Dear Ron Johnson,
Dear Ron Johnson,
The introspection you showed the other day, according to reports — that alternative representation for Wisconsin, including new approaches, might be more effective — was really admirable. Just by itself, it was something far above what usually comes out of a political fray.

I'm writing you and making the "formal" announcement of my "juggernaut" campaign for the Wisconsin US Senate seat in 2022. In fact, I do already have demonstrations of support in Eau Claire and Oshkosh and elsewhere. My "base" comes from those reading substance on my sites (John4Midwest.com and Bulloney.com) rather than being suckered by buzzwords elsewhere. You have a record, so I’m not suggesting you are in the buzzword biz.

I've rooted my campaign in specific, practical solutions — initially ones that are relatively quick and easy — rather than "woke" this or that and criticizing coeds for wearing masks, which seems to be on Ohio's menu under Mr. Thiel's sponsorship and friendly Foxes. Those highest-order “woke” priorities are apparently the Fox-focus while China is building over a hundred missile silos (according to a broad group of news sources); and while we support that silo-build, as part of China’s manufacturing capability, with our dollars motivating China’s "labor" force to step up from mandatory kidney donation to a 20 minute break while children work the assembly line.

In other words, we are flushing our national security for cheap electronics made by slave labor (“exporting slavery,” I call it on my sites), which has been obvious for a long time; but additional ICBM silos are a big step in the wrong direction. This, together with Russia aligning with China, is significantly bad news.

This, together with Russia aligning with China, is significantly bad news.
The only solution to stopping our money from building China's silos is to manufacture elsewhere and let China “motivate” its labor force with something other than dollars. For security-critical items (semiconductors in particular), that means manufacture here. I am not a "protectionist," except with respect to our security and, in particular, protection from silos and their ICBM contents.

I've written on my sites that certain people — members of the media, whom I’ve sharply criticized — don't accord Russia the respect it deserves. They have disparaged Russia as a "third-rate power" and so forth. Can these media "geniuses" fly a fighter jet a hundred feet above a destroyer? Or even know the first thing about the technology that’s in any jet? Can they do highest-order mathematics, expand the bounds of scientific theory and experiment, create timeless music and much more? It is doubtful that such “journalists” know anything about Russia. You need to show respect where it’s due and not gratuitously create problems for yourself and the world.

I'm no apologist or pushover for bad actors anywhere, including those in Russia, but one needs to recognize talent and hard work, whether its here or abroad, and to respect it. That’s to say, lack of understanding by the media and some politicians of Russia’s competence and nuclear capability — together with ignorant comments — just gives Russia more incentive to further align with China and make additional flyovers. Showing respect is not shrinking from a challenge, when the lives of others are involved. It is being smart and not adding risk that could escalate into a “strategic issue,” which is what our commander there said the other day (Stars and Stripes, July 21). Many in the media (DCNY especially) have little experience studying the physical-world, either in a book or in hardware, but have only the “talent” of wagging their tongues.

None of this means that we abandon operations in the Black Sea or anywhere. It just means one shouldn’t manufacture antagonism when there’s no benefit from it.

It’s important for a Congressional representative to be very aggressive with the know-nothing media, which does not include all the media but includes many prominent players. I have already ripped CNN’s “Daniel Dale/Tapper” and his fatuous "fact checking" where he clearly doesn’t know the difference between a fact and an opinion. I intend to do more and make them pay attention because they are a disease of misinformation, falsely calling out so-called “misinformation.” Will it work, and will anyone pay attention? Who knows? …but I’m quite proud of the growing contingent of visitors to my sites, which includes quite a cohort from Europe and Eastern Europe, in particular, who know something about oppression and propaganda. And an even larger audience from China. And within the US, too, by the way.

An anti-propaganda fight today is different from previous ones because today’s propaganda is created and leveraged by the virus of 20-something “Beast journalists” who are not real journalists. I’ll be explaining this more soon. So, it’s a distributed system of propaganda but still centered on DCNY.

