> </span>People like MLK Jr., Susan B. Anthony, Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, and Eleanor Roosevelt put their entire lives into pushing justice forward.<span> </span>They were titans in the soul and their missions live to this day.<span> </span>Politics were real in their day.<span> </span>The movements they drove made a difference.<span> </span>They were in a coliseum surrounded by hungry, vicious lions, and they slew them.<span> </span>Somewhere along the way, we stopped supporting the coliseum and instead agreed to wait in line for the clown show of the circus.</p><p>Why did we turn away from the blood sport of the political coliseum?<span> </span>Was it too real?<span> </span>Too graphic?<span> </span>Or did we lose the heart to take part and support a real blood sport where our leaders willingly put their lives on the line to get the job done?<span> </span>It&#8217;s easy to blame the charlatans feeding us their 10-point plans and independent parties that aren&#8217;t independent.<span> </span>Sitting in front of our television or staring into the black mirror we call a smartphone, contemplating which geriatric clown makes us laugh, cry, or feel a tiny bit of emotion, isn&#8217;t our civic duty as voters.<span> </span>It&#8217;s an abdication of our duty.<span> </span>It&#8217;s a passing of the buck to the next generation, hoping they will do what we were too lazy to even contemplate.</p><p>Our system is designed to foster political conflict.<span> </span>It is designed to hold us back until we are ready to fight.<span> </span>Ready to take the torch of our ancestors to burn the political circus down.<span> </span>There is no middle ground.<span> </span>We either use the fire of our ancestors to burn away our shackles and fight in the lion&#8217;s den of the coliseum, or we continue being fed the stale popcorn and warm beer under the moldy circus tent.</p><p>Today&#8217;s political circus characters are social media influencers and disgraced politicians.<span> </span>They aren&#8217;t gladiators.<span> </span>They aren&#8217;t leaders on a mission.<span> </span>They are trickster spirits sent to keep us distracted with policies that are passive-aggressive digs on immigrants and the most vulnerable in our communities.<span> </span>They want us to turn our neighborhoods and homes into coliseums.<span> </span>They want us to battle our neighbors, children, and spouses to the death.<span> </span>They hide behind slogans of &#8220;honesty and truth,&#8221; &#8220;beauty and optimism,&#8221; and &#8220;healthy and wise.&#8221;<span> </span>But when the cameras are off, they bury themselves in strong drink, slander, and greed.<span> </span>Their only desire is to perpetuate domestic discord while reaping fame and fortune off our overloaded backs.</p><p>We have two years to abandon the circus line.<span> </span>Take ourselves out of the field of weeds and mud.<span> </span>Abandon the line leading to the musty tent.<span> </span>We need to reject the toothless lion show.<span> </span>It&#8217;s time we place our ancestors&#8217; torch on the ropes stabilizing the circus tent of American politics.<span> </span>Collapse it once and for all and take our seats in the coliseum where the real blood sport for America&#8217;s future is taking place.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Living in a Higher

low-vibrational person operates. Zombies mindlessly trek through a world full of light and beauty, searching for something alive to either destroy or convert into a zombie. They are mindless beings, never satisfied, and they continue their rampage until they can no longer function. Zombies don&#8217;t care about their well-being or the well-being of others. They have no soul and use the little mind power they have to focus solely on consumption. Look around, and you&#8217;ll notice many of the people around us are like zombies. Below the surface, they are ruled by insatiable greed, are soulless, and are incapable of having feelings like love or happiness.</p><p>Many of my investigations over the years involved exposing zombie-like people in positions of power. These people are really zombie overlords leading an army of zombies who destroy and pillage the communities they swear to serve. They use their power to ensure the government is loaded with zombies who either turn their co-workers or destroy their careers. They empower criminals and make life hard for innocent people simply trying to live their lives. It takes a lot of willpower and fortitude to expose the crimes they commit because they are supported by most media outlets and corporate America. Their political coffers are consistently stuffed with lobbyist cash and money from shady individuals who rely on corruption for their criminal endeavors.</p><p>I was hired to help a whistleblower years ago who became trapped by an elite group of zombies hell-bent on destroying his life because he knew too much and took steps to reveal it all. When he came to me, his entire life was being infiltrated by this group of elites attempting to silence him before he exposed the criminality he witnessed. A big part of silencing him could best be described as a humiliation ritual. Every person he was connected to was either paid to spy on him or had agreed to testify to a set of lies that made him out not to be credible. He was accused of being a child abuser by his ex-wife and had to endure a bogus state child protective services investigation. His new partner and her family were told by law enforcement that he was secretly engaging in embarrassing sexual activities. They created AI sex videos and used them as proof of this false narrative. This led to his partner joining in on the campaign to discredit him. Feeling betrayed, she began to cheat on him with the individuals creating the smear campaign against him. His closest family members turned on him and agreed to testify to a set of lies that made him out to be a secret drug and sex addict as well as an abuser. He had also survived several attempts on his life, having been poisoned several times and attacked by voodoo and Santeria priests who were performing rituals on him every full moon. As I helped him through all of this, it became apparent that he couldn&#8217;t go to law enforcement because they were some of the main actors involved in dismantling his life.