'The Nonviolence SolutiON'...
IN HONOR OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR...
*TODAY* I PRESENT TO YOU...
'STRATEGIC EQUALITY'...
THE NONVIOLENCE SOLUTION TO...
'THE TRIPLE EVILS OF RACISM, WAR & POVERTY'.
Imagine with me if you will... what The World would look like today, if America's Declaration of Independence was written just a little different.
And instead of claiming "that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights", America's Founders proclaimed this...
"that all PEOPLE are created equal in every nation state on earth, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights".
...and what ...IF... over the next 248 years The People of THE WORLD went to war over and over and over again until that beautiful dream came true?
Obviously, we can't go back and make that change... but we can and we MUST begin again... with the idea that "all PEOPLE are created equal in every nation state on earth"...
TODAY.
...and what... IF... over the next however many years it may take...
The People of The World unite now and go to... NONVIOLENCE WAR...
over and over and over again until that beautiful dream comes true in EVERY nation state on Earth and every Authoritarian Regime on the planet just disappears?
THAT... IS... STRATEGIC EQUALITY.
And Strategic Equality is how we unite The World today, to finally fix what America's Founders got wrong on... July 4th 1776.
In other words...
My new venture... FREICE MEDIA... IS... HOW... THE PEOPLE... fight & win a new, nuclear war of ideas with every Authoritarian Regime on The Planet...
By making it Crystal Clear...
America's Revolutionary War isn't over.
NOT YET!
***THE CURE FOR TRUMP & TRUMPISM***
I'm a Social Entrepreneur and in 2015…
I recognized that Donald Trump and ‘Trumpism’ were an existential threat to my life’s work, and I recognized that Trump had a fatal flaw.
So, I decided then to quietly create the 388 'magic' tweets that would turn Trump into The Laughing Stock of The World… and then one day (today)... sit back and watch Trump’s fatal flaw do what no politician could ever do…
destroy Trump from the inside out...
and finally do to Trump what he has been doing to America since 2015.
To see the 28 highlighted tweets that will make it impossible for Trump to become America's next president click on the 'highlighted' section of my Twitter page or just click here:
https://twitter.com/FreiceMedia/highlights
In other words, creating the cure for Trumpism was just the simple task of proving to The World that Donald Trump is a ‘tiny’ fraud of a man.
And let's face it, in 2024 that was really simple to do.
AMERICA... I have discovered Trump's...
'Crazy Buttons'.
Together, we will push on Trump's Crazy Buttons over and over and over again until his head explodes.
***THE 7 DAY TRUMP SOLUTION***
Trump Once Lived By The Tweet…
Now… with 388 ‘magic’ tweets together we will render Donald Trump forever…
IMPOTENT…
in only 7 days.
AMERICA…Trump has always been a political problem that needed to be vanquished on… The Battlefield Of Ideas.
So, right here. Right now. Today. I give to The World the ideas that will immediately take Trump’s political power away.
LET ME EXPLAIN…
Trump has a “Fatal Flaw”… and many of these tweets are intended ONLY for an audience of one...
Keep this in mind every time you see the picture of Trump and how he turned himself into a FREAK when he took all the hair from the back of his head and put it on top to pretend he didn’t go bald.
And keep his Fatal Flaw in mind every time you see the picture of Trump’s father Fred (wearing a terrible hairpiece) next to his son the FREAK.
Also, Trump would have no political power in America without the support of Evangelical Christians.
With the #EndTimesMetaphor… I have taken Trump’s base away by rebranding him…
"President Wormwood".
We all know the only possible way someone like Joe Biden became America’s president is because he ran against Trump.
And we also know in 4 years Trump never built his wall and never tried to ‘drain the swamp’.
So, today I give to you.... Freice Media... AND...
this MASSIVE strategic plan to... 'Drain The ENTIRE Swamp'... in Washington D.C. with Donald Trump and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in it.
GOOD: "ON THE SCALE OF 9.11"...
