The Irrational Mind

Postmodernists, or those trained to see the world in blank symbols of nihilism (pointless meaning), often fall back on a handful of cliches to describe the world around them, such as Nazis, Racists, -Phobes, and Fascists. History started in 1939, and people refuse to believe anything useful had occurred before then.

The reason for this lack of history and the lack of meaning is they weren’t taught to read or examine what a person says. In their erudite, but pointless college courses, they’re poorly groomed and confused college professors pontificated on nothing and charged them thousands.

As young minds, budding postmodernists were taught to look they look in the gaps between words (lacunae) for the hidden meaning behind every action or word. It’s a worldview of anxiety, fear, and constant victimhood.

If I say something, do something, or behave in a certain manner, you can never take me at face value if you are postmodernist. My words mean nothing. You can never look me in the eyes. Instead, you are looking behind me to see what the postmodern spirit is telling you I actually mean to say.

Jacque Derrida, the father of Deconstructionism, a major branch in the wormwood tree of hell that is postmodern irrational thought, taught his students to look beyond the text for meaning in these gaps. This doddering old man, with his loosely fitting suit, walking around his private residence with disdain as if nothing mattered to him at all, was the high priest of dis-truth. (Deconstruction joke there, for those who know).

These gaps between words tell what the author really meant to say but was too afraid to say. These gaps tell us the real “truth,” as far as that goes with any postmodern philosopher when you try to nail them to a wall (they will fall apart like Jello as they wiggle around to avoid truth).

Truth isn’t hard to discover—people won’t admit to it even when it’s hanging off their face like a forty-pound wart.

Derrida gave his students an ouija board for the intellectual to look past words, deeds, and thought to create meaning out of your own mind and with the help of darker spirits that animate the world we can’t see.

Paranoia, Anxiety, Fear, Despair, and Accusations are all fed by this postmodern Ouija board. Allyson Tuckness’ display last Tuesday night was nothing short of this postmodern spirit of irrationality and anti-intellectualism on display.

This postmodern spirit embraces what Jordan Peterson would label as the Malthusian spirit inside all of us, but I don’t think he goes far enough. I think it is a full-hearted embrace of Lucifer himself. Her accusations were as if she was the planchette for a Demonic spirit to call out against Christian County.

She first tried to establish her authority in Libraries because, at one time, she read books. Then she attempted to paint the actions of concerned citizens as Nazis and intimidated they were genocidal.

Then, she made herself an identity victim alongside others of “bullying” while ignoring her actions to suppress free speech and journalism and using the police in Nixa to intimidate other board members and the public.

Last, she threatened to continue to go after those who criticize the library. Her actions and words demonstrate an irrational thought process. She demonstrates that she chooses to be tied to paranoia, fear, and anxiety.

Then she accuses. Her speech should have been titled “J’Accuse.” Last Tuesday night, she embodied the spirit of Postmodernism—the irrational mind.

Chris Barrett lists his X Bio @midwesthomo77 as such, “Problematic Homo. Tired of the right and the left. Gays need to stick together! They’ll both screw us! LGBTQIA+ @GAG_Missouri Chapter Leader (posts=my own).

Chris has been working with Gays Against Groomers (GAG) for approximately two years because of the issues he sees with the radicalization of his Gay community by the political machines left over with money but no good “causes.” These organizations include the Human Rights Council (HRC) and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD).

Jaimee Michell founded Gays Against Groomers (GAG) in 2022 as an X account (Twitter then). GAG has worked tirelessly alongside Moms for Liberty and other groups to stop the sexual exploitation of minors through books and other materials found in schools, libraries, and even hospitals.

Most of the sexually explicit material is packaged in Gay or Lesbian publishing media, which Chris feels damages his community’s values and his community’s name. It’s not published in Christian media aimed at teenagers.

Publishers have placed Sexually Exploitive Material in the LGBT community media because the Publishers knew they would be able to claim anyone who speaks against it is “phobic” or “bigoted.” It’s a smokescreen for the Publishers to make millions of dollars.

Chris doesn’t want to cause harm to any individual who is gay or trans—his goal is to stop the radical progressive work done by postmodern deconstructionists who fantasize about a world where they have replaced all values that don’t reflect their narrow (can we say Marxist?) and militant values.

While Chris and I have different values in some areas of our lives (he likes the Chiefs, and I barely know what football is)—our concern about protecting children from harm and a near radical and cult-like mentality allowed us to have an open dialogue.

Free Speech is about having open conversations with people you might disagree with so that you can move the needle toward greater sanity.