</p><p>I was witness to him being forced to end all his relationships except for those with his children. He basically worked, ran errands, and raised his children while attempting to rebuild his life under a mountain of slanderous lies. He was able to get this new start on life without succumbing to the activities meant to end his life because he actively healed throughout the entire process. He didn&#8217;t wait until all was lost to start healing. Truth be told, he would never have gotten that chance because the groups attacking him were out for blood. They wanted the end of his life and had the entire system rigged to accomplish that goal. If he had waited to heal, there would have been no life left to heal. A part of my practice at The Intuition Bureau is providing sage advice in the moment that allows for healing while under attack. His attackers were constantly waiting to see his demise, but it never happened because every attack he sustained was finalized with him healed from every wound. The key was raising his vibrational energy.</p><p>Philippians 4:8 was a pivotal Bible verse I showed him to use as a lighthouse while he was in stormy waters. &#8220;Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, carefully consider these things.&#8221; The secret society attacking him was made up of several covens and cults, as well as the Masons. These groups are low-vibrational at their core, and all their attacks are meant to drag their victims into a low-vibrational energy. The members of these groups are primarily liars and thieves. They have no honor; justice isn&#8217;t in their vocabulary; they are brutish animals inside, full of filthy thoughts and emotions; and nothing they do is commendable or worthy of praise. Philippians 4:8 is the roadmap for being the total opposite of the type of people who join secret societies. My client simply embodied everything they couldn&#8217;t be, which allowed him to not only sustain himself under their attacks but also thrive. He became a mirror to a group of elites wearing masks of honor, hiding their true nature, which was zombie-like.</p><p>Living in truth and honor. Clinging to justice and purity. Cavorting with true love and beauty. Behaving with high moral character. Operating at a level of excellence. Praising loyalty and universal love is how you raise your vibrational energy. It is how you rise above the attacks of low-vibrational mask wearers. It is also how you heal in the moment when under relentless attacks from powerful people who are above the law. The sessions I offer at The Intuition Bureau are focused on helping my clients create this high-vibrational energy in their everyday lives. It is how victory is attained when it seems winning is impossible.</p><p>For more, please visit <a href="https://www.theintuitionbureau.com/">The Intuition Bureau</a></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[America’s Downfall: Secret Societies]]></title><description><![CDATA[As I&#8217;ve written before, I am a product of a family that was mired in poverty and dysfunction.

in Miami throughout the 1980s and &#8217;90s left a serious mark on my life.<span> </span>Not only was I raised in poverty, but I barely had any parental supervision.<span> </span>Attending school made no difference.<span> </span>Having sustenance didn&#8217;t matter either.<span> </span>Many nights were spent drinking tap water to mask the hunger pangs from not having a meal to eat for dinner.<span> </span>Air conditioning wasn&#8217;t an option either.<span> </span>Most nights were spent tossing and turning in a humid hot box of whatever structure I was blessed to be living in.<span> </span>I was lucky to have a roof over my head, as I spent a portion of my life sleeping in a tent that had a leak in it.<span> </span>Since I couldn&#8217;t depend on my parents or any other adults to provide me with the basics to survive, I forged a relationship with God.<span> </span>God was there for me because humans abandoned me.<span> </span>God was my father, mother, aunt, uncle, cousin, and friend.<span> </span>My intuition was built on this foundation.</p><p>I intuitively knew I needed an education.<span> </span>I couldn&#8217;t be bullied or harassed into ignoring my studies.<span> </span>God led me not only to learn the information my teachers were providing but also to take those lessons further through supplemental studies.<span> </span>I spent my free time reading Nietzsche, Gurdjieff, and C.S. Lewis.<span> </span>Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the New Testament books written by Paul were guidebooks for surviving the crime and destruction surrounding me in the Liberty City section of Miami.<span> </span>Instead of spending weekends and holidays hanging out with friends and family, I worked.<span> </span>The money I earned went toward helping my mom cover rent and utilities.<span> </span>I was also finally able to sleep without an empty stomach.<span> </span>God was in my heart.<span> </span>He led my intuition, opened my eyes, and guided my soul.<span> </span>My prayers were simple: &#8220;Lord, touch my heart with your grace. Provide me with your love.<span> </span>Help me when I am weak.<span> </span>Forgive me for my sins.<span> </span>Forgive those who have harmed me.<span> </span>Your blessings on my life are what I am thankful for.&#8221;<span> </span>I didn&#8217;t need to pray for money, food, or shelter.