Lakota Pays Laura Kursman $90,000 to go away: The cost of protecting an empire

What does a PR director do at a school system? Why would the tax payers need to hire such a person? Yet Lakota, the school system in my community is hiring a new one with a pay range between $69,000 and $94,000 per year! That’s a very good salary, but what is the reason for this position? What necessitates the hiring of such a person if the goal of the education institution is to simply teach our children?  (Below you can see Laura Kursman in action doing what PR directors do.)

As anyone who reads here often knows, I have done a lot of PR work. I have done hundreds and hundreds of interviews with all levels of the media, print, radio, and television. I’ve designed and coded websites along with all the content. I’ve written hundreds of thousands of promotional material which is what a public relations employee does. With that qualifier there isn’t any reason that I see why a school system would need to hire a PR director. Even at a large school like Lakota which has 22 buildings and approximately 2000 employees and 18,000 students, there simply isn’t enough work with the media around town to justify 8 hours of work per day 5 days a week. The work of a PR person might be required to type up press releases, and assuming Lakota had news to report every day, a press release only takes an hour or so to prepare. If it takes longer than that, the PR person doesn’t know what they are doing. Statements to the press take 15 to 20 minutes. I’ve given such statements to the entire media of Cincinnati and did so between my morning meetings and lunch without there being any difficulty. If you are the type of person who is good at that kind of thing, which most PR people are, that kind of work is a breeze.

With those qualifiers I do not see why Lakota needs a PR person as a fulltime staff member. It just doesn’t make any sense. At best there is about 15 hours of work per week for such an employee to perform and paying $69,000 to $90,000 per year for 15 hours of work per week is not a good use of money. These PR tasks should be handled by the school superintendent for general issues, and for individual sports stories and extracurricular activity work of specific students the coaches and teachers should easily be able to handle the job. No school should hire a PR director. There is only one reason I can think of that a school would need to hire this type of person, and that is to pass school levies.

To prove my point lets examine why Lakota is hiring a new PR director. Laura Kursman mysteriously has been on a leave of absence from the role she has performed for Lakota since 2008. In September of 2011 she has been off her PR director job and Ashire Communications president Elliot Grossman has been hired as a PR consultant since that time. So where has Laura been, and why did Lakota pay her $90,000 to go away making her officially off the payroll effective Tuesday, (Today)?

Well, Superintendent Mantia and School Board President Joan Powell have been tight-lipped about the whole deal involving Laura Kursman and have not been very forthcoming regarding the details of Laura’s disappearance. It’s entirely possible that Laura was being blamed for the failed levies since she was the PR director, whatever the issue was, Lakota is in an awful hurry to part with her.  We can only speculate on this issue because Lakota has not been open in their reasoning, and the cloak and dagger tactics with the public smells bad. 

Well, newsflash Lakota administration, the Lakota levies have been failing because the tax requests are founded on ignorance and a lack of financial understanding. And in addition to that, I have been handling the PR obligations of the No Lakota Levy group which has opposed the Lakota levy attempts and I have done by Lakota Math approximately $500,000 worth of PR work to fight the levies and I’ve done it out of the kindness of my heart because I believe the Lakota Pro Tax position is a danger to my community and is acting in a parasitic way to continued economic growth. And I will continue to perform that task in the future. Pushing Laura out the door with $90,000 of our money in her pocket so Lakota can hire someone the administration likes better to advance future levy campaign battles doesn’t seem very responsible to me.

I thought Laura did a pretty good job. She handled the child molester Ryan Fahrenkemp the best she could. And Lakota managed to keep the lid on a sex scandal involving a high school teacher, a high-profile principal and the parent of a special needs child without the story going ballistic because Laura and her crew of spin control technicians diffused the issue effectively. All those issues took place in 2011. And the school levies are purely a lack of management driven by excessive labor union expectations. It’s not Laura’s fault that the superintendents and school board members are all on the same side as the labor unions. I mean you can’t polish a pile of shit into a diamond, yet Laura did try. But that is what the school district thinks they are going to do by hiring a new PR director, is find an employee who can make shit look like a diamond and spin the truth around on itself so that Lakota residents will pass future levies and continue paying the contract expectations of the labor union.

Imagine how much money Lakota would have if they just played the game straight. If they weren’t worried about manipulating the community with a PR director they could save that salary. And they wouldn’t have had to pay off the previous employee with a $90,000 fee. Lakota also spent almost 50K in fees just looking for a new superintendent who was less than 70 miles away who they ended up paying almost a quarter million dollars for in total compensation. What does the superintendent do all day if she’s not balancing the budget and handling PR obligations? Those two financial mistakes happened within 4 months of each other, and those are the situations we know about. Can you imagine how much waste is going on that we don’t know about? During the last levy campaign the pro Lakota levy group spent $12,000 on consultants to advise them how to pass the school levy. That’s just the way these people think, they spend a lot of money hiring people to do the jobs they should be doing and often accomplish nothing in the process.

That is why the Lakota School District is trying to hire another PR director so that they can attempt to hide stories like what was described above with “spin” so that the district can maintain a successful public image while they blow hundreds of thousands of dollars on sheer stupidity, like paying off Kursman $90,000 by Dec. 16.  Lakota is paying Kursman in the form of three checks: $44,000, with no withholdings for taxes or any other deductions; $44,000, less deductions for applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes; and $2,000 made payable to Freking & Betz LLC. The $90,000 came from the general fund. Isn’t that nice.  Oh, by the way, Freking & Betz LLC is a personal injury law firm.  (Somebody owes the public an explanation.)

That’s a lot of money taken from a lot of properties around West Chester and Liberty Twp. And the administrators who pay those bills seem to have no concept on what the value of a dollar is which is why they always ask for more in the form of taxes. To them money is like popcorn. All you do when you run out is pop more. And when a school district runs out of money that they’ve consumed like drunken sailors, they simply ask for another tax levy, and hire a PR director to make shit look like a diamond because with all the consumption of money Lakota does, that is mostly what comes out.

I thought of Lakota this morning while I was walking our dogs and ironically that is where the economic metaphor came from.  My wife was complaining that we were out of dog food again, and she was right.  We had just bought a big bag of it two weeks ago and now it was gone.  Where did it go?  As I watched my dogs go to the bathroom in the gentle December rain and specifically shit all over my yard I thought of Lakota.  The dogs do three things, they eat, they sleep and they use the restroom.   Dogs are basically defecation factories.  Sure dogs keep us company to some extent and occupy our time.  They bark and make noise every now and then, but their primary function is to eat and defecate.  And so does the school system.  They eat tax dollars, take credit for the growth of our kids but truly only provide some basic care service. Most of what schools take in ends up as waste just like a dog. 

As I stood in the rain and looked at the nice little prize that one of my fattest dogs left in my yard steaming in the cool air fresh from my dog’s rectum, I thought of Laura Kursman and her $90,000 parting gift.    Aren’t they both the same thing?  The dog ate a lot of food, used some of the energy to bark and look out the window.  Laura Kursman took in a lot of money and barked a little bit and looked out the window, what else does a PR director do, nothing productive.  Once the food moved through my dog’s body that food he ate a few days ago and didn’t turn into fat or energy ended up in my yard.  And Laura once she had taken in all she could and was given more food to just spew it back out in the form of waste, with nothing of any value given back from the investment of money spent.  

I don’t see any difference.

Production Notes: Tail of the Dragon and Daisy Duke

For my local and national readers I invite you to be a fly on the wall for this article, because it is directed at my publisher and all the employees who are working very hard to make my new book Tail of the Dragon a reality.  My editor did a phenomenal job in delivering back to me the manuscript on its second, and most extensive edit, and for putting this project on track for our summer 2012 release date.  The amount of work she did in just three weeks is astounding as I reference the voluminous notes and extensive edits. I was hoping to get this manuscript back during the first week of 2012, but she pulled off the great feat of gaining almost 8 production days, which is tremendous and much appreciated. 

I received contact from the art department over the weekend which is the purpose of this brain-storming post, to help pull into focus the marketing efforts at this stage.  Even though the subject heading for this novel is Philosophy, the story itself is unmistakably about the philosophy of freedom—what is it, how do we get it—and how do we maintain it.  It’s also about why some factions of human society do not want us to have it.   

So in keeping my mind focused while writing Tail of the Dragon I thought often of the old TV show the Dukes of Hazzard and contemplated often why millions of Americans to this very day feel something special for the car in that old show, The General Lee, the 69 Dodge Charger made famous by the TV show.  Even though the show has been over for over 20 years, thousands still show up to see it in person, and to see it jump through the air in live stunt shows like the one below. 

Admittedly the subject matter of the Tail of the Dragon is quite serious at times, but I will admit that I watched this movie preview often while writing the story to keep my mind focused on how the book should look in the mind of the reader.  I tend to be a serious person by nature, so thinking about the latest film version of The Dukes of Hazzard released in 2005, which wasn’t a successful undertaking by Hollywood standards, there were many things that the production did right, and this preview captures many of those aspects wonderfully and I think more represent the tone, pacing, and feel of what Tail of the Dragon is all about, than what ended up on-screen in that film remake. 

As we have discussed in great detail, and what has come up in this latest, and final edit of the book is the need to get to the meat of the story quicker, because the plot essentially takes place during the entire car chase.  All the thematic elements of this story require the car chase to play out in the plot development.  As it is currently written, the characters in Tail of the Dragon have declared that they will do whatever it takes to obtain freedom, so in a society that has so many rules that limit that freedom, a fleeing from those rules is the prime ingredient, so we have successfully taken a car chase that was 50% of the story and took half the book to get there, and incorporated it into the end of the first third of the book at approximately the 30% mark.  From that point much of the story including character development is revealed at speeds over 100 MPH through city streets, back yards, highways, dirt roads and countless roadblocks and police attempts to stop the car.  In conceiving this very action oriented chase I again referred to this scene from the same Dukes of Hazzard movie of 2005.  The action and pacing in this scene is very much how most of Tail of the Dragon will be presented in the mind of the reader.  Our book does have a share of comedy, but much of the dialogue will be presented in a thriller type way.  Much of it is about serious topics instead of the childish slap stick seen here between Knoxville and Scott.  But the style and carefree rebellion of this scene is very much along the line of thinking in Tail of the Dragon. 