With the radical progressive movement, there is no option for a sane movement. It’s all progressive insanity—not to protect trans or gay kids. It’s to create revolutionaries to have their final and glorious revolution.

So when a Straight Christian and a Gay Jew walk into a Library on Tuesday in Nixa, MO, it’s not a joke. It’s a serious attempt at changing the world—one library at a time. Though, I’ll probably laugh a little. I am a satirist after all.

As Chris mentions at the end of the interview, please go to this link to donate, become a member of Gays Against Groomers, or work as an ally (non-gay member).

The night of the board meeting, September 24, 2024, after the special board meeting at 4:00 pm, I interviewed Ms. Hagen. She stated that the board was forced to take legal action against three board members because a community member was going to sue.

Here is my sunshine request.

I received a lot of documents today. I will be reviewing them and sharing them with you over the next couple of weeks.

Here is the community member she was referencing.

Scott Woosley is mentioned as a stakeholder for Nixa City in their Growth Plan.

He seems to be an “expert” in CCL bylaws, though he’s never mentioned in any of the emails I’ve seen related to the library from the Sunshine request.

His interpretation or his opinion about the by-laws isn’t binding for the library, nor does he have any authority in the matter. He’s like any other community member. He’s using “legal” terms, but that doesn’t make him a legal expert, per se.

Unless he is, but he has nearly zero social media presence. He doesn’t even have a LinkedIn page.

However, the Library lawyer, Harry Stryon, filed a lawsuit because of this email, according to Ms. Hagen, and used her as a plaintiff.

Now the question is, “Did Ms. Hagen lie to me in the interview about Mr. Woosley, or did someone lie to her about Mr. Woosley’s intentions?”

This man sounds like the Cigarette-Smoking Man in the X-Files of Nixa. What really happens behind closed doors in our county?

Wes Scroggins presents how Abortion is not banned in Missouri and that Missourians can still access abortion through either pills or going across state lines.

* This bill will not give access to abortion but will allow abortion up to 9 months (with no limits).

* This bill will allow anyone to give an abortion with a thin excuse as a medical practitioner.

* This bill will prevent anyone from suing someone for medical malpractice for abortion or transcare surgeries.

* This bill will allow minors to receive trans-mutilation surgeries and puberty-altering hormones.

* This bill will take away parent consent.

Thank you, Missouri Freedom Principle, for the Images!

While I appreciate Janis giving me a chance to interview her, the people who need to answer are the CCL Board’s Lawyer, Harry Styron, and the former President Allyson Tuckness.

Why did they use the excuse of a private citizen threatening to sue as an excuse for lawfare?

Who is this private citizen? Why is he so powerful, but unnamed? He can send comments to the board, but never attends a board meeting to make a public comment?

Is that the will of the public or the tyranny of one?

Even more to the point—why were the concerns of other private citizens of absolute no concern the past two years. Even as the Library violated Sunshine laws and complaints, why did Mr. Styron feel it necessary to sue the Board on behalf of private citizens I made complaints. I had zero interactions from him about violations when the Board was breaking the Subshine laws regarding documents submitted to them.

Who is this special citizen? What is his special relationship to the Board’s Lawyer the former President?

Update: I have added new images and video to this interview as the story unfolds. I will continue to do so as more information comes to light.

In this phone call, Ms. Dobbins calls a local chiropractor and asks if they do Energy Healing, but the office refers her to the Energy Healer, stating they go to church with her and practice Energy Healing.

When I spoke with the pastor of this church on 9/25/2024, he acknowledge she practiced Energy Healing and used Spirit Guides, but he dismissed the concerns that it was Wiccan or New Age, citing she was only confused. He stated he was concerned about the women in his church being upset about their friend being attacked. He did not seem concerned about the truth being told. He only seemed concerned about appearances.

Edit: I removed the name of the Energy Healer and the name of the person who recommended her to my source. It would be within my legal rights as a journalist to expose their fraud. It appears they intentionally violate HIPPA and use the information to intimidate and bully the source and her family. To reduce the intimidation and bullying, I removed the name. Not to protect the Energy Healer but to protect my source. There is a long tradition in exposing Mediums and frauds, from Houdini to the Amazing Randy.

When the church colludes with witches and energy healers, it reaches a new standard of debasement that is rarely seen outside of King Saul or the spirit of Jezebel.

In Maryville, one church with a progressive, social justice theology has members and leaders aligned with an energy healer embedded in another church. This woman is a prominent Republican, leads Bible Studies, and secretly practices the dark arts like a medium.