<span> </span>I didn&#8217;t need to ask for a new car or whatever trinket caught my eye.<span> </span>I had God, and He was all that I needed.</p><p>I entered the world as an adult with God by my side.<span> </span>I intuitively rejected college fraternities, clubs, or any other kind of organization.<span> </span>There was something dark about all of them that I could feel in my heart.<span> </span>Hearing of hazing incidents and watching the parties filled with drunkards and loose women solidified the intuitive nudge God had given me.<span> </span>I watched as young souls were being lost to a form of slavery at a very young age.<span> </span>It made me sad.<span> </span>But we live in America, and that is one of the highest forms of climbing the social hierarchy available, so I never openly voiced my opinion.<span> </span>I chose to operate below the radar, avoiding most of the trappings available to a young man whom most viewed as having great potential.<span> </span>This carried over into my professional life.<span> </span>So, when I started working for a think tank in Washington, D.C., fighting corruption as a government watchdog, I had an independence that most could only dream of.<span> </span>I didn&#8217;t owe a group or individual my allegiance.<span> </span>I was able to go after anyone or anything God nudged me to look at.</p><p>As I had success dismantling corruption throughout the nation, I could feel a dark shadow creeping up on me.<span> </span>Before I knew it, my co-workers started to block my work.<span> </span>When they couldn&#8217;t block it, they redirected it.<span> </span>I started to see my work begin to benefit certain individuals and news organizations I had no connection to.<span> </span>Political narratives were created that twisted my work away from the guidance God was providing me.<span> </span>Prayer and meditation on this situation led me to create invisible structures surrounding my work that would allow God&#8217;s will to continue to work through me.<span> </span>It took those around me a while to figure out what I was doing and the impact I was having.<span> </span>They finally fired me because I wouldn&#8217;t abandon God to join their twisted game.<span> </span>I was warned when I chose to be fired instead of abandoning God.<span> </span>My boss told me I didn&#8217;t know the situation I was putting myself in.<span> </span>His eyes were wide, and he had a smirk on his face when I walked away from him in our last meeting at a taco joint in South Florida.</p><p>I didn&#8217;t know the situation I was putting myself in by choosing God.<span> </span>I took a leap of faith.<span> </span>I chose faith the same way I always did.<span> </span>God was there for me when, at seven years old, I cooked meals for myself and my siblings.<span> </span>God was there for me when I was mocked and ridiculed for wearing clothes with holes on the first day of school.<span> </span>He was there for me when I had to get a restraining order against my wife after she attacked me over what she believed was an affair I was having.<span> </span>I never cheated on my wife, but the secret societies that run Washington, D.C., had ways to make it seem like I did.<span> </span>Unbeknownst to me, all my devices were hacked and monitored by some type of secret society tied to my employer.<span> </span>When I walked away from my job in D.C., I was walking away from a secret society.<span> </span>When I arrived home from a trip to D.C., my wife met me at the door with an iPad that had pages of all my text messages and emails curated to look like I was having an affair.<span> </span>I was guilty until proven innocent.<span> </span>I was also forced to file for a divorce because my wife was clearly in contact with individuals connected to the secret society attempting to control my life at all costs.</p><p>Secret societies comprise individuals involved in fraternities, sororities, cults, covens, Masonic lodges, and Christian church organizations.<span> </span>They are secret because they are criminal organizations.<span> </span>Their members place the society above their spouses, families, communities, nation, and God.<span> </span>Their initiation routines and rituals are designed to rip their souls from their bodies.<span> </span>Most are lifeless, like zombies hell-bent on creating as much pain and suffering as possible.<span> </span>They roam the world searching for innocent souls to devour.<span> </span>They find homes in law enforcement, the media, Hollywood, and corporate America.<span> </span>Our political system is dominated by their minions.<span> </span>Once you become a targeted individual, you enter a never-ending cycle of attacks and harassment designed to either imprison you or cause you an untimely death.<span> </span>They use life insurance policies and a rigged judiciary to profit from their organized attacks on those who refuse to bend the knee.<span> </span>For those of us who live our lives with God, it comes down to abandoning our faith or suffering a grueling path that leads to poverty and death.<span> </span>This is why America is falling.<span> </span>These groups are the death of America.</p><p>God has blessed me with the intuition and work ethic to survive under an all-out attack from these groups over the past decade, probably longer.<span> </span>God has taught me not to seek revenge, but to have mercy and forgiveness and allow Him to provide me with justice.<span> </span>I sleep well at night.<span> </span>I enjoy my time with my children.<span> </span>I enjoy writing and sharing my experience with the world.<span> </span>Even though my work is shadow-banned and restricted, I will always choose God no matter how hard these groups attack me.<span> </span>Their lies and smear campaigns only make me stronger.<span> </span>I thrive in solitude.