I focused this story in the southern states of Tennessee and North Carolina because unlike other parts of the United States, the people in these southern regions have a love for freedom that I think many in America are looking to understand in themselves no matter where they live.  When the Dukes of Hazzard film came out, many in the south were very upset with the production, because they felt the new movie isolated the old cast members who are still held in very high regard all over the south.  I believe the reason was that there has been a tendency especially in modern Hollywood to poke fun at southern culture, and the Dukes of Hazzard as a film was trying to pay homage to a popular television show.  The result was a film with great action scenes that played out like a Jackass film, and much of the heart of what made the Dukes of Hazzard popular was left out of the movie.

But the iconic role of the General Lee in the form of a car as a pursuit of modern freedom has extended from generation to generation in spite of the political attempt to paint southern culture as illiterate, racists, and backward in every fashion.  I think it is evident that people all over America are beginning to see through this obvious political posturing that has spilled over into entertainment.  But when the marketing for the Dukes of Hazzard movie put Jessica Simpson into a music video washing that famous car in a bikini, I can see that they had at least an idea of what America is hungry for in entertainment, and an understanding of the uniquely American philosophy of freedom. 

My biggest complaint in that video is that the doors to the General Lee do not open.  Simpson should have had to crawl through the window like drivers in NASCAR do, because that was one of the features of the General Lee car, that the Duke boys had to climb in and out of the car through the window because the doors were welded shut.  But the rest of the video is dead on to what makes southern culture uniquely freedom loving.  While the modern progressive viewpoint of this video would say that the video is sexist, that the Confederate Flag on top of the car is a reference to racism, and the video portrays an America where a bunch of beer drinking good ol’ boys are fighting for no apparent reason, the imagery is uniquely American and can be seen at events all over the country, particularly in Sturgis, South Dakota at the giant motorcycle rally that happens there every August. 

But the General Lee and the southern breed of woman known as “Daisy Dukes” is a culture aspect that is stronger today than it was 30 years ago when the show first aired.  I see that it’s even stronger now than it was ten years ago as seen in this next video. 

There are millions of Americans and probably citizens of other countries such as Australia, Germany, and Great Britain who I believe are curious about our American idea of freedom and the right to express it, and southern culture in America is uniquely poised to provide that export of philosophy.  So in our cover design and the next steps in the quest to bring Tail of the Dragon to the public by the second or third quarter of 2012, I see that it is our task to capture that freedom in a bottle to provide to the readers who seem hungrier than ever to understand that inner quest for personal liberty. 

I am confident now that I’ve seen the second edit and it is now in my hands once again that we are uniquely positioned to capture on the pages of literature the greatest car chase in the history of imagination, in a race that begins at the White House and ends with a definition of what it means to be free.

LaHood Brings Money to Cincinnati: Picking up members of the opposite sex

Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood came to Cincinnati recently with an arm load of money for the much disputed streetcar project to give to Mayor Mark Mallory’s pet development. The streetcar received from the Secretary of Transportation almost $11 million for the $95 million dollar budget to continue on with the effort that passed narrowly 51% by 49% in November 2011 with some very controversial ballot language clouding the issue to a large degree. In that particular vote, NO meant Yes, and it was very difficult to actually know what the people of Cincinnati wanted as a result of that election because people on both sides were confused as to how they should vote due to the confusing wording, which was done on purpose. But never-the-less, the streetcar issue passed which brought LaHood to Cincinnati as a kind of progressive victory lap celebration, and Doc Thompson of 700 WLW wasn’t too happy about it as he discussed it on his day time radio show. Have a listen:

When LaHood spoke about how the people of Cincinnati want a streetcar he was simply ignoring the 49% of the voters who shot the proposal down. This is a standard tactic of progressives in politics where they attempt to build a consensus with a denial of the existence of any opposition. Public schools have been using this strategy for many years now to drive up the property taxes to pay for community education when school levies fail. The typical reaction is to put the measure on the ballot 6 months to a year later again and again till opposition withers away and once the new tax is passed, the progressive politicians pretend that the entire community has reached an agreement on the measure.

What these progressive politicians are essentially doing are using a weakness in the human condition that is innate and turning it against the people they have been elected to serve in an effort to impose a set of values that the political class embraces, but might not be generally accepted by the people who elected those politicians in the first place. The weakness exists in the human being because the methods used to impose political imposition on a unknowing public are similar to the human mating rituals. In politics we might call the methods that Ray LaHood, Mark Mallory and Barack Obama used to build a streetcar in Cincinnati a variation of The Delphi Technique which was developed by Saul Aliskey. You can read how The Delphi Technique works here:

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2010/12/29/the-delphi-technique-how-it-works/

For a much more simplified explanation of what politicians like Mark Mallory and Ray LaHood are doing in this streetcar deal I will refer your attention to the pick-up artist who has developed methods of obtaining the phone number of a women whom he has never met in less than one minute. This pick-up artist knows that he must gain the trust of the woman whom he has never met quickly, overcome her reservations, and gain information about her which causes her to invest emotional energy into him, therefore giving him the information he’s seeking. Watch how he does it:

This next video takes the whole process a few steps further. In this short video a group of guys are attempting to pick up two women in a bar. What you will see even though it is done with some level of humor and good fun is essentially the same as what our government is doing to us every day starting with Barack Obama speaking into his head set, and allowing the information to trickle down through his minions Ray LaHood and Mark Mallory to seduce the young women, (the general public) into believing that the pick-up artists have something that the girls need. Click this video to see your government at work.

High speed rail and street cars are part of the progressive platform, just as the progressive income tax is, and the gradual attack of property in the forms of high taxation. By increasing taxes, particularly on property to fund education, progressive socialism is accomplishing two tremendous strategies that can be seen clearly under their Ten Planks, free public education, and decreased property rights. You can read those Ten Planks here:

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2011/04/24/if-you-vote-for-a-levy-of-any-kind-youre-stupid-the-ten-planks-of-communism/

Yes—that is what progressives are after. Just like the guys in the above video want to have sex with the two women, progressives want to screw the tax payer and to dominate their lives in virtually every way possible……….didn’t you know that? The progressive push to create high-speed rail and street cars is not to connect the nation in a positive way, but to focus large population centers to live near these government controlled areas so progressive politics can continue to gain momentum. Like the pick-up artist tells the girls whatever he thinks the girls want to hear so that the girls will lower their defenses, progressives use buzz words like “job creation” and “Seed money” to lure their targets in for the great seduction. Listen to Lahood talking about those very issues here. When listening notice his emphasis on the $2 billion in federal money, also notice his mention of the cost of fuel. This is why progressives do not want to drill for oil in America or they are against pipelines, yet support new construction in places like Brazil and Venezuela. They purposely want fuel costs to go up so Americans are attracted to the aspects of culture that Lahood is talking about. It is not to protect the environment. It’s to advance the cause of socialism…..sorry to inform you of that if you didn’t already know.

But why do progressives want trains and street cars? Well, it’s all about bloc voting. As I write this the Gallup poll of President Obama’s job approval rating is sitting at only 41% support his job performance while 51% disprove and the differences are undecided. Yet the Republicans are struggling to find a candidate who can beat Obama in a presidential election—why? If a majority of the American people disprove of the President, then why wouldn’t he be thrown out of office in the next election? Because while the President and his progressive party could travel thousands of miles of rural countryside, which is a majority of the United States, and have to find voters with a search warrant, the President is very popular in places where the government gives away things to buy votes. Progressives do well in inner cities which have dense populations and vote democratic. Young people who can’t buy a home yet tend to rent apartments in metropolitan areas and they tend to vote democratic because they have been programmed to do so through union controlled public schools. Illegal immigrants hide out in large cities and live with their legitimate family members who provide refuge for them. It is the legal immigrant that votes democratic to protect deportation of their relatives. The gay populations tend to live in metropolitan areas also and of course they vote democratic. Welfare recipients live in metropolitan areas—so as you can see dear reader, although most of those who vote in a progressive fashion are in the minority, politicians have been scandalously clever in finding ways to get the liberal-minded all to live in concentrated areas. This allows a progressive president to capture states that have high electoral counts and to carry those states if the state has more than one or two large cities. This is the condition in California where high populations in Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco in sheer bloc voting power can dominate the conservative voters who occupy the suburbs and win an entire state’s electoral votes for Barack Obama. Ohio, another key battleground state for the presidency is very conservative between the cities, but contains four large cities, Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland and Toledo. The rest of the state is very traditional, but progressives in a century of give-a-ways by stealing money from our taxes to give to those mentioned minority groups have built an entrenched bloc voting monopoly that has rigged the system in their favor, and they used our money to do it!

This is why progressives want High Speed Rail and street cars. They are appealing to their base who tend to be broke anyway, on welfare, or too irresponsible to operate their own car. And they want to keep those sad people who way, close to the cities and dependent on government where they can be controlled and used to buy votes in future elections. It doesn’t matter at all to Ray LaHood, Barack Obama, or Mark Mallory that a majority of American’s do not support their policies. It doesn’t bother them because progressives view America like a pick-up artist views a woman he wishes to sleep with then leave the next morning with a fake number and no way to contact the man who did the deed to the unsuspected woman who can’t even find her panties the next morning because the thief stole those too.

Doc was right; LaHood’s visit to Cincinnati was simply thug behavior. It was Chicago style; organized crime oriented bullying to flaunt in the faces of the masses that resistance is futile and that the progressive political machine will get what they want one way or the other, in spite of what those same masses have to say about it. Because to them, they do not respect the average tax payer, to them, all of society is a potential candidate that they would like to inject their sex organs into simply for the sport of conquest and a maintenance of their power so that whenever they wish they may use, abuse and disrespect us at their will.