My background is decades in practical solutions in engineering and physics labs and manufacturing and more. I approach problems differently from such “journalists.” That won’t stop them from attacking me if I get on their radar. That’s okay. You can read about the path that brought me here, and you’ll see that I know how to fight these types, including the most dangerous among them — the know-nothing lawyers and judges.

This following is from my site, concerning a 7th Circuit opinion, but there are similar examples throughout the scourge:

A 7th Circuit three-judge panel and its clerks — over a dozen of the “finest legal minds” and whoever else in that constellation who read this particular opinion I mention — did not know or catch the error that would be points off of 9th or 10th grade math quiz. I explain that they got the correct answer, but they chose the wrong word — the five-syllable word over the two-syllable word. Why? Because it’s a fancier word with more syllables, of course.

This is an example of The Dear Alphonse — the excessively-formal talk by children in robes — plus a little Latin, leading to the Cerebrum-in-Asinus or, my preferred Greek, Cephalo-in-Gluteo. This, and associated bilge from the courts, is a big reason why government has its head where the moon don’t shine. And why regular people are oppressed.

Some “prominent legal mind,” a Charles Cooper last Feb. 7, argued for DJT’s conviction on second impeachment with his phrase, “it defies logic.” No, it did not “defy logic,” and it’s easy understand and to show, formally, for a physical sciences type. It’s that a great many lawyers — especially those influencing and calling the shots — don’t know logic, either formally or informally.

Yet smart, hard working people — a great many of them in the Midwest — use milling machines and Hardinge lathes (which I have stories about on my sites) — live by logic; yet are oppressed by court decisions and associated propaganda from lawyers and “journalists” “controlling the discourse,” who would flunk a high school quiz on basic reasoning. I can and will make hash of these know-nothing oppressors. They richly deserve it.

Having had life kick one’s butt frequently — and also childish lawyers and judges who are flatly wrong and/or corrupt, slinging their know-nothing insults time after time (and seeing one’s life and/or decades of hard work threatened or destroyed) — adds to one’s appreciation that everyone has his or her own circumstances and walking shoes.

I don't walk nearly as well as I used to before I hit the ground at 150mph in my plane, over three years ago. That began a journey, eventually to Minnesota courts and then to the Minnesota and Kansas ballots last year; and now the Ohio and Wisconsin ballots. This is not some silly "Guinness" stunt. This is my Midwest strategy.

The principal idea is simple: that governmental and financial power should not be concentrated in one corner of the country, DCNY. You don't have to be a "scholar of history" to know that such a concentration inevitably leads to trouble, as Carlos Devadip Santayana wrote.

My first few proposals are to change the Senate rules so a State's "removal replacement" election (as defined by the Senate), mandates that a Senator step aside for his replacement or be expelled; this is a general proposal, not directed at you, Senator Johnson. This is under Debugging the Constitution, Part 1 .

Second, create a mid-US Senate chamber and offices — in the general Mid-US region (KC's general environs are logical) — where the many senators, whose constituents are closer to the nation's geographic-center than to DC, can work and vote…a complex fully networked and with equal authority in conjunction with the DC Capitol.

Third, a weighted-sum determination of seniority in the Senate, where recent election performance counts more than do previous elections — the weighting falling off, for example, exponentially in the past. This is a suggested framework that a Senate, which actually wants to be responsive to the voters, would look at to promote competition and performance within its ranks, rather than the existing ossified, entrenched seniority system.

These are not extreme ideas. They enhance communication and democracy and incentive for performance in Congress; and are Constitutional and are, relatively speaking, dirt cheap and have additional cost efficiencies.

Of equal importance is to make travel easier for constituents to their representatives. Travel for communication by peaceful assembly. The closer Congress is to its constituents, with ample opportunity to travel, park, meet, and assemble — the less chance for the build-up of frustration and things popping.

People must be able to let off steam, which is obvious. You want to give them peaceful outlets (ice hockey, for example). They need to be able to communicate with their representatives and know they are not ignored — just as when they cast a vote and their legitimate concerns are made fun of — such as voting machines allowing root access (master access, the key to the computer candy store and possibly other networked computers) with the touch of one button. It’s a voting machine, not a video game.