<span> </span>It&#8217;s always been me and God.<span> </span>It&#8217;s how I like it.<span> </span>I refuse to go to war with these groups.<span> </span>They are already in their own living hell.<span> </span>Their beef is with God, and I am going to allow them to continue their beef if they like.<span> </span>In the meantime, I am going to continue to share this journey with my readers.<span> </span>All my work is a reflection of my relationship with the Most High, the Holiest of Holies, the Creator of all things.<span> </span>My life reflects His glory and love.<span> </span>The Intuition Bureau is the new company I birthed from this experience I am living through.<span> </span>It is the foundation of my life moving forward: a life of a free man blessed by God, independent of the secret societies destroying our nation.</p><p>Visit <a href="https://www.theintuitionbureau.com/">The Intuition Bureau</a> for

Anderson</p><p>The Intuition Bureau</p><p>7901 4th St N Suite 300 St. Petersburg, Fl. 33702</p><p><a href="mailto:info@oracletalentgroup.com">info@oracletalentgroup.com</a></p><p>954-324-9275</p><p>Date Submitted: July 26, 2026</p><p>Introduction and Background of the Complainant</p><p>I submit this complaint based on more than fifteen years of experience conducting government-watchdog and public-integrity research in Washington, D.C. Throughout my career, I have examined congressional financial disclosures, campaign-finance records, corporate filings, property records, nonprofit documents, and other public records relevant to the conduct of elected officials.</p><p>My prior work has included research supporting ethics complaints and public-integrity investigations involving Members of Congress, including Representatives Charles Rangel, Gregory Meeks, and Elise Stefanik. I have also contributed research to dozens of investigative news stories published by major national and regional news organizations, frequently providing the documentary record and factual foundation upon which those reports were developed.</p><p>I am also the co-author of Gold Bar Bob: The Downfall of the Most Corrupt U.S. Senator, a book examining the conduct, political relationships, and eventual prosecution of former United States Senator Robert Menendez. That work grew out of approximately fifteen years of research into matters involving Senator Menendez and helped inform public reporting concerning his activities.</p><p>I provide this background not as a substitute for the evidence presented in this complaint, but to explain my experience reviewing financial-disclosure records, identifying material omissions, and documenting potential violations of federal ethics requirements. The allegations below are based on public records and supporting documentation that, taken together, provide substantial reason to believe that Representative Ayanna Pressley failed to disclose reportable financial interests belonging to the Representative&#8217;s spouse.</p><div><hr></div><p>The first black woman elected to represent the state of Massachusetts in Congress has a serious controversy on her hands.<span> </span>On July 18, 2026, Boston police found 18-year-old Yoseliani Marte dead from a gunshot wound inside a rental property in Mattapan. The property is owned by Conan Harris, the husband of Massachusetts Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley. Pressley and Harris do not live at the property.</p><p>The Boston Police Homicide Unit is investigating the death. No arrest or suspect has been publicly announced. The medical examiner determined that Marte died from a single gunshot wound, but the official manner of death remains under investigation.</p><p>Marte&#8217;s mother has said she believes her daughter was killed in an act of domestic violence. Boston police have not publicly confirmed that account.</p><p>Pressley expressed condolences to Marte&#8217;s family and said her attention was focused on the victim. Neither Pressley nor Harris has been accused of involvement in Marte&#8217;s death. The controversy is based on Harris&#8217;s ownership of the rental property where the young woman was found, not on any allegation by police that Pressley or her husband participated in the shooting.</p><p>It is important to stress nothing has been revealed that shows Pressley or her husband Conan Harris had anything to do with this tragedy.<span> </span>With that said it is important for the public to know as much information as possible about a Congressional officeholder to have a clear understanding of who their voice is in Washington DC and what kind of lifestyle they live that would connect them to such a shocking event.<span> </span>It is rare to hear a member of Congress having their name involved in a Saturday afternoon murder of a young woman.</p><p>According to public accounts Pressley came up through politics through the Kennedy family.<span> </span>She started as an intern after dropping out of college for Representative Joseph P. Kennedy working her way up the political ladder to eventually become his scheduler and constituency director.<span> </span>She moved on from Kennedy&#8217;s office to become political director and senior aide of John Kerry.<span> </span>She then became the first ever black woman to sit on the over 100-year-old Boston City Council.<span> </span>In 2018 she defeated incumbent Michael Capuano to become a member of Congress.</p><p>A deep dive into her financial disclosures show she doesn&#8217;t have many assets.<span> </span>According to her latest 2025 financial disclosure she has a home in Boston and a city of Boston pension.<span> </span>She doesn&#8217;t list owning things like a bank account, life insurance policy, or any kind of stock, bond, IRA or savings account.<span> </span>Meanwhile her husband is flush with assets.<span> </span>Conan Harris is a former convicted felon who was prosecuted on drug charges.