She consorts with familiars, dark spirits, so-called guardian angels, and other demonic beings to interfere with the Holy Spirit and create healing that mixes New Age with New Thought. In this video, Melissa Dougherty helps explain the difference between New Thought and New Age.

However, this Energy Healer seems to have mixed the two beliefs together to create a potent and demonic center of power in Maryville.

As Christians, we need to recognize that there are real spirits (inferior to God) who use their influence to suck in people to do acts of evil. Sometimes, they convince Christians (or people who think they are Christians) to commit these acts of spiritual evil.

I found this book in a Facebook group. It was God’s timing. The person seems to have marked up the book with lots of notes.

I have screenshots and texts that I am currently holding back. I will publish if needed if my source is threatened publically by the Energy Healer or by the person who sent her to the energy healer. If you make yourself public, I will assume you want me to share the documentation.

The Energy Healer spoken about in the Interview claimed to learn from Eden.

Here are some images from an Amazon review from a book by David Feinstein and Donna Eden. Look at the beliefs of Swami Giri about Christ living in India. This is where the Energy Healer learned her practices.

Here is the biblical text of what happens when Saul uses the Witch of Endor, a medium.

1 Samuel 28

New American Standard Bible

Saul and the Spirit Medium

28 Now it came about in those days that the Philistines gathered their armed camps for war, to fight against Israel. And Achish said to David, “Know for certain that you will go out with me in the camp, you and your men.” 2 David said to Achish, “Very well, you will learn what your servant can do.” So Achish said to David, “Then I will assuredly make you [a]my bodyguard for [b]life!”

3 Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had mourned him and buried him in Ramah, his own city. And Saul had removed the mediums and spiritists from the land. 4 So the Philistines assembled and came and camped in Shunem; and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they camped in Gilboa. 5 When Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, he was afraid and his heart trembled greatly. 6 So Saul inquired of the Lord, but the Lord did not answer him, either in dreams, or by the Urim, or by the prophets.7 Then Saul said to his servants, “Find for me a woman who is a medium, so that I may go to her and inquire of her.” And his servants said to him, “Behold, there is a woman who is a medium at En-dor.”

8 Then Saul disguised himself by putting on different clothes, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night; and he said, “Consult the spirit for me, please, and bring up for me the one whom I shall [c]name for you.” 9 But the woman said to him, “Behold, you know what Saul has done, that he has eliminated the mediums and spiritists from the land. Why are you then setting a trap for my life, to bring about my death?” 10 So Saul swore an oath to her by the Lord, saying, “As the Lord lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this thing.” 11 Then the woman said, “Whom shall I bring up for you?” And he said, “Bring up Samuel for me.” 12 When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, “Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul!” 13 But the king said to her, “Do not be afraid; but what do you see?” And the woman said to Saul, “I see a [d]divine being coming up from the earth.” 14 He said to her, “[e]How does he appear?” And she said, “An old man is coming up, and he is wrapped in a robe.” Then Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground and paid [f]homage.

15 And Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” Saul replied, “I am very distressed, for the Philistines are waging war against me, and God has abandoned me and no longer answers me, either through prophets or in dreams; therefore I have called you, so that you may let me know what I should do.” 16 Samuel said, “But why ask me, since the Lord has abandoned you and has become your enemy? 17 And the Lord has done [g]just as He spoke through me; for the Lord has torn the kingdom from your hand and given it to your neighbor, to David.18 Just as you did not [h]obey the Lord and did not execute His fierce wrath on Amalek, so the Lord has done this thing to you this day.19 Furthermore, the Lord will also hand Israel along with you over to the Philistines; so tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. Indeed, the Lord will hand the army of Israel over to the Philistines!”

20 Then Saul immediately fell full length to the ground and was very afraid because of Samuel’s words; there was no strength in him either, because he had eaten no [i]food all day and all night. 21 The woman came to Saul and saw that he was utterly horrified, and she said to him, “Behold, your servant has [j]obeyed you, and I have [k]taken my life in my hand and have listened to your words which you spoke to me. 22 So now you too, please listen to the voice of your servant, and let me serve you a piece of bread, and eat it, so that you will have strength when you go on your way.” 23 But he refused and said, “I will not eat.” However, his servants together with the woman urged him, and he listened to [l]them. So he got up from the ground and sat on the bed. 24 Now the woman had a fattened calf in the house, and she quickly slaughtered it; then she took flour, kneaded it and baked unleavened bread from it. 25 She then served it to Saul and his servants, and they ate. Then they got up and left that night.