The Flying Tigers: An age of greatness that must return

In the picture above that is me in the fifth grade during 1979 right after the epic soapbox derby race that was a cliffhanger to the very end. My car stole the hearts of the spectators who witnessed that event on a hot summer day that year. But what many didn’t know or understand was how important to me that saw-toothed mouth was painted on the front of my car. As you can see dear reader my experience with the media goes back quite a few years and if you work at it you might be able to read the story of that spectacular day by enlarging the photograph of the article. The car itself was named The Beast because that was the year that Kings Island first opened their signature roller coaster which I instantly fell in love with. But the mouth on the front was from my favorite airplane in the Aerospace Museum at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.  Now before we continue on dear reader I ask for your attention and patience.  Take your time with this.  Read it all and watch the videos.  You will gain vast insight into what is happening around you to this very day.  What you will learn here will equal dozens of hours of college level history.  So Please make use of it!

My love of the P-40 Warhawk displayed so valiantly in Dayton goes back as far as I can remember, and I can vividly remember things from when I was 1 and 2 years old. The P-40 Warhawk was the signature plane flown by the famous Flying Tigers AVG group led by General Claire Chennault, a man I have always felt an affinity for. Chennault was a brilliant strategist, a natural leader, but was extremely abrasive to his superiors often participating in open conflict with them. These disputes with his military superiors led him to resign from the United States Army Corps with the rank of captain in the year 1937 after a rather brilliant career as organizer of the 1st Pursuit Group of the Army Air Corps acrobatic team the “Three Musketeers” where the group performed in the National Air Races. Later he became the pursuit aviation instructor at Maxwell Field of a team named “The Men on the Flying Trapeze.” Chennault had developed the rare ability to master strategy without compromising American horse sense a talent that infuriated his superiors, so he quit the Army.

But that wasn’t the end, Chennault would become far more famous and valuable as a special advisor to Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek of China as that country attempted to protect itself from the Japanese who were in the late 1930’s attempting to overrun China on a quest for natural resources. And to the north of China was the communists who were heavily funded by the Soviet Union and instigating a civil war within China. The situation was remarkably similar to what the United States would find itself in during the start of the next century where outside interests like George Soros is funding aggression against the United States indirectly while we are openly fighting enemies in Iran, Afghanistan and the invisible enemy of terrorism.  It’s a standard divide and conquer act by two enemies who work indirectly together for the mutual aim of destroying a rival.  In this case China was the target of both the communists and imperial Japan so they worked together to crush China from two fronts.  Sadly we all know that eventually China would be overrun by communism which it remains to this very day. In 1951 Chennault testified before the Senate Joint Committee on Armed Forces and Foreign Relations about the reason China was lost to Communist forces in 1951. Chennault after all his heroics in China during World War II had warned President Roosevelt and President Truman directly about the dangers of communism heading into China at the close of World War II, but both presidents were only focused on beating Japan, and it was their short-sighted commitments that caused the United States to pull out of China once the Japanese surrendered which led to the communists to surge in and overtake the government of China.

Sun Tzu to the Chinese is probably revered more highly than George Washington is to the United States. Chairman Mao used The Art of War to defeat Chiang Kai-shek. Chennault had worked closely with Kai-shek to hold off communism in China, but weak US policy after World War II lead to Mao taking over the country in 1949. Chennault warned of the possibility of future war with China in his WONDERFUL book Way of the Fighter published in 1949. In that book, which is now considered a rare book, Chennault predicted the trouble with Korea and Vietnam years before they occurred. The testimony did not sit well with the government, and they failed to act on Chennault’s warnings leaving China to wither under communist control which the United States would pay for dearly over the next 60 years.

To paint a picture of what that communist takeover was like for the people of China, which Chennault had fought so hard to prevent you can read vividly the description of events that occurred in the great book starting on page 505 of Joseph Campbell’s masterpiece called Oriental Mythology, published in 1962 and was part of four books he spent 12 years writing; he chronicles the beginning of communism in China quite startlingly. What follows are direct quotes from that book which is remarkably similar to the conditions America is finding itself in as President Obama signs the NDAA Bill in our modern age.
A man, aged twenty-two from Doi-Dura in th Amdo region was told by the Chinese that he required treatment to make him more intelligent. The Chinese at the time were telling Tibetans that they were a stupid inferior race and would have to be sup-planted by Russians and Chinese. They took blood tests of this man, his wife, and many others, and there are a number of corresponding reports from different parts of Tibet detailing the sort of operation to which this young man and his wife were the next day forced to submit. They were both taken to the hospital. “He was completely undressed, placed on a chair and his genital organs were examined. Then a digital rectal examination was carried out and the finger was agitated. He then ejaculated a whitish fluid and one or more drops fell on a glass slide which was taken away. After this a long pointed instrument with handles like those of scissors was inserted inside the urethra and he fainted with pain. When he came round the doctors gave him a white tablet which they said would give him strength. Then he received an injection at the base of the penis where it joins the scrotum. The needle itself hurt but the injection did not. He felt momentarily numb in the region until the needle was removed. He stayed ten days in the hospital and then a month in be at home….he had been married for only two years and prior to this treatment had very strong sexual feelings…Afterwards he had no sexual desire at all….”

Meanwhile, his wife “was undressed and tied down. Her legs were raised and outstretched. Something very odd which became painful was inserted inside the vagina. She saw a kind of rubber balloon with a rubber tube attached, the end of which was inserted inside the vagina. The balloon was squeezed and his wife felt something very cold inside her. This caused no pain and only the tube and not the balloon was inserted. She remained conscious throughout. Then she was taken to bed. The same procedure was carried on every day for about a week. Then she went home and stayed in bed for about three weeks,” and thereafter she had neither sexual feeling nor menstruation.

Such stories numbered in the thousands and were provoked by a belief that some groups of people should not breed, so measures were taken to ensure that blood lines would end.  There were many stories of political dissidents who just disappeared off the face of the earth completely once communism was dominate in China.  It wasn’t General Chennault’s fault however that communism prevailed. He arrived in China in 1937 to help train Chinese pilots to defend against Japanese aggression. By 1941 war with Japan was imminent with the United States and it was Chennault who lobbied President Roosevelt to provide airplanes and troops, neither of which the President would provide directly. Chennault was able to organize a volunteer group of 300 fighter pilots and ground crew to pose as tourists on their visas who were simply adventurers, mercenaries and unorthodox pilots who didn’t fit in well with the regimented control of military life. Roosevelt was finally able to send 100 P-40B Tomahawk aircraft because an order scheduled for Great Britain was cancelled. The Tomahawk was considered inferior in flight performance against German fighters. So China was getting from the United States 100 airplanes that nobody wanted, pilots and ground crew that were too undisciplined to serve in the armed forces, to fight a massive, highly organized enemy that ranged in the tens of thousands. The odds stacked against these soldiers of fortune were daunting.

The American Volunteer Group to my mind was no different from the privateers of the golden age of pirates. They were paid to kill and harass the enemy, the Japanese. The deal for the AVG pilots was a one-year contract with CAMCO to “manufacture, repair, and operate aircraft” at salaries ranging from $250 to $750 a month. Traveling expenses, thirty days leave with pay quarters, and $30 additional for rations were specified. The Chinese government paid $500 for each confirmed Japanese plane destroyed in the air or on the ground. An AGV pilot who strafed a Japanese airfield could become a very rich man since planes caught on a runway counted toward the bonus.

When Pearl Harbor was bombed it was the Flying Tigers who struck first, because they were the only group in position to act once war was declared. Under Claire Chennault the Flying Tigers maintained an extraordinarily high kill ratio of 40 to 1 against the enemy which was remarkable and they continued to have success being all that stood between Japan taking over China with ground occupation for over 6 months being desperately outnumbered. The AVG had virtually no backup supplies and had to repair their P-40’s with scrap material found in the local villages.

As usual, the government as a whole was way behind the curve regarding military action and once seeing how popular, and effective the AVG was sought to incorporate them into the military.  The AVG successes were not due to the brilliance of a single mind in Washington, and truthfully, if not for the work of The Flying Tigers the military may never have been able to win World War II.  Without capturing momentum in the Pacific the war in Europe would have been hopeless, and to a large extent it was General Patton who helped turn the tide there, another unconventional general who was brash, bold, and combative.  It could be argued that if General Chennault had been given command of the Pacific theater, there may have never been a need for an atomic bomb.  If Chennault had just a few more resources, he might have crushed Japan two years earlier.  It was the genius of a few who won the war.  It was the government looters who cost thousands upon thousands of lives.  Even when the AVG was brought into the official military operations under General Stilwell where General Chennault and Stilwell fought daily, Stilwell insisted on making life for Chennault a living hell because he was jealous of Chennault’s talents, so Stilwell purposely withheld supplies to Chennault’s group, which seriously compromised the strategic interests of China. But Chennault succeeded anyway in spite of the terrible working conditions and overwhelming odds.

The AVG proved to be superior pilots not just against the enemy but among other Americans. Tex Hill would become one of the most spectacular and amazing pilots of World War II. His war record which started on the dirt runways of the Flying Tigers would last through impossible odds till the end of the war.

The saw-toothed mouths put fear into the enemy in similar tactics that made the Pirates of the Caribbean so successful 300 years earlier as fortune hunters and warriors in search of their personal fortunes fought in the skies over China. And along the way the Flying Tigers saved China from Japanese occupation long enough to choke Japan of resources allowing the US Navy to gain a foothold in the Pacific and eventually overtake Japan. In many ways it was General Chennault and his heroic volunteer pilots who won the war against Japan.

I learned from the Flying Tigers that it’s not always the strongest, the fastest, the most technologically superior who wins. In the end it’s the one who thinks they can who wins because the Flying Tigers were not the greatest airplanes. The pilots were not the best trained in the highest education institutions. And it wasn’t money, because there wasn’t any money, except the bonuses paid by the Chinese government to the pilots. The United States wasn’t able to send supplies to the Flying Tigers during the entire war. The Flying Tigers were great because of the swagger they flew with and their ability to be self-reliant.

My wife and I had the fortune recently to watch a P-40 airplane being restored at the War Bird Museum in Clermont County. It was a privilege to crawl around the inside of one of the sacred P-40’s from the Flying Tiger era that I adore so much. Because to me, the P-40 is the superior plane from the World War II period not because of its performance, but because it flew like the pilots themselves, it was not uncommon for P-40’s to return home after running out of gas and sputtering miraculously on fumes for impossible distances, or being shot up with so many holes that staying in the air seemed impossible. The P-40’s seemed to behave like the pilots who flew them. It was a pleasure to touch the metal and feel the spirit of one of these majestic planes up close, and to associate with the people who were restoring every last bolt of a P-40 so that it can roam the skies again.

