| Collapse all
I founded ScrewBigGov.com and Freedom In Action to expose the truth and motivate We The People to take action.
My family and I have sacrificed immensely in this battle to free our planet from tyrannical control. Even through all these hardships I have lead with perseverance and will NOT yield until every man, woman and child is rid of this Globalist death grip!
With God's guidance I will always put "We The People" first and will NOT cave to political pressure, bribes or threats.
Our team will lead the charge against the globalist agenda. This is not just a movement; it is a rallying cry for patriots everywhere, a symbol of resistance against tyranny.
My passion is exposing and ending Child Trafficking which has been completely ignored by politicians and mainstream media as the most profitable industry in our great state.
I will use my skills learned in business (including troubleshooting for major corporations) to bring California back to the glory that it once was. I pride myself in having a history of making the impossible a reality.
In summary. If there is a problem, challenge or issue, I will find a solution! The word "can’t" doesn’t exist in my reality!
We The People hold the power and with your help, we will UNITE California as never seen before.
We will bring back (CALI) California As Liberty Intended.- Big Lie #1: Child Trafficking is not a big issue in California.
Human/child trafficking is known to be drastically under reported; as much as 95%. Which most likely makes it the TRUE #1 most profitable industry by a large margin in California.
Why is this fact virtually ignored by lawmakers, law enforcement, media and most of all the politicians running for Governor? Why? Because many are in on it!
We already have an anti-trafficking task force in place with proven processes, ideas and solutions to effectively combat this satanic epidemic.
Sexual abuse or trafficking of our children will have MASSIVE consequences to the perpetrators. Our children are everything and they will be protected! - Big Lie #2: Bid Med & Big Food Cares for us 80% of medical issues are caused by nutritional, environmental or behavioral issues. Why does the Medical Mafia continue to treat symptoms and not root causes? In place are proven and very successful solutions in treating diabetes, heart disease, anxiety, depression and Yes… Cancer! Our food is poisoned with chemicals, GMOs, anti-biotics and MRNA. Can you find a vegetable with proper minerals? Crops are rarely rotated, which eliminates the ability for nature to renew minerals & nutrients in the soil. We will Super MAHA California and drastically increase the quality of our food, and the health and vitality of Californians while reducing health and insurance costs by as much as 50%.
- Big Lie #3: Unity is impossible… Independents can’t win. We are bombarded with control and intentional division by bad actors. Democrats v Republicans, Red v Blue, with the main narrative being… “the two sides have nothing in common”. A Ven Diagram would show on California’s core issues; there is over 80% agreement. 80 plus percent! Why do the parasite controllers focus on the 20% that divides us? When they divide, they conquer! As an independent conservative I will prove that most of us can unify against the parasites controllers and thrive at a level never seen before. We can then work on the 20% that we disagree on calmly and with solution-based thinking. UNITY is the key to bringing back California As Liberty Intended.
• Human/Child Trafficking
• Bid Med & Big Food Cabal
• We The People are divided
• Election Fraud
• Corruption
• High Taxes and Cost of Living
• Education
• Seniors
• Veterans
• Wildfires and Environmental Challenges
• Utility Costs and Energy Reliability
• Technology and A.I.
• Crime and Law Enforcement
• Abortion
• Homelessness
• Housing Costs
We must operate with integrity and put personal, political and financial agendas to the side. In my opinion, with God's guidance only act for what is best for their constituency and their office.
In our case we MUST bring back California As Liberty Intended.
We should be the Golden example of prosperity, health and inspiration.
1971 Sylmar CA Earthquake at 5 years old. I remember ketchup, mustard and glass pickle bottles smashing on the floor in front of me while my Mom was screaming for me to stay in the doorway.
1981 Reagan got shot - I was walking between two buildings at my High School in La Verne CA when the announcement came over the PA system.
1986 Space Shuttle Challenger explodes - I was sitting at my desk in Northridge CA facing the wall while listening to the shuttle launch and was in shock when they announced it. I ran into the break room to see the tragic replay.
These were fantastic introductions to the workforce and helped me develop a strong work ethic and leadership skills.