<span> </span>Harris previously served 10 years in prison following a felony drug-trafficking conviction. Publicly available authoritative sources do not clearly identify the drug or the precise charge.<span> </span>According to her initial financial disclosure filing when entering Congress Harris had an IRS tax debt he was paying off through a payment plan.<span> </span>He had between $500,000-$1,000,000 in mortgage debt on the primary residence the two lived in that has an attached rental unit.<span> </span>This attached rental unit was not the rental the woman was murdered in.<span> </span>In 2020 she reported her husband took out a Covid PPP loan that was between $15,000-$50,000, even though he reported income of $246,102.25 that year.</p><p>The year 2021 was a significant year for the couple.<span> </span>According to Pressley&#8217;s 2021 financial disclosure form her husband purchased several new rental properties.<span> </span>The new properties added up to $2.5 million in new debt Harris had taken on.<span> </span>His rental income from the properties were up to $120,000 that year.<span> </span>Pressley financial disclosures also show Harris earning income from an LLC he uses for consulting work called Conan Harris &amp; Associates.<span> </span>He earned over $300,000 in income in 2021 through this LLC.</p><p>The 25 Malta Street rental property, where the murder took place, is owned by Harris alone and is split into two units.<span> </span>He has up to $1,000,000 in mortgages on it and received up to $17,500 in rental income between the two the year he bought the property.<span> </span>The rental income for this property exploded in 2022 as Pressley reported her husband received between $50,000-$100,000 in rental income that year.<span> </span>The rental income has continued at this level according to Pressley&#8217;s latest financial disclosure form.</p><p>2024 was an interesting year for Pressley&#8217;s husband Harris.<span> </span>Her financial disclosure form shows her husband earned rental income from a property in Ft. Lauderdale, Fl.<span> </span>It also shows he sold that property the same year.<span> </span>The problem here is she never discloses when he purchased the property on previous financial disclosure forms.<span> </span>He earned between $50,000-$100,000 in rental income and capital gains income from this Florida property.<span> </span>Was this a property he owned for years, and it was never disclosed?<span> </span>Or did he flip the property the same year he bought it?<span> </span>If so, that would mean he purchased the property made rental income then sold it for a profit all in the same year.<span> </span>This was also the year Harris paid off his IRS debt of up to $15,000 he had since the year 2014.</p><p>A review of public documents reveals a different set of facts that what Representative Pressley has disclosed within her financial disclosures.<span> </span>The condo in Florida was purchased by an LLC controlled by her husband Conan Harris.<span> </span>Harris then purchased the condo from the LLC in 2024 then turned around and sold the condo to another LLC.<span> </span>The third and final LLC which received the condo may or may not be connected to Harris.<span> </span>The LLC filings were performed by a company in Miami that filed the paperwork in a way that hides who the true owners of the LLC are.<span> </span>It is possible Harris still owns the condo.</p><p>Based on the foregoing records, there is substantial reason to believe that Representative Ayanna Pressley violated House Rule XXVI, clause 2, by failing to provide the full and complete financial disclosure required by 5 U.S.C. &#167; 13104(a)(3) and &#167; 13104(e)(1)(E) in years 2023 and 2024. Specifically, Representative Pressley failed to disclose the Representative&#8217;s spouse&#8217;s ownership interest in JLH LLC a reportable privately held business entity and failed to disclose the spouse&#8217;s interest in a Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. condo which appears to have been held for investment, rental, business, or the production of income starting in 2023.<span> </span>It would appear Pressley knowingly and willfully failed to report required information which is separately addressed by 5 U.S.C. &#167; 13106(a)</p><p>Ayana Pressley holds office in a district with the highest percentage of registered Democrat voters.<span> </span>Most of her reelection bids saw no opposition from the Republican party.<span> </span>In other words, she has a Congressional seat for life.<span> </span>It would be almost impossible to unseat her as the Democrat party would be loath to run a primary candidate against her.<span> </span>Most politicians who don&#8217;t worry about reelection tend to cross the ethical line during their careers.<span> </span>Pressley is a prime candidate for being a corrupt member of Congress.</p><p>While none of this means she had anything to do with the murder of a woman in her husband&#8217;s rental property no member of Congress should be above the law. Filing incomplete financial disclosures that fail to reveal significant property holdings as well as LLC&#8217;s owned by a spouse is a serious violation of law concerning Congressional ethics rules.<span> </span>A full investigation and review of all the allegations in this complaint should be performed to maintain the standards all members are required to adhere to.<span> </span>The public also deserves to know their Representatives are free of corrupt influences due to lack of disclosure and accountability.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link