And that is the lesson for our age and what we can learn from our heroes of the past. The pretentious rulers of government were just as foolish then as they are now. General Stilwell purposely put an entire country at risk because he disliked General Chennault. President Roosevelt failed to pull the trigger early enough to officially assist China and push against communism before they had gathered enough strength to kill many more lives in the war that became World War II. And the United States Navy was lost until it managed to study the tactics of General Chennault and began to use some of the former Flying Tiger pilots to help train their other pilots on how to defeat the Japanese in the air. But the moment the war was over; President Truman left China to fend for itself and pulled out all United States support. This allowed communism to take over China and cause 60 years of terror from a former ally. It is because of this act that we had the Korean War and the war in Southeast Asia.

The construction of my soapbox derby car was my small homage to Claire Chennault and his Flying Tigers because to me they represent everything that makes America the greatest country on earth. Americans aren’t great because we have technologically superior firepower. We are not great because we have good universities. We are not great because we have infinite supplies of food, water, and other resources. Americans are great who still understand how to think outside-the-box and can fix a shot up fuel line with bubble gum and are willing to fly into the enemy with a damaged plan that is out of bullets, out of gas, and out of luck, and rip through the enemy plane because the steel in the P-40 is made of stronger stuff than the enemy. The enemy is crushed, and the American comes home miraculously, because in the science of probability, it flies by sheer willpower to return home to fly again. And when that American puts their boots in the dusty soil of a foreign runway, a $500 bonus is put into their pockets and once they wash off all the blood and the plane is repaired, they’ll go up again to shoot up the enemy and collect $500 more for as long as they can breathe air in their lungs.

Every day when I step into my garage I pay homage to my version of those Flying Tigers by saluting my soapbox derby car as it hangs from my ceiling. That saw-toothed mouth grins at me and cries out to “GO GET EM.’” That car still looks as good today as it did when it tore down the hill behind Fort Hamilton Hospital in the quest for victory in a race that attracted the attention of all of Hamilton on that hot summer day. And as the crowd cheered at the spectacle my mind was not on them, but on the heroes of the Flying Tigers and the honor I felt to pay homage to them in the heroics of sport. Like the P-40’s of another time, my soapbox still sits perched from high above my garage and gazes down waiting to be called into war once again, and if not physically in the war, it can teach a new generation how to taste the blood of an enemy and become hungry for its nutrients when the times dictate such action. Because these times are no different from those times, the only things that differ are the names of the characters and the dates for which they occur.

As an added bonus to all you have read here and wish to know more than the text, videos and pictures above have revealed, feel free to grab some pop corn and the beverage of your choice and watch the great John Wayne classic, The Flying Tigers released by Republic Pictures in 1942 with John Wayne playing loosely the part of Claire Chennault in a film that the nation needed to see at the time.  I have included it below to make it easy for you to see!  Because at that time there wasn’t any good news to be had after Pearl Harbor except what the Flying Tigers were doing. And this film will give you a wonderful perspective of what the America was like then that made greatness a commodity that was the envy of the world. Because of that jealousy, the communists have attempted a less direct attack on our culture which we are currently experiencing. Just click the movie and enjoy the entire thing, and soak up what America is supposed to be so you can learn how to make it so again.

Who is Roger Tallblocke: UK Police seize computers from a blogger–America’s future in action

Want a sneak peek into the future of socialism in America? England is about 20 years ahead of the United States politically and just a few short days ago police raided a bloggers home in the United Kingdom and confiscated his computers because he wrote about an issue called Climategate. You can read about that story here:

http://wattsupwiththat.com/2011/12/14/uk-police-seize-computers-of-skeptic-in-england/

After the police took Roger Tallbloke’s computers from his home after knocking on his door with a search warrant and arriving with 6 officers, they gathered up his computers and later informed him that he was not a suspect of anything. They would clone his computer hard drives and return them to him. Isn’t that nice?

http://tallbloke.wordpress.com/2011/12/14/tallbloke-towers-raided-many-computers-taken/#comment-10917

Tallblocke is a blogger who covers a lot of science information and apparently the greenie weenies of Europe do not like the facts he’s putting out, so they came up with a search warrant, took his computers and harassed him to the furthest extent of their laws. This story is proof that if there are laws on the books that allow for law enforcement to impose itself upon a population, then they certainly will. England has never enjoyed the kind of freedoms that we have in America, so this kind of behavior may not seem too appalling to most Europeans but they certainly are to those of us who live in America. And we must be cautious of any politician who professes that they wish to make America more like Europe, because what happened to Roger Tallblocke is not acceptable under any circumstances, and is the destination if America follows.

Yet that is what is going on in America. Politicians seem to desire with great lust to send us all into European care once again after leaving that socially stagnate, pretentious cesspool over 200 years ago to fight for freedom, become the most dominant economic powerhouse on the planet with a relatively small country, only to give all that back again and join the European Union under the political affiliation of socialism, because in England the Labour Party is in essence the representative of Socialist International. The recent NDAA Act that passed the American Senate overwhelmingly to allow the military and police to apprehend Americans indefinitely comes from the same mentality of European law.

It is the political platform of the Labour Party to endorse all the “green initiatives” and hijacked sciences as a way to spread socialism to every country on earth. That is their goal. And there are many politicians addicted to power who seek to make a living as part of the political ruling class who openly embrace socialism as the wave of the future. It doesn’t matter to those power-hungry looters that socialism stagnates economic growth and limits the spirit of its people into something that is best resembled in history by The Dark Ages. The ruling class will always have money, so the condition of the rest of society is a trivial matter that they don’t consider.

In America our academic types are notorious for their desire to return to the motherland of Europe, to the age of Victorians. Barack Obama is one of those academic types. It is easy to see how his mind works as he travels extensively and quite elegantly on the tax payer dime to do very little as a manager of the country’s affairs simply to campaign for his next election. His wife has shown a tendency to embrace the role of a queen. Her vacations are extravagant and her personal staff is exquisite.

By the way, Socialist International is currently the dominate government in Spain. Check out the map of countries that are under the influence of that particular group.

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2011/12/02/socialist-international-bringing-an-end-to-america-as-we-know-it-by-design/

America was never supposed to be a land where politicians sought to make a living in politics. America was never supposed to be a land where lawyers who spent a lot of money on becoming a lawyer and failed in private practice used public office to enrich themselves by writing laws that nobody understood so they would be required to translate those obscure laws. America was meant to have politicians who served a term or two and would then retire back to the world from which they came turning over the reins of government to someone else who would sacrifice their time and wisdom to a term of public service.

I was recently at an event with John Kasich and I spoke with people there who have put their names on some bold legislation that many Rhino Republicans have deemed will put an end to John Kasich’s political career. To those who say such things I say, “What makes you think John Kasich as governor of Ohio wishes to run for governor again? Why would he? I wouldn’t.” The very presumption that a politician should have a “career” in politics is the first and most devastating black flag that an electorate should consider when evaluating a potential candidate. NO POLITICIAN should seek an office to become wealthy, secure, or even use it as a networking tool as a lobbyist once their term is done. Such people are just low quality citizens who function in only one service, and that is machine politics. And machine politics does not want a representative republic that votes members out every election cycle. Machine politics desires candidates that can hold their seats so one party can dominate another party in what becomes something more reminiscent of a football game, not a meeting of logic and philosophy.
Machine politics on both sides is attracted to socialism because in socialism there is a place for a ruling elite. Obama clearly sees himself this way, and most members of the House and Senate do as well. Most academics feel that they are the illuminated populace that Plato spoke about in The Republic and it is they who must use their minds to rule the masses. So socialism is for these types, which are as numerous as the stars in a desert sky.

That is the reason the politicians are attempting to push American in the direction of Europe. They desire to keep their power indefinitely so that they are sheltered from the real world with an insulation of invented nobility. That future is not shrouded in secrecy, with unknown elements. We know how socialism has affected other countries, and they are not nearly as prosperous as the United States has been. There is no mystery as to that destination and we are headed there.

Recently the school in my community hired a new superintendent who specializes in Global Education. She promoted this benefit to the residents of our community as though it were a positive thing. But what it really means is that she plans to continue a stronger agenda of teaching socialism in our public schools so that the children we send to her will learn and be ready for the world of tomorrow that politicians like Obama are giving us, by handing America back to Europe like a child who ran away from home and was caught again by the authorities to be dropped back off to their mother to be punished for their youthful rebellion.

With the passage of NDAA, Net Neutrality, Health Care, more commitments to Medicare and the money eating public education system, America will very soon become the place where a simple blogger will receive a visit from the police to have their possessions confiscated, analyzed, and returned only by the discretion of the police state. And we will have this lack of freedom for the simple reason that the politicians we elected into service did not understand the Constitution of the United States and instead sought European refuge for a fruitful career as a ruling elite.

Crosstown Shootout Violence: A quandary of entertainment and tyranny

It was just announced today December 15, 2011 that President Obama will sign the NDAA Bill with the more severe language of indefinite detention and torture of American citizens and as I stared at that little bit of data it solidified in my mind a nagging thought that I have had about the general population of America being functionally illiterate and intentionally breed through public education to be complacent and easy to conquer. There have been times that I have wondered about the frequent reports that the Department of Education was infiltrated by the KGB in the early 80’s and the KGB even had President Kennedy’s ear, and that communism was brought to America by our enemies and embedded into our education system and political structure. Such things sound like conspiracy theories uttered by lunatics and derelicts. Yet there is no other explanation of the utter disregard the American people have for being conquered while their eyes watch the act wide out in the open. After all, such things as the House and Senate conspiring with the president to throw Americans in jail and torture them while those same bodies of government cannot agree on the Keystone pipeline, or a balance budget amendment to me represent an open declaration of war against everything that it means to be an American and our enemies are not in some far away land, but sit in our own political offices. But those are not the news highlights that catch people’s attention and get discussed. Instead, people all across the country are consumed with talk about the Cross-town Shootout, the yearly rival game between the University of Cincinnati and Xavier and the fight that broke out at the end of the game this last Saturday.