It's not a matter of remembering 9.11 and the victims of 9.11...
WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER.
The question is how do 'We' take one of the most painful chapters of The American Experience and finally become better for having had the experience.
Obviously, all of America would have prevented the attack if we could...
but it's too late for that.
For US it becomes how we respond to 9.11 and what good becomes of America because of our actions and reactions.
So far, we aren't looking so good are we?
America is at War with Herself and Our Leaders have exposed their intent to keep US that Way.
We have had very painful chapters before and almost always grown stronger from them but not this one, not yet anyway.
But today is a new day for America.
I'm thinking about the lives lost then and about the lives lost now and how things go bad and about how things go right and that Good is the exact opposite of Evil.
That would be a Good place for America to Start Over...
DOING THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF EVIL...
"on the scale of 9.11".
MY NEW VENTURE…
Freice Media... IS...
1. HOW we unite 300 million Americans to... FIX POST 9.11 AMERICA... with a business.
2. The Nonviolence Solution to Vladimir Putin.
3. How we prevent China from invading Taiwan.
4. How we end The Mass Shootings Crisis.
5. How we 'Drain The ENTIRE Swamp' in Washington D.C. with Donald Trump & Joe Biden in it.
6. How we finally end The Endless-War.
7. How we Save The American Dream.
8. How we #DefundThePoliticians.
9. And perhaps most importantly... HOW... we unite 300 million Americans to harness all of the negative energy from The Trump Shooting to build an America we can ALL be proud of.
***Solving The Puzzle of American Racism***
It's time for US to see... that Racism in America is a ten-thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle that needs to be solved...
one piece at a time.
Why?
Because it's finally time to...
END RACISM IN AMERICA.
Let’s begin here…
American Racism Puzzle’ Corner Piece...
#1 The Declaration of Independence
#2 The Lincoln Assassination
#3 The Dr. King Assassination
#4 STRATEGIC EQUALITY
***THE NONVIOLENCE NUKE***
On the day after 9.11…
I took a leap of faith and began crafting The Nonviolence Solution to Terrorism.
What I discovered right away was the idea that there was no military solution to terrorism and that the only REAL way to stop terrorism was to replace it with better ideas.
I just spent the last 23 years creating the ideas that would replace all forms of political extremism, and I have loaded them all onto Social Media.
What is happening to Israel and to Ukraine too…
Well, all of it comes out of the failures of America’s 23-year Endless War.
Right now, Israel and Ukraine are shouldering the consequences of endless war and neither one can handle the weight.
So, my new venture Freice Media will shift the entire burden to America.
Because America is plenty strong enough to handle it.
After October 7th 2023…
I began calling my venture…
The Nonviolence Nuke.
It’s explosive. It had to be. Half measures will do no good given the magnitude of the threat.
This webpage is essentially my Executive Summary.
***THE NEW WAR OF IDEAS***
America, our problems with...
MASS SHOOTINGS...
RUSSIAN VIOLENCE & TERRORISM ON UKRAINIAN STREETS... Dysfunctional Government... and Income Inequality and Hate and Opioids AND Iran, Israel, Hamas, China and Afghanistan and 'Trumpism'... and... 'The Great Dementia Cover-up' are far too complex and emotionally charged ...
for any... straight-line solution.
But... ALL... of these problems and more come from the exact same place---
America's failure to fight and win The War of Ideas that began on September 11th 2001.
Today, we endeavor to finally fight and win...
The New War of Ideas.
***FREICE MEDIA***
Since 9.11...
America's politicians have kept US at war across The Globe ***and*** with each other so they could have their precious Power, Profit & Privilege.
My new venture called Freice Media
IS… how we unite 300 million Americans to solve THIS problem...
by finally holding ALL of America’s politicians accountable for what they have done to ALL of US in post 9.11 America.
I've built a true 'bottom-up' nonviolence, solution to this perilous moment and loaded it on to Social Media, so that together WE may finally harness this explosion of negative energy in a way that creates astonishing global change.