Because of this, I performed a reading on the current investigation to expose the energies surrounding it from the past to the present and into the future. What the cards exposed is troubling. The first card to come out concerning the past was the Ten of Swords. I viewed this as the investigation being dead on arrival. Authorities decided to ensure there would never be a real investigation of what happened concerning the MV Barima. This was followed by the Two of Wands. The Two of Wands says that once it was decided the investigation would never legitimately happen, everyone began to move on. This was then followed by the Sun card in reverse, meaning little or no real information regarding the tragedy has been assessed or considered.</p><p>The people of Guyana are demanding a full and thorough investigation, while officials decided to kill the investigation before it even began. The current energy shows the government engaging the public in the energy of the Knight of Swords in reverse. This means the investigation is now politicized, disorganized, and causing conflict with the citizens of Guyana, as well as everyone involved. This conflict is so grueling that the government is deciding to back off because it views continuing to battle with the public as too costly. This has caused them to go into an energy of weighing their options. They are going back to the drawing board with the Two of Pentacles energy, attempting to figure out how to move forward.</p><p>The cards show the government choosing to try to sweep the investigation under the rug, with the Death card coming out in reverse. They could have chosen to change their ways and perform a real investigation after coming into conflict with the public over their original choice never to have a real investigation. Instead, they will choose to move forward with their original plan. The problem with that approach is that information is going to come to the surface that will contradict their approach of remaining blind to what happened concerning the MV Barima. This is shown by the Two of Swords coming out in reverse. Previously withheld information will be made public. Internal disagreements between officials will boil to the surface. Decision-makers will be forced to make decisions they previously failed to make. This is going to force the FBI to get involved. The Emperor card comes out to finish the reading. I perceive this as a foreign entity needing to get involved because the government of Guyana is incapable of handling an investigation of this magnitude. The imposition of rules, boundaries, and a clear chain of command will be necessary for this investigation to be properly performed. The FBI will be the institution to bring that to the table and give everyone closure concerning the MV Barima.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[MV Barima Tarot Reading Points

interpretation: <strong>the cards appear to be drawing attention toward children, vulnerable dependents, and the possibility that important information involving them has been concealed.</strong></p><p>At the heart of the reading is the <strong>Page of Cups</strong>.</p><p>The Page is often associated with youth, innocence, emotional vulnerability, and messages that emerge unexpectedly. In a reading concerning a national tragedy, this card can represent children directly. It can also represent people who were dependent upon adults and institutions for their safety.</p><p>But the Page of Cups does not stand alone.</p><p>It is surrounded by cards that speak of deception, failed protection, intimidation, financial corruption, and information slipping beyond someone&#8217;s control.</p><p>Behind the Page appears the <strong>Magician reversed</strong>.</p><p>The Magician reversed can represent deception, concealed information, manipulation, false records, or someone abusing their access, authority, and knowledge. In the context of the MV Barima tragedy, this immediately raises questions about passenger records, undocumented travelers, missing names, contradictory accounts, and whether the public has been given the complete story.</p><p>Were all the children aboard properly documented?</p><p>Were the ages and identities of every passenger accurately recorded?</p><p>Were children allowed onto the vessel outside of official procedures?</p><p>Did someone manipulate records or knowingly permit vulnerable passengers to travel without being properly accounted for?</p><p>These are questions the spread refuses to allow us to quietly place beneath the water.</p><p>The <strong>Empress reversed</strong> makes the interpretation even more troubling.</p><p>The Empress normally represents motherhood, nourishment, protection, care, and the preservation of life. Reversed, she can represent failed maternal protection, neglect of dependents, children not being properly cared for, or institutions failing in their duty to protect those placed under their authority.</p><p>In a government reading, the Empress reversed may reveal a state that has abandoned its responsibility as caretaker. It speaks of a system that failed to shelter its most vulnerable citizens and may have allowed children to enter dangerous circumstances without proper oversight or protection.</p><p>The <strong>Strength card reversed</strong> points toward helplessness, fear, intimidation, and people who could not defend themselves.</p><p>Children aboard a sinking vessel would embody that symbolism in its most literal and heartbreaking form. But the card may also represent witnesses, survivors, employees, or families who feel powerless to speak openly about what they know.</p><p>The <strong>King of Pentacles reversed</strong> introduces corrupt authority, financial exploitation, bribery, profiteering, and powerful people treating human welfare as secondary to money.</p><p>This raises a darker possibility. Were financial incentives involved in allowing undocumented passengers aboard? Were safety rules ignored because someone stood to profit? Were vulnerable families or children treated as cargo rather than human beings whose lives required protection?