I listened with some degree of awe to a relieved population when they learned that formal charges would not be filed against the participants of these fights after that annual game. There was talk about what the universities represented, and that fighting of this kind was not appropriate. There was talk about how grown adults who are alumni of these institutions would have to put blinders on to their loyalty and hold these cases to the rule of law as though such a thing would be difficult.  (BEWARE OF THOSE TWO HEADED SNAKES WHO PREACH VALOR IN BATTLE THEN PREACH PACIFISM WHEN VIOLENCE BREAKS OUT)

There were public admissions from the players that they did not represent the values of the universities and that they acted inappropriately in embarrassing those respective colleges.

I had to scratch my head. Why was any of this important? How did the news of this fight in college sports take precedence over the very big news emerging globally and in our nation’s capital? It doesn’t. I realized listening to the various news coverage over the last 5 days that the system built-in America using our education system to utterly destroy American culture was completely successful in taking even the very basic elements of sports and turning them on their head in a moments notice to shape the opinions of the masses in a controlled manner. So let me explain where the masses have gone wrong in this matter.

I like sports as much if not more so than most people. I have become so infuriated by sports outcomes that don’t go my way that I have thrown televisions across the room and through living room windows. My temper is legendary when it comes to this issue of anger and sports, and some might say that I have anger issues. I would say to them, I’m not the idiot who has openly embraced socialism in my culture and been pushed around year by year till all my freedom is gone while the appeasers tell me not to be violent, to turn the other cheek. No, I’ll say the same to you dear reader now that I told the pastor of my church when I was growing up and he attempted to counsel me upon my parents request to be less violent. “Jesus turned the other cheek, and so should you.”

I replied, “Yeah, he did, and look what happened to him.”

“But he died for your sins.”

“Yes, and the Christians were fed to the lions and the evil Roman Empire went on to rule for another few hundred years. Pacifism doesn’t work. It hasn’t worked for Christianity; it hasn’t worked for Tibet as the Chinese communists have maliciously killed them for years. And I’d go so far to say it didn’t work for Ghandi or Nelson Mandela in South Africa. Going to prison for over 20 years or starving in a jail or being nailed to a cross are not valiant uses of my personal time, and I won’t be partaking in that activity.”

“May God have mercy on your soul and forgive your judgments.”

“He has, he gave me the ambition to fight evil and see through the masks that use judgment to hide their true intentions. I consider it a gift from God that I intend to use fully.”

So with that qualifier I like sports and I like violence. I like to see the teams I root for play cleanly, to play hard and with passion. But when an injustice is done, I like to see my favorite players stick up for themselves. To date, I loved it when Warren Sapp of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers skipped through the opposing teams practice kicking down the pylons in the end zone. And back in the day I was a tremendous supporter of UC Basketball in the era of Bob Huggins and my favorite player then and to this very day in all of basketball was number 21 Melvin Levitt.

Once when I was playing softball I head butted the catcher as I was stealing home from third base and a fight erupted because I had scored a point. This game was a nothing game, no money, no professional reputation, it was just two companies against each other, and blood was spilled in trying to win. That’s part of sports. Bob Huggins coached the way I expected a head basketball coach to coach, and Melvin Levitt played the way I would have if I had the ability to play at that level. Mel Levitt’s nickname was The Helicopter because even though he was only 6’2” he was able to dunk the basketball from well above the rim. He could jump in an almost superhuman way, and when he got hot from the outside, he could hit the three pointer. Levitt is the guy who jumps over the three ball racks for a dunk!

I will never in my life forget the epic game when UC beat Duke University in the Great Alaskan Shootout. It was one of the most exciting games I’ve ever seen, and it was a dunk by Melvin Levitt that sealed the game with no time on the clock. Duke at that time was number one in the country and had 5 All Americans sitting on the bench not even playing, so they were loaded as far as talent. UC beating Duke was an epic tale of David versus Goliath. It was a HUGE win for UC.

Later that year when Mel Levitt played in their version of the Cross-town Shootout with Xavier, when UC was about to win Mel Levitt made a controversial motion with his hand that indicated they had just cut the head off of Xavier University which people thought was in bad taste, but most of the protestors where Xavier fans. UC fans loved the action because deep inside all of us is a blood lust that knows victory is secure when you conquer the will of your opponent.

Now here it is years later and the bad blood between UC and Xavier has boiled for many years stirred up by the media, both schools helped fuel that animosity because they know that sports is how they recruit new students to their institutions. National coverage of the Shootout means high enrollment, and controversy ensures that ESPN will cover the game year after year, because such animosity is good for ratings, because that’s what people want to see.

I’m surprised this Cross-town Shootout hasn’t erupted into violence before this year, because it is that tenuous. But this year, once the violence happened, I am surprised that so many people are upset by the violence. What did they think was going to happen? What did they think was going to happen with all the tension put on that game year after year? I mean Xavier had the game won by over 20 points in the closing minutes of the game and Xavier had all it’s starters in the game to show that it had its foot on the throat of UC. Xavier was going in for the kill, which angered the UC players. So a fight broke out because there was a lot of pride on the line.

The real hypocrisy of our day was revealed in the wake of that historic shootout game between UC and Xavier Universities. The two schools got what they were looking for, a game that people will return to watch next year with great ratings. A sporting event that distracted everyone’s attention for an afternoon and made the parents who are paying extraordinarily high tuition rates for these schools feel some sense of pride in the value of their investment. If the parents can’t see how the college education they are investing in will help their child in the future, they at least get the sense of being a part of the great battle between two rival schools.

But the greater static pattern of the intentions behind higher education is to teach pacifism and socialism to the participants so that the American people can be easily conquered by enemies who are embedded into our society. The universities are in the quandary of needing the violence of competition to help sell their product to the public, but their real intention is to weaken our society so it will fall under the umbrella of UN control.

Saying such a thing is not a stretch of credibility. When President Woodrow Wilson former president of Princeton University proposed the League of Nations, the American people who were rugged individualists rejected Wilson’s idea, and the wrath of anger from the voting public was taken out on Governor Cox of Ohio when he sought the presidency after Wilson and was voted down largely because he supported a League of Nations concept under the endorsement of Wilson. Americans didn’t want to be a part of such a thing. Now, only 100 years later, Americans are ready to accept the idea of a United Nations because they have been taught in public school and college that America’s future is in a unification with Europe and a gradual acceptance of European Socialism. We were also taught to look at pacifists who use hunger strikes and non-violent protests of Civil Disobedience to express our displeasure. The reason is so that our resistance and strategy to that resistance will be fundamentally wrong, allowing an enemy to win over us in victory, and yes America has many enemies.

To demonstrate this idea so it can be clearly seen remember when Barack Obama ran his first campaign protesting against the violence and torture in Guantanamo Bay but today is on the cusp of signing into law the NDAA act that allows for the torture of American people? Don’t you see what is happening? Is it not on the wall for all to see? Is it not as obvious as the computer screen in front of you? Can’t you reach out and touch it so you can know in your mind that it’s real?

Face it, your education institutions even when they use violence and sports to help unify the minds of their alumni, faculty, and students the true intention is to undo the American mind into something that can be controlled. That was the objective from the outset of the twentieth century and it holds today and can be heard in the apologies of the players for both schools and the coaches. Because the static patterns of the institutions themselves have pushed back against the dynamic of sports by reclaiming pacifism as the goal of the institutions. The goal of sports is to win. The goal of a battle is to win. The goal of an act of strategy is to defeat your opponent and if violence breaks out, it’s part of the deal. The goal of higher education is not to win however, it’s to make mush out of the minds of the participants, and to reprogram them into pacifists who can be conquered quickly by the forces of existence who desire to rule the world. The goal of college is not enlightenment; otherwise so many people who graduate would not be so stupid. Believe me, I’ve been there, I know. I actually lived on the campus of UC for a number of years and I know what it’s like. I know many professors and their political beliefs. I know who runs what and what their intentions are. Those personalities are who sit in the boxes at the Cross-town Shootout and hope that nobody notices what they are really after. They hope and pray every day of their lives that people will just keep their eyes on the scoreboard, on the stats of their favorite players and that the violence of competition stays within the acceptable parameters to feed the blood lust of the public just enough to keep the money flowing and the entertainment value high without compromising the strategy of International Socialism for which they are completely committed to. If you have any doubt of that, click this link:

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2011/12/02/socialist-international-bringing-an-end-to-america-as-we-know-it-by-design/

Yes, while I enjoyed the exploits of Mel Levitt from over a decade ago, the stats from those games mean nothing now. And the energy spent watching those games are something I will never get back. So it I allowed myself to use my time on those activities where it diverted me from learning what’s going on elsewhere, I would have committed a sin to the nation. But I didn’t. I enjoyed sports as an entertainment venue that is here one moment, and gone the next. But I can see that a majority of the masses out there cannot do this, they allow their minds to become distracted by these sports while enemies have moved against us, and now our freedom is threatened by a government who can’t balance a budget, is trying to kill our economy by not approving new energy sources, and is openly creating law to arrest and torture American citizens. Instead our attention is on whether or not UC should have engaged in a fight with Xavier and whether or not charges should be filed against the players.

What a quandary!

H.B. 136 in Ohio: The bottle caps of productivity

As I attended the Lakota School Board meeting on Monday December 12, 2011 and listened to the pain that the superintendent and board members uttered in their displeasure over H.B. 136 which looks to go to a vote in Columbus early in 2012, the more I realized that every American citizen in the United States should be required to read the book Atlas Shrugged before graduating high school, so they can have a basic understanding of how things work in the world, and how monopolies not only in business, but in government are detrimental to growth both economic and personal. I genuinely felt sorry for these board members and administrators who must watch as their failed perceptions of reality are coming unraveled right in front of their faces. H.B. 136 is the ambitious new bill proposed in March 1st of 2011 by Majority Floor Leader Matt Huffman which extends the school voucher program to parents whose household income is less than $95,000 a year, and will allow them to receive the money from the state to take to the school of their choice. The reason why this is a big deal is because for the first time, the money intended to educate a child will go straight to the child instead of to the school in their district. This is intended to bring about an environment of competition so that all schools can increase their performance and allow parents to choose where they want to send their children to school without having to move from their homes to a new residence in a different district, which is an extreme hardship and prohibitive expense to parents all over Ohio.