Today... we launch...
OPERATION:
'AMERICAN REGIME CHANGE'.
***TRUTH ON TRIAL***
This is America’s 388 tweet Strategic Plan…
TO SAVE OUR REPUBLIC & DEMOCRACY.
Today we put ‘Truth on Trial’… so decent Americans can ensure neither Trump or Harris become America’s next president.
Here’s why nothing is more important:
After The Supreme Court ruling on Presidential Immunity no person with Trump’s acute narcissism, darkness and mental decline should ever be allowed to become president. He’s too great a threat to The American Union. PERIOD.
And Harris, while not as obvious a threat to Our Republic and Democracy as Trump…
is a tremendous threat...
and once you see what I see…
I promise you...
you will never be able to unsee it.
It’s called…
“The Great Dementia Cover-up”.
President Biden’s inner circle conspired to keep The American People from learning the extent of Biden’s mental decline by preventing media interviews…
all while Putin threatened The World with nuclear weapons.
The point is simple…
IF… Biden’s decline is so pronounced he is unable to be interviewed by The Media then he is obviously unable to sit across the table from Putin and negotiate an alternative to Nuclear World War III.
As the war raged in Ukraine and threatened the whole of Europe and beyond… a Biden/Putin summit could not happen… because Biden’s inner circle wouldn’t allow it to happen.
The option of a Putin summit was never on the table.
So, here we are and the head of The Cabal that orchestrated The Great Dementia Cover-up…
is Kamala Harris.
And she can’t tell The Truth about any of her policy flip-flops other than to say…
'My values are in the same place'.
Which is the same as saying ‘I will tell whatever lies need to be told to defeat Trump’.
And this entire mess with Harris could have been avoided if The Democratic Party created any type of democratic debate before their convention and party nomination.
Instead, Biden’s inner circle and cabal called the shots again…
TO PROTECT BIDEN’S LEGACY.
None of this is OK. It’s not.
We need to knock Trump out of the race. So, he can be replaced by a Republican who can actually beat Harris.
Fortunately, the same acute narcissism, darkness and mental decline that threatens to destroy America as we know it...
is also Trump’s fatal flaw.
When these 28 tweets go viral so will Trump’s fatal flaw and Trump will destroy himself from the inside out:
https://twitter.com/FreiceMedia/highlights
When Trump’s fatal flaw goes viral Trump will pull a Biden and withdraw from the race allowing decent Americans to replace Trump with Georgia Governor Kemp.
I know. I know. I promised you America’s 388 tweet Strategic Plan…
TO SAVE OUR REPUBLIC & DEMOCRACY.
Here it is: https://twitter.com/FreiceMedia
***Biden Worldwide NO Confidence Vote***
Since 9.11 only one American politician has been in REAL power the entire time...
it’s Joe Biden.
Biden is...
‘The Face of Endless War’.
Like & Re-tweet…
AND VOTE…
Biden No Confidence!
For 23 years America has waged war across The Globe.
The minute WE take to the streets and DEMAND the end of The Endless-war and begin nonviolence regime change here in America…
The World will see America is no longer The Face of Endless-War…
AND…
The World will follow our lead and nonviolence regime change will begin in Russia, China and Iran and ALL the other places on Earth where Real Change is desperately needed too.
LIVE ON TWITTER:
***The Mass Shootings Cure***
Human minds, especially damaged minds… are unable to process so much darkness, division, hate and war.
So, people ‘break’. Often badly. People lose hope. And when they lose hope… they become vulnerable to bad people and bad ideas.
And bad people and bad ideas are everywhere right now.
And so are bad parents and bullies and assholes and drugs and guns.
And so are politicians who intentionally bring out the worst in everyone for power, profit and privilege by keeping US at endless war around The World and with each other.
And our technology amplifies and deepens darkness, division, hate and war at a velocity unlike anything the human mind has ever known.