Thanks for reading HickChristian! This post is public so feel free to share it.

We have lost control of the Republican Party at the Grassroots level and the MOGOP level.

Financiers like Axiom Strategies, Victory Enterprises, Steven Tilley, Rex Sinquefield, and many others have broken the state into parcels to further their political and business goals.

We saw it in the recent primary with Mike Kehoe. He never showed up for a Republican event or debate and still won the primary by a large margin. Groups like the financiers bankrolled his election and campaign ads so that when he’s governor, he will pay them back with dividends on bills and legislation signed, which will hurt the Missouri voter.

In speaking with Shaun Horner, I learned some hard truths about the Republican Party. I suspected some things about Axiom and the other financiers, but he confirmed many.

He also shared something quite troubling for the future of the Republican party and the Grassroots. We are fighting the wrong battle, my Grassroots friends. Or at least we are fighting several steps behind the MOGOP and its financiers.

The Missouri GOP is outmaneuvering us with election tampering through open primaries, among other issues that looked like they allowed illegals to vote and maybe even the dead in different parts of the state.

Here is an example of Nodaway County having a 30% turnout. 35% turn out in Atchison, where Sam Graves lives. Nearly 40% turn out in Gentry. Either these are the most Republican people in the state, or something is terribly wrong.

They are also outmaneuvering us with vetting, but the Financers have no plans for accountability to values or the Constitution. You have to hear it from Shaun. What is happening in Maryville will shake the foundations of the Republican Party across the state.

I drove up to Maryville to interview a woman who had been part of the Nodaway County Federation of Republican Women (FRW). She had been accused and attacked during her time as the President.

* For being an outsider (a common theme in Missouri politics)

* Falsely accused of whiting out the financial ledger (not in her possession)

* She had a coup staged against her while she was receiving a reward

* She witnessed Family Politics working to get Jeff Farnan (by all accounts, an incompetent boob elected)

* Ignoring much more competent Officials running for Office because they aren’t Family

* Violations of Bylaws for the FRW. The FRW is supposed to remain neutral until after the primaries.

Maryville politicos are sending their worst candidate to Jefferson City. Listen to the interview. You’ll discover that Jeff Farnan bungles everything he says.

In ousting the woman I interviewed, the FRW made it clear they didn’t want a fair election; they wanted a coronation.

The FRW wanted someone they could control. Instead, Farnan has become someone the lobbyists and financiers control.

He might as well be a Democrat. When we send baby-face, spineless, and mindless representatives like Farnan to Jeff City, we are cutting our throats as voters.

The FRW’s connections with the Media even allowed them to put Farnan at the front of the Voter Guide in the local paper and bury the most constitutional candidate.

They even made it appear like Farnan was Pro-Choice on the limited copy they provided Horner.

This is more proof that my source is telling the truth about her story.

The Problem with the Rhincoceros in the Room

To save the Republican Party, many local grassroots members in the Central Committees attempted to introduce qualifications for elected officials at the county level (state, also, but that was stopped to disastrous effects).

Yet, the Republican Party didn’t want to be saved from the RINOs or its Financiers. It wanted the money, the power, and the glamour. It fought back at many different levels—in many different ways.

From the actions at the MO State Convention on May 4th, which cumulated in fist bumps and Towgate to the attempted stolen delegates at the RNC, the MOGOP acts more like a Banana Republican Junta than they do a party of people aiming toward constitutional conservative, or Christ-like values.

They act more like the Shah of Iran than they do Abraham Lincoln, who freed the slaves and kept a nation together based on principles of liberty and freedom.

Cyndia Haggard, Chair of the Vernon County Republican Central Committee, and Linda Rantz, Cause of America (Missouri and National), came on tonight to discuss these issues with Gretchen Garrity (Right to Win Ozarks) and me.

Gretchen Garrity is a former journalist who has written boldly for years. She is a brave Christian conservative, but she’s most proud of being a grandmother.

David Rice writes about three issues in this order: Christ, the Constitution, and Conservative issues. He is a father and husband and has been redeemed at a cost he could not pay.

"It’s hard to imagine that what we’re witnessing is an organized technological, religious cult with eugenicist underpinnings. The single most important contribution to Hilter being able to continue his holocaust against the Jews in Nazi Germany, is that people could not, would not, allow themselves to believe it was happening. It was too terrifying." from Jennifer Bilek.