The reason I thought of Atlas Shrugged is because the world has unlimited potential not only in education, but energy, finance, health care development, food supply, virtually every conceivable topic, there is a virtual unlimited ceiling to what can be accomplished, and that’s the basic premise behind the classic novel Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. It is in the empires that humans build that hold back and create the limits that imprison emotionally our entire population, and the reason the Lakota School Board was upset over H.B. 136 is because the part of the education empire that they control is being taken out of their hands. I wish I could explain to them that they need to change their focus onto a much broader intellectual perspective and see that it isn’t the limits of finance, or any other research that is holding back our society. Its people like them, which is exhibited wonderfully in the film THRIVE. You can see a preview of that fantastic film here:

Listening to the details of H.B. 136 in Ohio there isn’t much to be upset about if you are a parent. In short if a family of 4 making up to $100,000 a year they will qualify for $2,313 in voucher funds for their child to send them to the school of their choice. A family of 4 who is making up to $61,000 a year would be eligible for a voucher worth $4,626. Families’ in-between would be awarded amounts equitable on a sliding scale somewhere in between those values. That’s a great option for families across the board in Ohio.

However, the Lakota School Board estimated that if everyone in the district who qualified for a scholarship left Lakota for a different school such as Mason, or Fairfield then Lakota stood to lose up to $12 million dollars per year in potential funding which would wreck their funding projections. The superintendent for Lakota suggested that she was against H.B. 136 for the simple reason that she didn’t want to see the taxpayers of Lakota cover the loss in income that would be caused by the passage of that bill.

WHAT???????

Who says that the taxpayers are going to cover the loss in any income? Because we’re not going to. Lakota isn’t the only school expected to see operating deficits with the implementation of HB 136. Mentor Schools report they could lose $5.1 million, and Cardon Schools report they could lose $475,000 annually. The trouble with this thinking is that public schools in their education empire have become dependent on state money and have negotiated very large and lucrative contracts with the teachers unions that benefited the employees, not the kids who attend the school. As it is currently designed school funding in Ohio is to the benefit of the labor unions, and not the parents who pay the taxes. The sheer ignorance in suggesting that the tax payers would be required to cover the loss in revenue with a tax increase is absolutely preposterous.

At Lakota after the third levy defeat in just 18 months the tax payers approved a budget during the last election. They told the district in voting no for the proposed tax increase of a 4.75 mill levy that the budget as it stands is all the money the school is going to get, which is $1,140 per $100,000 of property value assessment. That means that the superintendent of Lakota is required to go to the employees of the district and give them their budget limit and it’s up to those employees to figure out how to live within those parameters. The tail does not wag the dog, the dog wags the tail, but in government-run monopolies, it is the tail that controls the dog apparently, which is why they fail in everything they do.

H.B. 136 seeks to take control back from these monopolies for the benefit of kids and parents all over Ohio. It is the burden of the schools and education profession in general to figure out how they can adjust to these changes. It is not for the duty of the government monopolies such as education to use a socialist philosophy to benefit the employees. It is the employees job to fulfill the requirements of those who employee them. Not the job of the employer to make sure the employees are comfortable and happy and eternally contented so they can retire in luxury.

Not so long ago I had a real ball busting president of a company that I worked directly for who was very upset with my management style. He was one of those guys who believed that rule through fear was the way to go. If you ever saw the film Bad Bosses, he was every single character in that movie. Needless to say I did my own thing anyway, in spite of his attempt to mold my management style into his way of thinking. My style is to utilize the talents of people and their natural inclinations to always find new innovations so that more production can be produced constantly getting faster and faster until a dimensioning marginal return is reached in increases in quality rejections. This particular president enjoyed my innovations because they made the company a lot of money, but at a certain point when that marginal return was reached, he being a typical politician and a looter at heart sought to take credit for my innovations as though he had thought of them and he needed my endorsement to allow him to do so. Typically, such an endorsement is the quiet compliance of admission that he was my superior, which he wasn’t. He might have out ranked me in the orientation of the company, but he did not equal me in intellectual capacity and strategy, so there was no reason I would yield my ground to a human inferior. But to his way of thinking the issue was a pecking order type of thing that would move me up the ladder if I just played the game, which I had no interest in.

When fear, intimidation, and manipulation had no effect on me with the intention to force me to yield to his position which was purely ornamental and I failed to get into line where he sought to place me, in sheer frustration he demanded of me in his office, “Mr. Hoffman, you think you are so smart, you think you are such a know-it all, you are so smug. But you don’t know a damn thing about management. How do you know you are a good manager?”

I replied to him, “When I’ve eliminated my job. When efficiencies and production requirements no longer require my day-to-day attention, and it’s time to lose my job, that’s when I know I’ve done a good job.”

He gapped at me for a long minute in fury then became genuinely inquisitive. “Then what will you do for a living?”

I replied, “I’ll write another book. I’ll start another business. Maybe I’ll do some work in films. I’ll think of something.”

The meeting ended quickly after that because the president of the company realized that fear would not work with me and that left him with an empty gun. And many politicians use the same tactics, fear in order to create a power structure and pecking order of socialism where if an employee pays their dues, they will find a healthy wage in the second half of their lives and a great retirement. The superintendent of Lakota was essentially doing the same thing that the president of the company I was referring to had done, and that’s use the fear of tax increases to attempt to maneuver parental support of H.B. 136 to the negative. She was planting a seed that she hoped the newspapers would pick up and carry on to the greater community in an attempt to protect the education empire that she is one of the great benefactors and leaders. So she is one of those who would have fallen in line to the kind of man I was talking about as a president so that at some future time she might be in the power position. And the current superintendent is protecting that empire for those under her that are hoping they too will someday have the chance to sit in her seat.

If the goal is not to protect your job however, and to always improve year after year in a never-ending change of careers openly accepting the adventure of living then you will obtain the ability to see clearly that the world is full of possibilities if people would only have the courage to look beyond their personal comforts to how the world could be.

The empire building that goes on in the oil industry, or the education industry, or the health care industry wish with every essence of their beings to maintain the status quo so that they can aim for a retirement at some point in their futures. Their short-sighted vision is damaging to the future of the human race, and those participants are like bottle caps that hold society into a bottle so not to let out the contents to the larger world outside the bottle. If more people had read Atlas Shrugged earlier in their lives, they might have different static patterns not rooted in socialism and institutions built to protect employees, but instead be committed to the type of innovations shown in the film THRIVE, which is in essence what the novel Atlas Shrugged is all about.

H.B. 136 is one of those bills that will bring to the field of education over time new innovations, cheaper per pupil costs, and much higher education results for our children by putting the money in the hands of the parents and not the empires of education. Yes, H.B. 136 will break up the monopolies of education, but that will only be bad for the employees who will have to make the adjustments to the new way of doing things. It doesn’t mean those employees will be cast into the streets jobless. But it means that they will have to make new adjustments to their lives to stay competitive. They will only suffer if they refuse to accept the changes because if the world was allowed to progress in the manner of the film THRIVE or Atlas Shrugged, then jobs would be created for everyone, the value of money would increase and purchasing power would also go up, and the amount of money that citizens would be required to make to have a good standard of living would decrease, which is to everyone’s benefit. It is the government monopolies and financial empires who stand in the way of human existence; it’s not a lack of resources. But before society can have these wonders the general education of our people must increase 100 fold from what it currently is, which is simply a system rooted in an idea of socialism that is over 150 years old. And that is not acceptable.

We can do much, much better than that.

Presidential Executive Orders that Embrace Tyranny: Kings who wish to destroy the Constitution

Why are politicians so interested in appeasing the middle class? Dear reader, don’t you ever contemplate such things? Why not? Can’t you see that the reason is that those who wish to rule you desire to keep you stupid, un-ambitious and comfortably complacent? I was thinking these thoughts as I sat through a school board meeting with my fellow neighbors. The room was packed with people standing along the back wall because the seats were all full. The reason was that the school board was giving out awards to these middle class parents and they were at the meeting to take pictures and clap at the success of their children as they received these awards. The school board handed out the awards at the beginning of the meeting, and once the ceremony was over 2/3 of the entire audience left leaving the rest of us pot marked throughout the seating area and greatly reduced. That’s when I thought, “This is what is wrong with America.” Those parents, who received their award, took their pictures then left to go home and watch TV once their individual child received their award and missed the important part of the meeting that followed, the discussion about school funding, the debate over House Bill 136, and the retirement of several administrators. The middle class parents are a selfish lot that focused only on their small existence, and I partially blame 100 years of progressive politics for this condition.

Many people in that middle-class I believe have been intentionally dumbed down, made careless, apathetic and short-sighted by the static patterns they have been introduced to which begins in public education, is solidified in cultural reference in entertainment media, and reinforced through their peer groups. The reason for this intentional middle-class is to allow for an oligarchy (rule by the few), to openly loot that same middle and lower classes of their wealth and ambition. In short, the reason for creating a middle-class was the same as it always has been, it is for the creation of a ruling class to stand over subordinates.

 

Now over times like where we are now, these looters of government have known that a day or reckoning will come when that middle-class realizes that they have been duped while they took pictures of their children and clapped at their small achievements. That is why presidents for most of the last hundred years have created executive orders to protect the ruling political class from the backlash of the looted middle and lower classes. Executive orders by a president allow for them to act as kings, without the checks and balances of congress or the senate and to bypass the controls of the republic for which the United States stands. The political class has openly looted the American people for many years and they have made plans to protect themselves from the day of reckoning when it happens.
The shocking attempt by the government to make it possible using “terrorism” as an excuse to protect the political ruling class from the wrath of the America people by passing the NDAA act is extremely obvious and is the final nail in a coffin that has been slowly built with a series of presidential executive orders for generations. To review how serious this NDAA law is refer to this link:

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2011/12/13/remember-the-ruby-ridge-massacre-atf-openly-plots-against-the-constitution/
So for your convenience I am providing you with the complete list of Executive Orders that specifically allows FEMA to rip up the Constitution and put in place the kind of arrests that NDAA justifies. Watch this video for a summery of these orders and what they do.

