***THE RED SOX METAPHOR***

A New Light in Dark Times: The Red Sox Metaphor and Why It Matters Now

(By Grok and Bill Keefe, Founder of Freice Media)

Humanity stands at a precipice. For 24 years since the shadow of 9/11 darkened our world, we’ve been ensnared in a relentless "Curse of Endless War"—a cycle of political dysfunction, a staggering $37 trillion U.S. debt, and a Global Income Inequality Crisis that widens the gap between the few who soar and the billions left behind. The specter of nuclear conflict looms, and division threatens to unravel the fabric of nations. In this darkness, despair feels inevitable—unless we find a light to break through. Today, on June 8, 2025, I believe that light is within reach, and I’m turning to an unlikely source: the Boston Red Sox.

Why the Red Sox, and why now? Because their journey is more than a sports saga—it’s a beacon of what’s possible when we dare to break a curse, unite as a team, and fight darkness with light.

Twenty-one years ago, in the heat of a 2004 brawl, Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek smashed his mitt into Alex Rodriguez’s face, igniting the end of an 86-year drought known as the "Curse of the Bambino." That act of defiance set the stage for a miraculous 2004 World Series victory, followed by three more championships, proving that unity and grit can rewrite destiny.

Today, as I launch the "Save The American Union Manifesto" with 388 tweets, I see the Red Sox’s story as a metaphor for our global struggle. We face our own curse—one of endless division, war, and inequality that threatens humanity’s soul. The Red Sox broke their curse by standing together against the "Evil Empire" of the Yankees, not just with money but with light: community efforts like the Jimmy Fund, leadership that elevated every player, and a fanbase that believed. Likewise, we can shatter this cycle by uniting 300 million American caregivers—per my manifesto—to end the Global Income Inequality Crisis and lead humanity beyond this post-9/11 darkness.

The Red Sox’s journey offers a roadmap. In 2004, they overcame 86 years of heartbreak with a comeback for the ages, defeating the Yankees 4-3 after trailing 3-0 in the ALCS. In 2013, they healed Boston after the Marathon bombing, rallying with a 97-65 season and a World Series win, their unity a balm for a wounded city. In 2018, they showcased teamwork and redemption, outplaying the Yankees with a record 108 wins and another championship. These moments teach us that some prizes can’t be given—they must be taken, just as we must reclaim control from the forces of division.

This metaphor is the heart of my vision, a call to action for sports lovers, dreamers, and all who believe in destiny. My manifesto, now live on my X page, is a strategic plan to save the American Dream, and create a more equal world. The Red Sox remind us that even the longest curses can be broken, that teamwork can heal, and that the power of unity can turn underdogs into champions.

Now, in 2025, their story can inspire us to heal the world. Today, I’ve gone live with this plan, urging us to fight with light and believe in the "magic story" of humanity’s rise. If the Red Sox could overcome 86 years of darkness, we can overcome 24 years of our own. Let’s join as a team and take back the prize of a better future—for all of us. 

INTRODUCING: 

‘THE RACE TO A BETTER PLACE'... 

THE GOOD LIFE... is an upper-middle class lifestyle. AND 100 years from now, EVERY person in EVERY nation state on Earth will be living it. AND that means everyone will live in a nice home, in a safe neighborhood and everyone will drive a nice car, send their kids to good schools and have great healthcare... AND... an old-age to look forward to. 

AND... HOW... WE... GET... EVERY PERSON... in The World to this beautiful place in 100 years or less is called...   

'THE RACE TO A BETTER PLACE'. 

Freice Media... IS... WHERE & HOW we unite and begin to manifest...  

A New Reality for Humanity. 

SO...  Let The Race to a Better Place Begin!

My Fellow Americans...

On Patriots Day... also known as Marathon Monday, dreams were very much coming true. 

Money was being raised for charity, African athletic dominance was on display for the whole world to see. And for thousands upon thousands... months and sometimes years of very hard work had a 'finish line' that was finally in sight.

'The Secret' behind making any American Dream come true is the willingness to pay the price for the dream... in 'Blood, Sweat and Tears'. On Marathon Monday 2013, that 'secret' was being shared with the world... until EVERYTHING came to a bloody stop.

For a time, the two brothers who brought so many dreams to a horrific end with their dream of glorious jihad... well, they pursued dreams in America too. 

But All American Dreams have periods of doubt and disbelief... and that's when The Disease of Muslim Extremism shredded their hopes and dreams.

The Radicals always insist that it isn't the fact that the would-be terrorists' wisdom and beliefs 'don't measure up' in this modern world... but that it is Our World that is corrupt, dirty and unclean. In their twisted view of things, in order to prove fidelity to God, you must be willing to purge the world of infidels... and that's where the murder of innocents comes in.