The DCNY crowd are the ones, mainly, who brush off and make fun of concerns about an accurate voting system. This is a huge insult to voters. Rather than address obvious problems and seek solutions, they glibly dismiss people’s legitimate concerns.

People go to work, face issues and frustration with their assignments and coworkers. They pay for a decent roof for themselves and their families. They get groceries, take kids to and from little league or gymnastics, etc. They get a paycheck from which they try to make it work; and, if they're lucky, they save something and plan for their future and their kids' futures.

All this leaves no time in the day to worry whether their representatives are motivated to really go to bat and not live high on the hog while their constituents worry day to day. I am highly motivated. This is not “liberal Democrat” class-baiting. This is good engineering — identifying root causes and finding solutions. It is also genuine respect for working people who use their smarts to learn — by doing — how the world works; and then get treated like suckers by “genius” lawyers who can’t pass a math quiz.

There are crucial things to say about the government “budget” and monetary policy, and I address these at my sites; and I’ll be writing more soon. What is “different this time” is that “crypto” is on most everyone’s radar. While the brilliance of blockchain is undeniable, crypto “currency,” as it’s now embodied, is an enabler of economic problems (and exacerbates them), not a palatable solution. The big difference this time is there is now a significant industry that spotlights the big problems with our money, spending, and budgeting system. This is good in that the threat, one can hope, will motivate change in the gross deficit-spending. The bad thing is that it could lead to catastrophic losses, capital controls, and an economic “reset” that would very likely leave — you guessed it — the Midwest out in the cold. Theoretically, the Midwest could come out better because it is less leveraged than are the coasts (real estate, the main component). But the DCNY crowd is out for itself and will not compromise its financial control for the benefit of anyone else. The Midwest should not be suckered by what will likely be the “solutions” out of DCNY. This is complex and speculative, and I can’t address it all here.

I have a tight focus on the common element in our problems, which flies under the radar — the judges, who, in the great majority, have no hands-on experience with how the physical world works; yet, make crucial decisions about ordinary lives. I have numerous examples to add to what is already on my sites. This is a huge defect in our system, and people — notably Mr. Floyd, recently, but there have been a great many others — pay a huge price.

Minneapolis courts are a particularly dangerous network — a protection racket. (But the entire legal monopoly is a protection racket, too.) I identified the Minneapolis-courts’ “military regime” in April 2020 in a filing with Minnesota’s highest court. Six weeks later Mr. Floyd was dead. I was appalled but not surprised. This was the final event that triggered my Midwest project. My sites cover this, and it’s too long to even summarize here. In short, Mr. Floyd’s death was, objectively, caused by the flagrantly-corrupt Minneapolis court-protection racket, which any bad cop can see will allow their protected class to get away with anything. Not everything is about race, as so many want to make it. I easily spotted the Minneapolis protection racket, independent of race. Those who always make race an issue, regardless of any other analysis, hurt actual progress. Defunding the police is insane. Fixing the courts is the actual solution. The Constitution and a great many laws Congress has written are actually your friend. The courts twist them into pretzels. Congress can, and must, put its foot down and has the authority to do so. Anthony Kennedy pointed this out, and it is a principal theme on my sites. You can tell I have a lot to say.

But as bad as I've been having it, there are many who have had it much worse, particularly in foxholes. Our military is far more important to us than most people understand, far beyond strategic and tactical considerations — economically, in particular, as our economic strength is integrally tied to our projection of strength and decency by our armed forces. That many veterans are treated indecently is not only obscene but diminishes our economic security. There are many complex problems.

I have injuries and pain — and have had torturous pain prolonged by lawyers and judges — that remind me every day of how those who left life and limb on a battlefield have sacrificed. I am highly motivated and have sacrificed in my way and still sacrifice, but I’m not going to quit. And I'm super dee duper upset and not going to take it anymore!
