I will GUIDE us as we LEARN - together - about how the Government and Law really works, in practical terms.
I will DISCUSS how we should challenge the status quo and Overton Window shifts we have witnessed exposed.
Come, join me - and our community - on this adventure!
Hello Community Members!
If you've noticed, I have not posted a video or Locals post in some time. Here's why:
As you may now be aware because of my "State of the Race" updates, there are several massive developments in the Towns of Templeton and Phillipston here in the Commonwealth.
Residents Catie McClure and Holly Helmer of Templeton, and James Buzzell and Stephanie Richardson of Phillipston made a last minute bid to run for the NRSD School Committee.
These parents are all homeschool parents, whose mission in joining the Committee is varied, but all have messages of budget transparency and public outreach. I have personally spoken to each, and believe they will work for the voters in our communities.
Ms. McClure and Mr. Buzzell are running unopposed on the ballot. Ms. Helmer is against Mr. Bill Cummings, and both are new residents; neither is an incumbent. Ms. Richardson is up against incumbent Mr. Jeffrey Marques.
The Narragansett Regional School District School Committee is composed of eight (8) duly elected members from the District at large. Five (5) members live in Templeton, and three (3) members live in Phillipston.
In a last minute bid, I am running for an open seat on the Templeton Board of Assessors.
Our family is also busy due to my father's run for re-election as Town Moderator.
I have decided to take my run for Assessor seriously, and am reading up on MA General Law on what my powers and duties on the Board would be if elected. The Templeton Board of Assessors is only a three person Board, and it would be one of the highest offices I've ever held, on top of it being the first government Board I will ever be a formal member of. It is a bit overwhelming, to be quite frank.
I have also decided that - if elected - I will pursue being an accredited Assessor. That is done through the State Association of Assessing Officers: https://maao.org/
Being an accredited Assessor requires being elected or hired as an Assessor for a period of time, taking various classes, and passing a comprehensive exam.
I will also - in the coming months - begin my journey to becoming a Professional Registered Parliamentarian (PRP). I will be studying for the membership exam over the next short few months, and then initiate the process for becoming a Registered Parliamentarian (RP). This is all done through the National Association of Parliamentarians: https://www.parliamentarians.org/
So... all-in-all, I may not post a lot in the coming weeks or months. I will be making my actions swift, calculated, and deliberate. I will post updates on here - in Locals - when I do decide to post a video or publish a piece.
Note: I will most likely be in attendance later this month or in early May for a candidate's panel in Templeton due to the upcoming elections. Our local television team - Templeton Community Television (TCTV) - has traditionally put one on so that the residents can meet the candidates on the ballot. You can find them here on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TCTVweb
Dates to Remember:
- Templeton Annual Town Meeting 2022: Wednesday, May 11, 2022, at 6:00pm in the Narragansett Regional Middle School Auditorium
- Templeton Annual Town Election 2022: Monday, May 16, 2022, from 11am - 7pm in the Narragansett Regional Middle School Gymnasium
Hello EVERYONE! Welcome to my community!
In this community, I will regularly post public updates on:
- The content I make on YouTube
- What the Government is doing/how it's doing it (mostly with Education, but other areas as well)
- Encouraging/Random Posts (because I can)
When I hit 100 members and can upgrade individuals to premium, I will start doing more exclusive content. The exclusive content I plan on doing is as follows:
- Unique Projects that I am working on (i.e. video game, new Wikipedia, new dictionary website, etc.)
- Posts Experimenting with Ways to Impact Culture
- Select Random Content (to be determined)
- Programming Lessons/Videos
- Latin Lessons/Videos
I hope you enjoy the content I have to provide as it is created and evolves. Please, enjoy your time in this community!

Hello Everyone!
It has been a "quick" minute since anything has happened. After a while of settling into work and finishing some stuff during the end of this year, I have time to dedicate to working on this community and adding new content.
Here are few things to keep watch for that will be Locals Exclusives moving forward:
- Grave American Podcast every Sunday (New Year's Resolution is to actually follow that plan moving forward).
- My adventures learning shorthand
- Latin Lessons
- Me finishing up projects (New Year's Resolution)
- FAIR, Inc. Updates
- Random materials
Nothing immediately upcoming will be made for paying members of this Community, but stay tuned for updates of what may happen on the horizon!
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and has a Happy New Year in 2022.
In this latest episode, I talk about my recent purchase of Cynical Theories by the legendary Helen Pluckrose & James Lindsay, along with my pre-order of Actively Unwoke by Karlyn Borysenko. Both will be used in a new, free Locals Exclusive video series titled "How Social Justice Is In Your Town: An Argument to Defund Public Schools," where I use the words and actions of local Massachusetts school districts to explain, in simple terms, how public schools cannot be saved from the cult of social justice (as they are already deeply infested), and how they should be held to account through 1) Leaving, and 2) the only thing Superintendent's understand: budget cuts, budget cuts, and Budget Cuts!!!
I also talk about the progress (or rather, lack of progress due to it being a waiting game) on my FOIL requests to the State of New York regarding Bion Bartning and FAIR, Inc.
Included is a discussion about how new projects I am involved in will be disclosed in the near future, and other stuff going...
Hello Everyone!
As I promised, I recorded another episode to compensate for my lack of consistency these past couple of weekends.
In this latest episode, I do a quick recap of the events happening with regards to FAIR, Inc. (although not a full debrief), and I go into a brainstorming session about my frustrations being a part of the anti-CRT and unwoke sphere, and what I believe we need to start thinking about in the coming days.
Special thanks to @wenmark413 for pointing out we do not have unwoke human resource platforms or talent searches. That needs to be discussed and we need a plan of action to fix that!
A very out of date (we're talking October 12th) posting of the Grave American Podcast (a Locals Exclusive).
In this, I hint at the concerns of whistleblowers in FAIR, and my concerns with ARP ESSER funds (that I later did a stream on with Karlyn about), and so much more.
I'm also going to record and post something later today as well, because I have totally been slacking on social media over the past week, and there are a few things we (as a Locals Community) need to discuss...
I am back in the saddle! New video out on my channel now!
In it, I cover recent public events, and review a single plank of a local political candidate's state-wide platform where I discuss the importance of:
- Identifying the correct problem to have a chance at creating a valid solution, and evaluating all obstacles to such a solution fully and appropriately.
- Knowing how the government works. Specifically, who/what appropriates money.
- Understanding how to negotiation like your life depends on it, and the critical importance of creating winning situations for your position.
Special shout out to WAM Stained Glass for the Crazy Bird & the Glass Wings Dragon!
Also to WokeScreen for my new pen bag.