MY FELLOW AMERICANS... by now we all have a pretty good idea how much damage can be done when bad people pump dark, ugly ideas into Social Media.
But what we don’t know yet is what happens when good people pump good ideas into Social Media and when good people unite and won’t relent until we all wake up one day and this nonsense is FINALLY behind US.
The hard part is someone had to create the ideas that reflect Our American Values so good people can rally around those ideas and bring this mass shootings nonsense to an end.
I’ve created those ideas over a period of almost 23 years.
And I just loaded all of these ideas onto Social Media because it’s long past time to unite America to end The Mass Shooting Crisis.
BECAUSE... WE... all know 2024 America is loaded with families just like Colt Gray and his dark, ugly parents.
This webpage is an Executive Summary for a new venture that... IS…
THE MASS SHOOTINGS CURE.
***THE REAL HARRIS CHALLENGE***
@KamalaHarris… when Barack Obama chose Biden as his VP, he was balancing out his ticket.
Biden did the same with you.
Anyone who calls you a ‘DEI Candidate’ is a racist.
It’s true, Biden had been around so long it was plausible at least, he could in an emergency step into The Presidency and that wasn’t really true with you.
But it wasn’t true with Dan Quayle either.
Did Biden have enough ‘left in the tank’ to defeat Trump?
In 2020 Democratic Power Brokers decided he did, and they shut-down The Democratic Presidential Primary to rally everyone around Biden.
That’s one of the biggest problems with Trump. All Democrats want to do is beat Trump.
NO MATTER WHAT THE PRICE.
Thank God… it turned out Biden just barely had enough to defeat Trump in 2020.
Unfortunately, he didn’t have nearly enough left to sit across the table from Vladimir Putin and come-up with another solution to The War in Ukraine...
that didn’t result in Ukrainian troops using American weapons to invade and take possession of Russian sovereign territory.
Recently Biden said:
“I don’t have anything to say to Putin”.
We are on The Cusp of Nuclear World War III and America’s president doesn’t have anything to say to Putin.
I believe it’s because The President of The United States suffers from Dementia and is without the mental capacity to sit across the table from Putin and present American alternatives to nuclear war.
And that’s why I have such a problem with you becoming America’s next president.
YOU… were a part of a MASSIVE conspiracy to hide Biden’s Dementia from The American People…
in order to defeat Trump one final time.
I know. I know. Tens and tens and tens of millions of Americans are going to be very mad at me for saying The Truth out loud.
So let me stop everyone right now.
Trump is done. He is about to ‘pull a Biden’ and drop out of The 2024 Race too.
When he sees these EPIC 28 tweets he will self-destruct for good:
https://twitter.com/FreiceMedia/highlights
Once Trump is gone, America will finally see that you aren’t the solution to anything America needs most right now.
With of course, one giant exception…
You… absolutely were The Solution to Joe Biden.
Why Now?
Why am I coming forward now to hold you to account for your role in…
“The Great Dementia Cover-up”?
Because this thing with Biden was and still is a threat to American Democracy too.
And The American People deserve answers and accountability from you.
Really. Look at all the diplomatic effort and attention given to prevent full-scale war from breaking out between Israel and Iran.
The difference between this diplomatic effort and the lack of any in Russia?
With Russia...
Biden would have to deal directly with Putin...
and he can't.
All he has the ability to do is approve more money and weapons.
@POTUS...
THIS...
IS A BIG FUCKING DEAL.

'The Re-Branding of America'...
The premise is simple... America can no longer be 'fixed' with an election. And this has been true for a very, very long time. Because this has been true for so long... THE ONLY WAY... to really begin to fix all of the complex problems that are tearing US apart and enabling the destruction of America, is by...
'THE REBRANDING OF AMERICA'.
On The Day After 9.11... I dove into my creative imagination to create The Nonviolence Solution to Terrorism---
What I found was an AMAZING narrative and evolving storyline that is truly powerful enough to "Rebrand America" and change...
ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING!