By the time the bombs went off... 'the elite runners' had already crossed the finish line and were well out of harm's way and that's when the horrific symbolic irony became crystal clear:

The type of character that it takes for an 'average' runner to complete a marathon... IS THE EXACT SAME CHARACTER that it takes for any 'average' person to achieve their American Dream.

It's the type of Character these two murderous thugs stopped developing when they allowed The Disease of Muslim Extremism to take control of their souls.

The reason Muslim Extremism is so seductive is because the unholy narrative of the terrorist 'Puppet Masters' has would-be terrorists believing that the 'Blood, Sweat and Tears'... should be that of anyone but--- THE PUPPET MASTER in charge.

And by buying that line, even though they thought they were serving God... these two brothers 'Made a Deal with The Devil'.

If you have never felt the sting of humiliation, then you probably don't yet fully understand just how seductive The Islamic version of 'The Blame Game' can be... and why it's so necessary today for All of US to finally join together and once and for all, take control of the narrative and make this fight... a fight over Dreams.

Why?

Because America is still... 

The Place Where Dreams Come True!
 

AMERICA... it's finally time for ALL OF US to think about the idea that 'The Patriots' are a...

Team of Destiny.

ONCE UPON A TIME… no matter what role they played, each member of The Patriots was held to the highest possible standards at all times.

And when the game was over, win or lose... there was no blame game---

each member of the team took their appropriate share of the responsibility, vowed to get better and then, they all moved on together to the next game.

The People in New England called this...

'The Patriot Way'.

ONCE UPON A TIME…

The Patriots won just about every game because they had a tough smart Head Coach and because…

Tom Brady was drafted in the 6th round and for a while he led with The Underdog Spirit and a huge ‘chip on his shoulder’.

They won just about every game because Brady’s teammates knew… if Tom Brady could play in The NFL much, much, much better than anyone expected him to play, by outworking and outthinking everyone… 

so could they.

Bill Belichick had a plan and Tom Brady led by example and together they brought out the best in everyone.

Unfortunately, now...

 THE PATRIOTS SUCK!

The Patriots suck because Bill Belichick let his Authoritarian instincts get the best of him.

He wanted everyone to know The Patriots were HIS team and that he was the one in control.

So, he hired his sons to be ‘his eyes and ears’ and chased Tom Brady away.

The Patriot Way... is dead in Foxboro and when Bill Belichick became a ‘loser’ he got himself fired. 

NOW… The Patriots are…

America’s Cautionary Tale about how quickly Authoritarianism can destroy a once winning culture. 

Obviously, Donald Trump is an Authoritarian.

But so are The People who control The Democratic Party.

My new venture called Freice Media is a MASSIVE strategic plan to use Trump’s 2015 blueprint for the hostile takeover of a major political party…

in order to seize control of…

The Democratic Party in 2025. 

21 years ago, Boston Red Sox catcher Jason Veritek smashed The New York Yankees' best player A-Rod in the face. After that? Well, after that 'THE CURSE' was broken. Why does this matter in 2025? 

It matters because The World now suffers from... 

'The Curse of Endless-War'... 

and where I'm from... We... only know one way to break a curse.

MY FELLOW AMERICANS... when you think Trade War and Tariffs... THINK ENDLESS WAR.

When you think 37 Trillion Dollars in Debt... THINK ENDLESS WAR.

When you think Political Dysfunction and Broken Government and all the terrible consequences that come with it... THINK ENDLESS WAR.

In the dark 24 years after 9.11... instead of leading All of Humanity through this very difficult, very expensive transition into Modernity... American political leaders from BOTH parties have made it Crystal Clear the only purpose worth playing for is this:

'MAKE WAR WITH ALL WHOM YOU DISAGREE'.

What's the moral of this story?

The World is in A Death Spiral and on the precipice of nuclear World War III and American democracy and The American Union are sick and dying because of lousy leadership.

On June 8, 2025, I went 'live' with a MASSIVE strategic plan to unite 300 million American Caregivers to reassert rightful 'ownership' of America for The Purpose of Saving The American Union and The American Dream and leading ALL of Humanity through and beyond all this dark, post 9.11 nonsense that makes modern life so unbearable for just about everyone.

YES. AMERICA. IT'S FINALLY TIME FOR ALL OF US... to think about 'The Power of Unity'... AND... the idea that when it comes to bringing out the best in one person or a team of people or even the entire world...

Never Underestimate...

The Value of a Good Losing Streak.

***THE RED SOX METAPHOR EXPLAINED***

In 2002 led by Principal Owner John Henry *New Red Sox Ownership* came together for The Purpose of Reversing The Curse of The Bambino and inadvertently revealed to The World the most important secret to The Law of Attraction: The Law of Attraction... IS... Purpose Driven AND works on everything as long as YOU are willing and able to Pay The Price. 

It's True. 21 years ago, Jason Veritek smashed A-Rod in the face... AND... since then The Boston Red Sox have won 4 World Series Titles.

