On Crippling Our Own Economic Engine While the Left Employs a Full-Time Army

Topic: Common Sense

Nefarious actors have successfully poisoned the minds of far too many grassroots patriots against their own kind, particularly in view of economics.  I feel confident the term “paytriot” stems from a psychological operation used to discredit actual patriots and keep them reliant on standard employment, thereby limiting their available hours to engage in the battlespaces of politics and culture. 

The left employs full-time activists in nearly every field, or “mountain”, impacting society and our modern-day discourse.  They have come to control academia, entertainment, sports, emergent churches, business, finance, and, worst of all, government, by committing full-time to imposing their tyrannical, filthy agendas wherever they can take root. 

When I first became known in election circles, I had absolutely no intention of ever billing a single dollar for my services.  I was moonlighting events as I travelled for my “real” job and doing a lot more interviews than I do today.  Then came the demand on my time, and then my unexpected termination in January 2022 from my technology sales job.  It came out of nowhere, and the company had expressed positive feedback for my performance just one week before they cut me loose.  My boss was supportive of my extracurricular work and even bragged about it to friends.  With that said, I was surprised to see him on the video call with the HR manager on that day I lost my six-figure job. 

I do free events and have four of them scheduled for July.  I also do paid events, and work out the amount charged beforehand with the event planner.  It has been extremely rare for someone to decline booking me because I am always willing to negotiate to make sure the events happen, because they are that important for the movement in that they get people buzzing about the only political issue we really have that matters now. 

I am sure I could get a job from some of my connections.  I am also confident that my days of using my MBA to cruise the LinkedIn career ladder are a relic of the past; therefore, with my current capacity substantially influencing the discussion surrounding election integrity, I believe it is important for me to invest full-time in this movement.  I am 37 years old, which is generally considered a prime age in someone’s earning cycle.  I do not ask for charity and always am sure to provide value for things involving someone else’s dollars (things for sale). 

Allow me to demonstrate the typical position and decision making process of a self-funded patriot activist.

Those using the terms “grifter” and “paytriot” generally do so from behind the cover of anonymous user handles, and do not reveal what it is they do for a living, or what they are doing to correct the issue they complain about most.  They espouse socialist viewpoints, perhaps unknowingly, while purporting to stand for a movement built on the economic engine of capitalism, which has rescued more people from poverty than any economic concept in human history. 

I will use a personal example from a recent trip.  I agreed to do the appearance, which involved several days’ worth of travel not in conjunction with another event, for $2,500.00.  It was an event of the “mom and pop” variety, not run by a large county party or patriot group, so I didn’t ask for $2,500.00 plus expenses, because it most likely would not have happened.  Everything came from that one sum, so it was up to me to make sure the travel bill was as skinny as possible, or I would make no money at all. 

Summer air was pricy, so I used points to get in and to get out of the region.  Rental cars were also monstrously expensive.  I used enough air miles to have bought myself a round trip ticket to Hawai’i in the fall in order to keep the cost down and wound up having to buy an extra night in a hotel on the final evening because my Southwest flight back home was pushed to such a late hour that I was unwilling to wait for it and make it back home at 2:30 a.m. 

Here were my approximate expenses: 

Rental Car $850 

Hotels x 3- $450 (partial point exchange to reduce price) 

Uber - $30 

Fuel - $120 

Food - $300 

Total - $1750 

Remainder - $750 

There you have it.  I made the trip and made $750, which is an amount that will be subject to taxation of more than 30 percent.  For those of you who think people are travelling around getting rich, it may be a valuable exercise to consider this sort of worksheet before you bash others.  Making $750 over four business days and leaving life behind for 15-20 days per month, comes out to less than $70,000.00 per year if you are charging for your appearances. 

When a speaker presenting a controversial topic does his duty, he takes a wall of hate from the mainstream media and local communist or RINO groups.  He shouldn’t be taking it from people who are presumably on his own side.  My particular beat has been slammed before I even arrive for an engagement, and I consider it an honor that they are so anxious about my appearance that they feel the need to preempt me (always unsuccessful) with propaganda.  Even with all of this considered, there are still people who expect speakers to take these slings and arrows out of the goodness of their own heart, as if they are a charity.  

Now you should know why self-funded patriots have paywalls for their intellectual property, and why they protect themselves and their financial futures to be compensated for their time.  If you want to defeat the left, you also need to consider how to defeat them in the field of economics.  Support patriot businesses, and refrain from judging others for their economic models, especially if you are consuming Netflix material or ordering from Amazon and other big business giants.