 

To my understanding, President Nixon eliminated many of these, but as you can see, it would take nothing to resurrect them by a President like Barack Obama or some other future president. The language of these executive orders was written once, most of them by President Kennedy in 1962, over tensions of nuclear war and the trouble with the Cuban Missile Crises. As history shows, there will always be justification for panicky, womanizing presidents to overreact to danger and issue executive orders because they lack the intellectual capacity to uphold the Constitution. The tragedy is that whether or not the president is aware of it or not the government as an organized monopoly is fully able to manufacture the very tragedies that can cause the necessity of “martial law” as spelled out in the language of these executive orders. The Federal Reserve can cause a financial collapse that could give the government complete power over the American people without the protection of the Constitution. We know currently that Cass Sunstein following the plan in his book NUDGE is nudging us all through federal regulation into the direction of socialism, and those who resist could easily be swept up under NDAA and removed from society because they live in a “war zone.” Every area that has Wall Street Protestors could qualify as such a zone. The same groups who are creating the chaos of protestors are the same people who visit the White House each week to whisper in the Presidents ear on what to do, the progressive labor unions. So it is clear that we are in a very dangerous situation and it appears that no member of our current government is trustworthy. There may be a few isolated individuals, but as an entity, it appears that the federal government is already quite tyrannical, and operating as an oligarchy. So with that in mind, please take the time to view the below executive orders and read the language that was created once and could be created again within an afternoon, and realize that your freedom can be taken by a president who wishes to be king, and not president. In my opinion only one president in the last 150 years has acted the way the Constitution intended and that is Calvin Coolidge. The rest have simply been looters, thieves, and would-be-kings.

Before we end here and to fathom just how powerful these executive orders are, consider that it was Executive Order 10988 that gave labor unions the right to organize with public employees which has been covered heavily at this site and has led to many of our modern budget problems and corruption in the political body. You can read that executive order here and follow the money trail to organized crime, which Kennedy was very involved with.

How does that make you feel America? How long will you allow yourself to be ruled? Because the Constitution gives you the right to rule the rulers. So when do you plan to use it?

Remember the Ruby Ridge Massacre: ATF OPENLY PLOTS AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION

In the clip below Alex Jones speaks with Floyd Mori about how history does repeat itself when it was recently discovered that FEMA camps have already been built to arrest American citizens in conjunction with the bill passed by the house and senate known as NDAA. Floyd discusses how the Japanese were taken during World War II under a similar premise so perspective can be given to just how devastating the NDAA Bill is for American freedom. For a review of what NDAA is please refer to this link:

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2011/12/06/throw-every-senator-who-voted-for-s-1867-ndaa-out-of-office-rule-by-fools/

An update from that linked article about that NDAA Act where it was believed that The White House was threatening to veto the Act, arguing that “the authorities granted by the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists, including the detention authority, are essential to our ability to protect the American people…because the authorities codified in this section already exist, the Administration does not believe codification is necessary and poses some risk.”

On December 11th, 2011 it was learned that it was President Obama who required the NDAA bill have the language of ‘U.S. CItizens being held without rights’ included in the bill.  The bill will pass if it goes in front of the President for his signature, which will be a catastrophe of epic tyranny and will lead to everything you will see below.  So make sure to take your time and watch all these videos.  It’s very important.  This is no conspiracy theory.  What you will read and see are facts that require EXTENSIVE explanations by our government in every branch and both political parties. 

The targets of the next sweep of Americans will of course be people like Alex Jones, myself, and virtually anybody who stands in the way of the governments intended strategy. I can report honestly that there will never be a FEMA officer who will come to my front door and arrest me and take my whole family away to be thrown into a camp. I remember well what happy to Randy Weaver at Ruby Ridge so I am aware of what the government will do when they decide to act, and I will not be naive in thinking that I will be reunited with my family if I go peacefully to a FEMA camp. More on this in a bit, but for now, make sure to watch this video.

And what is this mindset that we have to fear from the government? Well, Glenn Beck shows it in great abundance as he picks apart a recent speech by President Obama. Yes, Glenn Beck is certainly one of the first targets that will be arrested, so while he still can, he is speaking more freely than ever on what is wrong with our current government and why they should in no way be given ANY power over our individual lives and liberties. Government simply is not qualified to make decisions about our lives.

Obama says things in this next clip that surprise even me. It is very evident that now the government of both republicans and democrats is aware that most of the American population is sufficiently distracted by numerous elements and do not care, or do not have the intellectual capacity to understand what is happening. But Obama shows what his vision for America truly is by declaring that all jobs should be unionized more or less, and that technology should not be allowed to destroy jobs. The America that Obama wants is a frozen technological existence where job creation and preservation take utmost priority. The belief system of this president is utterly preposterous.

You can easily see by that speech Obama would have no problem arresting anyone who stands in the way of his political aims which are to move America to open socialism. That is why the NDAA is such a dangerous proposal, and is considered to be open warfare upon the entire idea of what an American is.

When my wife and I were first married I ran a gunsmithing shop in a small shed behind my house. I had a Federal Firearms License and was starting what I thought might be a long career as a gunsmith. I envisioned for myself and family a life similar to what is shown on the TV show Sons of Guns where I’d have the ability to build and fire a whole multitude of firearms. And business was good there was a lot of money to be made. I saw quite a demand for gunsmithing and I took a two your course where I graduated from Modern Schools of America out of Arizona with a degree in gunsmithing. But one thing greatly disturbed me about that business, and it was the paperwork I had to keep up with and submit for every transaction with the ATF, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Because of my beliefs in small government I anticipated trouble on the horizon if my name was all over documents always going to the government, George Bush Senior was president at the time right on the heels of Ronald Reagan and guns were not such stigma as they are today, so I had no reason to worry. But there was something sinister in the reach of authority that the ATF had that made being a gunsmith unattractive, even tyrannical to me. So I quit because I honestly didn’t feel like keeping up with all the ATF regulations and I was worried that an informant of some type might try to set me up by not knowing if I was violating one of the many regulations. About a year later, George Bush was defeated by Bill Clinton, a progressive gun grabbing globalists and the tragedy of Ruby Ridge occurred. As I watched that trial I realized that Randy Weaver had been a victim to the very scam I was worried that I might become victim to. He performed a gunsmithing task by sawing off the barrel of a shotgun, which was against the law. The FBI used that violation as an attempt to extort Weaver into becoming an informant to the Aryan Nation compound which Weaver refused. The results of that refusal of extortion were the Ruby Ridge Massacre. Watch this next video in its entirety. You might have forgotten the Ruby Ridge Massacre but before we move any further you need to remember it.

I learned watching the Ruby Ridge Trial, then the Waco tragedy, how the Walter Lippmann college trained media focused on certain aspects of these cases and how the whole scam worked, which has been covered in great detail at this site. I will not put myself, or my family in a position where the same will happen to me as what happened to Randy. I have been armed everywhere I go now since I was 14 years old and for good reason. There are enemies who wish to control us, they wish to own us, and they wish to make us their slaves. They will use the rules “THEY” create to justify their tyranny. If you watched that video you can see how the FBI attempted to use Randy as an informant. In my experience 99 out of 100 would have taken the job. Randy was the 1 who said no. So how much of this kind of thing is going on today?

Well, it’s more alive today than ever. The recent passage of NDAA is just the tip of the iceberg that the government has utilized to move toward a life that Obama outlined clearly in the Beck video. Obama wishes for a nice, compliant middle-class that does what they are told to do and will accept as their rulers those in the political class to oversee their needs.

And they are coming after our guns, and they are willing to kill to do it. After all, if the government plans to go around arresting dissidents in the future, like we know they plan to otherwise they wouldn’t have passed the NDAA Act and started building FEMA camps to hold all those new prisoners, they certainly learned their lesson in the case of the Randy Weaver incident. They need to disarm our population so such arrests won’t be so risky in the future. To attack further the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution ATF agents constructed an elaborate plan to use its Fast and Furious gun-running operation to facilitate violence by Mexican drug lords in the interest of pursuing the Obama administration gun-control agenda.

This wasn’t reported by Alex Jones, Glenn Beck or any of the “radical” government types. This was reported by CBS reporter Sharyl Atkisson. The story is so complicated that it does require some explanation, which Alex Jones again did a great job of amplification.


I know that many of you just returned from shopping at Macy’s, or JC Penny or some other wonderful economic paradise, and these types of subjects are disturbing, and not much fun to ponder. But they are a fact, and they happen because the population has been trained in public education to follow direction, not to think.

For those who need to be brought up to speed with the things some of us have been thinking about and watching for decades, movies are a great way to start opening your mind to the difficult realities we are finding necessary to come to grips with. And one such film that I would highly recommend which will sum up everything you have seen and heard here today and provide a foundation of understanding to build upon is the great Terry Gilliam film called Brazil.

Brazil is the modern remake of the classic motion picture and book 1984, and it is a fabulous film. However, Terry Giliam is known as one of the Monty Python guys so the movie is a bit obscure in its abstractness at times. It’s a serious film that has many moments of humor in it, which is difficult for some people to accept at the same time, but such filmmaking is Gilliam’s style. Essentially the movie is about a society that is socialist in political affiliation. The State uses television to keep society occupied and trained while anti-terrorism efforts are at such a level that all suspects are detained quickly and efficiently.

I have below the first 8 minutes of that film which sets up the premise for the entire story. A fly falls mistakenly into a printer that is sent out to the anti-terror team whose job it is to detain terror suspects. When the fly falls into the printer, a mistake is made and the government apprehends the wrong person, an innocent man sitting quietly in his home with his family waiting for Christmas to arrive. When the anti-terrorist team comes for the arrest they make the wife sign away her husband and she gets a receipt for him in exchange. Notice how she signs the paper even though her entire existence has just been turned upside down.

