As truth emerges about one horrible and depraved story after another—from the Epstein files to the tens of billions of dollars of Somali immigrant welfare fraud in Minnesota—the related dots are not random or isolated but rather connected, revealing a proliferation of evil through a pervasive inversion matrix.
Almost everyone has heard about the transposition of good and evil and truth and falsehood. The essential message of the popular 1999 movie, The Matrix, revolves around people awakening to the true nature of reality, rejecting illusion and control, and embracing personal freedom through choice and self-realization. This “reality inversion” phenomenon was understood in ancient times. In about 390 B.C. Plato explained the power of fake illusions in “Cave Allegory” in his masterpiece, The Republic. About 320 years earlier, Isaiah the prophet had presented a deeper spiritual explanation in the Old Testament book by his name, chapter 5, verse 20: “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.”
There should be no surprise that Judeo-Christian Western Civilization is under attack. Demonic forces are real and that is what you get when you drive the true God out of the culture.
In America, these consequences are seen in the streets, the workplace and schools, entertainment, and in government and courts. On January 2, the Sharia Marxist, Zohran Mamdani, was inaugurated in New York City, the most important city in America. In America’s “founding state,” Virginia, which produced four out of the five first and greatest presidents, the inversion matrix was key in Democrat Abigail Spanberger’s victory. Running as a moderate, Spanberger revealed she was really a wolf in sheep’s clothing on her inauguration on January 17, signing a raft of executive orders that make her one of the most left-wing radical governors in the nation.

It’s not just political or cultural. The “inversion matrix” has dark spiritual roots and is purpose-driven to attack and undermine the beliefs and norms of Judeo-Christian people and countries, rendering them vulnerable to internal collapse from subversion by alien ideologies and intruders. And that is precisely what America faces today, notwithstanding President Trump’s optimism that we are in a “Golden Age.”
The inversion matrix, like Marxism and derivatives such as Leninism, Maoism, Critical Race Theory (CRT), and DEI has its origin in spiritual depravity. In practice, the operational methodology of the inversion matrix is a kind of mass psychological engineering—also known as “gaslighting”—and guilt programming. Such gaslighting and programming involve constant subliminal attacks on traditional values and heritage. These attacks create guilt narratives about colonialism, slavery, privilege, and oppression. The language gets pumped with weaponized terms and labels intended to create a sort of mass narrative groupthink. In addition, when communication utilizes inflammatory labeling—like racist, Islamophobe, homophobe, transphobe, or “far right”—to name a few, conversation becomes difficult and pointless. Most people don’t realize that antagonistic language is employed intentionally to shut down conversation, exacerbate division and train people subliminally to self-censor and submit. This is not about correcting injustice; it is about deep state control through the matrix of intimidation, confusion, and demoralization.
A well-designed physical hedge matrix makes it impossible to find a way out. Similarly, the inversion matrix that takes root in the mind undermines common sense and makes critical thinking impossible. Worse, the inversion matrix destroys the individual’s moral compass and promotes groupthink that can lead to criminal behavior.
A two-tiered justice system is also a key inversion matrix, and is clearly seen when favored elites are given a pass and pay no penalty for their crimes. In America today, this has resulted in alienation, cynicism, and the weakened rule of law. Government elites and wealthy individuals evade accountability, while others face harsh penalties. As a result, we live with increasing crime and abuse of power in government.
When outsider Donald Trump succeeded in the 2016 upset presidential election against favored candidate Hillary Clinton, a deep state cabal to undermine President-elect Trump was quickly organized by President Barack Obama. Included in that group were: FBI director James Comey, CIA director John Brennan, DNI Director James Clapper and National Security advisor Susan Rice. These very people undertook this unthinkably bold seditious act because they had personally witnessed and experienced the protection of the two-tiered justice system that had become the norm of the inversion matrix.
The deep state wasn’t going to take any chance that Trump could win a second term. Vote manipulation and fraud strategies to suppress the vote count for Trump and increase the count for Biden were conceived and implemented in the seven swing states in 2020. But the work of the inversion matrix did not stop there. A massive media campaign was orchestrated to delegitimize the possibility of vote fraud, resulting in censorship and causing vote fraud to be dismissed as a conspiracy theory.
Next was the inversion of a people’s Washington, D.C. protest of questionable election results on January 6, 2021, that was manipulated and spun into the narrative of an insurrection. The real prize of all these inversion matrix efforts was the installation of Joe Biden as the 46th president. The Biden presidency was a disaster on every front, most notably in the open borders policy and many other directives and executive orders that were signed by an autopen—likely controlled by deep state operatives.
Despite Trump’s sweeping comeback victory in 2024, the power of the inversion matrix seems unabated. Compassion is often misdirected and truth is viewed as hate speech. The ultimate inversion is seen in the majority becoming the villain, with natural-born Americans being portrayed as the intruders compared to illegal aliens. When the very people whose ancestors built the nation, farmed the land, raised the families, and paid the taxes, now find themselves apologizing for simply existing, we are really in Alice in Wonderland.
The power of the inversion matrix is now on full display in Minnesota, where tens of billions of dollars of welfare fraud get overshadowed in the daily news coverage of the alleged horrors of Immigration, Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers committed to their job of law enforcement, supported by an overwhelming majority of Americans. Alleged crimes by one group, the Somalis, are explained away as trauma, misunderstanding or cultural norms. But alleged crimes committed by ICE officers trigger outrage, violence, and riots.
Most Americans have not been able to understand how confusion, chaos, misinformation, and polarization have crept into the institutions that touch their daily lives. Now, getting a grasp on the inversion matrix paradigm provides insight, light, and clarity for the path ahead.
Reestablishing normalcy and merit in power structures, roles, problem-solving and truth- seeking would get us back on track, enabling systems to function and operate more fairly and optimally, whether in justice, education, media, public sector governance, or economics and business—all of which would lead to a more virtuous circle of greater trust, good will and improved outcomes.
