Welcome to the GAB

My Journey

I began working on the Great American bridge the day after returning from vacation with my parents. During the trip, Charlie Kirk was assassinated. The news I saw was about:

1. How sad it was that this American citizen was assassinated.
2. Remembering the best of Charlie.
3. Showcasing his commitment to free speech and public debate.

But the news my parents saw led them to believe that Charlie had said some dangerous things. What specifically, they could not say.

While I would not call myself an expert on Charlie Kirk, I had seen enough to not call him ‘dangerous’. I had watched enough X and Insta Reels to know Charlie by name and face, and I had accumulated about 2-4 hours of watch time in long-form debates.

I know more than some and less than other, but nothing I saw was cause for him being shot. Furthermore, it struck me that the day after a US citizen is murdered while engaging in free speech, the media’s message to my parents was that this was a dangerous person. It’s not exactly justifying it, but it is a small step from it or something like it.

My Starting Point

Shortly following, some people’s reaction went from suggesting he brought it on himself, to mocking, cheering, and celebrating. The rhetoric that celebrates the death of someone you disagree with is dangerous. But who was Charlie Kirk? Was he as dangerous as my parents were lead to believe?

Nine days after Charlie’s death, AOC went on the attack when asked to support a resolution in Charlie’s honor. AOC called Charlie out on four points, the first was his calling the Civil Rights Act a mistake. To AOC, to say that the Civil Rights Act was a mistake, is the mistake. Debate is not open for this topic, to say otherwise is to be a racist. Whether AOC characterized Charlie’s stance on the Civil Rights Act correctly or not, I will need to know more. But it is not wrong to question. It is not wrong to discuss. And that is what Charlies was all about.

With the passionate words of AOC, she has yet to support her heavy claims. We live in an age where it is easy to call someone Hitler or fascist, and we don’t have a culture of taking responsibility for their claims. My perspective is, if it’s true, it’s true. If it’s not, it’s not. And while I will never be 100% certain, I can get to a 99% if I need to, and that is enough to make a judgement call and move on with my life.

My Direction & Focus

I really want to know what I think, believe, and understand. And I want to be able to explain, expand, and challenge those things, as well as articulate them well to myself and others. What do I think about Charlie Kirk’s assassination? What do I think about the response? How do I respond when my family is worried about Christian Nationals, what do I think about Marxism, how do I discuss it?

Many people make many claims quite easily and freely. I am the kind of person who will hear what a person has to say, and understand that it is still my choice what to do. If what the person says makes sense, I will accept it. If I don’t, I won’t.

When it comes to looking into Christian Nationals and Marxist-Driven Parties, I want to actually know what they are about. I want to know the legacy, I want to understand the direction, current state, and leading voices. And I want to know what they actually think, believe, and do. Then, and most importantly, I want to master that understanding to the degree I need to articulate it sufficiently to myself and others.

Additionally, there is an elephant in the room that has virtually gone unheard of. It is actually the most significant contributor to the division and destruction in the world today. The Chinese Communist Party has been a silent hand that has been hard to see. It has played a very specific role, making its way through lies, deception, and evil of all kinds and all lands. This may sound heavy-handed or dramatic, but in reality, size-wise, the certain condemnation above is the size of just one grain of sand among all beaches in the entire world. This comparison still does not balance the scales.

My Scientific Process

Now, above, I have also, like AOC, made some claims. I will bear the burden of investigating, clarifying, and substantiating these claims. Specifically, I have called out AOC’s logic when she voiced why she would vote yes to honor Charlie Kirk. I have taken Charlie’s side to say that his words were not dangerous. And I have essentially called the CCP the single greatest evil in the world.

My analysis will rely primarily on source material, as well as factually produced content. I remain open to input and challenge on any idea on my site, willing to change as needed. The only caveat to that is that you cannot be a CCP Member and make a suggestion. Suggestions and challenges from CCP members and its affiliated organizations are permanently disqualified from participation in my creative process.

I believe in correction over time, becoming more and more correct. My process allows ideas to be captured, grow, weeded, stored, drilled into, and refined. If I all I achieve is that we can agree on the starting point of an argument, that would be a huge win. If nothing else, we should be able to agree about that.

The final method behind sanity is being consistent, precise, traceable, reportable, systematic, and correctable all while taking the long-view. A project like this is large in scope, step by step is the way.