IT'S TRUE. When America failed to respond to 9.11... by fighting and most importantly WINNING the war of ideas that began on September 11th 2001...
we lost control of the narrative and unleashed a vicious wave of darkness, division, hate & war… and super empowered the men and women in America who... LOVE... DARKNESS, DIVISION, HATE & WAR.
AND... THOSE WHO LOVE... DARKNESS, DIVISION, HATE & WAR--- used their newfound power to bully those of US without any power... and attempted to... DESTROY THE AMERICAN FAMILY... and our common sense of decency... and our basic system of political compromise... and any true sense of a uniting common good.
AND... THOSE WHO LOVE... DARKNESS, DIVISION, HATE & WAR--- still keep ripping US to shreds... even knowing now, that this vicious wave of darkness, division, hate & war... IS... directly responsible for America's mass killings epidemic and the deaths of countless Americans who are literally unable to survive in a world filled with so much darkness, division, hate & war.
AND... THOSE WHO LOVE... DARKNESS, DIVISION, HATE & WAR---
Well, they also went to war against the basic foundation of America... by trying to destroy our belief in... THE AMERICAN DREAM. Because 'they' knew... it's The Idea of The American Dream that holds this nation comprised of ALL races, religions and nationalities together.
IT'S TRUE. Without OUR fundamental belief in The American Dream... America will come apart at the seams. And look around... we are.
YES. All of America's most difficult post 9.11 problems... come from THE BELIEF that America is no longer the place where dreams come true.
...and maybe it never was.
As that UGLY idea began to rise in America... so did more & more mass shootings... and The Opioid Crisis exploded... and huge numbers of American citizens committed Suicide... and when the belief that 'America is no longer the place where dreams come true' reached troubling new heights... along came The Rise of Donald Trump... and Bernie Sanders & Elizabeth Warren.
BUT THAT IS ALL ABOUT TO CHANGE IN 2024 AND BEYOND.
WHY? BECAUSE... AMERICA... IS... STILL... THE PLACE WHERE DREAMS COME TRUE!
AND I CAN FINALLY PROVE IT.
'The Fisherman's Creed'...
In America The Color Of Your Skin Does NOT Matter... OR... What Family You Were Born In... OR... The Nature Of Your Religion... OR... Your National Origin... OR... Your Sex... OR... Your Sexual Orientation.
In America we don't herd sheep and we don't just fight for the weak... we teach and teach and teach until the weak grow strong enough to take the lead...
AND... make their dreams come true.
In America...
People Make Mistakes.
And We Learn From Our Mistakes And Then We Make America A Better Place To Live For Everyone...
BECAUSE... OF...
The Mistakes That We Make.
In America... We Respect Those Who Overcome Mistakes.
In America... We Cheer for The Underdog.
In America... We Believe In Right And Wrong.
In America... Dreams Still Come True.
In America... Greed Is NOT Good.
THIS IS... 'The Fisherman's Creed'.
AND... The NEW American Dream.
If you agree with The Fisherman's Creed and are willing to fight for your beliefs, then that makes you... A. Dreamer... too.
If you disagree with The Fisherman's Creed and believe that what matters most in America is where you come from or the color of your skin or that your last name is Kennedy, Bush or Trump or Clinton... OR... if you are the type of person who always puts "ME FIRST"... then you are an ELITIST and NOT on the right side of history.
AND YOU ARE NOT ON MY TEAM.
In 1776 The Declaration of Independence gave to The World a magic glimpse of a new world that was...
WORTH FIGHTING FOR.
In 2024...
The Fisherman's Creed will do the same.
My new venture called...
'FREICE MEDIA'...
IS... where and how we begin to build a new world AGAIN that makes...
ALL OUR ANCESTORS PROUD.
***THE END TIMES METAPHOR***
I began writing W.A.Y. and The End Times Metaphor on the day after 9.11 and completed it today, September 13th 2024.
It’s an Inspired ‘out of this world’ tale about how…

just in time to save The Planet from a disastrous fate.