What would you do if such a thing happened? Would you sign the paper like she did? Would you revert back to the mean teacher in the third grade who yelled at you for not standing quietly in the cafeteria lunch line, or waiting in line to get a drink of water, or marching down the hall in line to go to recess? Didn’t it ever occur to you that there is a lot of standing in line going on in public school, a lot of learning how to do what you are told, even if your instinct says otherwise.

To your public education trained mind does Randy Weaver sound like a crazy person? How about his daughter? What about Glenn Beck? Or Alex Jones? Or me? Do you think we’re all crazy and that we are simply the minority who are seeing conspiracies instead of a government who seeks to care for its people so they can go Christmas shopping in peace? Oh, wait a minute; we can’t call it Christmas shopping anymore because the same groups that Obama wants to feed with more members, the unions, and other progressive organizations want you to call Christmas shopping, “HOLIDAY” shopping.

It’s all part of the government openly attempting to reprogram the American people and what the Randy Weaver’s of decades ago were warning about and is absolutely true to this day. Laws against The Constitution are being passed right out in the open because the government no longer fears the people they wish to rule. They have the power and we gave it to them with a smile on our faces because we allowed ourselves to be swindled. It happened while you were shopping ladies, and men, it happened while you were watching the sports. It happened during primetime television shows like Two and a Half Men and a host of other shows directing your mind to sex, while secretly the members of our government have made their moves against you in every way possible.

It is no longer fictional disillusion the conspiracy theories of the radical right-wing. The reality is true, truer than even the worst nightmares feared. And now that we are waking up from that nightmare we must decide what to do about it.

Well, I can speak for myself. Mommas don’t let your babies grow up to be soldiers, because if the government sends them to my house to arrest me for pointing out what a bunch of scum bags the members of our current government are, they won’t be coming home for Christmas. The smart thing would be to let them become dishwashers, labors, computer programmers, or construction workers, to not take on any debts and they’ll grow up wealthy…..and alive. Hey, it’s a fair warning. If the government isn’t going to respect the law of The Constitution, then I do not recognize that government’s authority and consider them a domestic enemy the same as a thief who might attempt to break into my home or rob me in a back alley. The America I know is a republic built upon The United States Constitution. The mob of democracy or majority rule does not impress me, and does not warrant the loss of my freedoms. Just because the government used public education to make a majority of the American population stupid does not mean I am going along for the ride, and it sure doesn’t mean that I will consent to an arrest. It really is that simple. CLICK THIS LINK FOR MORE:

And before we part this time dear reader I’d like to share with you an email I received recommending a new preamble to the Constitution put forth by State Representative Mitchell Kaye from GAI think it says a lot as to how a lot of people still feel, and how they intend to act in the trying times that are before us.

 

“We the  sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get  along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep our  nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of  debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren,  hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense  guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional, and other  liberal bed-wetters. We hold these truths to be self-evident: that a  whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim  they require a Bill of NON-Rights.”

ARTICLE I:  You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form  of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one  is guaranteeing anything.

ARTICLE  II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is  based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone — not just you!  You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion,  etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will  be.

ARTICLE  III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a  screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful; do not expect the  tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently  wealthy.

ARTICLE  IV: You do not  have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most  charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but  we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation  of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the  creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes . (This one  is my pet peeve…get an education and go to work….don’t expect  everyone else to take care of you!)

ARTICLE V:  You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but  from the looks of public housing, we’re just not interested in public  health care.

ARTICLE  VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you  kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don’t be surprised if  the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric  chair.

ARTICLE  VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob,  cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don’t be  surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place  where you still won’t have the right to a big screen color TV or a life  of leisure.

ARTICLE  VIII: You do not have the right to a job.. All of us sure want you to  have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect  you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational  training laid before you to make yourself useful.  (AMEN!)

ARTICLE  IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that  you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a lot  easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws  created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of  Rights.

ARTICLE  X: This is an  English-speaking country. We don’t care where you are from, English is  our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you came from!  (Lastly….)

ARTICLE  XI: You do not have the right to change our country’s history or  heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true God. And  yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or  no faith at all; with no fear of persecution.
 
The phrase IN GOD WE  TRUST is part of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable  with it, TOUGH!

A Supercar that runs on Vegetable Oil: THE GREATEST CAR CHASE IN HISTORY!

The second edit for my new book Tail of the Dragon is well on its way. As we speak my editor is plugging away at the daunting task of delivering it back to me for a final edit near the start of the New Year and from there a 2012 release date will be forthcoming. I know a lot of my readers here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom are interested in this very cryptic project of mine that has been three years in the making now. While I can’t give away specific details I can provide the tentative marketing summary that I prepared for my publisher as we enter into this next phase and begin to contemplate marketing necessities for the books release which you can see below.

________________________________________________________

THE GREATEST CAR CHASE IN AMERICAN HISTORY BEGINS WITH A RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE.

A highly rebellious loner whose NASCAR dreams have fallen short finds himself the victim of a governor’s plans to run for President of the United States. Wellington Royce, governor of Tennessee is seeking the support of the Fraternal Order of Police to catapult him into the White House by adding more officers to the highways around The Great Smoky Mountains and to pay for them with increased citations on the tourists who visit. Thrown in jail, abused, and set-up, Rick Stevens in a fit of rage accepts an offer to declare war on the highway patrol by the governors political enemies using $20 million dollars to build the car of his dreams in a plan to wreak havoc in what becomes the greatest car chase in history. The chase emerges as a journey of self-discovery, deep contemplation and new-found romance as an impenetrable gauntlet of guns, missiles and the might of the military sits at the finish line and the treachery of politics proves to be more sinister than even death.

_______________________________________________________

Tail of the Dragon is an intensely layered novel that intricately combines the struggles of emotional growth with breakneck action and imminent danger with peril at virtually every mile of this illustrious car chase. What makes this particular story unique is that the chase is actually instigated and is politically motivated by the protagonist. People who have read the early manuscript say the beginning is reminiscent of the film First Blood while the ending is 100X the chase at the end of The Road Warrior. The lead character knowing what to expect builds a car specifically designed to out-run, out-wit, and out-maneuver anything the police or military can throw at him. This includes the latest in composite armor technology of course, but the two most unique attributes to this mystery car that is built for this epic car chase are elements that I am particularly passionate about.

When purposely planning to flee from police officers during a high-speed chase the first problem that must be solved is refueling, the Highway Patrol will naturally be sure to shut down all petrol stations within many miles of a fleeing vehicle. That is why the main character in my novel decides to use an alternative fuel for his high performance supercar, something that he can get independent of heavily guarded fuel stops where snipers from helicopters can shoot him dead as soon as he attempts to refuel. The police to prevent further injuries and risk to civilians will naturally attempt to force a car fleeing from officers to simply run out of gas so they can capture the driver when they attempt to escape on foot as the last option. That is when the main character plans to utilize the technology shown in the video below.

Yes, that’s right. The fuel for the supercar in this epic car chase is vegetable oil, which can be found at virtually any restaurant. So in theory our hero plans to refuel his car when he runs out of gas by backing up to a McDonalds and dumping their used oil into his car. And no, the police are not happy about it…..not in the least.

The other big development is in the engine, which is a highly specialized Peugeot diesel engine from France that puts out close to 700 HP. The engine has to be a diesel engine because in order to run a car on vegetable oil the power plant must be a diesel. Now most people think diesel engines are built for trucks. Not so. Have a look at this Audi from Germany and what they’ve been able to do with a diesel engine.

That gives you an idea of what kind of power, and quickness we’re talking about with the super car featured in Tail of the Dragon. When planning to outrun everything the police have available, and the aircraft that the military has to offer a car would need to accelerate from zero to 100 in less than 7 to 10 seconds and would need a top speed of over 200 M.P.H. because many police departments have their own supercars for such high-speed pursuits. But you could not have a fuel source that the police could control but something that existed on the open market in great abundance, like vegetable oil.

In modern America where there are fast food restaurants at nearly every highway exit ramp, vegetable oil is just the thing for a fuel supply. Getting over 700 HP out of an engine that runs on vegetable oil is a bit tricky, but Peugeot has solved the problem by producing a diesel racing engine for Le Mans events so the technology for all my thoughts about the supercar featured in Tail of the Dragon can become a reality.

A government out-of-control: the senators who voted for NDAA

Just like in the golden age of piracy in the Caribbean where the ships needed to be much faster than the ships they were robbing, my editor pointed out to me a few weeks ago that Tail of the Dragon is a modern pirate story and the car in the story was like a modern pirate ship. That was an aspect I hadn’t considered, since I simply wanted to resurrect the good old car chase stories of the 70’s like Crazy Larry and Dirty Mary, Bonnie and Clyde, Smokey and the Bandit, Vantage Point and many others. But in this story the protagonists actually picks a fight with the law, on purpose and for political reasons which conjured up in her mind a pirate story. That was completely unintentional on my behalf, but was simply a byproduct of my interests which any writer is vulnerable to. For the blank page that sits before a writer will soak up the mind of those who fill it, and my mind has a lot bouncing around in it, as anyone who reads here often will know. So yes, my love of pirate lore found its way into my epic novel! It was unavoidable!

The benefit however is that we have a car in this story that is unlike anything ever created for literature or a film. Take every trick car in a James Bond film and you might have something comparable to the pirate car in this story, and that is exciting. I waited for years for somebody else to do a story like this, but they never did, so I accepted the task to put my dreams on paper! I look forward to the day in the very near future where I can share all this great stuff with a larger audience and reveal finally the details of an epic American tale that not only looks to be culturally significant given our current government problems, but will help paint an artistic picture of what the world will look like under the rule of a police state, similar to what the senate just passed with the NDAA act. Such things only three years ago seemed like science fiction to many when I first put pen to paper in the mountains of Tennessee and began the journey that has become Tail of the Dragon. Because the government is growing at an alarming rate, and is becoming more and more intrusive it can be a lot of fun to follow the exploits of a man who looks at this encroachment and decides to go pirate. But it takes more than just a pirate to tell such a story because in every great tale of adventure, plunder, and revenge there is a pirate ship, and Tail of the Dragon certainly has one, so much so that in the words of my editor, “the car is one of the strongest characters.”

Mission accomplished!