</p><p>The <strong>Four of Pentacles reversed</strong> suggests that something once controlled may now be escaping containment. Records, information, testimony, or hidden arrangements may be slipping out of the hands of those who believed they could manage the narrative.</p><p>Whatever was being held tightly may now be coming loose.</p><p>Standing above the spread is the <strong>Hierophant upright</strong>, calling for lawful inquiry, moral accountability, institutional discipline, and testimony placed before legitimate authorities.</p><p>The Hierophant is not asking for rumors. It is demanding an investigation.</p><p>It calls for passenger lists to be examined, families to be interviewed, crew members to be questioned, financial records to be reviewed, and the identities of every missing person to be publicly and honestly accounted for.</p><p>This spread does not feel limited to mechanical failure.</p><p>It points toward vulnerable people, particularly children, surrounded by deception, failed protection, helplessness, corruption, and concealed information.</p><p>Tarot is not a criminal indictment, but it can reveal where attention should be directed. In this reading, the cards are directing attention toward the children.</p><p>Who were they?</p><p>How many were aboard?</p><p>Were they properly documented?</p><p>Who was responsible for protecting them?</p><p>And what, if anything, remains hidden beneath the official account of the MV Barima tragedy?</p><p>The waters may be dark, but the cards are asking that nothing involving these children remain buried within them.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[MV Barima Tragedy: What is in the Cards]]></title><description><![CDATA[The dark waters of Guyana are a symbol of life

From them springs forth all that is good in that beautiful nation. But that which causes life can also provide death, especially when those deep waters are not respected. On the night of July 18, 2026, tragedy struck within these dark waters. The MV Barima, a government-owned passenger and cargo ferry, began taking on water and listing near Iron Punt. It was on its way to Port Kaituma from Georgetown when it capsized into the deep. There were reportedly 179 people aboard, including crew. Investigators have determined that the vessel listed only 133 passengers, leading to theories that the crew had allowed the boat to be overloaded while accepting bribes to allow undocumented passengers aboard. Only 69 people have been rescued. Twenty-seven bodies, including those of at least four children, have been recovered, while 83 people remain missing. With a criminal investigation ongoing, few details have emerged as to the factors that led to this tragedy.</p><p>I performed a Tarot reading in which the cards reveal an upside-down situation, with most of the cards coming out in reverse. The first card I pulled related to the heart of the matter. The Page of Cups came out, revealing that this was a tragedy in which the government of Guyana&#8217;s focus may have been misplaced leading up to the events that caused it. The Page of Cups reveals a government focused on the arts, culture, beauty, architecture, festivals, public ceremonies, and national image. It reflects leadership placing importance on emotional connection to the citizens, diplomacy, reconciliation, and soft power. The Page isn&#8217;t a King, a Queen, or even an Emperor. Ultimately, the Page of Cups shows the immaturity and naivete of mistaking good intentions for strong governance.</p><p>Behind this Page came the Magician in reverse. This is an energy that symbolizes a government that acts as a Page of Cups out of fear. It is a fear that they lack the resources, ability, or depth to truly govern the nation of Guyana. Supporting all of this is the energy of the Strength card in reverse. This means the leadership is in a constant struggle over power. They are overwhelmed, inconsistent, and corrupt. It would appear that the MV Barima tragedy was a direct result of an immature government operating out of fear while the leadership battles behind the scenes for power and remains inconsistent and corrupt.</p><p>The card that came out for what would aid the nation in this time of shock and mourning is the Hierophant. The word Hierophant means holy in the ancient Greek language. The appearance of this card means the government of Guyana needs to turn to a high level of leadership that not only governs according to man&#8217;s law but also reflects what is good and right within the law of the universe. The corruption and immature games that have placated the world up to this point need to be put down. The leadership of Guyana needs to get right with God and lead without bias through strength and honesty.</p><p>The Empress card coming out in reverse is a call for the government to tackle the neglect, empty promises, corruption, and counterproductive manner in which the nation has been operating up to this point head-on. This has caused the citizens of Guyana to live without some of their greatest desires. The Four of Pentacles in reverse showed these desires being ignored. The people are longing for a government that handles its power responsibly, with fairness and conscientiousness. The MV Barima tragedy is revealing to the world, through the King of Pentacles in reverse, that the government has abused its power through corruption for far too long. Even its response has been belligerent, with threats being sent to social media platforms instead of focusing on the responsibilities at hand. Things are not looking good for the people of Guyana. The cards are revealing very dark leadership in government, darker than the life-giving waters the nation prides itself on.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mark Cuban Is the Latest Billionaire Fool Under Judgement]]></title><description><![CDATA[Inequality in America has always been a problem.