If Amendment 3 passes on November 6th, it will essentially turn Christians, Parents, and other Faith Groups into outlaws in Missouri. If we, or you, oppose or stand in the way of a child’s “reproductive freedom” to transition to another sex or if we oppose a child being aborted at any stage of development, we will be criminalized for violating their constitutional right.

Amendment 3 is a Lie (Vote No)

Amendment 3 is a smokescreen for the implementation of the transgender agenda on Missouri’s children and could threaten parental rights. 

• Amendment 3 would repeal the SAFE ACT passed in 2023. According to the Liberty Counsel’s Statement of Leaders Opposing Missouri’s So-Called “Right to Reproductive Freedom Initiative,” states “While the text cleverly focuses on pregnancy and abortion, the creation of a broad right to“reproductive health care” expanded with the “but not limited to” text enables an interpretation that“reproductive health care” includes the right of a person to modify, eliminate or change their reproductive system. Moreover, since the language does not specifically protect the parent-child relationship, the left will continue to argue that the state must counsel, enable, and facilitate children to surgically, hormonally, or otherwise irreversibly mutilate themselves, against parental consent, under the guise of reproductive health and so-called “gender-affirming care.”

• Amendment 3 could repeal the Missouri Save Women’s Sports Act. According to Section 6, “The Government shall not discriminate against persons providing or obtaining reproductive health care or assisting another person in doing so.” According to the Liberty Counsel, “This so-called “anti-discrimination” provision could be applied to allow biological males “obtaining reproductive health care” a legal right to demand access to girls’ and women’s activities and spaces.”

• Amendment 3 could give the state the authority to remove children from parents who object to their children receiving “gender-affirming” surgeries and/or medical treatment. According to the Liberty Counsel, Section 6 could create “A state-sponsored “right” that can be used by bureaucrats to mislead and kidnap children to irreversibly mutilate and forcibly sterilize their reproductive systems against parental consent.”

Amendment 3 Attack on Unborn Children and Women’s Health

• Section 2 would repeal Missouri State Statute 188.026, Missouri Stands for the Unborn Act, “Missouri Heartbeat Law,” and allow full-term and partial-birth abortion up to the moment of birth. 

• Section 4 would allow abortions for physical or mental health reasons for all nine months. 

• Section 5 would eliminate abortions that are required to be conducted by licensed physicians. This would allow unlicensed “Medical” professionals to perform an abortion in an unlicensed medical facility. 

Amendment 3 Attack on Parental Rights and Taxpayers

• Section 3 would eliminate parental consent of minors from receiving an abortion. “Any denial, interference, delay, or restriction of the right to reproductive freedom shall be presumed invalid.”

• Section 3 would repeal HB 2634 and force taxpayers to fund abortions; HB 2634 was sponsored by Representative Cody Smith and passed in the 2024 legislative session. HB 2634 Section 188.207 states, “It shall be unlawful for any public funds to be expended to any abortion facility or any affiliate of such abortion facility.”

Pietism Definition from Defy Tyrants website.

“Now Pietism – which teaches that Christianity should be a purely private matter and that God’s law has no place in the governance of nations – always tells us that we are wasting our time when it comes to being involved in seeing that good laws are established in our nation. They mock it as mere ‘moralizing.’ They say we should just be involved in trying to save men’s souls – we should just preach the gospel. But what Pietism fails to understand is that good law – that which mirrors the law and justice of God – helps men see where they are wrong, where they have sinned against God, where they do need to repent.”

“Ask yourself this: Why did MRL endorse Jay Ashcroft for Governor approximately a year ago BEFORE the race for Governor even heated up when he has NEVER taken ANY vote for the LIFE issue? He does not have a proven record. He has nothing for voters to see. So, how does MRL know how Ashcroft will vote when pressed when he has never taken a vote unlike Senator Bill Eigel who has 8 full years of votes that are on record? Mike Kehoe has a full slate of documented votes from when he was a sitting senator for the life issue that are less than impressive. Kehoe’s position on abortion is weak, unlike Eigel’s based on live debates we have watched for 8 years and all of the votes he has taken.”

What are the Churches doing?

Sadly, in my research, not enough details were provided. The Missouri Baptist Convention and the Springfield-Cape Girardeau Catholic Diocese provided the most details. Yet, many churches are worried that they will lose members if they preach this from the pulpit or lectern.

Can they afford to lose members in a climate of scarce money? Many pastors, priests, elders, and deacons are asking the wrong question.

In a culture that is turning against children and moving openly and gleefully toward child sacrifice, can they stay silent and not fear the judgment of God?