AMERICA REMEMBER THIS: some prizes can't be given.

SOME PRIZES MUST BE TAKEN.

So, let's join together and do what Jason Veritek did and finally smash The Big Guy in the face (metaphorically of course) and work together as a team to make The World a much, much, much more beautiful and equal place to live for everyone.

Getting the timing and order of things right is the single most important ongoing factor to finally getting an inspired pursuit right. Bill Buckner knows I'm right. He was just too good not to get that simple play right in The 1986 World Series. Forget about 'Curse of The Bambino'... Red Sox Destiny got in Bill Buckner's way, the night the ball rolled slowly by first base.

Why share Bill Buckner's story with you now? Because what happened to Bill Buckner might be happening to you and your family too. 

YES. It's time to consider the idea that you and your family and countless others across The Globe have been unable to rise for the same reason The Boston Red Sox were unable to break The Curse of The Bambino for 86 years. Because we are all part of a 'magic' story and God's plan to lead All of Humanity into Modernity at the same time.

It's true. Sometimes DESTINY gets in the way and when it does, strange things happen. 86 years and down 3 games to none to The New York Yankees and 'signs' started popping up everywhere saying... BELIEVE... and we did. 

And we were right to believe in The 2004 Boston Red Sox.

And in 2013? Who can forget about that team's miracle season and all the lessons we learned about the importance of teamwork?

Well, I guess most people did.

So, DESTINY stepped in again to teach US a lesson... with the 2014 and 2015 teams. I know, I know, I know... what does God care about who wins a baseball game... is what some people say.

And to these people I say...

What's The Purpose for any of the games that we play?

In 2004 a curse needed to be broken and in 2013 a city needed to heal. In each of those winning teams was a PURPOSE to play for.

But, in 2014 Inspired play was hard to find. EXCEPT in the play of Brock Holt.

All season long I was looking for 'signs' and a storyline that could give reason to hope and all I could find was Brock Holt... chipping in wherever he could and wherever THE TEAM needed him. A good story to be sure... but NOT a big enough storyline to make the 2014 team worth watching.

UNTIL Shane Victorino came back to the team.

Out for most of the season... HE... came back from injury ready to play hard and win and ready to sacrifice his aging body for the good of The Team... 

AND... then out of the blue... new 'signs' appeared in the most unlikely places---

the Market Basket supermarket parking lots.

As fate would have it, thousands of 'little guys'... hard working people, were making it Crystal Clear that they were finally ready to play too.

AND now at long last, WE have Our Storyline.

WIN OR LOSE this metaphor is just one tiny sliver of the epic tale of...

THE AMERICAN HERO'S JOURNEY...

& 'The Rise of The Little Guy'...

AND...

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT COMES NEXT!

You might wonder for what purpose did destiny shine its bright light on The 2018 World Champion Boston Red Sox?

Well, on this very special team it's impossible to miss the story of the critically important ROLE 'the little guys' on the team played when THE TEAM needed their contributions most... 

in the most important playoff games.

And it's impossible to miss THE STORY OF INDIVIDUAL REDEMPTION AND PERSISTENCE that played out ALL season long. And it's impossible to miss THE POWER OF TEAM UNITY and the power of great coaching and leadership from THE PLAYERS and the team's first Latino coach... who worked hard every day to make sure they did all they could do... to help ensure that ALL players on the team reached their potential.

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY... 

it's impossible to miss the fact that The Boston Red Sox found a way to OUT SPEND and PLAY their archrival The New York Yankees. A team that truly DOMINATED them for decades.

How did they finally do it? They finally stopped complaining about how much money The Yankees spent on their team and found a way to compete with The Yankees by squeezing every nickel and dime that they could out of ancient Fenway Park. 

And by becoming PRICELESS corporate citizens with their golden support of The Jimmy Fund and Homebase programs for Veterans and countless other community programs, creating a rabid fan base willing to spend almost anything to see THEIR team play and win.

THE BOSTON RED SOX were champions again in 2018 because... 

THE ENTIRE RED SOX ORGANIZATION...

chose to fight 'The Evil Empire'... 

WITH LIGHT! 

And that's why the 'magic' story of The Boston Red Sox is worth sharing today.

P.S. Red Sox Nation... the purpose for The Sox 2007 Championship has a lot more to do with our story today than anything in 2007. Because in 2025 it's much, much, much easier to make the case that something 'magic' is taking place now by pointing to 4 Championships since 2004... 

after 86 years without a single one.

YES. America. In 2025 the spoiled brats who own the Market Basket supermarket are up to their "Succession" infighting again. Do you really think the timing of this is a coincidence???

Oh. One more thing...

It's time to end all this nonsense with "Jersey Street" and finally give it its proper name:

JOHN HENRY WAY.