and just playing field for all its citizens.<span> </span>We are now in the year 2026 and inequality is growing at a pace where the nation is falling apart.<span> </span>Enter Mark Cuban, the maverick billionaire who has made it his mission to tackle this issue once and for all.<span> </span>Fortune Magazine posted a piece yesterday on Cuban&#8217;s &#8220;solution to the growing income inequality&#8221; problem we have faced since our founding.<span> </span>He calls on every business to give company stock to every employee from the CEO to the janitor.<span> </span>And just like that inequality will end.<span> </span>I read this piece totally shocked with his naivety.<span> </span>I couldn&#8217;t believe a smart billionaire could have such a simpleton mindset when it comes to something so huge that has plagued our nation for so long.<span> </span>I turned to the Tarot deck to see what was going on here.</p><p>The first card to drop was the Fool card.<span> </span>Mark Cuban is coming into this situation bounding with glee, without a care in the world.<span> </span>He is of the energy of someone who is taking a leap of faith in full confidence that the angels will catch him when he jumps off the cliff.<span> </span>This was followed by the Lovers card.<span> </span>The subject of inequality in America makes him feel loved and whole again.<span> </span>Tackling this subject brings him so much love and peace he feels it&#8217;s his life&#8217;s calling.<span> </span>He&#8217;s able to take this leap and feel so loved doing it because he is supported by the Six of Pentacles energy.<span> </span>The Six of Pentacles is a card that shows the person embodying it can give back to the world after a life a hardships and trials.<span> </span>Advising the nation to push for stock offerings to every employee in a corporation is Cuban&#8217;s way of being charitable and looking out for those not as blessed as him.</p><p>My intuition on the entire billionaire class in America tells me they are detached and have no idea what the true problems are facing the average American.<span> </span>This act of charity by Cuban is a confirmation in my mind.<span> </span>He lacks the understanding and awareness needed to step into such a heavy topic as inequality.<span> </span>There are layers to this.<span> </span>America has had this problem since its founding because of serious issues with how our system is built.<span> </span>Cuban like the other billionaires seems to feel a sense of obligation but lacks the vision to execute and alleviate himself of this obligatory burden.<span> </span>The reality is most of them have gamed the system for their wealth.<span> </span>Some have even cheated it.<span> </span>It is a system of inequality that rewards the cheaters and criminals and punishes honest hard-working Americans.<span> </span>Company stock can&#8217;t fix that.</p><p>The Six of Swords popped up showing Cuban needs to move on from this topic.<span> </span>The problem is he is in Fool energy while feeling loved talking about it.<span> </span>And since he has the resources and desire to give back, he won&#8217;t step away.<span> </span>He is going to continue to push down this path.<span> </span>The problem is a Ten of Swords is awaiting him.<span> </span>The Ten of Swords is one of the most brutal cards in the Tarot deck.<span> </span>It&#8217;s closer to death than the Death card.<span> </span>But Cuban isn&#8217;t going to stop because he also gets to embody the Queen of Swords energy engaging with this topic.<span> </span>As pushback comes his way through the Ten of Swords he is going to defend himself by slicing and dicing his detractors.<span> </span>His argument is going to be persuasive, and he is going to sound smart to all the other billionaires watching him on this path.<span> </span>The problem is he will ultimately find himself under Judgement going down this path, with the Judgement card coming out as the ultimate insight on this reading.</p><p>Billionaires who gamed a system of inequality probably shouldn&#8217;t try to be altruistic by offering band aids to a population suffering from gaping wounds.<span> </span>Cuban is minimizing a huge problem that needs real solutions.<span> </span>Solutions that should change the entire system he gamed for his riches.<span> </span>I feel he knows the entire system needs an overhaul but at the same time he doesn&#8217;t want to give up the advantages that allow him to prance around like a fool while receiving roses he doesn&#8217;t deserve.<span> </span>He is a man of ego, and the Ten of Swords is the ego killer.<span> </span>Another billionaire will bite the dust it seems.</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