***THE POWER OF INSPIRATION***
I went fishing the day after September 11th to get away from the TV, so I could clear my head and try to make sense of the darkness heading Our Way.
I was a month away from my 35th birthday and for the first time since high school I considered joining The Military.
America was going to War and I thought about all the death and destruction and about those who would sacrifice to keep US safe.
Standing on The Rocks I could see my reflection in the water and I didn't like what 9/11 had forced me to see.
As a young man I "wanted the ball" and all the responsibility that came with it. As an adult, I willingly let others carry the ball and the burden so I could have my fun in the Cape Cod sun.
As fate would have it, I celebrated July 4th 2000 by leaving a "job" to pursue an American Dream. But on 9/12 it seemed more likely than not, that my Dream was over. My business was already on shaky ground and I was losing faith.
It was clear My American Dream was about to fall to the terrorists.
So, I decided my personal response to 9/11 would be a 'First Promise to God' to see my American Dream through to the end... no matter what the cost.
IT'S TRUE. On September 1, 2001... my struggling business went online with a first of a kind Behavioral Health Program for college students. Having learned many lessons from the dot-com bubble, the business model included a subscription fee paid by colleges.
Trying hard not to rush into things, the previous 6 months were spent convincing eleven colleges to test the idea.
But "my plan" didn't include 9/11.
Imagine for a moment being a young entrepreneur, having burned through all your savings and original investments just to get to the day that "the test" could begin... and to be in possession of a one of a kind product (sparse as it was at the time) dedicated to the issues of stress, depression, anger and grief.
Well, what would you do in the immediate days after 9/11?
Most of you would do what I did... give the program to as many colleges as you could, free of charge.
After all, men and women were heading to war and some of them were about to literally give all they had to give. In my mind, the absolute very least that I could do... was the very best that I could do at the time.
The choice to offer the Outreach Program free to colleges was a fateful decision.
The original business proposition, proposed a test to determine if a branded website could reach "at risk" students ahead of risky, violent or otherwise dangerous behavior. Including suicide.
It's not hard to see the value to the schools... if it worked.
Reaching just one student could be very valuable.
I didn't know it at the time but giving the program away free meant that instead of needing to reach a troubled student, two or three... any successful new business model required that I reach millions... maybe stressed... but otherwise very healthy young men and women with commercial health messages that they didn't need.
Over time I came to believe that a healthy person not only doesn't need to hear about the symptoms of depression... but that general mental health education that distributed vague and sometimes misleading "symptoms of depression" could possibly plant the seeds of depression or at the very least- feed it.
In the Fall of 2007 just as I was preparing a HUGE business launch... I woke-up from a dream to the idea that my work, no matter how well intended... Well, if it all worked as intended... my business could do a great deal more harm than good.
...and I could NOT live with that.
Face to face with that DARK reality... I eventually pulled the plug and flushed all of my hard work down the cyber drain.
To make this long story short...
Somehow, I lost the ability to give-up on my dream.
Each day that passed I learned a little more about what it takes to make a dream come true... so I stayed true to my dream, believing that one way OR another it was only a matter of time before my dream finally came true.
I started sharing what I was learning about The American Dream in April of 2003 when the earliest version of W.A.Y. was posted free online.
The simple act of 'sharing' fed the part of me that wanted to become a part of 'the solution' in any way that I could.
I didn't know what to expect at the time... but I certainly didn't expect to receive so many emails from people who said the book helped them to regain their Faith in God or that because of the book they found reason to hope again and how grateful they were that I had posted the book free online.
It was because of the readers' words and emails that I began to develop a deep sense of responsibility to make sure the words... weren't empty words.
So, I decided to live by the words.
That was easier said than done, but over time I found that some of the original words were wrong and caused by faulty beliefs.
I worked very hard to find and change the beliefs that needed to be changed.
The more change and pain… I… was willing to embrace... the deeper and better the words became and W.A.Y. became a much different book as it became part of a much bigger plan.
